Child Strangles In
Mother’s Arms
LOYALTON
(Sierra Co.), May 6 - A little nine-month-old baby boy belonging to Mr. and
Mrs. BEAUCHAMP, strangled to death yesterday morning, lying in its mother’s arms.
The mother, while about her work, placed the child, which was perfectly well,
on the floor. It is supposed that it put something in its mouth, which was
breathed into the lungs. A physician was called, but could not relieve the
child. The father is employed by the White Pine Company, and was working at the
logging camp beyond Beckwith. A switch engine was dispatched to bring him home.
Storm Interferes With Logging
LOYALTON
(Sierra Co.), may 6 - The storm was followed by a
severe freeze last night, damaging fruit quite badly. The storm brought the
heaviest fall of snow seen in the valley and eighteen inches at Lewis Mills. It
secures the grain and hay crop, but is a setback to the mills, as the snow
interferes with logging.

COURT REPORTER WAS WELL PAID
J.
BROWNLEE of
REDDING
(Shasta Co.), May 6 - Fred J. BROWNLEE, official Court reporter of Shasta
County, received last year $7931.67 from the county for services performed in
criminal cases. The figures are those of the county expert, who made his report
yesterday to the Grand Jury, which appointed him.
The sum paid to Brownlee shows how favorable
the law is to Court reporters. This sum of $7931.67 by no means represents his
total earnings for the year, for he did lots of work in civil cases, for which
he was paid as liberally by the litigants as the county has by law had to pay
him im criminal matters. The amount of money coming
to the Court reporter from civil business is of course not a matter of record,
but it must have been $2000, or quite enough to pay for the extra help he has
had to employ.
And then, on top of that, Brownlee has all
the time been official Court reporter of
Owes His Life to Devoted Wife
HOWARD
MANSON NURSED BY HIS WIFE, RECOVERS AFTER LONG SIEGE OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS
RED
BLUFF (Tehama Co.), May 6 - The case of Howard Manson, the employe
of the Sierra Lumber Company, who was struck on the head by a large driving
belt in the planing mill on the east side of the
river six months ago, has attracted considerable attention from the medical
fraternity, and it was generally supposed that his case was hopeless. His
strong constitution and the faithful nursing he has received from his devoted
wife have proven more than a match for a fractured skull, and yesterday Manson
surprised all his friends by walking about on the streets apparently as well as
ever.
He was unconscious almost continuously since
the accident, and a fortnight since showed signs of regaining his faculties.
His recovery was gradual, and several days ago he surprised his family and
friends by waking as if from a dream with all his senses as complete as before.
Aside from a little trouble with his eyes, which is believed to be only
temporary, Manson is entirely himself again. The wife has patiently and
steadfastly believed that her husband would be restored to her, and has fought
every attempt to replace him to a sanitarium or any place where she could not
be by his side. She is more than happy over the fortunate ending of what was
believed to be a fatal accident, and her neighbors rejoice with her in this
good fortune.
Judge Declares Complaint Faulty
RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), May 6 - Judge ELLISON
yesterday handed down an opinion in which he declared that the complaint was
defective in the suit brought by
The opinion says the complaint should show by
what officer or under authority of what officer the line was run and marked on
the ground; that there is a dispute between the counties as to where the true
boundary line is; and if there is a line north of the one described in the
complaint that is claimed by the defendant as the true line between the
counties, that fact should be stated, and, if the plaintiff can, perhaps it
should describe this north line by monuments, courses and distances; and if it
was marked out or caused to be marked out by the defendant, that should be
stated, thereby making the case of a confusion of boundaries caused by the act
of the defendant.
Twenty days are given in which to file an
amended or supplemental complaint.

PLACER
Romance
Develops in Which a Pioneer of 70 is to Marry Woman of 60
Last evening a reception was given the old
residents at Snowden’s Hall and was attended by large crowds. The program
to-day was a basket picnic at the race track grounds. Over 100 of the old Placerites arrived on yesterday afternoon’s train and a
large number came in conveyances from the mountain regions. The weather was
faultless, and as this is the favored time for the shrubs and flowers, the
visitors came when their old abode looks its best and it was the most
propitious gathering ever held by the early settlers of the county.
There is a large difference in the number of
Pioneers present from those at former gatherings, as many have passed away.
The visitors were warmly welcomed at the
reception last evening. Jacob H. NEFF was Chairman of the evening and J.M.
FULWELLER made the address of welcome.
A grand ball will be given this evening in
honor of the guests.
The baseball game between the county
officials of
Quite a romance has developed in the
Pioneers’ celebration. It is the marriage of two of the best-known visitors -
W.F. NORCROSS and Ellen Jane SHERMAN, which was to have taken place at the
reception last evening, but at the last moment the plans were changed.
The marriage was to have been a surprising
feature of the reception, and but a few were aware of the approaching nuptials.
Mr. NORCROSS, who has been
at the head of all the Pioneer excursions, is one of the most prominent of
California Pioneers, and a well-known mining operator. He is in the 70's
while his intended bride is in the 60's.
He made an address to the Pioneers last
evening and it was intimated that at the conclusion of his remarks he would
surprise his old friends by his marriage, which was to have taken place on the
platform in the presents of several hundred spectators.
Rev. A.K. GLOVER has been selected to perform
the ceremony, which will probably take place at the picnic grounds.
A Cold Deal
MONTAGUE
(Siskiyou Co.), May 6 - While Norris & Rowe circus was going on here
yesterday, someone thought to be concerned with the side show, helped himself
to 1000 pounds of ice belonging to R.H. PHILLIPS, the drayman of the town.
Constable MILES was notified and followed the show to Medford, Oregon, where he
made the charge and succeeded in settling the matter for $25 and costs.
Kick From
Horse May Prove Fatal
OROVILLE
(Butte Co.), May 6 - Yesterday word was received from Hansonville
that Henry KLOSS, who was kicked yesterday by a horse, is not expected to
recover. His brother, August Kloss, of this place,
was summoned there by telephone. The injured man is a brother of Mrs. PUTMAN
and Mrs. KRUGER, of Oroville, and formerly lived here.

The employers say they cannot compete with Eastern houses, which have the nine-hour rule. A number of large shops, however, have agreed to continue the eight-hour conditions and will keep their places of business running.

Yolo’s District Attorney and Officers Raid Hall at Winters and Make Wholesale Arrests.
WINTERS (Yolo Co.), July 4 - The
promised boxing contest or “exhibition” came off Monday night as promised - and
then something else came off not on the published program. The whole gang was
placed under arrest.

At
Joe PERRY, of Santa Clara, was
the heavier weight and seemed to put much dependence on that fact, as he was
rusher from the start. Jimmie ERVIN, the San Francisco boy, would deliver his
blow and get away or clinch every time. He didn’t wait for the other fellow to
strike more than twice.
Then the unexpected happened. Just
at the close of the first and only round, ERVIN gave his opponent a blow in the
left side, just below the heart, and he fell to the floor like a dead man. The
referee counted ten while PERRY lay at full length; and then it was all off.
And something else unexpected
happened right here. District Attorney HUSTON, with eight deputy officers, took
possession of the hall.
Everything had been well planned
and a man was at every door. Two or three spectators climbed out of the windows
to the awning and dropped fifteen feet to the sidewalk, but everybody else was
arrested. The spectators were allowed to go on their own recognizance to appear
as witnesses, when wanted; the Referee and two other participants in the
arrangements were given their liberty on bail, but all those directly
participating in the fight were taken to Woodland. These included E.S. SPRAGUE,
the promoter, the two fighters, and F.V. HAYS, a young man acting as
doorkeeper. The officers also captured the gate receipts, amounting to $20.
The
arrest was made when the fight was actually in progress. Many think however,
that the knockout was a fake and that the one round was fought simply that the
gate receipts could be claimed.

feast there was a half hour of speech-making in which old and young took part,
and the banquet festivities continued to the late hour in the afternoon.

A
WINNING TICKET THAT DID NOT PAY
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), October 7 - According to a
story being told by John CARRIGAN and Arvin WARD, two young men of this city,
they are winners in a Chinese lottery concern which holds drawings twice a day,
to the tune of $625, but the Celestial who directs the affairs of the company
holds that the alleged winning ticket is of an old series and of an other
concern than his, and refuses to pay up.
Carrigan and Ward state the ticket was purchased yesterday
afternoon, the first named paying 15 cents and the last named 10 cents toward
the price of the ticket. When they returned to the place in the evening they
discovered that they had invested in a “nine spot,” which means a winning of
$625 when the company sees fit to pay it.
The young men
have placed the matter in the hands of two attorneys. They claim that prominent
Chinese merchants have told them that they are on the right track. Carrigan and Ward have played at the game before, and hold that they know enough of the workings of
the Chinese lotteries to know a winning ticket when they see one.

At this point
Mrs. Stevenson appeared and filed a complaint, setting forth her claim to the
whole of the estate. She alleged that in March, 1904, Kleisch,
who was a man of 60 years of age, came to her residence at Butte Creek House,
on the Oroville and Humbug road, and took up his residence there. He
represented to her that he had about $5000 in personal property, money on
deposit in the Hibernia Bank, mortgages, etc. and exhibited a bank book,
