The Supreme Court have reversed Judge Walling’s judgment in the case of William G. Richards et al. (respondents) vs, The Travelér’s Insurance Company. Thisisan action on a policy of life insurance. There was ademurrer to the complaint on the ground that it did not state facts sufficient to constitute a—cause. of action. The demurrer was overruled; the defendant answered, denying the material‘allegations of the complaint and setting up some affirmative matters. This was a trial by jury, verdict for the plaintiffs and judgment accordingly, The defendant appealed on the judyment roll. : A New suit, Isaac L. Thurber of Santa Cruz and » Judson Rice of Santa Clara ‘have begun suit in the Superior Court against Harvey Brown, E. W. Roberts and the Baltic Consolidated Mining Company to foreclose a mortgage for $7,000 on the Crown®Point quartz mine in Eureka mining district, this county. The Baltie Con. Company purchased from Messrs. Roberts and Brown this claim subbject to the mortgage whict. is now sued on by the mortgagors, No part of the principal or of the interest (6 percent. since January 22d, 1887,) has been paid. Joseph H. Skirm of Santa Oruz is attorney for the plaintiffs. A Pleasant Surprise. On. Thursday evening Llew Boardman was made the recipient of a complete and pleasant surprise at his home on East Broad street.

What pleases me particularly is when I say anything to have it corroborated. In the course of my comments on the Native Sons I referred to them as including many rising “‘litterateurs”’ or newspaper men, and in support of my statement comes you,a newspaper editor and a Native Son, with an original aad appropriate poem of genuine literary merit, and which will live long. It makes mé feel right But to business: You know (for you have published it) that Senator Wm. M. Stewart of the State of Nevada has introduced in Congress a bill to amend our present mininglaws. It is pending before a’ committee and will not come up till the next session of Congress. Meantime, the Senator has invited suggestions, criticism and advice from those who are most interested in the subject—the miners themselves, of which I am one of nearly forty years’ standing. The publication of said suggestions has begun in the Mining and Scientific Press, Some of those. submitted are good and sensible, others are all bosh and written simply because the authors wanted to see their names in print. It was my intention at first to express myself through the Press, but on reflection I would rather do so first in your paper here at Nevada City which is the very center. of the world’s miming intelligence. AndI would ask, as Senator Stewart has done, the opinions and It. Looks Like a ColdaBlooded Murder. THE SHOOTER ARRESTED. The Premonitory Dream the District Attorney Had Thursday Night. In-the-town of Washington at 7:30 o’clock Thursday evening David Steele shot Petter Chappel, inflicting a wound which at last accounts was expected to result in death at—most any moment.’ The bullet went in just to the left of the front center of the neck, severing the wind-pipe and esophagus and striking the spinal cord, creating paralysis of the entire. body and members. It lodged in the back of the neck from which point Dr. Freeman removed it. The shooter was arrested by Constable Crawford soon after committing the crime. Chappel made a Statement charging Steele with the shooting, and alleging that it. was not done in self defense. “Why didn’t he club me and kick me if he wanted to persecute-me ?”’ moaned the dying man frequently during the night; ‘‘why did he murder me in this way?” The shooting occurred in the street betweer. E. T. Worthley’s stable and Henry Kohler’s store. Chappel was foreman of the Orion quartz claim in God's Country, and had just come in from there on horseback. He went with Mr, Worthley to the latter’s stable to put up his horse and started back alone toward’ the hotel. He had gone-but a few rods when Steele stepped up and shot him. Some boys were. playing around the watering trough a few feet away, but they heard no quarrel, nor was there so far as they heard any controversy. Steele hastened away as his victim fell, but in a short time Constable Crawford captured him and kept him under surveillance pending the arrival of District Attorney Nilon who just before noon Friday received word of the trouble and immediately left for there with Dr. Muller who had also been sent for. ay Steele isa Canadian about 25 years of age and came to Washington from Utah Territory. He 1s a prospector and until a few months ago worked a gravel claim near the Central House, Chappel is over 30 years old and a brother of George Chappel of this city, He went from ‘here to Washington and for some time after his arrival there resided at the notorious Rocky Bar House, which is situated half a. mile from the town and is conducted bya woman of bad repute. When Chappel went to mining Steele became his successor as a companion of the woman and made his headquarters at henplace. This condition of affairs led to a bad feeling between the two men, and it is suid they had quarreled on several occasions, Chappell in coming from the mine to town Thursday necessarily passed the house, and it is surmised that he may have stopped there and had some trouble that led up to the shooting, REPORTED DEAD. It was reported at this city late in the eens “Sr Chappel had died. A PI ie MONITORY DREAM. ~ “That explains the startling dream Thad last night,” said District Attorney Nilon when the Transcript man conveyed to him as soon as it arrived the intelligence of the shooting. “What dream?” “I dreamed that I was unex pectedly called to-Washington on some official mission the nature of which I could not-recall_ upon awakening,.I thought I wentin a two-horse carriage and got along nicely’ till just after passing the Central House, Then my team and vehicle suddenly digappeared as thou,h swallowed up jin the earth andI found myself alone and afvot trying to climba hill that stood on edge like the wall of my office here. I struggled long and desperately to proceed, but k pt slipping back and could make no headway. I was in despair, and was just toturn homeward when the scene changed magicaHy. The hill sank in an instant and there was a level stretch of country where it loomed up, The trail, plainly defined an smooth, reached away in the distance, and I hastened along it. toward Washington from which point I could hear cries coming for me to hasten or I would be too late, Iran so fast that 1 awoke,” —_—_—_— Tuar tired feeling is entirely overcome by Hood’s Sarsapariila, which creates an appetite, rouses the liver, cures headache, and gives renewed to just and equitable laws for our mutual benefit and protection. Now let me say a word about the originator of the amendments, the miners’ friend and guardian, the man whom we must look to for protection in our rights, the Hon. Senator Wm. M, Stewart of the State of Nevada. I have given him his full title. If hereafter [should speak of him as “Bill Stewart”’ or “ Bill” it will not be from disrespect or undue familiarity, but simply out of old habits, I have known Bill Stewart since 1851. He -wasthen a farmer, or as we Californians say, a rancher, living within two miles of the Nevada county courthouse, and he and his partners used to Idbor on the ranch. You will find the ranch recorded on the county records as the 8. P, Ranch, which was an abbreviation. It is now the John S. Dunn Rancl. The owners raised pigs among other products, hence Stewart has been called a *hogdriver.” He has also been called a “‘bull-whacker” and an ‘“ox-puncher.” There is no disgrace in any of those vocations but he never feilowed them. In the summer of 1852 he entered the law office of J. R. McConnell as a student: He was then a rather awkward and gawkish young man 25 or 26 years of age. McConnell had takena particular fancy to me and we became more than intimate. A warm friendship sprang up between us. We will say nothing about some of McConnell’s habits nor about his later political opinions ; but whoever denies that he was & warm-hearted and loyal friend, a close observer of character and an able lawyer, either did not know him well or is prejudiced against him. In McConnell’s office I first became well acquainted with Bill Stewart. The gang Iran with at that time used to laugh at the idea of his ever making a lawyer, and sometimes they would chaff McConnell about him. One evening the crowd, I among them, were passing through a saloon from Main to Broad street when we discovered standing at the bar, tumbler before him, McConnell. He was on one of his periodicals. The boys began guying him about Stewart and we all took asmile, Then we started for Broad street. Mac called me back: ~He had a cocktail with a bar-spoon in it. He was just in the right; condition to prophesy, and thus he spoke: “Harry, I wéuld not tell those fellows 80, for they have no sense, but 1 will tell you, They laugh and gibe at Bill Stewart, but. mark my werds: Any young fellow, even though he has not brains enough to fill that spoon, that has the indomitable. energy and_perseverance of Bill, is bound to make his mark.’’ ! Stewart had not then been admitted to the bur, but at every onward and upward step of his career I have recalled Mac’s prophecy. I ‘have been told by one who for years has occupied a judicial position, and today is the Chief Justice of the State, that Stewart when a boy in the high school, and later at college, always carried off the first honors in algebra, Euclid and the higher mathematics. It takes brains to do what. Bill Stewart has done, and in him above all other men in the Unien do I us a miner put my trust. Through him I expect to have restored to me by act of Congress what Congress once granted me, and of which I have been deprived by sub-. courts and petty loval prejudices. Tt you will publish them I will soon give you my ideas of the amendments needed by our present mining code, Strength and vigor tothe whole body, Yours Truly, . C.H: Seymour, Be sure to get.

The Cream of the Latest Hap,penings There. Wasuinaton, D. C., Sept. 7, 1889. -Eprror. Transcrrer — PostmasterGeneral Wanamaker has had several consultations with President Green of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and a rumor says that a compromise between the Government and the telegraph company is on the eve of being effected. Mr. Wanamaker refuses to confirm or deny the rumor, Tn reply to a direct question he said: “I have nothing to say about the conversation with Mr. Green. There is nothing to be said publicly about a matter which is under private discussion.” * The President a few days ago settled one of the hardest fought contests for an office that has yet been fought before him by the appointment of Frank P. Clark to be Collector of Customs at E: Paso, Texas. There were thirty-seven candidates in the field for this office and each of them had been, since the fourth of March, “hustling” as only a Texan knows how to “‘hustle” to “‘get there.’ The man appointed has from the first been the choice of Secretary’ Windom for the place and four times his commission has been sent to the President for his signature; but. the other candidates combining succeeded each time in preventing the attachment of the President’s autograph thereto. This case gives a good idea of the trouble there is in filling offices. The National Museum here has just been presented: with two interesting war relics. One is the gun—a light, double-barreled — fowling piece—with which Col. Ellsworth of the New York Zouaves was killed on the steps of the “Marshall House’’ in Alexandria, Vir-. ginia, as he was returning from ‘the roof where he had gone to remove a Confederate flag, and the other is the old ‘fashioned army. musket with sword bayonet with which the slayer of Ellsworth was shot and afterwards pinned to the floor by private’ Brow: nell, The weapons were presented to the museum by Brownell in whose possession they have been since the unfortunate tragedy, which at the time of its occurence—May 24, 1861—cre-ated a profound. sengation throughout the United States. Hon. Edward Wolcott, the new Senator from Colorado, isin Washington tosecure ahouse. He refuses to disenss politics saying that hé wants to familiarize himself with things before, asthey say in the mines, ‘shooting his mouth off.”’ Sixth Auditor Coulter is one of the that he believes the offices should. be given to the men who helped elect the President, He also believes in keeping up the work of his offive; and he how to do it, by putting his whole force to working until 9 o’clock at night in order to catch up on the exBroun 8,880 postoices, which he found much behind. Mr, Coulter is what the mugwumps call a “spoilsman,”’ but to ‘a man up a tree” it looks as if it would be a good. thing to have more like him in office. Forry-Niner. 90 A Land Contest. Telegraph: There is a land contest going on in the Sacramento Land Office between a mineral and agricultural claimant. The land involved is an extension of the Eagle Bird ming of Washington township. The agricultural claimant wants that land for his farm and the other wants-it for a mine. Fred Searls is the attorney for the mining ‘man and we_ believe a Sacramento lawyer 1s looking out for the agricultural man. The agricultural man claims that the land when surveyed was not returned as mineral by the surveyors, and that the land was granted as non-mineral to the Central Pacific Railroad Company, and that corporation has quit-claimed =r has just given a practical illustration of .

The spice obtained from this bark was used by the Hebrews in their religious ceremonies 1500 years before the Christian era. The island of Ceylon is the greatest-center of production of true cinnamon, the soil being light, sandy and particularly well adapted to the growth of cinnamon trees, groves of which cover many hundreds of acres.

What pleases me particularly is when I say anything to have it corroborated. In the course of my comments on the Native Sons I referred to them as including many rising “‘litterateurs”’ or newspaper men, and in support of my statement comes you,a newspaper editor and a Native Son, with an original aad appropriate poem of genuine literary merit, and which will live long. It makes mé feel right But to business: You know (for you have published it) that Senator Wm. M. Stewart of the State of Nevada has introduced in Congress a bill to amend our present mininglaws. It is pending before a’ committee and will not come up till the next session of Congress. Meantime, the Senator has invited suggestions, criticism and advice from those who are most interested in the subject—the miners themselves, of which I am one of nearly forty years’ standing. The publication of said suggestions has begun in the Mining and Scientific Press, Some of those. submitted are good and sensible, others are all bosh and written simply because the authors wanted to see their names in print. It was my intention at first to express myself through the Press, but on reflection I would rather do so first in your paper here at Nevada City which is the very center. of the world’s miming intelligence. AndI would ask, as Senator Stewart has done, the opinions and It. Looks Like a ColdaBlooded Murder. THE SHOOTER ARRESTED. The Premonitory Dream the District Attorney Had Thursday Night. In-the-town of Washington at 7:30 o’clock Thursday evening David Steele shot Petter Chappel, inflicting a wound which at last accounts was expected to result in death at—most any moment.’ The bullet went in just to the left of the front center of the neck, severing the wind-pipe and esophagus and striking the spinal cord, creating paralysis of the entire. body and members. It lodged in the back of the neck from which point Dr. Freeman removed it. The shooter was arrested by Constable Crawford soon after committing the crime. Chappel made a Statement charging Steele with the shooting, and alleging that it. was not done in self defense. “Why didn’t he club me and kick me if he wanted to persecute-me ?”’ moaned the dying man frequently during the night; ‘‘why did he murder me in this way?” The shooting occurred in the street betweer. E. T. Worthley’s stable and Henry Kohler’s store. Chappel was foreman of the Orion quartz claim in God's Country, and had just come in from there on horseback. He went with Mr, Worthley to the latter’s stable to put up his horse and started back alone toward’ the hotel. He had gone-but a few rods when Steele stepped up and shot him. Some boys were. playing around the watering trough a few feet away, but they heard no quarrel, nor was there so far as they heard any controversy. Steele hastened away as his victim fell, but in a short time Constable Crawford captured him and kept him under surveillance pending the arrival of District Attorney Nilon who just before noon Friday received word of the trouble and immediately left for there with Dr. Muller who had also been sent for. ay Steele isa Canadian about 25 years of age and came to Washington from Utah Territory. He 1s a prospector and until a few months ago worked a gravel claim near the Central House, Chappel is over 30 years old and a brother of George Chappel of this city, He went from ‘here to Washington and for some time after his arrival there resided at the notorious Rocky Bar House, which is situated half a. mile from the town and is conducted bya woman of bad repute. When Chappel went to mining Steele became his successor as a companion of the woman and made his headquarters at henplace. This condition of affairs led to a bad feeling between the two men, and it is suid they had quarreled on several occasions, Chappell in coming from the mine to town Thursday necessarily passed the house, and it is surmised that he may have stopped there and had some trouble that led up to the shooting, REPORTED DEAD. It was reported at this city late in the eens “Sr Chappel had died. A PI ie MONITORY DREAM. ~ “That explains the startling dream Thad last night,” said District Attorney Nilon when the Transcript man conveyed to him as soon as it arrived the intelligence of the shooting. “What dream?” “I dreamed that I was unex pectedly called to-Washington on some official mission the nature of which I could not-recall_ upon awakening,.I thought I wentin a two-horse carriage and got along nicely’ till just after passing the Central House, Then my team and vehicle suddenly digappeared as thou,h swallowed up jin the earth andI found myself alone and afvot trying to climba hill that stood on edge like the wall of my office here. I struggled long and desperately to proceed, but k pt slipping back and could make no headway. I was in despair, and was just toturn homeward when the scene changed magicaHy. The hill sank in an instant and there was a level stretch of country where it loomed up, The trail, plainly defined an smooth, reached away in the distance, and I hastened along it. toward Washington from which point I could hear cries coming for me to hasten or I would be too late, Iran so fast that 1 awoke,” —_—_—_— Tuar tired feeling is entirely overcome by Hood’s Sarsapariila, which creates an appetite, rouses the liver, cures headache, and gives renewed to just and equitable laws for our mutual benefit and protection. Now let me say a word about the originator of the amendments, the miners’ friend and guardian, the man whom we must look to for protection in our rights, the Hon. Senator Wm. M, Stewart of the State of Nevada. I have given him his full title. If hereafter [should speak of him as “Bill Stewart”’ or “ Bill” it will not be from disrespect or undue familiarity, but simply out of old habits, I have known Bill Stewart since 1851. He -wasthen a farmer, or as we Californians say, a rancher, living within two miles of the Nevada county courthouse, and he and his partners used to Idbor on the ranch. You will find the ranch recorded on the county records as the 8. P, Ranch, which was an abbreviation. It is now the John S. Dunn Rancl. The owners raised pigs among other products, hence Stewart has been called a *hogdriver.” He has also been called a “‘bull-whacker” and an ‘“ox-puncher.” There is no disgrace in any of those vocations but he never feilowed them. In the summer of 1852 he entered the law office of J. R. McConnell as a student: He was then a rather awkward and gawkish young man 25 or 26 years of age. McConnell had takena particular fancy to me and we became more than intimate. A warm friendship sprang up between us. We will say nothing about some of McConnell’s habits nor about his later political opinions ; but whoever denies that he was & warm-hearted and loyal friend, a close observer of character and an able lawyer, either did not know him well or is prejudiced against him. In McConnell’s office I first became well acquainted with Bill Stewart. The gang Iran with at that time used to laugh at the idea of his ever making a lawyer, and sometimes they would chaff McConnell about him. One evening the crowd, I among them, were passing through a saloon from Main to Broad street when we discovered standing at the bar, tumbler before him, McConnell. He was on one of his periodicals. The boys began guying him about Stewart and we all took asmile, Then we started for Broad street. Mac called me back: ~He had a cocktail with a bar-spoon in it. He was just in the right; condition to prophesy, and thus he spoke: “Harry, I wéuld not tell those fellows 80, for they have no sense, but 1 will tell you, They laugh and gibe at Bill Stewart, but. mark my werds: Any young fellow, even though he has not brains enough to fill that spoon, that has the indomitable. energy and_perseverance of Bill, is bound to make his mark.’’ ! Stewart had not then been admitted to the bur, but at every onward and upward step of his career I have recalled Mac’s prophecy. I ‘have been told by one who for years has occupied a judicial position, and today is the Chief Justice of the State, that Stewart when a boy in the high school, and later at college, always carried off the first honors in algebra, Euclid and the higher mathematics. It takes brains to do what. Bill Stewart has done, and in him above all other men in the Unien do I us a miner put my trust. Through him I expect to have restored to me by act of Congress what Congress once granted me, and of which I have been deprived by sub-. courts and petty loval prejudices. Tt you will publish them I will soon give you my ideas of the amendments needed by our present mining code, Strength and vigor tothe whole body, Yours Truly, . C.H: Seymour, Be sure to get.

The Cream of the Latest Hap,penings There. Wasuinaton, D. C., Sept. 7, 1889. -Eprror. Transcrrer — PostmasterGeneral Wanamaker has had several consultations with President Green of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and a rumor says that a compromise between the Government and the telegraph company is on the eve of being effected. Mr. Wanamaker refuses to confirm or deny the rumor, Tn reply to a direct question he said: “I have nothing to say about the conversation with Mr. Green. There is nothing to be said publicly about a matter which is under private discussion.” * The President a few days ago settled one of the hardest fought contests for an office that has yet been fought before him by the appointment of Frank P. Clark to be Collector of Customs at E: Paso, Texas. There were thirty-seven candidates in the field for this office and each of them had been, since the fourth of March, “hustling” as only a Texan knows how to “‘hustle” to “‘get there.’ The man appointed has from the first been the choice of Secretary’ Windom for the place and four times his commission has been sent to the President for his signature; but. the other candidates combining succeeded each time in preventing the attachment of the President’s autograph thereto. This case gives a good idea of the trouble there is in filling offices. The National Museum here has just been presented: with two interesting war relics. One is the gun—a light, double-barreled — fowling piece—with which Col. Ellsworth of the New York Zouaves was killed on the steps of the “Marshall House’’ in Alexandria, Vir-. ginia, as he was returning from ‘the roof where he had gone to remove a Confederate flag, and the other is the old ‘fashioned army. musket with sword bayonet with which the slayer of Ellsworth was shot and afterwards pinned to the floor by private’ Brow: nell, The weapons were presented to the museum by Brownell in whose possession they have been since the unfortunate tragedy, which at the time of its occurence—May 24, 1861—cre-ated a profound. sengation throughout the United States. Hon. Edward Wolcott, the new Senator from Colorado, isin Washington tosecure ahouse. He refuses to disenss politics saying that hé wants to familiarize himself with things before, asthey say in the mines, ‘shooting his mouth off.”’ Sixth Auditor Coulter is one of the that he believes the offices should. be given to the men who helped elect the President, He also believes in keeping up the work of his offive; and he how to do it, by putting his whole force to working until 9 o’clock at night in order to catch up on the exBroun 8,880 postoices, which he found much behind. Mr, Coulter is what the mugwumps call a “spoilsman,”’ but to ‘a man up a tree” it looks as if it would be a good. thing to have more like him in office. Forry-Niner. 90 A Land Contest. Telegraph: There is a land contest going on in the Sacramento Land Office between a mineral and agricultural claimant. The land involved is an extension of the Eagle Bird ming of Washington township. The agricultural claimant wants that land for his farm and the other wants-it for a mine. Fred Searls is the attorney for the mining ‘man and we_ believe a Sacramento lawyer 1s looking out for the agricultural man. The agricultural man claims that the land when surveyed was not returned as mineral by the surveyors, and that the land was granted as non-mineral to the Central Pacific Railroad Company, and that corporation has quit-claimed =r has just given a practical illustration of .
