GOLD IN THE NEW DIGGINGS. Excitement at the Goler and Redrock Camps. Over a Thousand Dollars' Worth of Mutr/gets Exhibited. A New Mine Looated at Summit?lHs- covarr of a Quartz Ledge lv Baesqulte Uanyon - Big Nuggets. Considerable excitement exists about the gold discoveries northeaßt of Mojave, end a large number of people are mak- ing their way to tbe place, which prom- ises to soon become a largely populated region. Yesterday morning at Mojave a Hkrald reporter feasted his eyes upon a thousand dollars' worth of gold nug- gets which had been brought from the new ''diggings" in the Qoler and Hed- rock districts, 28 or 30 miles north of Mojave. If the present indications hold out according to expectation, tbat region will soon become a second El Dorado. It is now assuming the char- acter of tbe old-time California mining camp. The "finds" are now paying from $6 to $20 per day to the man, while many of the older claims are panning out many times that amount. An is the case in al) new mining camps, claims are becoming scurce, but prospecting more plentiful. It was with great excitement that gold was discovered iv the Holer region eight or nine months ago, and many people flocked to the new camp. A party of San Bernardino prospectors stole a march ou many of the gold- seekers. To avoid giving out the object of their mission the party passed through Mojave at night and began work at the mines before it became generally known that gold existed in large quan- tities. The Goler mines have been al- most contiuually worked since last August, with good results. Over $25,000 have boon taken from tbe diggings at Holer, Mr. W. C. Wilson of Mojave has bought and sold over $0000 worth of nuggets from tbat district. The rest line been shipped direct to tbe mint at San Francisco. One ol the beat paying mines at Uoler is the Bald Kagle No. I, owned by Ous Ilagg and A Johnson of San Bernar- dino. A shaft of 35 feet has been sunk and over $2000 worth of coarße gold and nuggets taken out. The "drift" ia ex- cellent. Auother shaft ia being sunk. Mr. Johnßon declined to say what was being taken cut each day, but it was tv- ident that be and nis partner have a bonanza. The Benson Brothers' claim is pan- ning out well. It ia shallow digging, from ti to 10 feet. A nugget from this claim in the possession of Mr. W. C. Wilaon at Mojave weighs $280; another $145 and another $00.50. Tbe larger one waa picked up in Nugget gulch, Charles Sherman, a newspaper man who went into the camp Sunday, pur- chased a large nugget for $147. From the looks of things auch finds are ol lie- quent occurrence. The Queen mine at Goler, owned by Charles Meginson and John Runberg, is paying largely. A snult hae been sunk 108 feet, with flattering prospects, Three bottles of fine gold and nuggets were exhibited to the reporter by Mr. VrvllOTl. The yellow etuH' in I* II Isgkl Goler and amounted to ovor $400. Be- side the claims mentioned, numerous others are being worked successfully. A large number of certificates from the San Francisco mint show the gold to psy $17.77 net per ounce, which is considered big money. The Redrock district is turning out considerable gold. A miner who has been working the district since it was opened six weeks ago, claims that no lesß than an ounce ol gold ia taken out by each man. Three men took out 15 ounceß in one duy, hut this was tho luckiest day encountered. The gold here is coarse, si me uf the uuggets weighing ns high as $8 and $10. These valuable chunks vi gold are growing tcarcer an the days wear on, but pay dirt is found all tha time. Dry washera are largely ueed in taking the gold out. Bedrock ia a very flourishing camp, and is on tbe road to Globe aud the Summit district. The Summit claims were located only four or five days ago and are situated on the elevation dividing the Mojave country from the region opening into Death valley. The south end of the famous valley, of death can be seen from tbe last discovered diggings called Summit. The new find was located by Mr. Van Slack and three other proapectors from Sa-n Bernardino. The locators sold a ciaim to sink a shaft to bed- rock. The proapcci.t are decidedly flattering, aa pay dirt waa found at the outset. W. E. Robinson, an old Los Angelfio, has a claim at Summit which be will work for all it is wortb. He left camp on Sunday for San Francisco to get im- plements, and willreturn soon. Summit is 65 miles from Marjorie and about 30 miles from Redrock. While at Camp Sunday three boya drove from another location and exhib- ited come rich dirt, but refused to give the location. In fact, the whole country ii being prospected and more orießßgold fonnd. Mr. Robinson ia of the opinion that the value of tbe Ooler and Redrock dis- tricts ia limited, while be expresses great confidence in the newly discovered re- gion where hiß claim ia located. Tbia diversion of opinion is only typical of the real miner and cannot be of great value to the proepector in times of mining ex- citement. Six mlleß west of So mmit t here ia an old abandoned quartz mine. More than '.'5 yeara ago a New York party of proepec- tora went into the El Paso district and began mining, but finally gave it up. The deierted mine is a realistic remin- der of the old-time mining booniß. A San Jose party of prospeetora are now engaged in the old deserted EI Paso dis- trict in trying to develop water. It ia thought that good water can be secured. Lack of water ia a drawback to the new Summit diggings. The gold found in theae parte is very tine, unlike that taken from Ooler and Redrock. Several waaheß at Summit appeared to be exten- sive. A San Bernardino prospector claimß that he has discovered anriferouß rock ii laying quantities in Meaginte canon, seven mileß from Kane springs, on the road to Goler and beyond Redrock. The quartz lead ia of recent diecovery. It is tbe first ledge to be found that presents bright prospects. Quartz mining hae aa yet been alinoßt unheard ul in those gold fields. In tha Ooler district miners who pre- fer it are getting $2,50 per day and board. None but good miners are em- ployed. Meals are 35 centa in this camp ; other necessaries in proportion. The prospectors are all supplied with their own outfits, both as to provisions and bedding. The weather up there is cool. Feed for horses, such as grain, is scarce, while the burros do not suffer owing to tbeir peculiar taste for vegeta- tion that the horse cannot touch. In going to Summit the prospectors secure water from Mesquite springs, where the water is unusually good. Water can also be secured at the last station on the road to the borax works in Death valley. The Bedrock district, as before pub- lished in the Hkkalo, is about 27 mileß from Mojave. The road is good the en- tire distance. When the forks of the road is reached, this side of Redrock, the prospector going to Goler takes the road leading to tbe north. The other road leads into Redrock csflon, where there is a mining camp of no small di- mensions. In fact all the region is be- ginning to assume characteristics of early mining days when gold was fonnd easily and spent lavishly. Men and teams are constantly going in and ont of the new gold fields. POLICE COURT CASES. Philip Hoffman Will Hereafter Stay With Butchering. Fhilip Hoffman, a Temple-street butcher, was found guilty yesterday of selling lottery tickets, and received the light fine of $1 from Judge Austin, It appeard that Hoffman owned a horse for which he had no use and could And no ready sale. Accordingly he concluded to dispose of the horse by means of a rclile. The tickets sold for $1 apiece. All went woll until Mr. L. Bonebrake procured one of the tickets. Bonebrake became involved in some difficulty with Hoffman, and demanded that the latter return him a dollar. This Hoffman refused to do, claiming that Bonebrake still owed for the ticket. Bonebrake thereupon got madder still, and going to the district attorney's office procured the complaint. There was no question abont tbe transfer of a ticket in a raflle from Hoff- man to Bonebrake, and as sections 319 end 321 of the penal code define a rattle as a lottery and make it a misdemeanor to sell, give or in any way transfer to another person any ticket therein, Judge Austin had no alternative but to convict him. I tollman was assessed the nomi- nal sum of $1, and went his way rejoic- ing. 'Ihe docket in Judge Austin's court was crowded yesterday. There being about 44 new cases, the largest number tbat haa greeted him lor a long time. Tbe usual number of drunks and vags were given tbeir alternative. Of the ten Chinamen charged with playing fan tan, four were able to give cash bail of $200, while the remainder were returned to jail until their friends could collect the price. £ Grant, the burglar, was also ar- raigned, and bis examination set for today. Six Chinese were up before Judge Seaman for conducting a dice game. They demanded a jury trial and de- posited $200 cash bail apiece. OLYMPICS VS. GRAYS. A Good Amateur Gain* of Baseball on Snnd ay. A good game of baseball was played Sunday at Athletic park between the Olympics and Grays, the two beet ama- teur clubs in tbe city. These clubs have played some very interesting gamea, and tiie one played Sunday was i full oi brilliant plays and stick work I that would make professionals open their eyes. Thia waa the fourteenth game played Iby these clubs, of which the Olympics 1 have won 13. More pitched for tbe Grays, but was hit hard aud bad poor support iv the field. Tyler took his place in the sev- enth inning, but did no better; tbe j Olympics batted the ball all over the lot. Hart pitched for the Olympics and had good control and excellent sup- port, both benind the bat and in the field. The base-running of tbe Olympics was v feature of tbe game. Van Home, especially, shows himself to be a good sprinter. The Olympics won the game handa down by the ecore of 9to 5. Hart and i l.elande did the battery work for the Olympics, and More, Tyler and Whaling lor the Grays. Umpire, Harlan. A SENSIBLE CHRISTMAS GIFT. A Gift That You Can Look at With Pride aud i'roUt.

A WOMAN'S BURDEN LIFTED. Conclusion of the Hamilton Divorce Case. gome Sensational Happenings Dur- ing Yesterday's Session. .lodge Van Dyke Tells Hamilton What He Thinks or Him-Llved With Her Twenty Years and Theu Slaudora Her. The Hamilton divorce suit wan taken up again yesterday by Judge Van Dyke, and was productive of several sensa- tions. Mrs. Muller, tbe missing witness for tbe defense, was tbe first person yester- day to testify and her evidence caused a flutter of excitement in the crowded court room. As she took the witness stand Hamil- ton approached her and held out his hand, which the lady relused with euch contempt tbat Hamilton turned away in ill-concealed wrath. Mrs. Muller then denied tbat she had ever been subpoenaed to attend as a wit- ness in the case, and persisted in her de- nial, in spite of the attempts of Attorney C. C. Htephens to prove the con- trary. Stephens then injudiciously inquired whether the witness felt any ill will towards Hamilton. "Yes 1 do," snapped out Mrs. Muller, who was plainly in a very bad humor, "be came to me one day and asked me to swear that I bad seen Mrs. Hamilton intoxicated npon various occasions. I told him I would swear to no such a lie, and he became angry nnd locked me in tbe house, co that I couldn't get oat; that's why I have ill will towards him." Hamilton then took tbe stand aud swore emphatically tbat he had never locked Mrs. Mullet up, and never asked her to swear to Mrs. Hamilton's alleged intoxication. This concluded tbe first sensation and was the prelude to another. "Mrs. Bird," called oat the court bailiff. Mrs. Bird was not forthcoming, but Judge Van Dyke remarked to the bailiff: "You will find her in my private cham- bers." When Mrs. Bird materialized, Judge Van Dyke picked up a letter, and hold- ing it out to the witness, sternly asked: "Did you write me this letter, madam ?" Mrs. Bird tremblingly answered that the epistle was written by her, upon which the court, in still more forbidding accents, inquired: "Are you aware, madam, that you are guilty of contempt of court, in addressing me upon the subject of a case at present under my care?" By thia time the thoroughly frightened woman had dissolved into tears and was incapable ot speech, so Judge Van Dyke contented himself with reading her a severe leoture and released her with a warning. The caße was then argued by both sides, Attorney C.C. Stephens, for Ham- ilton, arguing that Mrs. Hamilton Bhould be made to return to ber husband. At tbe conclusion of bis address there waa a dead silence. Everyone in the court room appeared to be holding his breath in order that not a Bound might prevent tbe court's decision from reach- ing their anxious ears. "I wish I could agree with your ideas," said Judge Van Dyke, address- ing Attorney Stephens. "I bate divorce cases, and if I could, would never hear one in my court. I always give the de- fendant every chance to disprove the allegations, and have done co in thia caae, but Mrs, Hamilton has brought corroborative evidence, and in the face of that evidence I can only grant tbe decree"; tben, in sterner tones, be con- tinned: "'The charges of intoxication made by the defendant amount to posi- tive cruelty. They are entirely uncor- roborated, and, to a woman with pride, must be a terrible humiliation. At this point Mrs. Hamilton broke down, and bowing ber head upon the table in front of her, went into a violent fit of weeping. Judge Van Dyke then ordered tbat tbe eight younger children be given into the custody of tbe mother, and tbe two older boys into that of the father. So ended one of the saddest cases ever brought into a divorce court. PERSONAL. Mr. I. Blodgett Anderson oi the Santa Barbara Press is in tbe city, R. J.

The first ferry established in Yuma was by Dr. Lincoln in 1849. Soon after be was joined by the famous and noto- rious John Glanton and his 12 followers from Texrs, who had a contract with the states of Chihnahua and Sonora for Indian scalps at so much apiece, and who never stopped killing though it was a Mexican, provided bis hair would pass for that of an Indian. With tbe ferry they reaped a rich harvest at Yuma. They were soon at outs with the Yuma Indians, whom Glanton accused of rob- bing and murdering paasing immi- grants, crimes committed by himself. A great amount of bullion, gold, silver and jewelry are said to have been buried by Glanton and his party under a meequit tree on tbe bank of the Colorado, just below tbe bridge. Though searched for, it has never been fonnd. Finally Glanton killed a man who was friendly to the Indians, when they attacked and mas- sacred the whole party except three. On the Ilth of July, 1850, and just after the massacre, Don Diego laeger, Ben Hartshorn, Geo. A. Johnson, Dr. Ogden, Dr. Mintnrn, and Messrs. Blake, lull, Moses, Ankrim and Archibald arrived in Yuma, and the ferry was re- established. During the fall of 1860 and spring of 1851 more than 60,000 peo- ple crossed the Colorado on their ferry. To protect the immigration F"t. Yuma was established in December, 1850. Owing to want of supplies it was aban- doned in Jnne, 1851, but re-established in March, 1852, by Majors Stoueman and lleintzleman with six companies of sol- diers. The Indians kept up their war- fare until February, 1853, when they were soundly tbraahed by the troops near the boundary line and 143 of tbem killed. Under the protection of the troops sprung up the town of Colorado City, afterwards Arizona City, now in- cluded within tbe limits of the village oi Yuma, ?Yuma Sentinel. THE HAUNTED CAR. ? Hallway Postal Clerks Rejoice That It Is at Last Laid Off forever. Pomona Times: On the mail route between Los Angeles and El Paso for a long time there hag been a car in tbe postal service that has borne the name of the "haunted car." It is aC. P., No. 5062, and every railway clerk in this part of the couutry knows the car by reputation, and many by the experi- ence they have had in it. The man who tells the story is not prone to fiction, neither is he super- stitious or inflicted with any nervous disease. Therefore we must credit what he says and attribute tbe cauee for the strange things to whatsoever source we choose. He began by saying that as the train stopped at a water tank ot- the route one night, a tramp who wae riding un- derneath this car, was thrown from his seat and horribly mangled and killed. Nothing more was thought of the acci- dent until the next trip over the road, but as the train neared tbe spot where it occured a peculiar moaning was heard, which was continued till this place waß some distance behind. This happened every trip, and it was not long before every postal clerk on the road was fa- miliar with the odd affair. On every trip, too, some accident, of more or less importance occurred, and this continued till the old car was smashed beyond re- pair in the wreck near l.ordsburg, N. M., tbe other day. Many a dreary night has been spent in that car, and many a story told of the strange groans and other peculiar noises, together with various accidents that have happened to that mysterious coach. For a long time not a man in the service took charge of that car without a feeling tbat a strange night waß coming, and he waa never disappointed. It ia not to he wondered at tbat all the clerks rejoice at the "death" of old C. P., No. 5062. In the United Stuteß Courts. In the United States district court yesterday, Judge Roes poetponed until December 21st tbe sentence of James Maxfield, convicted of sending obscene lettera through tbe mail. The case of the United States vs. T. F. Armstiong, charged with having written a threatening letter, was extended un- til thia morning at 10:30 o'clock. Sentence of Unas. Clement, convicted of forging a money order, wae postponed until December 87th, The appeal vi I.oui Kean, a China- man who waa ordered deported by Com- missioner Van Dyke, was argued and submitted. In the circuit court the arguments on the amended complaint in the case of the Southern Pacific railroad ye. Otto Groech et al were heard. Felt a Ilrangbt. Spirit of the Times: Los Angelee en- joys the distinction of buildiug tbe first crematory ever constructed in this state. A citizen died in tbat city a short time since, and his body was conveyed to the aforesaid chamber of death and waß placed in the incinerating department, and finally deposited in the furnace at a temperature of 2000 degrees. The attendants left the adaver there to incinerate for 24 hours. When they returned to see how eucceßtfully tbe work bad been done, they opened tbe furnace doors for that purpose, when to tbeir amazement the patient sat bolt upright in the fur- nace, and with a dignified wave of the band Baid : ''For God's sake close those doors aud keep the draught from off of me."

John Mansfield's Management or the Funds ot an Kstate Entraat- ed to Hia Care. A sensational suit was commenced yesterday in department two of the superior court. The case was tbe bearing of the peti- tion of Lucy Goodepeed for letters of administration and guardianship of the estate and person of Mrs. Annie A. Pratt, insane. The petition also prays for the removal of General John Mansfield, the present guardian of the estate. The petitioner alleges frandulent mis- appropriation of the estate, alleging the amount to be about $40,000. But little evidence was adduced yes- terday, and tbe case was continued nntil this morning. Considerable interest ia being taken in the case, owing to the high social standing of General Mansfield, whose removal from the position of guardian is demanded. Mra. Mansfield is also charged in the petition with having fraudulently ob- tained large sums of money from Mrs. Pratt. A SENSIBLE CHRISTMAS GIFT. A Gift Hint Ton Can Look at With Pride and Profit.

GOLD IN THE NEW DIGGINGS.Excitement at the Goler and

Redrock Camps.

Over a Thousand Dollars' Worth ofMutr/gets Exhibited.

A New Mine Looated at Summit?lHs-covarr of a Quartz Ledge lv

Baesqulte Uanyon -BigNuggets.

Considerable excitement exists aboutthe gold discoveries northeaßt of Mojave,end a large number of people are mak-ing their way to tbe place, which prom-ises to soon become a largely populatedregion.

Yesterday morning at Mojave aHkrald reporter feasted his eyes upona thousand dollars' worth of gold nug-gets which had been brought from thenew ''diggings" in the Qoler and Hed-rock districts, 28 or 30 miles north ofMojave. If the present indicationshold out according to expectation, tbatregion will soon become a second ElDorado. It is now assuming the char-acter of tbe old-time California miningcamp.

The "finds" are now paying from $6to $20 per day to the man, while manyof the older claims are panning outmany times that amount. An is thecase in al) new mining camps, claimsare becoming scurce, but prospectingmore plentiful.

It was with great excitement thatgold was discovered iv the Holer regioneight or nine months ago, and manypeople flocked to the new camp. Aparty of San Bernardino prospectorsstole a march ou many of the gold-seekers. To avoid giving out the objectof their mission the party passedthrough Mojave at night and began workat the mines before it became generallyknown that gold existed in large quan-tities. The Goler mines have been al-most contiuually worked since lastAugust, with good results.

Over $25,000 have boon taken from tbediggings at Holer, Mr. W. C. Wilson ofMojave has bought and sold over $0000worth of nuggets from tbat district.The rest line been shipped direct to tbemint at San Francisco.

One ol the beat paying mines at Uoleris the Bald Kagle No. I, owned by OusIlagg and A Johnson of San Bernar-dino. A shaft of 35 feet has been sunkand over $2000 worth of coarße gold andnuggets taken out. The "drift" ia ex-cellent. Auother shaft ia being sunk.Mr. Johnßon declined to say what wasbeing taken cut each day, but it was tv-

ident that be and nis partner have abonanza.

The Benson Brothers' claim is pan-ning out well. It ia shallow digging,from ti to 10 feet. A nugget from thisclaim in the possession of Mr. W. C.Wilaon at Mojave weighs $280; another$145 and another $00.50. Tbe largerone waa picked up in Nugget gulch,Charles Sherman, a newspaper manwho went into the camp Sunday, pur-chased a large nugget for $147. Fromthe looks of things auch finds are ol lie-quent occurrence.

The Queen mine at Goler, owned byCharles Meginson and John Runberg, ispaying largely. A snult hae been sunk108 feet, with flattering prospects,

Three bottles of fine gold and nuggetswere exhibited to the reporter by Mr.VrvllOTl. The yellow etuH' in I*II IsgklGoler and amounted to ovor $400. Be-side the claims mentioned, numerousothers are being worked successfully.

A large number of certificates fromthe San Francisco mint show the goldto psy $17.77 net per ounce, which isconsidered big money.

The Redrock district is turning outconsiderable gold. A miner who hasbeen working the district since it wasopened six weeks ago, claims that nolesß than an ounce ol gold ia taken outby each man. Three men took out 15ounceß in one duy, hut this was tholuckiest day encountered. The goldhere is coarse, si me uf the uuggetsweighing ns high as $8 and $10. Thesevaluable chunks vi gold are growingtcarcer an the days wear on, but pay dirtis found all tha time. Dry washera arelargely ueed in taking the gold out.Bedrock ia a very flourishing camp, andis on tbe road to Globe aud the Summitdistrict.

The Summit claims were located onlyfour or five days ago and are situated onthe elevation dividing the Mojavecountry from the region opening intoDeath valley. The south end of thefamous valley, of death can be seenfrom tbe last discovered diggings calledSummit.

The new find was located by Mr. VanSlack and three other proapectors fromSa-n Bernardino. The locators sold aciaim to sink a shaft to bed-rock. The proapcci.t are decidedlyflattering, aa pay dirt waa found at theoutset.

W. E. Robinson, an old Los Angelfio,has a claim at Summit which be willwork for all it is wortb. He left campon Sunday for San Francisco to get im-plements, and willreturn soon. Summitis 65 miles from Marjorie and about 30miles from Redrock.

While at Camp Sunday three boyadrove from another location and exhib-ited come rich dirt, but refused to givethe location. In fact, the whole countryiibeing prospected and more orießßgoldfonnd.

Mr. Robinson ia of the opinion thatthe value of tbe Ooler and Redrock dis-tricts ia limited, while be expresses greatconfidence in the newly discovered re-gion where hiß claim ia located. Tbiadiversion of opinion is only typical of thereal miner and cannot be of great valueto the proepector in times of mining ex-citement.

Six mlleß west of So mmit there ia an oldabandoned quartz mine. More than '.'5yeara ago a New York party of proepec-tora went into the El Paso district andbegan mining, but finally gave it up.The deierted mine is a realistic remin-der of the old-time mining booniß. ASan Jose party of prospeetora are nowengaged in the old deserted EI Paso dis-trict in trying to develop water. Itiathought that good water can be secured.Lack of water ia a drawback to the newSummit diggings. The gold found intheae parte is very tine, unlike thattaken from Ooler and Redrock. Severalwaaheß at Summit appeared to be exten-sive.

A San Bernardino prospector claimßthat he has discovered anriferouß rockii laying quantities in Meaginte canon,seven mileß from Kane springs, on theroad to Goler and beyond Redrock. Thequartz lead ia of recent diecovery. Itistbe first ledge to be found that presentsbright prospects. Quartz mining haeaa yet been alinoßt unheard ul in thosegold fields.

In tha Ooler district miners who pre-

fer it are getting $2,50 per day andboard. None but good miners are em-ployed. Meals are 35 centa in this camp ;other necessaries in proportion.

The prospectors are all supplied withtheir own outfits, both as to provisionsand bedding. The weather up there iscool. Feed for horses, such as grain, isscarce, while the burros do not sufferowing to tbeir peculiar taste for vegeta-tion that the horse cannot touch.

In going to Summit the prospectorssecure water from Mesquite springs,where the water is unusually good.Water can also be secured at the laststation on the road to the borax worksin Death valley.

The Bedrock district, as before pub-lished in the Hkkalo, is about 27 mileßfrom Mojave. The road is good the en-tire distance. When the forks of theroad is reached, this side of Redrock,the prospector going to Goler takes theroad leading to tbe north. The otherroad leads into Redrock csflon, wherethere is a mining camp of no small di-mensions. In fact all the region is be-ginning to assume characteristics ofearly mining days when gold was fonndeasily and spent lavishly. Men andteams are constantly going in and ont ofthe new gold fields.

POLICE COURT CASES.Philip Hoffman Will Hereafter Stay

With Butchering.

Fhilip Hoffman, a Temple-streetbutcher, was found guilty yesterday ofselling lottery tickets, and received thelight fine of $1 from Judge Austin, Itappeard that Hoffman owned a horse forwhich he had no use and could And noready sale. Accordingly he concludedto dispose of the horse by means of arclile. The tickets sold for $1 apiece.Allwent woll until Mr. L. Bonebrakeprocured one of the tickets. Bonebrakebecame involved in some difficulty withHoffman, and demanded that the latterreturn him a dollar. This Hoffmanrefused to do, claiming that Bonebrakestill owed for the ticket. Bonebrakethereupon got madder still, and goingto the district attorney's office procuredthe complaint.

There was no question abont tbetransfer of a ticket in a raflle from Hoff-man to Bonebrake, and as sections 319end 321 of the penal code define a rattleas a lottery and make it a misdemeanorto sell, give or in any way transfer toanother person any ticket therein, JudgeAustin had no alternative but to convicthim. I tollman was assessed the nomi-nal sum of $1, and went his way rejoic-ing.

'Ihe docket in Judge Austin's courtwas crowded yesterday. There beingabout 44 new cases, the largest numbertbat haa greeted him lor a long time.

Tbe usual number of drunks and vagswere given tbeir alternative.

Of the ten Chinamen charged withplaying fan tan, four were able to givecash bail of $200, while the remainderwere returned to jail until their friendscould collect the price.£ Grant, the burglar, was also ar-raigned, and bis examination set fortoday.

Six Chinese were up before JudgeSeaman for conducting a dice game.They demanded a jury trial and de-posited $200 cash bail apiece.

A WOMAN'S BURDEN LIFTED.Conclusion of the Hamilton

Divorce Case.

gome Sensational Happenings Dur-ing Yesterday's Session.

.lodge Van Dyke Tells Hamilton WhatHe Thinks or Him-Llved With

Her Twenty Years andTheu Slaudora Her.

The Hamilton divorce suit wan takenup again yesterday by Judge Van Dyke,and was productive of several sensa-tions.

Mrs. Muller, tbe missing witness fortbe defense, was tbe first person yester-day to testify and her evidence caused aflutter of excitement in the crowdedcourt room.

As she took the witness stand Hamil-ton approached her and held out hishand, which the lady relused with euchcontempt tbat Hamilton turned away inill-concealed wrath.

Mrs. Muller then denied tbat she hadever been subpoenaed to attend as a wit-ness in the case, and persisted in her de-nial, in spite of the attempts of AttorneyC. C. Htephens to prove the con-trary. Stephens then injudiciouslyinquired whether the witness felt anyill will towards Hamilton.

"Yes 1 do," snapped out Mrs. Muller,who was plainly in a very bad humor,"be came to me one day and asked meto swear that Ibad seen Mrs. Hamiltonintoxicated npon various occasions. Itold him Iwould swear to no such a lie,and he became angry nnd locked me intbe house, co that I couldn't get oat;that's why I have ill will towards him."

Hamilton then took tbe stand audswore emphatically tbat he had neverlocked Mrs. Mullet up, and never askedher to swear to Mrs. Hamilton's allegedintoxication.

This concluded tbe first sensation andwas the prelude to another.

"Mrs. Bird," called oat the courtbailiff.

Mrs. Bird was not forthcoming, butJudge Van Dyke remarked to the bailiff:"You will find her in my private cham-bers."

When Mrs. Bird materialized, JudgeVan Dyke picked up a letter, and hold-ing it out to the witness, sternly asked:"Did you write me this letter, madam ?"

Mrs. Bird tremblingly answered thatthe epistle was written by her, uponwhich the court, in still more forbiddingaccents, inquired: "Are you aware,madam, that you are guilty of contemptof court, in addressing me upon thesubject of a case at present under mycare?"

By thia time the thoroughly frightenedwoman had dissolved into tears and wasincapable ot speech, so Judge Van Dykecontented himself with reading her asevere leoture and released her with awarning.

The caße was then argued by bothsides, Attorney C.C. Stephens, for Ham-ilton,arguing that Mrs. Hamilton Bhouldbe made to return to ber husband.

At tbe conclusion of bis address therewaa a dead silence. Everyone in thecourt room appeared to be holding hisbreath in order that not a Bound mightprevent tbe court's decision from reach-ing their anxious ears.

"I wish I could agree with yourideas," said Judge Van Dyke, address-ing Attorney Stephens. "Ibate divorcecases, and if I could, would never hearone in my court. Ialways give the de-fendant every chance to disprove theallegations, and have done co in thiacaae, but Mrs, Hamilton has broughtcorroborative evidence, and in the faceof that evidence I can only grant tbedecree"; tben, in sterner tones, be con-tinned: "'The charges of intoxicationmade by the defendant amount to posi-tive cruelty. They are entirely uncor-roborated, and, to a woman with pride,must be a terrible humiliation.

At this point Mrs. Hamilton brokedown, and bowing ber head upon thetable in front of her, went into a violentfit of weeping.

Judge Van Dyke then ordered tbattbe eight younger children be given intothe custody of tbe mother, and tbe twoolder boys into that of the father.

So ended one of the saddest cases everbrought into a divorce court.

A MEMORABLE FERRY.The History or tha Kiver Crossing at

Yuma.The first ferry established in Yuma

was by Dr. Lincoln in 1849. Soon afterbe was joined by the famous and noto-rious John Glanton and his 12followersfrom Texrs, who had a contract withthe states of Chihnahua and Sonora forIndian scalps at so much apiece, andwho never stopped killing though it wasa Mexican, provided bis hair would passfor that of an Indian. With tbe ferrythey reaped a rich harvest at Yuma.They were soon at outs with the YumaIndians, whom Glanton accused of rob-bing and murdering paasing immi-grants, crimes committed by himself.A great amount of bullion, gold, silverand jewelry are said to havebeen buried by Glanton and hisparty under a meequit tree on tbebank of the Colorado, just below tbebridge. Though searched for, it hasnever been fonnd. Finally Glantonkilled a man who was friendly to theIndians, when they attacked and mas-sacred the whole party except three.On the Ilth of July, 1850, and justafter the massacre, Don Diego laeger,Ben Hartshorn, Geo. A. Johnson, Dr.Ogden, Dr. Mintnrn, and Messrs. Blake,lull, Moses, Ankrim and Archibaldarrived in Yuma, and the ferry was re-established. During the fall of 1860and spring of 1851 more than 60,000 peo-ple crossed the Colorado on their ferry.To protect the immigration F"t. Yumawas established in December, 1850.Owing to want of supplies it was aban-doned in Jnne, 1851, but re-establishedin March, 1852, by Majors Stoueman andlleintzleman with six companies of sol-diers. The Indians kept up their war-fare until February, 1853, when theywere soundly tbraahed by the troopsnear the boundary line and 143 of tbemkilled. Under the protection of thetroops sprung up the town of ColoradoCity, afterwards Arizona City, now in-cluded within tbe limits of the village oiYuma, ?Yuma Sentinel.

THE HAUNTED CAR.?

Hallway Postal Clerks Rejoice That ItIsat Last Laid Off forever.

Pomona Times: On the mail routebetween Los Angeles and El Paso for along time there hag been a car in tbepostal service that has borne the nameof the "haunted car." It is aC. P., No.5062, and every railway clerk in thispart of the couutry knows the car byreputation, and many by the experi-ence they have had in it.

The man who tells the story is notprone to fiction, neither is he super-stitious or inflicted with any nervousdisease. Therefore we must creditwhat he says and attribute tbe cauee forthe strange things to whatsoever sourcewe choose.

He began by saying that as the trainstopped at a water tank ot- the routeone night, a tramp who wae riding un-derneath this car, was thrown from hisseat and horribly mangled and killed.Nothing more was thought of the acci-dent until the next trip over the road,but as the train neared tbe spot whereit occured a peculiar moaning was heard,which was continued tillthis place waßsome distance behind. This happenedevery trip, and it was not long beforeevery postal clerk on the road was fa-miliar with the odd affair. On everytrip, too, some accident, of more or lessimportance occurred, and thiscontinuedtill the old car was smashed beyond re-pair in the wreck near l.ordsburg, N.M., tbe other day.

Many a dreary night has been spent inthat car, and many a story told of thestrange groans and other peculiar noises,together with various accidents thathave happened to that mysterious coach.For a long time not a man in the servicetook charge of that car without a feelingtbat a strange night waß coming, and hewaa never disappointed.

It ia not to he wondered at tbat all theclerks rejoice at the "death" of old C.P., No. 5062.

In the United Stuteß Courts.

In the United States district courtyesterday, Judge Roes poetponed untilDecember 21st tbe sentence of JamesMaxfield, convicted of sending obscenelettera through tbe mail.

The case of the United States vs. T. F.Armstiong, charged with having writtena threatening letter, was extended un-til thia morning at 10:30 o'clock.

Sentence of Unas. Clement, convictedof forging a money order, wae postponeduntil December 87th,

The appeal vi I.oui Kean, a China-man who waa ordered deported by Com-missioner Van Dyke, was argued andsubmitted.

A sensational suit was commencedyesterday in department two of thesuperior court.

The case was tbe bearing of the peti-tion of Lucy Goodepeed for letters ofadministration and guardianship of theestate and person of Mrs. Annie A.Pratt, insane.

The petition also prays for the removalof General John Mansfield, the presentguardian of the estate.

The petitioner alleges frandulent mis-appropriation of the estate, alleging theamount to be about $40,000.

But little evidence was adduced yes-terday, and tbe case was continued nntilthis morning.

Considerable interest ia being takenin the case, owing to the high socialstanding of General Mansfield, whoseremoval from the position of guardianis demanded.
