Coroner KcIIork xvns called up
Koruc river at the old Tucker place
to recover tho body of the Into Geo.
Connors, -who vn3 drowned May 2S
while encased in driving logs on the
river ivitli a crow of men for the
Horuo River Electric company for
their Tolo saw mill. The body was
found Monday ovemug' by membons
of the crew about. a milo below where
Tucker mot his death under a jam
of Iocs which held firmly under sev
eral feet of water.
Tho body was recovered Tuesday
afternoon with considerable difficul
ty by tho crow and tho coroner. Tho
jam of Iocs had formed on some
rocks in the middlo of a vory swift
nnd dangerous rapids, and in remov
ing tho logs off tho body and taking
tho body ashore it was necessary to
work waist deep in tho swift current.
Tho body was found to bo in n
fair state of preservation for tho
length of time it had been in the wa
ter on account of the coldness of
the water and not beintr exposed to
the air.
Tho remains were removed by the
coroner to Gold Hill for interment at
tho expene of the county, as ho was
without means and the coroner was
not able to locate any of his rela
tives. The deceased was a native of Can
ada and was about 25 years old. No
inquest was held upon the body, as
several witnesses were present and
tho death was purely accidental.

SACRAMENTO, Juno 10 Busi
ness was good at the state iuscotnry
during tho month of May. Approxi
mately 12,000,000 benoficial insects
wore distributed freo to tho crop pro
ducers of California during that pe
riod. This is an average of nearly
500,000 insects for each working day
of tho month, and is inndicHtivo of
the capacity of that institution when
its resources aro fully developed.
Tho output of comys fuscu. tho
parasite on tho brown apricot calo,
wn unprecedented and exceeded in
muubors Hint of auv season iu tho
I history of tho state commission ol
'horticulture'. More than l,200 col
onies, containing n total of 100,000
of these nctivo litte flies, wore bred
out, collected, packed and distributed
io infected orchards during May.
This ereut increase in numbers is
in a measure duo to improved meth
ods of handling the material, devised
and put iu operation for the first
time during the past month, and
which not alone doubled the collect
ing facilities but eliminated tho no
sibility of any foreign material going
out wth tho colonics.
Another feature connected with the
distribution of comys fuscn was in
troduced this season. The develop
ment of insect life varies with each
locality. To be successfully estab
lished, parasites must be introduced
during the time when the particular
insect thnt they attack is iu th con
dition best suited to their needs.
With a knowledge of these facts, a
scries of seudiugs covering a period
of four weeks was made to each ap
plicant in the hoie thnt the parasites
in at least one of the series would be
liberated at the most opportune time
for success iu each infested locality.
NO REST FOR THE
WEARY WILLIE
Night Policeman Kiucaid found n
bunch of hoboes camped along the
railroad track inside the city limits
Friday morning nnd stirred them out
before their usual hour of arising.
"This town is to the bad," growled,
one tourist, as ho hiked down tho,
trnck. "If n fellow wants to stay
up all night the bulls run him in. If,
he Roe to sleep they make him got

Wednesday evening tho main busi
ness attended to was tho passing of
tho water ordltr.nce. Tho mattor of
water rates caused much discussion
ns thoro was difference in opinion In
as to the rates. It was finally dccldod
that $1.25 per month would bo a Just

Irrigating gardens and lawns will bo
charged for at extra rates, and hotels,
harbor shops, largo boarding houses,
etc., will be taxed under special
rules.
Mrs. N. W. Jones of Cardell, Oltla.,

evonlng to make an extondod visit to

Jones is S3 years of ago and has mndo

has a nophow, Mr. Alex Loviall, liv

false accusation with criminal libel.
Mr. Alexander wns arrested imme

Owing to the prominence of the
parties involved, the nrrost hns
caused n sensation, and its outcome
will bo watched with interest. Al-.
though, the paper publishing tho ad
