Schmltz Acquitted
Eugene Schmitz. former mavor ofj
San Francisco, who was indicted in
Mav 1907. on a charge of bribing super
visors in the so-called "gas cases."
was set free in San Francisco March
15 bv a jurv in the Superior Court, act
ing under instruction from Judge Law
lor. The court held that no evidence
connecting the defendant with the
crime of bribery had been introduced
at the trial and that, had the jurv dig
regarded his instructions and returned
a verdict of guilty, he would have been
forced to set aside such a verdict under
the law as intertreted by tr.e State
Suoreme Court, even if Ruef had testi
fied at the trial.
Immediately after the proceeding.
Judge Lawlor entered an order for
Ruef's return to San Quintin to finish
his 14 vear term. The ending of the
Schmitz trial is taken in San Francisco
as the last ol the so-called "graft
cases."

Drehensive metnod of instruction. Mrs.

oay ana rriaav oi mis week to organ

tinued work for the preoent on the well
on the ON'eill and Dunlap ranch west
of town. The well was driven to a
depth of 380 feet and auite a flow was
obtained. It is the opinion of Mr. EJe

property and in the near future he will
sink the well to a greater depth in or
der ti secure better results.
Our good friend Jim Barry savs he

White Marries Squaw
Alturas Flaindealer: In the early
settlement of the west marriages be
tween the white men and Indian womet.
were of frequent occurence. Most of
them, however, were mere marriages
de convenience, as the Frenchmen
would sav. and the white man was
usually designated as a "sauaw man."
and did not hold a verv high position in
fashionable society. Of late, however,
this mating of the white and the cop
per colored races, like angles visits,
have been few and far between.
It was somewhat of surprise, there
fore, when last Sunday Justice Arm
strong was called upon to unite George
Sherell. a white man. and Blind Jenny,
a damsel of the Tit Uiver tribe. We
fear it will be but another case of
"The Modoc maid and the Boston
man."
