BODY WAS THAT OF A WOMAN Remains Found Half-Buried In A Sandbar, With No Clue To Solve Mystery As To Who The Woman Was KENNETT (Shasta Co.), June 30 - Coroner BASSETT has returned from four miles up the river, where he held an inquest on the human body found Wednesday half-buried in a sandbar on the east side of the stream. People here had assumed that the badly decomposed body was that of a man, possible George MILLER, who is believed to have perished while on a hunting and fishing trip four months ago. But the Coroner found unmistakable evidence that the remains were those of a woman, whether white or Indian he could not tell. The flesh was all gone, but the hair was long. On the feet were No. 5 shoes of the style for women, and all the undergarments were those of a woman. Other articles of feminine use pointed to the unmistakable fact that the body was that of a woman. There was nothing to reveal the identity. Owing to the great inconvenience of conveying a coffin over the rocky points to the place where the body was found, the Coroner wrapped the bones in a blanket and buried them on the river bank near by. The mystery of who the woman was will never be solved, in all probability. Wheatland Paper Sold WHEATLAND (Yuba Co.), June 30 - R.N. MURPHY, editor of the Four Corners, has sold the paper to J.L.

COULD NOT GET A FULL JURY City Of Yreka Exhausted In Trying To Secure Twelve Men To Try Citizen On Misdemeanor Charge. YREKA (Siskiyou Co.), June 30 - There is a case before Judge BEARD of the Superior Court which is causing quite a little interest in this city and county. During the month of February, 1906, Joseph F. WETZEL was arrested for a misdemeanor under the city ordinances. He demanded a jury trial. The City Recorder issued four venires to fill a jury. After exhausting the city there were only six jurymen accepted. He then asked the defendant if he was willing to proceed with the six jurymen accepted. The defendant, however, would not accept a jury under twelve. The Recorder, finding that no more jurymen could be obtained and that the defendant would only accept a full jury of twelve, refused to dismiss the case and ruled that he would try the case without a jury, which he proceeded to do. He found the defendant guilty and fined him $75 with the alternative of spending seventy-five days in jail. The defendant took an appeal to the Superior Court, which came up before Judge BEARD. The defendant's counsel agreed that the case should be sent back to the Recorder's Court for trial. After hearing both sides of the case, Judge BEARD ruled that the defendant was entitled to a jury trial but that the case should be tried before him and should not be sent back to the Recorder's Court. The time for trial will be set Monday. This case has been the talk of Siskiyou County and City of Yreka for some time and will bring up many questions and points of law.

Two Refugee Girls Were Stranded WOODLAND (Yolo Co.), June 30 - Two young Swedish girls, refugees from San Francisco, arrived in this city Thursday on their way to Yuba City.
