McKAY, Marysville, $1000; John PEARDON, Sr., > Smartsville, $1000; M.L. McKAY, Marysville, $2,000; Charles METTEER, > Marysville, $10. The land to be worked is an old quartz mine in the Sand > Hills group near Smartsville. The claim was first located by LANDIS > Brothers, of Wheatland, fifteen years ago, and is yet showing encouraging > prospects. > > BUTTE LAND CONTEST > MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), June 28 - The Palace Mine, in Butte County, is the > bone of contention in the Marysville Land Office this week, the officials > having been called upon to decide as to whether the land is mineral in > character or best filed for timber and agricultural purposes. The property > is owned by Carl SLOCUM, who holds that it is decidedly of mineral > character, having been worked as a mine many years. The COLMAN brothers, > it > is alleged, have jumped the claim, and are now endeavoring to prove the > timber and agricultural character of the land, having first filed on it as > a > homestead.

The girl, who is only 17 years old, seemed to have no > friends > among the witnesses. The testimony given went to show that she had been > badly handled by Maquira, who stabbed her in the back and bruised her, and > tore her clothes to shreds. After she escaped from him the girl secured a > 22-caliber rifle and killed Maquira. She does not seem to realize the > seriousness of her situation in the least, and evidently believes she did > just right. Maquira had a very bad name, and the general sentiment is that > he deserved what he got. > > CAPTURE INSANE MAN > PLACERVILLE (El Dorado Co.), June 28 - C.W. CHRISTIANSON, who has been a > resident of Rose Springs for about a year and a half, was brought into > town > Monday night by the Sheriff and locked up on a charge of being insane. > About 11 o'clock that night the officers were aroused and informed that a > man was walking up and down the road near Rose Springs, howling and > shouting.

He had written a letter which he later tore up, the > fragments of which upon being put together indicated that he was losing > his > mind and was conscious of the fact. The mental infirmity, it is thought, > followed his recent charge of a relative who was insane and who made a > lasting impression upon him. He was otherwise in good health, and had no > reason other than financial embarrassment of a minor character, for > suicide. > He was not a man who used intoxicants and was of a cheerful nature, > consequently his sudden impulse is incomprehensible to his friends, though > the relatives were aware that he was nervously afflicted. > Patterson was a much respected citizen of Red Bluff before coming to this > city, where he was for several years Superintendent of Streets.
