Hanford Journal Hanford, Kings Co., California Tuesday, 9 JULY 1895 ************************************ BIRTH -- CLEVELAND -- at Buzzard's Bay, Mass., July 7, 1895, to the wife of President Grover CLEVELAND, a daughter. BIRTH -- CHARLES -- In Lemoore, July 1, 1895, to the wife of W.B. CHARLES, a son. [from Local Paragraphs column] -- A baby boy arrived at the home of Mr. HAGEMAN, of Excelsior, a few days ago. DEATH -- KERAN -- At the residence of her parents, near Hanford, on Sunday forenoon, July 7th, Miss Maud KERAN, aged 20 years. [The death of Miss KERAN was a shock to her family and friends. She had been suffering with a light attack of fever for about 10 days, but was able to be up and about the house. On Saturday forenoon she was taken with convulsions, and on Sunday forenoon she died of congestion of the brain. The funeral took place at the Christian Church at 2:30 p.m. yesterday and there was a very large attendance. Rev. J. Lee BLACK delivered the funeral discourse. The remains were interred in the Grangeville cemetery.] DEATH -- COON -- In Hanford, July 7, 1895, David COON, aged 64 years. [Deceased had resided in Hanford but a few weeks, and came here from San Francisco for the benefit of his health, being afflicted with dropsy. He was known as Major COON to all his friends, and he was a veteran of the civil war. The funeral took place yesterday forenoon, under the auspices of McPherson Post, G.A.R. Major COON leaves a wife and 2 children, besides other relatives and friends here to mourn his loss. He was an uncle of R.E. and Grant STARKWEATHER of this city.] [see next issue] [from Grangeville column] -- Those who remember Dr. MARKS will be truly sorry to hear of his death, which occurred about the 15th of June at his home in Toronto, Canada. He came to California 4 years ago and opened an office in Armona and had soon quite a practice. He took an active part in young people's meetings and made many friends. He returned home some 2 years ago and was married, but consumption, that dread foe that has claimed so many, took hold of him, with the above result. His widow has the sympathy of all his friends here. ------------------------------------------------------- KEEPS A HOUSE OF ILL SHAPE -- The case of the People vs. Elsie THOMAS, defendant accused of keeping a house of ill-fame in this city, has been in progress before a jury today in Justice Fassett's court. The prosecution has introduced the testimony of several officers and a former female inmate as to the character of the house, which is notorious. The house has been conducted in a brazen way for years and the inmates are constantly on parade on the leading thoroughfares of the city, and all good citizens hope for a conviction. It is hard to see how any other verdict than that of guilty can be rendered. TROUBLE BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE -- Mrs. MAPLES, whose husband is employed on the DISS ranch, applied to Sheriff Buckner yesterday afternoon for the arrest of her husband for kidnapping their child. The couple had had some domestic trouble and the wife was going away on the evening train. MAPLES took their boy away from her and took him out to his (MAPLES') ranch, and left the child with MAPLES' uncle. The Sheriff could not arrest MAPLES for kidnapping the child, so Mrs. MAPLES swore to a warrant against her husband for a misdemeanor in failing to provide for the child. MAPLES was arrested last night at the DISS ranch and brought to Hanford where he secured bonds and was released from custody. ------------------------------------------------------ LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -Jack McLAUGHLIN has gone to Tulare to work on the PAIGE thresher. -Mrs. Harry BERSTEIN has been employed to teach the Excelsior school next term. -Lee SMITH, of Hollister, formerly of this city, is suffering from a dislocation of the right shoulder. He was jumping from a wagon, when his foot caught in a rope and he fell heavily to the ground. -John HOWARD, of the 'Journal' force, and his brother George, spent the 4th in San Francisco. They returned to Hanford last night. They report cold weather at the Bay and that it rained on the 4th, spoiling the fireworks. -G. DeGEORGI spent several days in Hanford last week and the 4th at Lemoore. He is now a resident of Kern City (Sumner). -F.J. WALKER returned last Friday evening from a visit to his wife at the sanitarium at Livermore. He found her condition much improved. HANFORD LODGE, No. 264, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, had its officers installed lst Saturday evening by Dr. FURTNEY of Dinuba, D.D.G.M., as follows: A.W. LAQUAY, A.P.G. F.M. FRAZER, N.G. E.R. HEALEY, V.G. W.R. McQUIDDY, Rec. Sec. Karl FLODEN, Per. Sec. Dr. J.A. MOORE, Treas. Frank PEACOCK, Con. Minor DOSS, War. Justin JACOBS, R.S.N.G. Cosmor B. CLARK, L.S.N.G. J.S. ARTIST, Chap. Howard McGINNIS, R.S.V.G. E.E. BUSH, L.S.V.G. James CAMP, R.S.S. O.M. NELSON, L.S.S. J.G. BURGESS, I.G. M.P. MORSE, O.G. Thos. F. DILLON, D.A. WOODWARD and F.V. DEWEY, Trustees HERSHEL COLYAR is down from Humboldt county and will work here this summer. His father, who formerly resided at Goshen and in Hanford, he reports as being well. The health of his brother Charley has materially improved. JEAN GAUDIN was arrested last Saturday on a charge of stealing $15 in money from Kirk CLARK, while the latter was intoxicated and in SPINKS' saloon on the previous Monday. GAUDIN had charge of the lunch counter in said saloon. His trial has been set by Justice Fassett to take place next Friday at 9 a.m. JOSEPH SPIER of Visalia and James A. HILL of Hanford, who are camped on the headwaters of White River, met with an accident on the 4th. While loading cartridges, a cap exploded and set fire to an open can of powder. The powder exploded and Mr. SPIER lost his beard and eyebrows by the flames, and his left hand was badly lacerated, part of 1 finger and a thumb being blown off. Mr. HILL was only slightly burned. TOM MORGAN, a youth 14 years of age and who is a son of Mr. MORGAN of Excelsior, is in the county jail charged with petty larceny. Last Friday, after having arrived in Hanford, he stated, on the breakbeam of a freight train from Lemoore, he went to BOX's grocery store, south of the track. After talking to the boy a few moments Mr. BOX went to the barn in the rear of the store to help load some hay. The boy went with him, but soon went back to the store. Mr. BOX was suspicious and followed the boy and caught him appropriating a lot of chewing gum which was in a box on the front porch. He had also taken 2 packages of cheroots while Mr. BOX was in the store, and there were found on him, all except 1 cherrot which MORGAN had given to a boy whom Mr. BOX was assisting to load the hay. Young MORGAN is evidently a good subject for the reform school. A HORSE DRIVEN by Mrs. George MURRAY and Mrs. ANDREWS of Armona, became frightened, from some unknown cause, as the ladies were driving by the Wendling Lumber Co.'s yard, on their way home yesterday forenoon. The animal wheeled quickly about and tipped the 2 women out. Mrs. MURRAY had a wrist sprained and 1 eye injured. Otherwise the ladies escaped from injury. The horse ran through the lumber yard and across to the Hotel Artesia, where some one turned him into the park fence. Neither the horse nor the buggy was injured in the least. THE PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION of Ben BARLOW, a young man who was charged with robbing a Portuguese sheep herder at Excelsior some 2 weeks ago, was held before Justice Fassett last Friday. The testimony relied on by the prosecution to hold and convict the prisoner was that of the man who was robbed, but he had an entirely different story to tell on the witness stand from what he had told the District Attorney when the arrest was made. Believing that a conviction could not be secured, District Attorney SHORT moved to dismiss the case, and it was so ordered by the court. HENRY BOICE left Hanford last Saturday for Vallejo, taking with him 3 of the horses owned by him and his brother John. There were the stallion colt Lucerne, the mare Belle Packer and the little pacer McGinty. Mr. BOICE expects to make the circuit of the State tracks, beginning at Vallejo on Aug. 6th, thence going to Napa, Petaluma, Woodland, etc., and winding up at the Bay District track in San Francisco. ------------------------------------------------------ GRANGEVILLE -- -Mr. Henry TRAUT is quite [ill?] with heart disease. He is stopping at the residence of his deceased sister, Mrs. BARKER. -Mr. N. AGEE left on Wednesday for Merced, to spend the 4th with his cousin, Charles AGEE. He will go on to S.F. before returning home. -Julius LEVY, who has been sick with fever, is better. His uncle, Mr. C. JACOB, come down from San Francisco to look after him, and they returned home together Sunday night. ARMONA -- -Walter E. STEVES has canceled his engagements for threshing for the season on account of the weakness of the boiler to his engine. -Donald WEIR, the baggage man, has been sent to Goshen, where he will receive higher wages. Wm. MATHEWSON, formerly of Hanford, takes his place at Armona. -R.L.

Kathy, You are descended from John Snoddy Beach LONG (1852-1918)? How interesting! I do not have the descendancy of his six children, perhaps you can fill me in. John LONG's younger brother was George Washington LONG (1860-1925). George married Mary Ellen DAVIS (1859-1940). One of their children was Winifred Lenore LONG (1894-1968). Winifred married John Henry HAUB (1888-1958). John was the son of Frederick H. HAUB (1853-1940) and Sarah Margaret OWENS (1859-1952). Sarah's older sister was Nancy Tabitha OWENS (1857-1960 - yes, age 103). Nancy married James Buchanan BROWN (1855-1925). James's youngest sister, Kittie Lavilla BROWN (1881-1936) was my maternal grandmother. Is that sufficiently convoluted?

The complaint was sworn to by Anna E. HOUGHTON, a resident of Elsie THOMAS' house of prostitution in this city. It appears from the evidence in the case that HAYES, who was formerly a hackman at Fresno, has been in Hanford several months and had his abode for a month or more in the house above mentioned. He worked part of the time since he came here. There had been several rows recently at the house referred to, on his account, and 2 of the inmates of the house desired to be rid of him and hence 1 of them swore to the complaint, while the other 2 desired to shield him. All of the women were in court last Thursday during the time the trial was going on. HAYES demanded a jury trial and one was secured during the forenoon. District Attorney SHORT, assisted by Rufus ABBOTT, prosecuted the case, and Charley TALBOT conducted the defense. The jury deliberated but a short time and then brought in a verdict of guilty. One of the hardest facts to prove in the trial of such cases as these is the character of such places as Elsie THOMAS', as the inmates almost always refuse to give evidence that will criminate themselves, but in this case 2 of the women swore to the character of the house referred to. On Friday afternoon HAYES was arraigned for sentence. Justice Randall gave the young man a lecture on the evil of his ways and gave him good advice about his future conduct, and said that, considering he was a young man, etc., he would give him a light sentence. The Justice gave HAYES 25 days in the county jail. His attorney, Charley TALBOT, then tried to secure his release on a writ of habeas corpus, alleging that the complaint on which he was arrested was illegal. Judge Jacobs refused to release HAYES and he is now serving out his sentence. 3 of the women in Elsie THOMAS' house were arrested on Friday charged with living in a house of ill fame. The 3 were the proprietress, Elsie THOMAS, and Emma CLARK and Georgie McGUIRE, inmates. The CLARK and McGUIRE women were each fined $10 by Justice Randall Saturday afternoon, which they paid and were released from custody. Elsie THOMAS' trial comes up tomorrow. The other inmate of the house, Nellie WILSON, left on the train early on Saturday, for Fresno, to avoid arrest, and the complaining witness had previously skipped. ----------------------------------------------------- 2 EXPLOSIONS FROM SMUT -- Occur Within 1 Hour on the HURLBUT Thresher at Armona -- On Thursday afternoon, while M.R. HURLBUT's thresher was at work on a stack of wheat on the Pacific Improvement Co.'s land about a mile east of Armona, the smut in the wheat caused an explosion in the separator, behind the cylinder. The separator tender was standing at his usual place on top of the machine. A board was blown off in front of him, almost under his feet, and flames shot up high in the air before him. All hands went to work with a will and put out the flames. For fear of another accident of like nature 2 large barrels full of water were left beside the machine. Mr. HURLBUT hitched up his rig and had just started for Hanford. He had gone but a short distance when another explosion occurred. This was more serious than the 1st, as the flames were blown entirely through the machine, coming out at the ends. The barrels of water being immediately at hand, and the prompt and hard work done by the man employed on the machine, saved the thresher and the stack near which it was standing. Luckily the machine was not injured in the least, the flames were put out so promptly, and Mr. HURLBUT informed the foreman of the P.I. Co., J.S. ARTIST, that he would not work longer on the smutty wheat unless the P.I. would agree to pay for the machine in case it burned. This Mr. ARTIST could not do and Mr. HURLBUT moved the machine over on to the company's barley stack at once and began work thereon. Mr. HURLBUT is one of the oldest threshing machine men in Kings county, but this is the 1st explosion of any of his machines have ever had from smut in wheat. He says he has always been skeptical that smut could cause an explosion, but he doubts it no longer, as he has had actual experience that smut is an explosive. ------------------------------------------------------- BADLY SMASHED -- A Young Brakebeam Tourist Meets Terrible, Perhaps Fatal, Injuries -- The 3rd accident on the railroad in the city limits of Hanford, within a few weeks, occurred last Thursday. John ZOROBINK, a young man 19 years of age, was riding a brake-beam on freight train No. 21, which passed through Hanford that night at 10:40. The train did not stop here and ZOROBINK tried to get off the train while it was in motion, with the result that he fell under the wheels. 3 cars passed over him. His right leg was cut in 2 and left hanging by a few threads of flesh; his left leg was broken in 2 places, between the knee and the ankle. He was also badly bruised about the face and other parts of his body. The train men knew nothing of the accident. The injured man was found by R. TUNZE a few seconds after the accident. The wounded man was placed on a cot and removed to the county hospital, where Dr. MUSGRAVE amputated the right leg below the knee. He is doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances, but his recovery is still in doubt. ZOROBINK is a Polish Jew and a cigar maker by trade. ------------------------------------------------------- LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -Mr[s]. J.H.
