Hi Barbara, If you can't find any descendants, an option available to you would be to donate the book to "The Museum of Art & History" at McPherson Center in Santa Cruz. They have a large collection of historical artifacts available for research purposes. <http://www.santacruzmah.org/index.php?page=archives> They are an active group and for a number of years have published an annual "Santa Cruz County History Journal" covering a wide range of topics with lots of specific name information. While it's true that many books, manuscripts, and documents collect dust on library and museum shelves, they are accessible to the members of the general public who are specifically interested in the information contained in those items. For example, years ago a family genealogist donated a copy of his family research to Steinbeck Library in Salinas. One day while browsing the local history selections, I came across the manuscript and recognizing the surname as being the same as one of the neighbors of my ancestors I decided to browse through the manuscript. It was the neighbor all right and one of my ancestors had swindled the man. I hadn't a clue until I read about the incident in that manuscript. I did some cross-referencing and was able to confirm the event happened and that my ancestor made restitution. A couple of years later I happened to be present when a representative of a large winery company was inquiring about background information on this same man. The winery had purchased the man's extensive property and were in the first stages of restoring the man's pioneer residence. I was able to direct them to the manuscript at the library. Hope this helps, Anita C. Monterey County

I haven't heard from my friends so I guess they aren't interested.

Hanford Journal Hanford, Kings Co., California Tuesday, 30 APRIL 1895 *********************************** BIRTH -- GAMBLE -- In Hanford, Monday, April 20, 1895, to the wife of David GAMBLE, a son. MARRIAGE -- EARHART-WILLIAMS -- At the residence of the bride's sister, Mrs. J.T MICKLE, in Hanford, Cal., April 24, 1895, by Rev. Father BRADY; Benjamin M.C. EARHART of Franklin Parish, Louisiana, and Miss Anna E. WILLIAMS, of Dinuba, Cal. [The bride and groom took their departure on Wednesday for Louisiana, where Mr. EARHART is engaged in business. They will stop a few days in New Orleans on the way home.] [from Local Paragraphs column] -- James F. and W.A. WILLIAMS and Miss Emily WILLIAMS, of Dinuba, were in Hanford last Wednesday, attending the wedding of their sister, Miss Anna WILLIAMS. DEATH -- KNOUFF -- At her residence, 3 1/2 miles SE of Hanford, on Friday, April 26, 1895, of Bright's disease, Mrs. Emma C. KNOUFF, wife of Jacob KNOUFF, aged 35 years, 10 months. [The funeral of deceased took place from the Methodist church yesterday forenoon, A.G. PARK officiating, and the remains were interred in the Hanford cemetery. Deceased leaves a devoted husband and other relatives, and many friends, to mourn her loss.] ------------------------------------------------------ HELD TO ANSWER -- Evidence of "Professor" FRANKS' Intent to Cut His Wife's Throat -- He Tries to Prove His "Dear Darling" Is Not What She Ought To Be -- He is Still An Inmate of the County Jail -- The preliminary examination of "Professor" FRANKS, charged with assault to commit murder, began before Justice FASSETT last Friday and lasted over Saturday. District Attorney SHORT conducted the prosecution and John A. DAVIDSON, a law student of this city, the defense. The testimony was taken by the Justice in long hand and consequently the case proceeded very slowly. The wife of the Professor, on whom the assault was committed, was in court, and gave the most damaging testimony against the defendant. She is a young, good looking woman of good education, while the defendant is a great deal older and anything but prepossessing in appearance. The young woman had just returned from Selma. She gave her testimony without hesitation and made a plain statement of the case. The accused was very nervous as he sat by his young attorney. Several parties, including Cal BLOYD and Dep. Sheriff WALKER, gave evidence in regard to seeing defendant slap his wife, or finding defendant with a razor in his hand when they entered the room of the couple. Mrs. FRANKS' testimony was substantially as follows: She was married to defendant in San Jose in November, 1894, by contract, the marriage taking place in the law office of Percy MILLS, in the presence of several witnesses, whom she named. The marriage contract was acknowledged before a Notary Public. The couple came to Hanford several days before the assault and stopped at the Axtell lodging house. On Wednesday evening, April 17th, her husband became intoxicated and she told him she would leave him and go home unless he quit drinking. He seized her and struck her 3 times across the arm with a cane. That same evening he attempted to tear all the clothes off of her and when she retired that night he took her clothes and hid them, to prevent her leaving him, but finally returned them of his own accord. She finally got him pacified. On Thursday forenoon, after they had had breakfast and entered the room, her husband began to talk very harsh to her. To avoid trouble she took a bo ok an d went out on the porch of the Axtell house to read, when he came out, struck her in the face, forced her back into the room, locked the door and kept the key in his possession. FRANKS then threw her on the bed and cuffed her face. Then he drew a razor and flourished it a number of times around her throat, holding her throat with 1 hand and the razor in the other, saying that if she made an outcry he would cut her throat, and in case she cried out and any one came to the door he would kill her anyway; that he was prepared for the business and that he had the razor sharpened especially to cut her throat, and that he had a bottle of poison in his pocket to take himself when he finished her. Then the officers rapped on the door and she told him she thought it was one of his patients. When the officers came in she was lying on the bed and FRANKS had the razor in his hand. On cross examination, Mrs. FRANKS testified that when defendant drew the razor on her he told her this thing had gone far enough -- it had come to a focus; either she must continue to live with him or take the consequences. The Professor claims that his wife is a bigamist; that she was never divorced from her 1st husband. His counsel tried to bring this out by questions put to Mrs. FRANKS, one of which was if she had not come to Hanford to avoid arrest for bigamy. The justice ruled out all such questions. The Professor testified in his own behalf that he was using the razor to shave with, at the time of the alleged assault, but he had no evidence to corroborate his statement, in fact the evidence was all against him. The trial was concluded late on Saturday afternoon and resulted in defendant being held to answer, with bonds fixed at $1000, being unable to furnish which, he remains in jail. While on the stand he referred to Mrs. FRANKS as his "dear, darling wife," and sais she was violent at times and tore his clothes. ------------------------------------------------------- MARCUS CHEBOYA, recently convicted of assault with a deadly weapon on the person of Jose GRIJALVA, was last Friday morning sentenced by Judge Jacobs to 6 months in San Quentin. In the afternoon he was taken to Healy's gallery and his picture taken and on Sunday Sheriff Buckner took him to San Quentin. ------------------------------------------------------ TYNDALL THE MYSTIC -- His Parlors at the Hotel Artesia Crowded with Anxious Callers, Who Received Remarkable Tests -- For the last few days or so the people of Hanford have been puzzled and interested by one of the greatest and most remarkable minds of the civilized world. Professor Alexander J. MacIvor TYNDALL is truly a strangely and wonderfully gifted man, and those who have witnessed his marvelous manifestations tell of his convincing tests. All day yesterday Professor TYNDALL had his parlors at the Hotel Artesia filled with visitors, and some of his clairvoyant tests have been really wonderful. In 1 case he told the whereabouts of lost documents, in another case he related the whereabouts of a missing husband. In Grand Forks, North Dakota, recently, Professor TYNDALL did some clever clairvoyant detective work which feat eclipses the exploits of Sherlock HOLMES, Dr. Conan DOYLE's picturesque creation. The police of Grand Forks availed themselves of the Professor's gift to solve the burglary of valuable clothing from the HAZELTINE residence Thursday, Oct. 11th, last year. On Sunday morning following the Professor was put on the case, and immediately went into a clairvoyant trance. By midnight of that day he had discovered the property in a barn some 2 miles from the city. It was a marvelous test and the Professor received the large reward that was offered. Professor TYNDALL will stay only a few days in Hanford and all who wish to consult this famous clairvoyant must do so at once from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. By special request on Saturday evening Professor TYNDALL will give a great exhibition of mesmerism, hypnotism and mind reading. There will be a large audience. ------------------------------------------------------- WELL ENTERTAINED -- A Large Audience Becomes Convinced of TYNDALL's Mind Reading Powers -- Prof. TYNDALL, the mind reader, gave an entertainment at the Opera House in this city last Wednesday evening, which was a revelation of hidden human powers to the large number of spectators who attended. He is certainly a man of mystery. A committee of 8 gentlemen, consisting of Messrs. J.D. BIDDLE, E.E. MANHEIM, C.C. CHILDRESS, C.M. BLOWERS, C.W. CLARKE, Dixon L. PHILLIPS, J.O. HICKMAN and H.T. HENDRICKS, were selected by the audience to see that there was no faking about the tests, and the Professor used them all, one at a time, by reading their minds through taking hold of their hands, to find out what he wanted to know. Persons in the audience who were touched by members of the committee while the Professor was behind the stage were soon located by him and he quickly found articles that were hidden. He did all his work blindfolded. The murder test was a most excellent one, as were also the ribbon and marriage tests. The audience was highly entertained and there were very few in the audience but what were convinced that Professor TYNDALL has powers possessed by but few people. ------------------------------------------------------- LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -Mrs. H.G. LACEY returned last Tuesday from a visit to relatives in Kansas. -Amanda B. CLARK, of this city, widow of a Mexican war veteran, has been granted a pension. -C.J. CRAYCROFT, mayor of Fresno, is a brother of T.B. CRAYCROFT, the brickmaker and contractor, formerly of this city. -R. ITJEN had a saddle stolen from his about 2 weeks ago and last Wednesday night one was stolen from Frank GRIFFITH, the horse trainer. -Mrs. E.J. HUMMEL writes from Sonora that upon her arrival there she found her father much better. He was suffering from congestion of the brain. -J. Irvine FOX and family last Saturday moved their household goods down on to their farm, 20 miles north of Bakersfield, where they will reside in future. [transcriber, Dee (Fox) Sardoch, note: This is my gr-grandfather.] -Mr.&Mrs. MILLS of Texas, arrived here yesterday and will remain a month, visiting Jacob KNOUFF. Mrs. MILLS is a sister of Mrs. KNOUFF, who died last Friday, and Mr. MILLS owns property in Hanford. EDNA EARL, a member of the demi-monde, attempted suicide in Spanishtown, at Visalia, last Tuesday evening. She fired a bullet into her breast. The wound is not necessary fatal, but is dangerous. The woman is about 25 years of age and went to Visalia from Hanford several months ago. BEN KORN left on Sunday of last week to take his new position as conductor on the logging train at the Sequoia Mills. His family will follow him soon. On the evening previous to Mr. KORN's departure the family was given a surprise at their home by many of their friends, and a most enjoyable evening was spent. The family will be missed by the society of our neighboring town and they have many friends in Hanford who heartily regret their departure. ------------------------------------------------------ GRANGEVILLE -- -Cyrus WALKER leaves for Napa on a vacation next Tuesday. -J.S. ROBINSON is visiting his daughter, Mrs. PARRISH. -Mrs. BEAN of Port Costa and Miss Minnie SANBORN are visiting with Mr.&Mrs. Eben SANBORN. -Mrs. Harry NEWPORT is giving up her house in Grangeville and will spend this summer with her mother at Napa. She leaves next week. -A letter was received from Mr. Wm. AGEE last week announcing his safe arrival in San Francisco.

Hi Bill, Most excellent piece of history and an exciting, for you, to get a picture of your experience. My only excursion into the "upper crust" was my 1957 Graduation at the Opera House.

Thanks, Bill. I loved reading this. Lily Pons was my Dad's favorite. We weren't living in the city yet, and when we did, we couldn't afford tickets to the opera, but I saw my first performances at Stern Grove in the 40s. Cathy In a message dated 1/18/2010 2:11:17 P.M.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE ELK GROVE AMATEURS - Our Elk Grove correspondent says a very enjoyable entertainment was given by the Elk Grove Amateurs at Elk Grove last Friday evening. The programme though somewhat lengthy was well selected. Miss Anna McCONNELL, Mrs. Nettie EVERSON and Messrs. Ninion COONS and O.W. ERLEWINE each sang songs that elicited well-deserved applause. The chief feature of the evening was the military drama, "Enlisted for the War." Mrs. Nettie EVERSON made a splendid Mrs. Trueworthy, the widowed mother. Ninion COONS played the part of the son Robert with great feeling. Miss Belle McKENNEY, as Mattie Trueworthy showed her talents to good advantage. C.B. TURRILL made a good Hosea Jenks, a corpulent auctioneer, with a strong penchant for very poor puns, at which he laughed immoderately. The part of Hiram, the son of Hosea Jenks, was taken by D.S. BASCOM, whose awkward boyishness brought down the house. Miss Laura GRAHAM made a handsome and attractive Gaylie Gifford. Frank GRAHAM, in the difficult character of Crimp (a darkey) gave proof of his strong dramatic talent. O.W. ERLEWINE, as Colonel Boxer, convulsed the house with laughter by his aversion to tobacco, especially when talking with General Grant.(W.E. EVERSON), who was provided with the omnipresent cigar. Lew LAWRENCE made a capital Wilder Rowe, the villain of the play. The familiar comedy, Nan, the Good-for-Nothing, formed a part of the programme. Miss Laura GRAHAM made an excellent Nan. The parts of the two fathers were well sustained by D.S. BASCOM and C.B. TURRILL. Lewis LAWRENCE as Charley and N. COONS as Simpson played their parts well also. After the performance dancing was in order and continued until 4 oíclock next morning. SERIOUS ACCIDENT Fall of the K street Balcony - A Score and More Persons Injured Shortly after the ìHorriblesî procession up K street yesterday - about 4:30 P.M., a balcony at the southwest corner of K and Eighth streets fell, and precipitated a river of people upon it some fifteen feet to the sidewalk below and upon the cobbles of the street. The balcony gave way from being overweighed for so aged a structure. It was old, warped and insufficient to sustain a weight which its size had naturally invite upon it, however strong it might have been originally. The section which fell was the corner from line of the east wall to the building but the line of the K-street sidewalk and from line of the south wall of the house to the *th street sidewalk, or a section about five and fifteen feet square. The property owned by A. COOLOT, stationer and tobaccoist, J street, between Eighth and Ninth. Nearly as can now be ascertained there were on the balcony some twenty-five people, adults and children, and a few others scattered along its extension westward on K street. Something attracted the attention of these people up K street, and most of them shoved up to the corner of the balcony, whereupon it suddenly gave way and precipitated the crowd to the street below. Beneath the balcony stood nearly as great a crowd as that above. Upon these people the timbers fell, and many were severely bruised. The scene at the time of the fall was heartrending. The cries of women, the screams of children, the groans of the wounded, the cries for help, the imprecation of the men, all went to make up a scene full of tragic interest, and which appealed to even the coldest heart. A hundred strong men instantly responded to the cry for aid, the broken timbers were speedily cleared away, and the wounded ones carried into adjacent apartments and physicians summoned. An immense crowd gathered, and the efforts of the police and several military men was necessary to keep back the people and afford room for the treatment of the sufferers. As nearly as can now be ascertained the sufferers were: Mrs. Job WEBB, Nineteenth and N street, severely bruised in the side and head; fell from the balcony. The little boy of Mrs. WEBB, ankle and foot badly hurt; fell from the balcony. Another and elder child of Mrs. WEBB fell form the balcony and was slightly bruised. Mrs. James MURRAY, Nineteenth and N streets. Precipitated from the balcony; badly bruised on the right knee and foot and in the back. Mrs. Annie BLAKE, an invalid, resides in the building; was thrown from the balcony into the broken mass of lumber and was badly hurt in the right side and is hurt internally badly. Mrs. Mollie JACKSON fell with the wreck; lives in the building; severely injured internally. Mrs. C.E. CLARK lives in the building; fell form the balcony; hurt in the head and back, but not seriously. Mrs. Cora MOWE lives in the building; was thrown with her child in arms from the balcony and both were considerably bruised. Ida GERRY, a child, slightly bruised by falling timber; lives at 1623 G street. W.W. SMITH, 1623 G street, was beneath the balcony and was badly hurt on the back by a falling beam. May JOHNSON, a child, living on G street, near 1623, was severely bruised. Mr. and Mrs. NELLIS, living on Eighth street, between K and L, were beneath the balcony. The old gentleman was cut in the hand and wrist and the old lady was bruised in the shoulder and back. A young man named VANDEMARK and his sister, living in the country, were beneath the balcony and were both severely bruised, but not seriously so. A.O. CAMPBELL, Eldred House, hurt by falling timbers; injury mainly in the hips; not serious. Wm. McKENZIE, lives at the American Eagle Hotel; crushed by a falling beam; suffering from concussion and from internal injuries. Seven or eight persons were slightly bruised, who left for their homes before their names could be ascertained. The balcony was along its horizontals all out of line, and few of the posts were at a perfect perpendicular. The supports were six by six inches, nine feet apart and probably strong enough if perfectly upright and on unyielding foundations, which appearances indicate may not have been the case. It seems that the inner corner sank first. It was held upon cleats resting on iron clamps set in the wall and keyed to the wall by a Y shaped iron, which pulled out. Mr. COOLOT had contemplated soon building a new balcony. The place was loaded with flower-boxes full of earth, wood, water-barrels, etc., but most of these weights were not upon the corner that fell, though some were.

The Sacramento Daily Record-Union Wednesday, July 7. 1880 The Public Lands of San Francisco. WASHINGTON, July 6th - In the case of the public lands of San Francisco, the acting Commissioner of the General Land Office decided that the small tract of land known as Willow Grove, at the head of Guadalupe river, must be included in the official survey. This tract is owned by the Odd Fellowsí Savings Bank of San Francisco, and has been improved at considerable expense by that corporation, which holds its title under the pueblo grants. COAST DISPATCHES Special to the Record-Union SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT COLUSA Several Persons Injured by the Fall of an Overcrowded Balcony. PASSENGERS FROM THE EAST BY RAIL For the First Time in Nine Years the ìFourthî Celebrated at Salt Lake DAMAGING CLOUDBURTS NEAR YREKA Grand Observance of the National Holiday at Monterey CALIFORNIA Dangers of a Fireman's Life - Six Men Buried in the Ruins of Burning Building SAN FRANCISCO, July 6th - About 11:40 last night a fire occurred in a large stable at the corner of Turk and Larkin streets. Men were ordered up on the roof. The outer wall fell in, burying Charles CROCKETT, J.J. WILKINSON, James BEANE, Mike BYRON, officer John CHESTER and George WILSON. They were rescued by their brave companions. All will live, though CHESTER is badly burned, having been wedged between two burning bales of hay. A Frightfully Mutilated Man - One of the Proprietors of a Theater Shoots His Partner - Condition of the Injured Firemen. San Francisco, July 6th - B.F. HASTING, injured by the explosion at Monterey Sunday, and whose death was erroneously reported, was brought to the city do-day. His injuries are of such a nature that death is likely to ensue, and would be a mercy to him. Both eyes are burst, one leg is so crushed that amputation will be necessary, and he has other painful and serious injuries. About 10 o'clock this evening Samuel TETLOW, one of the proprietors of the Bella Union Theater, walked into the bar-room of the theater, where his partner, Wm. SKEANTLEBURY, was taking a drink with some friends, and with the remark, "Prepare yourself," or something to that effect, drew a navy revolver and fired. The ball passed through Skeantlebury's right arm, entered the cavity of the chest, and was taken out from under the shoulder blade. TETLOW was instantly seized by a policeman and taken to the Station-house, and SKEANTLEBURY removed to the Receiving Hospital. It is not certain whether or not the wound is fatal. The cause of the difficulty is not known, those having a knowledge of the subject preserving silence. All the firemen injured at the fire last night are doing well except CHESTER, who is in a very critical condition, being badly burned, and having inhaled hot air, causing congestion of the lungs. Serious Accident At Colusa - Another Broken Balcony COLUSA, July 6th - As the lady equestrians were approaching the corner of Market and Sixth streets yesterday, a rush was made for the corner of the balcony on the Sun building, when one section of it gave way, and some fifteen or twenty persons fell through to the sidewalk, a distance of seventeen feet. The break was slow enough to enable many persons on the section to get away. It was almost a miracle that no one was fatally injured. Among the injured are Mrs. GROVER, wife of J. GROVER; Mrs. LAUGENOUR, of College City; J.D. GAGE; a small child of Mr. GROVER; Mr. JOSE and two boys of Captain WARNER. The three first were insensible for a long time, and one of Warnerís boys had his thigh broken. Several little girls hung on to the banisters and crawled out after the fall, showing great presence of mind. Those underneath had time after the balcony began to break to get out of the way except Mrs. W.H. BRASFIELD, who had to get a baby buggy off ahead of her. She received a slight scalp wound. Mr. GREEN had given orders for no one to go on that part of the balcony, and several gentlemen were warning the crowd of the danger at the time. The door had been locked to keep the crowd out, but it was broken open, and they rushed suddenly on, each one thinking that it would hold one more. Other than this the celebration here was a decided success. Died of His Injured - Burglaries MERCED, July 6th - Charles Boyce HOWARD, the man who was burned here on Sunday in the lock-up, died yesterday afternoon, and was buried this morning in the grounds of the Merced Cemetery Association. He has two brothers, William and Lafayette HOWARD, residing in Baltimore, Md. Deceased was aged about 62 years. Among the incidents on the 4th were the burglarizing of three dwellings while the occupants were attending the celebration, but the booty obtained by the robbers was not great - $30 in money and some trifling articles of clothing only being missed.

Coroner HAMILTON has been notified. Little Girl Fatally Burned ROSEVILLE, July 6th - A child, aged four years, the daughter of Peter BAIN, who resides about six miles from here, was fatally burned yesterday. The grass near Bainís house caught fire, and after being extinguished the little girl was, with other children, walking about over the burned section, when her clothes caught fire and she was fearfully burned before the flames could be extinguished. Motel Destroyed by Fire NAPA, July 6th - The Union Garden Hotel took fire at about 10 o'clock last night and burned down. The furniture, although slightly injured, was all saved.

SIERRA BUTTES MINE, July 6th - James MAY, a lad of 12 years, from Downieville, while riding a horse about Rocky Point, near here, the horse backed off the grade, falling thirty feet, perpendicularly, alighting on the rocks below and rolling down the mountain side about 500 feet.

(San Francisco and Woodland papers please copy.) [Friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend the funeral, which will take place from the German Lutheran Church, corner Twelfth and K streets, this afternoon at 2 o'clock.] MAN INJURED BY A BOILER EXLPOSION - Upon Saturday last two sheep- herders who had become lost and strayed upon the Higin & Tevis ranch, found a serious accident to have happened to the engineer who had charge of the pumping works upon the ranch. As they approached, they discovered him walking about with his vest turned up over his head and probably somewhat bewildered. Upon examination it was found that the boiler had exploded, his head was badly cut, and face burned and swollen, and his neck and other parts of the body were also burned from the explosion. He could not tell when the accident occurred, but as the boiler was cold, it had evidently taken place the day precious. A report of the case was sent to this city, and he has received medical attendance and is improving. MURDEROUS ASSAULT - About 11 o'clock on Sunday evening as George MONTGOMERY, who is employed with Coroner VERMILYA, was going home, he was met at the corner of Eighth and L streets by David O'BRIEN, with whom he had previously had a dispute, and O'BRIEN attacked him without any warning and beat him severely about the head, and cut a long gash above the ear. Mr. MONTGOMERY was assisted home by two men who came along, and medical help called. He is not considered dangerously injured, but will be laid up for some time. O'BRIEN has been arrested for assault to murder, and the case will come before the Police Court to-day. AN UPSET -Last evening an aged farmer living near Whisky Hill was driving down Tenth street with a double team when his buggy collided with a street car and was suddenly thrown over. Mr. INGERSOLL was considerably bruised, as also was his daughter and grandchild, who had been in the buggy with him. The team, fortunately, was very gentle, and stood perfectly still until the occupants of the buggy were pulled from beneath the calash and the vehicle was put to rights again. SUDDEN DEATH - Yesterday forenoon Mrs. John SWINERTON sank dead upon the floor at her residence, in a fainting fit. She was in moderate health, but had been treated for similar attacks of fainting previously, and as her family physician is clearly convinced that her death ensued from this cause, the Coroner, after consultation with the family and medical adviser, concluded an inquest was unnecessary. POLICE ARRESTS - Arrests were made yesterday as follows: John DOE, embezzlement, by officers CARROLL and FRAZEE; Jack DONOVAN, disturbing the peace, by officers FRAZEE and CAMPBELL; Ernest WORKMAN, vagrancy, by officer FRAZEE; David O'BRIEN, assault to murder, by officers RIDER, FERRALL, LEE and CAMPBELL. HUMAN SKELETON FOUND - Yesterday Coroner VERMILYA was notified that R.F. WHITE, while prospecting on his father's ranch near Salisbury Station the day previous, discovered a human skeleton near the surface of the ground. The Coroner will go there to-day and investigate the matter. Alex. W.H. MacEWEN will be pleased to see his many school-book customers at his store, 610 J street, conducted by Washburn & Redman. A full line of school-books at exchange and introduction prices.

Don't know if you have seen this, but it's rainy and I had nothing else to do so I found my 1937 memories of being an opera super at the War Memorial. My photo is there and so is Lily Pons. Bill http://americahurrah.com/SanFrancisco/Memories/sfmemOpera.html

Hanford Journal Hanford, Kings Co., California Tuesday, 23 APRIL 1895 ************************************ MARRIAGE -- BERNSTEIN-McGOWAN -- At the Palace Hotel, in Visalia, Cal., by Rev. Father GRIFFITH; Harry M. BERNSTEIN and Miss Margaret E. McGOWAN, Monday, April 22d. [The ceremony took place at 8 o'clock p.m. Mr.&Mrs. E.L. HUBBELL, of this city, stood up with the young couple. Mr. BERNSTEIN is a Constable of this city and his bride has been teaching school at Milo, Tulare county. They will arrive in Hanford this evening. They have the best wishes of the 'Journal' and a host of other friends of the groom in Kings county, for a long and happy married life.] DEATH -- BAIRSTOW -- In Hanford, April 16th, 1895, Calvin, infant son of Mr.&Mrs. J.W. BAIRSTOW, aged 1 year, 5 months. ------------------------------------------------------ A SAD ACCIDENT -- A little daughter of Mr.&Mrs. Joseph B. ROURKE, of Lakeside, was accidentally drowned last Thursday evening, between sundown and dark. The little one went out of the house and when she was gone probably 5 minutes her mother noted her absence and went to look for her. Supposing the child was with her father, who was milking, she called to him, but the child was not with him. There was a side ditch near the house and Mr. ROURKE ran down the bank some distance but failed to find the child. He then turned the water out of the ditch and the body was found some 150 yards below a bridge, from which it is supposed she fell into the water. The remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery last Saturday. The bereaved parents have the heartfelt sympathy of many friends in Hanford and Lakeside in their sad bereavement. ------------------------------------------------------ [from Local Paragraphs column] -- "Bee" WAGY, son of ex-Sheriff WAGY, was buried in Visalia last Tuesday, his remains having been brought up from Arizona. Deceased lived many years in Visalia and had many friends and old schoolmates there, including the publisher of the 'Journal,' who were saddened by the news of his death. Deceased was 39 years of age. ------------------------------------------------------ A MEXICAN CONVICTED of Assault With a Deadly Weapon -- A Jury Materially Reduces the Charge Against Him -- The trial of Marcus CHEBOYA, a large muscular old Mexican, on a charge of stabbing Jose GRIJALDA, another Mexican, in the left shoulder and side on the day of the State election last November, was begun in the Superior Court yesterday forenoon. The following constituted the jury: E. AXTELL W.J. WEIR J.R. HIGH J.M. STANLEY C.H. HOWARD Wm. OGDEN Chas. LATHAM H.W. RAWLINS E.W. KERR J.T. HERIFORD W.N. BATTENFELD J.H. DOPKINS District Attorney SHORT prosecuted the case assisted by Rufus ABBOTT, and Chas. TALBOT was attorney for the defendant. CHEBOYA testified on his own behalf. He cannot talk English and Frank GRIFFITH acted as interpreter. Miss TALBOT, of Tulare, took down the evidence in the absence of court reporter GOODRICH, who is still sick. After addresses by counsel on both sides, the case was ready to go to the jury at supper time. After the jury had dined, they deliberated but a short time and then brought in a verdict of assault with a deadly weapon, the penalty for which is not more than $1000 or less than $100 fine, or imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding 2 years, or both fine and imprisonment. The original charge against CHEBOYA was assault to commit murder. Sentence will be pronounced on CHEBOYA on Thursday forenoon of this week. ------------------------------------------------------- THOMAS FINUCANE Is Fined the Sum of $100 -- The case of the People vs. Thomas FINUCANE, defendant accused of malicious mischief in having burned a dam in the Lower Kings River ditch, was called in the Superior Court this morning. The defendant had pleaded not guilty and the securing of a jury was proceeded with. When 6 jurors had been secured, the defendant announced that he desired to plead guilty and he was allowed to do so. District Attorney SHORT made a statement that as the principal defendant in the case, Augusta HEINLEN, was now deceased, and Mr. FINUCANE had merely obeyed the order of his employer in burning out the dam, he would be satisfied with a fine of the costs -- about $75. Judge Jacobs fined defendant $100, which was paid at once and the case was thus ended. ------------------------------------------------------ A WONDERFUL FEAT -- Prof. TYNDALL Finds a Bunch of Keys After a Wild Drive Blindfolded -- At 3 o'clock this afternoon Prof. TYNDALL, the great mind reader, gave an exhibition of his powers. A committee of 4 gentlemen drove 9 1/2 blocks and hid a bunch of keys. The Professor, blindfolded, drove a span of L.E. HALL's most spirited horses attached to a surrey containing the committee, back over exactly the same route they had taken, the horses going most of the time on a run; the Professor made the same turns in driving that the committee did and finally secured the keys under the grate in an old stove in the old Hanford Agricultural Works building on Seventh St. The only guide the Professor had in making the drive and search was: He placed one of Dr. HENDRICK's hands on his forehead and drove part of the way with his teeth. The exhibition is the talk of the town and it was certainly a wonderful feat. ------------------------------------------------------ LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -F.R. HUBBELL, a recent arrival in this city from Wisconsin, has bought lots and is building himself a neat 4-room cottage on Ivy St., between Irwin and Redington. -Samuel McCOY, of South Dakota, a half-brother of the McGINNIS boys, has arrived in Hanford. He is well pleased with the city and surrounding country and will locate here permanently. THOMAS DODGE and wife of Lemoore were visiting in Hanford last Sunday, and were accompanied by Mr.&Mrs. E.J. DAVIDGE, of Westfield, Penn. Mrs. DAVIDGE and Mrs. DODGE are sisters. The visitors will remain several weeks. MILTON DOUGLASS has quit dairying and is now devoting his time exclusively to the care of his bees, of which he has 140 stands. The little honey makers, he reports, are doing nicely this year and are storing away good quantities of the sweets. TONY SARGENT, an employee of the 'Journal' office, met with a painful accident by having 3 fingers of his right hand badly crushed in a job press last Saturday. There is danger that he may have to have the end of 1 of his fingers amputated at the 1st joint. D. DAVIES and Chas. FURBY left Hanford today by team, for the Fresno Hot Springs, on a rusticating trip. Mr. DAVIES had not been out of this city since he arrived here from London 5 years ago and he deserves a vacation. PROF. TYNDALL, the mind reader, informed a 'Journal' reporter yesterday that he had received a request from parties in San Francisco to come down there and try his powers on DURRANT, the suppositious murderer of Misses LAMONT and WILLIAMS, and he thinks he will go soon. He says he would, if he went, like to try his powers on the Rev. GIBSON also, as he thinks the gentleman has acted rather suspiciously since the crimes were discovered. He was written a letter to the 'Examiner' offering his services in the case. THOMAS DOWNARD, formerly of this city but now a resident of Honolulu, has our thanks for a copy of a book entitled "The Rebellion of 1895," a complete and concise account of the insurrection in the Republic of Hawaii. It is very interesting reading and contains quite a number of illustrations of prominent personages and scenes on the beautiful isles. LAST WEDNESDAY H.B. SKINNER was released from the Kings County jail by the payment of $100, just 1/2 of the fine imposed upon him by Judge Jacobs when he plead guilty to conspiring to defraud the proprietress of a home of ill fame in this city out of $10. He was sentenced to a fine of $200 or to 100 days. He served half the time. The $100 was furnished 1/2 by his relatives, and the other half by his wife. SKINNER was first arrested on a charge of trying to sell his bride of a few months into a house of ill fame in this city. He set up the defense that he had not intended to place his wife there, but had made a pretention to place his wife there for $10 in order to defraud the proprietress of the house. He plead guilty to conspiracy and the other charge against him was dismissed. He remained about Hanford till Sunday, when having received some money from his folks, he left town. A MAN who calls himself "Professor" Frank FRANCIS, was arrested last Wednesday forenoon, in the Axtell lodging house, where he and his wife had been stopping for a few days. Co. Treasurer SLAVIN and others saw him slapping his wife's face, and pull her into their room from the front porch. They notified Sheriff BUCKNER, who arrested FRANCIS in his room His wife says that after he got her in the room he threw her on the bed and threatened to cut her throat. He had a razor in his hand when the officers entered. He was first charged with disturbing the peace, but was later charged with assault with a deadly weapon. His wife left Hanford on Sunday last, saying she would be back as a witness when the case came up. The man had been drinking and was in a drunken state when arrested. He was married his wife by contract, she says, in San Jose. She is a daughter of B.F. PRATHER of Selma. -------------------------------------------------------- GRANGEVILLE -- -Mr. Will AGEE left for Alaska last Wednesday on a prospecting trip. He expects to be gone about 6 months. A few of his friends gathered at his home Tuesday evening to wish him "bon voyage" and a safe return to this family and friends. -Mrs. VAUGHN, who has been very sick for the past 2 weeks, is slowly recovering, but we regret to learn that her husband and little girl are still very sick. Mr. VAUGHN has been threatened with pneumonia and the child has whooping cough. WEST END -- -The little son of George STOKES went out to drive in the cattle, when the mule he was riding threw him. Late that night the cattle and mule came in, but the boy came not. A search was made all night. Next morning he was found with his leg broken in 3 places and badly bruised. His foot hung in the stirrup and he had been dragged for some distance. There is no hope of his recovery. -New received today reports Bert STOKES a little better. He has regained his senses, but cannot tell how the accident happened. -Mrs. CARTER and daughters, of Lemoore, have returned home from an extended visit to Mr.&Mrs. LUMSDEN at the Dudley postoffice.
