TROUBLE IN AN IRRIGATION DISTRICT The troubles that have been gathering over the Otay Irrigation district in San Diego County reached an acute stage the other day when Wesley Perry, late collector of the district, was arrested on a criminal complaint charging him with omitting to pay over funds of the district amounting to $517. The complaint was made by Ranford Worthing, a prominent landholder in the district. It sets forth that Perry was collector of the district from November, 1892, to March, 1895, when he was succeeded by Isaac Smith, but failed to turn over the sum stated. The money was collected as assessments or taxes on the lands of the district, and it is feared that a muddle will be caused in titles to the lands, as the books are said to be in a bad condition, and the state of affairs is similar to that in the County Tax Collector's office, where money was received for taxes and never accounted for, the lands going delinquent and being sold unknown to the owners who supposed the taxes paid and credited. Perry was found by a constable at his home at Otay. He made no attempt to get away, though the sum involved is said to be much larger than that named in the complaint. He was brought to town and arraigned and bonds fixed at $750. He furnished them and was released some prominent citizens in his behalf to secure a light sentence. It is now supposed he did this to escape discovery of the crime of murdering his pal. After securing the booty from the bank they drove to the Rincon hills, and there left their team and hid in the mountains. Barnes stated that he repeatedly detected Hyatt in the act of raising a rock to beat out his brains, and only protected himself by compelling Hyatt to go on before him at the point of a revolver. The next morning they divided the money and took a train to Los Angeles. From that day to this no trace of Hyatt has been found. The officer who took Barnes to San Quentin detected him in conversation with two toughs on the journey there. Barnes' movements were so suspicious on several occasions on the way that the officer took extra precautions to prevent his escape. He is not now as penitent as he appeared to be when pleading with the court for a light sentence. His story of Hyatt's movements are considered fishy, and it is supposed that the balance of the bank's money is now somewhere in the Chino hills, known only to Barnes. The officers believe the body of Hyatt may yet be found to tell the story of a double crime. WALLOWED IN RATTLE-SNAKES. SAN JACINTO, Cal., April 19.—A desperate and almost indescribable battle between a horde or rattlesnakes and a bunch of hogs occurred a few days since on John Lake's place, at the foot of the San Jacinto Mountain. This branch of the San Bernardino spur of the coast range had long been noted as the home and rendezvous of thousands of rattlesnakes of the dusky brown species, which have been looked upon with dread by the hunters, from the fact that they have always been exceedingly aggressive and dangerous. For years this mountain had been the terror and dread of the people of the vicinity, and it is seldom that any traveler or hunter has had the temerity heretofore to cross the ridge at or near a certain point, so numerous and deadly have been the poisonous reptiles. But that has all been changed, owing to the fact that old John Lake has imported when he refused to divulge the and fracturing his skull in two spite his secure fastenings, thus struggled hard and long, as he spattered all the furniture in which was in great disorder. Thinking a box of gold and silver was $100 in coin were found in his police arrested Stewart Green, Duroy, an electrician, and a baker Miller. When arrested the latter get his pistol, but was prevented mistress gave the clue to the Subsequently Green made a full stating that he and Miller had coined murder but had got nothing. Mr confession, tried to throw the mission of the crime upon Duroy of lynching were made. A PRETTY PLUM SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.—Capt. land, a night watchman on one wharves, and his brother, Jotham, a farmer of Naps, will each inherit share of $3,000,000 held in trust Mrs. Hetty Green during her lifetime Green's father was Edmund Mettle The Howlands where nephews of wife. Robinson, more commonly "Blackhaw" Robinson, was a wee-in ship stores of New Bedford, made a large fortune, over $10,000 left $7,000,000 absolutely to his Hetty Green, and $3,000,000 was for life, which the remainder after to the Howland heirs. Robinson had made his first success through the assistance of his father Gideon Howland, and it was grazed this that prompted him to make sure turn in his power, by remembering relations in his will. Originally seven of these heirs, Jotham Howland, of the brothers now living here Howland, Sylvia Amy, Gideon Howland, Joseph Howland, Maria Haskell sa Bailey. The only survivors of these Bailey. All the others have died. Green has out lived them every year; they never have seen a single New penny, she has been turning over all rolling up the millions into more through all the years. The money was collected as assessments or taxes on the lands of the district, and it is feared that a muddle will be caused in titles to the lands, as the books are said to be in a bad condition, and the state of affairs is similar to that in the County Tax Collector's office, where money was received for taxes and never accounted for, the lands going delinquent and being sold unknown to the owners who supposed the taxes paid and credited. Perry was found by a constable at his home at Otay. He made no attempt to get away, though the sum involved is said to be much larger than that named in the complaint. He was brought to town and arraigned and bonds fixed at $750. He farnished them and was released. His examination was set for May 15th. The Collector is under bonds of $100,000, and this, it is be lied, caused Collector Smith through Worthing to prevent any possible loss. Perry says he withheld the money on the advice of attorneys, and will pay it over when compelled by the courts. On the other hand, it is claimed that he actually took the money and appropriated it to his own use. Hence the criminal charge against him. The district has been in trouble since its organization, and several attempts have been made to disorganize it. THE LION PARNELL KILLED. MONterey (Mex.), May 5—Parnell, the man-eating lion, was killed here today in the bull-ring by a Mexican bull. The contest between the bull and the lion was witnessed by 2,000 persons, who were wildly enthusiastic over the situations offered by the combat. It was a thoroughly brutal affair. Parnell fought the bull here two weeks ago, getting rather the worst of the battle. Consequently, on being jet into the thirty-foot cage to day, he failed to show the fire and aggressiveness that animated him before. In fact, he played the coward, and instead of meeting the bull in its first mad dash, as was expected, he turned one side and avoided him again and again. The bull continued on the offensive, but the lion never returned the attack except when the closeness of the combat was such that he could not avoid it. Twice he made vicious grabs at the bovine's nose, so that it was streaming with blood, though the blood was due in part to the bull dashing his nose on the ground in attempts to get his horns low enough to toss his adversary. After racing about the ring Parnell finally found a place so close to the edge of the cage that it was difficult for his antagonist to get at him, where he crouched in abject fear. Finally, yielding to the demands of the crowd, the attendants threw a rope around Parnell's head and drew him to the center of the ring where the bull finished him. The one-sided combat lasted one hour. The lion's injuries must have been internal, as notwithstanding the terrible tossing he received, his tough hide did not seem to be punctured by the bull's horns. It had been promised by the promoters of the fight to bring down a large young lion from Fort Worth to battle to day with the bull, but as Parnell killed and ate a goat on Monday, and two days later killed and ate a yearling heifer, his physical condition was considered good, and it was thought that he would put up a fight for his life. Col. Boone has received a number of offers for Parnell's hide, but it is probable that a certain official of Monterey will stuff and preserve it as a memento of the prowess of the bull. Parnell is the well-known lion which killed his keeper at the Midwinter Fair in San Francisco, and who recently caused the death of his trainer, George Rooke, in Laredo. He caught Rooke's arm as he was carelessly standing near the cage and mangled the man so horribly that he died of blood poisoning. Parnell recently fought with the grizzly bear Ramidan, which was afterwards killed by a bull. A bull-fight is scheduled for next Sunday. Spur of the coast range had long been noted as the home and rendezvous of thousands of rattlesnakes of the dusky brown species, which have been looked upon with dread by the hunters, from the fact that they have always been exceedingly aggressive and dangerous. For years this mountain had been the terror and dread of the people of the vicinity, and it is seldom that any traveler or hunter has had the temerity heretofore to cross the ridge at or near a certain point, so numerous and deadly have been the poisonous reptiles. But that has all been changed, owing to the fact that old John Lake has imported from North Carolina a bunch of the long-nosed, long-legged species of hogs, which from their clongated personnel, have been identified under the title of slug-diggers. Uncle John had been so posterized and annoyed by the army of snakes that infested his cow ranch that he put his wits to work and finally hit upon the happy plan of importing his lank and bony swine, which have had the reputation of being inveterate enemies of the snake family. He hauled over the mountains twenty-two big, bony hogs of the species above described and placed them in pens, where he kept them well fed and treated. When the old man had concluded that his muscular pets had become sufficiently acclimated and at home he released them from their pens, and early in the morning, while it was yet cool and the snakes were half benumbed or asleep, he went up the mountain to a spot where he knew the reptiles dwelt by the thousand. All along the pathway he dropped grains of corn until he reached side of the snake pit, a sunken spot in the side of the mountain, containing about half an acre. Here he threw down a bushel of loose corn, and together with his boys took shelter in a low tree. Within a few minutes she satisfied grunts of the porkers were heard as they followed the trail of corn, until the whole drove of hogs broke into view from the underbrush. The came on until they arrived at the pit, where they stood for a minute or two, until the old boar, an immense fellow, came up when he took the lead and went grunting down the bank into the pit. All the other members of the family followed until the twenty-two hogs were all in the small amphitheatre of a half acre. The hogs quickly picked up the corn, but by time they had thoroughly cleaned it up the snakes, aroused by heat of the morning sun and noise of the porkers, began to appear from the crevices. A dozen then twenty, and directly several hundred rattlers writhed their little bodies from their holes and looked at the porkers with shining eyes and darting tongues. Two or three hundred snakes in a mass of sixty surging bodies began to draw themselves toward the hogs, but they had not crawled more than 30 or 40 feet away from the crevices in the rocks before and old boar gave a shrill, infuriated squeal, when the whole drove of hogs was among its enemies. The scene which followed cannot be put in words. The few spectators would not have missed their sight for a ranch. The hogs charged their enemies, picking them up in their jaws and trampling them under foot; while the snakes shook their rattles and struck their enemies with their fangs. The fight raged for half an hour, a hog retreating for a moment's rest, and then recharging into the midst of the writhing mass; ripping and trampling the snakes until the ground was literally covered with their writhing bodies. At one time old boar was almost literally covered with snakes, but he didn't appear to care for their bites or the poison. He would reach around, catch it in his jaws, throw it to the ground, and then hold it there with his feet until he tore its body to pieces. This he kept up for half an hour, retreating but once for a breath of air or a brief rest, when back he went at it again. Robinson had made his first success through the assistance of his father Gideon Howland, and it was great this that prompted him to make this turn in his power; by remembering relations in his will. Originally seven of these heirs, Jotham Howland, Joseph Howland, Maria Haskell and Bailey. The only survivors of these Bailey. All the others have died. Green has out lived them every day; they never have seen a single New penny; she has been turning over all rolling upthe millions into more through allthe years. It will be those sons of old Jotham men who were boys when she will miss are now gray-haired men who will be forthe greater part ofthe $3,000 she holds in trust to be distributed by death.

One of the possible future industries of Southern California is the production of the essential oils of the lemon, orange and bergamot. At the present time a very large proportion of damaged fruit of our orange and lemon orchards is allowed to go to waste, without regard to the valuable oils which it contains. In the manufacture of the essential oils, wind-falls, thorn picked fruit, and such specimens as we designate as "culls," are used, and the business is reported to be very lucrative. With the largely increased area of citrus fruits coming into bearing each year in Southern California, the growing fastidiousness of the consumer, who demands only the best fruit, some means of utilizing the inferior, unsaleable class will have to be sorted to, and with the curtailment of the large profits which have heretofore ruled, the grower can afford to have no waste products in his orchard. When we reach this condition, and it is apparently not far away, the manufacture of essential oils and citric acid will become prominent industries in this section, and how important a source of wealth this branch may become is indicated by the fact that the United States expends annually over a million dollars for essential and volatile oils, the larger part of which should remain at home.

Barnes, who with one Hyatt robbed the Ontario State bank of $5,000 a few months ago, is now safely lodged in San Quentin for a term of six years. The officers suspect him on circumstantial evidence of having killed his partner in crime. While Barnes was confined in jail at San Bernardino awaiting trial he formed a plan of escape in conjunction with friends on the outside. Failing in this he pleaded guilty and refused to defend his case in court. He enlisted Persons who sympathize with the allioted will rejoice with D. E. Carr of 1225 Harrison street, Kansas City. He is an old sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism, but has not heretofore been troubled in this climate. Last winter he went up into Wisconsin, and in consequence had another attack. "It came upon me again very acute and severe," he said. "My joints swelled and became inflamed; sore to touch or almost to look at. Upon the urgent request of my mother-in-law I tried Chamberlain's Pain Balm to reduce the swelling and ease the pain, and to my agreeable surprise, it did both. I have used three fifty-cent bottles and believe it to be the finest thing for rheumatism, pains and swellings extant." For sale by Derge. Joe Pierre, an aged Frenchman who conducted a pawn shop frequently under the espionage of the authorities at Marysville, was found dead in his shop, bound, gagged and covered with blood. The murderers, whose object was robbery, secreted themselves in his quarters the night before, while he was at a Salvation Army meeting. After vainly searching for the old man's hidden treasure, they tried to force the information from him, beating him atruck their enemies with their fangs. The fight raged for half an hour, a hog retreating for a moment's rest, and then recharging into the midst of the writhing mass, ripping and trampling the snakes until the ground was literally covered with their writhing bodies. At one time the old boar was almost literally covered with snakes, but he didn't appear to care for their bites or the poison. He would reach around, catch it in his jaws, throw it to the ground, and then hold it there with his feet until he tore its body to pieces. This he kept up for half an hour, retreating but once for a breath of air or a brief rest, when back he went at it again. In less than an hour the hogs conquered, not one snake being left alive, except a few which had succeeded in regaining the crevices before the hogs had flanked them. Old John Lake and his boys became so sick from the overpowering smell that they were forced to lie down under the trees, but they were perfectly safe so long as the hogs were about. After vanquishing the army of snakes the porkers laid down among the dead bodies of their enemies until they had sufficiently rested, when they again aroused themselves, and led by the old boar, they began to root up and turn over the rocks, every now and then exposing a rattler which had hidden his body away from his porcine enemies. When a snake was thus exposed there was a rush, and in a jiffy that rattler was torn into little bits too small to recognize. In an hour and a half living snake could be found, and the hogs were to all appearances as sound and hearty as ever. Uncle John then picked up his corn sack and made a trail of corn back to the house, but the hogs did not follow, seeming to prefer the flesh of the snakes to the corn. Ever since then the drove of hogs have remained in the mountains, coming home only to get a change of food, and where once no man dared to tread there is now not a rattle snake to be found. The pigs have cleaned them out. Uncle John says there was not less than 500 rattlesnakes killed in that single fight, and not one hog was hurt. E. C. Zane, superintendent of the Yorck archd., is in jail at Yolo on a charge of duction preferred by one of the most prominent citizens of that town. The young man implicated in the affair is Miss Mary Burke who is at present in a hospital in San Francisco. Miss Burke was highly respected She took a decided interest in religious matters, and was organist of the Method Episcopal Church. It was only known that she had been going with Mr. Zane as she seldom associated with gentlemen Zane and Miss Burke met and enjoyed riding in the evenings, very few being aware that they were even acquainted. The young lady left home a few days ago, saying that she was going to visit friends in Sacramento. But it was afterward learned that she had gone to San Francisco. When the object her trip was make known to her parents they went to Zane and demanded that she marry their daughter and make the other separation in his power, but he refused to do so. The father then called a number of friends together and advised him prosecute Zane and he was arrested and put in jail. Michael O'Donnell brought suit in the justice's court in San Frannisco to recover $275 damages upon rather astonishing allegations which implicate Abraham Newman. On March 15th O'Donnell was pursuing his legal vocation, that of hod carrier on a building on Hayes street. His business was carried bricks from the ground to the top of eighth-story building, where the brick layers were at work. Newman loosened the earth at the foot of the ladder and when he was at the top the ladder slipped and he added the bricks fell the eight-stories. He suffered a number of injuries, chief of which was sprained ankle, from which he is still suffering. He wants $275. MAY 9, 1895. NUMBER 28 when he refused to divulge the hiding place, and fracturing his skull in two places. Despite his secure fastenings, the old fellow struggled hard and long, as his blood be-spattered all the furniture in the room, which was in great disorder. The next morning a box of gold and silver watches and $100 in coin were found in his rooms. The police arrested Stewart Green, alias George Duroy, an electrician, and a barber named Miller. When arrested the latter tried to get his pistol, but was prevented. Green's mistress gave the clue to the authorities. Subsequently Green made a full confession, stating that he and Miller had committed the murder but had got nothing. Miller, in his confession, tried to throw the actual commission of the crime upon Duroy. Threats of lynching were made. A PRETTY PLUM. SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.—Capt. John Howland, a night watchman on one of the city wharves, and his brother, Jotham Howland, a farmer of Napa, will each inherit a large share of $3,000,000 held in trust for them by Mrs. Hetty Green during her lifetime. Mrs. Green's father was Edmund Mott Robinson. The Howlands where nephews of Robinson's wife. Robinson, more commonly known as "Blackhaw" Robinson, was a wealthy dealer in ship stores of New Bedford, Mass. He made a large fortune, over $10,000,000. He left $7,000,000 absolutely to his daughter, Hetty Green, and $3,000,000 was left to her or life, which the remainder after her death the Howland heirs. Robinson had made his first success in life through the assistance of his father-in-law,ideon Howland, and it was gratitude for his that prompted him to make the only return in his power, by remembering his wife's relations in his will. Originally there were even of these heirs, Jotham Howland, father the brothers now living here, Gilbert Howland, Sylvia A'my, Gideon Howland, Joseph Howland, Maria Haskell and Abbyiley. The only survivors of these is Abbyiley. All the others have died, and Hetty Green has out lived them every one. But the money that will be theirs and of which they never have seen a single New England man, she has been turning over and over, lying up the millions into more millions enough all the years. SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS A wagon load of nitro-glycerine, containing 700 quarts, exploded three miles from Blufton, Ind., with a shock that was felt for forty miles.

The company is laying plans to manufacture 100,000 tons of beets into sugar. Felix Ward, who was sent from this county to the State's prison at Folsom about two years ago on a charge of stealing stock, and was subsequently returned for a new trial ordered by the Supreme Court, was last week discharged from custody at Santa Ana.

One after another the difficulties of marketing the fruits of California have been overcome,and the latest accomplishment is one of the most important of them all.The Southern Pacific Company has announced experiment having demonstrated the fact that most fresh fruits may be shipped overland in ventilated cars as good condition as in refrigerator cars;that it and the Union Pacific each will put on 500 ventilated cars for this service by the 1st of July,and that the fast time of five days from coast points to Chicago will be made.As this will do away with $125 a carload heretofore charged for refrigeration,and as with this initial equipment the company expects to forward this season between 4,000 and 5,000 carloads of fruit-growers of the State this year，other things being equal，will be between $500,000 and $625,-600.For its enterprise in this matter the railroad company deserves all praise.

Los Angeles Herald. The contracts recently made at the Watsonville factory illustrate the one-sided kings of the sugar bounty enactment, how it does not accomplish the purposes signed it by those who championed the measure. These contracts pay the farmer 50 per ton for beets under the existing regulations, and then as a stimulus to the treatment favoring the restoration of the county and to enlist the farmers in the cause, stipulated that if the bounty is restored, cents per ton more will be paid. Now, average yield of sugar from a ton of as estimated at about 300 pounds. The two cents per pound paid to theory would give the latter $6 on each 300 pounds. Out of this it is proposed to pay farmer who grows the beets fifty cents, $5 50 to the factory. In other words people of the United States are to pay the beets used by the factories and give the enterprising institutions $1 50 besides, of which the grower will get half a dollar. The design of the bounty act was ostensibly to stimulate beet culture, and the farmers presumably were to be the beneficiaries, the theory being that if the factory were made high the prices that farm-received from the factories would be portionately advanced. But that theoryently is one that failed to take into consideration all the facts appertaining to the action. Power of United Effort Riverside Press. Through the efforts of President Naftzer he exchange in securing from the Inter-Commission the suspension of a clause law governing long distance ships, the railroads are now offering to orders of California seedling oranges a rate cents a box in place of the 90 cent rate before fixed for shipments to Atlantic.

The crop of nextwill be a large one, and it will be wellimportors to see that they will havehot competition to meet from thecan produce, and that there is a waywhich these can reach the New Yorkstats.

McGriffen, who had command of the Chinese ironclad Chin Yuen at the battle of Yalu, arrived in New York from Liverpool. The commander received a number of wounds in the fight, and is still somewhat deaf. He has a tattered uniform of the Chinese navy which he wore on the Chin Yuen during the naval battle. He says it was a stubborn fight, and was lost to the Chinese chiefly because they had no shells to use except iron ones. The Japanese were well supplied with shells, which did great execution. The Chinese shot passed through the enemy's ships without doing any great damage. He believes the Chinese seamen are brave and skillful, and would make good fighters if they could only trust their leaders. The Chinese gunners fired as true as the Japanese, but did not do so much damage on account of the quality of the shot. He had some very narrow escapes during the Yalu battle. At one time he was directly in front of the mouth of a twelve-inch gun on his ship as the gunner was swinging it into place On night he received a telegram announcing that his wife was in jail, awaiting his return. He returned home the next morning and was astounded to learn that on Tuesday night the police made a raid on a disreputable house and captured a number of men and women, among whom was his wife. She had gone to the house in company of a Jover. When told of his wife's infidelity, Perkpile started for the jail. He asked for an interview with her and was taken to her cell. As he approached it she caught sight of him and began to weep hysterically. A flash and the report of a revolver cut short her exclamation. With a piercing scream the woman fell dead on the floor. The jail officers were horror-strenken, and in the confusion Perkpile escaped. No one saw the murderer leave, and no one noticed in what direction he went. Immediately several posses were organized and began a hunt, but no trace of him has yet been secured. The bullet struck the woman's heart. A friend of President Cleveland is authority for the statement that in case he is not nominated for a third term he will take an extended foreign trip soon after he leaves the White House, visiting England, France, Germany, Austria, Italy and Russia. There is no doubt that if the ex-President should go abroad, he will be received in a becoming manner and will be entertained by the sovereigns of the countries he may enter. He will be welcomed as royally by the British Queen as by the Italian King, the French President and the three Emperors. His friend believes that in the event of his going European journey will be of the kind known as "trumphal progress," onward from London, the largest cities; to Paris, the gayest; Berlin the most warlike; Rome, the most ancient; Vienna, the most composite, and St. Peterburg, the unconquerable. There will doubless also be banquets and military reviews in his honor. If Cleveland entertains the purpose attributed to him ought to carry it out promptly at the close of his term, immediately after leaving the Presidential mansion, while yet wrapped in the airs of that far-famed establishment and while yet his name may be remembered in foreign countries. For the name of an ex-President is apt to be soon forgotten by the sovereigns of foreign countries. Operations in building the branch railroad for the Southern Pacific from Monrovia through Covina and Pomona to Riverside have been actively begun. Over 200 laborers and surveyors are in the field. There have been rumors of this intended work for some time, but nothing definite had been known by the public until the past few days. With this new branch the Southern Pacific will have access to every locality in the citrus belt of Southern California, and have the whole of the very valuable beet sugar field at Chino all to itself. For eight years the Santa Fe has had the only road in Pasadena, Riverside and Covina valleys, and has therefore had the lion's share of the business there. Now it will have very lively competition. Last year the Southern Pacific Company bought the Rapid Transit Railroad from Los Angeles to Monrovia by way of Shorbs. It has for weeks been building its line into Pasadena from Shorbs, and now, with this new road from Monrovia through Covina, Pomona, Chino and South Riverside to Riverside, it will have a new route among the orange groves. Superintendent Muir says that the new route will in time be made main or principal route to and from Los Angeles for overland travel from some station near Banning. The new route will avoid several heavy grades, and it will be picturesque and attractive. Mr. Muir believes the new fine will be finished to Riverside by July 1.
