> STOCKTON, Sept. S.— Joseph Bergman,
a saloon man of this city, "was found on
El Dorado street early this morning, suf
fering from a wound over the right eve,
and as he had a pistol In his hand at the
time with two chambers emptied, it was at
first thought he had made an attempt on
his life. Later developments have ren
dered it necessary to look Into the matter
by the police.
It Is asserted that he had trouble with «i
man and that the party knocked him
down. Bergman, who was very drunk,
fired two shots and some suppose that It
was intended by him to defend himself.
He has no fecollection of the affair to
day. The case will be investigated thor

SAN DIEGO. Sept. 8.— In an address be
fore the Chamber of Commerce William
K. Smythe, one of the vice presidents of
the California Forest and Water Asso
ciation, said that the great trouble with
irrigation in California was that the laws
were the most ill stifled to the State of
any that could be imagined. The State
was inhabited in early days by those who
came from States where irrigation was
not necessary in mining for gold and the
laws were formed with the idea that the
agriculturist did not need the water in
the streams and that all that it was good
for was for the placer miner.
The laws of to-day should be framed for
almost an opposite purpose.. The placer
miner has so far gone out of business
that it is not his interest that is para
mount and the agriculturist does need tha
water of the streams In order to exist.
Mr. Smythe declared aridity was so far
from being a curse to a State or a sec
tion that it was an absolute blessing if
water could be procured for irrigation.
A branch of the general association,
which is formed for the purpose of trying
to get new irrigation and water right laws
for the State, is to be organized here.

Cliang-es Are Needed in California.

SAN JOSE, Sept. 8.— The recent dis
patches from the East stating: that the
California Cured Fruit Association is giv
ing foreign buyers an advantage over the
Eastern jobbers is not worrying the offi
cers of the association, who believe
they will have no trouble in disposing of
the crop. In an interview to-day Presi
dent Bond said: "We are not running the
association for the benefit of the Eastern
jobber, but for the benefit of the Cali
fornia grower. California packers can
handle the export trade direct .from here
better than the Eastern buyers. The
habit of the packers of New York to take
California prunes, process them, pack
them with the large ones on top and filling
the bottom with small, inferior fruit, has
discredited California prunes abroad. By
handling the foreisn trade from here our
close inspection will compel only the ship
ping of the best fruit. In order to com
pete with the foreign grower prunes will
be sold in Hamburg for J ,« cent less than
here. But they don't get this reduction
until we are patisfied the goods have been
taken out of bond, and cannot be re
shipped to this country without paying
the foreign duty. This can in no way
hurt the Eastern jobber, for they cannot
come in competition with him.
"The statement that we do not control
the prune crop is all bosh. The associa
tion has over 90*,)cr cent of the crop and
nearly all of that outside the association
has passed Into the hands of packers who
will not sell below the association prices.
"If we can sell from 500 to 1000 tona in
the foreign market it will reduce the
stock on hand and the association will be
enabled to get more for those on hand.
The plaJat of the Kastern jobber will cut
no figure with our prices, for the associa
tion will maintain those set and the
grower is the one who will be benefited."

BLOODHOUNDS
ON THE TRAIL
OF MURDERER
The bullet ' badly shattered the wind

Both Mr. and Mrs. Bullard ran from the
building, and a few seconds after two
frhots were heard in the saloon, and when
the officers arrived on the scene Bassman
was discovered lying in a pool of blood in
a dying condition. He had a bullet-hole
through his head and the revolver with
four chambers empty lying by his side.
Mrs. Rullard was removed to her home
rind everything possible is beins done to
save her life.
The tragedy occurred in the Chicago sa
loon and chophouse on Second street, con
ducted by the principals In the tragedy-
Messrs. Hassnyin and Bullard. There had
been ill-feeling between the partners for
some time, each one thinking the other
was robbing him. This morning about 10:30
Mrs. Billiard; who lives just across the
street from the chophouse, called and got
several pieces of cooking utensils, which
she intended using at home. As she was
leaving the chophouse Bassman attempted
to stop her, and when Mr. Bullard inter
fered Bassman whipped out a revolver
and fired two shots at him, one of them
grazing his face and making an ugly
wound. Bassman then turned the weapon
on Mrs. Bullard and fired, the shot pass
ing through her neck, Uurely missing the
jugular vein. . .
RENO. Kev., Sept. S.— A tragedy was
enacted this morning in this city, and as a
result one man is dead, a woman is at
death's door; with a bullet-hole through
her throat, and her husband is detained at
the County Jail, powder burned and
scared, awaiting a hearing of the case.
A Coroner's inquest was held this after
noon and brought forth the following
facts. Dr. Phillips was called and testi
iied as to the condition of the wound of
the dead man, saying that it would bo
very easy for a person to self-inflict such
a wound, and described how it could be
done. M. A. Billiard was then placed on
the stand and testified as follows:
"Baseman and myself opened the Chi
caso chophouse some two months ago,
and until to-day our business relation's
have been of the most pleasant character. |
Myself and wife had rented the Hewlett'
lodging house at the corner of Second
ami Center streets, and Mrs. .Bullard came
to the chophouse just before the tragedy
and asked for some dishes and cooking
utensils she wished to use.
"These were delivered to her. and as she
was j-bout to leave Bassman jumped from
his seat In the rear of the establishment
and essayed to stop her. 1 was behind
the bar at this time, and stepped forward
and asked what the trouble was, where
upon Bassman drew a revolver and fired
two shots at me. He then shot my wife
through the throat and finished up by
sending a bullet through his own brain,
causing almost instant death. As far as
1 know the whole trouble occurred
through by wife asking to take dishes and
cooking utensils to use in the lodging
house. Bassman <V>Jected and said they
belonged to him and then started shoot
ing."
Otto Hartung was called and testified in
substance that he met Bullard as he
rushed from the house, and after his exit
two more shots were heard in the room
Miss Quinn was culled and substantiated
the testimony of Uartung. The case be
ins: clear to the jury they returned a
verdict of suicide.

ary hearing of J. E. King, charged with
the murder of S. H. Church at Two Rock
on July '2?i last, was commenced berore
Judge Rodden here this morning at 10:30
o'clock. King, through his attorneys,
Lennon & Hawkins, won first blood. At
torney Lennon objected to the sufficiency
of the complaint on the sround that it

with murder and haying S. L. Stice swear
to it. King was rearreated by Sheriff
Taylor in the courtroom. The preliminary
hearing- was then proceeded with.
The lirst witness was the complainant,
S. L. Stlce, son-in-law of the deceased.

shooting he found King at the barn
watering his horses and that he ordered
him away; that when he and Church'
afterward went to nail up the well near
King's camp they had a tew mbre words
and King- snot Church and took a shot at
him as he ran away. The defence called
many of the prosecution's witnesses and
drew their lire.
Ueorge Armstrong, who searched the de
serted camp after tne shooting, could only
find one empty rifle shell, and Sheriff
Grace of honoma testified that when he
took possession of King's l">-shot rltie it
contained fourteen loaded shells.
Ainqng other witnesses called wer^Mer
man Church. Mrs. Laura Stice. John Hen
shaw and Dr. .George lvancovitch. Her
man Churcn testified that his father wis

He was contradicted in this bv his sis
ter, Mrs. l^iura Stice, who testified that
he was fully conscious until his death.

Latin while describing the 3eath wound
of the deceased. The cas« was submitted

ADVERTISEMENTS.
Is more common than we may think, if
we define gluttony as eating beyond the
bodv's need of sustenance and beyond
the "stomach's capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food. That is a fair
definition, and it fastens the name glut-
ton on many a person who -would resent
the term as an insult. The fact of this
gluttony is marked by its consequences.
The overloaded stomach becomes dis-
eased. The popular term for the condi-
tion is "weak" stomach. The «weak r
; stomach fails in furnishing adequate nu-
trition for the body, and soon the "weak-
ness " spreads from the stomach to other
organs.
