Kennett, a Mining Camp, Gives $3,500 KENNETT (Shasta Co.), April 21 - It is doubtful if any town in the State of the size of Kennett has given anywhere near in proportion to what this place has done.
The Mammoth Copper Company alone subscribed $500 and every miner in its employ has donated one day's pay.
This means that over $3500 in cash will be sent from this small town, in addition to provisions and other supplies.
And what is more, Kennett is not yet done, and if need arises will give even more liberally.
TO SEND HOSPITAL SHIP
VALLEJO (Solano Co.), April 21 - Admiral McCALLA has communicated with the Navy authorities in regard to sending the hospital ship Relief to San Francisco from Mare Island. The ship can hold 500 homeless ones. It is expected the permission will be given.
Vallejo, up to last night, had taken care of about 250 of the refugees.
All the Lodges have subscribed to the relief fund, which now amounts to over $1500.
The Uniform Bank, K of P., has been called by the Mayor for patrol duty, as many undesirable visitors are arriving from San Francisco.
Strict precautions are being taken by the Health Board regarding the admission of anyone afflicted with smallpox, as there are several cases in San Francisco and no quarantine.
PUT FORTH EVERY EFFORT
WOODLAND (Yolo Co.), April 21 - The citizens of this city are putting forth every effort to help relieve the sufferers in San Francisco. Yesterday afternoon a large quantity of provisions were sent, and this morning another lot will be sent. The bakery in this city is turning out all the bread it can.
The two Woodland Rebekah Lodges have appointed Committees to solicit donations. The Chamber of Commerce also held a meeting last night, and is ready to assist Mayor BEAMER in any way it can.
Refugees are arriving on every train from this city in increasing numbers, and are being taken care of by relatives and friends. Many of them have lost everything except the clothes they have on.
CHICKENS, BEANS AND MONEY
LODI (San Joaquin Co.), April 21 - This place has raised about $2,000 for the afflicted and homeless of San Francisco. Thursday night the generous residents of Lodi made up a carload of boiled eggs, bread, cooked chickens and baked beans. It reached Oakland at 10 o'clock this morning.
Finds Brother Held On a Murder Charge RENO (Nev.), April 21 - Mrs. J.N. SHIVELY, a frail little woman with two small children, who arrived here yesterday from Bucyrus, Ohio, learned last evening that Frank EVERETT, the smelting man who shot and killed General Foreman M.E. MALONE at the Mina (Nev.), shops, three days ago, was her only brother.
"I can hardly believe it," she said last evening. "Frank was always a good man, and came from a quiet, good family. He went to Keeler, Cal., to build the smelting plant for the Western Reduction and Smelting Company, and I was coming out to visit him. Now I will have to call on him at the jail."
Word comes from Hawthorne that the State will prefer the most damning evidence against EVERETT. The killing is said to have been cold-blooded and with no provocation. EVERETT followed MALONE around an engine, it is claimed, and shot him through the head because MALONE refused to give him a special train to Goldfield free of charge.
Quiet Spring Now In Boiling State
ELKO (Nev.), April 21 - Great uneasiness has been caused in this vicinity by the strange action of a large hot water spring, 400 feet in diameter, located in the top of an extinct volcano, one mile west of Elko. For years the water has been quiet and clear, but immediately following Wednesday's earthquake it began to boil furiously. The turmoil of its waters still continues, and on the north side of the crater a large section has fallen away. The spring has been frequently sounded and a depth of 1200 feet reached, but no bottom was ever encountered.
Holds Inquest
DAVISVILLE (Yolo Co.), April 21- Coroner KITTO held an inquest here over the body of Jerry HANDLEY, the painter who was found dead yesterday morning, sitting on the steps back of the paint shop, as told in last evening's Bee.
According to the testimony taken, the deceased had been on a spree since last Saturday and had not worked in the meantime. The verdict of the jury was to effect that he came to his death of acute alcoholism. A. sister of the deceased, the wife of E.J. CARRAGHER, of Sacramento, arrived and will care for the remains.
Think They Have Struck Tellurium
YREKA (Siskiyou Co.), April 21 - SEAMAN and MARTIN's Bonanza mine at Fool's paradise, mention of which was made in The Bee a few days since, telling of assays going as high as $850 per ton, is now richer than ever, according to an interview had last evening with Fred MAHLER, owner of the Drummer Boy Mine. He informed The Bee's representative that the ore now being taken out is believed to be tellurium, and if so would probably assay $60,000 to $70,000 per ton.
The output strongly resembles the cripple Creek tellurium ores. The other ores, which adjoin the supposed tellurium, is a decomposed rock and assays, it is claimed, $8,500 to the ton, while the first assays only went $850 to the ton. The owners of the mine now have a tunnel in 150 feet on the vein, which is about five feet thick. Mr. MAHLER says that the ores now on the dump will be sacked and shipped to the Selby Smelter for treatment.
Stood Around and Waited For The Bee
YREKA (Siskiyou Co.), April 21 - The Sacramento Bee is the only outside paper received here with the news of the great earthquake in San Francisco and other towns in California, that has given correct reports of the sad calamity that has befallen the State.
Yesterday's big bundles of Bees did not last long after their arrival, and a thousand more copies could have been sold if they had been on sale.
Yesterday morning's train was late, but large crowds were ready to secure a copy of The Bee, with the latest news of the disaster, and as several hundred copies have been ordered in advance, extra carriers have been engaged to deliver them on their arrival.
The Bee is much sought after and it has so far contained the most correct reports of the earthquake. The citizens appreciate the quick service rendered by its proprietors in the delivery of this important news ten hours ahead of all other State papers.
Wed at McCloud
YREKA (Siskiyou Co.), April 21 - A very pretty wedding took place at McCloud Thursday, at noon, the contracting parties being Ernest E. HARMON, son of John E. HARMON, the well-known livery man of Yreka, and Miss Barbara BURKHALTER, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of M. H. BURKHALTER, the well-known railroad contractor of McCloud.
The happy couple immediately after the wedding left on a honeymoon trip, and after a couple of weeks' travel at sight seeing in Southern California will return to Yreka, where they will permanently reside.
AGED WOMAN ASKS DIVORCE
Is 72 and Husband She Has Wearied of 82, But Years and Wedded State Seem To Count For Naught REDDING (Shasta Co.), April 21 - Mrs. Jane PICKETT, aged 72, filed in Court yesterday an action for divorce from Benjamin PICKETT, aged 82. She alleged failure to provide and neglect as the cause for the action and asked to be allowed to retake her former name of Jane HOVEY.
Her aged and decrepit husband who is almost totally blind, accompanied her to the attorney's office where the complaint was prepared, and said he had no objection to his wife getting a divorce if she wanted one.
The story is a peculiar one. The couple reside in the Whitmore country, a farming district, twenty-eight miles east of Redding. Mr. and Mrs. PICKETT came to this city three or four days ago and have been seen on the streets constantly every day. Their apparent devotion to each other was marked. The husband walked with a cane and was very feeble. Because of his poor vision the wife led him by the hand. They were a picture of devotion. No one would have judged by looking at them that they were any but the happiest of couples. They looked like lovers.
Benjamin PICKETT is a veteran of the Mexican War and of the Civil War. He has resided in Shasta County since early days, following mining in the days when the placers yielded heavily. At one time he was rated the richest man in Superior California. That was when he was a well-to-do farmer living on Cottonwood Creek, in Tehama County. Reverses came, and for the last ten years he has owned and tried to work a small tract in the Whitmore country.
He and Mrs. PICKETT were married twelve years ago, and to all outward appearances they have lived happily together ever since.
Find Asylum Escape in Washington, D.C.
RENO (Nev.), April 21 - Mrs. Patrick WALSH, wife of a Goldfield miner, who escaped from the State Insane Asylum here last August, disguised as a man, and for whom the authorities have been hunting since, has been found in Washington, D.C., and placed under arrest. She may be returned. She claims her husband had her confined because of jealousy and says she is sane.
Albert Rich Dead
FRENCH GULCH (Shasta Co.), April 21 - Albert RICH, a miner aged 40, and employed in the Gladstone, died here yesterday afternoon of tuberculosis. He is supposed to have a bother (sic) and sister living in Oregon. He was buried here this afternoon.
