4 FRED WICHERS' THREATS. Some Testimony Heard in the Walnut Grove Scandal. Charge That the Prosecution Was to Help Ont a Divorce Wichers' Cliaracter. The examination of Frederick Wichers, the well-known butcher of Walnut who is charged by his wife with having threatened her life, took place yesterday beforo Justice of the Peace Henry. Wichers are very well-known in the community in which they reside, and their troubles have kept the people down there agog for some timo.

Besides the score or more of witnesses frhat came up from Walnut Grove to testify in the there was a still larger influx of persons who simply wanted to hear what "was going on through curiosity. The result was the courtroom was crowded all day, which, added to tiie sultriness, made the room decidedly uncomfortable. Wichers was represented by Major W. A. Gett, while Deputy District Attorney Utickley appeared lor Mrs.

Wichers. The latter had employed Grove L. Johnson to assist in the prosecution of her husband, but that gentleman was out of the city. thi: WIPE'S stokv. Mrs.

Aflie Wichcrs, the complaining Wife, was the lirst witness. She said shelived at Walnut Grove. On the -Fourth of.July last she went into the house to tell him about a neighbor who had beeu hurt, when he turned upon her, drew a pistol and said: you, I'll blow your bead oft!" She turned and ran out of tho house and he chased" her, "but she escaped. The witness declared at first that she did not know that her bust aud was angry at her, or what it was about. Rigid questioning by Major Gett, however, Drought out the fact that some time before the threats, Wichera had driven up the road in his team and did not return ms soon as his wife thought he should.

Bhe started after him then, and found the team moored to a wayside saloon. Bhe took charge of the team and drove it home. Wichera saw what she did, she said, but did not appear to be angry at her. she was quite sure that shed: I not get angry herself. the way home tlie team ran away and injured a neighbor of hers, it was when Bhe "went to tell her husband about this accident that he drew the pistol ou her.

TIIK ARI.tST. Attorney Gett tried to get the witness to tell what her husband was angry al out When he threatened to shoot her, but she insisted that she did not know. She said, however, that he looked "vicious" and "murderous," and must nave beeu mad. It was nine days alter the alleged threats When she saw her lawyer and had Wic hersarrested. After the sth of July she lived and slept in the same house with her husband, and ale at the same table with him ami their children.

Divorce papers were served on him the same day that he was En answer to some more questions from Judge Buckley, the complainant said that since Wicbers' arrest she had received a letter from him. in which he again threatened to kill her. This letter was in the bauds of Grove L. Johnson, however, and could not bo produced in court, that gentlemen being out of the city. She explained that she did not have her husband arre-ted right away because she intended to leave him and drop the matter afterward.

However, she came to the conion that he intended to carry out his threats; then she bad him arrested and commenced proceedings lor divorce. HAD A PISTOL. Mrs. J. R.

Kercheval, who resides across the river from Walnut Grove, was with Mrs. Wichers when she went into tho house to tell her husband about the Mrs. Wichers came running out, crying "He's going to shoot me!" Then the witness saw Mr. Wichers at tlie front door with a pistol in his baud. He looked quite angry at the time and said something about his wife having insulted him.

Dee Hing Wav, a Chinese of Walnut Grove, was at the Wichers' hou-c When the alleged Fourth of July rumpus took place. He heard "some talkee," but "didn't know what's malla." He (saw no pistol. Wichers had gone to gat gome meat, and when he returned he was excited. William Fitzgerald saw Mrs. Wichers ruu out of her house and saw her husband follow her as far as tlie front door With a pistol in his hand.

Wichers stopped at the door and said you, I'll shoot you!" The witness was outside ot the house at the time. The Witness insisted that he felt quite friendly toward Wichers, but right alter the latter had chased his wife with the pistol, tho Witness said to Louis Kercheval that Wichers should be hanged. WOULD HAVE HA.MiKD HIM. "Did you feel like hanging him?" asked Major Gett. "Yes, at that time, I'd have hung him quick," replied the witness.

The court admonished tiie witness to be careful about his language and he promised he would. "Did you think that was a good way to regulate things down there?" asked the Major. "Yes, a pretty good way," replied Fitzgerald. "And you feel very friendly toward Wichers?" "Oh, yes." The Witness denied that he was organizing any Ku-klux movement at altiut Grove. James L.

Kercheval went into the Wichers house after the rumpus, and heard Wichers say to a Mrs. Kelly that he "would fix her." He bad a talk with ohers subsequently, and the latter spoke very disparagingly ol his wife. A. A. MeColloch was "called to the witness stand and asked regarding some alleged threats made by Wichers against his wife in February last.

TIIK MAJOR WARMS up. This elicited a warm speech from Major Gett. He said be objected strongly to the rs were taking. He then produced a copy of the divorce complaint Jiled in the Superior Court by Mrs. wichers, and showed that in it Wichers was charged with threatening his wife in February.

The complaint in which Wichers was now on trial charged that he threat! his wife in July last. Tiie Major 1 that the prosecution trying to "ring in" testimony in this case be used in the divorce trial. The court was being imposed upon. Henry Baid could not take judicial notice of the divorce ease, as there Mas no evidence about it. He though, that the defense could uut in denoe about it to show the motive for the prosecution.

He wound up by ing the objection. A recess was then aken until 2 o'clock. MOTIOX TO At the afternoon session Mr. Buckley explained that he was ready to close for i the prosecution, with the exception of one more witness, who had been subpenaed from San Francisco, but who had not put in an appearance. Mr.

Buckley said probably a statement of what this witness would testify to would be adj mitted by the defense." Major Gett objected to this, but said a deposition could be put in after the defense had gotten through. Mr. Buckley did not want to proceed without the absent witness' testimony. After some argument an amicable course was agreed upon, it being decided to admit Kelly's evidence alter the deten had gotten through. Major Gett then moved tliat the proceedings ne dismissed.

The threatening of "tie's liie is not a public offense under the law, he ud. The offense bad simply been threatened. Put under the law a person who makes such threats may be examined, and if the court has just reason to believe that the threats are liable to be carried out lie may order T.he person making the threats placed under bonds to keep the peace. Unless such a belief is arm ed at the defendants must be discharged. If Wichers was guilty of anything, said the attorney, it was of disturbing his wife's peace.

Mr. Buckley disputed this. He said it was true that Wichers might be guilty of a disturbance of the peace, but he "was also guilty under the evidence so fur of threatening commit murder. The court denied the motion to dismiss. Wlrif Kits' CIIARACTKK.

J. L. Kercheval was called by Mr. Gett, and testiiied that he had known Wichers for ten years, and knew that ids reputation for peace and quiet was good. Charles Gyrmann said he was at the "Dow-drop" saloon on the -ith of July, when Mrs.

Whlcber's came there and took her husband's team. Be was playing crib with Wichers. Wichers was not under tbe intluenee of liquor. Wickers bore a good reputation at Walnut Grove. Mrs.

Wichers ran the butcher business there he said, aud her husband worked for her. John Miller said he met Wichers on the evening of the Fourth of July, shortly ailer the family row. The witness passed Mrs. Wichers on the road driving the team, and a little later met Wichers walking. The witness saw that Wichers was mad because he had to walk home.

Before leaving the stand the witness testified that Wichers bore a irood tiou. PI IMPBAOHEP. Alexander Brown testiiied that the witness Fitzgerald told him he was not sure whether ichers Baid to his wife: ought to shoot you," or "I will shoot you." Fitzgerald said, however, that it came to swearing in court he would say that it was the latter statement. On camination Brown said be bought out the Wichers butcher so as to gel them out of neighborhood aud stop their fighting. Mrs.

Wichers had been divorced from her husband once but remarried him. Deputy Constable William Brissel was next called by Mr. Gett, lor the purpose of showing that he was employed by rs. Wichers to dig up not for the case on hearing, said the attorney, but for the coming divorce case. The prosecution objected, and Mr.

(-et. went on another tack. In answer to his questions Brissel said he was in the employ of Mrs. Wichers to protect her and her property. "Do you hire yourself out as a lighting man?" asked Major "If you've a mind to put it that yes," repiied Brissel.

"i don't think you ought to insult people, though," he added, shaking his linger at the young attorney. "I'm not insulting people," said Mr. Gett, with emphasis on the last word. Brissel said he was with Mrs. Wichers a great deal, but did not have to do any fighting for ber.

She was airaid Wichers would kill her, but did nothing. William Holttum testified that Wichers' reputation was good aud tlie prosecution admitted that E. Dann. Neal McQueen, Mrs. Clara H.

Lord, Mrs. 8. S. Sharp, Richard Bramlet, Henry Lufkins, O. A.

Lindsey, Sperry Dye, William Armstrong and A. C. Wiiey would give similar testimony. These wituesses were therefore excused without having to testify. Tho defense then rested, and as the prosecution was not ready to proceed lurther, a coutiuuance was taken until the Huh of this month.

Chairman Greer reported that the bridge at Folscm was found to be a good, itanttal structure, and, in the opinion oi the examiners, amply strong enough for any load that it might be necessary to 1 place upon it. EIGHT-HOUR LAW. A representative of the Council of Fe Icated Trades, a Mr. Harvey, appeared before the board and called attention to the (act that the for the construe: tion of the Folsoni bridge omitted to provide that tiie work should bei one on the -Of eight hours ior a day'- labor, lie claimed the law required that all contracts for Mate, city or county work should contain such provision. Harvey s.bd the District Attorney had informed him that such a provision shouid be inserted.

hairman Greer said the District Att rney had prepared or passed upon the contract and he supposed It to be correct, Mr. Harvey said the Omission was an oversight on the part of lh it official, and while he did nol hold that the omiasion invalidated tiie contract, it was desired that the board should henceforth see that provision is inserted in all future contracts. Several members of the board expressed their views on the subject, and ail agreed that the terms o. the statute should be followed in the future, even If it could not now be done iv the present I iustauce.

Chairman Greer replied that the matter bad heen discussed somewhat, but the board had not yet concluded just what it could do in the matter.

He thought, however, that there would be ample time to act in the matter, as tration would not close late "in October. Ho believed It would be early enough to send clerks out In September. Supervisor Bates was of the same opinion. "You givo these men fifteen tents per name," said he, "and I tell you they'll hunt up everybody in the outside precincts in short The remainder oi' the day was to tho examination and auditing of accounts against the county. Tho board then adjourned for tho session.

In answer we quote from The ancients believed that there was a certain kind of mineral substance in existence by means of which all tue common metals could be turned to gold. This was called the philosopher's stone, and Uie alchemists of classic times and during the middle ages spent much time and labor in search of this wonderful substance. Of course, since nothing of the kind ever existed, it was never found; but it is wortii remembering tiiat some of the most notable inventions were disc ered in this vain search, lt was in looking for the philosopher's stone that the German chemist Botticher stumbled upon the secret of making the Lcauiimi Dres- den porcelain. Bacon in the same I way discovered the composition of gunpowder; Geber found the properties of acids; Van Helmont discoverod the nature of gas, and Dr. Glauber found the secret of making salts, used as medicine, which now bear his name.

In the narrow channel at the southern entrance to the Red Sea there is an island called Perim, which is British soil. On the opposite shore on a cliff lloats the flag of Turkey over Arabian soil.

On another opposite shore is the boundary between French and Italian soil on the Red and over which float the flags of tiiose nations. From Perim or from the elifis referred to all four flags can be seen at once. We do not know of another place that will till the bill of your question. Even then it is net exactly true, as the soils are not those of the' nations named, but are acquired foreign foot; holds. SLAVERY EXISTS IN PERU.

Take, lor instance, an established chacra or hacienda any hacienda. According to law the i Ind.an is a freeman. Certainly. Also, according to law, no mestizo or leave the place where he has contracted a debt until he has paid it, if his creditors choose to enjoin (embarger) him.

Now it happens that tho Indians are aii and always heavily in debt to the owner of the chacra where they live, aud said owners do choose to enjoin them, Wherefore, concludes Harper's Magazine; the Indian remains perually embargoed. When the young Indian has grown large enough to do What may be regarded as a man's work he enters service. He receives the habitual recompense of nine soies per month. On this sum he cannot live. The master knows it, the Indian knows it; but wdiat is to be done when such is the established stipeud throughout the and breadth of the valley? The is.

Consider another phase of the matter. If a man desires to establish a new hala he can obtain all the land he may need by simply "denouncing" it indue il form, occupying and building a se on it: but he cannot secure labory spreading the rumor of his wishes iand summoning a crowd ol applicants from Much toonoose. For this he must repair to some well-stocked hacienda where there are Indiann to si are, pay the ts ofsneh as ho selects, thereby transhe Indian with his its attendant bond of servitude from one :i.a^ter to another.
