Have Been Innorejit. San Francisco, Aug. 13.-- One of the most remarkable cases ever tried in the superior court of Sonoma caunty has just been revealed to the public. Some time ago David Parks, who lives near Eloomtield, was swindled by the ancient gold-bric- dodge. A man calling himself W. L. Bean. Shaw and a number of aliases was arrested at San Francisco as the supposed swindler. Ho visited Talks' ranch previous to the swindle and conversed with several neighbors and spent considera-ble time at Parks's residence. He also had stopped a few days After his arrest at San Fran-cisco he was identified by the victim, Parks, and a number of neigh-bors. This man was W. L. Bean. The trial of the case lasted over a week. Parks and some of the neighbors, some of whom are the best known men in the county, testified that they were certain that Bean was the man who swindled Parks. 'The proprietor of the Peta-luirr- a Hotel identified Bean, who had registered under the name of Miller at tho hotel just before tho swindle was perpetrated. Every witness called was positive that the prisoner was t he. man who defrauded Parks. The prisoner protested his inno-cence, and had a large number of depo-sitions from New York, St. Paul and Boston to show that he was not iu Cali-fornia when Parks was swindled. It was tho general impression that a fraud was practiced to procure the deposi-tions, and the evidence was so clear .that Bean was the right man that the jury stood six for conviction against six for acquittal. Bean has a crook in his linger, and was identified as to that particular. His peculiar demeanor while on trial was such as to aid in a conviction. His case was so peculiar in its nature that District Attorney Burnett, after tho trial, went east to test the validity of the depositions. He visited St. Paul, Boston New York, and found everything true as stated in tho deposi-tions. The witnesses, who were reli-able men, recognized Bean's photograph and exhibited nis signature on different hotel registers. Nothing is known of his occupation in the east. That he will be discharged from custody is now almost a certainty. WHYTHETARE THERE." A Curious Combination Get Together in a State Convention and Eesolve. FAVOR TREE COINAGE OF SILVER. They also State They are Hostile to Trusts and Monopolies and Every-thing Burdensome. Colcmbis, O., Aug. 13. Special. A state convention composed of dele-gates representing the farmers alliance, the grange, patrons of industry, far-mers league and farmers mutual benefit association convened here today. The convention is thoroughly representative of the farming interests of the state. The chairman in his address declared that the convention had not been called to boom any particular hobhy, or in the interests of any political party but purely in the interest of a depressed in-dustry. He was pleased to preside over a convention representing societies hav-ing a membership of over 50,0'JO of the farmers of the state. The convention is composed of 800 delegates but there are about 4000 farmers in tho hall. The platform adopted declared in favor of the united action of all farmers societies, advocated the free coinage of silver, indorsed the Butterworth bill, declared hostility to ail class legislation, trusts and monopolies, demanded a reduction of the fees and salaries of county and state ollicers, demanded an amendment of the tax laws of the stato so that mortgaged farms should not bo taxed at full value, and compelling manu-facturers to list all their finished pro-ducts for taxation, and declared in favor of a better school book bill than the Geyer law passed last winter. For more than a year there has been a new force developing in the politics of the stato, Heretofore the farmers of tho state have been slow to leave the old parties or take any concerted action in their own in-terest. 'The granger and greenback movement alike failed to arouse in them the enthusiasm excited among the farmers of many of the newer states. But the business depression they have experienced during the past few years has been preparing them for an appeal to the voters, and nereafter the farmers may be oxpected in many parts of Ohio to act as a unit in supporting men and measures favorablo to them. The strength of the present movement lies in its alleged character. It appeals to the farmer more power-fully than any previous attempt of tjiis kind. THEY ARE FRANTIC.

The would-b- e assassin stopped from a dark alley, and with the words, "Old mail, I've got you now!" dealt his vic-tim a tremendous blow nu the head with a blunt instrument, felling him to tho ground and ren-dering him' unconscious. Tho scoun-drel made his escape in the darkness and the police havo as yet been unable to get any trace of him. Mr. Bertin-shaw is a highlv respected citizen and the father of Charles H.

Elizabeth, N.J., Aug. 13. An elec-tion iu the Piatt Deutsche Verein at ColumbU hall today caused excitement not only among the members of the org t.iization but among the citizens generally. A split occurred recently in the Piatt Deutsche Verein, which is one of the largest societies in the city, by reason, it is alleged, of the growth of socialistic, and anarchistic ideas among its members. The conserva-tives, being in a majority, seceded, and accompanied by the president aud secretary established themselves at their headquarters in the city assem-bly rooms. They also took with them the flags and other property belonging to tho organization. The minority at once instituted an action to recover these articles, but Judge Cross settled the contest temporarily by declaring he would retain the flags in his own pos-session, until after the result of today's election should be made known. As the conservatives are in the majority their candidates are certain of election. The radical element has been thor-oughly angered by their failure to se-cure the fiags and they are in a desper-at-- j mood. Within tho past few days ihf.j have had several skirmishes with the police, and by their riot-ous conduct they have thoroughly alarmed the citizons. The victory has not in each encounter been claimed by tho police. In one fierce battle they were routed and some officers were seriousiv injured. If the conservatives should triumph at the election, and as they are" in the majority, they will do so, 'unless they are intimidated, the an-archist wing will probably attempt some depredations. Timid citizens are leav-ing the city, and the police are prepar-ing to quell any disturbance that may occur. riRICMF.M OKDMir.l) OCT. They Slop Work on Orders From Their Headquarters. Albany, N. Y..
