SACRAMENTO. July 29-The case
of Won Va keoburg, the MANAGER OF
the Office in this city, of the Central
Pacific division of the 4. & 2. Tele-
graph Company, who was caught IN
the act of attempting to steal the AS
sociatcd Press dispatches last night,
was called up in the Police Court,
this morning. His bail was raised
from 800 to $1,000, and the case was
continued until to morrow, Sat
urday, at 10 o'clock. Won Valkenburg
did not jump or fall from q balcony,
as stated in q dispatch cent to the Op-
position press of the A & p. Line,
but was held IN the position he was
caught In, until taken in charge by
a policeman. The clip and paper was
taken out of his hand before he was
moved from the position he was found
10.
Two pencils and his bat were picked
up from between the balconies of the
Western office and the one next to
it, where he had crouched ready to
copy the report. His position brought
him within plain hearing of the
sounder in the Office, window ing
open near him. He was first sc q to
come out of the Record Office al d go
direct to the position he occupied on
the balcony, passing up through the
house near the Western Union Office,
and coming ont through the window
on the balcony of the house. which
adjoins that of the Western Union
building, there being a space of two
feet between the balconies where he
took up his position. aud from which
he did not move until detected.
The pistol was fred by Pierson,
the Western Union operator,
merely to intinidate Won Volken-
burg and it had its effect, as he held
up the clip and begged that he would
not kill him. There was no attempt
made to do him any bodily Injury, ex-
cept few lusty kicks administered
by Pierson when he took hold of
him. The opposition line is known
to have been down portion of the
day. yesterday, and up to one O'Clock
this morning; hence, the attempt to
supply the news from more reliable
source at little expense.
