A Run for Life.

y runaway four-horse team attached
to heavy hay-wagon created u pro-
found sensation on Main street yester-
day. They started somewhere on the
upper end of the street, and as they
came tearing down were very near
running upon Mr.. Rabe, who was
driving along in advance Of them with
light buggy, in which were seated
with him his wife and child. Seeing the
danger and not being able to turn out,
as the street was crowded with teams,
Mr.. Rabe put his horses to their best
speed and managed to keep his dis
tance ahead Of the runaways, making
very lively and interesting race. At
length finding convenient place be-
low Court street, he drove to ore side
and the other team went careening by,
narrowly missing his vehicle, but leav-
ing it with its occupants unharmed.
Mrs. Rabe was 50 severely effected
by the fright that she went into a
hysteric fit and suffered intensely for
a time, her screams being audible for
blocks around. She was resuscitated,
however, Oh receiving proper atten-
tions from those who were conven-
iently at hand. The runaway team
kept their course down the street, and
were finally stopped by Mexican
without doing any serious damage.

EDITOR HERALD: Your cores
pondent, "Lex.," in this mornings
HERALD, in an article on the McDon-
aid case, says: "The corpus deficit
(the crime) was not proved on account
of the name of the party killed being
Eliza instead of Louisa, as set out in
the indictment. Now it is scarcely
expected that the District Attorney
should seek the purlieus of the city or
county to find the correct name of the
party. He makes out the Indictment
from the evidence at the COrOner's in
quest and the witnesses who appear
before the Grand Jury. In no wise
can he be to blame for u misnoner"
Now in the above article LEX"
either makesa statement about which
he knows nothing, or makes wilful
misrepresentation in attempting to
saddle the odium upon the Coroner of
giving an incorrect name to Mrs.
Eliza Mcdonald in the Indictment
against Mcdonald for numbering her.
If LEX" will go into the County
Clerks Office, where the Coroner's re-
ports of inquisitions are fled he will
find the papers, inclsding the inquisi-
tion by Coroners Jury and the Coro-
ner's certificate of death of Mrs. Eliza
Mcdonald, in both of which her name
is distinctly given as Eliza Mcdonald,
and in no case does it occur as Louisa
or any other name but Eliza.

Forgery.

Last Saturday man representing
himself as Edward w. Fulmer, in
dulged in o rather smart mercantile
transaction in this place, which fur
nished him pocket money for the
time and will doubtless secure him
board and employment for consider
able period in the future. After bank
ing hours on Saturday he presented
himself at the Bottle Beer saloon on
Main street, which is kept by Mr.. Bu-
benreeth, and desired to negotiate u
check for S10G on Temple & Work
mans Bank, ostensibly drawn by II.
J. Hellman in favor of Fulmer or
bearer. He succeeded in getting $50
advanced, leaving the check in pawn
and promising to call and redeem it
on the Monday following. Monday
came and went, and Mr.. Fulmer failed
to put in his expected appearance;
when, having his suspicious aroused,
Mr.. Bubenreeth instituted inquiries
concerning his collaterals and found
the check to be forgery. He imme-
diately made his case known to the
authorities and Detective Officer Emil
Harris was delegated the task of
looking up the forger. When Harris
really.sets out to catch thief he gem
orally does it, be the culprit a Vas
quez or q purloining Chinaman. AT
ter making some cations, Harris
found that the perpetrator ofthe forgery

way to Bakersfield. He Immediately
telegraphed Sheriff w. X. Bowers of
that place to arrest his man; and on
the arrival of the stage Fulmer found
a friend expecting him whose hOspi-
tality he was compelled to accept.
Sheriff Bowers telegraphed in response
that he had arrested J. Mckinney,
atlas Fulmer, and held him for the
Los Angeles authorities. Yesterday
Deputy Sheriff Redona started for
Bakersfield, and is expected to return
tomorrow, bringing with him the
business man of sharp practices. Full
mer had been employed here for some
time in the Alameda Market on Main
street, kept by Mr.. Nc Donald. That
gentleman has some charges to prefer
against the rascal for embeZzlement or
obtaining money under false pretenses.
While working in McDonald's s market
it seems that he had collected num-
ber of his employers bills and re-
tanned the money. There is a very
fair prospect, at least, that Mckinney
or Fulmer, whichever he pleases, will
live and move and have his being for
a term of years in San Quentin-un-
less there is q mistake in the indict.

Charles Miller, knight of the grid
iron and John George Pradiger, pur-
veyor to the public appetite, both of
ficiating artists in Mr.. Fritz's restaur-
ant, were before his honor, Judge
Gray yesterday to have n difficulty
adjusted Pradiger accused Miller of
assault and battery, and according to
his testimony it appeared that he was
within fraction of having his head
caved in by the villainous cook; while
Miller's evidence equally candid, went
to show that he had merely placed his
fingers on Pradigar's nose. The JUS
tice will decide which was correct and
will render his decision this morning.
The efforts of the Librarian to Sc
cure new members for the Library AS
ISOLATION during the past month have
resulted in enrolling thirty-two names
as members, and the consequent addi-
ton of $50 to the treasury through the
medium of membership fees. This
favorable record evinces the popularity
of our city library and creditable
disposition on the part of the people
TO sustain it. There is no institution
III our city, not excepting our excel
lent public schools, that is calculated
to reflect more credit upon this COM
munity than is this excellent library.
Its management is in the hands of an
able public spirited Board of Trustees,
which embraces dozen or more of
our best citizens, who feel a just pride
in its success and healthy growth. All
that is lacking to give a boundless
scope to its field of usefulness is for
the City Coupcil to grant it the ma
terial aid which the late Enabling Act
of the Legislature authorizes and
which meets almost the universal APP
prOYal of the taX.paYers of this city.

A Much Needed Law.

EDITOR HERLAD: There has been
much said and written during the
past two days about the Mcdonald
trial. This case is only one of many.
1t is really becoming monotonous and
will continue to increase until the
proper remedy is applied. One act, if
passed by our Legislature, would eff
fectually cure this evil. 1t should
read something like the following: =,
"Be it enacted, etc, That if any Of
ticer elected or appointed to fill an
office shall, through ignorance or neg
lect, fail to perform all the duties of
the office which he has been elected
or appointed to fill, and when it shall
be proven that the commonwealth or
any individual of the commonwealth,
has suffered damage by such ignor~
ance or neglect of any officer, the
office filled by such officer shall be de-
clared vacant by the Board of Super
visors in the county where said office
is held, and an election ordered to fill
said Office" etc.
A bill passed embodying the ideas
above would cure all neglect and pre-
vent mistakes by our public servants.

Dear this city, os,epsbly on visit to her friends

her father was summoned to her deathbed but
before bis arrival the body was shiuped to
Cincinnati, aud thence to Miamitowu. DR. Hit,
who attended her, said she died of iuh IN ma,
ton of the bowels. Suspicion of foul play
we're aroused, but Dothing was done until the
funeral was progressing.
While the remains we're in the church the
excitement increased, and the ceremonies were
stopped. jury was mpanoeled and an ln-
quest held on the spot. About midnight the
examination of Witnesse was concluded. The
church was then cleared and post mcrlem
examination made, which proved that Belle
Werts' death had been caused BY an abortion.
The examining physicians state that it was a
buugipg and brutal operation, and must have
resulted 10 speedy death, as The body was ter
rbly lscerated The jury returned verdict
10 accordance with the facts, aud charging DR..

shows that the Southern members generally

passage of the resolution. The effect of yes
terday's vote on the various improvement pro-

it is commonly regarded as disastrous. The
friends of the james River and Kauawha can
al, and of the Southern Pacific Railroad, are
not disheartened; however.
