Monday afternoon the man Lundy,

and who after being released on that
charge was arrested and bound over
for theft, Induced the officials To allow
him to go out under guard to see If he
could not procure bond, and 10 see
some friends. AT least that was his
pretext for wishing 20 get out. His re-
quest was granted, and in company
with Mat. Scott, one of the guards, he
came up town. Reaching the Mer~
chants restaurant he invited Scott in
TO take upper, and told the guard he
would, gDs back and order IL. Scott
stood in front, ami allowed him to go
back in the Kitchen for that purpose.
In few minutes Mr.. Smith, one ofthe
proprietotsii asked Scott where his
man was. lie said .'he is back order
ing supper" Smith then said, al
wouldn't lose sight of him" Scott
then went to the corner, and caught
sight OF his man just turning the corner
by the Pacific track. He had gone
through the kitchen, out the back
door and broke and run for the tins Der
north Of town. Scott caught sight of
him just in time, aud followed in pur-
suit. Evidently, Lundy thought when
he got into the timber that he was not
followed, for he Stacked his pace, but
Scott Kept up his gait and overhauled
him about three-quarters Of mile
from town. brought him back aud
landed him safely in the cage again,
where, doubtless, he will remain till

Perpetual Harvest.

We last week witnessed the queer
spectacle of strawberry patch grow
ing in the open air a week before
Christmas. The garden is located
about six miles above the town of So
Santa Cruz. A Mr.. Thompson is the
owner of the ranch, and he informed
us that at any day or month in the
year he could go into the patch and
gather at least twenty quarts of the
luscious berries in short time. He
now has in cultivation 1000 vines,
which occupy half an acre of ground
and from these heha gathered dur
ing the past year 5000 quarts of the
large crimson beauties. Half of this
quantity he sold in the local markets at
an average of twenty cents quart,
and the other half he gave away to his
neighbors, as there was no demand
for them from buyers. Blossoms,
green and flaming red-Tipe berries
smile and look sedate and blush side
by side the hole year through, on the
same vine. This certainly is equal, if
not superior, to the ancient and tabled
land that flowed with milk and honey.
Now let us see if his crop pays him.
To start with, they are not as much
trouble,to cultivate asa patch of string
beans would be then at an average
of twenty cents a quart, the half
acre of ground would net him $500
per year. Not only Strawberries,
but this gentleman has also a fine
orchard Of peach and.other fruit trees
which are very promising.
