sen, teamster, was-killed by his swa mper
man named Wassam. The latter reached
Mojave last night The following is his
story "They were one day and half out
OF Borax Station, Death Valley, bound for
Mojave with borax. The mules had been
baking and punching and Bryson was in

one wagon and returned for the second.
Wassam cooked dinner and called Bryson

He then told Wassam to open q can of
tongue. The a,ter turned and stopped to
him by the throat and attempted to stab
him. Wassam succeeded In catching his
hand, and after hard struggle, broke away
and ran around the wagon, with Bryson in
pursuit. Wassam, as he turned ole corner
OF the wagon, found a shovel and, as Bry-
son came up In pursuit, struck him on the

Wassam buried the body in his blankets,
camped that night and started the next
morning with the team. rhe mules punched

A CITY Van Wanted.

The spectacle yesterday on our streets OF
a policeman on horse back leading man
by handouts through Main and Spring
streets for long distance, as one would
lead wild animal, is very improper and
repulsive to the sight of the people: A
short time ago mounted policeman dragged
man through Main street, bv the side OF
his horse, in the mud, by his manacled
hands that were dripping with blood. The
sight was revolving and sickening, and
should not be repeated.
It is true these bad men must be arrested
and taken to prison, but some provision
should at once be made to have the arTests
and the passage of criminals through the
streets conducted in different manner.
In other cities strong, one.horse, closely
covered wagon called wan, is used, and
is kept at police headquarters, ready for use
when needed. This can be ordered by tele
phone to any part of the city and prisoner
conveyed therein rapidly to prison without
public observation. This would be better
than hauling one on dray or BY handouts
in the street. Will the Council provide a
van for prisoners?

THE BLOW WAS STRUCK,
The Express Robbery.

ST. LOUIS. october 29.-Frothingham, the
Adams Express messenger whose car was
robbed last Monday night, is still in the CITY
and has not yet been arrested, though he Is
accompanied wherever he goes by detect
i've. He was in close communication with
the officers of the conf any this morning
and 1t was given out that he was assisting
them in getting a elew to the identity of the
robber. Suspicion is expressed that sever
al employees of the express and railroad
companies careiully planned the robbery
with the knowledge of Frothingham and
divided the money between them. 1t was
stated at first that the amount stolen was
slightly in excess of $1,000. but claims have
already been presented to the company
which swells the amount to SS1 600 The
majority of these claims have been settled
ana as soon as the others are proved they
will be paid.
