Who Has Lost a Valise?

On Friday some boys residing on
Barrera street were sky-larking near
the Sunset railroad track, and while
in the brush, they came across a small
black valise hidden under a musqulte
bush. They took the vaIise home to
their parents where it was examined.
1t was then found that the valse in
question had evidently been stolen,
for it was cut open, and all contents
of any value had been taken out. All
that remained was some letters adj

away. One hundred and fifty thou

Gross Carelessness Causes Death

The funeral of Engineer J. w. RO-
tenberry, of the Southern Pacific rail-
way, occurred yesterday morning from
his late residence, 800 Austin street.
Deceased was killed Saturday morn
ing by his engine falling upon him as
he jumped to save himself as the train
ran into the open switch at Eldridge
station, beyond Sanderson. The
switch had been carelessly left open
and no one informed him of the fact,
and his engine, pulling passenger
train No. 10, dashed into it at full
speed. Nothing but the engine was
wrecked and no one was injured save
the engineer, the fireman escaping
by jumping at the first intimation of
danger.
