Mr.. F. E. Rose himself. He took the
sand with exemplary eheeriulness and
told his story with perfect composure.
He knew absolutely nothing of the
transaction with which he was charged.
He had met HaskiHs at the corner of
First and Main and had accosted him
out of common civility. He had not
talked with Hood and wasnot standing
near him more than few seconds when
Glass came up and the young man bolted
down First street. As to the room, he
had given that up TO Sparks, and had
told the landlady that the money he paid
her was not for himself, but for some one
else.
The cross-examination WAS under way
when the Court adjourned to meet again
in an evening session.
At 7 O'Clock Mr.. Rose resumed his
place upon the stand and answered
Jew more questions which were put to
him in cFoss-examination. This closed
the case fer the defense.
The District Attorney, Mr.. Hardesty,
then moved that the charge against
White be dismissed. 1t was believed
that White had proved satisfactory
alibi. The Court granted the motion,
and Mr.. White is free.
Tho general drift of the testimony Of
fered by the defence on the point of who
assisted Hood in the game, goes to show
very clearly that the right man was
Sparks. The latter has left town, and
will probably carry on his schemes in
the future in some different locality.
The argument was postponed to this
morning, and the Court gave notice that
he would limit counsel to one hour.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.-The E1ami-

Commission appointed by the Navy
Department to select site for Navy
Yard nortv of the forty-second parallel,
have returned to this city. The Com

visited and examined during their stay

Umpqua City, Coos Bay, Tilamook,
Astoria, Gray's Harbor, Port Townsend,

site on Puget Sound, just
opposite Seattle. The site agreed
upon was on land belonging to private
individuals, and the Commission had
estimated the price, which, they assured
the Secretary, could be obtained at
reasonable figure. A full report will not

:Trainyvrecking Fiend Fooled.

MANSFIELD, O., April ga fiendish
attempt was made to wreck the Pennsyl-
vania limited vestibule passenger train
near Canton about midnight. Pieces of
iron were tightly wedged into the switch
near Littletown. The eastbound pas
senger train passed safely over the OBJ
struction, but the unusual jolting caused
the trainmen to be alarmed, and they re
ported the matter to the operator. He
investigated the cause and stopped the
limited before it reached the switch. The
the east ends raised so as to derail the
westbound train, while allowing the east
bound to pass over with only little
jarring. The switch is only six feet from
the bridge and the momentum would
have thrown the whole train into the
creek and the consequences would have
been terrible.

why They Are DRY at This Time of
the Wear.
The irrigators of the city are COM
planning Of lack OF water, through the
alleged neglect of the City Council in
ordering the dam in the river rebuilt.
This dam was washed away by the last
storm, and nothing has been done to
replace it, in consequence of which all
the zaujas which depend upon it for
their supply of water have been dry. The
Zapjero is unable to build the dam with
out the order of the Council, and this
order should have been issued last Mon
day, upon the sugge stion of the Zanja
Committee, whose attention, it is said,
had been called to the matter. The con-
struction of the dam will take ten days or
more, and in the meantime the irrigators
require water for their trees which have
just been planted. The situation is such
that the irrigators say that the Zanja
Committee should have been composed
of irrigators, of whom there are several
in the Council. In that case they think
that their interests would not have been
neglected.

TWELVE DEPUTIES
sworn in TO Attend the Races Mex
NERnL.

week.
Tuesday afternoon twelve able.bodied
and fine-looking men marched down
Spring street from the Police Station to
the County Clerks Office in perfect step
and even files. Everyone on the street
turned to look at them. They were pres
emily recognized as a contingent of the
former police force, which WAS dis
charged last week. A number of men
we're needed for police duty on the Fair
Grounds during race week and these ex-
policemen, all men of excellent standing
and tirst-class experience, had been Sc
lected by Constable Fred Smith to be
sworn in as deputies. At the Clerks Of
fee the following thirteen we're sworn :
Russell, Metzler, Davis, Bowler, Martin,
Finnucane. Bolsnd, Dixon, Hawley,
Beebe, Jeffries, Collins and Mackel.
These men and the other old expert
enced first-class officers who have been
thrown out take the matter good nat
uredly. They understand that their re-
moval was political move and submit
to it as such. Some of them seem to re-
gard it as little tough that so many of
the macs. jailbirds, fences and toughs
that they have been fighting SO long
should be put in their places, but they
appreciate that that also is political
necessity and think they can stand it if
the tax-paYing public and the party Of
call the morality" can.

THE BUNCO CASE.
Evidence still Going ON for the De-
fendants.

The examination of the bunco men in
Justice Lockwood's court is just about
over. A decision will probably be
reached to-day. The three defendants,
who started out in first class spirits,
treating the whole affair as joke, have
begun to show very decided signs Of
fatigue. White looks pale and haggard,
and has become so nervous that he can
scarcely sit still two minutes at time.
Only Rose is cool and unconcc rned,
although he watches every witness on
the stand as cat would a mouse.
When the Court opened yesterday
morning an unpleasant surprise wss
sprung upon Mr.. Hood. He was ordered
bv the Court to stand and listen to new
complaint which had been entered
against him. He was charged with hav.
ing falsely mpersonated the son OF
Hon. Thomas L. James, ex-Post-
master General of the United States,
and by means of this representation
having obtained $3.50 from the Hon. j.
B. Haskins. Bail was at first set at
IS 900, but it was afterwards reduced to
$2 0GO and Rose, at first refused, was
afterwards accepted as bondsman.
The first witness in the morning ses-
sion was Mrs. Jennie White, the wife OF
the defendant. She said her husband
was home to dinner ON the 25th. She
had had a conversation with the boy,
Eddie johnson, about the case, but had
not told him what to say.
G. +, Muneon, grain merchant, sWore
that Rose had told him that he was look
ing for eome one to take his office, as he
was anxious to give it up.
Harry Wicks, a we'll. known sporting
msn, who is now a clerk at the County
Jail, in on sentence for an assault, was
nut on the stand ard WAS shown
the chart which was used in the
performance at the Crystal Palace. He
said that he and White had ordered il
made to be used at the races for an eight.
dice game. He afterwards gave it to
Sparks. Mr.. Wicks explained the game
Of eight dice, but did not know how tc
play bunco.
The first witness at the afternoon ees
sion was James Phelps, Snowman. He
swore that he had overheard CONVERSE
tion between Sparks and Rose at Little
| Af,su yestaurant, in which Rose offered
TO turn over his office furniture and all tC
him. and Sparks paid him So bill.
John III. Hammer was in the restau
rant, and overheard the same converse
ton.
Alfred Levy, the keeper OF the restau
rant, heard something of the same con
versation. There, were, however, severa
points Of discrepancy in the accounts o
the three last witnesses.
The janitor who took care OF Rose
room, testified that he had never seei
the "sweat-cloth" anywhere about tn
apartments.
