ROBBED BY FRIENDS.
Frank McKegney Enticed Into q Restau
rant for rha Purnns,


rant for the Purpose.
About three weeks ago Frank McKegney
sold out his cigar-stand in Seattle, and re-
turned to this city to better his condition,
and at the same time see some of the
friends OF his boyhood. Among the first
friends he met was Ed johnson. whom he
had not seen for thirteen years, and Fred
Hurst. alias '.Frenchy."
They were both pleased to meet him, not
only because he was an old friend, but be-
cause he had aided them financially.
Finding that he could do better up north,
Frank decided to return TO Seattle on
Wednesday, and so notified his friends.
About 3 O'Clock on Wednesday morning he
was met on Third street by johnson,
"Frenchy" and two other friends when
one OK the number suggested that they
should eat Breakfast together, after which
all would accompany him TO the steamer
and see him off.
The Seattle man at first demurred, but
finally consented and all took a car. The
restaurant which they visited was Walter
Burke's, on the corner Of Fifth and Tehama
streets. No sooner had they entered than
one of the friends seized hold of Mckegney,
/ whereupon another choEed him. They then
robbed him of his money to the amount of
S12o watch and the keys of his trunk.
Mckegney reported the robbery at police
headquarters and early on Wednesday
evening "Frenchy' was lodged in the Fol-
som-street Station, charged with yagrancy.
On his person was found 81. He also had
on a suit of new clothes. About 1925
o'clock last night Officers Crockett, Shea
and Dillon brought Edward johnson to the
Folsom-street Station and booked him for
robbery. and on his person were found q
revolver and package of opium.
At the prison johnson confessed his con-
nection with the robbery, declaring that
they had divided the money and thrown
the watch away. After dividing the spoils
he proceeded to get drunk on his share of
them. johnson is said to be an eX-convict,
and has only been out of the States Prison
about one month. The other two are still
at large, but the officers expect to have them
behind the bars before long.

TOO MUCH MILK.

That Is What Caused the Death of .
Jersey MiIkmaid.
Many warnings have been given milk
drinkers against partaklng too freely OF
the chalk-and-water compound which so
frequently finds Its way into the New York
market, but it remained for Plainfield,
n. j., to produce the first case on record Of
a death from drinking the pure article. DIR.
Boone of Plainfield is flooded with in
quiries from brother physicians and citizens
regarding the death Of Mary Goldsmith,
cook at Holly Grove Dairy, three miles
from town. Mi SIS Goldsmith, or "Mollie,"
as she was Familiarity known, was so years
old. She had but one failing. She was
passionately fond of milk, and she came to
work at the Holly Grove Dairy fully deter
mined to crafty her taste for the tactical
fluid to the fullest possible extent.
General Samuel Schwenk, owner of the
dairy, allows his employees to have all the
milk they want, and it is not ordinary
milk that has lost all nOuriShment through
being jolted about in tin cans over miles of
pavenents. The milk that Mollie and other
employees got at the dairy was not of that
kind, but was that of registered Jerseys.
and their milk is of the finest quality. Most
of the employees contented themselves with
glass or two Of this luscious 120 per cent
test beverage two or three times day.
But not so Molly. Her appetite for milk
increased until it amounted to little less
than gluttony. Her companions at first
laughed at her, then actually feared she
would make herself sick, but none Of them
anticipated fatal results. Mrs. Schwenk.
the mistress of the household, used to say
to her: -.
'Now, Mollie, it isn't because we don't
want Won or any of the help to have all the
milk you want, but am actually AFRAID IL
will do you harm to drink SO much li. b..
Mollie laughed heartily; put kept on
drinking. She was very light eater and
seemed to depend chiefly upon the milk she
drank for her sustenance. No one knows
inst how much she drank, as she had free
access to the cellar, but it is known posi-
lively that she has drunk as much as a gal
ion in day. An ordinary glassful did not
satisfy her She drank it by the dipperful.
Last winter she fell a victim to the grippe,
and Mr.. Boone then told her that if she per
sisted in her milk-drinking habits 1t would
certainly kill her.

NO WILD WEST.
A Band of Indians Refuse to Go
to Australia.

Thirteen Indians, twelve men and one
woman, from Lake and Mendocino coun-
ties, were given shelter yesterday at the
City Prison. They had come TO this city on
the promises of a show agent named Worth;
who engaged them to 20 to Australia as the
nucleus Of Wild West show, but on hear
ing that it took three weeks sailing to go
there, they refused to leave and sought
official assistance.
Charlie Brown, a powerful man Of heavy
build, acted as spokesman for the party.
He told the police captain that Indian
Agent Harris of Lake County had sent
them to the prison, and that they wanted
to stay until arrangements could be made
to take them home.
Charlie then told the story of his troubles.
"a man named Worth" said he, came to
Lake County and offered us $50 month
each to travel in his Wild West show. The
boy with us was to get Sl5 month and we
were to do whatever he told US. Last Fri
day we arrived here and were taken to the
Melbourne House on Howard street, where
one Of our women is sick after giving birth
to q child Tuesday night. The child died
and its mother has its body TO take it back
to our homes. We were told that Worth
intended to take us 10 Australia ON the next
steamer and that he would probably cast
us off there. Then we would be without
money and unable to return. Our people
all said they did not want to 20 across the
ocean. The women began to cry and we
did not know what to do. The people at
the hotel wrote to Agent Harris for US and
he came to the city last night. He is going
to take us back home tonight. Worth is
bad man and deceived US. We are afraid to
stay any longer at the Melbourne House,
because Worth might come there with his
men 10 take US away and we have no
weapons TO resist"
The Indians were dressed in cheap
clothes, with fancy-colored wooden shirts
and bright scarlet sashes, tied in bows,
Fauntleroy style, around their waists.
This dress was purchased by Worth,
and improved their appearance, but
when he claimed high prices from
the wearers for the clothing they re-
piled that he might take his apparel. but
they would go nome anyhow. They all un-
derstood English, but spoke it imperfectly.
In their native place they are very peaceful.
