A Thief, to Escape, Jumps From a Fly
ing Train.
Passengers occupying one of the Pull
mans on the eastern. bound overland train,
which passed through this city at 1910
o'clock last night, were treated to quite a
sensation en- route.
When the train arrived at Port Costa a
young man boarded ii, and, entering the
Pullman, took seat beside gentleman
named W. E Rogers, who was on his way
home to Liverpool. Mr.. Rogers got out and
walked around while the train was on the
big ferryboat, and when Benicia was
reached re-entered and found that his valise
and overcoat were gone. The porter de.
MED that be had moved them, and then it
was discovered that the young man who
had sat opposite Yves missing. Conductor
Croker and the trainmen were mott
fed, and search proved that
the young man was still aboard 1t was
anticipated that he would endeayor to
leave the train at. Suisun, so, as the train
neared that place, the trainmen stationed
themselves at convenient places and
waited. Sure enough, just as the engine
slowed down, the young man was seen to
jump from the platform and run toward
the head CT the train.
He was promptly captured, and when
brought back to the Pullman it was dis
covered that he had donned Mr.. Rogers
oyercoat, and he was made to peel" i'm
mediately. He was badly frightened, and
told that he had hidden the valise on the
platform of one of the baggage cars. He
begged the conductor not to have him ar.
rested, but the latter was obdurate, and
both doors of the car were locked to pre-
vent his escaping.
District Attorney Elwood Bruner, who
was on the train, heard of the matter, and
having an eye to his official business,
went into the car for the purpose of get
ting some statements of the robbery. He
found, upon meeting Mr. Rogers, that
that gentleman was an old school. mate
of his, and then he became still more in
terested.
But the young man-where, oh, where
was be?
Somebody said he had stepped into the
toilet room. Investigation proved that he
had done worse than that. He had for
saken the tram by the window route, and
while the train was rushing along at the
rate of forty miles an hour.
What was his fate could not be learned
last night, but it was miracle if he es-
caped alive

pAsTARDLY OUTRAGE.
A Man and Wife Brutality Assaulted by
Xolo RoHdies

A Man and Wife Brutality Assaulted by
Yole Rowdies.
James Reynolds, an humble fisherman
of Yolo, who. with his wife, occupies a
camp" about four miles from Washing
ton, up the river, had rough experience
at the hands OF a gang of loafers in that
village about half-past 10 o'clock last
night.
1t seems that Reynolds and his wife had
been to this city making purchases OF pro-
visions, and were on their way home at
the hour named. They occupied the only
vehicle they possess, little homemade
cart drawn by rather poor specimen of
horsefesh.
They had gone but few hundred yards
beyond the bridge when they encountered
8 gang of about dozen toughs, who gath
cred about their vehicle, and, after insult
ing them in the grossest manner, resorted
to hostilities.
Reynolds and bis wife were both seized,
dragged from their cart, and beaten. The
rowdies had portion of sack of -four
with them, and they threw the contents
in the faces of Reynolds and his wife, al
most binding them, and then beat them.
Some of the gang attempted $50 Mrs.
Reynolds said) to criminally assault her,
and in her struggle with the brutes she
was very roughly handled. The victims
made such an outcry that their assailants
finally left them and they returned to
this city, being afraid to continue their
journey. The groceries they had pur-
chased were stolen from their cart.
1t was about IL o'clock when they
showed up at this Office, and they pre-
sented sorry sight. Their torn clothing
was covered with -four, as were their
faces, and they looked like couple of
tramp spooks. Through the coating of
flour on Mrs. Reynolds face shone pair
of eyes set in mourning, the result of
blows she said she had received during
the brief but exciting struggle with her
asssilanis.
Reynolds said it wasn't the first time
he had been maltreated over in Wash
Ington, and that he had appealed TO
Constable Frommelt in vain for protec-
ton while passing through the village.
He said himself end wife had &C.
qusintances in this city, where they
would spend the night as he dared not
again face the fends that inhabt the tule
jungles of Yolo.

ABOUT LlHD FOGS.
AN UNUSUAL PHENOMENA THROUGH
OUT THE INTERIOR.
Some Farmers Like the Fogs, While
Others Believe They Indicate
Dry Year.

1t is now two weeks or more since the
valley became enveloped in fog, and II
that time the sun has been seen but q very
few hours. Nothing could be more disa'
greeable. unless ii were snowstorms and
freezing weather, and people are heartily
tired of it. The cold and dampness has
been very trying to persons of weak OF
moderate vitality, and pulmonary COM
plants have prevailed.
Farmers. however, appear to like these
land fogs. They say that so long as the
fogs hang over the land rain will not be re-
quired, as there is little evaporation going
on. They can work in fog, but rain tenn
porsrily puts stop to operations. A we'll
known farmer informed SUNDAY UNION
reporter yesterday that very little more
rain would be necessary in this county to
produce good crops the coming year.
In other parts of the State there seems to
exist fears of dry season, as these long
continued land fogs have generally been
found to precede such. Referring to their
prevalence in San Pablo Valley and other
places about the bay the San Francisco
Chronicle says:
This sort of fog explained an old
Contra Costa rancher yesterday, always
indicates dry year. l have never known
it to fail in the last thirty years that have
been raaching in the bay counties that such
fog coming along in the holiday season
was always followed by an extremely dry
spell in January, February and March.
Il was ranching below the village of San
Pablo, on the San Pablo creek, in 1868 4,
the famous dry year in California history.
Well, we had just such fog then, lasting
for couple of weeks. The valley was
then settled by naive Calif1rnians, who

got all the advantage of the little rainfall,
and when crops were failure generally
throughout the State l harvested $500
quintals of barley, which l sold at cents
a pound, making the neat little sum OF
$40, 900. That dry year was godsend to
me.
1T was just the same in 1873 II. That
was an extremely dry year, and the same
heavy. yellow fog hung over the San Pablo
and Suison bays. Depend upon it, the
season from now on will be dry one, and
farmers cannot get their seed III the ground
too early to take advantage of what little
rain may fall"
Local scientists ridicule the idea of any
connection between dry years and fog
such as the present one. A peculiar con-
dition of the atmosphere and the wind cur
rents causes the mists which gather from
Suisun bay, the Sacramento ard San Joa-
quin rivers and their tributary sloughs to
settle along the Carquinez foothills. FORM

TWn. SiSfara.

In many homes it is apt to be the case
that one member of the family is con-
stantly sacrificing her pleasure and time
for the others.
Dora and Susie Lake were left alone in
the world Just after they had finished
school. They had each received a good
education, so when they found themselves
thrown on their own resources they were
able to take care of themselves comforta-
bly,.
Dora found place as book keeper in a
large wholesale house and Susie soon had
position as teacher. There was scarcely
two years differ ence between these two
sisters, yet anyone not knowing this would
have thought that Dora was five years the
elder.
1t was Dora who always did for Susie all
the little kindnesses that we all appreciate
SO much, and Susie who accepted them as
her right. 1t was Dora who did any little
extra work that needed to be done in the
care of their rooms. 1t was Dora who
thought of some pleasant outings and paid
the small extra expenses. Susie did not
think it anything surprising when she
found her mending done for her or her
clothes laid when she was going to q party
in the evening.
1t was raining one morning and Susie
was all ready to go to school. Dora was
putting on her things to go to the office.
