They Are Finally Caught With the Stolen
Property on Them.
Three charges of burglary are appended
on the City Prison register tc the names of
William Siebert and Percy Marraville, two
energetic and very successful workers. They
had liking especially for silver plate, and
were doing thorough business until inter-
rupted by Detectives Seymour and Haley.
About midnight on the 30th of last month
they entered the residence, at 1920 Suffer
street, of f. Jacoby, of the firm of Lach-
mann 81 ,Jacoby, and made away with about
$50 worth Of silyerware. On the 81 inst.
they secured about $500 worth Of plate from
the house of Charles Coleman, at 905 Hyde
street. Their depredations were continued
by next invading the residence OF DR.. A. 5.

with an adventure, in consequence OF Mrs.
Cook having arisen for drink of water
while the burglars were searching the rooms.
The lady, who is quite stout, collided with
one of them and knocked him over chair.
Both were frightened, and while the woman
was screaming the thief escaped through
the back window, leaving his hat, which had

with them pair of diamond studs, breast
pin, pair of pearl earrings and pair OF
gold spectacles.
On Monday last the detectives watched

SAVE THE TREES.
A Suggestion That the Redwoods Also
Be Preserved.

A Suggestion That the Redwoods Also
Ee Preserved.
Garden and Forest has warmly advocated
saving the last grove of giant sequoias, the
big trees" in Tulare County, California and
both houses Of Congress have passed unanl-
mously bill setting apart the grove forever
as a public park. The act secures also the
springs of streams that flow through the
park, and provides for the preservation Of
the timber and natural objects, for the pro
lection of the fish and game, and for the
maintenance Of the park in its natural con-
diiion.
Garden and Forest now asks why similar
reservation should not be made of tract Of
the redwood forest in the Coast Range. The
trees are SO valuable that they are rapidly
falling under the axe, and trees almost as
interesting as the big trees, and even more
beautiful, will disappear. 1t hopes, also,
that the committees will report the Yosemite
Park Bill, and undoubtedly in Ieserying
these noble tracts from destruction Congress
might be sure of universal public approval
The public interest in forestry, which has
been faithfully and forcibly fostered by Gar
den and Forest, has arisen happily in time
to save much that ought to be saved, but
could be saved only by strong expression
of opinion. The great beauty and The uni
verSal enjoyment of the parks which have
been laid out within recent years have
shown what an immense benefit and delight
little forethought may secure to our chill
dren. The reservation of Niagara, in New
York, and the earnest struggle Tor the Adj
irondack forests, are fruits OF the spirit
which has been awakened, and whether the
parks are vast tracts in the wilderness or
breathing spaces in the city, the feeling
which reserves them. and which in turn they
develop and encourage, is source Of the
purest public pleaSure.-UarperS Weekly.

A BLOODY DUEL.
Fought by Pair OF Italians With Keen
Edged Shnyels.

Fought by Pair of Italians With Keen
Edged Shnvels.
A bloody and perhaps fatal duel between
two Italians with small. sharpened shovels
occurred in the alley between Chicago and
Cass and Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth
STREETS
The duelists belonged to n grading gang
that was just quitting work. Both are said
TO have been deadly enemies for some time
and only waiting for the slightest pretext TO
come together. This opportunity came at
the time mentioned.
One was a large and the other a small
man. After striking each other with their
fists, each seized his shovel which it seems
had been sharpeBed 10 a knife-lke edge.
With these they fought almost with the
dexterty of swords, each r,ining the blows
upon the other with deadly intent.
After each had been badly wounded on
the shoulders, legs and head. the larger
man succeeded in compelling his enemy to
drop to his knees for an instant when he
followed UP his advantage by dealing the
little one a horribly murdcrous slash over
the head With the keen edge of his murder
Gus shovel.
The result was a sickening wound extend
ing almost from ear to ear, and fracturing
the skull in a manner that Will probably
cause death.
Still not satisfied with his fiendish work
the big fellow drew from his bootleg great
gittering stiletto fully six inches in length,
and sprnging to his fallen victim was about
to plunge 1t into the latter's heart, when he
in turn was felled to the ground by blow
from the fist of b, Stander.
Then the fellow-workmeD of the bloody
combatants hastily removed each of the
latter TO their homes, some distance away

THE LAW OF MOSES,
A Couple Divorced According to the
Hebraic Faith.


Hebraic Faith.
The Rev. Solomon Philo has recently sue
ceeded in making four people happy and
quieting the voice of SANDER among certain
members of Hebrew society in this city.
Over eight years ago the domestic rela-
lions of Jewish couple named Plaizek, re-
siding on Green street, became somewhat
strained, and separation was decided
upon. The Ease was then taken into the
courts and the wife was granted a divorce.
Soon after she married one Roberts, mer-
chant of good repute and some means, soon
after which it was whispered that, though
divorced from her first husband according
to the laws of the State, the Jewish faith had
not sanctioned the separation, and conse-
Quently by marrying another she had COM
mtted a criule in the eyes of the Mosaic
law.
Social ostracism was the result, and the
friends who once entertained and welcomed
her at their homes now refused to recognize
her Several people, high in church and So
cial circles, interp0sed in her behalf and be-
sought the first husband to grant her a
church divorce, but be was deaf to their en-
treaties, replying that she had already yio-
lated the law of Moses and could make no
amend.

came interested in the case, and last Mon

Special to THE MORNING CALL

NAPA, Oct. 10-Judging from the rush
for hotel accommodations the attendance at
the breeders meeting, commencing to-mor-
row, will be very large. All the hotels are
as full as they can be and no additional
sleeping quarters can be had at any of them.
This need not, however, deter visitors from
attending the races, as a committee has ar
ranged to furnish all who apply good rooms
in private families convenient to the hotels
The trainers out at the track are unani-
nous in declaring that it is in the very best
possible condition, and that fast time is sure
to be made over it. Especial care has been
taken in preparing it for Stamboul'S attempt
tomorrow to beat the stallion record. He
is to 60 against his own time Of 2:12A, but
this is not considered to be within second
of what he will show.
All the leading stables that took part in
the cir cult this year are at the track and in
good order. The association received the
welcome word in the afternoon that Charley
Marvin had arrived at the San Francis co
Bay District Track with the Palo
Alto stable, including Sunol and Palo
Alto. He also brought Orrin Hickok's
fast crack Alfred S. Sunol is sad TO be a

Cold-Blocded Assassination.

BOISE CITY idaho, Oct. 1O-Word was
received here this afternoon that Ross Hol-
chins, living on Ten-mile Greek, near Hun
teEs, about nine miles from this place, had
been shot twice by man named Jen-
nings. The trouble grew out OF a
difficulty between the two men in
reference 10 the land on which
Holchins had filed presumption claim, but
had neglected TO properly comply with the
law, and Jennings had filed homestead
claim over his head and jumped the claim.
Holchins was in the city few days ago, al
leging that Jennings had fired three shots
at him without effect about a week since,
but being considered rather simple no at
tention was paid to the story as reported.
This afternoon Jennings sent bis wife to
H0lchinS' cabin to say that her husband
wished TO see him, and on his coming, as
requested, shot him twice with Win
chester rifle. No further particulars have
been received, and it is not known how
badly Holchcis is wounded. On receipt of

Slaughter of Deer.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 10.-The Record Union
publishes the following: Persistent agita-
ton OF the subject has at last attracted at
tention to the manner in which the deer on
the western slope of the Sierra Nevada are
being rapidly eXterminated by ide-hunting
vandals, and has resulted in action being
taken that will probably do much toward
abating the evil. 1t has been the custom
for many years past for half-dozen white
men to employ the Wasboe Indians by the
hundreds to come across the mountains
every fall and Stay thousands of deer for
their hides. These white men remain at
certain points in the mountains, receive the
skins from the Indians and smuggle them 10
the tanneGes before they can be seen by
any person who would be apt to inform on
them.
The Indians are paid in rifles, ammuni-
ton, blankets, etc, and they slaughter does
and fawns as freely as bucks. They have
been allowed to pursue their annual vandal-
ism because they claimed they killed the
der for their own subsistence, which is not
true, for the carcasSeS are left on the hills
to decay. Even if they did kill the deer 10
be eaten, they have no right to do so. They
are reservation Indians, and the Govern
ment provides them with food at the ex-
penSe of the people.
The Supervisors of FL Dorado County and
the State Specimens Association have sent
memorials to the Interior Department TO
put stop to the illegal slaughter.
