Several days ago The Critic published
al account of daring highway robbery on
the Blair road in the county, the victim be-
ing John T. Smith, an inmate of the
Hampton Home, who was visiting friends
on the outskirts of the city.
About 9 o'clock Monday night Smith
went to a small store on the Blair road to
make some purchases. When he handed
the keeper $40 bill in payment for what
he had bought he noticed that a lonnger
in the place eyed him very closely, but he
paid little attention to him.
Soon after leaving the store, and while
passing along lonely part of the high
way he was struck with blackjack or
sand-bag from behind and felled to the
ground. When he recovered conscious
ness he found that his wallet. containing
So and some other trinkcts had been
taken from his pockets.
Yesterday afternoon Officer Nicholson
Of the Eighth precinct arrested Joe Cole,
the man who was in the store, on sus-
picion of having committed the crime.
Included in the money stolen from Smith
was $40 gold piece, and Cole is known to
have passed one in Seventh-street store
this week. He is an old offender.

NOEY'S ADVENTURES.
Tales Told to Relieve the Dizziness
of an Equity Trial.

For two days jury in Judge Firms de
partment has been listening to tales of hair
breadth escapes from Indians, sufferings
from lack of food and water while on dreary
marches through uncivilized parts, and all
the various Yicissitudes of a journey on
horseback through Southern Arizona and
Northern Mexico. The raconteur has been
one Maguel NOey. he has been relating
his thrilling experiences while visiting a
ranch in Sonora, Mexico, and he has real
lied that the mere thrilling the adventures
appear to the jury the bigger verdict lie is
likely to receive. lie is suing frankie White
for 5000.
When the famous divorce suit of White
VS.. White was settled in her favor the ques-
ton then arose as to alimony. George e.
White was the Teputed owner Of 1900 acres
. of land in Sonora, and the eX-wife claimed
an interest in the ranch as a community
property. In order to have some idea as to
its value she employed an agent to visit the
ranch and to report as to its condition and
market value Now. the plaintiff in this
case, Maguel Noey, declares he was that
agent employed by Mrs. White and that his
services are worth $500.
In her answer Mrs. White AYERS that she
employed Milton E, Babb as her agent in
the matter, and that if plaintiff did the
work he must look to Babb Tor his pay; and
anyway, even if she is liable for Noey's
services, they are not worth more than $500
at the most. So there the matter stands,
and Judge Finn and the jury must decide
But the testimony has been interesting.
NOey has told about the Indians chasing
him across the mountains: how the bear
and the wolf made things unpleasantly hot
for him, while the weather was so cold that
the water in his canteen frOze and burst its
confines; how he was for long time with
out water and had we'll nigh run short of
provender. All these things have been en-
PERTAINING. and it only needed that the wit
ness be allowed to describe the wild, grand
scenery of those parts to have lifted the
prosaic veil of an equity court entirely
away and disclosed in vivid colOrs the
beauties of nature to the fireside travellers
who have been his listeners.

FORMING A HERD.
The Commissioners Buy Three
More BuffalOes.

Benjamin Harrison, the young buffalo
bull, though probably the most apathetic
and sleepy-headed bovine in the world, has
proved such an attraction at Golden Gate
Park that the Commissioners have de-
termined to get some more buffaloeS to form
the nucleus of large herd.
The Commissioners have arranged with
some parties in Salt Lake for the pur-
chase of one young buffalo bull and two
young buffalo COWS. They are expected to
reach San Francisco before the end of the
week, though the telegram announcing
their shipment has not yet been received.
These three new buffaloes ar represented
as being extremely lively and vigorous, and
the reverse in disposition of Ben, the
present monarch OF the stable corral. There
are grave suspicious that Benjamin is very
debiitated, aud that his former owners
knew this when they sold hiiH. The trouble
is believed to arise from his liver. However
correct this may be, there can be no doubt
about the healthfunesS of his appetite, for
he does nothing all day but stuff himself with
hay, ruminate and sleep. So lazy is he, that
he now sleeps aud Eliminates at the same
time TO save trouble.
When the new young bull arrives very
lively time is looked for, as Ben might con-
elude to wake up and find out who shall be
the leader of the herd. At present the en-
plOyes of the stable near which Ben IS cor
rallied think that Ben will surely be defeated
owing to his laZneSS.

ELIZEO REVELAS' STORY
He Declares That Attorneys Are
Prosecuting Him.

Elizeo Reveals, Mexican boy. aged 10
years, who was arrested on Wednesday
night and booked for the Industrial School,
claims to be the victim of conspiracy on
the part of a special policeman and several
attorneys.
He declares that he was locked up because
he could not divulge the whereabouts OF
Apoloni Torres, the woman accused of plac-
ing minor in house of bad repute on
Broadway. and who recently disappeared,
leaving in the lurrh two Police Court law
yers who put up $500 each bail for her ap-
pearance
The attorneys heard that young Reveals
knew where the woman is, aud tried to
make him tell, and so. while going to the
house Of his grandmother at 636 Vallejo
street, he was arrested by Special Officer
Rels of the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty TO Children.
He was not taken direct to jail. but walked
around town, during which time he claims
that attorneys Gallagher and Hartog tried
to make him tell where the Torres woman
is located. The lad says he was offered So
to give the desired information, but could
not do so, because knowing nothing about
the woman.
So much for the boys story. He has
served term in the Industrial School, aud
was recently released on probation. The po-
lice say that he has shown no inclination to
reform, and it is for that reason that he will
be returned to the Industrial School, still
Attorney Gallagher admits that he tried to
make the boy tell where Mrs. Torres is. The
boy recently secured a position as meSs-boy
ON the steamer New York, but the chances
are that she will leave To-day without him.

SEVENTY LIVES LOST.
Nine Vessels Wrecked on the En-
glish Coast.

From the dispatches received at the Mer-
chants Exchange yesterday some idea of
the magnitude and severity of the terrible
storm now raging on the south coast of En-
land may be gathered. A large number Of
vessels have been wrecked and very few of
the many men en- board them have been
saved.
Near Dartmouth in DeYOnshire q large
foreign steamer went ashore on the rocks
and not one of the passengers and crew
was saved. The name of the vessel could
not be learned, but it is thought she is a
Spanish vessel.
A little farther down the coast the large
British ship Dryad, bound from London to
Valparaiso. was driven ashore by tho fury
OF the gale and out of her crew of twenty
eight men only four reached the shore alive.
The ship rapidly went to pieces and in the
short space of one hour hardly vestige Of
her was to be seen.
Seven cOasting vessels, mostly schoOners,
went ashore close to Start Point within two
hours of the time the Drvad struck the
rocks, and most OF the men on board them
were drowned
Of those who reached the shore ten died
from cold and exposure. There are several
life-boat stations in the vicinity, but they
could render little assistance, as no boat
could live minute in the fearful sea, and
the roads were so blocked with snow that
the rocket apparatus could not be trans.
ported to the scene of the awful wrecks.
It is estimated that seventy lives were
lost on the coasts OF Devon and Cornwall
alone, and the storm is just as bad all along
the coast
