ONE OF THEM HELD.
The Scribner Brothers Examined by
Justice Henry.
James Discharged, but Charles Must
stand Trial-He Win Probably
Plead Guilty.

The preliminary examination OF
Charles and James Scribner, charged
with having stolen a quantity of wheat.
grain sacks, buggy robes and other
articles from the ranch Of Jacob Heintz,
took place Saturday before Justice OF the
Peace Henry.
The principal evidence was given by
Deputy Sheriff Alter, who with Chief OF
Police Rodgers arrested the Scribners. He
testified that the stolen property was
found in James Scribner's barn in this
city, buried beneath some hay, but that
James had protested that he knew nothing
about it, Charles Scribner, however, con-
tessed to the deputy that he had stolen
the property, and showed where it had
been hidden. Charles also declared that
his brother James did not know Of the
theft, and that the stolen articles were
placed in the barn without his knowledge.
Charles said he was assisted in the rob-
berry by his brother John and his half
brother, both Of whom are at liberty.
The defense put in no testimony, but
Hiram johnson, counsel for the two
prisoners, asked that James Scribner be
discharged. AS there was no testimony
tending to show that James had any
thing to do with the theft, Justice Henry
granted the request and liberated him.
Charles Scribner was held to answer
before the Superior Court, however, and
his bail was fixed at 81, 800. 1t is re-
ported that Charles intends to plead
guilty when the case reaches the higher
court, ana take his medicine"
The authorities are searching diligently
for John ScriDner and the half brother,
and Deputy Alter says they viii probably
be i'll custody in the course Of a couple OF

A WRECKED OMNIBUS.
Exciting Scene on X Street-One Per-
son Painfully Hurt.

son Painfully Hurt.
People on K street, in the vicinity of
Eighth and Ninth, witnessed thrilling
sight on Saturday forenoon, involving
the lives Of several persons. The State
House Hotel bus had just started for the
depot with five passengers-H. C. Nal
lory, wife and child OF Kansas and Grant
Nichols of Amador County and his bride.
The latter two were married on the pre-
ceding day and were just setting out on a
wedding tour.
Just as the bus crossed Ninth street
one OF the front wheels came oil, letting
the vehicle down and throwing the
driver, Daniel Murphy. upon the cobbles
with considerable force. The horses then
started on a run, TO the horror of the per-
sons inside the bus and all who wit
messed the occurrence.
Mr.. Mallory's first thought was to get
the door open and then try and rescue
his wife and child, but just as he got the
door ajar he was pitched through il into
the street. Then Nichols and his wife
clambered out without being seriously
hurt, but the horses continued running
with the bus and there was momentary
danger Of a collision that might result in
tie fatal injury OF Mrs. Mallory and her
child.
The horses turned down Eighth street,
toward l., where they stopped for want Of
strength to haul the crippled vehicle
farther. The lady and child were quickly
rescued, unhurt, but terribly frightened.
1t appears that the regular hotel bus
was undergoing repairs and an old one
was called into requisition for temporary
duty,
