Mr.. Mackie, as "Grimsey. Me Boy"
was at his best, and Roanoke audience
seldom sees better comedian Harry
Wright did his work cleverly, and Miss
Sanford, as Pandora, deserves much
credit for her part. The Bison City

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 5.-P. O. Burng,
who ia charged by the New York Life
Insurance company with fraudulent
acts. was before the superior court here
today on n habeas corpus, and remanded
to the custody of the sheriff Of Glenn
county, where the alleged fraud was
committed. Burns was en- route 10
willows Saturday when be was tah en-
from the train here, on writ issued by
Judge Catlin, returnable today. Deputy
Sheriff Schorn of Glenn county, in
making the return thia afternoon,
swore that tast evening Burns informed
him thar the judge had set the case ~
hearing at O'Clock tnat evening", but
Schorn objected as he could not see his
counsel in time that Burns then offered
him $50 to let the hearing proceed in
the absence of counsel, but the offer was
refused; Schorn then went to Judge
Catlin's chamber and told him
OF the occurrence and the Judge
said it had been represented to him that
all the parties were agreed to the hear
ing. He was indignant, and when the
affidavit was read in court he said Burns
was clearly guilty of contempt, and ii
the prosecution desired he would pun
ish him. This would have delayed the
examination of Burns, set for tomorrow
in Willows. The prosecution consented
to allowing the matter to drop. Burne
will be taken to Willows tomorrow
morning for examination.

Judge Lynch Temporarily Adjourns
Court at San Diego.
SAN DIEGO, Dec. Sat the request OF
General Neale, father of the boy mur
dered by Captain Sam Smith off the
Coronado islands on Friday, the vigi-
lance committee has abandoned or de-
ferred its raid on the county Jail, and it
is not expected that any attempt will be
made to lynch the murderer at present,
if at ell. A committee waited upon
Neale upon his return from San Fran
cisco prepared to 60 at once to Jail and
hang both Smith and Indian Joe, but at
Neale's solicitation no action was taken.
The Jail is guarded by a few
trusty men, and the officers have
excluded all who have applied
for admittance, except few friends of
the prisoners. Newspaper men have
been denied entrance to the Jail, but an
interview with Smith was secured by
stealth by q Union reporter. The muir
derer is all broken down, and wept
freely over the result of his act, yet he
persists in saying that the boys were
plotting against him. He expressed his
willingness to die when told of the bit
ter feeling entertained against him and
the talk OF lynching, but his mind re.
peatedly reverted to the loss OF his skiff,
concerning which he said: "Those
awful boys; those awful boys, they
wanted to ruin me "

British Subjects imprisonment In
Idaho Justifiable.
BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 5.-The war de-
partment will be informed by Governor
Wiley of Idaho that Alexander CHS
holm, British subject, is not entitled
to redress from the United States for
alleged indignities inflicted upon him in
Shoshone county, in July last. Chisholm
was arrested by the military authorities
and confined at Wardner for participant
ion in the C9ur d'Alene insurrection.
One man has offered to swear that CHS
holm made himself very offensive by
threatening the lives of several persons,
and Colonel Curtis, commanding the
militia, declares that Chisholm refused
release from prison on parole. With
this showing it is not thought the Eng
lish government will press the request
for an official investigation of the
matter.

upon old warrrnts left over frcm the
presidential election. The warrants
were issued from the federal supervisor
OF elections, and were among the big list
turned in to him gs having been illegally
registered.
Two OF these men, James Campbell
and William Walls, were arrested while
attempting to vote at precinct en- San
Fernando street and taken before United
States Commissioner Van Dyke. Camp
bell was held for examination, and in
default OF $3.50 bail went to jeil. He was
intoxicated when brought before the
commissioner.
VIM. Walls was allowed 10 80 on his
own recognizance. The facts in his case
seem to be that he registered in August
as living On Maud street, while as mat
ter OF fact he moved week afterwards
| to Mesnager street, one block away. 1t
was in the same precinct. T. e. Flint,
chief supervisor, stated during the
! afternoon that the case would no doubt
be dismissed as against Mr.. Walls, who

he was all right.
Beyond these two CAGES there were no
arrests, and the work Of polling the vote
went ahead in the various precincts
without any noticeable breaks beyond
some challenges of persons who had
moved into the precincts where they
voted since registration. In these cases
the votes were sworn in and but few
were rejected.
There were very few Incidents 10 note
at any Of the precincts during the day,
save the important fact that men came
up to the polls, marked their ballots,
deposited them and went away There
were no crowds around the polls in
most OF the precincte, the largest being
seen at some of the polling places OF the
Seventh ward.
The work was not done within 100
feet of the polling places. There was
very energetic work all over the city
and there WAS no apathy in the election,
but when the voters reached the 100
feet limit chat settled il. The old hust-
ling OF voters and excited crowds was
not visible to the naked eye.
In the absence Of any reliable basis
for estimating the final result, the
claims OF all parties during the day were
amusing. The Republicans claimed the
election of Mr.. Tufts for mayor in every
instance in which any OF them were in
terrogated. They affected 70 laugh at
the possibility of Mr.. Rowan coming
within faw hundred votes OF securing
an election.
1t is rumored that the Law and Order
league held meeting, Sunday night, al
which il decided not to Withdraw
Tufts SO its choice, but ii it followed cut
the instructions it was done so quietly
that there were no surface indications
OF it.
, Late in the afternoon it was ciaimeS
that MIR. Rowan would have such vott

The Fresno Grand Jury Indicts Him for
Offering Brides.
FRESNO, Cal Dec 5.-The grand jury
now in session here has brought two in
dictments against William Curlett, an
Oakland architect, charging him with
bribery. Curlett was arraigned before
Judge Holmes this morning and put
under bond in the sum OF $2500 on each
charge. The indictments allege that
Curlett offered bribe to Supervisor
Jake Meyer and w. F. Hanke, $1,000 to
the former and $1150 to the latter. to in
duce them to vote in favor of the bid or c..
f. Weber & Co., for furnishing the court
house additions now being constructed
here. Curlett is the architect who fur
nished the plans for additions to the
court house. Curlett says he was asked
by other members of the board to rec
ommend some good furniture firm to
put in bid, and that is the extent of his
connection with the matter. He is con-
fdent he can thoroughly vindicate him
self, and attributes his indictment to
the jealousy and i'll will OF some persons
he would not name.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.--In the Curtis
case today, George A. Knight of counsel
for the defense. made the opening state
ment to the jury, setting forth what the
defense expected to prove. Counsel
said the testimony in this second trial
had not varied much from that on the
fret trial. Among other things he
would show that witness Cam could
not have stood where he says he did on
that night, or he would have bsen seen
by others. Knight said he would prove
that witness Cam was not at the battle
OF Gettysburg, as he swore he was, nor
was he member of the Thirtieth Mis-,
souri, regiment. Counsel then went over
the story of the shooting, stating that he
would show that footpad was the man
who shot the officer.

II "But you generally know before the

"Not this time, my boy. ANY one
who Gays he can tell how the people are

This conversation took place yesterday

one OF the best known and shrewdest
politicians in the city, and it expresses
the exact facts of the case.

voters had become educated in the new
system and felt that they could conn

AS result of this idea the vote polle'
by noon was light. There were thos
who thought this would be overcom
