Ger Ahern in a room at the Grand Hotel.
The charge against Rannon is grand lar

man named Hanchette, about eleven miles
from this city on the Marysville road,
and shortly after he quit there Hanchette's
team was taken, load of his wheat car
rled away and his horses taken back near
the ranch and turned loose to go home.
At the time no suspicion fell on Bannon.
A short time ago he came back and
worked about week for Hanchette, and
then went to an adjoining ranch to work
for man named Waite.
On Monday night he left Waite's and
came TO this city, took heavy team and
wagon belonging to Waite which was
here, went out to his ranch and loaded
the wagon with wheat and was waiting at
the Pioneer Mill with it when the office
opened next morning. He gave his name
as Henderson, ii sold the wheat and took
the team and tied it near Waite's house.
When arrested he denied everything, but
Ahern took him to the mill and he was
identified as the man who sold the wheat.
When he came to Hanchette's the last
time he had good horse and buggy,
which the officers believe were stolen
somewhere, as he turned the horse out.

buggy and harness for 81 90.

Death of Ed ward Curtis at His PARENTS

Intelligence has been received of the
death of Edward Curtis at the home OF
his parents in Chautauqua County, n. \.
Deceased came to this State many years
ago, and was a prominent figure in po-
litical circles up to less than year ago,
when he was stricken with paralysis.
Mr.. Curtis was man of superior at
tainments as litterateur, and frequently
! appeared as a lecturer. AS a politician
he was one of the best posted men IN the
State, and had even acquired prominence
IN the East.
When Cleveland was nominated for the
Presidency at Chicago in 1854 Curtis was
at the convention, and few days later
appeared at Albany, where he was among
the first to congratulate the reform Gov
ernor of New York on being selected as
the standard-bearer OF the Democracy.

warm personal friend of the latter, and
when IN March following the two met in
the White House the President-elect OK
pressed himself as pleased to greet his
devoted California follower. An intimacy
Sprang up between them, and il is said
that Curtis not only had the entree of the
Executive mansion but his advice was
taken by the President when that of men

HIS LEG BROKEN.
Result of Fast Riding Over slippery

Result of Fast Riding Over slippery
Streets
An accident happened at Tenth and n
streets yesterday afternoon which should
serve as warning to equestrians against
too rapid riding through the streets of the
city. especially during the season Of mud.
Benjamin Meiss, vino resides near Clay
Station, was galloping his horse quite
rapidly on Tenth street, between n and
o, despite the fact that that block has been
allowed to degenerate into a Quagmire,
when his horse slipped and fell upon
him. 1t was some time before he could
be extricated, and then it was found that
his leg was broken.
Out on the country roads there is less
danger in rapid riding, even in the winter
time, but it takes very sure footed ami
mai to keep on all-tours on the city
streets. Even the smooth bituminous
pavements are dangerous when covered
with coating of thin mud. and if news
boys and others persist III fast riding

Attempt. to xiii Himself

Attempt, to Kill Himself.
Yesterday afternoon w. L. Tolley fired
two or three shots at himself with sui
cidal intent, but they did no harm. 1t
seems he has been infatuated with Mrs.
Fred Denny, who some months ago
separated from her husband. and latterly
he has been very jealous of her.
To add to his fancied misery, he has
been out of employment, and yesterday
according to the statement of friend
he resolved to leave the city. He went
to house on NJ street, between Fourth
and Fifth, where the object of his devo-
ton was stopping, TO bid her farewell.
Having passed several sleeplesS nights.
the excitement OF the leave-taking with
Mrs. Denny overcame him, and in her
presence he either sought to end his life
or TO impress her with the idea that such
was his purpose.
One story is that he was too poor a
marksman, and another is that the
woman caught his arm and turned the
pistol aside. At all events, Tolley still
lives, and doubtless has no lingering
notion Of ending his existence by his
own hand.
