AMES KEPT HIS MAN.
HOW DEPUTY SHERIFF. JUMPED
FOR PRISONER.
1t Was n Desperate Plunge but Mr..
Amos Kept After His Man and
Kept Him, Landing Him In
San Quentin.

As thrilling en- incident as any related
in long time occurred some days ago
near Tracv. On a Southern Pacific train
going toward San Francisco was dep
uty sheriff named Fred Ames, from Los
Angeles, says the Inyo Independent.
He had in charge prisoner who had
been sentenced to San Quentin prison
for term of three years for burglary.
The prisoner was tough looking char
ter, aged about "a years. The train
was running at very rapid rate
about 4 O'Clock in the morning; the
deputy sheriff had taken theshackles off
his prisoner and sat in front of him.
having turned over a seat for that pur-
pose. Mr. Ames was drowsy and made
no objection when tine prisoner said he
wanted to 60 to the closet. After
time the officer noticed that his
man was gone good while, and
started up to look after him.
On opening the closet door he found the
place empty and window open looking
out upon the car platform. The train
was rushing along at very high speed,
the cars swaying and jumping in wav
to shake even the frmest nerves. It
did not seem probable that even a mad
man would try to Jump from train go
ing at such speed in the night.
The officer thought his prisoner must
have gone into some other car of the
train, end searched them all, but failed
to find him. He returned to the car he
had left and when standing on the
platform thinking what he had best do,
he happened to look down the car steps
there hanging down from the steps and
grasping the iron supports. was his man.
The prisoner saw he was discovered and
at once made desperate plunge into the
darkness. At the same instant the dep
uty plunged after him. Under ordinary
circumstances both men would have been
dashed to instant death; but fortu-
nately for them they landed together in
mud hole. Both rolled over and over
IN the mud; the prisoner getting up
first, waded out, got under wire fence
and made of, as fast as his legs could
carry him. But Mr.. Ames was also on
his feet in an instant, and started in
pursuit.
After short chase he seized his man,
and being the stronger of the two had
him quickly secured again. Another
train was following the first; Mr.. Ames
got on the track and signaled for it to
stop, which was done, and both men
were taken on board. This train reached
the next station before the first had
pulled out, and Mr.. Ames returned with
his prisoner to the same car he had left
but short time before. Irons were at
once placed upon the prisoner, as Mr..
Ames had no desire to accompany him
in another act of ground and lofty tum-
bling. Very little clothing remained
upon the men when they got back to
the car; even the under clothing upon
Mr.. Ames was torn to shreds, and both
were covered with mud.

WANTS TO BE A CONVICT.

The Peculiar Reason Fred Mayne Givee

The Men and Machines Inspected and
Paraded.
Yesterday was inspection day in the
fire department. Early in the afternoon
the entire department put on it's best
bib and tucker, and assembled at the
plaza where the inspection occurred.
There were present the fire commits
sioners, and Chief Moore and his subor-
.dinates. There was quite an attendance
of citizens, who were greatly pleased
with the general appearance of the de-
partment. The, firemen in their neat
uniforms the well groomed horses, and
the machines with their highly var

Queen victoria's Dog.

Dogs were first admitted to the court of
England in the reign of Henry VIII. I'm
der the reign three dogs have been elevated
to the highest canine dignities on account
of their aristocratic families and their own
peculiar merits. The names OF the aristo-
cratic trio are Marco, Roy and Spot. Marco
Is the queens favorite, aId he used to be
jealous of John Brown. His ancestry can
be traced back to the Crusaders. He is
what they call in England a Pomeranian,
and at one of the recent dog shows he won
the first prize-the mug of honor. The
other favorite, Roy, is a collie, and Spot is
fox terrier with record of TWENTY-FIVE
rats in a quarter of an hour.
These canine lords have their residences
WITH their special names. Her maiesty's
dog placeis divided into three parts, the
queens veranda, collie court and umbrella
court The veranda is the principal one.
1t is covered gallery around the kennel.
and the queen likes to walk there.
Each kennel has a dining room and
bedroom. The floor Of the dining room is
separated from the veranda by an iron
grating. 1t is paved with red and blue
bricks, and the furniture consists of q
trough always full of fresh wster. The
bedrooms have two large windows, gener-
ally kept open for the purpose of ventila-
tioD, and in snug corner in each room
there is very low bed with mattress of
fresh straw.
Umbrella court gets its name from the
big umbrella in the middle of it, under
which the big dogs can shelter themselves
from the sun and rain. A host of servants
wait upon the canine nobility, and the
queen is very severe with the officials who
do not pay proper attention to her dogs. A
chef is provided for them, and his instruc-
tions are to vary the menu of the dinners
of her majesty's pets and to consult their
astes.--Sportsmen' Review.

The Mandolin.

The stringed musical instrument
which is peculiarly suited to ladies is
the mandolin. 1t comes from Italy and
was introduced here by the Spanish stu
dents, who made so great a success at
Booths theater so many years ago. Mrs.
William Waldorf Astor was one of the
first ladies to learn to play the mando-
lin; her ability, however, with this in
strument was not made known to any

AT HANLON'S.
Carter Writes That the Indians AR,


Carter Writes That the Indians Are
Joyous.
j. D. Carter writes from Hanlon's on
the Colorado river to the Yuma Times
as follows, under date OF the goth:
The Indians are now in the midst OF
their harvest and are feaeting, dancing
and singing night and day. The ball
opened night before last and will con-
tinae with the Digenos until Sunday,
when the Yumas start. They expect
the Mohavee, Cocopahs and Maricopas
down. They had grand affair last
year and propose to have the game this
year. Roberts & Johnson commence
gathering cattle for market on the 25th.
The Mexicans had grand time dancing
and firing salutes. Quite number OF
people were here from Yuma and other
parts. ~
have heard that the Colorado River
Irrigation company when they return
this fall to continue operations, propose
to begin new survey on the cotton
lands, commencing at q point three
miles beyond Seven Wells and continue
the survey on the lower desert to New
river side and Carisso creek.
One of my best horses died last week

goids. Among them is q black, which
attacks black scale. and a white, which
lives upon the red ecale. Professor
Coquillett also spoke OF q red fungoid
which he had seen.
1t might be disease which was at
tacking the red scale, the professor said, +,
and not the fungoid at all. Whatever
it was, there was not the slightest doubt
that it WAS absolutely exterminating the
red ecale in the San Gabriel valley and
in Los Angeles.
Upon being asked whether in the or
chards visited he should say that spray
ing or fumigating for red scale was neces-
sary, Professor Coquillett said that he
thoughtnot. AS to other orchards or
other localities he had visited he would
not give an opinion.
George Dalton had been preparing to
clean up in his orchard several weeks
ago when he first observed the rapid
death OF the red scale and deferred
operations. The determination went on
until he saw that it would not be neces-
sary, and he is very happy man, as
are all the orchardists where the same
state of things exists.
The wide distance which the destruc-
tion OF the ecale has reached seems to
indicate that the disease is not local in
it's character, and will effect complete
eradication of the pest in this section of
the state. At least such is the appear
ance at present.
Science will be pressed into use to
determine the exact nature of this sim
gular manifestation, and if possible
utilize the fungoid or disease wherever
the red scale exists in the state.

WILL ADOPT A DIFFERENT PLAN
Work On the Cast Iron Section
Of the Big Sewer.
A New Method of Placing the Pipe
in the Ocean.
How tho Work Is Progressing on the
Outfall Sewer and Upon the
Tunnel Next the
Ocean.

Since the means first employed in
placing the castiron section of the outfall
sewer in the ocean have failed, the con-
tractors have been figuring on other
modes of procedure.
From an engineering point of view
the plan first employed seems more
feasible and consequently was acted
upon without hesitation. But after all
it has proven an elephant wholly un-
expected. The contractors are endeav-
oring TO sub-let this part OF the contract.
The intention is to form q small pier
by driving piles and running tho pipe
upon it, then letting it to the bottom.
1t can be oeen at glance that this
means OF placing the pipe is no small
job since the section weighs over 81
tons.
The section is 1900 feet long, one-half
OF which will be in the ocean, forming
the outfall. Each pipe composing the
whole section ia only II feet long, but
weighs ton and quarter. By tnis it
will be seen that considerable trouble
may be encounterered, but the eontrac-
tors think they will shortly have the big
Pipo pldccu.
City Engineer Dockweiler is OF the
opinion that the former plan of placing
the pipe will again have TO be resorted
to before a successful termination is
reached.
The work on the other unfinished sec.
tions is being pushed rapidly. The tun-
neting OF the sand dunes next the ocean
ls one Of the hardest pieces of work to
be encountered. Despite the fact that
several hundred feet OK sandy earth is
above the tunnel, it caves 60 rapidly
that great care must be exercised in the
timbering Of the tunnels. The tunnel
ID more than half finished.
The wood stove pipe is being placed
at very satisfactory gait. 1t il certain
that by the first of the year it will be fin
ished and in complete and satisfactory
operation.
