OUT At OAK PARK.
Some Jottings From That Young and
Wide-Awake Suburb.
a Kick Against the City Do2-Fighters
"A Young Minister Ensnared by
Cupid-New Schoolhouse.

Fog to the right Of US. fog to the left of
US, fog all around us; but still not SO
dense but a few of us at least became
aware something unusual was going on
in our little village the other night.
There was an extra large, fiaring head
light placed in front Of one of the cheap
beer saloons in the neighborhood. That
of itself was enough to indicate that
something was aStir out of the ordinary,
and on investigating we found a low
browed, sullen crowd of toughs and hood
lums congregated out'here to make night
hideous with very unrefning and low
down entertainments dog fight.
They are too well watched in town, l
suppose, to attempt such thing, and
they barely escaped arrest out here. al
though they did wait until they thought
most of the citizens were wrapped in
slumber before they dared to start in.
one who does not believe i'll such an
exhibition got word to the Constable; but
whether the roughs got an in1ling of it or
not do not know. At all events, the poor
beasts were separated before the Con-
stable arrived. 1t was most dreadful
thing to hear those poor dogs growing
and tearing each other. We do not want
any such exhibitions Of brutality out
mere; we have wickedness enough of our
own, without importing any. And it is a
terrible shame and disgrace to our civil
ization to think such things can and do
give pleasure to human beings who call
themselves men.
The Jingle of wedding bells also pene-
trated the fog Of last week. One OF our
loveliest and most amable girls was mar
ried on Wednesday to the young minister
who had been making most all of our
young bellies hearts 90 pit-a-pat for the
last six months. But the die is cast now,
and our girls will have to look elsewhere
for consolation. We shall miss them
both, but hope they will be happy in the
new field to which they have gone.
The work on the new schoolhouse is
nearing completion. The building con-
sists of three large rooms, wherein we
expect to try to teach the young idea how
to sprout. The rooms will not all be
used at present, but those interested saw
a great future for Oak Park and with
wise forethought concluded they had bet
ter prepare for future emergencies. This
fine new school building is an honor to
our location and is the direct result OF the
ambition and enterprise OF our Oak Park
citizens.

Failure to Trace a Portion of 1t to
This CITY.
Sheriff Cunningham of Stockton was
in the city yesterday, part Of his business
being to ascertain if some money stolen
from one Gustav Legrer, about two years
ago, was on deposit in bank here.
Legrer, who is an old man and a shoe
maker, was robbed in November, 1891, of
81 600 in gold by two boys named Joseph
Batanque and Dick Hibbitt. Legrer had
his money in a Stockton bank and for
some reason he drew it out and had it
slowed away in an old boot in his house.
The boys named got clew to the treas
ure, and, watching their chance, took the
money and went on a tour with it. The
first named went to Denver, and return
ing from there was arrested in this city,
and the other in San Francisco. When
arrested neither of them had any, of the
money, and claimed they had spent it.
Batanque was sentenced to five years
at Whittier, and Hibbitt was acquitted.
Someone lately informed Legrer that
the boys had not spent all of the money,
and that most of it had been deposited in
a Sacramento bank.
To satisfy the old man, Sheriff Cun-
ningham accompanied him here to find
out if the money had been deposited
here, but no trace Of such having been
the case was found, and he is satisfied
that The boys managed to spend it all be-
lore they We're arrested.

TWO SUDDEN DEATHS.

Deputy County Clerk Ross and Mrs.
Frank Boyle Die Suddenly.
Maurice Ross, one of the deputies in the
office of County Clerk Hamilton, died
suddenly yesterday afternoon. He had
been ailing for long time, and was
forced few days ago to give up his duties
in the office and take to his bed.
A few minutes before his death he said
to MIR. Hamilton, who had called to see
him: 81 have not written up some of
those court minutes yet, and am little
behind on some of the other work.
These were almost his last words, and
showed that he was faithful to his duty
till the last. He was a native of New
Iork, and leaves a wife and one child.
DIED IN A CHAIR.
Late yesterday afternoon Frank Bowie.
a mechanic employed at the railroad shops
and who is on one of the night shifts
awoke from his afternoon sleep only to
find his wife lying on the floor near his
bedside, where she had fallen from a chair
in which she had been sitting.
\ physician was summoned at once
but he found that the lady was beyond
all human aid, having died the moment
she fell frcm the chair
1t appears that Mrs. Boyle had been
slightly i'll on the preceding day, but was
about yesterday, as usual, though not
feeling strong. Her sudden death is A
severe blow to her husband and relatives
and wide circle of friends. She leaves
no children.
