SAVED BY A THOUGHTFUL DOG
a Canadian Found Freezing to Death
on a Railroad just in Time.

One evening last week W. j. Wilson of
King was leaving Tottenham by the road
leading to the west. He must needs.
therefore, cross the railroad, saws the
Toronto MdiL. In doing SO the horse
SHE'D and Mr.. Wilson was thrown across
the track so violently that he was stun
ned. He would certainly have perished
through exposure to the severe weather
or have been run over by a passing train
had he remained there all night.
Old Rover, owned by John Wilson
bailitf, was making one of his nocturnal
perambulations through the town about
l o'clock-no doubt doing duty as night
watchman. Crossing the track he noticed
the unfortunate individual and immedi-
ately set out to alarm @, A. Nolan. who
resides in the nearest house to the track
Here he barked and whined until Mrs.
Nolan arose to chase him away. but ne
only returned to continue his howlings.
Mr.. Nolan then conceived the idea that
something might probably be wrong
about the mill, as Rover often visited
them there during the day and was well
acquainted with the premises. He i'm
mediatelY dressed, went outside, and
found the dog ready to lead toward the
mill. Their way led across the track. but
when they got that far Rover's course
was directed up the track to where the
unconscious man lay. When Mr.. Nolan
arrived on the scene he saw the cause of
the dogs trouble, and took the unfortn-
nate man to his house, where, with good
care and proper attention, he revived. In
haitian hour freight train went thunder
ing by, and if it hadn't been for the faith
full canine hero-ever since the pet of the
town-the Wilson family might have
been lamenting the loss Of husband or
father.

CITY OF MEXICO, June 27.-The talk of
the city is the atrocious and inexplicabIe
crime of beautiful young woman named
Anita Sanchez at Piedra Gordo. Without
any real cause, so far as can be learned,
although she says she was angry, Sonora
Sanchez seized her pretty little eight
year-old daughter and forced her into a
large bakers oven, then lighted fire and
roasted the child to death. The screams
OF the little one were heard by an old
female servant, who from place of con-
cealment saw the climax of the dreadful
deed. The murderess was arrested, and,
after learning the story of the servant,
confessed her guilt 1t is thought that
the death of the child was the sequel to a
bitter quarrel between Sonora Sanchez
and her husband. The woman will be
imprisoned for life, as the law does not
provide the death sentence penalty.

CRIMSON AND BLUE.
Hard-Fought Ball Game Between YaI
and Harvard.

ana harvard.
NEW HAVEN, June 27.-There was a
mixing up of crimson and blue to-day.
when Yale and Harvard fought the sec
ond baseball game of the series out at the
Yale field and Yale won by a score of 3 to
0, not, however, till the fiercest fight had
been made by Harvard which has been
recorded in college sporting annals here
for long time. 1t was a fine fielding
contest and was won by Yale, who out
tielded and outbatted the visitors COM
pletely. The scoring, however, was all
punched. For seven innings a fruitless
battle was ragged. Not a Harvard man
and but two Yale men reached third base
till the eighth inning, but Harvard then
retired without scoring. Yale went to first
on safe hit, and a passed ball placed
him on second. Murphy knocked out
his second single, and Carter trotted to
third. AS Murphy stole second the ap-
plause became terrific. Mason dropped
the bali, and Carter slid under with the
first run of the game. Highlands lost
his head, and threw the ball to center
field. All the baserunners crossed the
plate, and the scene which followed was
beyond description. When quiet was re-
stored the remaining Yale batsmen went
out in order. AS the series is now tie.
the decisive game will be played in New
York City on Saturday next

Sixth Annual Convention in Session at
Saratoga.

saratoga.
SARATOGA N. ", June 27.-The sixth
annual Convention of the State League OF
Republican Clubs met here to-day. Sec
retary Hedges read letters of regret from
eXPresident Harrison, ex-Vice- Presi-
dent Morton and Whitelaw Reid.
Harrison said: 81 hope the meeting
will be successful. and think l may add
without the transgression of prophecies
that there is nothing in the present bust
ness situation to suggest any great gain
to the country as result of the Inaugural
tion of Democratic politics."
In his letter Whitelaw Reid said :
"You find the country in an unfortunate
condition. Our duty is to do everything
TO help the President and Congress to re-
lieve the situation. and our party is not
unfaithful to that duty. But while
Loyalty cooperating to meet the existing
dangers, we must not be charged with
creating them. The demand of the hour
is-it has been since the 18th of last March
to end the uncertainty, and to let the
business men know where they stand.
A delay for six months or more argues in
itself extraordinary confidence of the
superior wisdom of the Executive meet
ing the crisis or the extraordinary fear of
what the Democratic Congress might
do"
After reading the Secretary's annual re-
port the convention unanimously adopted
the report of the Committee on Resolu-
tions, reaffirming the doctrines of the
Republican party and touching on State
matters.

some Expressions BY Interior Califor-
MIA Papers.


MIA Papers.
Plumas Independent: There are more
people in La Porte to-day than can be
accommodated at the hotels, and no more
than standing room on the sidewalks for
the miners and business men who have
been attracted to the door Of the mount
aims" by recent discoveries in Southern
Plumas and inaugurated mining enter
prises in the vicinity Of the grand old
camp. An old-time resident of La Porto
says that fifteen years have passed since
such gathering Of people has been seen
in that place, ana every coach which ar
rives is laden down with passengers.
The cause of this influx of people is TO be
found in the determination OF a company
of San Francisco capitalists to work the
rich tailings Of Slate Greek.
Stockton Mail: The evil effect of the
novels of the Observation-Disclosures Jerusa-
lem-and-J ehosaphat style is strikingly
illustrated by recent episode in san
Bernardino. That town for some time
past has been troubled with petty rob-
berries and midnight depredations. Re-
Gently it was discovered that a gang of
boys ranging from 10 to 10 years in age
had committed all these felonies and mis-
demeanors. Not only was this fact
shown at their examinations, but it was
also proved that they had been melted
to the deeds by reading the kind of liter
ature to which reference is made. It is
kind Of stuff with which the world could
dispense to its betterment.
Oakland Enquirer: Judge Grant holds
that the procedure to change the location
of the Capital must be by law, or bill, and
not by resolution, and supports the argu-
ment by quoting from the old Constitu-
ton, whose provision on the subject was
in part copied into the new enc. on this
ground, therefore, he decides that the
amendment proposed by the last Legis-
lature cannot be legally submitted to the
voters. 1t is not that, az the san Jose
lawyer stated the Constitution cannot be
amended to move the State Capital, but
that special way is provided to do it,
and that this way has not been followed
in the preparatory proceedings.
bakersfield CdiJOTBi01: THAT old
fiction" says the Redlands Citrogrdph,
about North California being able to
market fruit earlier than South California
is being gradually dispelled by the intro
duction Of proper varieties" There is no
"old fiction" about it. The earliest de-
ciduous fruits produced in this State
come from certain points north Of the
central line and always have done so. 1t
is not question of varieties at all, but of
peculiar climatic characteristics. What
is the use of trying to fool people by mis-
representing a fact that is patent to all
who are well posted upon the peculiari-
ties of California?

SAN Francisco, June 27.-F. G. Van
Pelt, man about 80 years old, committed
suicide at 121 Montgomery street this
afternoon by inhaling chloroform. The
Chinese servant tried to open the door of
Van Pelt's room several times and finally
informed the landlady that he could get
no response to his knocks. A duplicate
key was brought into use and the door
opened, when Van Pelt was found lying
on the bed with towel thrown over his
face, which was saturated with chloro-
form. Mrs. McInnis, the landlady, stated
that Van Pelt engaged the room which he
occupied one week ago to-day. He then
paid the rent in advance. Thursday
morning following the Chinaman in
formed her that something was the mat
ter with her new roomer. Upon entering
Van Pelts apartments she found him
under the influence of chloroform. A
doctor was called and Van Pelt was
brought to his senses. Van Pelt had
been in the habit of writing out his own
prescriptions and told the landlady that
he was suffering from neuralgia of the
lawyer of New York City.
On the 1915 o'clock trip of the steamer
Encinal from this side to-day there was
an unusually large crowd of passenge rs.
When the steamer was opposite Goat
Island man about 50 years of age was
observed pacing up and down the lower
deck. He was neatly altired, but did not
appear to be at all disturbed and seemed
to be meditating. Suddenly he made
one rapid stride and disappeared off the
after end of the boat. At once the cry of
MAN overboard!" was raised, and the
steamer was stopped. A boat was
lowered, but the body was not recovered.
His hat was found floating in the bay,
but there was nothing in the lining, nor
marks about it that would lead to the
identity of the owner. From what could
be learned the man appeared to be about
80 years of age. Persons who were close
to the man assert that the deceased ap-
peared TO have heavy weight in his
hand, and his pockets appeared to be
filled with weights of some kind. I'm
doubtedly the unfortunate man had
planned to end his life.
a man giving the name of Curtis Gun
ningham was found hanging to gas fix
ture this morning in the Railroad House
at 533 Commercial street. He was dis
covered by lodger in the house, who
called for help and the man was cut
down. He was taken to the Receiving
Hospital and resuscitated. He stated
that he was suffering from an incurabIe
malady and wanted to die. The mans
clothes were in rags and his appearance
indicated long suffering and want of
food. He was sent to the Home for In
ebriates from the hospital.
