As to the last point the evidences
showing that it toJk Place at the
barn gate are the testimony of Zeig
Ter and his son. and the finding of
Bauerle's cap and Ssutters' pipe at
that point. While the State in its
testimony showing that Two came
down the road TO meet Sautters and
Bauerle, has the evidence Of Bauerle,
Mrs. Sautters, eye witness, and the
prints in the snow and the bullet
hole in the fence at that point.
Altogether the case is most re-
markable and complicated one. Mr..
Poole made the opening argument
for the State, ard was followed by
Mr.. 7. w. B. Duckwall tor the pris-
oner. Mr.. j. Nelson Wilmer follow
ed Mr.. Duckwall in behalf of the
State and made an impressive and
eloquent speech. Hon. D. B. Lucas
for the prisoner followed Mr.. Wis
ner and his speech was a thorough
exposition of the main parts involved
and a most feeling plea on behalf of
his client. Mr.. Forrest W. Brown
made the closing argument in a mas
terly effort.
The courthouse was crowded
with listeners at many hours of the
trial and was oyerfowed when the
arguments were made.
At $50 Wednesday morning the
jury announced that they had agreed
upon a verdict. They found the
pris ner guilty of voluntary man
slaughter and the court then over
ruled the motion made by Mr.. Lucas
fer new trial and sentenced The
prisoner TO two years in the peniten
tiarY. 4 stay OF Imprisonment in tht

time, and now they claim to have sutfl-
cient evidence to warrant the arrest OF
Poole and four other men. 1t is asserted
in police circles that man named Balr
was one of the leading spirits IN the
wrecking conspiracy, and he is now said
TO be IN Jail in Contra Costa County on a
charge. OF felony.
The Chief of Police of Oakland, how
ever, had not been advised of that fact, as
he Is simply acting under Instructions
from the detectives who have the war
rants. According to the story given out,
Bair is the man who got the others into
the trouble. 1t is asserted that he wrote
letter duplicating bis colleagues where
in he advised them TO run away and
avoid trouble. It is believed that the rail-
road detectives intercepted this letter and
thereby secured some valuable evidence.
Poole stated at the prison last night that
he knew nothing about the letter, and that
he is at loss to know why he was ar
rested
A strong effort was made by the detec-
tiyes to have Poole removed to Contra
Costa County at midnight, so as to avoid
habeas corpus proceedings. Frank
Brearty, who is the attorney for Poole,
made a demand on the Chief of Police
that the prisoner be detained until to-day.
He claimed that the warrant was not
properly indorsed, and therefore could
not be served.
At midnight Mrs. Poole was taken to
the police station and had long consul
tation with her husband. The latter as
sured her that be was not guilty OF any
ofense, and declared that his arrest was
an outrage. The detectives, it is said,
have TWO moro felony warrants to serve
in Oakland.

Peculiar Method of Gathering an Audi

SiICe III IeNiiSs
Before theaters were built in Texas
companies going there would play in the
scnoolhouses- ~ manager upon his arri-
val in town was assured by the inhabit-
ants whom he met that he would have a
"big crowd to the show that night"
The countenance of the hopeful mana
ger beamed with delight upon the school
house after supper, for there he found
such large crowd standing at the door
that he became almost delirious with
visions of the ponderous bags OF silver he
would carry from that town. He felt as
ii he walked on air as he pushed his way
through the crowd. opened wide the
schoolhouse doors and told the janitor to
light the lamps, says the Chicago Inter
ocean. The lamps were soon lighted, the
ticket box open, and the managers smile
reached a greater distance than he ever
dreamed his mouth would stretch. His
heart beat faster than for weeks before
Moment by moment, however, the
smile contracted, the bounding heart be-
came more tranquil, for the doors had
now been open and the lamps lighted
for twenty minutes, and still the crowd,
which had now acquired immense pro-
portions, remained outside. Not a soul
had entered. In desperation the mana
ger demanded of the janitor, why in
thunder don't they come in? ?''
'Oh," the janitor explained, "they
| won't come in until you ring the bell"
The manager sprang on TO the STEP
ladder. and with an energy which would
do credit to ''Curfew Shall Not Ring To-
Night" pulled that bell-rope until every
body in town could hear the bell ring.
The audience all rushed in and almost
pulled hair for seals. The next morning
this manager took away not only his
large bag OF silver, but with it a lesson in
| ringing in Texas audience.

A Schooner Man Takes a Shot at q
Steamboat Captain.
There was considerable excitement at
Henshaw's Landing, on the Grand Island
side of Steam boat Slough for few min
utes last Sunday evening, says the Rio
Vista Ne1CS.
It seems the schooner Albertine had
been loading with barley du ring the day,
and the steamer San joaquin No. came
along with barge with which to take
Holt Bros harvester to Colusa. The
Captain of the schooner refused to move
out of the way while the steamer took on
the threshing outfit. and to be just as
mean as the schooner Captain. the
steamer Captain crowded the schooner
up stream with the barge.
This operation made the skipper of the
schooner fairly boil, and after delivering
himself of a good big cargo OF bald
headed cuss words and other oaths, he
drew revolver and took deliberate aim
at the Captain in the pilot-house of the
steamer. The ball, however, went wide
of its mark, and the skipper of the
schooner suddenly hied himself to the
hold of his vessel, where he awaited with
bated breath until the San Joaquin n
had passed beyond hailing distance.
At last accounts all was quiet on Steam

SHARP REBUKB.
Riding a Railroad Hobby = Sensible
Reasoning.

lColusa SUM-
It sometimes happens that men may
ride a hobby through crowd without
exercising ordinary care as TO the logic of
their course and receive plaudits as loud
as if they were doing real service 10 their
country. Just now the fight against the
railroads is in position where the most
absurd statements passed unchallenged.
Instance the following from an editorial
in The San Francisco Call. Assuming
to be insolvent debtors the companies go
TO their creditor and beg for time. not as
a right, but as a favor. They ask for fifty
or hundred years. delay, promising to
discharge the debt by installments dur
ing that period and TO pay per cent. in
terest until the whole is paid off. What
they ask is practically equivalent to a
donation. Between gift outright and
loan for fifty years at per cent interest,
the difference is rnicroscopical."
Now the Government of the United
States can sell five per cent. bonds to run
fifty years at a premium, and hence there
is vast difference between "a gift out
per cent. interest" Ii the Government
can sell the roads for the amount due,
subject to the first mortgage, that is one
thing. but if it can't do that, then the
next best thing is to do as other creditors
do when debtor shows up insolvent-
get the best terms possible. and IN the
discussion of these terms it is senseless
for us TO run off into absurd statements.
1t does the side OF the people no good.
Questions of Importance should be dis
cussed in a spirit of candor and fairness,
and all sides should be presented. How
many men know whether or not the
Government can run railroad at "a profit?
How many know whether or not it would
insure to the interest of the people of
California? These are the matters that
should be calmly discussed. 1t can't be
done TO advantage in the "you-are-
another style.

OAKLAND STRIKERS.
Arrest of Two Men Who Had Plotted

to Wreck Train.
TSan Francisco Chronicle, August 10TH
The railroad detectives made a descent
on one OF the leading railroad strikers IN
Oakland last night and landed him in
the City Prison. Hank Poole, who was
employed as a switehman at the mole be-
fore the strike, was very much surprised
when the detectives took him in charge
on a charge of felony on warrant issued
IN Contra Costa County. 1t is claimed
that Poole and four other strikers en-
tered into conspiracy to wreck a train
near Port Costa.
The story is related that on July 18th
five men left Oakland and went up the
road for the purpose Of wrecking a train
of the Southern Pacific Company just
this side of Port Costa. According to the
story of the detective rail was mis-
placed at very dangerous point on the
road Happily the discovery was made
before passenger train came along and
the rail was replaced. thus averting a
serious accident. The railroad detectives

THE REAL ISSUE.
 The police commif sloners appear to us to be in about this situation: Dr. Smyth has, in his two communications to them, given them abundant evidence that state of things exists which calls for their stten- tion ss we'll as his attention and that of other people who are interested in good or der. They have said that he must be more specific, and they have appealed to the sober common sense of the community. The so- Der common sense of the community, as we understand 1t. recognizes that he has been specific enough to warrant them in moving if they really want to move. And the sober common sense of the community also recognizes that they haven't been ss anxious to move as they have been to refrain from moving. It also recognizes that the real nub of the discussion just now is whether the two commissioners whoee presence in the board is, to put 1t mildly, an impropriety, are to rule the board and the department, or whether the more legitimate and untrammelled com missioners are to do the boasing.
 It eeems to us that the commissioners will not act wisely if they file any more demurrers, pleas in abatement, or other devices to obscure the real issue. The real issue is not whether Dr. Smyth has done or will do his duty by the Police commissioners. It Is whether they will do their duty by the people, whose servants and not whose bosses they are.

 A pea jacket of light cloth with snor- nous pearl buttons is a dressy street sf, fair, though pea jackets cen hardly be called new. It is still modiah to combine velvet of two or more shades with lace in the making of dress cspes, but the ten dency is to select dull shades and make sr- tistic combinations. There are several sb- breviatiops in the way of outside gar ments that one can hardly call coats or closks. and that, having sleeves, are hard. ly capes. One odd little affair is really nothing but deep square yoke of moss green satin covered with cream guipure, and pair of enormous gigot moss green velvet sleeves.
