President Cleveland has appoints
ed Thursday, the Goth inst, as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer, to
be kept and observed by all the
people of the land. The turkey
will cut quite an important figure
on THE occasion, aud there is no
good reason Why the table of every
household hereabouts should not
be ornamented with a specimen OF
this noble bird on that day. Wild
turkeys are plentiful in this section
and we have of late seen the DO
mestic fowl offered for sale at a
price within the reach of all-two
for one dollar.

W. Q. Millsnder Found Guilty Of Bur-
giary in Short Order.
William 8. Millender was tried an
convicted of burglary in Judge McKin-
ley's court yesterday. in spite OF his at
tempt to throw the blame ON the shoul-
ders OF friend of his named Eng gland.
He was accused OF stealing a watch and
chain from the room of Josiah Nell, in
a house at Vernon. Nell put the watch
on q stand by his bed when he retired
and when he arose in the morning it
was gone. Millsnder had formerly lived
there. He and England were arrested
on account of the discoveries made BY
the police detectives. 1t was found that
England had pawDed the watch, and
that Millender had bought dollar
worth of poker chips with the chain.
After his arrest. England admitted hav-
ing had the watch, but said that Millen-
der gave it to him. The odicers became
convinced that ne was not the burglar,
and he was released.
At the trial yesterday Mlllender tried
to make it appear that his friend was
the thief, and also tried to establish an
alibi; but his witnesses did not bear
him out in his claim that he was in q
barber shop at the time of the burglary.
The jury did not deliberate more than
10 minutes on the case, and found the
defendant guilty of burglary in the first
degree. He>will be sentenced Wednes.

MAY BE AN APPEAL.

Al Cobler's Friends Said to Be Contem-
plating - New Move.
The district attorneys Office WAS
somewhat psrturbed yesterday, owing to
q message cent to them that it was ex-
pected to appeal the AL Cobler case to
the supreme court. The remaining in
dictments against Coblsr, mum bering IL.
were dismissed by the district attorney
on the understanding that no appeal
would be taken in the case wherein
Coblsr was found guilty.
If an appeal should be taken and the
case should fail in any way, it would
entail considerable trouble and expense
in the prosecution Of Cobler. Although
the indictments are dismissed 1t would
not preclude prosecution, but it would
necessarily be by complaint and infor-
nation.
twas learned later that one of the
defendants counsel had declined to
prosecute an appeal.

DETECTIVE BENSON DEAD.

Career Of an Honest and Conscisntiou
Worker.
Detective Alfred o. Benson oil the po-
lice department died at o'clock last
evening at his residence. 1888 Temple
street. Mr.. Benson had been suffering
from typhoid pneumonia for several
weeks, and his death was not unex-
pected.
The demise OF Detective Benson is .
heavy blow upon his wife and Eve chill
dren, who were entirely dependent upon
q kind and loving husband and father.
The police force will feel his loss, for
Chief Glass never had more capable, .
more industrious or more honest omcer

friend. He was q man OF more than
ordinary ability and good heartedness,
q man of conscientious scruples, and
with fairness and honesty TO his lei
low men. He commanded the respect
of all who knew him.
Mr.. Benson was born in Placerville,
this state, July 20, 1854. By the time
he reached his majority he was found
earning q livelihood at HOLSTER, San
Benito county and other places. Upon
coming to Los Angeles he accepted pc
sition az conductor and gripmsn upon
the Temple street cable road. He wal
employed here when he was proffered
position on the police force. He joined
tho force on February is, 1891. In Sep
tembcr of that year he MAS promotet

Ger to the detective department..
In this department be always &C
Quilted himself nobly and with unusua
efficiency. Mr.. Benson gained his pro.
motion BY arresting Louis Matheny ans
his com panion. Suspecting them o
ssfe.eracking, he tracked them for days
until one night they became SO alarmed
that they bolted, throwing away bur
glars outfit as they ran. Benson ar
rested them, and they were ordered GU
OF town. Matneny was last year tris.
