BRUNSON A BURGLAR.
NOTED CROOKS BLOW OPEN A
PALMDALE SAFE.
The Safe crackers Escaped From the
ReddIng Jail-Arrested at Vincent
by Deputy Sheriff
Dowler.

A bold robbery was committed last
Friday night at Palmdale, in the Ante
lope valley. A safe in the store Of j..
Scherer was blown open and over 800
taken. The burglars also carried away
over 5000 worth of goods, consisting Of
cutlery and dry goods.
Within few hours after the burglary
had been committed, Deputy Sheriff
Dowler of Pslmdale arrested the perpe-
traitors at small station called Vincent.
There were three of them, two
Of whom proved to be noted
crooks. The burglars names are, Henry
Hoyt, alias Stubbs, etc. John Brunson,
alias Dia mond, ETC., and William Drew,
17-year-old boy whom the two crimi-
mails picked up in this city several days
ago.
Hoyt and Brunson gave their names
yesterday as Charles II. Long and AL
bert Martin. They are wanted at Red
| ding, this state, where they escaped
from the county jail November 81, 1898.
The photograph of the two men sent
out from Redding shows that Brunson
was sentenced to Is years in states
prison from San Francisco. He wore q
convict's clothes when the photograph
was taken, showing that he was serving
out his term.
After the crooks escaped from the
Redding Jail, they came south. They
were in this city several
weeks. On their trip down this way
the men stopped off long enough to lay
their plans to rob the store at Palm
dale. They picked up young Drew in
this city and went back to blow open
the safe.
The son of Mr.. Scherer sleeps in the
store, but on Friday night he happened
to be away until II O'Clock. When he
returned at that hour he found the safe
blown open and the store ransacked.
Deputy Sheriff Dowler was immedi-
ately notified. He boarded the first
train and caught the burglars at Vim
cent, where they attempted to jump q
freight train.
The crooks had hidden the stolen
goods near the station, probably intend
ing to return and get them after the
"thing had blown over" They had all
replaced their old shoes with new ones
from the store, and the boy Drew had on
new suit OF clothes, having Durnad his
old ones.
The officer secured all the property
andsyesterday brought the three burg
lars to the county Jail. Detective
Thacker, of Wells, Fargo & Co., identi-
fed Hoyt aa an "old-timer" in the busi-
ness, having known him 25 years.
Drew is the boy who was arrested last
Monday on South Spring street
by Officer Dugan for stealing four
loaves OF bread from Edward. Ed
wards, driver of bakery wagon. The
boy pleaded starvation and was released
by Justice Seaman. He says that he
stood guard while Hoyt and Brunson
cracked the safe and was rewarded by q
share of the booty. 1t is not known
how he fell in with the crooks.

ORANGES HARD TO FREEZE.
The Reason for Their Resistance to
Cold.

The Reason for Their Resistance to
Cold.
Pomona Progress: The fact that ice
to the thickness of quarter of an inch
has formed on vessels of water in several
Pomona orange groves this week and
that oranges on trees short distance
away have remained uninjured by the
cold, has excited comment of lncredulity
among the eastern visitors here this
season. The late Professor Newberry, Of
the Columbia college, in New York,
showed scientifically few years ago.
how oranges and apples are able to resist
frost to an unusual degree. Els expla-
nation is especially interesting to every
citrus fruit grower.
The professor showed that it is law
OF crystallization or freezing or eolidify-
ing that this process depends on sew
eral conditions of the liquid to be crys-
tallized or frozen. by which. is meant
simply that the liquid is changed into a
solid, The effect of evaporation has
much to do with it, aH this itself reduces
the temperature Of LIQUID to a considera-
BILE extent, as may be discovered by any
person who will pour little ether in his
hand and blow upon it, when the greatly
increased coolness will be felt. In India.
water is frozen by exposing 1t IN porous
jars to the cold night winds, when the
temperature OF the air is several degrees
above the freezing point.
Ice may be formed in a red-hot cruci-
BILE by the sudden evaporation of liquid
carbonic acid, or in a saucer under the
receiver of an air pump by the evapOra-
tion of it and the rapid absorption of
the vapor that escapes by reason of the
reduced pressure by sulphuric acid in
another saucer.
Again, solutions of various substances.
as sugar aud cryetallized salts, will not
freeze at the ordinary temperature at
which ice ia formed in pure water. Thus
solution of salt requires lower tenn
perature to become frozen than fresh
water does, and it is we'll known that
sugar syrup can hardly be frozen at any
ordinary temperature. Further, the
tension und, which liohids are held
has an effect in the same way; light
tension makes freezing easier, while a
high one retards the congelation.
Now, all these facts have bearing in
the case of oranges and other fruits, as
we'll as in the sap Of trees. Watery sap
OF very succulent plants freezes much
more easily than the sweet and dense
cap of the maple or the hickory. Some
buds will resist freezing most stubbornly
at very low temperature, and the res
inous covering of the bud scales OF treer.
as those of the horse chestnut, exert d
great resistance to freezing.
The sap or juice of the orange contains
large quantity OF citric acid in solu-
tion, and low temperature is required
to CONCEAL such q solution. 1t also CON
taine considerable sugar, and this tende
to resist cold. The sap or juice, which
exists in this fruit in the proportion OF
7S per cent in the orange. lie under con.
siderable tension, and this exerts some
resistance to freezing. And, finally,
the sap is not exposed to evaporation,
because of its tight covering by which
it is protected.

FURY OF THE STORM

and Telegraph Wires Were Not
Damaped.

The small-sized cyclone, with its
accompanying deluge of rain last even
ing, created but little damage in this
city, according to reports received up
to midnight What might have been
q disastrous panic in the Moody tent
on Court house square. by the collap-
sing of half of the canvas was pre-
vented only by the presence Of mind of
persons occupying the platform.
At 7.80 o'clock the tent contained
more than it's usual crowd at that hour,
as many had hurried to seek shelter by
the impending storm. Soon after the
first burst of the wind and rain the
singing was begun but the voices were
almost inaudible above the tattoo of the
rain on the canvas and the shrieks of
the storm
Suddenly and without warning the
western end Of the tent came down
with violence upon the heads Of a por-
ton of the audience. Many were
thrown to the ground in the confusion,
and the screams OF number of women
were mingled with the shouts of those
on the platform that there was no dan
ger.
A MOMENT OF DARKNESS.
Fortunately the ropes supporting the
large arc lights remained secure.
though the lamps swung in close prox-
unity to the heads of the people. For
moment the lights went out, but the
current soon reappeared.
A number of men went outside when
the wind abated and in few moments
secured the stakes which had been
loosened from the wet dirt and the
meeting progressed without further in
terruption.
During the most violent period Of the
storm the electric cars wers stopped
by the motormen, who could not see
ahead in the face Of the wind and
rain.
The wires of the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies worked
poorly during the early hours Of the
evening, but at 10 o'clock each COM
pany reported that all the liues were
working properly.
On Carbon street there was such a
flood of water beneath the railroad
bridge that the cars could not pass,
and for an hour or more passengers
had TO be given transfers to cars on
Penn avenue running toward the city.
The telephone service was not dis
turbed during the evening.

BUSY DAY IN POLICE COURT.
A Brutal Son and q May6sld THE
Brought to Justice.


Alderman Ntzsimmons had variety Of
cases before him at the police court yes
terday morning. James Crossin, Of Hyde
Park avenue, was arrested at the instance
Of his mother. Crossin is a railroader and
acted most brutally toward his widowed
mother, who was i'll in bed. On Tuesday

s64, was found in his possession. He
evidently thought be was in New York,
as he offered the police $40 to allow him to
escape. The offer, needless to state, was
secuted and Mr.. Brawdki was escorted to
the police cells. He was very anxious
about pocketbook, and respectfully re-
quested the police to throw it away. The
pocket book was identified as the property
of the person from whom the dollars had
been stolen. He admitted his offence and
was sent to the county jail to await his
trial at the quarter sessions.
Thomas White was arrested on Lacka-
wanna avenue at 1880 o'clock Tuesday
