MEAD's HORSE RECOVERED
Brechtel Brings it Back to This Cit.
and Leaves it Tied.


and Leaves it Tied.
Deputy Sheriff. Ben O'Neil returned
from trip to Rocklin yesterday morn
ing in search of Mead's horse and X uhl-
mans cart, which were stolen from their
stables on the night of the 18th. Sheriff
ONeil had telegraphed up the line to
look out for them and received dispatch
saying they were at Rocklin.
When Deputy O'Neil arrived there he
found that Constable Fleckenstein had
found Fred Breehtel, who was arrested at
Oak Park about a year ago for petty lar
ceny and who had his children in the cart
with him. Brechtel, however, had
pleaded that he had no wrong intention,
but had taken the cart to go into the foot
hills and get some pine burs for fuel.
lie sottened Fleckenstein's heart SO
that he allowed him to go, on promise
that he would return that day and bring
the cart and horse back here. To his
chagrin, however, Brechtel did not put
in an appearance, nor has he been seen
since. ONeil, however, found the horse
and cart on his return, on Z street, be-
tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth, tied to
tree. AS Brechtel is well known, he will
be easily found when wanted. 1t is diff
cult TO conceive what he intended to do
with the horse and cart, as he was en-
cum bered with his children.

DIED OF HIS INJURY

Death of Louis a. human, Who Was
Shot Last Week.
Louis A. Ruman, the younglman who
accidentally shot himself last Friday
while hunting in the mountains near
Lake Tahoe and was brought here for
treatment. died last night at the Ridge
Home Hospital.
1t is probable that if it had not been for
the hard journey of fifty miles he had to
undergo through the mountains to reach
Placerville his life would have been
saved, but the trip had to be taken.
The young mans relatives were with
him during his last moments. They have

He Cruelty Beat His Wife and Little
Child.
The police were called to house on
Second street, between @ and r, last
night to stop a man from beating his wife
and child.
AS usual in such cases, when the Off
GERS asked the woman if she would swear
to a complaint against her husband, if
he were arrested. she said she would
rather not.
The man struck MS wife a powerful
blow behind the ear. He was not salts
fed with beating his wife. but also beat
his little boy in a shameful manner.
On account of his wife refusing to have
him arrested, he will not get the punish
ment he justly deserves.

A FLYING RUMOR,

A rumor was current about the hotels
yesterday. which, it was said, had reached
here from Honolulu by the steamer Mono
wal. and was TO the effect that the Pro

Colonel William Shafter who is in com.

charge OF the Midwinter Fair Guards, to
take charge of the Provisional Government
troops at Hawaii. 1t was said that the

BILE in view of the fact that Colonel j. II.
Soper, who at present commands the Pro
visl0Dal Government troops on the island,
has rendered bis resignation in that capa-
city, and consequently the executive

lookout for suitable successor. Know

are Gtscharglng more or less or their con-

much is required of this one drainage way,
and that sewers along Claiming and Ban

from the slopes TO the bay. Many of the
streets are not graded from the center. and
instead OF running off IN to the cutters the
