HE WAS ORDERED AWAY.
His Refusal Met With a Threat
to Shoot and He Decided
to Go.
MADE AN ATTEMPT TO RETURN
But Shot From the Child:
Rifle Sent Him Fleeing Down
the Street.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, July T.
Miss Lulu Bogart, the fourteen-year-old
daughter of DR.. S. G. Bogart, made hero
inc of herself last night by taking shot
with parlor rife at an impudent tramp
who invaded the premises.
Her parents had gone to the theater,
and with sister two years younger Miss
Lulu was entertaining two girl friends
about their own age. About half-past 10
a tramp entered the yard, walked upon
the front porch where the children were
seated, and was soon lying comfortably in
hammock. The children retreated, but
Lulu soon called up enough courage to
come out and order him away. The tramp
refused to go.
The child then returned indoors, got a
parlor rife, which she had used but once
before, loaded it, and repeated her order to
leave under threat of shooting.
The tramp laughed and tainted her
with, "Why don't you shoot?"
~ will if you don't leave instantly" re-
sponded the girl.
The tramp slowly got out Of the hammock,
cleared the yard, and started down street.
After he had gone about forty feet he
stopped and started back, when Lulu
raised the rifle to her shoulder and fired.
The tramp fed wildly down the street.
All this time Miss Bogart was not tie
least excited, and when her parents re-
turned half an hour later she related the
occurrence as if it had been an everyday
affair Nor was she elated over the deed.
The Bogarts are well-to-do, move in the
best circles, and their home on Sixth
street is one of the finest in the city.

streetcar conductor, was found dead on the
road, about two miles out from the city, at

says an American abroad, mot even Chi
cago, that impress one SO with a sense of
newness and of great development as Ber-

teen years ago, when it seemed hardly as
much of city as Dresden. Now it is so
wonderfully built up and improved that
New York seems in comparison with it an
old-fashioned community, slow in its
growth. 1t is much the same with Glas-
gov, whose progress in recent years has
been little less than marvellous. If there

SANTA CLARA FRUIT CROP,
Better Prices Being Paid for
ApriCotS Than Last
Year.
The Streams Of the Entire County
Being Stocked With the
Fry of Trout.

SAN JOSE, CAL, July I'm an inter-
view in regard to the fruit prospects yester-
day Colonel Weaver said: During the
past ten days large amount of apricots
have been bought in this county The
apricots were contracted for for canning
purposes, and for choice fruit $50 per ton
was paid week ago. Prices have dropped
a little during the past week. but $50 is
readily paid for good fruit. Apricots are
very thin on the trees this year, but are
very large and fine. This is the kind OF
fruit Gamers especially desire and they are
willing to pay $35 per ton for such fruit.
The top price last year was $50 per ton"
Peaches are ripening fast, said Colonel
R. P. McGlincy yesterday, "but not many
sales are being made. Good prices are be-
ing realized from Eastern shipments OF
early peaches.
"Six weeks ago it looked as though the
peach crop would be tremendous one,
but so many have fallen since that time
that the crop will only be medium one.
1t is little early for prices to be fixed for
peaches, but there is talk OF prices ranging
from $40 to $40 per ton, according to quail
ity. The top price, $40, is said to be Of
fered for fancy clings. 1t is reported that
$50 has been offered for clings, but this is
not enough, as it only means about
cents per pound for the dried product.
The price realized for dried fruit is usually
much higher than this"

At any rate, it was big thing for the
town in those days. They had some
fine stock on exhibition, and a Pennsyl-
van.an had sent down about twenty Of
the finest looking hogs you ever saw.
They were mostly Chester whites, and if
recollect Alright they were exhibited by
Thomas Wood, great hog and cattle
fancier of twenty or thirty years ago.
He 1t was who introduced that famous
breed of hogs, the Chester white, and
ne made great deal of money out of his
fancy stock. He was a Friend, a Quak-
err you know, who used the plain Ian
guage and wore broad brimmed hat
He was smart old gentleman, honest
and prosperous. He sent his hogs from
State fair to State fair and they took so
many prizes and blue ribbons that each
hog looked like boy who had spent all
his money making a collection of
badges.
When the Macon judges made their
awards they gave blue ribbons very lib
orally 10 the razor backs, but not one of
the fat, sleek Pennsylvania hogs got
prize. The owner Of the exhibit did not
understand it, so he hunted up one of
The judges and said in the language of
the Friends:
4 know thee to be an honest man
and do not question thy fairness in the
award, but to CRAFTY my own curiosity
l would be glad to have thee tell me
why thee gave all the prizes to the ma
tive stock and what fault thee found in
mine?"
My friend, the committee admired
your hogs greatly the judge replied
They are certainly handsome, and
have no doubt that in your section they
are the best breed to raise, but they are
not suited for this country. They are
so short legged and fat that niger
could catch them in two minutes. What
We require in hog in the South is legs
and wind. We give our prizes for
speed"
