l the matter of the haheas corpus pro-

ton papers signed by Governor Budd
were presented in Judge Smiths court
yesterday morning. The writ was there
uponsdsmissed and the prisoner remsnd-
ed. He was at once arrested by Detective
Powell OF Atlanta, Ca, who left with his
prisoner yesterday afternoon.
The friends of Ri ienstrom have made
3 hard fight to keep him from returning
south. Thev are of the opinion that it is
a case of persecution instead of proscu
ton. He arrived here one week before
his arrest, accompanied by his wife. who
since her arrival gave premature birth to
a little girl, brought on by the arrest of
her husband. 1t is very sad case. The
Hebrews OF the city have. however, made
up purse of S400 and will see that Mrs.
Rheinstrom does not suffer.

would marry me. She said she would
think it over. Both herself and her
brother were opposed to the proposal at
first, but after talking the matter over
with their friends changed their minds.
"All this occurred while was in u hazy
condition. When the effect of the spree
had worn off l realized the peculiar posi-
ton in which my fooli h proposal had
placed me. There is that unfortunate
promise and it acts as a bar to my sum-

THE DURRANT CASE

Threatening Letters Sent to School Girls in
San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-Theodore
Durant will spend several quiet weeks in
the county Jail before he is placed on trial
Minnie Williams. The police will not
hurry him to trial, desiring to give him
abundant time to prepare for his de-
fense. The case will, therefore, not be
called until July.
Chief of Detectives Lees said today that
the supreme court had passed structures
on the police department for having
brought to speedy tria, Fredericks, who
shot Bank Teller Herrick. Though lie es
believes the criticism unjust, he said the
supreme court would be given no oppor-
tuty for finding the same fault in Dur
rants case.
He added that the case of the prosecu-
ton is complete, and that it is ready for
tri:tl at any time. The police are dissat-
ised with the evidence of Organist King
who, in palpable effort to shield Dur
rant, stated at the preliminary cxamina-
tion that he detected the odor of escaping
gas in the church on April Sd. although
this statement is contradicted by the jan
itor and by two plumbers.
Threatening letters have been received
by the school girls who identified Dur
rant as Blanche l.amont's escort from
school on the day of her disappearance.
The girls have been warn d that if they
testify against Durr ant they will receive

struction of the Central Pacific railroad.
The demurrer sets forth that the only
obligation or liability ever created by the
government in favor of the United States
against the Central Pacific and Western
Pacific railroads was on the bonds guar
anteed by the government, which it is
claimed do not constitute debt against
either of the companies or right to dc
mand payment from them because of the
bonds failing of redemption.
The demurrer continues that the only
relief open to the government is the
confiscation of the corporations.
1t is further contended that no valid
claim was ever presented to Leland Stan
ford during his life or to his widow since
his death. This, it is claimed, vitiates
any claim that the Uuited States might
have had.
