TOUCHED A LIVE WIRE,
A STOCKTON LINEMAN RECEIVES
FRIGHTFUL BURNS AND
INJURIES.
SHOCKED INTO INsENs1BLITY, HE
FALLS FROM A TALL POLE TO
THE GROUND.

STOCKTON, CAL, Oct. %. - William
Hinthurn, lineman in the employ of the
Sunset Telephone Company, had a thrill
ing experience with live wire this after
noon. He assembled q telephone pole at
the corner of Hunter street and Weber
avenue to make repairs, and failed to no.
tice that a wire on the electric light sys-
tenn had been crossed with the telephone
wire and was resting upon the cross-arm
of the pole. He threw one leg over the
cross-arm AND in some way came in con-
tact with the live wire.
People in the vicinity were first apprised
of Hinthurn's position by two terrible
screams from the unfortunate man. Look
ing up they saw him fall from the cross
arm directly across the wire, and he
seemed utterly unable to release himself.
People near by heard him utter a few
means, and ran to render him any assist
ance possible; but in a few seconds
of wires and fell to the hard cobblestones,
thirty feet below. He was picked UP ap-
parently dead, and a hasty examination
by physician showed that his leg was
broken and his hipbone fractured. His
clothing was burned and his hands liter
ally roasted.
Hinthurn regained consciousness
through the application of restoratives and
was taken to his home on East Weber ave-
nue.. He presented a pitlable sight. His
face was SCARED and bleeding and he
being conveyed home in hack. In spite
of all this he was resting easily this even
ing and hopes for his ultimate recovery
are entertained.

OIL FOR THE STANDARD.
The Big Corporation Forced to Buy From,
Local Producers.

Local Producers.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 28.-The
Standard Oil Company has at last made a
move in this field and succeeded in pur-
chasing large amount of oil. w. G. Mil
Ter, the Pacific Coast manager for the cor
poration, to-day made a purchase from
the Oil Exchange at very profitable tig-
ure for the producers, and it is a matter of
congratulation to the oil men here that
they are in such well-organized shape
that, Notwithstanding the enormous cap
ital and influence of the Standard Com
pany, no individual producer could be
induced to break over the lines, and the
company was forced to go to the Exchange
to get its fuel. The sale was consum-
mated at o'clock this afternoon.
One instance of the widespread interest
the Los Angeles oil fields are exciting is
shown by the following letter received
to-day by Secretary Willard of the Cham
Der of Commerce from Morgan Brothers
Company, founders machinists and boiler
makers of Seattle, Wash:
I'VE understand you have a large
amount of crude petroleum for which you
are hunting a market. We contemplate
using such for fuel in heating furnaces in
our shipyard, provided we can lay it down
here at a reasonable figure. Will you
kindly put us in correspondence with the
proper people in this line? We should like
some information as to the value of your
oil for fuel as compared with the best

FIFTH 4 CARGO OF TURTLE SOUP
Result of the Cruise of Schooner In
Southern Waters.

Result of the Cruise of a Schooner In
Southern Waters.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 2S.-Loaded up
to her deckbeams with cans full of green
turtle soup, pompano and guava jelly the
little two-masted 19-ton American schooner
Oracle T anchored in the upper bay yester-
day after a cruise of six months in West
Indian waters. A curious feature of this
very curious cargo is that it was all manu-
featured on board the schooner and there
fore is not supposed TO be subject to duty.
Therein lies the secret of the original ex-
petition planned months ago by Ben jamin
Wood of Pine street and his associates.
They expect TO undersell the importers.
When the Oracle T left New York on
April 10 last she was fitted up floating
cannery. A chef was taken along to over
look operations and the rest of the party
consisted of six expert Gamers and the
regular crew of the vessel, under Captain
WILDER. One hundred and fifty thousand
empty cans were put aboard, the vessel
was provisioned and her sails were spread
and she started on her queer GRAND. She
carried a small cargo of calico and cheap
goods to exchange for guavas or game
wherever a profitable trade could be ar
ranged, though Captain WILDER relied
chiefly on his crew for the cargo the Oracle
Z was to obtain.
After leaving port little was heard of the
Oracle I until she returned to New York
yesterday. She has been cruising along
the coast of Costa Rica, and her crew for
months have been engaged in capturing
huge green turtles and converting them
into soup and canning it. The meat also
was preserved. The chef looked after this,
and also superintendent the manufacture
of guava jellies. Captain WILDER was
greatly pleased yesterday over the success
of the undertaking. The cargo will prob
ably be landed to-day

JUST WHAT TO DO.
That Is the Question Asked by So Many
People at This Particular Time.


How many people we meet who plainly show
that they are not in the best of health and
who experience many unpleasant symptoms
which denote weak spot in the system. They
feel the need of something to restore their lost
strength and vitality, but yet are at a loss to
know what to do. They know they ought to
take some remedy, but which one to take is
question they cannot decide. To all such
people the following statements, based on per-
sonal. experience, cannot fail TO be OF the
greatest interest:
Mr.. E. B. Toale OF 432 De Kalb avenue,
Brooklyn, recently said: Il formerly suffered
a great deal from nervous debility, and tried
many tonics with little or no success, until I
began taking Duffys Pure Malt Whiskey.
have now used it for about two months and
my physician and friends are all Rstonished at
my improved appearance have gained both
in health and flesh and no longer look haggard
and wearied, as l did before"
Mr.. W. c. Wilcox of Utica, y. Y, says: 81
have been using Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
for some time for indigestion and shOrtness
OF breath. l am happy TO say that have been
greatly benefited. have also induced my
friends to try ii, with equally good results"
Such evidence as this speaks for itself. It
proves beyond question that for increasing
Whiskey is unsurpassed. 1t never fails TO act
as a general restorative in overcoming all
| symptoms of weakness. It's high reputation is
due 10 merit alone. Do not let your druggist
or grocer attempt to substitute something
! which he may claim is just as good" Be sure
| TO get what you ask for and accept no inferior
! imitation.

ELoPED AND WERE WEDDED.
A RunGsuay Couple From Jackson United
bu O Stockton Justice.


STOCKTON, CAL, Oct. 2S.-Miss Roxina
Trevaskies and John Rosovich, better
known as John Rose, eloped from Jackson,
Amador County, and were married here
by Justice Parker, at the residence of
Charles H. Townsell. When securing the
license Rosovich gave his age as u and
that of his prospective BRIDE as Is. Their
ages were in reality 20 and II. Their
names were given as John Rose and
RoXina Travehes.
The youthful groom is son of Stephen
Rosovich of Jackson Gate, and the bride a
daughter of John Trevaskies of the Ken
nedy mine. For several days an officer
from Amador County has been lowering
about Justice Parker's Court looking for
the runaways. When Parker was asked
to marry the youthful Amador couple he
thought they were the ones wanted, but
as the license was in order and showed the
contracting parties to be of age, he could
not do otherwise than unite them in mar
riage.
After the ceremony Rosovich admitted
that they had driven from Jackson in
order to keep out of sight.

CAPTAIN BECK VICToRIoUs.
Acts of His Indian Police Sustained b,
a Court Decision.


LINCOLN, NEBR., Oct. 28.-Judge shiras
in the United States District Court of
Nebraska, acting for Judge Dundv. handed
down his decision to-day in the case of the
indian police matter at the Winnebago
Indian Agency, near Pendar, this State.
The Indian police were employed by Act
ing Agent Beck in evicting thesettlers on
the Flournoy lands. They arrested Will
liam II. CARAT and John F. Myers. and
application was made for writ of babpas
corpus for the release of these men on the
ground of illegal arrest. Judge Shiras
held that these Indian policemen were not
strictly United States deputies, but as the
writs had been placed by the agent in
their hands for service he held that their
actions in arresting Myers and CARAT
were legal and hence the application for
the writ was denied. This is another clear
victory for Captain Beck.

Main Street VIII Not BE Paved by the
Unio" Company.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 2s.-The
Union Paving Company, through its presi-
dent, F. NJ. French, to-day notified the
City Council that it would not fulfill its
contract by paving Main street. The
reasons given by the company were that
the proceedings were faulty and incom-
plete and that the outcome of the
case which is now in the Supreme
Court is uncertain. Under this State of
affairs it contends that the assessment
made to pay for the work could be resisted.
The company asked that the proceedings
be abandoned. The Council thereupon
ordered all proceedings abandoned and
instructed the clerk to advertise for new
bids. This was the largest paving contract
ever awarded on the coast, involving an
expenditure of over $150,0O0.

The Story Of the Escapades Of a Runaway
Girl

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3O.-Miss An
Ma Rannalleys, ..alias Bertha Pashen, alias
Nettie Dowd. aged II years, escaped from
the Union Rescue Home Sunday night.
Miss Rannalleys is a wayward girl, who
has a fondness for assuming the names of
prominent and respectable people. Two
weeks ago she was arrested in a disreput-
able resort i'll this city and then gave the
name of Nettle Dowd saying that she
had been abducted from her home at
Monterey by one a nnle Jackson, alleging
hypnotic influence.
The publication of the girls story at
tracted widespread attention, and a few
days later it developed that she was an
imposter, as the real Nette Dowd was at
that moment living with her parents in
Monterey. When charged with the i'm
posture the girl reiterated her story and
insisted that she had not masqueraded
under false name. Then it was learned
that there was no Anna jackson, that hay
ing been a character of the girls fairy
story. From letters received by Secretary
McComb of the Society for the Prey ention
of Cruelty to Children, the identity of
the girl known as Bertha Pashen was re-
vealed. She was known by that name in
certain quarters and on Saturday it de-
veloped that her real name was Anna

was her name and that she had assumed
