RIVERSIDE, Oct. s.-Miss Tresslar,
the Is year.olL daughter of S. P. Tress-
lar, had an exceedingly unpleasant en-
counter with dastardly wretch while re-
turning from church Sunday evening.
She had reached the corner of Tenth and
Wallace streets and the villain was lying
in wait for her.
AS soon as Miss Tresslar came near the
man the latter grabbed her and at the
same time attempted to place wad OF
cloth he carried in one of his hands over
her mouth. Miss Tresslar struggled with
the brute ana finally succeeded in get
ting out of his clutches, whereupon she
ran home screaming for help. 1t is need
less to say tho chap made himself scarce
as soon as Miss Tresslar got away from
him. Miss Tresslar cannot give very
good description of her assailant, but
says he was large man and young one
also.
THE CUMMINGS AT SAN QUENTIN.
Sheriff Johnson returned from San
Quentin late Saturday evening, after
having landed John and Caesar Cum
mings in the state penItentIary. Captain
johnson stated that the boys maintained
cially was this the case with Caesar.
The boys were verv much disaproin ted
when Sheriff Johnson took them to Los
Angeles via Orange. They made no Sc
cret of their cnagrin over not being taken
on the Southern Pacific road, which
home of the prisoners. Captain johnson
says that the bows told him in Los An
geles that 100 OF their friends had gath
cred at Ell Monte to see them when they
passed through. Asked what was the
purpose of this large gathering, Caesar
found out if the opportunity had been
given.
1t is needless to add that this story
was no credited by Sheriff Johnson. On
the way north the boys talked freely of
their approaching doom, and both stated
that it was their purpose to sell tneir
bodies to the highest bidder. John par
ticularly insisted that the man who paid
tho most money would get his BODY
When CAPTAIN johnson parted with the
prisoners they both shook hands with
him and thanked him for kindesses re-
ceived at his hands. At the final parting
John told the sheriff that he expected TO
come back to Riverside. belief no doubt
founded upon the probability that the
supreme court Will reach the appeal in
their case prior to the day OF execution.
While at San Quentin Sheriff Johnson
met and talked with Charles Marshall,
the condemned murderer of Frank Ham
ilton, and Albert Larsen. Captain Jonh-
son saws that Marshall looks well. Mar
snall's arm is we'll, although not as good
as ii was before Hamilton put bullet
through it. Marshall is looking forward
to tn day when he will be back here for
q new trial, as he says. Marshall referred
to his claim for fourth interest in the
McHenry mine, while talking with the
sheriff. and talked as though he be-
lieved he had good case.
Marshall is evidently of a sanguine turn
of mind, If in earnest In his talk about
new trial and a quarter interest IN she
in either case believes for moment that
he will ever get new trial. or that he
will establish his claim to share in the
mine mentioned.
The high court of Independent Forest
ers OF the state met in annual convention
here today. The convention was called
to order at p. M, with fully 200 dele
gates present, representing all the courts
of the order in the state. The only work
done by the convention was 10 organize
and appoint committees, after which
sixty candidates we've given the high court
degree. Taonieht the delegates were
given grand reception at Odd Fellows
hall. where they were welcomed by the
local court and leading citizens.
Judge Noyes of this county handed
down a decision today which is of vital
interest to all engaged in fruit growing.
Some time ago L. Il. Baboock, an orange
grower brought suit against the county
to collect $4,000 damages claimed by him
to have been done to his grove in pro-
cess Of gas fumigation. The court rem
uered a lengthy decision, in which the
county is sustained and Babcock is not
awaI ded damages. Tho decision has been
awaited with interest here, as upon it
largely depended the action of the au
thorities and fruit growers in the import
ant matter of fumigatlon for the destruc-
ton of scale pests.
