with her skirts, which soon became satur-

ran to the front room and returned with a
blanket; but she could stand the pain no
longer, and dropping the blanket she ran
back to the bedroom, where she threw her.

rRIzE BICYCLE LE4GUE.

Spautding and Bosvie WiU Not Antagon-
ise the l.. a. W.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. "a special
from Boston to the Herald says: 1t is
automatically stated that A. G.. Spaulding
and B. G. Bowie are to organize a cash
prize league for bicycle racing. The pro-
posed league will not, however, in any
way antagonize the League OF American
Wheelmen and it's interests. Its field OF
action will be distinctively that of profess
sional racing.
This, it is believed, is but one of the e
suits of the great suspension case now be-
fore the cycling public. The Cycle Board
OF Trade, or rather many of its members,
has been anxious to secure control OF rae
ing in this country. and this comes from
what is believed to be a most reliable
source. Just what position the league as
body will take in this matter is not
known, but if, as stated, the new league
will not interfere with the l.. A. W. racing
rules, then there can be no objection raised
by the parent body. Should desire be
exhibited to encroach on the territory Of
the l.. A. W., then long and bitter war;
fare will ensue, as both sides would fight
to the bitter end.

The Southern Pacific to Poroue't,e Santa
Fe Tracks,

RIVERSIDE, CAL, Dec. 9.-The long
looked-for Southern Pacific branch road,
which will run from Cotton through this
city via South Riverside to Pomona, seems
in fair way to soon become reality, for
the company to-day began the work of
laying out depot grounds and track grades
in this city. The road will run through
the city almost parallel with the Santa Fe
and in close proximity to the dozen or
more orange packing-houses located in the
eastern portion. The company has not
vet secured a franchise to cross the streets,
but this will be granted by the City Trus
tees at their next meeting. The work OF
grading will begin tomorrow on such por-
tions of the line as are located on lands be-
longing to the company.
The advent of the new road Is welcomed
by the orange-growers, who believe that
they will profit by the competition.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. "a. c. Frick.
the stage-robber. sentenced to five years in
the penitentiary few days ago in the Dis
trict Court, is growing laxative. On his
way to the penitentiary he told a deputy
United States Marshal a story which, had
it been reported to the court prior to the
passing of sentence, would have sent Frick
up for life.
81 used real weapon" said Frick, "but
/ also had a bogus gun MADE out of bark.
had the real gun in my hand when told
The driver to stop, end was ready to use it
if necessary. When Deputy Sheriff Cor
don got out of the stage with his gun, [
realized the situation in which [ was placed.
He was armed and l knew he meant
business. / might have fired and killed
him or he might have shot and killed me.
Ii killed him | knew that / would be
murderer and if he killed me he would be
hero; so under the circumstances con-
cluded the best thing was to 'scoot, and l
took to my heels and made Tor that tule
patch. Well, you know how matters
turned out with me.
"When l started to run / dropped my
real gun at the barricade behind which [
stood as the Stage drove up, and the bogus
weapon was left in the tules. Whatever
became OF the real gun l do not know.
There was n report that it was picked up
by some one, but that was not confirmed.
1.-The truth is had two confederates in
the hold-up. The two men live in the
vicinity of Klamath Lake and have fami-
lies. While l was lying In the County
Jail these two men visited me and we had
a conversation about holding up the stage.
| They understood that the stage which
would pass along Sunday morning would
have about $40, 900 aboard and it was de-
cided between US that we would hold up
the stage and make big haul, which was
to be DIVIDED among the three. l was
furnished the tools by these men by
which cut my way out of the Jail and
made my escape. When the stage was
held up my two confederates were in the
brush on the opposite side of the road ),
and they like myself had real weapons.
Justa soon as Deputy Gordon made his
appearance on the scene with gun the
two men 'funked' and did not show up ut
all, as it was understood they should. The
truth is, none of us expected to see Gordon
just then. and his appearance knocked our
plans out. My confederates did not come
to the rescue, as l expected, and left me
single-handed, and | deemed it prudent
under the circumstances to retreat"
