SAN JOSE BAG THIEVES.
Two Boys Steal Two Thousand
Grain Bags and a
Team.
One of the Horses Died on the Road,
Resulting in the Arrest Of
the Thieves.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Nov. 1o.-Chief of
Police Kidward last night arrested George
Beechele and Harry Phillips on a charge
of robbing the Cooperative Warehouse at
Hollister on Friday night of over 1000
grain sacks.
Almost simultaneously with receiving
word of the Hollister burglary man
named French reported that he had rented
buggy to Beechele and Phillips on Thurs
day and they had failed to return it. Chief
Kidward at once concluded they were the
guilty parties and started down the Mon
terey road in search of the boys.
Near Madrone he came across Beechele
asleep in wagon filed with the bags and
from him it was learned that Phillips was
en- route to San Jose on horseback, the
other horse having died from the effects of
hard driving. They were to meet at the
Bridge House.
Kidward took his prisoner to the Bridge
House, and shortly after arriving there
Phillips put IN an appearance. As soon
as he saw the officer he started to run, but
was soon overtaken by Kidward. When
taken to the police office both boys adj
mitted their guilt They were taken to
Hollister this afternoon by Marshal

ROBBED BY MASKED MEN,
An Old Couple at Redding At.
tackled by Ruffanly
Burglars.
The Thieves Believed to Be Friends
of the Victims Runaway
Daughters.

REDDING, CAL, Nov. 10.-Last night
two masked men entered the house of j.
Balderback on Stay Heights, this city.
One of the robbers, tall muscular fellow,
grabbed and held Mrs. Balderback, while
his accomplice ransacked the house and
stole $3.50 from trunk in bedroom. Mrs.
Balderback is an old lady, nearly 70, and
the assault frightened her into high state
of excitement.
Whoever the robbers were, they were
evidently familiar with the house, its oc-
cupants and It's contents. One of the rob-
bers, entering the house, remarked to
Mrs. Balderback, "You have driven your
girls from home and we want your
money" This remark was strange, as
Mrs. Balderback had never, by any word
or action, made it known that her two
daughters were not wanted. They, on the
contrary. it is said. have left home on their
own account on several occasions.
The loss of the money is felt keenly by
the old folks, who had just made a loan
from building association of the amount
necessary to the completion of their house.
Two well-known characters in town, who
have been intimate with the Balderback
girls, are suspected of the robbery, but as
yet no arrests have been made.

Honorary Members of Division Two
Give the Men a Saltwater
Trip.

With the blue and white flag of the
Naval Battalion flying at the foretruck
and forty-six members of Gun Division 2
on her decks, the steamer Dora left the
harbor Saturday evening in search of adj
venture. For the time being she was the
flagship of the Naval Reserve of California,
for, though she belongs to the Alaska
Com mercial Company, yet from Saturday
night until last evening the blue jackets,
who were everywhere upon her, owned
her from stem to stern.
Five of the honorary members of
Division 2-Captain Gustav Niebaum,
Leon Sloss, Louis Sloss Jr. and William
Gerstle-are also members of the Alaska
Commercial Company, and it was upon
their suggestion that the company's trim
little steamer was turned over to the

boys obtain some idea of how the waves
roll in the ocean.
The steamer had made her last cruise for
the year and had been dismantled in pre-
paration for winter quarters, but under the
orders of her owners she was put in COM

SUFFERED DISTRESS OF MIND
Aroused Late at Night and Taken
to Jail on Criminal
Charge.

WALLA WALLA, WASH, Nov. TO-
Mrs. Mary c. Wood is suing United States
Marshal Drake in the United States court
here to recover damages of $4,000 for
false Imprisonment. November %, 1894,
Deputy Marshal F. J. Parker received in
structions from Marshal Drake to arrest
Mary c. Wood. whose maiden name was
Mary G. Mcconnell, wanted in Los An
geles, Cal, on the charge of forging a
Postoffice money order. Deputy Parker
complied with the instruction and the
woman was taken to jail.
The next day she was released on bonds
to answer writ of habeas corpus in ten
days, as the deputy had no warrant for
her arrest. A few days later the warrant
arrived and the woman was rearrested and
taken to Seattle to be identified. When
the woman was taken into the United
States court, those who had come from
Los Angeles to identify her stated she was
not the person and did not bear the least
resem blance to the woman wanted.
Mrs. Wood was then discharged from
custody. She Immediately returned to
Walla Walla and began action in the Su-
perior Court against Marshal Drake and
Deputy Parker. Subsequently the case
was removed to the United States court
for trial.
Mrs. Wood stated that she had been
aroused late at night by Deputy Parker,
induced to enter hack under the repre-
sentation that she was summoned to
court, but instead was taken to Valley
Grove, thence to Spokane and then to
Seattle. She told of her retention several

DROPPED OUT OF SIGHT.
James Haggerty Disappeared
MysteriouSly From His
Fresno Home.
An Insane Man in Southern Cali.
fornia Believed to Be the
Missing Man.

FRESNO, CAL, Nov. 10.-The authori-
ties are actively engaged III investigating
the disappearance of James Haggerty,
who has not been seen since October q.
Haggerty worked in sawmill on Pine
Ridge during the summer, and returned
to the home of his two sisters. who reside
in this city, a few days before he disap-
peared. On that Sunday afternoon he
took his sisters for a ride in the country,
returning about o'clock. After leaving
his sisters at their home he drove to the
livery stable.
He left the stable and here all trace of
him is lost. Haggerty's sisters expected
him home in few moments after he left
them, and waited with supper till late in
the night. They were at total loss to ex-
plain his non-appearance, but did not
notify the authorities for several DAYS in
the hope that he might return. Finally
they became alarmed and notified the
Sheriff's office.
One person in this city seems to have
been very DESTROYS of assisting the Sheriff.
After he had spent few days in working
up the case, as he himself claimed, he re-
ported that he had seen the missing man
near Sanger, in this county. The Sheriff's
office accepted this report until they
learned that the informant had told sew
eral other stories. Investigations were &C
cordlngly renewed.
Haggerty is q years of age and of exem-
plary habits. At the time of his disap-
pearance it is known that he had 500 and
a valuable gold watch. A strange story
came to light to-day. 1t is that Haggerty
was seen in dazed condition on the Sun
day evening he disappeared at the depot
and that he boarded a south bound train.
An insane man answering his descrip-
ton was found in Southern California
yesterday, and report is that this is Hag-
gerty. The case is a very strange one, as
no motive can be ascribed to Haggerty's
disappearing of his own will, nor can
motives for foul play, if it be such, be
imagined other than for purpose of rob-
bling him of what little he had. The man
who falsely informed the Sheriff's Office is
under surveillance, although his strange
actions can in no way be accounted for
The Misses Haggerty are in a very anxious
state of mind and are beginning to fear
the worst has happened to their brother.

Rum DOWN FOR MURDER.

Charged With chopping Mans
Head Off,

NEW WHATCOM, WASH, Nov. TO-
George W. Trueman has just been lodged
in Jail here charged with forgery in this
county and with murder just across the
line in British Columbia. Trueman is an
adept at confidence games and has been
operating for years on Puget Sound.
His plan is to dress well, presenting
fine appearance. Then he drops down in
a neighborhood where he is not known
and represents himself as man of wealth
to whom a draft is coming. He makes
contracts and begins business, borrows
what money he can and decamps
In Elaine, last March, he did this and
forged check on John Bowman, a mer-
chant. He went across the line and made
a contract to clear the land of rancher
who had just received a large amount of
back pension money. The rancher was
found later in the brush with his head
chopped off and Trueman and the money
were gone.
The Canadian officers are here to take
him to New Westminster to answer the
charge of murder and robbery. He has
relatives here who are reputable people.
He has divorced wife here, and has been
engaged to be married in dozen different
places.
