Armed Two Youths for a Hold-Up
and Then Captured Them
in the Act.
HIS PRISONER ACQUITTED.
The Jury Instructed by the Court to
Return a Verdict of Not
Guilty.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Nov. o.
Charles White, an 1S-year-old boy who
has been on trial in the Superior Court
for assault to commit robbery, was acquit-
ted to-day.
The case merits notice from its pc
culiarity. White became acquainted with
John Stencil, colored bootblack of this
city, and the two proposed to conduct a
hold-up. White said it could not be done.
as they were without weapons, and Stencil
kindly volunteered TO procure a revolver.
which he did through the assistance of
John King, a special officer of the South
ern California Railway. King decided
that discretion was the better part of
valor, SO he loaded an old-time pistol with
sand instead of powder and loaned it to
Stencil, who gave it to White.
That night White and Stencil held UP a
country store at Idlewild, three miles from
this city. Stencil remained outside, while
White went in and ordered the store
keeper to throw up his hands.
Instantly Officer King and the constable
arose from behind the counters and COW
cred the youth with shotguns which were
not loaded with sand. Their bravery won
and the boy surrendered. The officers,
after placing heavy manacles upon him
for security, succeeded in bringing him
to this city, where he was lodged in the
County Jail.
The trial developed the fact that King
had been told of the entire plan when the
revolver was borrowed, and consequently,
although an officer OF the law, had fur
nished White the means to commit the
crime for the purpose of capturing him in
the act. Judge Campbell, in charging the
jury, instructed it to acquit the prisoner,
which was done with but little ceremony.
The methods OF the officer received a
singing rebuke.

Silver Men Will Retaliate if
Ignored in the Coming
Congress.
MAY VOTE WITH DEMOCRATS
The Attempt TO 0Stracise a Minority
of the Party Bitterly
Rebuked.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, Nov. 9.-The state
ment appearing III the press dispatches
that Eastern Republicans, prominent
among whom is John Sherman, have de-
clared that the United States Senate would
not be reorganized in 1896, whether or not
Utah's Senators take their seats this win
ter, in order to avoid a possible compro-
mise with the silver men, aroused the ire
OF Western Republicans. Colonel Isaac
Trumbo. the Western silver champion,
and who Will likely be one of the new Sem
ators from Utah, said to a United Press
reporter that the declarations served to
forewarn and forearm the adherents of the
silver cause, and while Sherman and his
co-workers might prevent a reorganization
this winter there would come season Of
retribution in 1897 when silver advocates
might unite with the Democrats and re-
tain Democrats rs chairmen of the differ
ent committees.
1T is impolitic and unjust" he said,
for any section OF the party to bulldoze an
apparent minority and Haunt their prowess
III the faces OF the champions of the cause
of protection because they differ on the
money question. The silver question bears
the same relation to the East that the
tariff does TO the West. The West never
really needed protection, for we are not
manufacturers; but for the benefit OF the
whole country the W estern voter has pre-
scented an unbroken front for thirty years
in behalf of Repubhcanism. The East is
not directly interested in silver, but for the
advancement of the entire country her
people should be even tirmer advocates
than the West.
THAT is the view taken by US silver men,
and when We are to be ostracised from the
party because of our beliefs and convictions
the degree of ungratefulness exhibited is
equaled only by Sherman's heartless
criticism OF our martyred President, James
A. Garfield. Let the Republicans OF the
East beware. We will submit to a fair
presentation OF our case before the voters
of the United States and be reeonciled to
their decision, but our influence can never
be stified by political legerdemain nor gold
bug intrigue. Many more such declara-
lions will leave Western Republicans with
out hope and drive them from the party.
II would also point to the fact that such
result would likely throw the election
next year into Congress, and If such should
occur it would be impossible 10 elect q Re-
publican President on gold platform,

WATER FOR SANTA BARBARA.
Fotcing Stream Secured by Tunneting
Into the Mountain.


Into the Mountain.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Nov. g.
There is every prospect that the problem
Of securing water supply for Santa Bar
bara will soon be solved. James Barker a
practical engineer and the owner of large
quantities of unirrigated real estate in the
suburbs, went to work some time ago TO
find water in Cold Greek Canyon, leading
into the heart OF the Santa Ynez range,
back OF Montecito. Barker is driving
tunnel which is now some 600 feet into
the heart of the mountains, and he has
found what he did not expect to find so
soon-a flowing stream, or aggregation of
streams, amounting to some six miners
IN the pipes of the water company during
the dry season.
Another unexpected discovery has been
| made on w. H. Crockers lemon ranch in
Montecito a series of shallow wells hav-
| ing developed what appears to be an i'm
portant underground stream, flowing
| straight down from the mountains and
carrying some eighteen inches of water in
the dry season. From this stream ESQ., 900
| gallons are being raised daily for irriga-
ton purposes alone. Should this prove,
! as now appears probable, a genuine and
| lnexhaustible flow and not the tapping of
an underground reservoir it is situated at
such an altitude above Santa Barbara and
SO near the surface of the ground that it
would be quite feasible to siphon the sur
plus supply down TO the city.
| The City Council couple of months ago
| appointed special committee to take
| steps toward providing an increased water
| supply and experimental wells are being
sunk west of town, but so far without en-
! eouraging results. If none of the under
taklngs now under way realize the expec-
tations Of the promoters the Council pro-
poses to tunnel into the mountains after
the water that must exist in vast quanti-
ties somewhere in that monstrous res
ervoir.

MILL VALLEY ADVENTURE
A Traveller Attacked by a Fierce
Mountain Lion Near the
Town.
Escaped From the Beast Through the
Fleetness of His Frightened
Horse.

MILL VALLEY, CAL, Nov. "a.
Silver, local dealer in fruits and vege-
tables, had an experience with huge
mountain lion on the Blithedale road last
night that he is not likely to forget. The
beast, evidently made desperate by hunger,
sprang at Siiver's horse but the frightened
equine made runaway race of it and
brought its driver safely to this city.
For some time past chicken-ovners in
the vicinity of Corte MADEIRA and Blithe-
dale have been complaining of midnight
depredations upon their roosts, but have
been unable to catch the thief. They had
no idea that the prowler was other than a
biped, until Silver came to town late last
night, and, breathless with excitement
related his narrow esca pc from death. He
had been driving along the road about
dusk, when the lion sprang from the thick
brush lining the road and made hinge
toward his horse. Silver had no means OF
defense, but his frightened horse needed
no command TO start. 1t fairly few over
the dangerous road toward Mill Valley.
where Silver arrived in an excited state,
his horse covered with foam from the ter
rible race.
Silver describes the animal as about the
size of large Newfoundland dog and
weighing several hundred pounds. From
the slight glimpse he obtained of it, it ap-
peared to be of a brownish color Silver
was just about to drive over the concrete
bridge into Mill Valley when the animal
appeared. His story has caused consider
able excitement here and an effort will be
made to shoot the beast, as the incident
has caused feeling of timidity on the part
OF the women living in this part OF the
county.
