9 convict escapes When sent for the owner accompanies them and directs the search. If a murder is reported in some adjacent parish, and they are of frequent occurrence in the rural dis triets of northwestern Louisiana, the officials send immediately and the dogs are taken to the scene by wagon or train. Perhaps it has happened in a farmhouse. Everyone is kept away from the building as much as possible until they arrive. Then they are al lowed to run all around it. If only two or three persons have entered the house after the murder the animals are very quick in finding a scent. With heads to the floor or ground they work along it, gradually getting further and further away, until they reach a point where only the supposed mur- derers have stepped deep, pro longed bay comes from their threats and the pursuers know they are on the trail Hour after hour the mounted men and dogs go over tho country, sometimes at a run in places where the scent is plain, sometimes at q snail's pace where the ctew is almost oblit-. erated. They wade through marshes, swirl across bayous, push through miles

in tracing criminals 1t is a case where the sense of smell is considered superior to the work of the brain, and the truly wonderful ability of dogs in locating criminals proves that the confidence of the people in them is well founded
 The southern bloodhound of to-day is very rarely of pure breed. Before the war his ancestors were imported principally from the border country between England and Scotland, where they have been used for two centuries to capture peachers on the estates of country gentlemen and in place of deer hounds In the '50s the finest blood hounds in the world were in the south At least a brace could be found on near ly every large plantation, and it is un- necessary to detail the part they played in capturing runaway slaves. At the present time it is doubtful if over fifty packs are in leash between the Potomac and Mississippi rivers, and, as already stated, very few of these are of perfect pedigree, some of them being part mastiff and others part greyhound. However, if they are half breeds that is sufficient to make them man hunters of the first rank. In Louisiana, Missis- sippi and South Carolina they are most numerous, although a few packs are employed in eastern Texas, and occa- sionally a dog is borrowed to chase criminal in Arkansas.
 It is very easy to pick out one of these animals, even if not full blood. Usually of a dark tan or fawn color he seldom stands higher than two feet

around his neck, but it's hard pulling him back when he's once got the scent. How does he know when to stop? Be- cause the boy takes off the brogans where l tell him and leaves them there You ought to see the dog take them up in his teeth. He knows where the blood came from then that he scented on the grass.
 This is the beginning. After a few trials the dog follows the negro simply by the odor of his feet-at least this is the supposition of the trainers. Then a course is laid out which is more diff cult. Several streams of water are crossed and start is taken during a hot day four or five hours after the supposed fugitive has gone over the ground. From one mile the course is heightened to five or more. Sometimes the dog may take a half day to com plete it, as when he reaches a water way he has to run up and, down each bank until he finds where the negro entered the water and emerged. But his wonderful nose constantly moving over the ground proves usually an un- elItLS ultc dL1el Se1AoIn IS He tilf0WH off as the saying goes more than half an hour \ few months of this cours- ing and the bloodhound is ready to act as detective-one which cannot be bribed and faithful unto death

BITUMBN FOR BRIDGES.

1t VIII Be Tried on the Structure Over
the American River.
The county bridge spanning the Ameri-
can River on the road leading northward
from Twelfth street will soon need re-
planking, and as this is an expensive job
and has TO be frequently repeated, owing
20 the heavy traffic over that structure,
the Supervisors have decided to adopt the
plan of bitumenizing the bed of the
bridge.
Bitumenous rock has been tried on
bridges in Alameda County and is giving
good satisfaction, that on one bridge hav-
ing been in use for seven years.
On Saturday brennan offered a resolu-
ton, which was seconded by Jenkins,
authorizing Chairman Morrison to enter
into contract with w. c. Read. Superin-
tendent Of the Pacific Paving Com
pany for the covering of the bridge
not 10 exceed 10 cents square sur
face foot. 1t must be laid two and a
Quarter inches thick In the center and
slope off on the side to one and three
quarter inches, in order TO give good
drainage.
Mr.. Read stated to the board that he
could do first-class job, and one that
would last for years, for 10 cents square
foot, making the work cost about 81, $40.
The price at which he offered to do the
work was less than they were charging i'll
the city for street work, but they wished
to make an advertisement and hoped to
get contracts for covering oth9r bridges.
The contract was signed IN the after
noon, and the work will be commenced
Immediately, one side of the bridge, being
done at time, in order not to Interrupt

MECHANICS VS.. MECHANICAL
Weinstock, Lubln IL Co.'s Judgment
Against Marks Sustained.

Weinstock, Lubln IL Co.'s Judgment
Against Marks Sustained.
The Supreme Court, sitting In San
Francisco. has filed its decision in the
case of Weinstock, Lubin q Co. OF this
city against II. Marks, who it was al
legged had infringed on their right to the
term "Mechanics' Store" by designating
his as the IN echanical Store"
The court af1irms the judgment of the
Superior Court of this county so far as
upholding the injunction against the
use of the words mechanical Store'' as
the name for the rival place of business.
1t had been further ordered by the SUI
periOr Court, however, that the defendant
place signs both outside and inside his
store indicating the identity of the pro-
prietor. This point the Supreme Court
says is new In the law of both this
the defendant cannot be compelled to
make known the proprietorship of the
business.
Justice Garoutte says: "In this par
ticular we think the decree should be
modified so as to require that the de-
PENDANT in the conduct of this business
shall distinguish his place of business
from that in which the plaintiff is carry
ing on its business in some mode or form
that shall be sufficient Indication to the
public that 1t is different place of bust
ness from tina. OF the plaintiff"
Weinstock, Lubin IL Co. are declared
to have trademark right under the gem
eral law To the name mechanics Store"
and Imitation of it for the purpose of at
tracing trade away from the firm is de-
clared TO be al infringement.

helm was called IN the Police Court on
Saturday, charged with receiving stolen
property. There are five charges against
Verhein, proprietor of the Gold Dust den.
The cases were continued till Wednes-
day next.
In the case of Fred Ingham, who is
similarly charged, Miss Genevieve Green,
who, several weeks ago. was robbed OF
some articles of jewelry. one of which
was returned 10 her on Friday by Mrs.
lngham, was called to tell from whom
she received the pin. Miss Green had
promised the woman who brought it to
her not 10 tell, and when in court she en-
deavoredSto keep her promise. Justice
Davis told her that it was felony case
ana that she must tell from whom she
received the pin.
Accordingly Miss Green informed the
court that Il woman who said she was
Mrs. Ingham returned the pin TO her.
She told the witness she bought it from a
boy, and q colored girl had informed her
that 1t belonged to the witness.

CISCO This Mrs. Ingham," as she calls
herself, is not the legal wife Of lngham,
they having been separated for some
years.
The police were informed about 10
o'clock on Saturday night that the Gold
Dust den was open, and Sergeant
Plunkett went there to see why the order
to close the place had been ignored. He
was informed by the man in charge that
he had opened up in order TO give the
place cleaning.
Sergeant Plunkett cleared the place,
however, and had it locked. He found
the 1ngham woman IN one OF the rear
rooms, and she explained that she had
gone there to get a drink of liquor to
steady her nerves.
Mrs. Verheln visited the Jail Saturday
night and had an interview with her hus-
band in Chief Drew's office. They were
