SAN BERNARDINO. Oct. s.-John
Stencil, the coorcd bootblack who led
Charles White into trap at Idlewild last
week. has been living on prison fare him
self since Saturday night. all of which
leads him to the conclusion that other
things. besides republics are ungrateful.
AS published at that time. Stencil was
then under bonds to keep the peace, the
complaint which resulted in that having
been sworn out by his wife, whom he was
in the habit of using for football. After
being in jail for that offenSe, NJ. f. Crop
ley and M. l.. Cook finally became sure
ties in the sum of 500 that Stencil would
thereafter be true and loving husband,
and that his right leg would forget its
cunning.
But they did not count on him becom-
ing either a professional hold-up or a
detective. and believing that he was
dangerously near the dead line the bonds
men surrendered Stencil, and he has
since been in durance vile. An effort
has been made to secure new bond smen,
bur as yet it has not been successful.
In speaking of ths matter the bonds
men give as their reason not only the
fact that Stencil was not conducting
himself as thoroughly peaceable citizen
should; but their dlsapproval of the
at Idlewild. A string of ''ifs" ars sug-
gested. prominent among them the fact
that White might never have attem pied
to rob John Laurence. ii revolver had
not been furnished him. Stencil may
think twice next time.

meeting OF Congregation Emanuel
was held Sunday evening at the home of
ports for the year showed the congrega-
ton to be in splendid condition, the
receipts being a little more than sutfi-
Gent to meet all expenses OF the year.
The congregation is anxious that some
arrangement may be made by which the
services of RABBI Danziger can be secured
regularly, and such an arrangement now
seems possible, since some members of
the Unitarian society have expressed
themselves as willing to contribute to the
payment of a suitable sum. since their
own society is unable to pay for the ser ;
vices of a minister. II such an arrange
ment can be effected, it is possible that
RABBI Danziger may be secured for this
city.
