THE NAUGHTY LITTLE GIRL


She is homely. She is tricky;
And, am greatly grieved to tell,
Her hands are always sticky
With chocolate caramel.
Her dolly's battered features
Speak OF many frantic hull.
She's the terror of her teachers
That naughty little girl.
She can whoop like Comanche,
You can hear her round the square;
Further-like an Indian she
Often creeps and pulls my hair,
And she steals into my study;
And she turns my books a-whirl;
And her boots are always muddy
That naughty little girl.
She dotes upon bananas;
Aud she smear5 them on M knees.
She peppers my haYanas;
And delights to hea- me sn.eze.
Yet-why can't discover
Spite of every tangled curl,
She's darling, and love her,
That naughty little girl!

Telling Trees by Electricity.

Trees are now felled to o consider
able extent by electricity. A platinum
wire heated white hot by the current
is used, stretched between two poles,
as saw. There is less work than with
q saw, no saw dust is produced, and
the charring of the surface of division
tends to prevent decay. In some cases
the time required to fell tree by this
method is only one-eighth of that
necessary for saving.

UKIAH, CAL, June 16.-Sheriff John
son and Policeman Burke returned la tie
last night from an unsuccessful pursuit of
the highwaymen who held up the Mendo-
cIno stage yesterday afternoon.
They trailed one of the outlaws by the
aid of a bloodhound. The animal sue
ceeded in retrieving a pair of overalls
which had been worn by one of the rob
bers and which had been hidden in a
hollow tree. The treasure box was also
found. 1t had been broken into and the
contents scattered and valuable packages
taken. The amount of money secured will
approximate $500.
According to the story OF young lady
passenger, there were two robbers. One
stepped into the road while the other re-
mained concealed in the underground at
the roadside. When the driver hesitated
to halt at the first command the lady was
looking out of the stage. The concealed
robber Immediately Ieveled a gun on the
driver, and had he not stopped bloodshed
would doubtless have resulted.
Johnson and Burke are now on the trail
OF the road agents, and as the country is
comparatively open and travelling good q
quick capture is expected.

Brutally Beaten by Roughs While

SACRAMENTO, CAL, June 16.-Frank
J. Wright, the private detective who ran
to earth and delivered to the police au-
thorities of San Francisco "Shy Red"
wanted on suspicion Of being implicated in
the Webber murder which occurred in
Sacramento several months ago, had a
narrow escape from death tonight at the
hands of party of "Shy Reds friends in
a saloon in the tenderloin district of this
city
Ever since "Shy Reds" apprehension
Wright has been engaged in collecting evil
dence in the case, and for several DAYS past
has been frequenting the saloons OF L
street in search of a certain party needed
as witness. This evening while seated
in "Googy" Welch's saloon he claims that
colored rough known as Ed Emerson,
alias Smoky" and man named Daven-
port approached him and asked what his
business was. The negro accused him of
being stool pigeon and detective in dis
gulse and struck him. Davenport struck
him at the same time.
Wright sprang from his chair and started
toward the back room of the saloon, hop
ing to escape by back entrance. The
Davenport struck at him. Grasping a
wrung of the chair, Wright drew his pistol
and warned them to keep away.
At this iuncture the rest of the crowd
sprang at him, took the pistol from him
and brutally beat and kicked him. Event
ually Wright managed to effect his escape,
and notified the police authorities.
Chief of Police Drew accompanied him
IN person to the saloon and investigated
the affair, and the police are in search OF
all participants. Officers Hayes and
Fisher captured Smoky" and locked him
in the City Prison. Officer Rutherford is
hot on the trail of Davenport and will
probably capture his man within short
time. This assault upon Wright by known
friends of ''Shy Red" is deemed by the DO
lice evidence that the suspect knows more
of the case than he is willing to admit, and
that the gang fears that Detective Wright
possesses damaging evidence against him
and wish to either make away with him OF
frighten him into abandoning the case.

MARE ISLAND VISITORS,
Second Regiment Officers
Take a Trip to the Naval
Station.
Men Busily at Work in the
Yard.

VALLEJO, CAL, June 16.-During the
last week a large number of officers and
members of the Second Regiment Infan-
try who have been in quarters in the out
skirts of town visited the navy-yard. They
found a large amount of work under way
and nearly 1000 men employed, with the
outlook for an early increase.
The work of enlarging the entrance to
the stone drydock will be commenced and
completed in four months. When finished
the largest battleship afoat can be taken
into the dock with perfect safety.
Owing to the fact that new floor is
being laid in the boatshop many of the
1nen have been laid off for few days to
allow the work to be prosecuted without
impediment. Over $4,000 will be expended
in replacing the old floor.
The boilers and engines of the monitor
Monadnock will be tried within the next
few weeks.
Naval Constructor Snow, who has been
very sick for weeks past, reported for duty
the past week.
Work on framing UP the new yard tug is
progressing rapidly. The engines are also
we'll under way, and in three months it
will be ready for the trial trip.
The Hartford is still in the drydock un-
dergoing repairs.
Medical Inspector G. W. Woods, in
charge OF the naval hospital, will in the
near future be advanced to the grade of a
medical director in the navy.
Lieutenant G. w. Stoney has left for
Honolulu to join the Philadelphia. So far
no aid to the commandant at the yard has
been selected.
nt-Commander c. F. Hutchins
has been detached from command of the
Thetis and his place supplied by the ap-
pointment of Lieutenant- Commander
Knox to the vacancy.
Friends of Surgeon and Mrs. D. o.
Lewis, we'll known at Mare Island, regret
the news of the death of their daughter,
Florence Woods Lewis, aged years and 8
months, which occurred at Tacoma on
June 15.
