H|LLSBORO' s BOLD BANDIT
Frank Stewart Convicted of
Robbing a Wells.Fargo
Office.
The Companion He Attempted to Betray
Gives Convincing Testimony
Against Him.

HILLSBORO, Or, Dec. Tt required
about four minutes deliberatlon for the
jury in the case of the State against Frank
Stewart to find a verdict of guilty in the
Circuit Court yesterday. Stewart was
jointly indicted with Harry C. Corbin for
the robbery of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Ex-
press Office last August. Corbin pleaded
guilty and was of ma terial aid to the State
in convicting Stewart.
According to Cor5in's story. which is
given gene raj credit, Stewart planned the
robbery. Corbin being boy, did the
work, and then Stewart, under the pretext
that he was the older and 'ssmoothest,"
got the bigger part of the money.
When it appeared to him that Corbin's
usefulness was at an end and be learned
there was reward outstanding by the ex-
press company for the apprehension of
the men who robbed the express office,
Stewart went to McMinnville, where he
told Charles Talmadge, the agent of the
company, that he could give information
that would lead to the capture of the rob-
Der of the Hillsboro office Talmadge tele-
phoned to Sheriff Ford here. Ford met
Stewart at the train and they went in
search of the culprit, but when Stewart
found there was no reward out he tried to
drop the search, but was not allowed to do
so. Corbin was found, according to Stew
arts directions, and when he was brought
into Justice Knights court promptly made
a full confession, which he reiterated yes
terday on the witness-stand.
Corbin will doubtless get light sem
tence. Judge M cBride will pass upon
Stewards case.

GIVEN BUT A DAYS NOTICE.
Many Families Deprived of the Daily
Earnings That Supplied Them
With Food.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Dec. THE dis
charge to-day of 500 men from the shops
of the Southern Pacific Railroad system in
this city has caused the greatest excite
ment, and is being very unfavorably COM
mented upon by all classes. With but
a days warning these men, the majority
of whom have families depending upon
their daily wages for their sustenance,
have been thrown out of employment at
season of the year when they will find it
impossible to obtain other situations,
and in consequence there will be many
homes in which the Christmas cheer will
be sadly wanting. In many cases the dis
charged employees have purchased little
homes and have been paying for them on
the installment plan, and now that their
daily avocation has been suspended they
will be unable to meet their monthly obli-
cations and will be compelled to forfeit
their former payments.
This wholesale discharge of employees
has created spirit of foreboding in home
and business circles alike, and the ques-
ton is being asked in all quarters: How
are all these families to be provided dur
ing the winter? Nobody was informed of
the duration of the lay-off. The reason
given for the action of the company, aside
from the fact that every winter brings
lessenins of work for the shops, is that the
railroad did not get as much business dur
ing the summer as it expected.
There was heavy falling off both in
grain and fruit shipments from the annual
average. The deficit in summer business
made unnecessary the building of new
rolling-stock, and there was. of course, less
demand for repairs on the old, but it is
also claimed that the reduction in force is
but an intimation to the general public of
what may be expected should the freight
rate reduction of the Railroad Commits
sioners be sustained.

CALABASAS' MYSTERY.
The Father of Bertrand Fave, tho Supposed
Suicide, Alleges That His Son Was
MUrdered

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Dec. 7.-Coroner
Campbell was summoned to Calabasas
Thursday afternoon to hold an inquest
over the body of young Frenchman
named Bertrand Fave, who had died the
day before from strychnine poisoning.
The only witness of Importance was the
wife of l.. Gagave.
Mrs. Gagave stated that Fave after din
ner went up into small canyon for a
walk. She also went out for short time,
and upon returning found Fave lying upon
her bed in commissions. He got up, and
taking blanket went outside of the house
and lay down upon the ground, dying in a
few minutes. Upon this showing YER
dict OF death by suicide was rendered.
Now the father of the deceased puts in
an appearance at the Sheriff's office and
imparts the startling information that his
son did not commit suicide, but was MUIR
dered. The story is to the effect that
Fave was on too intimate terms with Mrs.
Gagrave and that some person induced
him to drink wine in which strychnine
had been pla ced.
Sheriff Burr has detailed one OF his depu-
ties to give the matter a thorough in
vestigation.

OLD WORLD POLITICS
ICON tinued from First Pdee.l

to recognition as big English, or rather
London, novelist by work of a somber,
even tragic quality, which began without
trace of humor and even in latest years
displayed only an occasional grim, ioyless
mirth. His new tale, ga Paying Guest"
a short story to appear next week, is said
to be really funny, which piques curiosity.
The fact that G. B. Watts has given
seventeen portraits of celebrated contem-
porar1es to the nation was announced this
week with great flourish of trumpets and
treated as u notable piece of news until it
was recalled that the gift was formally
made and publicly discussed nearly ten
years ago. All that is new is that when
the new National Portrait Gallery, off
Trafalgar square, is ready to be opened at
Easter these pictures, along with others
which Watts has been keeping at home,
will be removed to these permanent quar-
tiers.
John Hare. who sailed on the Campania
to-day, is r personality of great distinction
in the borderland where the London stage
meets London society and fashion and en-
Joys an almost unique popularity among.
the friends who intermingle across these
frontiers, but whether, without these &C.
cessories, he is striking enough an actor to
rivet the interest of strange audiences is
matter of some uncertainty. He is at his
best in the quiet and very delicate part
written for him in "a Pair of Spectacles."
Pinero fitted him with more exactlng
and snowy role in 1.-The Notorious Mrs.
Ebbsmith," but have premonition that
Americans will not like the play itself.
w. D. Howells' little farce, originally
printed as 1.-The Garroters'' but here
called ga Dangerous Rufian," is being
nightly played as a curtain-raiser at the
Avenue. but the authors name is not IN
the press advertisements and it is mis-
spelled on the program me and no one has
given to it much attention. George Ber-
nard Shaw to-day says it shows that with
three weeks practice the American nov
elist could write the head off the poor
bunglers to whom the London managers
generally appeal for dramatic work.

BRILLIANT END RUNNING.
Twenty.Six to Cipher Hung Up
When the Smoke of Battle
Clears Away.

TACOMA, WASH, Dec. THE Port
Townsend football aggregation fell upon
the Tacoma Athletic Club football team
this afternoon with a dull thud, to the
music of &c to 0, and but for Injuries re-
ceived by Waycott of Port Townsend the
score would have been 40 to 0. Only 800
spectators were present to see the defeat,
which ends football here until next season.
Port Townsend won the toss up and
chose goal. Tacoma kicks off and Town
send secures and advances the ball ten
yards and by q system of tackle, rushes
and bucks through the line the bali is car
ried for a touchdown in six minutes.
Townsend fails to kick goal, and the score
is 4 to 0.
Again Tacoma kicks off, but the Town
send boys begin to play and carry the ball
through the line for a touchdown in four
minutes. Again goal is missed, and the
score is to O.
Tacoma kicks off for the third time.
Walthers of the Townsends secures and
advances the ball twenty yards, Wycoff
thirty yards and E. Wycoff twenty yards,
each going around the end. Bracken
makes ten yards and Tacoma secures the
ball on tumble. Townsend holds Tacoma
back for four runs, and secures the ball on
the Tacoma 40-yard line, and in the des-
perate rushes carries it over. Goal is
kicked and the score stands Is to at the
end of the first half.
In the second half, Townsend kicks o #.

yards Hacker is forced to kick on three
downs. Townsend blocks the kick. Thomp-
son falls upon the ball for touchdown.

Tacoma kicks off. Townsend secures
the bali; tumble, and Tacoma secures it on
the 25-yard line when time is called.
Wycoff had his knee injured, and failed
several times to kick goal. The Port
Townsend team includes very gentle
manly set of PLAYERS, and they are by long
odds the champions of the Northwest.
They claim to have been practically robbed
of the game played in Seattle recently,
and intend carrying the case to the courts
to prevent Seattle playing Portland for the
championship.
The umpire to-day, DR.. ]. O. Cobb of
Port Townsend; the referee, H. r. Nun
day of Tacoma; linemen, FL. Carmen of
Tacoma and A. G. Philip Of Port Town
send.
The game was free from all attempts at
slogging. Port Townsend's interference
and line bucking, Bracken's tackles and
Hackers tacklinp were features of the
game.

1--WE are very much pleased with the in
terest taken in good roads in this county.
We have seen in no other part of the State
such good work-such scientific roadwork
as in this county, particularly between
this city and jacksonville. So far as we
have gone, Santa Clara County has the
greatest number of miles of good roads.
The little county of Glenn is building
probably the most lasting roads, for it has
bought the finest of road machinery"
J. L. Maude of Riverside followed Mr..
Irvine. He talked interestingly of roads

followed by general discussion of the

table Rector Ahlwardt's formal demand
for leave of absence from the Reichstag

President Cleveland's reference to Samoa
in his recent message to Congress, which
is taken to indicate desire on the part OF
America to withdraw from the triple ar

First Point in the Suit
Against Him.
Judge Dougherty Rules That Proper
Counting of County Funds Was
Not Interfered With.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Dec. Judge
Dougherty rendered decision to-day in
the case of the District Attorney VS.. the

rer to the answer. In this case the Dis
trict Attorney invoked writ of mandate

to have in his possession all county funds

District Attorney, Auditor and chairman
of the Board of Supervisors. made their
monthly count of the public money.

E. f. Woodward. 1t was held that the
board had completed it's duties when it
had determined the amount of money that
should be in the treasury. the amount
actually contained therein, and reported
it's findings. The Treasurer was shown to
be within the law in the premises.
The court held that the report of the
officers of their proceeding at the time
com planned of showed that the County
Treasurer did not hinder or prevent them
from performing the duty of counting the
money in the county treasury. That If
the purpose of the law was to show its
true condition. the true condition was
shown by the report. The District Attor-
ney will carry the case to the Supreme
Court.

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, Dec. 7. =
deacon Ellis, manager of the Grand
Rapids baseball team, says that Grand
Rapids will be admitted into the Western
League and be given five years franchise.
Omaha will not be considered for the place
more than to fulfill an agreement made by
the magnates with John T. Brush, who
opposed Tom Lotus, and held the balance
of power at the Chicago meeting. Lotus
was to be admitted and Ellis turned down
according 10 the agreement and Omaha
admitted. The directors of the big league
are now voting by mail on the question of
the protection of Omaha by the Western
Association, and it is conceded that they
will award Omaha to the association.
This leaves Grand Rapids the only ap.
plcant for the place, and two members of
the committee, Manning and Comiskey,
will report in favor of it's admission.
Goodnough will report against it, but
the admission of Lotus, who turns out to
be an anti Brush man, gives that party
majority and assures the franchise for
Grand Rapids.
