SECOND BREAK FOR LIBERTY
Notorious Crook Who OF Late Had
Devoted His Time to Purloin-
Ing Bicycles.

EUREKA, CAL, Aug. 31.-Russell, alias
Ferrin, alias Moran, bicycle bandit. burg
lar and all-around crook, made another
dash for liberty this morning, completely
outwitting Under Sheriff Ferrill and
Deputy Sheriff Brown.
Russell yesterday took out the gas
burners near his cell, and when the Depu-
ties came to lock UP last night there was
little light. A dummy with his sweater
on had been placed in the cell cot and
Russell had climbed on to the grating
above the cell. When the officers APP
preached the door of Russell's cell was
pulled to by an attached string, while the
dangling of his boots upon the floor made
it appear that he was walking within.
AS soon as the officer who unlocked in
the morning was at the further end of the
room, Russell quietly slipped down, stole
out of the jail door and disappeared

A Confidence Man Who Works on an

Il Confidence Man Who Works on an
Ectensire Scale.
SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Aug. 81
The clever forger who succeeded in pass
ing two bogus checks on couple of San
Bernardino merchants by using leading
business mans name as a bait was evil
IDENTIFY prepared to reap harvest in this
portion of the State. This afternoon q
number of torn checks were found q few
miles south of the city on the road to
Cotton. Many were filled out with the
names of business men of Cotton, Pomona,
Redlands, Riverside and San Bernardino
Most of the checks were on the San Ber-
nardino National Bank and the Orange
growers Bank of Riverside. Along with
the checks on common note paper was a
list of names of business men from South
ern California points.
After working two firms in this city the
man went to Cotton, where he spent money
quite freely in the saloons. From there, it
is thought, he went to Riverside. He is
evidently well posted on the places he
works, as he picks out leading man and
then sends letters with checks by boy to
a firm with whom he knows his man has a
good standing. He selects the nighttime
for his work, claiming in his letters that
he needs the money very badly.

shaw stables, Bernardo, Raindrop and
Hello, well known to lovers of the course,
started.
At the fall of the flag Tigress took the
lead, Bernardo second. They ran well
punched up to the three-quarter pole, when
Bernardo, well ridden by Joe McCarty,
took the lead and won handily from
Tigress. Romulus, with Whittier up, was
left at the post.
Then came a match between Baldwin s
Frondeur and Hobart's Sallle M, distance
fve-eighths of mile. To an even break
Sallie NJ took the lead, Hobart turning
wide in the stretch, carrying Baldwin out
and coming in handily. Baldwin rode
with very poor judgment. He could have
taken the lead at the head of the stretch
and, no doubt, have won the race.
In the next event four entries were
scratched, leaving five to face the starter.
To an even break Hobart, on Fusilade,
took the lead. Finesse, well ridden by
Whittier, collared him at the half-mile
post and won easily. Mr.. Whittier lost
one stirrup at the start, and rode the race
remarkably we'll under difficulties. Ger
onimo was third. The betting was about
even money, with Finesse the favorite.
The fourth race was two-mile steeple-
chase, handicap, and proved the most in
teresting not only Of the day but also of
the entire meet. The race was between
three good horses-Mestor, Ali Bahia and
Guadalupe, BarcaIdine being scratched
at the last moment. Guadalupe led by
courtesy for a mile and half when the
race was on. At the head of the stretch it
looked Ali Baba, but Mestor, ridden and
placed with excellent Judgment by Hen
messy, won out by length and half
easily. This makes the second winning
for Mestor here, and good judges say it
would take good horse to beat him in a
two-mile race.
The sixth and last race of the day, which
was a mile and half steeplechase, was
won handily by Doc Tevis. After the
runaway of this mount on Thursday he
was well thought of by the talent here for
this race, especially as Hobart's special
jockey MARA was up. 1t was predicted
that he would win hands down. At the
fall of the flag he took the lead and was
never troubled, winning by three lengths
or more from Ii Hung Chang. Gaiety

n UTAH WOMEN NOT TO VOTE.
Decision of the Supreme Court on the
Suffrage Question.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, Aug. 81
The Territorial Supreme Court to-day
handed down its decision on the woman g
suffrage question, holding that only male
citizens are entitled to vote on the adop-
ton or rejection of the State constitution
and for the first State Office.
The basis for this decision, as stated by
the court, was that the Edmunds-Tucker
act, which disfranchised women in the
Territory of Utah, is still in force and ap-
plicable until it is repealed or the Terri
tory actually becomes State, Chief JUS
tice Merritt (Democrat) and Associate
Justice Bartsch (Republican) agreeing in
that view.
Associate Justice King, Democrat. de-
livered dissenting opinion, holding that
the enabling act by Implication repealed
the provision of the Edmunds-Tucker act,
and that women were entitled to vote on
the constitution and for the first State
Office.

was made to the charge of cruelty and no
evidence was taken in his behalf.
At the conclusion of the trial Judge
Pierce granted the decree, restoring the
plaintiffs maiden name of Zilla Du-
mouriez and granting her prayer for ali
mony OF $4,000: This sum the plaintiff is
alleged to have loaned to Mayne in cash
since their marriage, and though Mayne is
reported to be almost penniless the iudg-
ment will stand against him for the
amount.

CURE FOR HEADACHE.

San excellent and never failing cure
for nervous headache said an apostle
of physical culture to reporter Of the
New York Evening Sun, ''is the simple
act of walking backward. just try il
sometime If you have any doubt about
it. have yet to meet the person who
didn't acknowledge its efficacy after a
trial. Nobody has as yet discovered OF
formulated reason why such process
should bring such certain relief. Ply.
sicians say that it is probably because
the reflex action of the body trings
about a reflex action OF the brain, and
thus drives away the pain that when
produced by nervousness is the result OF
too much going forward. AS soon as
you begin to walk backward, however,
there comes feeling Of everything be-
::ng reversed, and this is followed by re-
lief. The relief is always certain and
generally speedy. Ten minutes is the
longest I have ever found necessary.
An entry, or long narrow room makes
the best place for such a promenade.
You should walk very slowly, letting
the ball Of your foot touch the floor first
and then the heel: just the way one
should, in theory, walk forward, but
which, in practice, is SO rarely done.
Resides curing nervous headaches, there
is no better way to learn to walk well
and gracefully forward than the practice
Of walking backward. A half hour of it
once day will do wonders toward inn
proving the gait OF any woman"
