SINKING FAST
The Fast Approaching End Of an Oklahoma
Outlaw

! nc TaSt approaching EhO OF an Okianoma
Outlaw
ENID. o. t., Aug. 16.-Zip Wyatt the
famous Oklahoma outlaw, who was snot
through the body by United States mar
shals in the battle which ended in his
capture, now lies in jail here with no
hope of his recovery. For the last two
days and nights Wyatt's mind has
seemed to leave him at intervals, when,
in half dreamy way he imagines him
self on the road again, holding up trains
and going over the many lawless scenes
OF his life. He seems to think himself in
command Of train robbers and gives Or
ders to the boys in stern manner curs-
ing them when they do not obey orders.
At one time he yelled out: "That's the
way to do it boys make every last one of
them cough up. We will make more mon-
ey out of this train robbery than we
could make swlping horses all summer;
cough up here old fellow--how much
have you got?" etc.
ZIP is sinking fast; not eating any
thing worth speaking of, and it will not
be long until the noted bandit will be
compelled to succumb to the inevitable
and 60 over tho range to meet the
boys of his gang who have gone before.

PASADENA, Aug. 15.-There IS a tail

prising brother tailor will rustic around
early this morning before he sees the
Herald. and make deal with him. He
is thoroughly conviced that his shop and
his business is 'hoodoed'' for all time to
come. He was laboring under great ex
element when he told the Herald cores
pondent his tale of wee this afternoon
and in his broken English expressed as
best he could his conviction that there
was something uncanny about the strange
succession OF incidents which have SO
harrassed him of late.
First a bolt of expensive cloth is stolen
from his shop, then the report is spread
around that he has accused certain
other tailor of the theft, when nothing
was further from his thoughts. and this
other tailor comes in ready to wipe up
the earth with him; then to satisfy both,
they 60 to a certain other member of the
craft. who told the story. and he pitches
tham both out into the street, without
the explanation for which they came.
Meanwhile the bolt of cloth comes back
through the mail, leaving the circum
sances of the theft and the identity OF the
thief as thoroughly shrouded in mystery
as ever.
But ms If this were not enough, close
upon'ths heels OF this unusual succession
OF events, comes another. 1t was only
yesterday morning that the stolen goods
came back, and now this morning a
young man we'll known to the tailor
comes into the shop with bolt of fine
goods on his arm and asks what he will
charge to make it up into dress suit for
him. The tailor looks at the goods and
then at his own pile of choice fabrics, re-
marking that it is just like bolt OF goods
that he has. Goes to the pile and begins
to taYe down the bolts and not seeing
the one he is after. gets excited and rushes
back to the customers bolt of cloth, ex-
amines the tag upon it. and the flow OF
Teutonic expletives let loose upon the un-
Offending atmosphere, aud Incidentally
upon the innocent young man, was enough
to give him the mig ghtmare for week to
come. He explained that he had bought
the goods of man for $5, and lie thought
that the tailor ought tu share the loss
with him If he expected a return Of the
cloth, since he had bought the goods in
entire good faith. not knowing that they
were stolen. Nothing can convince the
tailor that his shop is not "queered.
and that there is not conspiracy of the
fates, (perhaps in the shape of the several

SAN BERNARDINO. Aug. 16.--Mrs.
Leonora Hammer. who is just now man.
aging her husbands restaurant, near the
Santa Fe depot, horsewhipped an ex-
boarder named William Arnold just before
noon today, and both OF them were in
Judge Wright's court two hours later,
Arnold as complaining witness and
Mrs. Hammer under arrest for battery.
Arnold owes the restaurant $2.75; that
much is admitted by all parties concern
ed. About II o'clock he was sitting at the
Santa Fe depot in conversation with
Councilman Reeves, when Mrs. Hammer
approached and referred to the bill due,
and to certain order for its payment.
about which there is some difference OF
oplnon. Arnold denied that he had given
the order, and Mrs. Hammer says he call
ed her a liar and forger. while Arnold
insisted that she taunted him with being
liar and a cheat.
At any rate. Mrs. Hammer withlfew to
the restaurant across the street, and a few
seconds later emerged with a horse whip,
and she was no. slow in getting across
the street, and unmindtul of the dignity
of the law, represented by the policeman,
she fell upon the unfortunate Arnold,
who is railroad employee. The police
man finally succeeded in stopping the
conflict, and Mrs. Hammer retired vic
tor, while the vanquished Arnold sought
consolation by coming down town and
swearing out complaint charging Mrs.
Hammer with battery. Mrs. Hammer
demanded jury trial, which was set for
o'cock p. M. Tuesday. When he found
that she was going to fight the case, Ar
mold began to weaken, and has half a
notion to drop the prosecution.

A Bicycle Track

PASADENA. Aug. 16.-Bids we're
opened yesterday afternoon for the con.
struction of the new bicycle track on Lin
coin avenue. The following are the three
lowest bids: Charles Mushrush, $l065 /;
J. b. Hughes, $l373; and H. E. Cope
land. $l65450 The bid of Mr.. Mushrush
will probably be accepted, although 1t is
not yet decided. The track is to be mod
eled after the latest constructed tracks in
this country, and will probably be built
on the lines OF the Manhattan Beach
track. although it is expected to be an
improvement over that one. and to be O -,
of the very best in the country. The Y
erage width of the track from one side to
the other is 2S5 feet and the average
length 1860 feet. The width of tie curves
are 2S.5 feet with banks Of ABOUT 81 feet.
The width of the straight-away ON one
nde 23.5 feet and ON tho other 33 feet,
The latter stretch being the side of the
iuish. The local authorities on cycling
matters say that this makes an ideal
track with its wide curves and hign
banks. and it ought to be the means of
having the bicycle manufacturers send
their racing teams here to tram during
the winter and spring.
