His Son in the
Street.
TO WHEEL THROUGH EUROPE.
How Jail-Breaker Hickey Managed
to Elude Pursuit for
Many Days.

S. n. Fielding, an old gentleman, got
into an alteration with his son, w. P.
Fielding, q Pullman palace-car conductor,
in front of the Galindo Hotel yesterday.
The father became excited and pulled out
a revolver, which he pointed at his son.
The crowd that had gathered dispersed in
a hurry upon seeing the weapon brand
ished before them, but the young man
took the revolver from his father and put
it into his pocket.
1t happened that Chief Schaffer was
passing by, and he separated the two. No
arrests were made. 1t is understood that
the trouble arose over domestic difficulties.
Hickey Brought Back.
Hickey, the Oakland jail-breaker, is once
more behind prison bars. Jail-keeper Al
White returned from Reno with him yes
terday morning at O'Clock. When seen
at the County Jail yesterday afternoon
Hickey was not inclined to be talkative.
In answer 10 the question as to now he felt
ne said Pretty blue" Coming down on
the train Deputy White said his prisoner
was very careful not to say anything that
would in anywise, plicate himself. When
Hickey escaped from jail he &ent that
night direct to Fruitvale, near which place
he STAYED in the hills in SecluslOn all the
next day. The two following nights were
spent in travelling to Roseville. During
the three nights that he travelled on foot
at no time did he follow road or railroad
track, but made his way through the hills.
When the train upon which he was
travelling was wrecked near Reno, Hickey
had narrow escape from meeting the
same fate as his companion. 1t seems
that the train was behind time and going
at the rate of sixty miles an hour when it
jumped the track. He was riding on the
brakebeam near the front Of the second
car. When the train left the track Hickey
still held his seat, but his companion was
thrown off, with the result that he was
ground into an unacceptable mass. Then
he tried his hurriedly originated plan OF
representing the dead tramp to the officer
as Hickey, the Oakland jail-breaker, but
the scheme failed. Even after pictures were
procured Hickey maintained his inno-
cence- The officers say that he looked over
the photographs with unusual calmness.
He was not imprisoned the first night, but
was given room in hotel. The next
day the officers thought that, for safety
sake, they would lock him up. He pro
tested his innocence until Jailer White
arrived, when he gave in.
He has been placed in darkened cell in
the Alameda County Jail, where escape Is
utterly impossible. A close watch will be
kept upon him until his case is settled
