ROBBER Prick GUILTY,
Held Up the klamath Falls
Stage With a Cedar.
Bark Gun.
Acknowledged to Jail.Breaking and
Told Of the Plans for
the Attack.

PORTLAND, OREGON, Nov. pa. C.
Frick. indicted fer holding UP the Klam-
ath Falls stage month ago and robbing
the mail sack, was found guilty in the
United States court to-day. Frick was put
on the stand in his own defense and testi-
fed that he did not have real gun, but
had made what resembled weapon from
cedar bark. This he had used in holding
up the stage. The imitation gun, he said
had been dropped and lost in patch of
tules where he had taken refuge when
shot by Gordon.
He admitted that he had made his es-
cape from the county jail at Klamath by
cutting his way out. He had been placed
in jail on q charge OF horse-stealing. He
made his escape from the Jail Friday
night and the hold-up took place the fol-
lowing Sunday morning. He SAID that
two men, Foster and Hess, had furnished
him with the tools with which he made
his escape. There was an understanding
between the prisoner and Foster and Hess
that they were to hold up the stage.
The time and place had been agreed
upon, and Frick said he was on hand, but
the other two men did not put in an ap-
pearance. 1t was unders TODD that the
stage would have on board about SIC, 600 on
that trip. They were to rob the stage,
divide the money and Frick was to take a
horse and come down the Willamette Val
ley and make his escape.
The three men had met after Frick had
made his escape from the jail and the
plans had been laid. As the two men did
not appear at the time and place desig-
mated, Frick concluded that he would go it
single-handed with his bark gun. He adj
mitted that he had made the attempt to
rob the mail sack, but did not have dam
gerous weapon. The cedar-bark gun he
said he had made while lying concealed in
the tules after be had escaped from the
Jail.
The jury in less than ten minutes re-
turned a verdict that Frick was guilty of
attempting to rob the mails. The prisoner
heard the verdict without any change of
countenance, but he appeared to consider
himself in luck in getting off as easily as
he did. He will be sentenced on Satur-

Busby, the Colored Man, on Trial for
Murder of Taco Men.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. 27.-the trial
of W. J. Busby, colored, for the murder OF
w. J. Thompson, one of the men who
drank wine poisoned by Busby, who in.
tended it for an enemy, was resumed in
Department this morning.
Antonio Cordano, saloon keeper, testi-
fed that Busby was in his saloon short
time before Thompson and Martin drank
the poisoned wine. The witness saw the
diving agonies of the men, being called
there bv some one who ran in and told him
to get doctor.
Detective Goodman. who arrested Busby
was called to the stand and testified that
he went to the home of Busby's father at
midnight and arrested him. He asked
Busby where be got the poisoned wine
and he at first denied that he had obtained
any or knew anything of what the officer
was talking about.
Goodman then told him he had better
tell the truth and Busby acknowledged
that he had sent the poisoned wine to the
station to be handed to Gardner, the col
ored porter.
He said Gardner was in position he
wanted. and he could not get the position
until Gardner was put out of it. He sent
the poisoned wine to accomplish this pur-
pose, his idea being to make Gardner sick
so that he could get his job.

WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN MISSED
Planned to Get Away Within an
Hours Absence of the Guard on
the Night Watch.

MARYSVILLE, CAL, Nov. q. - Jack
Brady, the train-robber, sentenced to Fol-
som for life, started from here on the jour
ney to prison this morning. Brady's
youth and pleasant, unassuming ways won
for him some sympathy when among
those whose business brings them in daily
association with the criminal classes.
Since Brady's departure, however, his
real character has been revealed in the
story which now comes from the Sheriff S
Office. Last Monday Under Sheriff Crane
made the discovery that Brady's cell had
been sawn nearly through. When con-
fronted by the officer Brady acknowledged
he had arranged plan of escape, and but
for the timely discovery would have been
successful. After freeing himself from the
cell he proposed to break his way through
the brick wall and then, with the aid of q
rope made from his bedtick, two brooms
and a small plank, would scale the outer
wall.
special night guard was set to watch
Brady several weeks ago. He visited the
cell once every hour, and Brady claimed
he had the arrangements so perfected that
he could have made good his escape
within that hour and the guard would
never have missed him until his next
visit.
1t was a fortunate thing the Under
Sheriff made the discovery, or the officers
might now be engaged in another wild
chase after this desperate young bandit,
who would never have submitted to re-
capture without bloodshed.

VALLEY ROAD CONFERENCE
Stockton Track.CrosSings to Be
Put in Shape Desired
by the City.
The Roadbed in Many Places Will
Act as a Levee Against
Rising Waters.

STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. "a confer
ence was held to-day at the Office OF Attor-
ney S. d. Woods of the Valley Railroad
between Chief Engineer Storey and Coun-
cilmel Lang, Koch, Martin and Superin-
tendent of Streets Bidwell for the purpose
Of deciding upon the kind of approaches
to be placed on the various streets where
the railroad tracks cross.
The Council is anxious to have the streets
put in repair before winter and Mr.. Storey
was present to learn what was desired on
the part of the city. The engineer stated
that macadam would be placed at the
crossings of the travelled streets the full
width of the roadway
This work is to be done Immediately and
is satisfactory to the Council. Culverts
are TO be put in the company's roadbed
wherever desired by the Street Surerinten-
dent. They will be provided with gates,
so that they can be opened or closed at will.
In many places the roadbed will act as
levee and protect property from the rising
water of Mormon Channel during periods
OF freshets; but while thus holding in
cheek the water of the channel it will
cause an accumulation of surface water on
the other side of the levee, and the object
of the gates in the culveris is to let this
water run off as soon as the water in the
stream subsidies.

STIRRING UP COUNTY OFFICIALS.
The Los angeles Grand Jury after Al
Ieged Despoiicrs.


teged Despoiicrs.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. 27.-There
will be a stirring up of ury bones IN many
county institutions here before long.
The Grand Jury will be examined on
Tuesday next before Superior Judge Smith
to determine whether or not any memb ers
are disqualified from acting in the capacity
they are now endeavoring to serve. The
validity of the jury has been questioned,
and the com bination will endeavor to
nullify the acts OF that body by having it
declared illegal.
The Grand Jury has lately been turning
its attention to the moneys that have been
taken from the public treasury and ex-
pended under the guise of charity during
the past fifty-four months. The sum
amounts to nearly 100000. Los Angeles
has one of the most extensively conducted
hospitals in the United States. The super
intendent receives the equivalent of $4,000
a year salary. 1t costs the taxpayers on an
average SIC OS per month to maintain q
patient in the County Hospital. 1t costs
twice as much to pay the salaries of at
taches at the County Hospital as is paid
for groceries and produce for the inmates
to eat.
At the county poor farm the average
cost OF maintaining an inmate is S11 So
per head per month. The superintendent
is paid salary equivalent to $500 per
month. Other salaries are paid TO at
taches in proportion. There are said to be
rank abuses at both institutions in the
