A FATHERS SORROW.
He Appeals to the Police for News Of
His Daupnter.


His Daughter.
Information was lodged with Secretary
McComb of the Humane Society by Jacob
Wiemann of Gil Fourth street, Oak
land, yesterday that his ffteen-year old
daughter Lena had been missing for several
days past. Wiemann also reported that
Carrie Weingart, 955 Fourteenth street,
aged % years, had disappeared from
home and could not be found.
THE two girls" said Mr.. Wiemann.
were constant visitors to tent on Frank,
lin street, near Eleventh, where merry
go-round was in operation. The sport
seemed to turn their minds, and l am
satisfied that they met evil-minded per-
sons there who caused them to leave their
home. l have searched for several DAYS
quietly in the hope of locating the girls
without giving publicity to their disap-
pearance, but being unable to find them
am forced to call upon this society for aid. !"
Mr.. Wiemann describes his daughter as
remarkably well developed girl for her
age, medium sized, with light hair and
complexion. Miss Weingart is taller, quite
slender. and has a prepossessing face and
manners.
The officers of the society last night dis
covered that the girl Lena has been for
some time past a frequenter of San Fran
CISCO theater, and that she repeatedly i'm
plored the management to be allowed to
act on the stage. She has on several oc-
casions been observed at the Oakla nd
ferry late at night, acting in manner that

AULL MAKES DENIAL,
Claims he Assisted Convict Novelist Baohman
From Kindly Motives,

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 19.-"I'll make YOU do
it or I'll break your neck" is the way War
den Aull says Convict Charles L. Bachman
addressed him. 1t was demand that
Warden Aull secure pardon for him.
an. w. Davis is the man who is making
all this trouble" said Warden Aull, COM
menting on the charges which had been
made. "He was the chief of the night
watch, but was dismissed January 1 for
taking out letters surreptitiously.
"He mailed letters to Clinton L. White,
the attorney, in Sacramento, containing
Bachman's charges, but they were so Ii
belous that Mr.. White declined to have
anything so do with him. Bachman
served four or five years in San Quentin,
and Warden McComb had much the same
trouble with him then that have had.
'Bachman spoke repeatedly about get
ting pardon. l never promised him one
What | did say to him was that it would
be advisable for him to keep on his good
behavior, and then the board might at
some time consider his application.
"He did well. He did the work of two
men on the books and was an admirable
prisoner for time. He wanted to get his
book published, and l let him have some
money to assist in this object l did not
receive any money from the sale of the
book.
Last summer I became suspicious that
Bachman was doing crooked work, but [
could not fasten it upon him until the LIST
OF November, when 1 took him off the
books"
Warden Aull then related how Bachman
demanded that he secure pardon from
Governor Markham, saying:
81 had never promised him a pardon.
When he threatened to break my neck, I
thought the man had gone crazy, SO 1
touched the button and he was taken in
charge. 1t was then discovered that he
had pistol in his possession. The whole
scheme of Bachman's is one of blackmail."

share OF the royalty of the partnership

shows some little literary skill and contains
a number of dramatic situations it was of
a very low moral order. In fact, the moral
characters of the dramatis person@ seemed

side. Quick as thought the clerk reached
back to his desk and, picking up revolt
yer, hurried to the window to protect the
treasures there. He was too late, for
tray of diamonds was missing. Another
clerk named Sig Harris ran to the side
door on Stockton place, which had been
locked since early in the morning. Harris
quickly unlocked the heavy iron shutters
and tried to force them out. but thew had
been fastened from the outside and defied
his strength. 1t took him several minutes
to break the doors open and when he
reached the street he saw man on horse
back galloping like mad up the little
alley.
Ali this was done in quicker time than
it takes to tell it. The robbery had been as
ably executed as conceived. The bow was
in the confidence of the thief, and when he
closed the door he locked it with Yale
paddock. This was done easily, for the
door is usually locked in that manner.
There were two staples, one in each door,
and all the lad had to do was to slip the
tongue of the paddock through the two
iron hoops and snapit.
Whoever the thief or thieves were they
were familiar with the place. They had
secured the side door by stringing four
strands OF electric wire across it, in antici-
patton of an attack from the store.
NJ. j. Franklin, the proprietor of the
shop, said that he suspected three Young
men who were lettering in front of his
place last week. They were sizing the
place UP, he said, and one Of them re-
marked: "You can't beat the burglar
alarm"
Mr. Franklin, disliking the appearance
of the trio shortly after closed the store
for the evening. He could not give de-
scription of the three men. He estimates
his loss at between $4,000 and $4,000. but
says that he will not know the exact
amount until he has taken stock of the ar
ticles in pawn.
The name of the man who grappled with
the robber is Jules ]. Bailey. bookbinder
living at Cadet alley. He saws that
when the thief fired he kept his face
averted so that he could not be recognized.
The young man who hired the horse last
night took the same animal out on Mon
day and was absent for about three hours.
The police think that he had contem plated
committing the robbery on that night, but
that something had deferred him. When
he went to the stable last night he asked
whether he could have the same horse
that he had been given the previous night.
The stableman said that he appeared very
nervous. The animal is a small sorrel
mare, white spot on the forehead, and
branded K on the shoulder. 1t had on q
Mexican saddle nearly new.
The horse was found at midnight hitcbed
to post on Bush street, between HYDE
and LeayenWorth.

may be that Captain Aull feeling toward
Bachman as he did told him that in case
any questions were asked concerning his
conduct in the prison he would speak ia
vorably. This, as the records show, the
Warden could have done with an easy con-
science. The Warden swears in his affi-
davit that he said nothing about pardon
to Bachman, and the directors believe him
in preference to a convict-that's all.
"Were any OF those letters which Bach
man wrote sent outP"
of Bachman's scheme to bulldoze the War
den. He had the convict who was his
cellmate bring the piece of letter to the
Warden as a part of the plan. Possibly
with the privileges he enjoyed Bachman
might have smuggled the letter out, for
you know all letters are inspected but if
any had been sent out something would
have been heard of them"
"Did the Warden admit having added
some chapters to the book from his per-
sonal experience in catching stage
robbers? ?"
mo. He did nothing of the sort, as
understand it. He said that he went over
the manuscript and made few sugges-
tons regarding il"
The book which is involved in this rather
peculiar and mixed-up affair was entitled
5'Redeemed" The title was given it by the
publishers after they had finally accepted
the manuscript Considering that it orig
mated on this coast the number of volumes
that were sent out here was not large. The
local agents for Dillingham; e. Co. say that
the copies which they did receive sold fairly
well. No second edition was issued, how
ever, for the prison-made book, and in

GREAT FALLS, Mon, Nov. Tho
commission of which George Bird Grin
nell of Forest and Stream New York, is
chairman, has negotiated q treaty with
the Blacklist Indians whereby the gov
eminent is to pay 81, 500, 600 to tho In
dams for m immense tract of their land
along the Eastern base of the Rockies
running north to the international
boundary which is very rich in mineral
deposits, as well as having value for
grazing and agricultural purposes.
With the Fort Belknap Indians,
another treaty was made by tho same
commission by which the govern
ment, on payment of $3.50, 600, will
come into possession Of another large
tract Of land, also of great value by
reason of mineral deposits, in the Little
Rockies, south of Chinook. Assayers
declare that samples Of the ore show
from 30 to 80 per cent of copper, with
several ounces Of silver, and some gold.
This tract is also valuable ON count of
it's hay meadows, and grazing and agri-
cultural lands. Those two purchases
will give miners and settlers access to
much good territory.

OF a dispatch from General De Campos:
Referring to your cablegram of Oct.
30 expressing dissatisfaction at the
newspaper interview in which 1 ex-
pressed the opinion that the United
States would recognize Cuban belliger.
ency reiterate my statement and say
further that if this war is not brought
to a speedy termination by granting
home rule to Cuba the United States
will surely give aid to the insurgents
and espouse their cause sooner or later.

means Of ending the struggle without
the loss Of many lives and waste Of the
immense wealth of the island"

afternoon and was locked up in the cali

formerly worked in Sioux Falls. Officer
Tracey looked after him last night, and
about 9 O'Clock he received a four-ounce

fore the robbery a party Of three men

to be hunters returning from Big Stone

to the eastern market and were waiting
for q remittance through the Madison
