ODD FELLOWS BALL

One of the pleasantest balls of the
season was that given by the general
relief committee of the Odd Fellows OF
this city at Turnverein hall last night.
There are about three thousand Odd
Fellows in this city, and they are noted
for doing things on a grand scale. The
ball last night was no exception to their
general rule.
Turnverein hall and the dining room
annexed thereto were crowded from
early evening till early morning with a
merry company. Both hall and din
ing room We're beautifully decorated
for the occasion.
The dining room was in charge of
the Rebekeh Relief board of the city
and the culinary department acquitted
itself in the most creditable manner.
Continuous service in the dining room
Is rare feature at large balls. and the
success and pleasure that attended the
experiment of last night should insure
the general adoption of the plan by pub
lie entertainers and promoters of festi

Tit for fat.

The cry of 'fifty-cent dollar raised
by the gold men in the East, is reacting
upon employers. At Hazleton, Penn
sylvania, many OF those employing large
numbers of men, have experienced con-
siderable trouble. The men got it into
Their heads that silver,dolars and paper
money were not worth more than half
their face value, and at the monthly
paydays refused to take anything but
gold coin. One man, contractor, who
employed 300 men, could not get gold
enough to pay them. The men held a
meeting and decided that they would be
gold men commercially, if their en-
ployers were gold men politically, and
that their labor should be paid for on
'sound money" basis, only. The con-
tractor called at his bank and wanted
81 900 in gold. He was dumbfounded
when the teller told him he could not
get that much gold in the county. Out
OF $ll ,000, 900 on deposit in the several
banks in the county, 1t was estimated
that not one-half the amount of gold
which he required was in circulation
The laborers refused to take more than
five dollars in silver or paper, and the
contractor was greatly embarrassed.
That is treating the gold men right.
They have been insisting that silver
dollars are fifty-cent dollars, and their
employees are taking them at their word.
Out of $l0,OOO,O00 on deposit in the
banks there is not $500 in gold coin and
the laborers whom they employ will not
take anything but gold for their wages.
People who do not handle a ten-dollar
gold piece in their business in six
months, insist on the single gold stan
dard, and when their employees follow
their example they cannot lind gold
enough in the banks to pay them a
months wages.

SUES FOR MINING SHARES.


Philip Deidesheimer Claims He Has
Robbed of a FOrtaEne.
SANTA BARBARA. CAL, July H.
Philip Deidesheimer to-day brought suit
against William w. Hollister, a. n. Butte
ct al. to-recover IL, 1865 shares of mining
stock in the Golden Gate Mining and Mill
ing Company or its value, estimated to
exceed $4,000, together with exemplary
damages in the sum of $4,000.
The complaint states that Deidesheimer
owned sixth interest in certain claims
situated in the Camp Flood mining dis
trlct OF Utah, consisting of the Mabel,
MONDAY, Grasshopper and Gold Dipper
lodes. 1t is charged that at certain
time HOLSTER, then president OF the
company, came TO the pialntlrf,
and, under the pretense that such
procedure would facilitate q sale OF the
property, induced him TO transfer to him
all OF his stock; that this transfer was
made in the presence of witnesses
and was clearly understood TO be
only formal transfer, the property
right being still vested in himself;
that thereupon Hollister transferred this
property to hisiwife Augusta, this tranfer
being fraudulent one, for no valuable
consideration and its object being solely to
deprive Deidesheimer of his rights.
Butts, the mining manager, is then said
to have entered into fraudulent scheme to
purchase the stock, afterwards selling the
entire capital stock of the company to one
John Doe DeImar for sum exceeding
$75, 00O

cAtcAG0s H0LD-UP CARNIVAL.
Seven RobbeTes Up to Midnight-0ne
Officer Killed and the Police
Force DemornGzed.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 11.-One hold-up
after another has been reported to the po-
lice to-day until the number at midnight
reached seven. The police department is
in an uproar
Officer Sauer of the East Chicago-avenue
station prevented one robbery at Division
and Western streets at a late hour, but
was shot and fatally wounded. Four men
armed with revolvers entered the Office OF
the New York Biscuit Company at noon
to- day, held up the cashier at the mu5zles
of their pistols and seizing the money pre-
pared to meet the payroll made off with
1t. The robbers secured over $1,000 and
escaped.
The offices of the company are at RAN
dolph and Morgan streets, and there were
400 people in the building at the time.
Clerk Edward Hines sat close beside the
money. ana when the bookkeeper's in
closure swung open and man entered
Hines thought he was telephone-repair
man. A moment later he was astonished
to see two revolvers pointing at him.
.tStay where you are" cried the robber,
who Immediately seooped in the money
on the desk and placed it in SACK. Then
the thief with a sack in one hand and o
pistol in the other backed through the
door of the private Office and departed
through the other door to Morgan street.
At the time his three companions left by
the other two doors. none of the robbers
were masked.
Another hold-up was prevented by an
officer on Twelfth street viaduct at an
early hour this evening and one of the
robbers was arrested.
At 2l6 Portland avenue laundry Office
was robbed by two boys with revolvers,
who had evidently been reading about the
'long and short men"
Later saloon at Fifty-first and Atlantic
streets was robbed by armed highwaymeH.
The highwaymen have all escaped with
the exception of the one captured on the
viaduct.
While the North Side police were con-
centrating their efforts to find the slayer
of Sergeant Sauer three men held up the
saloon of J. McHale at Erie and Market
streets and secured $40.
Three men with handkerchiefs over
their faces attempted to hold mp Police
Officer Tobus Sardstrum tonight at the
corner of Flfty-first and Princeton streets.
Two of the men presented their revolvers
al Sandstrum and ordered him to throw
up his hands. Instead Of throwing up his
hands the officer knocked up the revolvers
of the two men and drawing his own gun
ordered them to surrender. The third
man ran, but the two with revolvers stood
still with their revolvers in the air. Sand
strum then marched his prisoners to the
station with his revolver leveled at them.
They gave the names of John Wells and

The Patrons of the Commercial
Company Deprived of
Midnight Rays.
THE CITY CLAIMS ITS OWN.
Refuses to Permit an Opposition Cor.
poration to Make Further Use
of Its Poles.

TACOMA, WASH, July 11.-Mayor Faw-
eett, City Electrician Bachelet and squad
of policemen at o'clock this morning
went to the residence part of the city and
began cutting the electric-light wires OF
the commercial Electric Company from
the city poles, on which they were strung.
When the city acquired the light plant
three years ago sixty days notice was re-
quired before the wires could be molested;
but Mayor Fawcett claims a notice given
in March, 1895, was sufficient, though not
then enforced.
The cutting of the wires was continued
to-day until the Commercial Company's
service in the residence section was de-
stroyed.
The Commercial Company secured from
Judge Pritchard this afternoon an order
restraining the city from further destruc-
ton ard from interfering with the COM
pany's replacing the wires thrown down.
This order is returnable Monday morning.
The company then started to put up
wires, but late in the afternoon it was
stopped by an order issued by Judge
Stalloup restraining the company from
stringing wires on poles owned by the
city. The company's officers are lodging
the service of this injunction until after
midnight, and apparently intend to take
advantage of Sunday by putting up the
wires when legal service cannot be had.
The workmen hid themselves, in order
that the injunction might not be served
upon them.
This fight is the outcome of heated COM
petition between the city plant and the
Commercial Company for lighting con-
tracts. The latter's franchise was procured
shortly before the city acquired the Ia
coma Light and Water Company's plant,
and it is now operated by men who were
largely interested in the old water COM
pany. This afternoon the city has secured
many new customers, the pa,rons of the
Commercial being left in darkness.

had been subjected to a microscopic COM

there were so many similar features that
Benson came here to see the prisoner.

ente Canyon.
Evidence That the Slayer of the Rich.
ardson Women Was Aided
by an Accomplish.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, July H.
Sheriff Hicks of Santa Barbara County is
besieged by people who believe they have
clews to the Richardson murder mystery.
The feeling Is general that sufficient re-
ward should be offered for the discovery
OF the murderer or of evidence positively
establishing the guilt of Barnard, the sus-
pect slain while resisting arrest. It is I'M
derstood that Sheriff Hicks has offered a
$3.50 reward from his own private funds.
1t was reported to the Sheriff to-day
that. at 80 Monday morning, Cyrus Bar
nard was seen in company with man on
the boulevard near Booths Hill. The man
was small and had short, dark beard,
brown or black clothes and a brown or
black felt hat.
This man was seen opposite the Rich
ardson house, on the Summerland road,
where he took long inspection of the
place and then returned toward the ceme-
terry.
1t was discovered that Barnard's old
mountain camp was in the Caliente Can
yon, at the headwaters of the Santa Inez
River, across the mountain range. Think
ing that if the stranger were an accom-
plice he might make for this place, a man
went up to examine the trails, and in the
course OF his Investigations found tracks
resembling Barnard's going up to the
mesa, where he could have overlooked the
actions of crackers.
In Romero Canyon was found a Mexi-
can who reported that some one on
horseback went over the trail at mid
night on Sunday. He found the track
of one shod and one unshod horse and
followed it to Blue Canyon, and through
the most devious and unaccountable
wanderings and doublings up and down
the river, finally TO Caliente Canyon, W here.
again doubling, it went up the river IF
teen miles, where it was lost. He is sat
isfed that on the trail Barnard's eompan-
ion OF Monday morning would be found.
