THE DOG CATCHER RESIGNS
Too Many Vigorous Kicks Registered to Suit
His Motion

His Notion
There Is no longer a dog catcher, and
for the next few days. at least, unlic-
ensed ours may roam the streets with
impunity. George Vacher, poundmaster
and dog catcher, handed in his resig-
nation Of the latter office to Chief of
Police Glass late Thursday evening
but will retain his grip on the office of
poundmaster for a time. On Thursday
morning the chief pulled vacher over
the Goals regarding the conduct of some
of his men, who were claimed to have
been caught in the attempt to open
gates and allow valuable dogs to es-
cape onto the street that they might cap
ture and imprison them.
Other parties claimed to have had
their animals, bearing the proper tags,
taken off in the wagon. notwithstand.
ing protests made against it. Such
reputable men as Mr.. Anderson, of the
firm Of Anderson and Chanslor, were
the authors Of the complaints, and the
chief used some emphatic language re-
garding the proper conduct of the dog
catchers. This seemed to disgust Vacher
and he concluded to throw up the job
as thankless task and accordingly sent
in his resignation. At the next meeting
of the police commission a new man
will probably be appointed.

THE OCnOA MURDER
The Indian cheura Takes a Rambling and
Discern ected Statement.

The Indian Cheura Takes a Rambling and
Disconn ected Statement.
Francisco Cheura, the Indian charged
with having murdered Ochoa near Dew
IFS gate, was brought up again In the
township court, before Justice Young,
yesterday.
The defendant Is an understood man
of robust physique and repellant fea-
lures. Small, scintillating and shifting
eyes peer from beneath a low beetling
forehead, and altogether his personality
is not such as to progresses one in his
favor. This is the third time he has got
into trouble for serious offenses and
when under the influence of liquor he is
said to be veritable fiend.
At the same time he cut rather pite-
GUS figure yesterday when he was on
the witness stand telling the story Of
Ochoa's death, so far as he confessed to
knowing 1t. The good camaraderie of
Deputy District Attorney Williams
drew from him answers to every ques-
ton and involved him in contradictions,
and yet he accepted prosecuting coun-
sells genial smile and pleasant remarks
at their face value and laughed in re-
turn while he with his own hands be-
gan to weave the rope that will hang
MIN. he nau no attorney to ADVISE him
what to do, least of all to keep his mouth
shut. and so in the spider meshes of legal
technicality he got entangled.
Cheura's statement was disconnected
and rambling. He admitted being with
Ochoa when the latter met his DEATH
They had been drinking together out of
jug of wine. and while walking along
the road Ochoa, who had become ex-
cited took hold of him. In a friendly
way they tussled together and while it
was going on Ochoa fell down and in
some way was pierced by the knife.
Witness thought he must have killed
himself, either with intention or by ac-
cident, by falling on the point of his
knife. the blade of which penetrated
through the back.
AS Ochoa lay groaning in the road
Cheura became frightened at the
thought that he was going to die and he
walked away. He went over the hills
to Ochoa's camp and got another shirt
his own being covered with blood, and
then went away.
Upon conclusion of his statemene JUS
tice Young held Cheura to answer to the
charge Of murder without bail, and he
was removed back to Jail.

of yesterday in the police court, but most
of the cases were continued for one rea-
son or another. A few minor offenders
were fined. and several lottery ticket

the district attorney, which comprised
the net results of the day

interminable case of j. L. LeWith, be-

ceny. Two days have already been
spent in trying to secure jury, and a
venire of seventy-two talesmen had been
summoned. Owing to the fact that
more than one officer had been engaged
in summoning the venire an objection
was raised. Forty of the men had beer

THREE AMATEUR THIEVES
OF Respectable Connections, They Take by
Preference to the Road

Preference to the Road
A. N. Pierson, Ed Goodman and J.
Lovett are the names of three enterprise
is not over twenty-three years of age,
who are now in the county Jail on the
charge of horse stealing.
They Were brought before Justice
Young yesterday and arraigned, their
bonds being placed at $1,000 each, which
were not furnished.
A couple of weeks ago the trio started
out in a curiously reckless way to bring
themselves and their families, all of
them being we'll connected, into discredit
and disgrace.
Saturday two weeks ago they stole a
horse and wagon in this city belonging
to painter named VIM. They drove
to Hollywood and purchased a load of
watermelons and then headed for Los
Angeles again. En- route this promis-
ing trio stole sorrel horse, and upon ar
irving in town took Winn's horse to the
stable, replacing it with the sorrel, the
latest acquisition. Then they started
for Santa Monica and so on to Redondo.
Not content with the simple delights of
the seaside resort, they returned to this
city, stealing mare belonging to Mr..
Tucker at Hyde park. while on the way.
In the city they snapped the sorrel horse
for a set of harness and hitched up the
mare to the stolen wagon.
In this guise all three drove to Glen
dale, where the mare was traded for a
bay horse and they received S. in addi-
ton. They then returned to Redondo,
at which place they were arrested.
This is the story as outlined by Lovett,
who made confession Of the entire af-
fair. Sheriff Burr was informed of the
theft of Mr.. WINS wagon, and an eff
fort was made to discover the thieves.
Ultimately the trio were traced and cap
tured as indicated.
Now the very puZzling question arises,
by what mental bedevilment have these
very amateurish young horse thieves
elected to leave their friends and pleas
ant surroundings and with open eyes
enter the states prison?

District Attorney McComas, who spoke
for one and half hours. Counsel Tor
the prosecution failed not to dwell upon
the various contradictions contained IN
the statement made by the detenoant
himself while on the witness stand. and
made as good an argument as the curl
Gus nature of the testimony would ad-
nit of.
At twenty-five minutes to o'clock the
Jury retired and after being out for about
half an hour returned into court with
a verdict Of acquittal.
The defendant was dicharged from
custody and left with a number of his
Spanish speaking friends seemingly
highly elated.

and elaborate preparations are being
made to celebrate the event. The festiv-

in the hall of the association. 1t has
been found that there are now living in
St. .Johnsbury eight men who were men,
bers in 1858. These men have all been
invited to be present and take part in the
service. There are two eX presidents
living here who will also be present, and
all persons who have ever been members
of the association are cordially invited to
participate. In the evening at Music
Hall the anniversary exercises will take
place. They will be very interesting and
include singing by a male chorus.
short historical sketch, and the
anniversary address by Rev. Joseph An.

There will be no evening service in the
churches, and Music Hall will no doubt
be full to overflowing.
