THE MYSTERY.
When the spellbound girls turned from
the windows they saw that some of the
party had spread the splendid" lunch,
and great was their delight over the idea
of dining in the romantic old tower.
After much chatting and laughter the
hungry young folks were finally all seated
on the floor and went 10 work with such a
will that sandwiches, eggs, fruit, milk,
cake and nuts quickly disappeared.

Little Peek-a- BOO comes tripping
Round the corner of the stair,
Peeking from behicd the table,
Round the sofa and the chair.
First see the golden ringlets,
Then pair of starry eyes,
Sweet with mirth-with laughter shining,
To have noted my surprise,
As the rosy lips half-parted
Say in full sweet baby tones,
"Peek-a-B -Boo-I see 'ou."

LITTLE PEEK-R-BOO.
By Cornie Il. Bartlett.

Sometimes when the shadows lengthen
And the saddened thought descends,
That the web of life I'm weaving
May prove only tangled ends.
Prestol change! away with sadnessl
All, those tumbled curls see,
And / think with Joy exultant
Life is sweet for you and me.
Round my chair he comes a-peek,ng,
Says in full sweet baby tones,

On Saturday, while the witness was
In the city, Sheriff Johnson went out
and arrested Raten. Mr.. Rutter said
that on Thursday last, while in the
courtroom, Raten told him he owed
him - %. This was correct.
In response to question by the court,
Mr.. Rutter said he saw nothing in Ra-
tens manner while he was at his place
to indicate insanity. He showed himself
to be an expert workman with metals.
DETECTIVE FISHER.
Deputy Max Fisher testified to hav-
ing had a conversation with Raten IN
this city the day after his release from
Folsom Prison. Raten talked about
some money that was coming to him
from the railroad company which he
had never received. In February last
witness saw and talked with Raten on
street. The latter told of having been
III Arizona. They found out there who
he was, and fearing that he would be
injured he left there. From Tucson he
went to Ell Paso and also said he worked
in Pittsburg, Pa. From there he went
to Washington and wanted to see the
President about the way people talked
of him in Arizona Thence he went to
New York, and said it cost him $40 to
come back to California by steamer.
BELIEVED HIM SANE.
Sheriff Frank T. Johnson told how he
came to arrest Raten at the Rutter
ranch. The prisoner made different
statements to him regarding the time
he left Stockton for Sacramento, and
said he went to work for Rutter on
ba n
anese were killed.. During subsequent
interviews in the Jail Raten always in
sisted that he went to work for Rutter
on that Tuesday
In these interviews he never volun-
teered any statement about money due
him. AT all times he seemed to be on
his guard. CThis latter statement was
stricken out)
When the witness told Raten that a
pistol had been found in his bed, Ra-
ten said: 'Oh, anyone could have placed
pistol there four or five days after 1
was arrested. Why didn't they find it
the day l was arrested?'
Raten said he had been robbed and
his naturalization papers stolen, but
when they were shown him he had
nothing further to say. From what he
had seen of the prisoner he believed
him to be sane.
On cross-examination Mr.. Johnson
said Raten had spoken of wishing to see
Governor Budd about having some real
or imaginary wrongs righted.
TALKED ALL RIGHT.
Win. J. Davis, Official Stenographer,
was called and stated that in an inter-
view with Raten in the Jail the latter
spoke of his leaving Stockton and going
to work for Rutter on the Sd of March.
Prior to the murder of the Japanese
Raten called on the witness and asked
him to see the County Clerk about get
ting him (Raten) naturalized.
During the Jail interview Raten said
he went to Washington to try and have
the President get him some money that
was due. The witness was impressed
with the prisoners sanity.
The court then took recess till this
morning.

against whom charges of vagrancy
were placed. They were arraigned be-
fore Justice Davis yesterday morning,

Oath.
Both men have histories-Carroll
having served time at Folsom for burg
larry, and Belmont two terms for a like
offense: three years from San Fran
cisco and one year from Los Angeles.
The police believe that the two men
were concocting a series of burglaries
in this city, and, believing that an ounce
of prevention was worth several pounds
of cure. they determined to take the
means at their disposal to prevent any
possible outbreak.
Late in the afternoon the two men
concluded to alter their plea, and ac
cordingly entered one Of guilty. They
were at once sentenced to serve three
months each in the County Jail.
