A FRESH SPECIAL.
he Arrests Two Men Who Answered
Him Sharply.

Robert Spalding and Charles Gagus
were arrested by Special officer G.. W.
Cole yesterday morning and charged
with having disturbed the peace. In
order to avert a continuance in the case
they entered pleas of guilty and We're
fined 81 90 each by Justice Davis.
According to the two men who were
arrested, Gagus dropped a piece of mon
ey and was searching for it, when Cole
appeared on the scene and began ask
ing questions. He was told to go on
or he would set his crown cracked,
Whereupon he became excited, showed
his star, which had been buried under
his civilian coat, drew his pistol and
fired shot into the air.
This brought Officers Maley and Fish
er to the scene, and Gagus and Spalding
were taken to the City Prison.
After court was adjourned, Justice
Davis stated that had the case come to
trial the men would undoubtedly have
been discharged, their actions having
been only natural. The Judge supple
mented his remarks with the statement
that number of special police officers
were decidedly fresh and showed poor
judgment in making arrests.
Apropos to this is story going the
rounds in police circles relating how q
'speciaP' arrested four men who were
sitting under tree on water front. One
OF the men proved to be an ex-conVict.
and turning upon the arresting officer
he said:
I'll even matters with you in the fu-
ture"
This, so the story goes, got the nerve
of the guardian of the law, who ad-
vised with his friends, whom he told
that he expected to be murdered at any
time. To avoid such a horrible end he
visited barber shop, where he sacri-
feed his mustache in the interest of
long life, hoping against hope that thus
disguised the ex-convict would not rec
ogniZe him.

RESIDENCE BURNED.
That of Cornelius TOomey, Near
ROutier's, Goes Up in Smoke.

The residence of Cornelius Toomey,
who lives about one and one-half miles
south of Routiers, on the old HangtoWn
road, was destroyed by fire on Thurs
day night about half-past IL o'clock.
Mr.. and Mrs. Toomey left home at l
o'clock that afternoon to go to the fair,
and went to the Pavilion at night. w hen
they left home the house was all r1ght
and no fires were burning. Yesterday,
when they returned at a. M, tney
found 1T heap of embers and the WIND
mill and tank, which stood about lOU
feet from the house, were on fire. Ihere
was no wind at the time, ana the CIT
cumstances make the fire appear very
mysterious. Tramps have been very
numerous around there for SeVeral
days, as the police are driving them out
of the city, and the neighbors are dis
posed to think the house may nave
been robbed and then set on f1re TO
cover up the robbery. There was only
q very small insurance on it.

Filed an Amended Answer.

The National Fruit Association has
filed it's amended answer in the suit of
FL. A. Root against it. 1t admits that
1t entered into a contract on June 70,
1894, with F. Kripp whereby he was to
furnish it with his crop of Bartlett
pears, of merchantable quality, suitable
for Eastern shipment, at - cents a
box, up to July 10Th, he to pick and de-
liver the pears and the defendants to
furnish boxes and pack them.
1t alleges, however, that Kripp never
offered to deliver the pears, and that
if he had SO offered he could not have
delivered the fruit, as he did not have it
picked. 1t also alleges that by reason Of
the conditions Of lawlessness or insur-
rectiOn existing on the 11th of July,
when Kripp claims to have offered to
deliver the fruit, the company could not
by reason Of the failure Of the Southern
Pacific Company to forward it, have
received it. Wherefore 1t denies that
