TO WHAT BASE USES.
An Italian Shoemaker Short q Small Sum on
Bunko Game


An italian shoemaker, who runs a
small shop on First street, near Spring.
called at Deputy District Attorney
James office yesterday and left with
him a lump of metal supposed to be sill
ver but which looked as though sprink
led with gold.
He said that week or two ago two
men called upon him and wanted him to
lend his assistance in locating silver
mine in Mexico. They were not citizens
and could not file on the claims, but IL
he would do this for them he was to re-
ceive half interest. They had already
been out and worked the mines, prov
ing that they were valuable by getting
the silver out of the ore.
AS evidence of this, they exhibited a
number of chunks of rough-looking
white metal about the size and shape
Of hens egg. This they told him was
pure silver cast by themselves at the
mines Matters went along all right UNI
til the other evening when one of the
men dropped in and said he wanted a
loan Of $3.50 and would leave the silver
chunks as security. He got the money
and has not been seen since.
The Italian was not disabused of the
idea that he had a lot of silver on hand
until he called upon Mr.. James for adj
vice as to how to go to work to locate
the mines in his name and incidentally
showed the metal eggs Then James
gave vent to horse laugh, cut into one
of the Jumps and showed the Italian it
was made Of lead, and kept chunk to
be used as paper weight.
Nothing can be done toward prosecut-
ing the swindlers, as they merely Dor
rowed the money. The mines are, Of
course. fictitious, but the italian still has
on hand $3.50 worth of leaden eggs.

RUNNING PISTOL PRACTICE
Lively Chase in Son0ratOwn After Two
Young Thieves
Three Shots Fired by Officer Talamantes to
Brighten the Fugitives and One Let
Loose In Dead Earnest

Officer Talamantes had a lively chase
last night after two young thieves and
created considerable excitement in So
from his revolver in an unsuccessful eff
fort to stop the fleeing criminals.
About a week ago two young fellows Of
10 and 81 years of age came here from
Chino, and by their suspicious actions
caused themselves to be watched by
Talamantes, whose beat is in Sonora
town, where they made their headquart-
ers. Up to yesterday they committed
no overt act that is known of. They were
seen about p. m, when they went over
to Boyle Heights, returning about 1880,
and, getting off the car in front of the
old Pico house, started down toward
Chinatown.
Talamantes went off duty at s, and,
after reporting at the station, went back,
arriving just in time to see the couple go
| ing down Upper Main street, past the
plaza. He followed and as their actions
were suspicious, overlook and corraled
| them, grabbing each by the coat sleeve.
The bosoms of their soft shirts were
bullying suspiciously, and he made a
search, bringing to light several boxes
of silk handkerchiefs, which had evil
IDENTIFY stolen from Chinese store.
When they saw that they were dis
covered, they made jump for liberty
breaking away, one running one way,
one the other. Talamantes took after
one and was close upon him. Drawing
his revolver he fired three times in the
air over the fugitive's head to make him
stop, but he didn't, he only ran the
faster.
Just as the officer was about to grab
him the fellow lodged into a gateway,
slamming the door to in the officer
face. Talamantes was just close enough
behind to run full tilt into the edge of
the door as it swung shut, knocking him
down and nearly out. He was enough
alive, however, to send one more shot
after the thief, this last one for keeps,
but it missed and the man got clear
away. His pal had also made himself
scarce, and all that Talamantes had to
show for his capture was three boxes Of
silk handkerchief, four empty cham
bers in his gun and a badly blackened
eye, sore neck and shoulder where he ran
into the door.
A telephone call brought several off,
GERS and detectives, who Immediately
separated in a search for the escapes.
They are we'll known and full descrip-
ton has been furnished, so it is not prob
able that they can elude the sleuths for
any length of time.
Later in the evening Officer Sawyer
ran across one of the fellows on Main
street and put him behind the bars. The
young man arrested gave his name as
Porfirio Mijillo and answers the de-
scription of one of the pair to nicely
He was'booked for burglary, and lock-
ed up for the night to await fuller iden-
LITIGATION this morning.

q trolley car on Broadway, a car, by the
way, without the guard upon 1t required
by the city ordinance, two young men
of character stood in full view of the
awful scene and both of them say that
there was no ringing of bell or slacken-
ing of speed until the old man was run
down. Their names and addresses were
both given to the police with full
statement of what they saw, and yet
neither Of them was called before the
coroner's Jury. which exonorated from
culpability both the company and the
unfortunate motorman. OF course, the
jury could not act upon facts not before
them, and the coroner could hardly sum-
mon witnesses unless their names were
furnished them, but why the detectives
who had the names of these young men
failed to furnish them we have no means
of knowing. l have said these things
to you this morning because the extra
ordinary character of this occasion
seems to make II appropriate to call the
attention of the splendid citizenship of
this town to some of the dangers about
us and to arouse them to the necessity
of higher standards and severer meas

which has come to California may drive
out forever that evil element of the Old

aristocrat Of the one who has killed his
man. Life is yet held too cheaply in Cali

exoneration Of men whose hands
are red with blood and the
extreme difficulty of securing the COR

greater difficulty of securing an execu-

conviction has been secured. I call up

A MISSING TIMEPlECP
Two Boys and a Watch Get Mixed Up In O
TGngie

On Main stree last evening Henry
Jackson, a young colored boy, WIS ar
rested by officer Sheets on suspicion of
petty larceny, the complainant being an
other lad named Albert Mandeaves 1t
appears that on Sunday last the boys
were out at Westlake park together, and
Mandeaves loaned Jackson his watch
for few moments. 1t was not returned
to him, and, forgetting that he did not
have 1t in his pocket, the boys separated.
When he found that he was short time
piece, Mandeaves made demand on
Henry for the watch, but the latter de-
MED having it, and claimed that he had
returned it on the same afternoon, q
few minutes after he had received it..
This was denied, and on a fiat refusal
to give it up or acknowledge its possess
ion, the arrest was made. The watch Is
missing, but it will probably require an
expenditure of considerable judicial
gray matter to find out just who is re-
SpOnSible for it's loss.

The Bakersfield Californian, staunch

1T is amusing to see the would-be
pie-counter brigade falling over them
selves to get into line, now that the Re-
publican convention has declared for the
gold standard. Before this they were
coquetting with the silver element or
else roosting on the fence. Now they
are all good gold men, and are already
calling out me too" and opening the
mouths of them for the crumbs of pie
they hope to have tossed to them like
bones to dog. But these time-serving
office-seekers are forgetting that they
will have to reckon with the people, and
there is not much doubt where the
rank and file stand on the financial

CROPPING IN THE DARK
The Detectives Still Working on the White
Case With Little Success

There were no new developments in
the White murder case yesterday, and
the detectives still look wise and say
nothing. Chief Glass was asked about
the matter, and replied that nothing
definite had been accomplished. 1t was
a hard case, and one in which it would
be difficult to prove anything.
Several arrests have been made, but
as yet the parties are merely being de-
tanned to be questioned as to their move
ments on the night of the murder. The
Abbott woman is still in Jail, but it is
said that nothing new has been ELECTED
from her. Her mother, Mrs. Kellett,
called to see her in the afternoon and
brought her children, but the visit was
Of short duration.
1t is possible that something may de-
velop today but as the days go by and
the murderer is still at large the chances
of his apprehension grow less and less.

view says: Cotton advanced to 10 points,
but reacted and closed steady with prices
1873, 900 bales
Today's features: The speculation today
was comparatively dull and fluctuations in
prices We're confined within narrow limits.
The Liverpool news was better than had
been expected and prices rose here at the
opening, ut the Improvement was soon lost.
There was no pressure to buy, and the only
support the market received was from the
covering of shorts. New Orleans sold freely
prices slowly receded. The southern spot
markets in some instances were lower and
less active, and the heavy receipts at the
ports and interior towns induced many to
sell. The crop movement during the balance
OF the month and October is expected to be
heavy as a result of the scarcity of money
at the south. Rains were reported in vari-
Gus sections of Texas during the past forty
eight hours and the crop news today was
somewhat more favorable.
