GOT THE RIGHT MAN.
Tom Harris Will Have to Answer a
Petty Larceny Charge.

AT $3.50 yesterday afternoon Thomas
Harris was booked at the police station
hy Officer Lennon on charge Of petty
larceny growing out of the theft of a
suit of clothing from in front of the sec
ondhand store of Mr.. Harband. at 14I
South Los Angeles street, Thursday ev
ening. The suit was stolen by an un-
known person and the loss was promptly
reported to the police.
Friday afternoon officer Lennon ar
rested a youth named Charles Madison
in Kiver's secondhand store while trying
to sell the stolen suit. Madison claimed
that he had bought the clothing from an
other party for ST.. and simply desired a
chance to point out the man and estab-
hsh his innocence. This was given him
yesterday, and Harris was identified by
him as the party from whom he procured
the clothing.
He was arrested in Sonoratown, but
when charged with the crime denied all
knowledge of it, saying he was drunk at
the time and remembered nothing OF his
actions. 1t was found, however that he
had burned the vest of the suit in order,
probably, to defeat any attempt at pos
sible Identification of the clothing as a
complete suit such as was stolen. All
evidence seemed to point to him as the
thief and accordingly he was sent in and
locked up. Madison will appear as a
witness against him a the trial.

THAT SALT LAKE RAILROAD
Evidence That II Will Soon Be
Built
Connection With the Oregon Short Line
to Be Made From This City.
Ties Already Bought.

An attempt is now being made to seq
regate by legal process that part of the
Union Pacific railroad known as the Or
egon Short Line, extending between Salt
Lake City and Milford in Nevada, and
form an independent road. If this can be
done it is claimed on very good authority
that the building of the long talked of
Salt Lake roa4 is, but the matter of a
short time.
The Union Pacific system is now under
the control of receiver, and until this
obstacle is removed no improvements
can be made, but just as soon as it can be
formed into an independent line there
will be no barrier to prevent it from ex-
tending its limits.
BY decree of the federal court at Salt
Lake City on December 1st, the defend
ant Oregon Short Line and Utah North
ern Railway company is required to pay
to the clerk of the federal court the
amount of $2,417,516 within five days,
otherwise the lines embraced in the sys
TEN will be sold at public auction to the
highest bidder for cash after four weeks
pub.icat ton of the notice of sale.
1t Is claimed that the bondholders of
the road have brought about this condi-
ton of affairs and expect to buy the road
themselves, thus getting it out of the
hands of the receivers.
1t is further stated that these same
parties have already secured the right
of way for considerable distance be-
tween Milford and Los Angeles, which is
about 400 miles. A company has been
organized for a year past, called the
Utah and California Railway company,
waiting and ready to build from Milford
to Los Angeles as sAon as they could get
this piece of road cut loose from the
Union Pacific system. That the new
company have all their ties and rails
bought and contracts for delivery made
and will begin work Immediately after
they get possession of the road 1t is
The intention of the new company to
build their road down from Milford
through the great coal districts of south
western Utah into Nevada and then
through the fertile and rich Las Vegas
valley to Goode Springs, where there are
millions of tons of lead, and then on to
Los Angeles, opening up to the farmer
and home seeker a vast area of fertile
country.

Mclean was taken north to Delano to
answer to chargeof paying for a car
load Of horses, which he bought there,
with a worthless draft, all of which was
eploited in the daily papers at the time.
The charge against him fell through,
however, and Mclean Immediately re-
turned to this city. The warrant for his
arrest arrived at police headquarters in
yesterday mornings mail, and within
two hours the man was behind the bars.
telegram was sent to Constable Tib-
bits at Bakersfield, notifying him of
the capture, to which he replied saying
that he would be down on the first train
for the prisoher, and also that he held a
felony warrant for his arrest Tibbitts

Mclean Is a well known character
about town and is man Of fine personal
appearance. OF late he has been en-
gagged in the buying and selling of horses
and 1t is probably over a deal of this ma
ture that the complaint has been sworn
out, although the warrant of course
gives no particulars. Upon the arrival
Of the officer he will at once be taken

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when a man is slowly wasting away

writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea of sexual weakness until it was a
question whether he had not better take
a dose of poison and thus end all his
troubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of combi-
nation of medicines that not only COM
pletely restored the general health, but
enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to
natural size and vigor and he now de-
clares that any man who will take the
trouble to send his name and address
