SANTA CRUz'S BAD BOYS,
The Young Burglars Make Full
Confessions of Their
Crimes.
One of the Lads Is the Son of Hon
est and Industrious
Parents.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, March 12.-The
boys who were arrested last night for COM
mitting all the burglaries which have
baffled the police of this city for many
weeks past have all made confessions TO-
night to the District Attorney. They were
put in separate quarters in the Jail where
there was no possible means of communi-
cation.
Archie Schenck told of his implication
in the robberies early in the evening, and
Claude Ranger, the colored boy, betrayed
himself by talking too much. The ring
leader, John Weinhurst, alias Howard,
who is confined in one of the steel cells,
overheard a visitor to one of the prisoners
telling the story and listened attentively.
He heard the remark made that one boy
had confessed everything and the other
boy was about to do likewise, so when Dis
trict Attorney Lindsay approached Vein
hurst later he made clean breast of the
affair. He acknowledged entering the sew
eral places that We're robbed and obtaining
money from all but one. He said his only
companion was Schenck. Schenck is the
son of an honest, industrious father, who
feels his boys implication in the crime
most keenly.
1t is probable that the two young boys,
Schenck and Wilson, will be sent to the
lone Reform School and that Weinhurst
will plead guilty, for he has served thirty
days in the County Jail for vagrancy and
a term in reform school.

dies the Lieutenant-Governor does not be-
come Governor, and therefore there Is
no vacancy in. the office OF Lieutenant
Governor. By virtue OF his being Lleuten-
ant-Governor the powers and duties OF the
office of Governor simply devolve upon
him. Should he die while exercising such
powers the President pro tenn. OF the Senate
shall act as Governor. In that case he
would be Governor of the State and Presl-
dent pro TEN. of the Senate at the same
time.
"The constitution provides that when
vacancies occur in either house the Gov
ernor, or the person exercising the func-
tons of the Governor, shall issue writs of
election to fill such vacancies. You Will
notice by this that when Lieutenant
Governor dies there is no provision OF law
for any person to exercise his functions.
A vacancy simply exists which the Gov
ernor must fill. If the Governor and
Lieutenant Governor both die the Presi-
dent pro TEN. of the Senate will exercise
the functions of Governor.
1t is claimed by prominent local politi-
clans that while they do not entertain the
slightest doubt but that Governor Budd
will attempt to retain Jeter, nominations
for the position of Lieutenant-Governor
will be made on both tickets no matter
what action the executive may deem tit to

ROMA FROM SEATTLE
A Cowboys Reward for a He
roic Deed Performed Many
Years Ago.
How He Saved the Lives of the Wife
and Child of Cattle
Baron.

SEATTLE, WASH, March 12-Seattle
has romance in connection with James
Buchanan, Duwamish River fisherman,
formerly Texas cowboy, which rivals the
strangest tales of fiction.
BY the will of wealthy cattleman O
the Lone Star State Buchanan, who is how
en- route to Texas to claim legacy, is to
receive 900. This bequest was given in
recognition of the heroic services of the
ranger many years ago in saving the wife
and child OF the cattleman from drowning
in Texas river.
They were crossing bridge which
spanned the stream, some half mile in
length One section had been swept. out
by the high waters. The woman and child
were driving at a rapid pace toward the
break in the structure, while Buchanan on
his broncho approached from behind at
breakneck speed, giving warning of the
danger. His cries were unheeded and as
last resort, when within a reasonable dis
tance the cowboy threw a rope and lassoed
the team in time to prevent the wagon and,
its contents of humanity from pitching
headlong into the raging stream below.
For this service Buchanan was given a
cash reward at the time by the husband
of the woman whose life, with that of her
child, had been saved, and he thought no
more about the matter until he was noti-
fed few days ago, that he had been still
further reimbursed and to the extent of
$4,000.

This morning one of the men employed

with the intention of cutting through the

"Oh, no, you wouldn't replied the

No attempt was made to-day to do any
more blowing, but the property owners
have stationed an armed guard over the
roads, with instructions to stop any
attempt on the part of the mountain road
people to gain possession. The guard will
keep watch all night. A constable is also
on watch with the necessary papers to
serve on the men If they commence work at

thought that any violence will be re-

JAY GOULD AND HIS WIVES
Seattle Furnishes a Story on the
Dead Financier's Marital
Exploits.
Apropos of the Suit of a Woman
Claiming to Be the First Wife's
Daughter.

SEATTLE, WASH, March 12-Apropos
of the story going the rounds to the effect
that Jay Gould was twice married and
that an action had recently been begun
against the Gould estate by woman
claiming to be his daughter by the first
wife of the famous financier, Jason Gould
Corbin, a well-to-do farmer residing at
Auburn, King County, tells an interesting
tale.
Gould and Corbin, so the latter says,
were children together and grew up at
Roxbury, Delaware County, N. Y. Corbin
took his Christian names from Jason
Gould, an uncle of the late railroad mag
nate, and his aunt, according to the story
told became the second wife of John B.
Gould, Jay Gould's father.
That which retards the suit from recog-
milton by the executors of the Gould es-
tate, as alleged in the story published in the
latter part of February is the lack of proof
that Jay Gould and Jason Gould were the
same; and now comes Farmer Corbin,
who says:
81 do not know anything about Gould's
marriage to first wife; but do know
that Jay Gould and Jason Gould were one
and the same man. We were born at Rox-
bury, Delaware County, N. Y, and lived
on adjoining farms. His fathers name
was John B. Gould, who was afterward
married second time to my aunt. l was
named after a brother of John B. Gould,
who was great friend of our folks. Jay
was named after the same man, but he
was always called Jason in those days.
1--WE never exactly went to school to-
gether. Jason and /, but we grew up
together. l went to school just across the
ridge and Jason went to the other one.
He was few years younger than me, and
think he would be about 65 now if he
were alive. came West in '49, having
lost all track of Gould years before. We
were never good friends. | tell you he
was always rascal and ever looking for
some one to do up.
In the sixties I occasionally saw Gould,
and then he was known as Jay, instead of
Jason. He was then controlling the Erie
Railroad with Jim Fiske, and was a big
man. l lived on the line of the road at
this time.
II can swear Corbin said in conclu-
sion, that Jay Gould and Jason Gould
were one and the same man, but / don't
know anything about his first marriage,
for | must have been away then. Sarah
Brown was the maiden name of the alleged
first wife of Jaw Gould.o

talist, for $50, 600 damages for false impris-
onment, because Field caused her arrest

refused to pay some rent alleged to be due,
Field had her belongings attached She

THE SPANISH GIRL SHOOTER.
Maliie Moreno Tells H0.U She Killed TIL,
CkiueSe PeddIer.


Maliie Moreno Tells Ho.U She Killed the
Chinese PeddIer.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, March 12-The
Chinese vegetable peddIer killed in Sepul-
veda Canyon last evening was shot (acci-
dentally it is claimed) by Mallie Moreno, a
good looking Spanish girl about IS years
old.
The story of the shooting. as told at the
inquest to-day. was to the effect that the
Chinaman, who was on friendly terms
with the girl, complained to her that boy
had called him bad names. He said he
would kill the boy if he repeated the Of
fense and jestingly remarked to the GIRL
And me killee you, too. if you call me
such bad name"
The young woman, pretending to be
frightened at the threat, ran into the
house close by and reappeared with an old
army musket which she pointed at the
Chinaman and pulled the trigger. She
thought the gun VAS not loaded, but it
went off and the bullet narrowly missed
the girls s mother, who stood between her
and the Chinaman, and struck the latter
in the right side, killing him almost in
stantly. The girl. who was Mortified at her
act, gave herself up to Constable Roberts,
who still has her in custody.
The Coroner's jury returned an open
verdict, although the evidence tended to
show that the shooting was accidental, 1t
has not yet been decided whether Miss
Moreno will be prosecuted, although it is
probable a complaint charging murder or
manslaughter will be filed against her.

SAN RAFAEL,S LEADING QUESTION
Railroads Mast Reduce Their Rate of
fermentation.

Railroads Mast Reduce Their Rate of
Transportation.
SAN RAFAEL. CAL, March 12.-There
was but one subject of conversation IN San
Rafael yesterday, and that is about the
mass-meeting held Tuesday night to dis
cuss the question of obtaining lower trans
portatlon rates from the railroads.
While it is generally conceded that no
lower rates will be given, at least for the
present, it is said that the people are
satisfied with the results of the meeting,
for it has brought before the railroads
the feeling of the people of San
Rafael in regard to the important matter.
Every one is agreed that the town must
secure lower passenger rates before it can
hope to increase its population, and
committee of fifteen citizens will wait upon
the directors of the North Pacific Coast
Railroad and those of the San Francisco
and North Pacific Road, and request them
to consider the matter of increasing the
train service and lowering the passenger
and freight rates.
Until thlsaeommitte returns its report
nothinc can De done in the matter.
There are rumors of an opposition rail
road running ferry system TO san Quen-
tin, and train from there to San Ra ael,
but no one appears to know anything about
the matter, and little stock is placed in the
rumor.

LOWRY TRIAL
At Los ANGELES,
The Embezzlement Case Is
Finally Submitted to

Ex.County Clerk Ward Unmer-

BLAMED FOR THE DEFICIENCY.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, March 12.-The
case of ex-Deputy County Clerk Frank E.
Lowry, on. trial for embezzling public
moneys. was submitted to the jury this
afternoon. At IL P. NJ. no agreement had
been reached and the jury was locked up
for the night The chances are they will
not agree, but no Information from the in
side can be had tonight. The defense
stakes it's hopes on hung jury, and the
prosecution is not sanguine of convic-
ton.
Attorney E. A. Meserve, in his closing
argument for the defense, severely scored
ex-Countv Clerk T. H. Ward, now clerk of
the State Supreme Court. He admitted
that Lowry, who was Wards chief deputy,
fasiied his accounts, but said it was not
done to cover up any theft of his own, but
to shield the head of the Office, who was
aware there was deficit and was himself
responsible for it.
The only crime Lowry was guilty of was
loyalty to his friend and benefactor, who
was now letting him shoulder the entire
blame for the misconduct of the office
Meserve appealed to the jury not to make
a scapegoat of Lowry and punish him for
the misdeeds of others. Ward was the
person most culpable, and if the District
Attorney would perform his whole duty a
complaint would be filed against Ward be-
fore night.
Wards friends are indignant over the
attempt to shoulder the blame on him. A
good deal of feeling has been aroused over
the charges made by the defense. On the
other hand, Lowry has many sympa-
thizers on account of the good reputation
he has always borne and his general popu-
larity. Should Lowry be found guilty the
case will be appealed and new trial
asked for.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, March 12.-
Lieutenant J. NJ Hetherington, now at

has been detailed to take charge OF the
photographic office here. No officer has
been in charge since Lieutenant H. T.
Mayo was ordered to the Bennington over
year ago.

skipper at Hadlock, to which place she was
towed after six-day fumigation.
Officers of the revenue cutter Wolcott
report that the present winter is undoubt-
edly the most severe experienced in
Alaska since thirteen years ago. During
the months OF January and February the
mercury was never above zero. and at both
Sltka and Juneau snow fell almost con-
tinuously during that time.
There was a big auction sale here this
afternoon at the Custom-house of contra
band goods seized by inspectors during
the last two months. Everything went
cheap, except opium, which brought $40
pound. The same brand has been sold
here after importation for 80, and the sale
indicates that opium smuggling is no
longer successful on Puget Sound. The
buyer to-day was the famous Seidback of
Portland, who was last year fined 5000 for
completely with the Mulkey Dunbar snug
