A VICIOUS BRUTE.
How Tom Curly Distinguished Him

How Tom Curly Distinguished Him
self Last Evening.
A tough who says his name is Tom
Curly is locked up in the City Jail, but
on just what charge he will be tried it
is difficult to say. He ought to be
charged with petit larceny, murderous
assault, using obscene language, resist
ing officers and threats against life,
any or all of which, it would seem.
could be made to stick.
Curly went into Frank Moore's Pull
man Saloon on K street, near Third,
last night, and stole hammer. Moore
followed him out and undertook to hold
him until an officer would come along.
Curly, who is vicious fellow and
tough as a pine knot, knocked Moore
down, however, and then kicked him
about the face and head until his vic
tim was cut and bleeding from the
crown of his head to his chin. He then
made his escape.
Moore had his cuts sewed up and
dressed, and in the meantime Officers
Bagley and Douglas went in search OF
Curly They got sight of him on the
sidewalk in front of the Palace Saloon,
a short distance from where he as
saulted Moore, but a bystander told him
the officers were coming and he made
a dash to get inside the saloon.
Bagley got hold of him, but he broke
loose and got inside, where the officers
again nailed him. Curly fought like a
wild beast, and in the struggle Bagley
tripped on spittoon and fell to the
floor, but held to his man. Curly was
fighting for all that was in him when
Douglas got there, but the latter gave
him a few cracks on the head with his
pistol and made him quiet.
Then the fellow turned his tongue
loose and applied to Douglas all the
vile epithets in his well-stocked vocab-
ulary. which had evidently been gath
cred about the slums of lower L street.
He told Douglas that as soon as he got
out of jail he would kill him, and this
threat he repeated several times.
Even after the officers got handcuffs
on him he cursed them and again as
saulted Bagley, but he was finally sub
dued and carted off to Jail.
Douglas arrested this fellow Curly
last year for robbing a man, but his
victim failed to appear against him
and he was released. He evidently
has it in for the officer.

IMPORTANT CAPTURE.
A Man Who 1t is Believed Murdered a
Mexican Under Arrest.

Mexican Under Arrest.
SANTA ANA, Jan. 20.-Sheriff Mich
OILS of this county made an important
capture at Los Angeles Saturday night
Or the night of October II, 1894, a
Mexican named Mariana Cuero was
murdered on a vacant lot at the corner
of Fourth and Birch streets, in this
city. He lived several hours after he
had been attacked, but could give no
information to aid in Identifying the
assassin other than that his assailant
was an American.
Two brothers named Gleason, tourists
from st. Louis, were eye witnesses of
the affair, and got a view of the MUIR
derer. They returned home, and Sheriff
Nichols, who was City Marshal at the
Time learning of their knowledge of the
crime, corresponded with them in re-
gard to it for some months. The Glea-
sons returned to Los Angeles this win
ter, and the Sheriff, through their aid,
located the murderer of Cuero in that
city He is c.. G. Southern, former
resident of Newport, where he farmed
rented land. He was arrested Satur-
day night and brought here tonight
and lodged in jail, awaiting preliminary
examination.

FIELD TRIALS.
Excellent Sport on the Opening Day at
Bakersfield.

EAc01leul Sport OH OIl0 opening Ody at
Bakersfield.
BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 20-This was
the first day of the Pacific Coast field
trials. The attendance was not large
on account of the weather, but the
sport was excellent. Some difficulty
was experienced in the heavy cover,
and the probabilities are that the scene
of operations will be transferred from
the Stockdale ranch to the McClung
ranch, farther from town, which is
more open.
1t was decided to have the derby
first and at 1915 A. B. Truman's S
Irish setter, Young Dick, and E. F..
Northam's black pointer Black Beauty
were turned loose. At 1850 they were
called in. Under the system of judging
adopted by the club, it is not known
who wins until after the conclusion of
the entire match, consequently as the
derby was not finished to-day it is
impossible to give the winners names.
The second brace of dogs was put
down at lilo O'Clock and taken up at
11:25, when there was a stop for lunch.
They were John Schumacher's English
setter Rowena and j. w. Keane's Eng
lish setter San Carlos.
Sport was resumed at lilo, and the
second heat closed at 1:45. r. K.

when a heavy rainfall put an end to the

If the weather is fair, tomorrow will
close the derby and on Wednesday the
all-age stake will come up.
The judges to-day Were c. n. Post of
Sacramento, d. M. Pyle of Bakersfield
and Andrew jackson of Napa.

OUR RAILROADS.
They Are the Best in the World To-
day.


There is a tradition that English rail-
roads are better built than ours as to
roadbeds, bridges, trestles and all else
that goes to constitute structure. There
was a time when this was true, but
there is reason to believe that it is not
true now, so far at least as our great
trunk lines are concerned.
For several years two of the trunk
lines have been running heavy trains
heavier than any ever operated in
EngIand-from New York to Chicago
in twenty-three hours; two have been
operating five-hour trains from New
York to Washington, and there are now
two lines whose trains run from New
York to Boston in five hours.
Apart from this long continued serv-
ice the New York Central and Hudson
River Railroad has broken the world S
record for speed, not only upon one
part of its line but throughout it's great
length. The Empire State express be-
tween this city and Buffalo has been
for a year the fastest train in the world,
running regularly every day and max
ing it's long runsson time without ac-
cident Now a Lake Shore train has
run from Chicago to Buffalo at a speed
of considerably more than sixty miles
an hour. or faster than any other train
in the world was ever run for so great
a distance.
Cutsidt of England there is no rail-
road in Europe that has ever attempted
the sreed of any of these trains, and the
last one mentioned has broken the best
English record, though that record was
made with very light train where ours
are very heavy.
High speed is not made day after day
without accident except upon roads as
perfectly built as roads can be. If it is
true, therefore, that our best roads cost
less to build than the best roads in
England, it can only mean that we have
learned how to construct the best of
railroads at less cost than our English
cousins have done. Obviously it does
not mean that our best roads are in any
respect inferior to the best in England.
The smaller cost is due to Yankee in
genuity, to the abundance of material
and to superior capacity of American
worlmen.-New York World.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
The Upward Tendency Ina Produce
Did Not Helm Them

NEW YORK Oct. 17.-Tobacco practically
constituted today's stock market in point OF
activity and made sensational extreme
break of tx per cent to 69A after an early
improvement of a point. While the long con-
tinued rise in the stock has been accompanied
by a number of vague rumors of bullish
character, including suggestions of future
favorable action in regard to dividends, and
more recently by reports of an impending
absorption of the plants of the more important
concerns opposed to the American Tobacco
company, the decline today caused only Ian
guild interest on the part Of the financial COM
munity at large. The slump in the mereurial
speciality referred to failed to seriously affect
the general list. which displayed decided
strength during the first hour, despite the
unfavorahle statement of the st. Paul for the
second week Of October showing a decrease
of 500. 900 The grangers and some of the in
dustrials were in moderate request Bay
State Gas rose ia and Consolidated Gas / per
cent.
The publication of the statement of aver
ages of the associated banks however gave
the entire market a chill. although the selling
that ensued was considered to be more large
ly for short account. The loss shown in the
legal reserve of 1855, 100 and other unfayor-
able items reflected the activity of money in
the crop movement and to less extent the
tinidity in some quarters regarding the i'm
mediate financial outlook. The early improve
ments were lest and the market closed weak
at rnimportant net changes.
The market during the week displayed con-
siderable irregularity, chiefly on professional
operations. The course CT prices reflected
successive alternate movements. A notable
reason for the lightysaies OF actual stocks was
the publication Of the foreign trade state
mcnt for September. showing a marked bal
ance in favor of this country. Money on call
touched 10 per cent with the bulk of loans
however, slightly above the legal per cent
rate. In some instances short time money
loaned at 10 per cent An upward movement
in the stock market was eventually checked
