Leroy T. Carleton of Winthrop was
swapping yarns with Capt. Sargent the
other day, says the Lewiston Journal
Now just for a moment 1 want YOU 10
listen to a true story" said he. II can
spin a yarn on great occasions but this is
gospel. While i was a boy we lived up in
the town of Phillips, pretty we'll over to
Weldline, under the lea of the old Blue.
Just to the west of our house was the val
ley leading up to the notch in the noun
tain range. This valley was a regular
thoroughfare for wild geese going north
in the spring and going south in the fall.
We used to shoot quantities of them; in
fact, one fall 1 alone shot-but as this is
a true story Wen let that pass
In the fall we have very sudden changes
of temperature, and when a chill north
wester set in there was a sudden and
alarming drop in the mercury. One night
heard a great 'honking' down on a mud
pond near the house. Once or twice I
heard 1t in the night. Next morning II was
freezing cold and these geese were still
making a racket.
My brother and I took our guns and
went down. Creeping up cautiously we
fired. Two birds tumbled over but the rest
only squawked the louded but never NOV
ed. Going down on the shore we found
that sudden drop in the temperature had
frozen a whole flock into the mud around
the shore. All we had to do was to go I'M
and knock them on the head.

THIRTY YEARS IN FOLSOM
Robber Callendine of Sacramento
Is Now Known Only as :.
mo. 1886" :.
Still Smiling as Throughout His
Trial He Enters the
Prisons Gates.

SACRAMENTO. CAL, Aug. LII. L.
Callendine, the leader of the gang that
robbed the railway car harm six months
ago, was brought before Judge Hinkson at
10 o clock this morning and sentenced to
the State prison. at Folsom for period OF
thirty years. Before pronounelng sen;
teEce, Judge Hinkson administered a
severe lecture to Caliendine, in which he
said:
81 believe that when you presented your
gun at those meA at the street-car barn on
the hight before Christmas that you
would have taken their lives had they
made show of resistance. belieye that,
young though you are. your liberty is a
menace to the public, Throughout these
whole proceedings you have shown no
sign ofsregret for what you have done, and
believe that were you to go free to-mor-
row you would again enter upon crimi-
nal careeg.a =
During the morning hours preceding
MS sentence the prisoner was very i'll, and
when he appeared in the courtroom he
was pale and wan. bat he never for a mo-
ment lost ibis air of utter indifference. ana
received his sentence with the cynical
smile with which be has observed the en-
tire proceedings of the trial.
Sheriff Johnson lost no time in hurrying
his prisoner to Warden Auil's caravan
sary, and although during the entire trip
Cailendine experienced returns of the sick
spells OF the morning he remained defiant
to the last and wore the same old smile as
the huge iron doors of the prison clanked
behind him. No. 1886, as he will be known

Citizens Demand the Rebuilding
of a: Temecula Canyon
Railway.
Land Given to Secure the Line Is
Now Held by Town.Site
:: Company.

SAN DIEGO. CAL, Aug. 1.-The State
Board of Railroad Commissioners began q
session here to-day to. in4ire into the
complaint OF the Property owners Uuion
for the rebuilding of the Southern Cali
fornia Railroad Companv's washed-out
lire through Temecula Canyon, to connect
San Diego with San Bernardino and the
Atlantic and Pacific. Delegations from
points were on hand to testify as to the
harm done by the cessation of railreading
through the canyon
They declared that the bulk OF the
trade of Southern Riverside and Northern
San Diego Counties now went TO Los An
geles and other towns, instead of TO San
Diego, while passenger traffic was greatly
impeded. The railroad company. on the
other hand. alleged that the line through
the canyon is impracticable; and that it
has been washed ont twice by floods. The
people OF that section are served, it de-
claTed, by the present read via South
Riverside and Santa Ana. and it insisted
that rates to and from San Drego and
those points were the same as before.
During the afternoon witnesses went
upon the stand and brought out the real
grievance OF this city against the Santa re
system. The principal witness, Warren
{. kimbail, told the story. He testified
to having gwen 10000 acres OF land, in
company with his brother Frank, to Sc
cure the building OF the line from San
Diego 10 connect with the Atlantic and
Pacific at Barstow.
He. said the men who got the land
Organized the railroad company and par
italy constructed it and then organized
the San Diego Land and Town Company
and transferred the land to it instead of
the railroad. The agreement was to
maintain repair-skops. roundhouses. etc,
at National City. After the railroad was
nardino, and when the Temecula Canyon
line was washed out the compaRy refused
10 rebuild 1t, leaving San Diego in the
position OF being feeder TO Los Angeles.
There is nothing to show that the rail-
road company proper got the land subsidy,

Town Company, "a wheel within wheel, -
as Mr.. XimbaIl put it, enjoyed the benefir
of the peoples generosity. The stockhold-
ers of the Santa Fe and the Land and

To these. contentious the railroad COM
pany replied thatit never received a dol
lar from the city of San Diego and Kim
ball Brothers, and that il was not respon-
sible for what the Land and Town Com
psny did, or for the acts of the promoters
OF either company.
The case is being bitterly fought and
volumes of old records were produced to-
day. The commission adjourned until
Monday and it is probable that several
days viii be consumed in the hearing.
