BLANCHARD'S BAD BREAK
Two Working Ranch Hands Ar
rested on Felony Charge
Were Accused of Having Burglars Tools in
Their Pos ession, but Search Brings
to Light a Jackknife

City Marshal Blanchard of Redondo
Beach has arrested two Woodworking ranch
hands, Henry Davis and E. Z. Hannum, on
charge OF having burglars tools in their
possession. Davis ana Hannum are in the
employ of Rancher Luznger, who has
place five and one-half miles from Re-
dondo. Owing to the rain stopping their
farm work they went to Redondo to fish
On their way back Blanchard came Upon
them and said: "You are under arrest.''
One man said: "Show us your warrant
AT rhis Blanchard drew his revolver and
said: "Ibis ia warrant enough.''
He then marched his prisoners to Redon-
do and swore out a warrant charging them
with having burglars tools in their pos
session. He never searched them, but
haudcuffed them and brought them to the
county Jail. Here they were searched but no
burg lars tools were found in their possess
sion. The only thing they had was jack
knife. A brother.in-law of one of the mon
came to the Jail and offered to bail both
Davis and Hannum out. but as no amount
of bail was fixed in the commitment, he
could do nothing Both men spent the
night in Jail and yesterday morning were
taken back to Redondo.
The authorities at the jail and the sheriff
denounce the action OF Blanchard in this
case as an unparalleled outrage. Bianch-
ard has never yet brought a prisoner to the
county Jail on felony charge who has
been convicted

THEY SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

Allen was highly complimented on his ex-
hibit. The pouters also came in for their
share of attention. This variety gains It's
name from its queer power OF initiating its
crop until it sticks out like a balloon. The
bird does this voluntarily, when struttng
about it's loft, but they can be blown up
artificially, as it were. by opening their
bills and blowing down their throats, on
exactly the same principle as tho small
boy blows up rubber balloon. The
tumblers, too, caused much amusement,
when they were taken from their coops
and made to perform their gymnastic
feats. These birds canno fly more than a
few feet, but have the faculty OF turning
somersaul like a professional acrobat,
keeping up this amusement for hours at a
time. The homers are also beautiful birds,
very symmetrical, and nicely colored.
All of the awards were made last even
ing, except in the cases of few hens, in
which the scores had not been figured out.

Many unusual cases and hoades of
strange people are brought to light in the

heard yesterday by Judge Owens, 1t was
at he trial of John Gilmore, charged with
petty larceny. Gilmore is an old soldier,
and wears his uniform of blue here with as
much gusto as when he was numbered
among the residents of San Francisco.
Yesterday he stole an overcoat, valued at
about $3.50, and was arrested by Officer
Vignes. When asked by Justice Owens if
he were guilty or not, Gilmore arose and
astonished his hearers by asking to be sent
10 the penitentary.
'My God, your honor!" he said: ''yes,

RESIDENCE BURNED
Supposed to Have Originated in a Gasoline
Stove Explosion

Stove Explosion
The residence of Mrs. McEfresh, on
Twepty-ffth street. near its eastern boun-
Diary, was destroyed by fire about O. o'clock
yesterday morning. The loss was in the
neighborhood of 500, with no insurance.
Mr.. Kowalska, a harnessnaker, occupied
the building and lost several new sets of
harness. The fire is supposed to have
originated from a gasoline explosion. A
young man who was stopping in the house
with Mr.. Kowalska had gone to the stable
to attend to horse and left the gasoline
stove burning, and no one in the house.
When neighbor saw the fire it had made
considerable headway.
The chemical engine arrived some time
before the other engine, but those who had
it in charge did not know how to operate it,
it is said, and it remained idle until Ed
Smith arrived. Ed turned the fluid on, but
in the meantime the house had burned to

FAOs IN MEDICINE.

There are fads In medicine as in every
thing else and "new thing" frequently
sells for short time simply because It
Is new. But In medicine, as In nothing
else, the people demand and will be
satisfied only with positive, absolute
merit. The fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
has stood Its ground against all compe-
but have remained steadily at the top,
demonstrates, beyond any doubt, the In
trinsic virtues Of this medicine. The
new things have come and gone but
Hoods Sarsaparilla rests upon the solid
foundation Of absolute merit and ita
power to cure, and It's sales continue TO
be the largest In the world.
