PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 18.-Detective
f. l.. Loose of New Orleans passed through
ere last evening from the Ceur d'Alene
country, having in charge Emil LeviIle, a
young man belonging to one OF the oldest
families in the Crescent City, where he is
wanted for two serious crimes. This off.
Ger has been on Leville's tracks since the
latter part of July, tracing him from point
to point until last Monday, when he loca-
ted Leville about two miles from Murray,
working with some prospectors who were
ignorant of his antecedents.
Leville is not more than % years of age,
but if he is guilty of the offenses charged
to him he Is monstrous criminal De-
tective Loose said that in January last his
prisoner married an accomplished and
beautiful young woman living about
seventy-hve miles south of New Orleans

Leville returned to New Orleans.
A few days later his relatives vera
startled by tue disclosure OF forgery by
him OF his fathers name for $4,000. This
forgery was in the form of note, which
the young man vainly hoped to take up
on the date OF its maturity by means of q
cotton deal he was engineering
The elder Leviile settled the matter: a
truce was patched up between the sepa-
rated couple and Emil went to live with
his wIfe's people. Their relations were
more pleasant than during the earlier
days of their marriage, but in June last

Smashes a Window and SEXES
Trays of Gems Displayed
Within.
TR1PPED AND MADE CAPTIVE.
Diamonds, Emeralds and Topazes
Snatched Up by a Crowd of
Spectators.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 18.-One of
the most daring attempts at robbery
planned in this city for years was made
this evening, and several people are the
possessors of diamond, emerald or topaz
rings which cost them only the trouble of
picking them up from the gutter, while
the wouid-be thief is an occupant of one
of the City Prison cells with q badly
lacerated hand and wrist.
AS A. Gerlsch, manager in T. Wach-
horsts jewelry-store on street. between
Third and Fourth, was engaged in remov-
ing the trays of diamonds and other Jew
els from the sbow-window shortly after
O'Clock man hurled 15-pound cobble-
stone through the plate-glass win
dow, SCATTERING it from top to bottom.
He then reached in and caught up a tray
of rings. Gerlach seized a light cane and
struck the robber over the head, swapping
the frail stick in two. Without needing
the blow the thief started to run up J
street toward Fourth.
The crashing OF the splintered glass
drew the attention of all the pedestrians
in sight, and as the thief ran by Hogan's
restaurant few doors above the jewelry-
store, William Hogan, who was standing
in the doorway, threw out his loot and
trlpped the runner. He fell to the side
walk, scattering the gems in all directions.
Without attempting to gather his plumber
he sprang to his feet and ran across the
street. He was captured by E. F. Forean
and Howard Cook, who conveyed him to
the police station, where he gave the
name of Frank Holden and was placed
under lock and key.
Holden is q stranger to the members of
the police force, but has been seen around
the racetrack for the past two weeks. He
was evidently rendered desperate by ILL
luck in guessing the wrong horse.
AS soon as his capture was effected the
crowd began search for the scattered
piunder, with the result that but nine
rings out of the thirty five that had filed
the tray were recovered, the rest having
mysteriously disappeared. Wachhorst
states that the tray of rings was worth
about $1,000, and that his loss is at least
$l5OU. Three years ago a similar attempt
was made on the same establishment and
at that time the robbers captured nearly
$4,000 worth of jewelry, which was never
recovered.
The police have learned that, during the
grapple with the robber, g man and a
woman who were passing the spot picked
up the tray and many of the rings and
disappeared. 1t is not believed that they
were confederates OF the robber, but
rather that they will either hold out for a
reward or dispose of them on their own
account. Later a man entered the West
ern Union Telegraph Office and endeav-
ored 10 pawn new diamond ring for So
but was unsuccessful.

MONTEREY, CAL, Sept. Point
Lobos, eleven miles from this place down
the coast, is noted for its peculiar forma-
ton of rocks, picturesque scenery and its
fine hunting-grounds. After the famous
seventeen-mile drive it is the chief point
of interest to all tourists who visit Rotel
del Monte, Monterey and Pacific Grove.
It overlooks the old Carmel Mission.
founded in ITO by Padre Junipero ser1a.
Some of the oldest Indian families liveing
hereabout have horror of this point, and
say that it is hoodooed, especially on GER
tain days IN the year, and that if any one
visits the place on these days some mis-
fortune will befall him. However true
the prophesies of these old Indians m ay
be many accidents have occurred there,
and always on these particular days. The
last "hoodoo" time was only day or two
ago, and the person that came under its
influence was f. B. Evans, young man
in the employ of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s ex-
press as shipping agent at San Francisco.
Evans was here enjoying his annual
vacation IN hunting and fishing. He met

SAN JOSE JURORS
FIX THE PENALTY
Allender Will Hang for
the Killing of Miss
Feilner.
FIRST DEGREE MURDER.
The Twelve Jurors Arrive at a
Verdict After Two Hours
Deliberation.
GOODNESS OF THE CONDEMNED.
Declares He Was Railroaded TO
Death by Means of False
Testimony.
GOODNESS OF THE CONDEMNED.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 1s.-Harvey Al
lender will hang for the murder of Miss
Walburga Feilner. That was virtually the
verdict returned by the jury this after
noon and unless the Supreme Court inter-
feres the sentence will be executed.
At the opening of court this morning
District Attorney Harrington commenced
his argument to the jury, which lasted
until noon. Judge Lorigan then charged
the jury and at 1925 it retired to deliberate
upon verdict. At 2:30-after two hours
deliberation-the jurors came into court.
The courtroom was crowded to the doors
and many were unable to gain admission.
The verdict of the jury was greeted with
applause. 1t was, I'VE the jury find
Harvey Allendel guilty of murder in the
first degree, as charged in the informa-
ton"
Allender was unaffected by the verdict
and during the reading of it his face
maintained that stolid look that has char
acterized him during the trial. The jury
was polled and each man answered in the
affirmative. Judge Lorigan set next Fri
day for passing sentence.
The crime of which Allender was con-
victed was a cold blooded and premedi-
tated one. On Sunday afternoon, August
., ne m0L MISS Sllu6T anu N6ndnZ
Crosetti, to whom the girl was engaged,
walking along Third street, between Santa
Clara and st. John, and shot and killed
them both. Allender rode up to the
young couple on a bicycle, and after say
ing few words to Miss Feilner drew q
revolver and shot her through the heart.
As she fell Crosetti jumped for Aliender,
and the latter shot him. Crosetti fell,
and then rot up and ran across the street
to the Empire engine-house, where he
fell and died almost instantly. Allender
then walked up to Miss Feilner's body
and fired couple of shots into il. With
a theatrical display he then placed the
pistol to his head and fired, the bullet GO
ing through the rim OF his hat. He
dropped as though shot and lay as dead
until taken to the Receiving Hospital.
When the City Physician ordered Allen
der's clothes removed to search for a
wound, Allender jumped up, saying. "If
there isn't wound in my head, you need
look no further The murderer was then
locked up in prison. 1t is supposed Allen
der feigned death for fear the mob, which
quickly gathered at the scene of the shoot
ing, would avenge his victims death.
While being locked up after the render
ing of the verdict, Allender complained
OF being ''railroaded to DEATH" and that
most Of the testimony given was false"
The verdict meets public approval.

Los ANGELES EXPOSURE
Interior Department Accused of
Aiding the Southern
Pacific.
Lending No Support to the Govern,
ment in Prosecution of Land
Cases
Los ANGELES OFFICE OF THE CALL, }
1913 South Broadway.
Los ANGELES, Cal, Sept. IS. !


The few persons who were in attendance
at session of the United States Circuit
Court in this city to-day listened TO a very
spirited controversy between J. H. Call,
special Government counsel in a suit
against the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company affecting its title to large mold
ings of land in this State, and William
Singer Jr. of counsel for the road. This
was the day set to hear argument in this
important case, in which about 5000, 600
acres are involved.
When the case was called Singer asked
for continuance, and in support of his
request said that the bill of complaint, as
filed by Call, covered much more land
than had been considered in the answer.
He said he was in possession of CORE
spondence from the Interior Department
that justified him in the belief that the
Department of Justice contemplated an
early dismissal of the case. He was going
on to read certified copy of a letter from
the Interior Department purporting to
give the facts of the litigation, prefacing
it by saying that it made some reflections
on Call, which he declined to read,
Call interrupted Singer and objected to
the reading OF this CORES pondence claim
ing that the Interior Department had
nothing to do with the case. After en-
tering in detail upon the attitude of the
Interior Department in the land-grant
litigation. Call stated that that depart
ment had not lent its active support to
the Government in the prosecution OF the
suits. 1t had, even while this suit was
pending, issued patents to some of the
very lands in controversy. The case, he
said, might long ago have been disposed
of if the Government had not been met
with delays atevery stage. The Attorney
General had Instructed him 10 submit to
no further delays, but prosecute the case
10 finish.
Judge Ross ruled that he could take no
notice of the correspondence. Here was
a suit brought by the authorized counsel
for the Government, who stated that his
instructions were to prosecute it. He GER
tainly was entitled to recognition to bring
the suit and have his averments passed
upon. He denied the motion of counsel
for continuance and directed the argu-
ments to proceed.
Call opened the argument on behalf OF
the Government ana presented the case
deliberately this afternoon.

regularly in the clubrooms in Harris

Much interest is being manifested by the

paign OF education well organized and
efficient club, such as this one, can accom-
plish much for the cause of protection,
patriotism and sound money.
This is the largest political club ever
organized in Tulare, now numbering 225
members, every one of whom will not
only vote but work for Mckinley and the
Republican ticket. They are being openly
assisted by prominent Democrats, who
have signed the roll, burning political
bridges behind them. a number of Popu-
