A BOTANICAL CRANK
John Halnes Buys Flowers and Shrubs at II
Early Hour

John Hoines Buys Flowers and Shrubs at an
Early Hour
For four months past the residents In
the vicinity of Washington street and
Central avenue have been having their
gardens and yards Systematically robbed
of valuable shrubs, saplings and choice
specimens of flowers, but all efforts made
to catch the thief We're unavailing.
This morning, at o'clock, Mounted
named John Haines, on Central avenue,
having in his possession young orna
mental tree of some kind, with roots and
loan intact, just as 1t had been lifted
from the pot, and two choice specimens
OF rose bushes, which had been carefully
uprooted from the soil.
Haines told gauzy story about meet
ing man on the street few minutes
.petore being arrested, who wanted to
borrow 81. The stranger had the plants
ana gave them to Haines in return for
the loan OF the money. This tale would
not wash with the officer, so he sent
Haines to the central station, where he
was locked up. No charge was placed
against his name, but the antecedents
OF the plants he was carrying will be
looked up, and it is thought that they
Will be found to have been stolen.
Haines is a man of some means and
owns his own dwelling in the neighbor.

stoutly protests his innocence but the
police are inclined to believe that the
uepredator of lawns and gardens is at
last in the tolls.

Inhuman Brutes Tie q Cow on a
Railroad Trestle
BUT THE PLOT MISCARRlES
The Animal Mangled and the Train
Passes Safely Over
A Hunter Finds the Bleeding Carcass and
Gives the Aiarm-Det.ctives Look
ing for the Miscreants

What bears every evidence of das-
tardly attempt at train wrecking was
perpetrated some time during last Thurs
day night and only discovered acciden-
tally Friday morning, after the train it
was intended to derail had passed the
spot, and by some fortuitous chance
escaped the fate mapped out for it.
James e. Young is a student of the
high school, and long before daylight
Friday took his shotgun and strated out
along the willows that line the river
bed to look for rabbits. He proceeded
along the north shore of the stream
and had reached a treste of the South
ern Pacific on the main line north,
when his attention was drawn by what
seemed to be the means of an animal in
pain. Looking about he espied the form
of COW lying almost under the trestle
work, from which it had evidently been
thrown by passing train.
The poor beast was badly mangled,
one Of it's limbs being torn completely
Off and was suffering intensely. Young
made an investigation and mounted to
the top of the trestle. There he found ev-
idence that the COW had not merely
wandered onto the bridge and been
struck. as fastened to the ties was one
end of the picket rope, and the missing
leg lay alongside the rails, which were
spattered with the animals blood.
He went for assistance and to get some
one to put the animal out of It's misery,
but no one in the vicinity cared to mix
UP in the matter. No one knew to whom
the COW belonged, and she was evidently
brought from some distance and tied
securely on the trestle, in the hope that
the first passing train would be derailed
and thrown from the bridge. Just what
train it was aimed to wreck is not known,
but probably the San Francisco express,
which leaves this city at 10:45.
The police authorities were notified
and detectives at once put on the trail,
following up every clew That the af-
fair is considered to have been an at
tempt at derailment is shown by the ac-
lions of the officers, who have main
tanned the strictest secrecy in regard to
the matter, in the hope of apprehending
the culprits before they have taken the
alarm and flown.

Los Angeles. California.
SIT; am In receipt by reference from
me department of your letter dated June
H. 1893, requesting information in regard
TO purchasing or renting San Clemente
ISLAND, situate off the coast of California
In reply have to state that said island IS
reserved for lighthouse purposes and is
therefore, not subject to disposal. This
Veyed or unsurveyed land.
Very respectfully.
(Signed) s. w. LAMOREAUX,
Commissioner.
Judge S. C. Hubbell is one of the
sheep syndicate. which includes some of
the wealthiest men of the city, and he
was asked about his right to the is
land Yesterday, but was rather reti-
cent. He denied having any lease of the
Island or any title to it, but said that
they had their sheep there by a right
that they had purchased from sheep
owners who preceded them. and while
not saying so gave the reporter the i'm
preston that the company had some
sort Of right which he did not feel
like discussing.
He admitted having 5000 sheep there
but declined to go into the details of the
profits derived from them. In fact,very
little light on the matter was obtained
from Mr.. HubbeIl. except a denial Of
rumor that the company intended to
make summer resort out of the is,
land, which he laughed at as absurd, as
the place Is too barren and not supplied
with enough water
The facts are, then, that a private
company has been allowed the valuable
right of making a sheep ranch out of
the island. keeping its employees there,
monopolizing the feed and making pre-
sumably thousands Of dollars year out
of 1t, without paying anything for It, as
the above letters plainly say that the is
land cannot be rented. There are
number of people who would like to
know how the matter has been ar
ranged with the federal authorities, If
they have been, and If there is no I'M
derstanding between the companq and
the department officials, have the latter
been aware of the use that is being
made of the property?

Grow Out of the Strike at
Cleveland
A STRIKER SHOT AND KILLED
While Throwing Bricks a. the Non.
Union Workmsa
A Bitter Struggle Is Certain snd Q SYM
pathic Strike ProbnbIe.-Ail Union
Men VIII Be Assessed
Associated Press Special Wire.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 1.-The re-
newal of the strike at Brown hoisting
works resulted in bloodshed today. The
trouble began early in the morning
when a mob surrounded the house of
one of the non-union workmen and
bombarded 1t with stones and bricks,
breaking the windows and even smash
ing the weatherboards. The police, hear
ing of this trouble, prepared for an at
tack at noon IL the non-union men
should be dismissed from work. A
party of these workmen, disregarding
the efforts of the police to protect them,
started to walk away from the works.
They had not gone far when they were
met by mob. First the rioters began
to shout at the -unionists and to
throw stones. And then the working
men drew revolvers and began shooting
at the crowd Several shots were fired,
but only one took effect John Prnz. "a
foundrymen, fell to the pavement, shot
through the body. and was taken to the
hospital. Soon after the shooting the
police arrived on the scene, but the mob
had disappeared and all was quiet. This
outbreak resulted in the calling out of
two companies of militia and by the mid
die of the afternoon eighty policemen
Ia addition to the military had been
massed in the vicinity of the Brown
works No more trouble occurred.
1t is thought that a long and bitter
struggle will ensue. The manager of
Brown works says the agreement for
the settlement of the strike was well I'M
derstood by the representatives of the
strikers and the company stood ready
to live up to it's terms. The violation of
the agreement by the men, he says,
absolves the company from any further
consideration of them and enables it to
begin all over again on a new basis. This
Is taken to mean that the company
will proceed to hire new men.
1t Is very probable that the Central
Labor union will order big sympathe-
tic strike throughout the city at the next
meeting of the Central Labor union
Today the executive committee of the
striking Brown hosting men and labor
leaders of the union met in conference
and decided that a sympathetic strike
was necessary.
The committee appointed by the Cen
trail Labor union to report on the advis-
ability of sympathetic strike just be-
fore the supposed settlement of the
Brown strike, reported favorably.

San Clemente Island MOnopOl.
lied by a Rich Syndicate
A LIGHTHOUSE RESERVATION
But Still II Is Uned As q Sheep Ranch
Without Authority
Some Inside Facts That Are Now Coming
Out and That VIII Lead to an
Investigation

The United States government has
of late been very energetic in dispossess-
ing squatters on lighthouse reserva-
tions. and in claiming all of its rights
on the coast islands, excepting one, San
Clemente, which lies out in the Pacific,
west and south of Santa Catalina.
A poor devil of Mexican who had
built a hut on Whalers' island, in San
Luis bay. was recently evicted by Mar
shall Covarrubias on orders from Wash
ington, though there is no intention Of
building lighthouse there. And an ex-
petition was a few weeks ago sent to
take possession of San Nicolas.
These actions have aroused interest in
San Clemente and it's being used by a
syndicate of rich people as a sheep ranch
The advantages of the island for this
purpose are obvious The sheep need
no herders. as they are fenced in by the
ocean; the wild grass feed costs nothing.
for it belongs to Uncle Sam, and all the
sheep owners have to do is to send
shearers over once year and bring in
the clip of wool. The sheep breed rap
idly and occasionally some have to be
brought over to the mainland in order
to keep the island from being overcrowd-
ed, the sole of this surplus stock being
another source of revenue.
So it will be seen that the use of the
island is very valuable privilege, one
that many sheep owners would be will
ling to pay literally for, but for some
occult reason, while the syndicate's
sheep are never bothered, nor it's care
takers evicted, no one else can get per-
mission to use the island nor can it be
rented, leased or purchased. The inva-
riable answer to all such offers coming
from the treasury department and inte-
rior department is to the effect that he
island Is lighthouse reservation, and
is mot subject to disposal
The following are copies of letters re-
ceived by citizens here in answer to
questions about securing the use of the
island which indicate one of two things
either that the departments do not
know that the island is occupied by
private company, or, knowing this, will
fully assist in keeping others out. The
letters, excepting the name of the recip-
lent, are as follows:
