THE HERALD'S X-RAYS

At the exhibition Of The Herald's X
ray machine in DR.. Yoakum's office yes
terday spectators were astounded while
looking at the hand of Mrs. Murray of
Temple street to see plainly depicted
therein a steel needle. Hr hand ex-
ternally presents the appearance of a
perfectly healthy member. Indeed, it
is shapely and artistic hand, and no
one could possibly imagine from its ex-
ternal appearance that miniature bar
of steel had been imbedded in 1t for an
unknown period.
The needle lies almost exactly in the
middle of the palm, somewhat transvers-
ly of the phalanges of second and third
fingers, between the knuckles and the
metacarpal bones, and does not pene-
trate the outer skin at any point. 1t was
an astounding revelation to it's owner,
and all who saw it.
After looking through a half-inch
board for awhile call was made for
purses. Dr. Fishers purse, subjected
to the searching rays revealed fortune
consisting of two door keys.
A broken bone in w. S. Abbots hand
showed an awkward setting and a bent
and splintered healing of the bone, which
had bothered it's owner in rheumatic
weather" in way hitherto unexplained.
Various other expositions of hidden
mysteries proved a wonder to those

THE HONEST ITALIANS.

"The Italians are an honest race" said
the business man, land they can usually
be depended on to pay their bills with
promptness. have friend in Atlantic
city who says he has all the business
of the italian corner stand men in the
place. 1t happened in this way: An
italian came into the office few years
ago and said that he wanted to build a
stand to go into business, but that he
had no money for the lumber. If they
would let him have it he would pay them
as soon as he could. 1t happened that
he came in on dull day and found ev-
eryone in good humor. 1t was simply
for that reason that they let him have
the lumber, without thinking very mucn
of the return. The man came back to
them in a short time and paid his bill
Now every Italian who comes to town
is sent by his friends to them as the
place where he can get his lumber on
credit. They have never had man who
failed to pay."-New York Times.

COOPER HAS BEEN CAPTURED
Picked up by the Kansas City Police
Hawley will Go for Him.

A telegram was yesterday received by
Chief of Police Glass from Chief L. e.
Erwin of Kansas City notifying him
that Fred Cooper, the absconding agent
of Craig, Stuart & Co., had been cap
tured in that city on a description, and
would be held to await the arrival of an
officer to take him back.
Cooper was travelling salesman for
the firm of wholesale grocers, and on
September 21st disappeared from San
Bernardino with at least $160 Of his en-
ployers money in his pockets. 1t was
at first thought that he might be among
the mountains of Riverside county, bu.
it was soon learned that he had passed
through Needles and Albuquerque on
his way east. Full descriptions of the
fugitive were forwarded and his capture
resulted as stated. Today Detective
Hawley will leave for Sacramento to
secure the governors signature to the
necessary requisition papers. and from
thence will proceed direct to Kansas
City to bring Cooper back to answer
for his crime.
1t is not yet definitely known just how
much Cooper has embezzled, but the
total will probably reach well UP toward
thousand dollars when all his accounts
are heard from.

charge of robbing ex-Police officer j.

July 2Sth last, was held before Justice
Owens in the police court yesterday.
One Of the three men implicated in the
affair, Francisco Ballestero, is now
doing time in San Quentin; another,
Manuel Reyes, is awaiting trial, and
Armeta was also held to answer to the
superior court at the conclusion of evil
dence, with bonds fixed in the sum of
$4,000.
Justice Morrison heard evidence in the
morning in the preliminary examination
of Charles Bithoff accused of assault
upon Adam ]. Kappes with a deadly
weapon on the night of September 14th
at Harmony gardens on South Main
street. The preponderance of evidence
was in favor of the defendant and at the
conclusion of testimony Bithoff was dis
charged and the complaint dismissed.
DR.. John j. Seilwood, arrested on two
complaints charging petty larceny and
obtaining money under. false pretenses,
was arraigned before Justice Owens and
his examination on the charges set for
the 9Th. Later in the afternoon the
defendant was again brought into court.
The prosecuting witnesses were present
and upon representations to Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Willis that the $25 due
Mr.. Marley and the $5 check given to
the c. Laux Company had been paid
and all accounts squared, it was moved
that the complaints be dismissed and
defendant discharged, which was done,
IS costs being paid in each instance.

had trial of their cases postponed until
the 9th at $780, Nonguier was tried,
found guilty and will receive sentence
today.
Jung Yon and All Lee, lottery ticket
sellers, pleaded guilty, but instead of
the usual fine of $40 each got just twice
that amount. They paid up, with wry
faces at the size of the assessment and
will probably fight their cases next time
as a cheaper proceeding. Wong Chung,
the wealthy Chinese merchant, was ar
raigned for disturbing the peace and trial
was set for today at 10 O'CLOCK
Another continuance was granted In
the case against Joe Parker for inde-
cent exposure, the matter going over

When a fly gets after person it never

it is gone, but it never forgets, and soon
