STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Feb.
6.-The freshmen turned out in force yes
terday afternoon for baseball practice, and
are pretty sure to give the other classes a
hard fight for the class championship. A
number of the new men undoubtedly have
the making of good players and a steady
course of training under Captain McLaine
OF the Varsity will put most Of them in
excellent form. The general practiceswas,
on the whole, encouraging. New men are
coming out each evening, and but for the
lack of a change pitcher the outlook would
not be entirely dark.
On the track about twenty men kick up
the cinders each evening, while a half
dozen more practice with the hammer and
the shot. Wilbur, '99, is proving himself
valuable coach for the weight-putters.
de himself is nonpareil and his work is
having decided effect on that of several
OF Stanford's athletes. There seems to be
more enthusiasm than usual this early in
the season. Captain Toombs is hopeful
that more men will turn out before long
and expects to work them all into good
condition before the intercollegiate field
day. The inter-class matches are being
| relied on to bring out much new material.
The senior class met to-day and dis
cussed the question of farce to be given
during commencement week. a commit.
tee was appointed to study over the mat
ter and another committee to take charge
OF commencement week generally. A
proposition was submitted to the class for

college teams and scenes about the campus.
The matter was left for decision at the
next meeting.

DYNAM|T|NG A CAPITALIST
Midnight Attempt to Blow UE
the Stimson Residence at
Los Angeles.
The Noise Attracted the Night Watch.
man-Robbery the Probable
Motive.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 6.-At mid
night an attempt was made to blow up the
residence of T. d. Stimson, the capitalist.
The mansion is located in the bon ton
residence district of the city.
The plot failed by reason of the fact that
the conspirators were discovered before the
fuse was ignited. They were noisy in
making arrangements to touch off a large
quantity of giant powder, and attracted the
attention of a private watchman.
Stimson is millionaire and his residence
is one of the finest in the city. 1t is
believed that the motive of the parties who
attempted to perpetrate the outrage was
robbery.
1t was probably designed to blow out a
side OF the house and then in the confusion
a. gang could operate in stealing every thing
they could lay their hands on.

SALT LAKE SENSATION.
Police Make Extraordinary Cap.
lures While Raiding Dis
reputable Houses.
Business Men, City Officials and State
Legislators Included in the
Catch.

SALT LAKE. UTAH, Feb. 6-Early this
morning the police made an extraordinary
raid on the houses of ill-fame, arresting
and conveying to the police station men
and women alike. Among the former
were about dozen prominent business
men, city officials, two members of the
State Legislature now in session here, who
were locked up like the common herd until
the arrival of the Police Justice, when
they were released on bonds. ;
The exposure has created a profound
sensation. The two members Of the Legs
lature were booked in fictitious names
and their true ones are not divulged.
They will doubtless forfeit their bonds
and so end the matter as far as they are
concerned.
