Men are just like hogs, however
distasteful this may sound to the
hogs. When a hog gets an ear of
corn, every other hog will trot
long behind him, squeal and whine
and beg and toady for a bite, but
just let the front hog get caught
with his head fast in a crack and
every son of a SOW will Jump on
him and tear him to pieces. Just
so with men. AS long as a man is
prosperous and has money he can't
keep friends off with a base ball
bat.4 The minute he is unfortunate
and his wealth is gone, he is not
only snubbed by his former alleged
friends, but they at once begin to
do him all the harm possible
When man starts up grade the
world falls behind and pushes.
When he starts down grade, the
world steps to one side and greases
the track. Elk.

STANFORD CO-EDS WIN,
Castilleja Hall Girls Defeated
in the Basketball
Contest.
But One Goal Is Made, and That
During the Last Minute
of the Play.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Feb.
2L.-The Stanford "co-eds," in game of
basketball this afternoon, defeated team
from Castilleia Hall by a score of 4 to 0.
The contest was witnessed by hundreds OF
students and faculty members.
During the first part of the game there
were few hot rallies. Toward the end OF
the game, however, the players warmed
up to their work, and being very evenly
matched, the plays were hot and furious.
Tumbles were frequent and the girls, with
flushed cheeks and disheveled hair, tossed
each other about in most unceremonious
manner, fell in heaps and scram bled after
the elusive ball just as earnestly as the
Varsity footballers would in struggle
with Berkeley.
Miss McCray the captain of the STAN
ford team. played the "star" game. but
was very closely matched by Miss Mayne,
the captain of the Castillejo team. The
Misses Kiefer, d ecker and RYAN did noble
work for Stanford, but it looked as though
the score would end in tie until the last
minute of the play, when Miss Kiefer
made q goal for her side.

Witness Furnish Gives Contradictory
Eridencc on Cross -Eranination.
WILLOWS, Feb. 21.-S. J. Furnish was
recalled to the stand this morning, when
the trial OF Editor Sehorn for the murder
of Druggist Putnam was resumed. Fur
nish's evidence was very contradictory
and he was apparently endeavoring to
shield the prisoner. He declared that he
had heard Sehorn tell Putnam that if he
owed the druggist anything he would pay.
He did not hear the editor call his an.ag-
onist liar.
c. c. Adams of San Francisco was in
Willows on the day of the homicide and
witnessed the killing of Putnam. He
heard Sehorn ask Putnam if he owed him
81. Putnam claimed that the 81 was due
him. Something about receipt was men,
toned. Putnam wanted Sehorn to come
around in the morning, but Sehorn wanted
the matter adjusted then. Adams saw a
blow delivered as Sehorn was moving
away. He was not sure that Sehorn' s
body touched the sidewalk. Putnam fol-
lowed up the blow rapidly.
On cross-examination Adams said that
Sehorn, Furnish and himself had gone to
the scene of the killing together. Mrs.
Sehorn appeared on the scene and endea-
vored 10 get her husband to go away, and
he would not. When Sehorn drew his re-
volver Putnam was leaning against the
awning post, smoking cigar.

He Is Shot Through the Trap
Within a Minute After Leav-
ing His Cell.
FEAR CHEATS THE HANGMAN
Dread of His Doom Leaves the Wretch
AS One Dead Before the Moose
Is Adjusted.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 21.-One
minute after Warden Aull turned the KEY,
opened the door of Ivan Kovalev's cell
and the murderer of the Webers stepped
out, he was hanging, an inert mass of hu-
man clay at the end of a rope. The exc
cution was carried out so quickly that
that he stood upon the gallows and that
his last moment had come he was shot
through the trap in to eternity.
At an early hour this morning Kovalev,
after troubled and broken nights sleep,
left his cot and paced slowly up ana down
the narrow confines OF his cell. His eyes
had that non-seeing, far-away look which
was 80 characteristic and so much re-
marked upon during his late trial, and
which had so much to do with persuading
his counsel that his mind had become a
blank. His ellow-countryman, who had
passed the night in the same cell, at
tempted to engage him in conversation,
but with absolutely no success, as all he
could be induced to say was:
Let me alone; let me alone"
Later a tempting breakfast was brought
into the cell, but KovaIey absolutely re-
fused to touch 1t, When liquor was Of
fered him he shook his head, and all that
he could be induced to swallow was a slice
of bread and glass of milk. Spiritual
advisers. either priest or minister, he
would not see. He had always expressed
doubt of the existence of a Creator, and
believed that when man died it was the
end of him.
There are many who witnessed the exc
Curion who claim that Kovalev had alway
cherished the belief that he would never
be executed, and that notwithstanding the
fact that he had been solemnly informed
that there was no possible hope for him.
he in reality believed all that was told him
was for the purpose of frightening him
into confessing his participation in the
crime for which his life was forfeited.
They believe that when the cell door
swung open and he obeyed the command
to walk out even yhen he did not realize
that he was to die! Nor was it until the
straps had been put around his lin bs and
the moose frightened around his throat
that his dull intellect fully realized that
this meant death.
Then came total collapse, tremor
ran through him, his limbs suddenly
gave way and Ivan Kovalev was practi-
cally dead from fear as the trap fell and he
shot to the end of the rope. There was no
struggle after he dropped, only nervous
twitching of his fingers and feet, which
lasted about four minutes.
After the execution an autopsy was held
by Drs. F. D. Tyrrell and c. L. Brownell
and it was found that Kovalev's spine had
been slightly fractured in two place. by
the fall through the trap. This was prob
ably occasioned by the limp condition of
the body, owing to the sudden collapse of
his physical powers as the drop was made.
His brain was found to be in a normal con-
dition and weighed slightly more than the
average

LOOT OF A COUN TRY BANK,
Two Men Blew Open the Safe

They Worked With Boldness in the
Night, but Left No Clew
Behind.

LAWRENCE, KANs., Feb. 21.-The bank
at McLouth, twelve miles north of here, in

covered that during the night the bank
had been robbed. The thieves entered the
building by breaking the screen out of the
window of the directors room and then
prying up the sash. A hole was drilled
over the combination of the lock to the
vault, tnen with a punch the catch was
driven back. Four large fenceposts were
taken into the vault as braces, and after
the safe had been drilled it was blown
open.

TACOMA STRIKES
At CORRUPTION,
Park Commissioner Isaac
W. Anderson Is
OuSted.
CONVICTED OF BRIBERY.
Evidence Against Him Deemed
Conclusive by the Council
Committee.
THE TRIAL OF M'CAULEY.
Ex.Cashier Peters Refuses to Answer
Questions duplicating the Accused
Ex.City Treasurer.

TACOMA, WASH. Feb. 21.-The council
committee investigating the charges
against Park Commissioner Isaac w.
Anderson, who is the president of the
Tacoma Land Company, found him guilty
by an almost unanimous vote and ousted
him from the position of park commits
sioner
The charges against Anderson were mis-
representation in the sale of the water and
hight plant to the city, and bribery and
corruption in connection with that trans
fer. City Attorney Wiekersham conducted
prosecution of the charges.
The testimony of one of Anderson's
tools, Fred E, King, that he had received
$40 to help carry elections for Anderson's
candidates. had strong bearing in the in
vestigation. w. F. Clarke, ]. c. Newell,
w. H. Morrisey and j. A. Claremont also
testified to having received money from
Anderson to help carry elections. No
defense was made by Anderson.
The taking of evidence in the trial of
ex-City Treasurer ]. W. McCauley, charged
with making profit out of public funds
by drawing interest on money deposited
in the Columbia National Bank, now de-
funct, was finished to-day. The case is
delayed by the refusal of a witness, W. G..
Peters, ex-cashier OF the institution, to
answer questions on the ground that his
replies might incrlminate himself. He
repeatedly refused to state whether Nc
Cauley ever deposited money with him.
The prosecuting attorney dwelt upon
the danger to the public that would come
from the custom OF allowing treasnrers to
draw interest on public deposits. The
Legislature had declared that such an act
was a crime and had provided a punish
ment. He cited the fact that the balances
on the city's deposits in this bank in
creased from $4,000 in the beginning of
July 10 100000 at the time the bank
closed its doors, as an example of how the
public interests might and did suffer from
such method of doing business. He then
reviewed the evidence, being interrupted
occasionally by the defendants counsel
because of alleged incorrectness in his
statements regarding the testimony.
The case will go to the jury tomorrow.
