PLEADED GUILTY.
The Oak Park Bloomer Girl Trunk
Case Disposed of.

Last Sunday afternoon the village of
Oak Park was thrown into a ferment
of excitement when it was reported
that three men had made an unsuccess-
full attempt to rob a trunk belonging
to q member of the aggregation of
players known as the "Bloomer Girls. -
How the officers followed Charles
Boehm to his house, at Twenty ninth
and r Streets and the startling events
which followed. leading up to his ar
rest, We're chronicled in Mondays Rec
ord-Union.' and the arrest of Fred
Everett and Joe Devoe, alleged to have
been the comrades of Boehm, followed
soon after.
The preliminary examination of the
trio was set for yesterday evening be-
fore Justice Candy, at Oak Park, Dep
uty District Attorney, ]. Charles Jones
appearing for the prosecution.
But the trunk belonging to the mem
Der of the "Bloomer Girls - aggrega-
ton had followed it's owner to San
Francisco, and, which was a very ma
terial fact in the case was not in evil
dence. Attorney Jones, therefore,
moved that the charge of burglary be
dismissed, and the motion was granted.
A new complaint was at once issued,
charging all three men with disturbing
the peace of f. c. Morton. proprietor
of the grounds at Oak Park, to which
the defendants promptly pleaded
guilty. Sentence in their cases was de-
ferred until tonight at 7:30 o'clock.
A young man by the name of James
Parker was also rarraigned and charged
with disturbing the peace of Mr.. Nor
ton by fighting and using vile language.
He pleaded not guilty, waived a Jury
trial and his case was set for this
evening.

A HAPPY SURPRISE.
1t Fell Upon Rev. Mr.. Morrow and
Family at Oak Park.

A number of Sacramento friends OF
Rev. Mr.. Morrow, pastor of the Metho-
dist Church at Oak Park, surprised the
reverend gentleman last evening al
that burg by walking into his prayer
meeting in a body and taking the
charge of affairs out of his hands.
The party was composed of number
| of members of the Masonic fraternity
their ladies and a few friends who un-
derstood the vicisSitudeS often met
with in a pastors work, and who knew
and appreciated Brother Morrow and
his strenuous labors in the Lords vine
yard.
Just as the minister was about to
close the meeting, DR.. w. F. Wizard in
| terrupted the speaker, and, securing
the attention of the audience, announced
| an exercise not down on the bills. Plac-
ing Professor E. C. Atkinson in nomin-
alton for chairman of the meeting, he
turned matters over to that gentleman,
who made a few Introductory remarks
and then called on several persons to
make short addresses touching on the
pastors work in Oak Park and vicinity,
which speeches were interspersed with
vocal and instrumental selections by
MeSSTS. owen, 1HOchei, +ISodSh, L iett l,
Neale, Hart and others.
Reverends A. C. Herrick and M. d.
Buck and Colonel II. Weinstock spoke
eoquently of the many requisites eX-
pected of ministers in general and of
the high appreciation Oak Park and
Sacramento felt for Rev. Mr.. Morrow.
Rev. T. H. B. Anderson then added his
testimony and entertained the audience
in his own inimitable manner.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Anderson S
remarks the Chairman turned to Rev.
Mr.. Morrow, and, with a few pleasant
and well + iosen words, presented the
pastor with a check on the Bank of
D. o. Mills x Co. for 500 as a testi-
monial from his friends.
The minister, taken completely by
surprise, was visibly affected, and
could not recover his voice until the
audience had sung Praise God From
Whom All Blessings Flow" when he
responded feelingly and warmly, thank
ing the contributors for their generous
testimonial and for their moral sup
port.
At the conclusion the friends present
pressed about Mr.. and Mrs. Morrow
and a general handshaking followed.

The plains between the Missouri River
and Utah are now dotted over with long
lines of railroad trains carrying Chris
tian Endeavor delegates and others to
this coast
1t is understood that the first train

Division Superintendent Wright of the
Southern Pacific Company was at Reno
yesterday making arrangements for the
pushing along of trains as they reach
the State line.
= He said it would take fifty trains of
ten cars each to carry them. They will
run about forty-five minutes apart, and
to avoid accident, the trains will run
from station to station-that is, train
leaving Reno would not be followed by
another section until the preceding one
had passed Verdi.
All freights will be abandoned 1t is
expected trains will begin passing Reno
some time Monday afternoon. Fifty big
mountain engines and fifty crews will
