Guardian APPOINTED .

Judge Christensen, of the Dodge
county court, on the petition of Philip
Kiefer, chairman of the town OF
Shields, and on the testimony of a
number of witnesses, has appointed a
guardian for Mrs. Mary Dolan, OF
Shields. The petitioner asked that
William Voss, neighbor, be appointed,
but the Judge selected Miss Kate
Dolan, a daughter. Regarding the
case The Juneau Telephone says;
The lady for the care and manage
ment of whose property a guardian
was asked, is a widow about IS years
of age and in feeble health. Since
the death of her husband some six
years ago, she and her daughter Kate
managed the farm of 100 acres. At
times they were assisted by her SON
in-law, John McGraw, of Watertown.
John Dolan, a son, was recently dis
charged from the Dodge county asy-
lum. When he returned to the home
stead in Shields some family difficulty
arose, and as it was likely to continue,
Mr.. Kiefer, upon the advice of neigh
bors and others, took steps for the
appointment of guardian in hopes
that, by vesting authority in some one,
the trouble might not be renewed"

can be imagined, when it is known
that 10000 declarations have been

and one-fourth of the above obtained

was issued May II, 1871, to Michael
Carroll; the next one July 10, 1S43,

of these entertainers is earnest and

FINED FIVE EACH.
The Mains Women Guilty of Dis
turbing the Peace.

The cases of Cora and Arvilla Mains,
charged with disturbing the peace of J.
Silva, We're called in the Police Court
yesterday. Silva swore that Arvilla
used the vilest of language toward him
and several other witnesses corroborat-
ed his testimony.
Arvilla took the stand and gave some
sensational testimony She told her
story, saying that Silva met her at the
dance on the Fourth Of July and asked
her where the necklace was that he
gave her, and when she told him that
it was broken he told her to bring it
down to the store and he would fix It.
She did so, but when she asked for it
again he told her that it was his and he
had sold ii.
The witness said she called him
murderer and a San Quentin jailbird
and accused him Of robbing a San
Francisco woman of her diamonds and
driving her to suicide. He called her
vile names, and she retorted, but did
not use any vile language.
Cora Mains denied that any bad Ian
guage was used, and claimed the wit
nesses were all fixed" against her and
her sister, and that witness Litchten-
stein was against her because she re-
fused to help him in obtaining money
ON his jewelry from a man named At
wood. She did not advise her sister TO
smash" Silva, but when Silva threat
ened to smash her sister she told
her not to let him do it.
The court said the preponderance OF
evidence was against the girls, and he
fined them So each.

lHE GANG NOW BROKEN UP.
COUNTERTEITER "PINKIE" ROS-
ENBAUM IS UNDER ARREST.
Followed From Sacramento to
Montana, Where He Was Play
ing the Races.

"Pinkie" Rosenbaum. a member of a
gang of counterfeiters who were flood
ing this State with spurious gold coins,
was arrested yesterday at the races in
Anaconda, Montana.
Rosenbaum and two of his confeder-
ates were in this city a few weeks ago,
whittier they We're traced by couple
of Secret Service detectives. The 9TH
er two were arrested by the detectives
one night on the Yolo bridge, as they
We're returning from Washington,
where they had been working off their
bogus coins against the good money of
the proprietors of the faro games.
Rosenbaum, however, gave the offic-
ers the slip and got away. They nat
urally concluded that he would be at
the Montana races, and sure enough
there they picked him up yesterday.
With the arrest Of Poscnbaum the last
of the famous Stark Rodgers gang of
counterfeiters has been captured, and
Secret Service Agent Harris of San
Francisco is correspondingly elated.
Rosenbaum was the man to whom
the duty of circulating the spurious
coin was intrusted, and as evidence of
his skill it may be mentioned that on
the night before the Corbett- Fitzsim-
mons fight he succeeded in passing
over 5000 in one of the San Francisco
poolroomS. Altogether it is estimated
that the gang circulated $4,000 worth
of bogus coin before it was broken up.

the next tournament game in this city

as to which is the better, and each will
put up it's best game, in order that 1t

was evidenced last Sunday when the
Fresno Republicans had all they could
do to defeat them. Had the luck
been reversed. the Corkers would nave
won. The Fresnos are rated as the
best club in the State.
The Gilt Edges have gained high
reputation this season by their good
playing and fine team work, and with
their crack pitcher, Hughes, IN the
box, they are hard to beat. Hughes
arm is much better now, and he says

| There is more interest taken in this
game than in any since the old Alta

there will be a large attendance pres

How Some Of the Folsom Guards
Were Parboiled.

A good story is told on some of the
guards at the Folsom State Prison.
As everyone knows, Monday night
was one OF the hottest and most oppres-
sive that had been experienced in the
interior in many years One did not re-
quire any artificial heat to keep from
freezing, yet some of the TRUSTEES al
the prison made it so hot for the guards
that the latter We're nearly melted IN
their hunks
The story goes that, while the guards
were trying in vain to get little fresh
air in their UP stairs quarters, the trus-
ties below We're turning on the steam
without stint. The radiators that warm
the guards room in winter grew hotter
as the minutes and hours passed so
slowly, and the officers rolled and tossed
in the sweltering heat, blessing the eli
mate of Repressa and wondering II they
were not already in purgatory, all the
time unconscious Of the fact that they
were being slowly roasted from below.
When daylight came the men left
their beds, saturated with the perspira-
ton that was boiling from every pore
in their bodies, and sought the outer
air, which they found to be cool ana
refreshing Everyone of them had lost
several pounds in weight, and they
were a weak and sorry looking lot Of
men that reported for duty that morn
ing.
OF course, they discovered the TRICK
that had been played on them, when
they found that the weather outside
was cool and pleasant, but whether or
not the TRUSTEES were disciplined for
their conduct is not known.

MANGLED BY A LOCOMOTIVE.
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT LAST
NIGHT TO AN OLD MAN.
Frank Lantz Steps in Front OF
Switch Engine-Will Froba-
bly, Die.

An old man named Frank Lantz
nearly 20 years of age, lies on cot at
the Receiving Hospital so badly man
gled that there is no hope of his Hv-
ing.
The unfortunate man was in sa-
loon at Sixth and streets last night,
and when he left the place, little be
fore 10 o'clock, it was virtually to walk
to his death.
He had a roll Of blankets on his
back. and as he left the door Of the
deadfaH he stepped on the railroad
track that runs along Sixth street and
directly in front of a yard engine that
came along at that moment. He was
knocked down and both legs terribly
mangled by the locomotive.
He was taken to the Receiving Hos
pital. where he was soon attended by
City Physician Nichols and DR.. Hunt
ington, the Southern Pacific Company 5
surgeon. They found that the bones
and flesh Of the right leg, from about
IDOL DtIOW knG ulp-JOilIts HClN ~ o9Ai~N'
and rnangled in a shocking manner.
His left foot was also crushed to d
pulp.
The surgeons saw at once that 1t
would be useless, as we'll as cruel, to
amputate his limbs, as the additional
shock would only serve to hasten his
death, which seemed to be a matter
of but a few hours at best. All that
could be done was to alleviate the poor
mans suffering by keeping him under
the influence of opiates.
He was still alive at a late hour last
night, but rapidly growing weaker.
The unfortunate man appears to be
a stranger here. He is a native of
Switzerland, and while he was con-
scious for a few moments he said he
had a brother residing somewhere in
San Francisco.
The supposition is that he was more
or less under the influence Of liquor at
the time of the accident, as a partially
filed flask of whisky was found inside
his roll of blankets.

CHARLES GRAE11ER DROWNED
THIRD RIVER VICTIM WITHIN
FOUR DAYS.
Unable to Swim, He Entered the
River to Battle and Sunk
at Once.

Another victim was yesterday added
to the list of those who had gone down
into the water of the river to rise no
more in life.
This time it was Charles E. Graeter,
a young man about 80 years Of age
and we'll known in the city.
Regardless of all the warnings that
have been voiced by the press. and
of the fact that two others had lost
their lives within the last four days,
Graeter ventuerd into the river, a
short distance above the Pioneer
FIGURING Mill, to battle. He was seen
by boy to disrobe, place his clothes
in a boat on the Yolo side, and drop
into the stream.
Whether or not he was seized with
cramps, or because he could not swim,
is not known, but he had no sooner
struck the water than he was in
trouble
The channel is quite deep at that
point, and the boy who was watching
him from this side of the river, says
he went out of sight almost at once.
He soon arose. but seemed to make lit
tie or no effort to save himself, and
again disappeared beneath the water
and was seen no more until his dead
body was recovered a few hours later.
Graeter was a member of Capital
Lodge Of Foresters, and also of the
Capital City Wheelmen. He leaves a
brother who until recently conducted a
candy store on K street near Eighth.

HOW IT HAPPENED.

for the league.
HOW IT HAPPENED.
The Corkers have returned from their
trip to Fresno, and state that nothing
but hard luck kept them from winning
the game there last Sunday. In the
eighth inning they had three men on
bases, with two out, when Rice hit a
line drive to center field.
Ordinarily the hit would have been a
home run, but the center fielder, after
a long run, made one-hand catch
with the ball only a few inches from
the ground. Had the ball got away
from the fielder, the score would have
been tied and the Corkers would have
won out, as they were hitting BalsZ
good and hard. Balsz said after the
game that the Corkers had hit him
harder than any team he has pitched
against this season.
BASEBALL NOTES.
Manuel De Costa of this city pitched
for the Willows team against the Grid =
leys last Sunday, and struck out fif-
teen batsmen, twelve of them in the
last five innings. He also accom-
plished the feat of striking out the side
on nine pitched balls, seven of them
being struck at.
Hughes sore arm is mending in fine
shape. Jay says that he will be in
good form by next Sunday.
George Newbert made a great hit at
Fresno, and became a decided favorite
there, but George" says Fresno is
too hot for him. The thermometer
was only 115 degrees in the shade
when the Corkers played there last
Sunday.
The large oak tree will probably be
removed from near the home plate in
the Oak Park inclosure before Sundays
game, and the bleachers will be covered
over.
The outfield at Oak Park should re-
ceive immediate attention. The earth
is so soft and rough that it is impossi-
BILE for the fielders to run on it.
Surgeson of the Paint Shop Club is
said to be one of the most promising
young players in this city. He can
play any position outside Of pitcher.
The Sacramento Athletic Club has
developed several fine players who will
be heard from later on.
