BAKERSFIELD, July IA bold plot
to kidnap the well known capitalist,
Henry Miller, and hold him for a heavy
ransom has just been discovered here.
The details come from one who was
let into the scheme, but afterward re-
fused to participate. Three men in the
plot We're Jim Lawrence, a man by the
name of Trainor and another known
as Chicago.s All have worked for some
months on the Miller and Lux ranch
here, and in that way became ac-
quainted with the country roundabout.
For years it has been Mr.. Miller's GUS
tom to make periodical visits to his
domain here, spending some days in
looking after the droves of cattle and
sheep and the crops of grain.
A plan was formed by the men above
mentioned to capture him on one of
these trips and hurry him off to Sc
cluded place and demand a price for his
liberty The place selected for hiding
him was an abandoned camp some
miles from the Miller and Lux fields,
away from any road that is Travelled
at this season of the ear. Once away
from the eye of the world a demand
was to be made for a check for $50
900. Two of the men would then hold
Miller captive while the third proceeded
to town and cashed the check.
Miller made his usual trip to the
ranch a few days ago and everything
was in readiness to carry out the plans,
but it happened that his superintend-
ent, S. W. While, who is also President
of the Bank of Bakersfield, went to the
ranch with him and travelled over the
ranch for several days in his company.
AS no opportunity was presented to get
Miller alone, the plan had to be aban-
dOned, as it was desirable that While
should not be taken to. A day or two
after Miller left the ranch the fourth
man who had a knowledge of the plot
told While the particulars. The other
three men learned that the plot was
discovered, and have disappeared. They
equipped themselves with the best sad
die horses to be had and Mexico is said
to be their destination.

miles from the city. where she will re-
main until Wednesday or Thursday. At
her present anchorage she will take on
about 500 tons OF coal previous to sailing
Tor New Orleans.
1t is considered by some persons a re-
Election on the port that Captain Glass
should have thought it necessary to go out
side TO coal, inasmuch as she would have
drawn considerably less water when her
bunkers were full than there is in the
channel inside or on the bar at mean low
tide Pulling out as early as she did was
also disappointment to u good many peo-
PIE who We're not favored with an oppor-
tunity to 20 on board of her and inspect
the much talked of batteship.
1t was understood yesterday evening in
fact was positively stated by some persons
who seemed to know. thSt the Texas would
not go outside until Monday and that an
opportunity would be given to visitors to
board her today. This expectation was.
however. disappointed. Hundreds of people
went outside today in boats, bsrges and
schooners and had the satisfaction OF talk
ing a look at the warship from respectful
distance, but few of them enjoyed the
pleasure OF treadng her decks or making
the acquaintance of those on board.
