We feel at this time to make mem
ton OF some of the blessings extended
to us by our heavenly Father, as He
has opened up our way before us and
enabled us to present. in our weak
way, some Of the glorious principles OF
eternal truth.
The writer's met about four weeks
ago at the head quarters Of this branch
of the mission. and in compliance with
appointment left Cohocton, N. Y. to
labor in this and surrounding cities.
We feel to say that we were led by
Divine influence to the home of one of
the most hospitable families of this
city. In every sense of the word they
are kind and generous We were
welcomed without minutes hesitR-
ton, and furnished with all things
needed for our comfort and convent
ence.
After surveying the country and Sc
Letting places in which to labor, We
approached some of the school trustees
and stated our business and who we
were. at the same time making men
ton that we should be pleased to
speak some time to the people, IL we
could obtain permission to use the
school house. six places have been
opened Tor US, In some of which we
have spoken twice, and the doors are
still open. our meetings, as "A rule, are
quite well attended, but to some our
message Is strange. 1t Is the first
time they have heard such teachings.
All who attend accept our literature.
and we hope this may be a means of
removing prejudice and also leading
many to search for the truth.
We have held up to date. since COM
Ing here, nine meetings. and have two
other appointments for next sunday.

this who have relatives or friends In

BERTRAND NOT GUILTY
Court Finds Gus Beyers' Victim limo
cent of Any Offense

Pierre Bertrand was yesterday found
not guilty of petty larceny by Justice
Morrisosa The case was tried several
days ago and taken under advisement.
Bertrand is the Frenchman who was
shot on Alameda street by Deputy Con-
stable Gus Boyer. At 4 o'clock one
morning Boyer saw man steal pair
of whif1letrees from wagon belonging
to the California Truck company. He
followed him and when he diG not stop
on command, to halt, shot, bringing
him down with bullet in the hip. Ber-
trand avoweG that he did not steal the
whiff1etrees which were found not far
from where he fell, but said that another
man ahead of him had thrown them
dowtl and ran when the officer called TO
stop. One witness testified to having
seen a third party farther Gown the
street when the shooting occurred. Boyer
admitted that he had lost sight Of the
man with the whiffletrees several times
before he fired. AS the case stands the
officer will probably be put to some
trouble to explain why he shot man
whom he was unable to convict on a
misdemeanor charge.

MAN IN THE CLOSET
But He Was There to Get Personal
Satisfaction From Mrs. Berge

Harry Phillips was arrested last night
on a warrant charging disturbance of
the peace. The complaint was issued
on the statement of Mrs. Oracle Berge
who lives in the Berlin on Broadway and
Second streets. Sunday night she re-
turned to her room, as she says, and had
just shut the door when Phillips stepped
out of closet in which he had hidden
himself and began beating her. He kept
this up until he felt satisfied and then
left the room. The woman called at the
police station and wanted to have Phil
lips arrested. She was told that no ar
rest could be made without warrant
and yesterday she swore to a complaint
before the district attorney. Phillips
was brought to the station and released
on $25 cash bail

Terrible Deficiency Of Wh.at Abroad-Amer.
ice 20 Supply the World

Late advices from Washington, based on
reports of government experts, report that
the shortage in the worlds wheat crop will
reach the starvation figure of 1120O0,000
bushels. America is relied upon to supply
the deficiency out of her grand product Of
460 100000. This deficiency can, with some
aid of the rye and corn crop, be made up
but who could supply the sick and debili-
tated deficiency of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters? There is happily always a sup
ply of that promptly helpful medicine adj
equate to the relief of the dyspeptic. the
constipated, the bilious and the rheumatic.
1t will, without interruption, continue to
build up the weak, to protect the denizcns
OF malarial scourged localities from chiIls
and fever and kindred disorders. and to
counteract a tendency to torpidity of the
kidneys and bladder which, If disregarded,
is speedily subversive of their organic
health Not only does it renew digestion,
but also appetite and sleep.

MED that Ladd was his attorney or ever

Ladd stopped a minute and grinned.

The court frowned and growled out
something about trif1ing with the court
Deputy District Attorney McComss
volunteered the information that the
whole thing, in his opinion, was a
scheme to gain time.

cused him and appointed Mr.. Blakely to

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY
A Horse Spreads Terror for Four
Blocks on Spring Street

An exciting runaway occurred on
Spring street yesterday at noon which
resulted In one woman receiving serious
injuries, narrow escape for several
other people and the complete destruc-
tion of handsome wagon. The run
away started at Temple street, and the
frantic horse continued his wild course
down Spring street to half way between
Third and Fourth, beirg brought up in
front of the Owl drug store.
The horse and wagon belonged to f.
Shankland, and got loose from where it
was hitched on Temple street. As the
animal rounded the corner al Spring it
rushed onto the sidewalk, where group
Of people were standing waiting for cars
Mrs. Hoyt. who lives corner of Hope
and Twenty-seventh streets, lodged,
but was not quick enough, and wheel
struck her, pitching her out almost to
the middle of the street. The horse con-
tinued down the west side of Spring
street for few doors and then ran
across TO the east side, again running
upon the sidewalk. The vehicle was
banged against telephone and lighting
poles and was soon demolished. tn
horse took the street after passing the
Hub clothing store, and as it continued
its mad run several persons had much
to do to avoid being run into. On reach
ing the Owl drug store the horse was
brought up after scattering pieces of the
wagon along the street for four blocks.
Mrs. Hoyt was picked up and carried
into Thomas drug store. A examination
showed that she had had an almost mir
aculous escape from worse injuries, as
she had been thrown by the force of the
collision distance of nearly thirty feet,
striking upon the cadamized pave
ment Her body was considerably
bruised, and while her injuries are pain
full they are rot of a character to cause
anxiety. She was sent home in hack

RUBIo CANYON WATER
Stockholders Property Cannot Be Sold
for Delinquent Assessments

The property owners in Rubio can
yon, who were organized into a protec-
ton district and then lost an appeal
case in the supreme court, in which
they tried to divert, legally, their storm
water into Eaton canyon, had an inning
when Judge Van Dyke yesterday made
perpetual an injunction restraining the
tax collector from selling their property
to pay the expenses of the formation of
the district. They each had refused TO
pay their proportionate share of the
cost, which amounts to more than $4,000.
This amount will probably become a
claim against the county.
