Held Up AND
/ KNOCKED DOWN
Deputy Quinlan Attacked
at Midnight in Fruit
vale.
Shot at His Assailants. Though
Badly Injured by a Pick
Handle.
Confined to His House on Account of
the Serious Cuts on His
Head.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,


9OS Broadway, June 26. (
Deputy Constable Quinlan was heId up
by two men last night, and in the course
of the operation be was not disposed to be
quiet, so he was promptly knocked down.
The attempted robbery and assault to
murder occurred just at midnight in
front OF the Wetherbee home at Fruit
vale avenue and East Fourteen h street.
Every effort is being made to keep the
affair secret, as this is the second time
that an officer has been held up within q
few weeks
Deputy QuinIan was walking along
Fruitvale avenue when he was met by two
men, who at once made the usual high
wayman's request. Quinlan was very
much surprised that his star did not at
once cause the robbers to take to their
heels, and he made some demnr before
complying and pointing his arms sky
ward.
The robbers were not inclined to tenn
porize, and while Quinlan was hesitating
he was struck violently on the head with
a PICK handle. 1t feIled him TO the
ground, but before anything could be
taken from him the robbers heard some
body approaching, SO they left the con-
stable bleeding where he fell.
he was not stunned, although severely
injured, and after getting upon his feet,
Quinlan managed to get out his gun. He
took several shots at the retreating rob-
bers, but apparently did not hit any
thing but tEe fence.
The sound of the shots attracted the at
tention of Deputy Constable Cramer, and
when he found the wounded officer he
assisted him to a drugstore, wheie- his
wounds were treated.
a visit to the place where the assault
occurred was rewarded by the finding OF a
picKhandle, on which was some blood.
1t is a vicious looking weapon and
could easily Kill a man in the hands of a
murderer. Il is now held by the police as
evidence, in case the desperadoes are ever
arrested.
As the affair occurred in a dark part OF
the avenue Quinlan does not know if he
could recognize them. He is confined TO
his couch to-day, but will be fully recov.
cred in few days.
The wounded deputy has no idea of the
identity of his assailants but does not
think any of his shots hit them. He was
so dazed that he could not get up from
The ground before the robbers had a good
start. His head is badly cut and he lost a
large auaEtity of blood. No cleH TO the
men could be found to-day.

steamer, but it is not probable that they
will go any further than the islands.
The slopement was very cleverly
pIannsd and Mr.. Arendt Sr is not at all
pleased at the manner in which he was
treated by his son. Knowing that the
young people were a great deal in each
others company Mr.. Arendt made his
son a very generous offer of a trip TO
Australia. No one knew what the terms
were, but now that the whole story is out
MIR. Arendt talks freely of the incident.
He had no idea that a marriage had
taken place, and be promised his son that
when he was aboard the steamer he would
give him a big check. He stayed with
jerome till the gangplank was drawn
ashore, and then he took from his pocket
q check for $1,000 and told his boy to have
a good, sensible time. He watched the
steamer pass out toward the Golden Gate
and returned to Pleasanton. satisfied that
he bad been the means of breaking off the
m match he did not favor.
But while he was congratulating him
self on his success there were two people
also congratulating themselves in a state
room as they looked at that $1,000 check.
While Arendt Sr. was saying good by to
his son his young and pretty wife was
hidden away in a ststeroom, waiting for
the moment whom her husband should
tell her that they were safe. The scheme
worked perfectly, and not until Papa
Arendt reao THE CALL did he know that
a marriage had taken place at San Rafael
several months ago and that he had un-
Willingly started the couple on luxuri-
Gus honeymoon.
Papa Uphoff is not at all displeased
over the wedding. He says that his
daughter has welded popular and
worthy young man, who Has good pros.
pects and he will not sav ANYTHING un-
pleasant about it. Mrs. Uphoff is of the
same mind, and it is supposed that Dora's
parents were not altogether ignorant OF
her departure.

Janitors' Salaries.Fs
BERKELEY, CAL, June 26. The ques-
tion OF The red uction of the university jam
itors' salaries is still a topic for discus
sion. The sudden cut bv the regents of
their salaries from $50 TO $55 month has
been the cause of much complaint, both
from the standpoint of equity and from
the TACT that they are required to work
from nine to ten hours a day, in alleged
violation of the State labor law.
The cut in salaries was made so that
another janitor might be EN- ployed with
out drawing on the State treasury for his
pay.

OAKLAND, CAL, June 26.-Special

been taken to secure the amount.

The death of Mr. Louis C. Stitel yester-
day morning, resulting from the dis
tresslng accident he met with the even
ing before, moved business and eocal cir
cles in which the deceased was a promi-
nent figure, to their profoundest depths
and was a severe shock to his wide rela-
tlonshlp and intimate friends. Death at
any time carries with It inexprsssibe
sorrow, even when anticipated
but when man in Mr.. Sdfel's
situation in life, in the very vlgor OF
manhood, is suddenly called from scenes
of activity grief is almost stunned by
the suddenness OF the blow.
Mr.. stfel was one OF the most popular
and respected citizens of Wheeling, the
soul of honor and integrity. Courteous
and approachable In business as well as
social relations he held warm place In
the affections Of all who came In contact
with him. He was a successful business
man of the strlctcst probIty, and engaged
in many enterprises that marked the
clty's progress and prosperity. He was
extremely modest and gentle IN DISPOSE
ton, but OF such force of character that
will leave lasting impression on the
years to come. He was of class Of cItI-
zens that Wheeling is justly proud Of,
and the passing of one Is nothing short OF
public calamity.

The code of ethics In the United States
army is coming into very bad repute,
That strict discipline must be maintain
ed win not be gainsayed, but that brutal
lily to subordlnates and petty persecu-
tons of those who testify against super
Tors should be countenanced will not re-
ceIvo the support OF any fair-minded
person. The recent Fort Sheridan scan
dial Is having its effect on those soldiers
who told the truth about Captain Lover
ing's brutal treatment OF private Ham
mond, In any light we may look at ii,
Captain Coverings conduct was not sol-
dlerly, But he was an officer, and off
GERS In the army arc very close corpor-
alton. The recent resignation OF Private
Waddell gives color to the report that all
who testified against Lowering are being
humIllated In every way possible,
Another case in point Is that of a
young Lieutenant who married an order
ly's daughter, He loved his wife, but
the social ostraclsm that was inaugur-
atea by his brother officers was so pro-
nounced and offensive that 1t drove the
young officer from the army,
Captain o'Brcn knocked down his SUI
perIor officer fov casting slurs on his
wife. He was punished but the super
Tor officers offensc was no crime IN the

be multiplied. It Is the arIstocracy of
