A CLOSET ROBBED.
The Skeleton Was Found Laid Away
i'm Lumber Yard.

Officer Taylor made a gruesome find
yesterday morning. While passing
through the lumber yard at Fifth and
L streets his attention was attracted
by a black canvas sack tucked away
under a pile of lumber
The sack was hauled to light and
when opened was found to contain a
human skeleton which had evidently
at no late date graced the closet of a
surgeon, as the wires with which the
bones had been connected We're still
attached to the several parts. though
broken and twisted past repair.
The skeleton, however, had been
shattered SO as to be of no further use.
the bones of the legs, arms and skull
being broken in several pieces.
The chronological points had been ac-
curately diagrammed on the skull by
means of black painted lines, and it
was evident that much care had been
given the skeleton by the surgeon who
owned it.
1t is supposed that the skeleton was
stolen from one Of the surgeons in this
city, and that when the thief found no
purchaser for his plumber he became
disguised and before disposing of it
took out his spite by breaking it up
over one of the piles Of lumber in the
yard.
Taylor would like to know whose
closet IS minus a skeleton.

DEFENDANTS WON.
Weinstock, Lubin & Co. Entitled to
the Gas Company's Reduction.

Judge Hart occupied the bench with
Judge Hughes in Department One OF
the Superior Court yesterday while the
case of the Capital Gas Company
against Weinstock, Lubin & Co. was
on trial.
The arguments of counsel occupied
most of the days session, and it was
late in the afternoon before the case
went to the jury. The action was tc
recover some $500 alleged to be due on
a contract for lighting the defendants
store. The latter had declined to pay
the full contract rate, claiming they
were entitled to the benefit of the
general reduction made in 1895.
The jury took this view of the mat
ter and returned judgment for Vein
stock, Lubin & Co.
The court submitted three PROPOSE
tons to the jury for their determine
ton, as follows:
First-Was an agreement made be-
tween the parties whereby the Capital
Gas Company agreed to accept less
than the contract of 1891 called for?
Second-Were the reductions intend
ed to apply to Weinstock, Lubin &,
Co.?
Third-Were the bills for reduction
made out through inadvertence or mis-
take?
On all of these the jury found in
favor of the defendants.

tween Stockton and Sacramento and
the rivalry between the three local
clubs works up to the warmth usual in
such cases there is talk of what the
other clubs are going to do that is
crooked in order to win the race. There
is talk of the ringers and the import
ed riders and how they are to be
worked into the race by the other clubs.
All of the talk is, of course, directed
against the other clubs and early this
week there was much of it said of the
Stockton Athletic Association. One or
two were sure that some fast San
Francisco men were here in Stockton
and were being kept for residence I'M
der the rules of the club with their
names on the club roll book long
enough to let them into the race.
One of the members of the associa-
ton when asked about the report re-
piled: ''Pll tell you how all that orig
mated. You see, some of the Terminal
City Wheelmen were out Sunday on
Cherokee lane having a tryout race of
some kind. Made pretty fair time, 1
believe. Something in the 81 minute
pace, L think. They were all of the
opinion that they were going pretty
fast when up behind them comes a cou-
pie of boys in brown sweaters-that's
our color-and they went by those Ter
minals as though the latter were tied
to a post and not moving at ALL
THE Terminals thought that they
were riding and when they saw those
brown sweaters go by they had to find
some excuse for their slow movements
and so declared that they We're worn
by fast men from San Francisco"
The association is out first with its
full list of riders, trailers, etc., and
therefore has the chance to stand back
and declare that the others are hold
ing off for a purpose
Yesterday a couple of additional rules
We're sent down from Sacramento, hav-
ing been agreed to by the Capital
Citys. They are that all trailers shall
wear red sashes and that no rider shall
accept Face maker in anyone not in
the race. That is, he cannot be helped
along his way by others. Both rules
were signed by the club captains and
sent back to Sacramento last evening.
There is nothing in the rules how
ever, that prevents rider from ''hOok-
ing on" to another rider in the race
and taking advantage of his pace max
ing if he can hold on.

THE "INDUSTRIALS."
The Leffingwell Gang Holding Down
a Freight Train.

The organized body of the San Fran
cisco unemployed, who several days
ago started from that city $50 strong
to go somewhere, and who arrived at
Lodi San Joaquin County, on Thurs
day, were still there last evening.
Though the walking was good, the
men had grown weary, and when
freight train No 107 pulled into Lodi
yesterday noon the whole gang, which
had received number of recruits on
the way, boarded the train, covering
the car like swarm of bees, and there
remained, regardless of persuasions and
threats. They wanted to get to Sac
ramento, and proposed to go with that
train.
The conductor of the train received
orders from Superintendent Wilder to
sidetrack his train and await orders.
This the conductor did, and so it hap
pens that the train still remains at
Lodi to keep the unemployed company.
A number of the men, it is said, at
tempted to board the Los Angeles ex-
press in the afternoon, but We're kept
off by the crew, and as there was no
concerted action only a few succeeded
in getting a lift as far as Gait.
The last train to pass through Lodi
! yesterday arrived here at o'clock last
evening. The conductor reported that
there had been no attempt on the part
of the gang to get aboard. They were
| still perched upon the cars of the train
! they had taken possession of at noon,
! and seemed very much at their ease.
The engineer of the delayed train had
steam up and was still waiting orders.
Chief of Police Drew had nothing to
say about the reception the men would
| receive if they should finally reach
Sacramento.
LATER-BACK TO STOCKTON.
superintendent Wilder communicated
with Sheriff Cunningham of San Joa-
quin County yesterday and requested
him to take steps to have the men re-
moved from the train.
The Sheriff replied that he knew of
nothing the men had done to bring
them within the purview of the law.
Late at night the Superintendent or
dered the train taken back to Stock
ton from Lodi, and the order was car
ried out by the conductor The indus
trial army, however, stayed with the
train, and refused to bulge when it
was sidetracked in the Stockton yards.
The railroad authorities state that
steps will be taken to have them re-
moved this morning, and that the de-
layed train Will be brought through
to this city.
LODI RELIEVED.
LODI, April 23.-The citizens fed the
unwelcome visitors at o'clock with
bread, eggs, crackers and corned meat
The men then prepared to sleep on top
of the cars until .the train moved, and
had sentinels posted. The trainmen,
however, pulled the train back to
Stockton just after 9 o'clock with all
On board.
This ends the excitement here. The
town was excited on account of fear
Of an outbreak while the men were
here. Leffingwell, the commander of
the company, said the men did not care
what became of them, and that they
would stay till the train moved or their
arrest took place.

war on the sports who gambol on the

Complaints have been sworn to by
Edward Curry against James Holsap-
pie, James Carroll and Bud Marsh for
conducting games on Yolo soil The
chief cause of complaint is said to be
the fact that the games are conducted
in a very public place, near the big
