Record of the Clubs.

The splendid pitching of William Hill OF
the Louisviles against the Senators yes
terday In the bourbon city was respon-
sibie for shut out being registered
against the latter. while the Colonels got
five runners across the home plate. But
two Tits were made by the Senators in
the entire nine innings. one each by Nc
Guire and Mercer. and this exhibition on
Hills part will almost stand as record
on the season. equaling Killen's record
against the New Yorks last week.
Winnie Mercer did the twirling for the
WasEingtons, and his work was very good.
but in comparison with the work Of Hill
looks very ordinary. Mercer has had pref
ty tough luck this spring SO far for a
pitcher Of his reputation, not pitching more
than two full games and winning out The
fielding Of both teams was very good, the
COlorels playing without an error. and
Jim McGuires wild throw being the only
misplay for the Senator's.

was then arranged that the prisoner
should be taken north from Los An
geles on Sunday morning at 1850
o'clock, in charge of Deputy Sheriff
John Barnhill.
Before this, however, the friends Of
Felkens had made arrangements in the
Sheriffs office to take him north on
Sunday night. The Sheriff, knowing
that there was big money back Of
Felkens, refused to comply with this
request, but was induced to sub
stitute Deputy Sheriff Barnhill in place
Of Mcclure. The programme was, as
1t has been unearthed, that the pris-
oner, in company with Barnhill, should
be taken to the residence of Miss Men
doza, in order to bid her good-by, and
at her house the officer was to be held
up and the prisoner liberated
This scheme coming to the ears Of
Sheriff Burr, through TRUSTEES in the
county Jail, naturally fell through.
Miss Mendoza, however, obtained q
ticket to Mojave and left the night be-
fore the prisoner was taken north. At
Mojave she obtained two tickets to
Sacramento, and had her baggage
checked accordingly.
The officer who was in charge of the
prisoner states that he allowed him
to go into the closet, when the door was
locked upon him, and that when he
went to investigate his man was gone
Chief Lees has been furnished with
a full description of Felkens and his
detectives are on his track, as 1t is
believed that he Is in this city.

CLAIMS TO Be
PROSECUTED
Charles Weber at the Receivino
Hospital Charged With
Insanity.
Claims That His Wife Drinks and
Becomes Violent While
Intoxicated.

Charles Weber, a cabinet maker
who has been living with his wife at
129 Third street, is in a padded cell
at the Receiving Hospital, charged
with insanity. About five months ago
he was released from the Ukiah asy-
lum, where he had been confined for
thirteen months, but, according TO his
story, he was put in the kitchen there
two days after his arrival
He tells story Of persecution on
the part of his wife, which is believed
at the hospital. He said last even
ing: Il am as sane as any man could
wish to be, but my wife is the cause of
all my trouble. Once before I was
railroaded to the asylum, but this time
/ will fight the case and prove to the
satisfaction of the court that my story
Is q true one.
"The truth Of the matter is that nv
wife drinks and then commences abuse
which oompels me to leave the house.
A few days ago friend Of mine gave
mas present, but when I got 1t home
my wife confiscated 1t. The result is
that have large pet lump over my
right eye from a blow she gave me.h
Mrs. Weber denied her husbands
statement, but when she called to see
him at the hospital he told his story
and the matron asked Mrs. Weber to
retire. The case will come before the
Insanity Commissioners in a few days.
and the attendants at the hospital are
confident that Weber will prove con-
clusively that he is the victim of cir
cumstances and not of any disease of

Consolidation Act, which requires that
AL demands on the treasury made
under the provisions of this act" shall
be registered and paid in the order
Of their submission; but it was point
ed out that the act does not cite Du-
pont-street bonds as one of these de-
mands, and so the question of regis
tration was at once eliminated from
the matter.
In his decision Judge Daingerfield
allows Meyer payment on one bond or
$1,000 and $14O0 on coupons; to Bowen,
the 1ntervenor, who submitted his
bonds after the influx of money on
July 27, he allows payment on sixteen
bonds, or $4,000, and over $11O0 on
coupons. The small amount Of the
Judgment to Meyer is due to the fact
that he must take what Is left after
his more fortunate opponent has had
his chance on the funds.
1t now remains for the bondholders
to have the remaining injunction
suits now pending-there are only
four-dismissed on the authority Of the
test cases which have already been
decided and then to sit down quietly,
saying nothing to rival bondholders
and keep bright watch on the treas
ury. When there is money there they
must hurry down and put in their de-
mands or some more f1eet-footed cred
itor will get in before them The
amount of money represented in the
still outstanding bonds will mount up
to over $3.50, ,000

He Was En- Route To San
Quentin Wearing an
Oregon Boot.
Preparations for His Delivery
Before Leaving Los
Angeles.
OFFICERS TO BE HELD UP.
Pies and Cakes Found to Contain
Prussic Acid and
Files.

Charles w. Felkens, who made his
escape from a Los Angeles Deputy
Sheriff on a northbound train Monday
morning near Fresno, appears to bear
a, charmed life.
In connection with his escape there
is a story. Felkens is a son of a we'll
known banker of New Haven, Conn.
He came to the Pacific Coast about
two years ago and engaged in real
estate in Los Angeles. He mingled
with the best society, and from the
fact of his carrying letters from prom
inent people in the East he was not
long in securing for himself the in
PRODUCTION into the homes of the best
people of Los Angeles. He was a
prominent figure in all social events.
Soon after his appearance in Los
, Angeles many burglaries were com
mitted among the aristocratic resi-
dents. Houses were entered at mid
day and jewelry abstracted. These
burglaFies puzzled Chief Glass and his
detectives.
The detectives Of Los Angeles were
for long time baf1ed, but at last they
obtained a clew and proceeded to the
room Of Felkens, where they found
+
was afterward identified as the pro-
ceeds Of burglaries which he had COM
nitted.
The career Of this man Is something
remarkable. AS an incident, he rep
resented himself in Los Angeles as q
newspaper and magazine writer, and
upon one occasion when he chanced
to meet a reporter of one Of the Los
r1Io e
q bank president Of that city he re-
marked to him that the reporters of
the daily papers overlooked many a
good item, saying, II will furnish you
a good item some day"
About two weeks after the above
conversation a reporter was called into
the office Of the Chief of Police in Los
Angeles, when the prisoner was
brought before him. The surprise of
the reporter was great when he rec
ogniZed the prisoner as the man who
was introduced to him in the Office of
the bank president.
Felkens was arraigned in the .Su-
perior Court of Los Angeles County
before Judge Smith upon five counts
charging him with burglary. BY some
manipulation he was allowed to plead
guilty to one charge and was sem
fenced to five years in San Quentin.
Before being sentenced it appears
that b'elKenS, VINO had prominent
friends in Los Angeles, obtained
through the District Attorneys office
a postponement Of his sentence until
next Monday.
His escape, It will be seen, was evil
IDENTIFY brought about from a well-pre-
conceived plan. The night before he
was to have left Los Angeles beauti-
full Spanish girl named Elvira Men
doza called at the county Jail and to
the jailer delivered a pie and cake
Sheriff Burr, having suspicious that
all was not right, took the pie and
cake in charge, and upon dissecting
the same found IN the pie bottle Of
prussic acid and in the cake three
small files Of the finest texture. 1t
