Ell Paso is now well supplied in the
show line. A dime museum is now in
progress which shows talking horse
and an electric girl. Further down
the street there is au animatiscope CIV
ing tie pictures in movement and

Still further down there is panoramic
show which gives views of all the most
noted scenes in the world. The shows
are cheap and some are well patroaized
mostly by children, but the animatis-
cope in the opera house building is
worthy of the patronage of the public
as it gives the kinetiscope pictures
which shows work of scene and art as
coming from the fertile brain of Tho

REDDING, CAL, Aug. 2S.-Jeff G15s n
a prosperous stock man of Millville, twelve

a sheep herder who robbed him OF $75O

to go into the Fall River country to buy
cattle. He stopped at Millviiie. and while
awaiting the hour of his departure
stretched himself out on card-table In
Shows Hote.
While he was in the room the sheep
h'rder entered. Ten minutes later he
emerged and gave Snow $50 gold piece to
change. He was known 10 have been PEN
niless before and this fact, coupled with
his long stay in the room with Gibson,
aroused the suspicion of the hotel man,
who went in, awakened Gibson and asked
him ii his money was all right.
Gibson replied, "Yes. / guess So" and
felt IN his pocket, 10 discover that he had
been robbed of his Eack containing $3.50.
The robber endeavored to steal his watch,
and had succeeded i'll breaking the chain.
Snow told Gibson OF the sheep-herder's s
visit to the room, and Gibson started out
in pursuit, arriving here at 8 O'Clock to-
night. 1t is thought that the sheep erder
went to Anderson, and officers will pursue
him thlther tonight.

which is five miles from Sisson, through

lhs first passenger-car to go over the r. DAD.
Upon their return to Sisson all who
could procure vehicles went tc the various
points OF interest near by. Among these
were the United Sta.es hatchery and the
headwaters of the Sacra mento River.
Notwithstanding the fact that the view
of Mount Shasta was greatly obscured by

of the majestic old mountain. Many OF
the teachers had their kodaks with them
and obtained views OF the base of the

OF any student whose presence for any reason
seems undesirable. 1t is desired that you
should exercise this authority, not only on
those found guilty of specific acts of immor-
