WOODLAND. CAL, March 15.-Frank
and Edward Prather, who reside near
Knights Landing, have been arrested on a
charge of stealing about forty head OF cat
tie from the Fair ranch. Some OF the cat
tie were driven off on Monday night and
the rest the following night. B. G. Peart,
the manager of the Fair ranch, located the
stolen cattle on the Prather range, near
Dunnigan. on Friday. He swore to
complaint against Edward Prather, and
Constable Smith OF Arbuckle arrested him
on Saturday. Frank, the other brother
implicated in the crime, lived with his
family near Knights Landing and his ar
rest was made at late hour last Satur-
day night.
The officer drove to the Prather home
and after considerable delay succeeded in
learning from Mrs. Prather that her hus-
band was at the Darby camp engaged in
training colts. The officers aroused
Prather and informed him that he was q
prisoner. He was handcuffed while lying
in bed and his weapons were placed out
of his reach. He had pistol lying on
table near his bed, another one was found
under his pillow, and in the corner of the
room stood a Winchester rife. The Off
GERS believe Prather would have shown
fight had he not been surprised. The
prisoner was brought to Woodland and is
now in the County Jail.
The Prather boys have always borne
bad reputation in this county. Ed Prather
served term in the State prison for shoot
ing asman who he claimed was trying 10
rob his house.

Following close upon her arrival news
OF Fire baugh's marriage to Miss Hamil-

there was CONSERVATION in the Winters
family. accompanied by tears and words
of bitter reproacn. Finally it dawned
upon the Winters that Firebaugh's act
was proof OF despicable nature, and
therefore Miss Rose was fortunate in not
having married him.
1t appears that Flrebaugh has been car

both young ladies. and had set the mar

Another boat hurried to rescue il and also

both floating down the stream nearly
mile before they were rescued by TWO
young men, who swan out to them. As
the river is very deep and swift it was
almost a miracle that nobody was
