FLAHERTY'S LUCKY ESCAPE.
The Crowd Dispersed Without Lynch

SAN MIGUEL, May 16.-Never in the
history of this community has it been
SO stirred up as by the assault upon
Fredriecka Judy, the thirteen-year- old
daughter of Rev. Martin Judy, pastor
of the First Methodist Church, by Pat
rick Flaherty, a young tramp, yester
day afternoon.
After his arrest, Flaherty was posi-

by the appearance of Fredriecka's al
legged assailant on the banks of the Sa-
linas River.
He was hurriedly taken to the town
Jail and locked up. Rumors of the out
rage quickly spread, and in a remark
ably short time a large crowd assem-
bled outside the Jail. No general dem

bers of the crowd giving vent to an oc-
casional cry of Lynch the brute" and
Hang him.

BEET SUGAR SEED.
The Supply for Distribution by the
Government Exhausted.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The beet
sugar seed which the Agricultural De-
partment has been distributing has
been practically exhausted, about TO-
600 pounds having been sent out to
farmers in about four-fifths of the
States. The seed has been distributed
in packages of from one ounce to half
pound, purely for experimental pur-
poses. The beets grown from the seed
will be analysed and the saccharine
matter determined, to ascertain where
beets can be proftably grown for the
production of sugar.
These experiments. ii is said, will be
of immense value, as the beet undoubt-
eddy can be produced with profit in
many of the States. Wherever ii can
be so produced it will give the farmer
a new crop. All the surplus vegetable
seed in the possession of the Agricul-
tural Department is being distributed,
through Congressman or Government
agency, to the people in the flooded dis
tricts along the Mississippi for plant
ing as soon as the waters subside.

An Interesting Night in Store For the
Olympic Club.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16-The
Olympic Clubs tournament next Tues
day night will be full of interest. Ba-
ker who is more than anxious to regain
his lost laurels, meets Jeffries; Lawler
will fight Riley, and Mike Leonard, the
pugilistic Beau Brummel, is to try con-
clusions with Cans. All the men have
trained faithfully for some weeks past,
but eased up in their work yesterday.
The McKeever-Green fight, billed for
the 10Th inst, is causing a good deal of
comment. Though the local man has
many friends, who will not consider the
possibility of his defeat, it is generally
conceded that his present opponent is
the hardest game he has ever run up
against.

MADE GOOD THEIR PROMISE.
POLICE STOP A SUNDAY GAME OF
BASEBALL IN CLEVELAND.
The Players and Umpire Arrested at
the End of the First
Inning.

CLEVELAND, May 16-The police
made good their promise to prevent
Sunday baseball in Cleveland if an at
tempt was made to play to-day. At
the end of the first inning between the
Cleveland and Washington teams all
the players on both sides and Umpire
Hurst were arrested and taken to the
Central Police Station, four miles dis
tant, where President Robinson gave
bail for the prisoners and they We're
released.
The game had been extensively ad-
vertised, and in consequence there was
q big attendance. The turnstile showed
that 10000 people had passed the gate.
It was impossible to admit any more
without letting them on the field, and
the gates were closed, while at least
5000 persons clamored for admission.
At a conference this morning a pro-
gramme had been arranged by the po-
lice and President Robinson of the
Cleveland club. Accordingly, when one
inning of the game had been played.
Police Captain English and President
Robinson walked on the field. The
Captains of the two teams called their
men, Robinson told them to get into
their omnibuses and go to the station
At the first sight of the police, some of
the spectators Kissed and yelled, Put
them out" but very few understood
what was happening.
Most of the spectators remained in
their seats thinking the players would
return and the game be resumed At
last it became apparent that the game
had been declared off, and about half
of those present availed themselves of
the opportunity to get their money back
the Others being content to retain the
coupon emitting them to see the game
tomorrow or the next day.
The players took their arrests good
naturally. 1t is probable their cases
will be called in the Police Court to-
morrow morning. They may be con-
tinued, in which event another attempt
may be made to play next Sunday, all
though President Robinson has no
definite plans. 1t is announced that the
players will be arrested again next
Sunday or as many times as they try
to play.

Allen of Nebraska humorously declared
there was no division in the Populist
ranks on the question of Cuban lib
erty. In this whole matter, he thought
there had been too much sacrifice to a
spirit of commercialism and it was time
this Government has little more hu-
mainly and little more Americanism.
DR.. Kent Mrs. Lincoln, Vice Director
of the Women's League and Rev. How
ard Wilbur Ennis also made remarks.
Ex-senator Butler of South carolina
read series of resolutions which had
been prepared, and these were unani-
mously adopted. They earnestly pro-
tested against the "barbarous and in
human methods of Spain in conduct
ing the war in Cuba, declared that this
Government should recognize the insur-
gents as belligerents and that Cuba had
demonstrated that it was her manifest
destiny that, like Mexico, she should
be free and Independent without the
payment to Spain of any indemnity.

With a Ratchet, and Afterward

SALINAS, May 16.-One of the most
terey County took place some time last
night about quarter of mile from
Castroville j. S. Cole, teamster,
was arraigned yesterday at Salinas for
having abandoned his five-year- old
child. He gave bail and together with
companion named Nick 1oyman
drove to Castroville for the purpose of
finding his wife and making peace in
the family. Upon arriving at his des-
tination about 9 o'clock in the evening,
Cole found only his wifes sister Mary
Perez, aged -, and two children at
home He returned an hour later
however, found his wife there and af-
ter some conversation proposed that
Mary Perez accompany him to town
after bottle of whskey. Mrs. Cole
objected but the couple finally started.
Ioyman meanwhile remained with Mrs.
Cole.
About 3 o'clock this morning Cole and
the girl returned in a cart and Mrs.
Cole and Ioyman, who went to the
roadside to meet them, found that Cole
had completely covered himself with

side the cart, with the leg wedged be-
tween the springs, Mrs. Cole threw
aside the blankets and found her sister
apparently resting on Coles breast.
Mrs. Cole said: IF you have got my
sister drunk I'll get even with you"
Ioyman meanwhile made closer ex-
animation of the girl which resulted
in the horrifying discovery that both
her eyeballs were sticking out of the
sockets, fiecks of foam We're standing
on her lips and that she had evidently
been brutally murdered. When 10y
man exclaimed: Why, the girl is
dead" Cole replied; She's dead drunk. d"
After Ioyman had carried the body in
the house a closer examination revealed
the fact that the dead girls clothing
had been torn into shreds, indicating
that she had fought desperately and
been roughly handled by her assailGnt.
There were marks under her chin and
on each side of the neck which resem-
bled thumb prints, while the neck and
face were badly swollen. Ioyman kept
Cole under cover of his pistol until the
arrival of a doctor and Constable Nc
Guigan. The latter placed Cole under
arrest and lodged him in the County
Jail at Salinas.
The Coroner will hold an inquest to-
morrow.

almost to a waterspout. caused a sud-
den rise this morning in all the small

wooden trestle. The foundation works
supporting this trestle was undermined
by the sudden rise of the little stream
which flows through the gulch. and the
trestle went down under the heavy
weight of the train. SO great was the
speed of the train, however, that the
engine and tender the express, mail and
baggage cars and one passenger coach
passed over the narrow chasm, though

mediately in front of the Pullman, was
left standing directly over the chasm.
