ANOTHER CONVICT ESCAPES.
FRED. STUNDER TAKES TO THE
WOODS.
He Was a Trusty, and Took Advan-
tage of His Opportu-
mites.

About s o'clock last evening Fred
StunGer, a convict at the Folsom Pris-
on, concluded he had had about all the
prison life he desired, so he quietly
took to the woods and disappeared.
Stunder had about fifteen months
longer to serve, but he was considered
trustworthy fellow and had been placed
in charge of the prison sprinkling
wagon. This gave him some liberties
that most convicts could not share, and
he took advantage of the situation.
1t was discovered about o'clock last
evening that ne was not where he
should have been, however, and search
was made for him, but without result
other than to satisfy the officers that
he had lit out.
No further particulars of the affair
We're learned last night AS the coun-
try about the prison is covered with
chaparral the guards We're at a disad-
vantage and the probability is that
Stunder is far away from there this
morning.

FOLSOM SCHOOLHOUSE.

proved,

No better evidence of the growth and
progress of a town is needed than to
see it's school accommodations enlarged.
Folsom is growing SO rapidly that a
large addition is about to be made to
its public school. The Telegraph
says:
The contract for the building of the
new addition to the public school house
in this city was awarded to Frank
Fowler of Orangevale for 81 13S, he
being the lowest of six bidders. The
building to be erected will be a frame
structure with a brick foundation fifty
feet long, thirty feet wide and sixteen
feet high, Well ventilated and comfort
able and must be completed by Sep
tember 11th.
The room is to be occupied by the
primary classes, and Will undoubtedly
give the teachers a better chance to
handle the scholars. Besides this work
the trustees intend to improve and re-
pair the old building, and make every
thing as comfortable as possible for
the coming term. The work on the
building will be commenced at once.

destroying WateTmelOns in a patch own
ed by a Japanese at Eighteenth and

While the Jap identified the youthful
marauders as the same who had raided
his patch each of the boys testified
that he was at no time off of the street,
and had no hand in the watermelon
business.
Justice Davis said that while he was
morally certain that the youngsters
were implicated in the matter, there
was a bare possibility that the Jap s
identification was not to be relied on.
and he would give the boys the benefit
Of the doubt and discharge them. He
warned Lanigan, who has been in the
Police Court before and who is sup
posed to have led the younger boys
into mischief, that he had it
in for him, and that in the future it
would take no very strong evidence
against him to secure a conviction.

FRESNOS HAD A WALKOVER.
CORKERS DISAPPOINTED OVER
A PITCHER.
To-Day, Overmeyer of Lodi Will Do

The handful of people who attended
the ball game yesterday afternoon at
Oak Park saw some good ball playing,
but unfortunately for the Corkers the
Fresno boys did most Of il and won by
a score Of II To 6.
Thompson. the left-handed pitcher,
is not large man, but when it comes
10 pitching he is as big" as any OF
them. For the first five innings he
kept shooting the ball over the plate
so fast that the home boys could not
connect with il safely, and made bnt
two hits off him in that time and were
unable TO score.
After the fifth inning Thompson be-
gan to pitch curved balls, and let up
IN his speed, and the Corkers hit him
more successfully and piled up six runs.
The Fresno Club is the best aggrega-
ton that has appeared here for years,
every man in the team is good throw
CT and they keep the ball moving at a
lively rate. Chance is the surest
thrOwer ever seen in Sacramento and
he throws the ball 50 hard to the second
baseman that he fairly lifts that play
er off his feet. Chance caught the first
five innings. and then played shortstop.
where he piled up two of his errors.
Taken all together, the Fresnos out
class any team in the State They have
splendid team work, are grand fielders,
and hitters from away back and run
the bases like colts
The Fresno team brought pitcher
Monroe with them, and he was in the
box for the Corkers. Had he been
given better support he would have
kept the score down much lower, but
hits and errors invariably came togeth-
er and the mischief was done.
Schaw played a fine game at short
stop, some of his stops being simply
marvellous but his arm is 50 lame that
h. cannot throw across the diamond.
AiVord caught a good game, and threw
well to bases, although his throwing
suffered by comparison with that Of
Chance. Rice played a fine game in
the outfield, accepting four difficult
chances, and at the bat he raped out
three hits, including two long three
baggers. Harry Oman umpired the
game in fine style, his decisions being
uniformly correct and he kept the play
ers moving so that the game was
played in one hour and thirty minutes.
