Indians Offender

ing criticism upon indecent newspaper pub
lications in denying pardon to james b.
Wilson. sentenced in December, 1895, in In

and cost for mailing obscene papers. The
President says:
"Denied. This convict was one OF the ed
itors and proprietors and distributor
through the mails and otherwise OF dis
gustingly vile and obscene newspaper His
conviction and sentence were an event dis
unctly tending to the promotion of public
morals, and the protection OF the sons and
daughters OF our land from filth and corrup-
tion at a time when indecent newspaper pub
lications are so dangerous and common.
Everybody In favor Of cleanliness should en-
courage the punishment OF such offenses and
desire that 1t should be more frequently i'm
posed.
while am much surprised by the num-
Der OF respectable people who have joined in
urging clemency In this case, my duty seems
so clear that am not in the least tempted to
interfere with the just and wholesome SEN
tence OF the Court"

CaIifo4nia Lions Move Into . House
 at Sunol,

at sunol.
 San Francisco, May 4.-The cellar of house inhabited by human beings is a strange place for wild beasts to make their home. Yet this has hap pened, far back in the hills, near Sum- ol. Alameda county, where Antonio Nunez, a farmer, lives with his family.
 Antonio is thrifty and industrious. and has prospsred. Two weeks ago he moved from his old home into an- other house that had not yet been oc- cupied. For several days after An tonic and his family had moved into their new home they heard strange sounds apparently coming from the cellar. Antonia was busy with his farm work, and those at the house were engaged in setting things to rights, SO DO effort was made to sscer- tain the cause of the sounds. But when day after day passed. and the noise from the cellar did not cease. Eunez determined to investigate. Though courageous, Antonio IS discreet and he called in few friends to his assistance. Armed with shotguns, they made their way into the cellar They had hardly reached the inside of stone-walled place when from the space beneath the stairway bounded a California lioness. Before shot could be fired the animal escaped through the open doorway. A second later the lion-a big ugly beast-made . jump for the stairway. But this time Antonio was ready, and killed the animal at the first fire. While his friends stood guard at the doorway Antonia made search underneath the stairway and found four cubs. They were as comfortable as kittens, having an old coa. and quilt for a bed.
 Nunez took the biting. scratching cubs upstairs, and for the rest of the day and far into the night waited for the lioness to return, but the brute did not come back. Nunez IS going to try and raise the cubs. The dead lion measured six feet from tip to tip.
