RESPITE FOR CLARK
Ten Days Delay in Passing Sentence
Granted by Judge Smith

Harry +. Clark who has been found guilty
of murder in the second degree for the kill
ing of Wong Sing Hay, came before Judge
Smith yesterday for sentence. When Clark's
case was called, District Attorney Donnell
addressed the court and said that he had
come in at the request of Mr.. McComas, his
deputy, for the purpose of stating that
Joseph Hunter had been held to answer to
the superior court without bonds for the
same offense for which Clark had been con.
victed. Clark's attorneys had desired that
sentence might be deferred till the evidence
brought out in Hunters examination could
be transcribed and examined by the court
while considering the motion for new
trial
Mr.. Donnel said he saw no probability OF
such delay doing anyone any injustice. Both
men were in Jail and the brief delay re-
quired would not be harmful to the inter.
ests of the state, and he would therefore
consent, should it be pleasing to the court
that the ten days delay asked for by Messrs
Shnn and Allen, Clark's attorneys, should
be granted by the court. In giving consent
to such continuance, Mr.. Donnell said he
wished to say that he was acting in opposi
ton to the views of Mr.. McComas, who
thought Clark should be sentenced at once
Mr.. McComas expressed a Willingness to
accede to the wishes of his associates at the
bar and not press unduly for the immediate
sentencing of the defendant, and Judge
Smith granted the desired ten days delay.
1t was therefore the order of the court that
he time for passing sentence on Clark be
continued to Nov. Goth.

KoFOED WINS
His Title to Lands in Mob Hill Tract
Affirmed

Others BY series of partial payments and
mortgages and cross-claims, the property
became involved in litigation. Attorney S.
B. Gordon was retained to straighten it out.
In suit against Hubbell, Judge McKin-
ley decided for the plaintiff, the latter to
pay a purchase price of about $1,000. Among
the judgments was one for $25O4, held by
James F. Cosby, which Gordon bought for
5000. Gordon's plan was to levy on Kofoed' S
property. which then consisted in equity of
redemption in portions of the Mob II
tract, and in equitable right by virtue of a
redemption Ill pOrtlOnS OF the NOD Hill
contract with Hubbell for the purchase of
the aforementioned twenty acres. Gordon
was to pay the 5000 as he collected it, anv
residue to apply to Gordon's fee bill.
On the strength of the 5000 deficiency
judgment, Gordon and Cosby levied on the
Hubbell contract and paid the purchase
price, as set by Judge Mckinley. Upon Ko-
foed's return from Mexico he was verv hitter
against Gordon. He employed T. M. Stew
art and sued Gordon and Cosby to have them
declared his trustees by virtue of their ac-
ton in handling his affairs and by Gordon

Mrs. Townsend had purchased part of
the land in controversy, and the supreme
court finds that no error occurred in the

perior court, both being for burglary. One
charged Charles Cole with having entered
the room of May Gaut on North Main street
on Sept 18th for the purpose of committing
larceny, and the other alleged that Carl
Miller had entered the storehouse OF the
Palos Verdes company at Long Beach on
Oct. 2lst with like intention.
Miller lived at Anaheim and had rented
land on the Bixby ranch. Last years drouth
left him without a crop and he was reduced
to poverty. The ranch owner, knowing of
his misfortune, had consented to let him
have the land again this year, but he had no
grain with which to sow it. So, going to
Long Beach, he helped himself from that
stored by the Paos Nerdes company. He
was overhauled on his way home, just be-
fore he reached the county line, and held to
answer to the superior court after eXamina-
tion by the local justice of the peace.

The Largest Hat and Furnish
Goods Store In Los Angeles.
We've
Done 1t

We've talked so much about the ex-
ccllence of our SO Hat that you'll hardly
look at the really meritorious lower
priced grades-s2. so, $500, $3.50 and $1.00.
While we claim (and we know what we
are talking about that our SO Hats are
made from the same stock as the s.
agency Hats; that the trimmings are
the same, and the class of workmen who
make them the. same; the shapes indeu-
tical, and the only difference is the
price
There Is still another class of men we
want to sell Hats to-the men who pay
50, $3.50 and $4 in the high-priced stores
where they sell $5 Hats. We sell splen-
did guarateed Hats for 81, in all styles,
and our $3.50 grades are made for us by
this country's best makers. We think
they're the same as those you pay SO to
81 for in the IS Hat stores.
We don't defy competition-we court
1t. If you are not perfectly satisfied
our prices are the lowest there would
be no object In your trading in a cash
store. If we kept staff of bookkeep-
ers and collectors we'd have to get a
dollar more for some of our Hats.

HISTORIC SPOT.

Connecticut Will Urge Legislature to
 Preserve Wolf Den Wood.
 The preservation of the Israel Put nam Wolf Den Woods is engaging the active. attention of the Connecticut Daughtersfo of the Revolution. The spot has fairly won place in historic an nals. Petitions are being circulated throughout the state asking that the woods be made a state park.
 An old fashioned Windham county woman, who heretofore has scoffed at offers to purchase the place, has been obliged, through financial reverses, to put the famous piece of land in the market Bidding was, limited to coun- try lumber men until4the Daughters of the Revolution heard of its possible ignominiods fate fate aFs ssis sa secured an option. ifiS
 The "den" is on a craggy, precip- itous hill range, bristling with jagged rocks and tangled forests. It is south of the Mashamequetl and between the Newichewanna and BlackwelPs brooks, in the eastern corner of the state. It is an object offinterest to visitors from all over the country The entrance is dark and forbidding, and few care to venture into the interior of the cavern, where the determined country boy slew the she wolf which had terrorized the colonial community for weeks.
 When the. news came into eastern Connecticut that the British soldiers had fired the shot heard round the world, Israel Putnam. was ploughing in stony field on his farm near the Wolf Den" He promptly mounted his horse and deserted the farmstead, then and there, as is pretty we'll known. The old blow vanished from the unfinished fur row, and flor time from history It was rescued not long. ago, however from a Windham county barn loft l dusted and secured, and used by a country hardware store as a sign.
 Then appeared E. A. Brooks of Hart ford an enthusiastic relic hunter, who brought it for song. The plough now occupies an honored position among his collection of curiosities.

THE PLANETS IN 1898.
All May Be Seen Under Favorable

All May Be Seen Under Favorable
 Conditions.
 In the year 1898 the planets may all be seen under favorable conditions. Mercury, the nearest known planet to the sun, is visible only when near its greatest apparent distance from the sun. There are six of these occasions this year, three in the morning before sunrise, occurring Jan. %, May 2S and Sept. 21; and three in the evening after sunset, occurring April. 1O Aug. g and Dec. 8. For few days near these dates the planet may be seen with the naked eye. The most favorable of these elongations is that of April, when the planet will be conspicuous in the even- ing twilight for the first half of the month.
 Venus is too near the sun in direction to be readily seen early in the year, but after March it will be visible in the evening sky. In the autumn months 1t will be very brilliant. After Dec. it will be in the morning sky, and so brilliant as the year closes that the story that the Star of Bethlehem has | dSdlll dppSdItu Is tlhtly lO pS tcpGdtco Mars is near the sun and inconspicu- ous as the year begins. It rises before the sun, earlier and earlier until in De- cember it will be visible in the later evening. It grows brighter also as it hears the earth and will be quite prom inent in December, though not reaching it's greatest brilliancy until early in 1899.
 Jupiter will be in the best position for evening observation the first half of the year The last of March it will rise at sunset and at that time is near est to the earth.
 Saturn will be in the best position for evening observation in May, June and July. The rings will be inclined at a | large angle, the southern half coming l near the edge of the ball of the planet. Uranus may be seen at the same time | as Saturn, as 1t is nearly in the same direction. Neptune is in good position
 in January and February and again in | October, November and December 1 Neither of these planets is interesting
 except when studied with the largest | telescopes.
 | There are six eclipses to occur, three l of the sun and three of the moon, The three solar and one of the lunar are in visible from this part of the earth. The | two lunar eclipses which we may sec l are a small partial eclipse Jan. and g | total eclipse Dec. 27. The moon occults | the planet Mercury three times
 Venus once and Mars twice, but none O these interesting occultations can bt
 seen here. The Pleiades are occultet
 each month, the occultation of Jan. 8
 being visible from New England. O. the ten occultations of Antares that O l April 10 may be observed. No othel bright stars are occulted this year.

CHARTER OAK PARK PLANS.

Famous $10,000 Stake to be Continued
 Futurity Stake Talked Of.
 From all accounts the management of Charter Oak park will not let the good impression 1t made last year die away Charter Oak had the biggest att tendance last year, principally from the fact that the management had the best attraction of the year, but also on ac- count of the fact that W. B. Fasig is a past master in the art of using printers ink. No track can be successful which does not advertise extensively, and Fa- sig has left no stone unturned to reach the public. It is said the management will renew the old S10O00 stake that made Hartford famous. The class has not yet been announced, but it is safe to say it will be made in full accord with the wishes of the horsemen. A. J. Welch and his associates in the new management of the old track are also contemplating a $20,0O0 futurity for three-year-old trotters.

 THIRD-RAIL SYSTEM.
 The application of the third electric rail system between Berlin and New Britain and New Britain and Hartford Is attracting the attention of prominent railroad officials throughout the coun- try, who have similar conditions exist ing on their own lines Before the third rail service was begun between New Britain and Hartford the steam road
 was running eight passenger trains each way daily, carrying about 75O pas sengers, at an average fare of IS cents each way. The electric line was put in operation for business May "A, and up to November 1t had carried 4140O0 pas sengers at fare of 10 cents per trip. Trips are made every thirty minutes from 6 a. m, to 11:30 p. m. daily. This shows a daily average of 2,5S7 passen- gers, at $25S.70 per day, as compared with 750 passengers, at $135 per day, for week days only, when operated by steam. The operation of the system during the coming winter will be watch ed with much interest.
 ACCIDENTS ON ELECTRIC ROADS. The number of accidents have been less than for the previous year, the number killed having been IA instead of 20, as last year reported. a decrease of six, while the number reported injured has been 1S2, as compared with 270, re- ported last year. decrease of SS One company reports decrease of 11S in the number injured, as compared with its report for the previous year. Wheth- CT the change is due to more careful operation than heretofore, or to a | change in the method of reporting ac- cidents, we are unable to say Careful motormen are an important factor ir the safe operation of electric roads and every additional years sexpegience ought to increase their efficiency ano diminish the number of accidents.
