ILL-sTARRED HORSE THIEF
Steals Rig but Kills the Horse While
Escapinp

An unknown man made determined
effort to steal horse and delivery wag-
on belonging to Sentous Bros. butchers,
at Also and Los Angeles streets, last
night. That he did not succeed was due
to an accident later, in which the horse
was killed and the wagon wrecked.
The horse was hitched in front of the
firms meat store shortly after o'clock
last night. One of the employees of the
store happened to notice a man driving
the horse slowly along the opposite side
of the street and called to him to stop,
Instead of replying, the man whipped
the horse into run and was soon out of
sight. He drove to Main street and
then past the plaza, turning into Sono-
Iratown, all the time keeping the horse
running. At the corner of CASTELAR, and
Alpine streets he tried to make a sharp
turn, and in doing so overturned the
wagon. The horse was thrown and its
neck was broken by the fall A crowd
quickly collected, but none of the peo-
pie knew that the man had no right to
the rig. He hurriedly left the place.
seemingly uninjured, and disappeared
in the direction of the Oil fields. The mat
ter was reported at the police station,
but. as no good description of the man
could be furnished, he will be hard to

name has appeared repeatedly upon the
lists OF directors Of various financial In
stitutions. He was largely interested
in the Citizens bank, and was at one
time vice president Of the chamber of
commerce.
The acquisition of riches had no effect
upon the personality Of the man.. He
was never so happy as when at work,
and no work was too hard for him.
HIS charities were numerous. He was
particularly interested in the work of
the Salvation army, and also in kinder
garten work. He and his wife en-
dowed the Stlmson-Lafayette Industrial
school, an important educational insti-
tuition. How much he gave privately to
charity will never be known, for he
dispensed his charity without ostenta-
tion. In all public movements he took
an active part and was identified with
nearly all the large enterprises started
here In recent years.
The arrangements for the funeral
have not been made. His sons in Seattle
were notified by wire of their fathers
death, and they will reach the city at
noon Thursday. Until then the funeral
announcement will not be made.

asked for authorization to sell the par.
sonage property at 525 South Broadway
The privilege to sell the latter was
granted.
F. NJ. Porter offered resolution au-
thorizing the board OF trustees of First
church to pay to the board of trustees

$4,000 from the sale of First church prop
Ierty and $4,000 from the sale of the par
sonage property, to aid them in erecting
Ia new church home in the Westlake
park section. The conditions of said
gift were to be made by the building
committee of First church. 1t is UNDER
stood that one of those conditions is the
sale of the present Simpson tabernacle,
to which the Simpson officials have al
ready agreed, and it's abandonment as a
Methodist Episcopal church.
A. e. Pomeroy presented resolutions,
which were passed by the conference, di-
recting that the new home of First
church be located on the northeast cor
ner of Sixth and Hill streets, work to
begin soon, so that the new church
will be ready for dedication early in Sep
tember. A unanimous vote was passed
requesting Bishop Newman to dedicate
the new church when ready. At late
hour the conference adjourned.

Shultz on Sound

Prof. James H. Shultz of the state
normal school, assisted by a number of
the students, entertained and instructed
an audience at the Young Mems Chris
tian association last evening in a lect-
ure on Sound" In the realm OF sound.
said the speaker, there is room for much
research in undiscovered fields. We are
deaf to many sounds that more finely
constructed human organism could de-
tect. The usual range of ability to de-
tect sound is confined to hearing those
produced by from 16 to 10, 900 vibrations
a second. Yet in some cases the ability
extends from 10 to as high as 0,OOO vi
brations. Large numbers of illustra-
tions of the principles of acoustics were
given with apparatus prepared for the
purpose, concluding with a series of ex-
periments with singing and sensitive
flames.

lecture on Abraham Lincoln" by Judge

HE MAKES GOLD
But Is Still Hunting for Metal in
Mines

PRESCOTT, Ariz.. Jan. 31.-H. A.
Strong, partner of DR.. Emmens of New
York. inventor of an alleged process Of
transmitting silver into gold, was a
visitor at Prescott today.
Emmens, Strong & Co., recently pur-
chased big gold property in Mojave
county, which they are working. When
interviewed in regard to the manufac-
ture of gold by DR.. Emmens process, he
stated that the company was at present
turning out about $4,000 gold per month
which they sell to the government. He
stated that the company with improved
machinery can produce daily an amount
equal to the present monthly product.
He said that the company had no stock
to sell and consequently did not care
whether people believed or disbelieved
his statement. While the transmuta-
tions of silver into gold is in progress,
the New York firm is engaged in pros
pecting for native gold in Arizona.
