on for trial yesterday. Powers was
charged Jointly with Conley of the bur-
glary Of the shaft house Of Jacob Hitz
In the Zosel mining district in stealing
therefrom a lot of blacksmith tools and
utensils. The evidence on the trial Of
Benson was to the effect that Benson
and Conley were seen at the shaft house
by Mr.. Hitz on the first Sunday OF last
October. At that time Mr.. Hitz left
in the shat house a bellows, a clock, a
monkey wrench and a lot of blacksmith
tools. The tools shortly afterwards
were missed. In February Hitz Iro-
cured a search warrant and with some
officers went to the residence of Ben
son and Conley, about 10 miles north
west of Garrison. and there found the
bellows. clock, monkey wrench and
other tools. part of which were aDso-
lutely identified as the property Of Hitz
which he had left at his shaft house. il

found with Benson and Conley in Ben
sons cabin they claimed that they had
purchased the bellows of a man tray
cling through the country in a Wagon;
that they had gotten the clock CT a
stranger at Garrison, and that they had
gotten the wrench of Patrick Mean
drews, near Garrison. h was shown
however. to be untrue.

but his contention was that Con ey hac

A BAll-BEARING RELIC.

Anaconda Now In Chains.

Anaconda Now In Chains.
Up near the brewery, securely fas-
tened to a hitching post by means OF a
half-inch steel cable wound around the
post and frame of the wheel, stands an
old bicycle, and the bike has a history.
1t was brought to this city about seven
years ago by Dee Scott, who rode it
and took much comfort in riding it.
Later Bart Kennedy bought 1t and
learned to ride on it. He sold it to John
Davies for a song and Davies let II go
for about the same price. These later
transfers were made in the last few
years.
Now the old Victor stands or leans
against the post a dilapidated relic OF
bygone days. Its tires are patched,

DAGO RED AGAIN
Wars and Rumors of Wars on East
Ninth Street


When a hackman rushed into the police
station this morning about ten minutes af
ter midnight and shouted that Miguel Pom
tuso, who resides at the corner of Wilson
and Ninth streets, was being butchered in
the most alarming fashion by Ilario Acuno
with big knife, Officer Tom Rico wasted
no time in speeding to the scene of the re-
ported tragedy. Investigation showed,
however, that things were not really what
they seemed, and the smiling face of the
alleged victim greeted the officer when he
rode up breathless on wheel, making a
record for bicycle riding in that neighbor
hood. The air was full of stories of battle,
murder and sudden death, but it was i'm.
possible to make head or tail of the affair.
Acuno positively denied any murderous
intentions or actions on his part, and indeed
was much injured man himself; for, ac-
cording to his story, Pontuso had assaulted
him most violently with the business end of
of having come into contact with some hard
substance, for his eyes were rapidly assum-
ing the color of fast black"
On the other hand Pontuso still asserted
that Acuno had gone on the warpath with
knife, the blade of which varied from ten
to twenty-four inches, according to the part
of the story as it was Seing told. One thing
only was an absolutely undeniable fact, both
men had allowed drops of grape juice to
trickle down their throats in a somewhat
reckless fashion, and each man assumed an
expression of injured martyrdom which was
beautiful to behold. Officer Rico could see
nothing definite to arrest, however, and left
the combatants breathing vengeance on each
other and swearing in the names of their
several patron saints that the morrow would
see various kinds of complaints for assault
floating around that neighborhood for the
arrest of the other.

KILLED BY A TRAIN
VIM. Burke Struck by Santa Fe
Locomotive

VIM. Burke, driver for the Chicago
dairy, aged II years, was killed by the in
coming San Diego train on the Santa Fe
Pacific road yesterday afternoon shortly be-
fore 6 o'clock. The accident occurred near
the Ninth street crossing. According to the
statement of Engineer George Gordon,
Burke was attempting to drive a milk wag-
on across the track from an open field, and
was some distance from the regular crossing
The train was running at rapid rate of
speed Gordon claims that it was so dark
he did not observe any object on the track
until the engine struck the wagon Burke
was dashed from his seat and fell on the
right hand side of the track, while the
wagon was carried fully thirty feet and
tumbled a broken mass, to one side of the
train. One of the horses was killed outright
and the other badly injured
The train was backed to where Burke lay
unconscious. He was placed on board and
taken to La Grande depot DR.. Clarence
Pierce happened to be on the train and he
examined the boys injuries. Burkes skull
had been fractured and his right thigh brok-
en-. The young man died shortly after Dr..
Pierce reached his side.
~ was sdiu ny the einplOyef OF the hoy
that the young fellow was driving over the
Ninth street crossing when the train struck
the wagon. This statement is denied by
Gordon and some of the passengers on the
train, for they are positive that Burke was
in the open field trying to drive across the
tracks.
The deceased was native of England and
had resided in this city for year. He is
SAID to have an aunt at Santa Monica. The
cody OF Burke was removed to the undertak
ing rooms OF Orr & Hines, where an inquest

The CLIMAX OF AN ALASKAN ROMANCE Id
Miss Clara Suto, Youngest Daughter Of San Francscos Late
Mayor, Married to William J. English, One Of Chcagos
Most Prominent Lawyers

Der Of years ago Miss Sutro was passenger
to Alaska, and on the steamer first met the
man whose names she took yesterday. Mr..
English wrote a. description; of,th9 tripror a
Chicago paper, and on his return to that
city mailed the printed article to Miss
Sutro. The interest she had already felt
in the author was augmented by perusal
of his clever work. He made more journeys
and wrote more descriptive sketches, and
his work was carefully followed by Miss
Sutro. Then came the engagement. The
death of Miss Sutros father postponed the
wedding till this time.
Miss Sutro is a vivacious brunette, of
graceful figure and pretty face She grad
uated from one of the seminaries in San
Francisco, and is highly accomplished. Dur
ing the later years of her fathers life she
Travelled extensively with him, and about
year ago completed tour Of the world.
William j. English is one of the leading
men of the Illinois bar. He graduated
with high honors from the University of
Wisconsin, and at once began the practice
oil law. He is now serving his third term
as first vice president of the Chicago Bar
association, and is member of the legal
firm of English & Heffernan, than whom
none stands higher in that city.
In politics he Is Democrat, ana has
served on the Chicago school board, and
was member of the election commission
that put in operation the Australian ballot
law. As he has recently declined several
positions of honor and emolument rendered
to him by his party, it is believed that he
will retire from active service after his mar
riage. He is a rich man.

The elimination of pretty little romance
occurred last evening at 5 o'clock in the
marriage of Miss Clara A. Sutro of San
Francisco to William j. English of Chicago
by Rt. Rev. Bishop Montgomery of the
street The marriage was entirely private,
no one being present but Charles Sutro,
brother of the bride.
Mr.. English first met Miss Sutro some two
years ago., while on "trip to Alaska with her
father, the late Adolph Sutro. The ac-
quantance ripened into friendship, and
then into the stronger tie that has made
them companions on the longer journey
through life. Mr.. English visited Miss
Sutro in San Francisco last spring on his
return from a visit to Mexico, at which time
they became engaged. The arrangements
Tor the marriage ceremony were made from
Chicago, the bride-to-be preferring to have
it quietly soemnized in Los Angeles to
avoid the notoriety that it would occasion
in San Francisco. She reached this city on
Friday, accompanied by her brother, Charles
Sutro, and Mr.. English arrived from Chi
cago on Saturday. Mr.. Sutro returned
home last evening.
Mrs. English is the youngest daughter OF
the late Adolph Sutro, the millionaire bene-
factor and ex-mayor of San Francisco. Mr..
Sutro's career is part of the history of Cali
fornia since the days of the great mining
enterprises of the early ffties.
The engagement was first made public last
June, when the pretty story connected with
it made quite an impression on all the senti-
mental young people who heard it. A num-
