THE QUARANTINE MODIFIED.
TERRITORY FREE FROM SPLEN-
ETC FEVER.
Former Order of the Secretary Of
the Interior Was Based on
transformation.

Some time ago the Secretary of Agri-
culture issued an order establishing a
quarantine line that included the whole
State of California. and prohibited the
sending of cattle out across the
boundary into other States The OBJ
ject was to prevent the spread of
splenic or Southern fever into other ter
ritory.
An agent of the Government had been
sent out from Washington TO examine
and report, and instead of letting the
State Board of Health or Governor
Budd know what he came for, he fin
ished his work and reported on his re-
turn that the State was affected with
the fever. and as a result the whole
State was quarantined.
A trainload of cattle shipped from
the State in ignorance of the order was
stopped at Omaha by a United States
agent and slaughtered in order to pre-
vent contagion, and complaint being
made to Governor Budd of the injus-
tice done, he communicated with the
Secretary of Agriculture on the sub
ject, stating that the whole State was
not affected. and that to enforce the
order would work a great injustice and
hardship on stock raiSers, and would
shut them entirely out from their mar
ket in the States east of this, and also
prevent them from driving their stock
across the border into Nevada and Ore
gon when feed became short in this
State.
DR.. Ruggles of the State Board of
Health was appointed to investigate
the matter, and later another agent was
appointed. and their report was such
that the Secretary of Agriculture agreed
that if the State would appoint an
agent he would also appoint one, and
they would make a joint investigation
of the matter and make a report. This
was done. and the Governor appointed
C. J. Cox son of ex-senator Fred Cox,
for the State.
Before this, however, the Secretary
had modified his original order so as to
relieve the part of the State north Oh
Colusa from the quarantine, and allow
cattle to be shipped from it to otner
States.
The report of Mr.. Cox and his CO.
worker has been made. and as the re-
suit the Secretary has made a new
order. still narrowing the quarantine
limits so that now a line Is drawn
starting at the Golden Gate and follow
ing the north side of the bay TO the
Sacramento River. up that river 10 the
southern line of Suffer County. thence
east along the southern line OF Sutler,
Placer and FL Dorado Counties, along
the east line of Amador and CalaVeras
Counties, along the north and east ilne
of T'uolumne County and down the east
line of Fresno and Tulare Counties ana
the north line Of San Bernardino county
to the State line
All the territory north and east OF
this line is free to ship cattle to any
part of the United States. This IS
a very important concession, as lhat
part of the State is very largely en-
gagged in stock raising, and the restrlc-
ton heretofore existing has peen
great damage to the stockmen.

AGAIN IN JAIL.
Ex-Convict Fred Townsend Arrest
ed FOR Robbing a Woman.

Fred Townsend, an ex-convict and
one Of the gang who held up and
robbed the street car company's office in
this city three or four years ago, is now
in jail at Redding on a charge of rob-
berry.
Townsend received a light sentence
for his participation in the car-off1ce
robbery because he had turned States
evidence against the rest of the gang.
1t was made TO appear that he was a
goody- goody youth of weak intellect
who had been led into crime by more
experienced and designing criminals.
Last week Townsend who had been
employed as a trumpet-b blower in "A
Redding saloon, went out riding with
a woman of the town. Both got full,
and on their return to Redding he
snatched her purse, containing $50 and
fed but was captured.

and surrendered himself, saying that
while on drinking bout he had used
some of the firms money, and had come
on to this State when he found out

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 sos Broadway, Aug. s.
 On Bray avenue is a remembrance Of the great work outlined by the late Sister Russell of San Francisco but which she was in her lifetime unable to carry out Nearly four years ago Sister Russell was convinced that the work of the Old Ladies' Home in San Francisco had far outgrown the quarters in which 1t was To- cated. She conceived me idea Of erecting vast structure in the diocese which would be able to accommodate for many years all the aged women who were worthy of assistance.
 Sister Russell obtained the sum of about s30, ,O0O and had plans made which called for a very handsome and imposing brick structure. In discussing the matter at the time Sister Russell> stated that there would be no difficulty in obtaining the money for the remainder of the building should the foundations be laid Contracts were let for the foundation of this great building, and a site was procured near the foothills at the north end of Bray avenue, FruitVale. The excavation work and the concrete foundations were laid and cover a great amount of ground. Then the work ceased. The great financial panic which swept over the country soon after the accession of MT. Cleveland was felt most keenly by charitable institutions and Sister Russell was disappointed in not re- ceiving the help which under other cir cumstanceS would have been extended to the home.
 The foundations are still awaiting the superstructure The cement work is of such a nature, however, that the ravages of a century could have no effect upon 1t.
