ONE OF THEM CAUGHT
jackson Nabbed in Denver-clay Still
atLargs

at Large
RIVERSIDE, March I'D. T. jackson,
q smooth confidence operator, who, with
H. w. Clay. robbed Ike Witherspoon of
this city on a mining deal, is In the hands Of
the Denver police. and he will have to ex-
plain his crooked ways in this county.
Sheriff johnson received a dispatch from
]. F. Farley, chief of police Of Denver,
this evening, saying that jackson was un-
der arrest. 1t is not known in what direo-
tion Clay has gone. He left Cotton day
later than his pal. and 1t Is thought he may
be hiding somewhere in Southern Celifor-
MIA. The baggage of both men is still In
Cotton, which points to q very hurried de-
parturs. sherin Johnson will start for
Sacramento tomorrow for requisition pa
pers, and will go right through to Denver
to bring jackson back here. The sheriff
expects to hear OF Clay's arrest at any mo-
ment.
WE'RE HIGH ROLLERS HERE
The capture Of Jackson will be hailed
with delight by the various mine owners of
this section who were buncoed by him. but
an equal number of people desire to see his
partner, Clay, captured. Thus far nothing
has been learned Of any big turn they sue
ceeded In making. but It Is thought that
the pair were playing for big stakes and
made some kind of highly profitable turn
while In Southern California. They seemed
to reek with money While at the Van Nuys
hotal, for visitor who called on them
says he saw at least $50 in halves, dollars
and quarters lying In bowl on the table.
this money being for fees and petty bills.
They drank nothing but wine and were the
highest kind Of rollers.

Unsatisfactory Paving

RIVERSIDE. March 1s.-The city will
again try to make respectable streets out
of the asphalt pavement, which has so ia.
deteriorated as to be about useless. The
superintendent of streets has been in.
structed to put q force of men at work
making repairs at once. It is estimated
that it will cost something like $500 a block
to make anything like substantial repairs
but the city will not spend anything like
that amount on the work at this time, 70,
the very good reason that the finances ol
the city will not permit the outlay. The
asphalt pavement of the city has been
a costly experiment for the taxpayers
In the first place it was cheap experiment
on the part Of the city and was laid on an
earth foundation and has proved fail
ure. 1t cost $4,000 in the first instance,
and 1t has been In use only about two
years, yet 1t is destroyed.

from the platform in disgust. She was
hooted Off the stage by a very large
gathering Of men and women. who evil
IDENTIFY were not in sympathy with her
plan.
Mrs. Pickering held a consultation
with a few female sympathizers, who
believed they had the right to the hall.
despite the fact that It had been loaned
to the weavers' executive committee,
and it was decided to seek the assist
ance of the police to cject the men who
were in possession, but no officer could
be found willing to assume such au-
thority, and Mrs. Pickering was left
out in the cold, while the regular meet
ing called for all weavers went quiet

President William Cunnane called to

fines question, he said a great deal had

issue, but the fines question would re-
main an issue in the strike until the

present TO refrain from drinking and
