CUPID IN A BOTTLE.
The Ohio River Assists Lonely
Young Woman to Find
Husband.

Miss Edna House, of Bromley, near
Cincinnati, was an ambitious young
woman, who on one September after
noon became tired OF single blessedness
and resolved to secure herself hus-
band.
She cast bottle upon the waves of
the Ohio, in which, before sealing, she
had placed a note which read:
1.-THE finder of this will please correspond
with me at once. i am lonely because the
Bromley boys are too slow.
EDNA HOUSE"
The missive danced along until it
was lost to sight, and the young damsel
had almost forgotten its existence when
one day month later she received a
note from John Eggleston, farmer of
North Bend, Ky, which stated that he
had found the bottle and intended to
comply with the note found therein.
He did so, and an exchange of photo
graphs followed.
Shortly afterward Bromley people
were startled by the appearance one
Sunday afternoon of new rig in front
of the House homestead. and investiga-
ton revealed the fact that Eggleston
had come to make the acquaintance OF
Miss House. Since then frequent visits
have been made, and the gossips oi
the town predicted speedy union ot
the two young hearts.
The expectations were realized one
day lately when Eggleston arrived il
town dressed in his best, and soon the
two were seen vending their way
toward the Office of Squire Anderson
where they were married.

The officers believe they have made a
roundup of the parties who were impli-
Gated in the Gro Grande hold-up early
Wednesday morning on the Santa Fe rail-
road. Four men have been captured and
all were brought to this city last night on
special train and lodged in the county
Jail. The outfit are United States prisoners
and will be prosecuted by the government
on charge of rifing mail pouches. For
this offense the maximum penalty is life
Imprisonment. The names of the men now
in custody are Paul Jones, who was found
wounded down the embankment from the
train; Clyde Bennington, his alleged part
rer in the actual hold-up; Theodore Chill
son and A. Casner, who are being held on

ment. Mott stood on this side with his
shotgun in hand, waiting for an oppor-
tunity of beginning the fight. The day
had begun to dawn, and by the dim light
he could make out a man standing by the
front platform of the express car, rifle In
hand. He seemed to be talking to same
one that was between the mail car and
the tender, and who is thought to have
been engaged In coupling the engine to the
train. Mott took good look at the man,
as did those on the other side of the car,
and all agreed that 1t was one Of the rob-
bers, whereupon Mott fired point blank,
and was rewarded by seeing him fall.
Just how poor Clifford met his death will
probably never be known. He was found
near his engine, lying face downward. He
had been struck by some Of the buckshot
afterward found down the embankment.
1t was thought by some that Clifford had
been trying to couple the tender to the ex-
press car, and had stepped out from be-
tween the coach and tender just as Mott
fired, and. being in range, received a por-
ton of the charge In any event, the
death of Clifford was an unfortunate part
of the affair, both on account Of the worth
of the dead man, and because of the loss
of the most material witness against the
prisoners. Clifford was the only man who
could positively have identified the rob-
bers, and determined whether or not
Jones was one of them, or was merely
standing near by when shot, as he has
claimed since the affair.
Jones rolled down the embankment prob
ably twenty feet over the sharp rocks. He
had been badly wounded, two buckshot
having struck him in the left side of the
neck and ranged downward. His fore
head had been nipped by a bullet also.
Clifford had been shot In the head. When
discovered Jones had a 32-4O Winchester
with him. A mask made of overall cloth
was also found across his body, and six
sticks of dynamite done up ina parcel were
recovered from one of his pockets. The
body of Clifford and the wounded bandit
were placed on the train, which came on
to Victor, where the alarm was given.

annual convention of the State Medical
society concluded it's three days session
in this city tonight The next annual meet
ing will be held at Del Monte. Today a
resolution was introduced to censure Drs.
Potter and MacMongale for the fight on
the floor yesterday, but the resolution was
promptly tabled, so that it would not be-
come a part of the record. Little business
was done today, as in the afternoon the
doctors were taken for a drive through the
vineyards. This evening brief session
was held at which the papers for the meet
ing were finished. A discussion was had
about certain minor changes in the by

at La Grande depot at o'clock last night
They were met at the train by United States
Deputy Marshal Oakes who helped Mar
shall Pourade with the prisoners. The men
were all unconcerned, however, and evi-
IDENTIFY understood that Pourade was pre-
pared for any emergency, even If they had
had any thoughts of escape. He did not
put single iron on any of them and had
not one been acquainted with the circum-
stances of the case and the personality Of
the prisoners it would never have been

ious crime were in the crowd. Bresee Bros.

The Prisoners
Clyde Bennington is the youngest of the
quartet, and he maintains almost stocial
silence He refused to make any statement
last night and though not more than 20
years of age, is believed by tine officers to
be possessed of an exceptional amount Of
grit and is, in the parlance of the street, a
"wise guy when it comes to keeping quiet
about himself,
'All that have got to say" he stated, is
that I am innocent of everything I was
asleep when the hold-up took place and l
know nothing about it."
Jones was accompanied by his father.
who is a prosperous rancher living near
Orc Grande. Jones was feeling too ill to
make any statement when he arrived at
the county Jail, but his father stated that
of the hold-up while walking home. The
old man seemed greatly depressed over the
affair and while manifesting the deepest
interest in his sons condition, did not essay
to attack the officers for the part they
have taken in the matter. He expressed
himself as indignant. though, over the re-
peated removal of his boy who is paralyzed
from his waist down, and stated that the
officers had no right to disregard the rights
of the sick man to such an extent Jones
is in a serious condition and 1t is not ex-
pected that he can survive his wounds.

of age, and runs a saloon at Orc Grande, II

Casner served with the posse of Sheriff
secured the country for miles around the
scene Of the hold-up. When searched at
the county Jail last night $65 was taken
from him. Casner explained the presence
of this sum by passing reference to some
man who had paid him $40 bill yesterday.
What Chilson Says
Chilson resides at Victor He has not
been engaged in any business for several
weeks, but up to the 5th Of this month was
a partner in a livery stable. He is a
quiet, unassuming man, and is probably
40 years Of age. He formerly lived in
Santa Ana. Chilson was interviewed on
the way to the county Jail, and talked
with freedom about the affair.
II am innocent of any part in this rob-
berry" said he. "Of course there is moth
ing to do in the matter now but wait
trial. I have never been arrested before
in my life, and feel the disgrace of such a
thing. The first learned of the hold-up
was when the constable at Victor called
at my house and told me about it, and
asked that I go and get the Indians, who
were wanted to do some trailing, 1 sup
pose This I did, and then went back
home and remained there for while. ]
went to the platfopm and saw the wounded
ed man, but had no idea who he was until
went UP to him. I was greatly shocked
and surprised, but did not converse with
him about the affair.
II suppose the reason that the officers
have tried to connect me with the robbery
is because have known Jones ever since
he was small boy, and was out with him
last week. He had been butcher, but
on account of being unable to get any meat

An Accident Prevented

George Yoe and G. G. Jones, drivers of
trucks for the Citizens and Los Angeles
transfer companies, averted serious acci-
dents Yesterday afternoon by presence Of
mind. In the case of Yoe a four-horse
team started to run down First street.
but Yoe ran the truck into bank of NOR
tar and brought 1t to a standstill Jones
pulled his truck across First street and
stopped a runaway team belonging to
Cross. AS the streets were crowded at the
time OF both affairs, it is likely that some
people would have been injured had not
the teams been stopped.

was seen by the train men escaped on one
Of these animals. What was done with
them is important alike to both the prison.
ers and the officers. Regarding the culp-
ability of Jones, the officials are not wor-
rying much. They are satisfied that he and
the robber who stood guarding poor Gift
ford are one and the same individual, anu
to tell the truth appearances are certainly
not in favor of Jones. AS soon as he re-.
gained consciousness though, after Mott
shot him, Jones asked why he had been
shot, and said that he had been searching
for lost horse. To the officers he claimed
that he had been out on the desert locat-
ing a water hole and that his horse had
got away from him. He had been walking
home, and was about two and a half miles
from there, when he heard the shots of
the robbers at the hold-up, and had nat
urally gone back to see the cause of the
trouble. When asked about the presence
of the mask, he did not offer any expla-
nation, nor was he very lucid on the bundle
of dynamite. AS the officers were advised
by the physicians that Jones should be re.
moved to San Bernardino, he was sent
there yesterday.
Two More Arrests
A big surprise was caused both in Vic
tor and Orc Grande yesterday morning,
when Chilson was arrested at the former
and Casner at the latter town by Marshal
Pourade. Just what the officers have
against these two men is not known.
other than that both were intimates OF
Jones and had been seen in his company
few days previous to the attempted hold
up. There are other circumstances con.
nected with their relations which make
things look unpleasant for the prisoners
but on these points the officers are reti-
cent. They admit, however, that neither
of the men are suspected of being direct
ly concerned in the ROBBERY, but that, on the
contrary, they put their younger acquaint-
ances up to the business and remained
under cover and safety while the deed of
danger was being attempted.
The men were taken to San Bernardino
on the special train and the other prisoners

The Hospital-Poll Tax.

Much dissatisfaction is expressed
all along the line in this county at
the collection of the So hospital
poll tax, and we understand that
it is to be brought into the cou rts
to be tested this fall. Compla int
is made that the county does not
maintain a hospital proper, but pm
ly a poor-farm for the maint en-
ance of the INDECENT poor, and fur
ther that in order to get the be ne
fl of the poor farm the subject has
to take paupers oath, which cry
naturally sticks in the craw of the
average taxpayer. 1t is clail ned
that in collecting this tax the
county should obligate itsel { to
maintain a county hospital for
the sick and injured who may
demand its benefits, ON the pri inci-
pie of the hospitals maintained by
the big mining companies, W here
a hospital tax is collected from the
mems wages, and they thereby be.
come entitled to admission anc
treatment in the hospital in the
event of sickness or injury. AS il
most all cases, there are two sides
to this proposition.
