a Plea of Guilty to Petit Larceny
on Account of the Defend
ants Age.

In the district court yesterday the

state -. Frank Steffanac. charged with

ing stolen box containing money from
the Yukon restaurant. was to have
been up for trial yesterday. but the
county attorney said that, taking into
consideration the age of the boy. and
other circumstances he had decided 10
accept plea of guilty to petit larceny.
Weymire will probably plead to the
minor offense to-day.
At O'Clock yesterday afternoon
Frank Hill. who was convicted of grand
larceny on Friday by a jury in steal
ing some money from the Yukon res
taurant last Christmas day, was
brought up for sentence. j. T. Casey
Hills attorney. said that ii had been
shown in the evidence that the pris-
oner was not yet Is years of age and
that being the ease he should be sent to
the reform school and not to the peni-
Tertiary. Mr.. Casey also said that 1t
was shown by the evidence that Hill
was not directly connected with the
robbery and that he could only be con-
sidered as receiver of stolen goods.
MIR. Trippet said that while it was
true that Hill had testified that he was
only Il years. yet indications went to
show that he was older than II and
that he had kilograms and letters from
the director of the reform school which
stated that Hill had heen an inmate Of
that institution and that he was more
than 20 years of age.
Hill admitted that he had been sent
TO the reform school from Dillon. where
he had taken horse from man who
he stated owed him some money. which
he would not pay. After asking him
some questions in answering which
Hill got badly mixed up as to dates, the
court sentenced him To two and one
half years in the state penitentiary at

A Power Trolley Wire Falls on Horse
and Badly shocks Him.

Yesterday afternoon a great deal of
excitement was occasioned at the cor
ner of Commercial avenue and Main
street, when a trolley wire broke and
fell on a horse, keeling him over. The
horse was a big bay attached to the
Copper City Commercial companys
truck The team was just passing,
when street car came along. In
some manner the trolley got caught in
the wire and the latter broke. One Of
the ends of the wire fell upon the
horses back and the animal was
thrown to the ground.
The iron shoes on the animals feet,
together with the wet condition of the
ground caused the horse tn receive the
full force of the current and the wonder
is that he was not instantly killed. The
affair caused a big crowd To collect and
1t looked for a moment as though there
would be more trouble, but the wire
was removed before any one had been
unfortunate enough to get their hands
on it

A recess of five minutes was taken.
during which the aldermen discussed
the plans and specifications of the new
sewer. Alderman Collins moved that
plans be accepted and that the clerk be
instructed 10 publish the notice in con-
formity with the law. The motion was
carried
Denis Shovlin was granted permis-
sion to address the council The ex-
alderman entered vigorous protest
against the assessment of SIS per lot
in Improvement district No. . He said
that the taxpayers We're very much
dissatisfied with the tax imposed upon
them for the construction of the sew
er. and that il they had had any idea
lnaI the sum would be SO large they
would have made their kick long ago
He himself was taxed on seven lots
amounting to $126. He claimed that
the council had no right to charge the
people more than the contract price
A sewer inspector had been paid 5000
TO walk up and down the alleys and he
would like to know what authority the
council had to appoint an Inspector.
The taxpayers had been assessed on
100 feet that they had no call to pay
They had also been taxed on $50 feet on
Alder street and for all the street
crossings. There was a whole block
against which nothing had been as
sessed. There are great many poor
people in that district and he didn't see
how they were going to pay it. If two
or three of the councilmen were resi-
dents of the district they would proba-
bly, be more alive to the welfare of the

STRUCK OUT.
Death OF Tom Power, the Baseball
Player.

Consumption yesterday caused the
death in San Francisco of Thomas Pow
er, the old-time and popular baseball
player, after an illness of more than
a year.
Tom Power was one of the best
known and most popular of all Califor-
MIA baseball players. He was a plumb
er by occupation, when his playing in
amateur games attracted the attention
of professional managers, and in 1887
he played with the old Haverlys. In
1883 he was Captain and first baseman
of the Sacramento team, and the next
year he played first base and captained
the Pioneers.
In 1890 Power signed with the Raiti-
mores, then in the American Associa-
ton, and played first base during the
whole season. The next year he played
with the Rochester team, in the Eas:
ern League. In 1892 and 1893 he cap
rtained the San F'ranciscos, and in 1890
and 1896 played again in the Eastern
League.
In The latter part of the season Of
1896 his health failed and he returned
to his home in San Francisco. Con-
sumption was hereditary, and it was
found that he was suffering from the
dread disease. Within the last year
his father and a sister died Of the dis
ease. Only a week ago last Sunday a
benefit was given for him, and the great
throng that attended was a tribute TO
his popularity.
Power was a brainy and aggressive
player, and as he never dissipated was
always in condition and could be relied
upon 10 play good ball.
