respondence.) One of the trustees of a
local colored church society, Dave
Stokes, refuses to deliver up the books

City politics are warming up. AS usua
there are lots of candidates who are
willing to let their individual bushes;
go and work for the dear people, OF
course, for a slight consideration. There
are three trustees to be elected, and the
candidates so far mentioned are w. A
Hayt. A. S. White, ]. w. Carroll, c. F.
Marcy and p. D. Cover. J. A. Simms
and B. Morse, two of the retiring men,
bers of the board, are candidates also.
All the above are Republicans.
Only one candidate has been spoken of
for marshal, and that is F. P. Wilson,
who now holds the office. He will get
the Republican nomination. For clerk
there are several candidates, among
them being Charles Stibbens, George
Brown and G. B. Kennedy, with the
chances in favor of Stibbens. The only
Republican candidate so far named is
George F. Ward. 1t is generally under
stood that the Democrats will not put up
a party ticket, but will join forces with
citizens who are not favorable to the
work of the Republican machine.

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 5-(Regu-
lar Correspondence A Jail break on u
large scale occurred with the hobo rock
pile artists yesterday noon, but it was
not known in town until night, when the
two guards marched back the force from
the corral with eighteen missing, they
having taken out thrty-four in the
morning. The trick was a very simple
one The work is done inside an enclos-
ure of rough boards about twelve feet
high and located mile from the city.
The guards, William Guy and Mart An
derson, march the men down in the
morning, handcuffed two by two, and
carry lunch for them, which is given
out a the noon recess, the force march
ing back at night handcuffed as before.
Previous to the morning arrival of the
gang yesterday a friend of the hobos
sawed one of the upright boards of the
corral through. When the recess came
for lunch the guards handed out the
package of lunch to each one who filed
by them, and as each one reached the
loose board he stepped through and
made off through the brush that adorns
the river bottom in close proximity. 1t
was not until eighteen had thus secured
liberty that the guards, having complet-
ed giving out the lunch, noticed the di-
minished number and found and closed
the hole. There were about eighty ho-
bos in the Jail and the rock pile gang was
recruited to it's full number again at
once.

ciduous fruit orchards, where the apple
especially grows to perfection. The
property has been leased for years at an

Executive Department, Office of the
 Governor, Phoenix.
 TO perpetuate the memory of a great patriot, and as slight evidence of the love and gratitude all Americans feel for the name of that noble Frenchman who. in the dark days of the Revolution. did so much for freedom and independence. it is proposed to erect a monument to Marquis De Lafayette, to be unveiled during the great exposition at Paris in the year 1900. The idea of erecting a monument over the grave of Lafayette as tribute of this great nation is being received with earnest and patriotic en- thusiasm everywhere. It is conducted un- der the auspices of the committee ap- pointed by the Commissioner of the Uni ted States to the Paris Exposition, and it's supporters and agents include mem bers of the National Government, the Chief Executives and those most closely connected with education in the various States of the Union. The plan adopted is
