HAVE MADE A PROTEST
A Crusade Started Against the
Sidewalk Dam.
A VERY GREAT DAMAGE
II Has Seriously Injured tho Value o:
Property and the Protestants
Want Il Lowered or Taken
Up Altogether.

Residents Of Maryland avenue and
Iron street. in the southern part of the
city. have started a crusade against the
sidewalk down there, which they claim
is a very great damage To them all.
They nav sent the following protest
into the council:
we. the undersigned properly hold
ers and taxpayers of the city of Butte.
present this petition fer your considera-
ton:
w would respectfully request that
he sidewalk on the west side OF Mary
land avenue. between Iron street and
the Butte. Anaconda & Pacific railroad
tracks. where 1t crosses said G
and which is the only sidewalk on this
portion of the street. be lowered about
one and a half feet. or taken up entire
ly. at the city's expense. as II is now
from two to three feet above the
ground and at least one N a half feet
above the car tracks.
1T has very seriously lessened the
value of the property by which IL
passes because Of its height. and Il
has no railinP so the possibilities of "A
damage suit are not 50 remote al they
might be.
TO make a bad matter worse. min
ing waste has been dumped i'm the
street and next To the sidewalk for a
distance of from -four To ten feet out.
which makes II impossible to drive up
to the sidewalk. making IL a necessity
to go around tn the ext street and
come in from behind to unload any
bulky or heavy articles.
1T has practically ruined the prop
erty at No. SIS from a renting stand
point as the house has remained va
cant since shortly after the sidewalk
was built. and IL has also made IL
necessary To abandon the cold storage
business carried on by the Schlitz
Brewing company. because proper en-
trance TO the door is blocked.
I'VE would respectfully refer you To
Captain Branigan regarding this mat
ter. as he has explained to us tina the
sidewalk is higher han he ever intend
ed IL To he.
IF the city will lower this sidewalk
60 within a foot Of the ground. we will
agree to raise 10 whenever IN grade is
raised to n level with the crossing:
otherwise we would respectfully re-
quest that IL be taken up entirely. as
4; is a damage TO the property and a
menace TO life and limb.
w hope hat o will act upon this
matter as expeditiously as possible"

carols and thinking OF the grand old
time that he's going to have next Sun
day morning when he looks into his
stocking. when he espied lying on the
sidewalk a S95 lady's gold watch with a
braided silk chain and charm attached.
The little fellow hunted up Detective
Murphy and told that officer how he
came into possession of the watch. ard
concluded by saying that he would like
10 have Il cents as a reward.

a gentleman who was talking to the de-

 pr. J. M. Shannon was thrown from his buggy at Fruitvale tonight, and but little hope is held out for his recovery. His wife has been fighting death for some weeks and it is feared that the shock of her husbands accident may be fatal to her.
 As the doctor was returning from a visit to Fruitvale this evening his horse was frightened by Haywards electric car at the junction of East Fourteenth street and Twenty-sixth avenue. The animal, which is a spirited one, jumped toward the track and the wheels struck so heay- fly against the rails that the vehicle was turned over. pr. shannon was hurled against the rails and struck on the left frontal bone, which was completely shat tered.
 The injured man was brought into town on the electric car, and at his office was attended by Drs. Buteau, Porter Mahler and Fisher. The wound on the head was found to be very serious, and the doctors fear that the patient will never recover consciousness.
 Mrs Shannon is seriously ill and for some months her life has been despaired of She will not be made aware of the full extent of her husbands injury un- less such step shall be rendered neces- SarV.

OAKLAND March 5.-Rev w. H.

 This move has been contemplated by the American Baptist Missionary Union, with headquarterS in New York City, TOT sorne lime. but no one knew who was to be chosen for this task until the an ,3ouncement was made last evening at the recention being rendered Rev. E. R. Ben netf at the Twenty third avenue Baptist Church. It created quite sensation, as his own family did not know Of the move. MT. Whitaker made the announcement and stated that the Baptists of the State would be asked to fit the gentleman out for his long and cold trip.
 ''The object in view, said MT. Latour- cite. lis to have me visit, the klondlke and make an eight months trip through Alaska to inspect the field as to needs and onnortunities for religious work among the great crowds who are f1ocking in there by fha thousands. On my return | shall re- mort 10 the board and they will act on such recommendations as l shall make. [ believe l am well fitted for the trip, as I was a pioneer into some of the noun tain counties of this State and know what if is to sleep on the frozen ground and ea re for myself.

The Alumni baseball team finally suc- ceeded in winning a game before San Francisco audience. Yesterday, at Gen. tral Park, they played baseball that sur prised everybody-even themselves. When they packed up their bats and left the field of glory the old college players took the fiattering unction unto them selves for they had administered de- feat to California with a score of 70
 It was ali due to Krug. With krug and a few other seasoned players the alumni played a game that, with but one eXcep- tion was free from errors. In two 1n- nings they found -Kaarsberg and battted out seven runs. The college men, on the other hand were unable to locate Krug- Four hits were made off him, but no runs decorated the California score board. The game was the best played this season by the league of college clubs. The base running was good, the fielding sharp and the errors comparatively few.
 For four innings neither side scored. Then, with Sheehan on third and Lewis on second, old warhorse and rock-drilling Heller fresh from the mines, batted out a single. Sheehan scored, followed soon after by Lewis on a wild pitch by Mien to Baer. In the seventh Sheehan scored again In the ninth, with Lewis, Heller and Krug on the bases, Toby Allen swat ted the spheroid over the fence to the small boys, and the four cantered in to swell the score to seven runs.

The residence of Louis w Buckley, 951 Myrtle street, Oakland was the scene Friday night of one of the most daring burSlaries that has ever occurred in that city MT. Buckley is the assistant super intendent of the Mining Fair, and his du- ties compel him and his wife and son to be present at the fair during the day.
 Friday night when they returned home at midnight Mir. Buckley tried to open the front door usual, but was unable to do. so. His wife then endeayored to open the door, but could not, and upon an examination they found that it had been locked from the inside Mir. Buckley. then went to the rear of the house and founo the kitchen door open. The noise that ne had made in his endeavors to open the front door had given the burglars timely warning, and they had made good their escape.

Mrs. Buckley lost some valuable jewelry, but fortunately very handsome pair of diamond earrings that were upon her bureau were overlooked by the thieves.

KIDNAPPED 4
 YOUNG WIFE -  Fears of Mrs. Lemery,
 the Mother of Mrs. Streuber.
The Girl Told by an Officer She Was Wanted as a
 Witness.
No Subpoena Was Issued and the Child Spouse Is Now
 Missing.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

9OS Broadway, March 5.
 Mrs Dora Streuber is missing and her mother declares she has been kid naped.
 A few weeks ago Dora's husband was sent to San Quentin for three years for placing his young wife in an improper place the day after their marriage. Dora is but Is, and the trial brought out pos tive evidence that Streuber knew what he was doing and the character of the place to which he was taking his wife, while she did not.
 This morning Mrs. Lemery, Dora's s mother, came to Oakland from Fruit vale, where she has been living with her daughter since the arrest of Streu- Der. She says the girl was enticed away from home by man who said he was Constable Jack Robinson, and who fur ther stated that Dora was wanted as a witness in a chicken stealing case in Justice Gifts court to-day. There is a Constable at FruitVale named Jack Robinson, but he is not the man who served the subpoena, and when Mrs. Lemery came to Justice Gifts court this morning she found that there was no chicken stealing case on trial and that her daughter was not wanted for a witness in any case.
 Mrs. Lemery is convinced that the affair was a scheme to get her daugh- ter away from home, and has asked the city and county police to make thor ough search for her. Constable Robin son is also attempting to discover WhC imDerSOnated him.
