 charged with the murder of Al Coolidge
 at Chetco in November, to be released on

 Court.
 In Curry County the Circuit Court has
 but one session during the year, and that in the month of September. Thus the little county was placed in a bad situa- uon-seven prisoners to feed and care for in addition to the prospective expense or their separate trials, and the county already largely in debt and Its script cent For time the difficulty seemed without remedy, but after much cor respondence between the local authorities and the Attorney-General, by some sort of legal process, it was determined that e--e cases were bailable, and upon the procurement of the stipulated bonds of soOO each, the prisoners respectively took leave Of the county boarding house, and are feeling assured that even if convicted and sentenced to hang, the county by that time will not be able to buy a rope for their execution.
 . The present affair is only exampled, perhaps, by a similar occurrence in Curry County some years past, wherein a fellow was under indictment for felony, and the term of court far distant. The county Judge, with diplomatic zeal vis- lted the prisoner, and securing his prom ise, upon the honor of a gentlemanly ras- cal, to return at the appointed time and take his potion, let him go upon his own recogniZance The man returned and the Judge gave him two years at Salem.

ROBS A WOMAN OF HER GOODS Paso Robles Rancher's Method of Fitting Out
 a Home. Transfers the Furniture From Mrs. Whites Dwelling to
 His Own.
Takes Even Her Wagon wherewith to Transport the Stolen
 Effects.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN MIGUEL, Feb. 11.-John Gillis
 was arrested at Paso Robles yesterday
 for crime which for audacity and
 uniqueness can scarcely be euualed.
 Jesse Gillis, his cousin, was arrested also as an accessory.
 During the latter part of January the house of Mrs. Susan White in the Red Hills, near the Kern County line. in the vicinity of Shandon, was broken lntc and nearly the entire contents loaded upon a wagon owned by the woman and hauled off. Shortly after the burglary John Gills, who, with his young wife and baby, had been living with Mrs. Gillis' father, Frank Young a few miles southwest of Paso Robles went to housekeeping near his wife's parental roof.
 This coincidence of the burglary in Red Hills and the making of a new domicile at the Willows, forty miles distant, escaped notice at the time. but officers looking for the perpetrators of the crime suspected that members of the Gillis family, some of whom bear unenviable regulations, were the guilty ones. John Gillis had been seen in the Red Hills, accompanied by Jesse. about that time.
 The fact that John Gillis and family had gone to housekeeping at a place near Young's finally reached the ears of the officers. Investigation showed that John bought no furniture from the stores of this county and none was shipped to him by railroad. His arrest and that of Jesse followed. Constable I. B. Sanders experienced no difficulty Tn arresting John, but Constable w M. Sltton of San Miguel, who was sent aIter Jesse, arrived at night within snort instance Of where he lived and was was compened to make camp. At day light he went to the Suspected n,an,s house and served the warrant IaSsa under pretext of wanting breakfast and changing clothes, tried to escane but failed
 Alter the arrest of John Gilrs Mrs White was taken tc his place and at once identified all of the propertv sto1s en, including her wagon. The articlas were reloaded upon the wagon and re- stored to her home. The distracted and weeping wife, torn from her husband and left without household effects was obliged to return to her father.
 On the day of the issuance of tho warrant for Jesse Gillis at Paso Ro. bles, another one was made out at San Luis Obispo. This charged Jesse Gil- lis with stealing cattle, the evidence against. him being hides and heads of steers he Is said to have sold to Ed smith, butcher of Paso Robles, which were identified by the owner shouId Jesse not be held as an accomplice to he first crime, he will doubtless be con victed of disposing of other peoples stock.
 The men were each placed under '2500 bonds to answer for burglary. Be ing unable to give bail, they are in he custody of Sheriff Ballou.
 F. Gillis. the father of Jesse, lives in he Red Hills spoken of. He has served term in San Quentin. He was a wfd ,wer until recently, when he married a from San Francisco. Jesse is and lives with him.
