HOLD-UP AT ALIIAMBRA.
Druggist Goodlander Called Out of
Bed to Sell Quinine.

w. A Goodlander, proprietor of a
drug store at Alhambra, was held up
some time on Friday night. He had
gone to bed in tent in the rear of
his store. He was awakened in the
middle of the night by a man who
wanted seine quinine. Mr.. Goodland-
er was not suspicious of his late Gus
toner for calls at all times of night
are frequent and quinine is much in
demand at this season of the year. On
emerging from his tent Mr.. GOodland-
er was confronted by two men one OF
them holding a revolver upon him.
1t looked to Mr.. Goodlander in the
bright moonlight like a thirteen inch
breech loading rife and it occurred to
him that Admiral Sampson might
he had it. Mr.. Goodlander was con-
Quoted into his store. One of the men
picked up a heavy weight to make an
assault on the money drawer. The
druggist pointed out to him the use
lessness of such a violent proceeding
and he opened the drawer himself.
The thieves got about $40 in small
change. They overlooked lot of
dimes and nickles which Mr.. Good
lander had put up in rolls the day be-
fore. He restrained himself from in
forming the robbers of their want of
After they had taken
all the cash in sight they compelled
Mr.. Goodlander to accompany them
down the road to where their horses
were hitched and then they rode away
Both men were tall but that is the ex-

for both wore masks. He notified the
sheriff's Office yesterday morning OF
the robbery and Deputies Standard and
Davenport went to Alhambra but could
get no trace of the robber.

EQUIPMENT OF TROOPS.
It Takes Time. and the President Is
Satisfied With the Progress

Washington, June A denial is made
by high authority that the President was
displeased with the condition of the
troops at Camp Alegr, and that he in
stituted vigorous inquiries as to the 1all-
ure to have the soldiers clothed and given
arms and ammunition.
On the other hand, it is asserted that
the President is satisfied with the pro-
gram for the Quitting and arming of the
troops at Camp A1ger, at Chicamauga,
and elsewhere. This program, it is Of
ficially stated, contemplates the prepaf-
alton of all the troops at one time.
Some of the states have not yet got
their quotas in readiness for transport
alton to the federal camps, and all of the
soldiers called for under the first procla-
nation will not be fully in the hands of
Uncle Sam for several days.
Secretar Alger, some time ago, decided
against equipping and arming the troops
by piecemeal. To have done this at the
respective state camps would have re-
quired the services of numerous quarter
masters and would have rendered nee
essary petty shipments to all points Of
the country. This is obviated by sending
everything to a few big camps, where all
the soldiers can be provided for at the
same time.
1t is admitted that there have not been
sufficient supplies for all the volunteers
and that these are now being prepared
but a portion of the volunteer army
could have been fitted out a good while
ago. This course. it is said, might have
engendered jealousies and called forth
the charge of discrimination

member of the jury said after it
was over that there was little or no
controversy from the beginning
The defendant was somewhat ner-
vous when he was brought into court
to hear the verdict and his nervous
ness increased visibly until the fore
man reached the word mot" in his
reading. There was instant congratu-
lation by the defendants attorneys
and friends and Miss Seass, who came
in moment later, was deeply agi-
tated.
AS soon as the verdict was recorded
Assistant District Attorney Billiard
moved to dismiss the charge against
Aaron Powell of murderous assault
upon Carl Zeck.
Hanson owes his acquittal, perhaps,
less to the satisfactory establishment
of a theory of self defense than to the
absence OF any malice in the killing
and to q singular display of humanity
seldom witnessed under similar cir
cumstances. As soon as he fired the
fatal shot, he looked under the cloud
of smoke and saw Carl Zeck stagger
and drop his gun. He let his ol n gun
fail and when the wounded man lay
down on the bank of a ditch, Hanson
knelt beside him, washed The blood
| from his face and sent a messenger
after a physician. The shooting had
been preceded by hostile demonstra-
| tons by both men. Each had pointed
! his gun at the other, threatening to
shoot and challenging the other to
shoot. 1t was evident that neither
intended to fire until Hanson in mo-
ment of great excitement did fire
without actually taking aim. In view
of this singular incident of the tragedy
the jury might easily have brought it
self to overlook the improperly of
Hanson being on the scene at all.

HANSON ACQUITTED
Relieved Lost Night of the
Stigma of Murder.
a Manifestation of Humanity which
Oufweighed All Other CirCum-
stances of fhe Tragedy.

After a trial lasting just five days,
Albert j. Hanson was last night found
not guilty of the crime of numbering
Carl Zeck. The last day of the trial
was occupied whollytby the argument,
which was opened by Judge Kibbey
for the prosecution. He was followed
by Walter Bennett for the defense,
which was closed by Judge Baker in a
powerful. and as the verdict afterward
proved. an effective plea Assistant
District Attorney Billiard closed for
the prosecution in strong argument,
In the course of which he dwelt upon
a point which had been quite over
looked at the inquest, the preliminary
examination and during the trial In
support of the theory OF self defense
the defense had introduced several
witnesses who swore that at the mo-
ment that Hanson fired the fatal shot
Zeck had raised his gun to level
Indeed. two witnesses swore that he
actually fired and that the report OF
his shotgun could De distingu ished by
its long report from the sharper dis
charge of Hanson's gun Among the
evidence introduced by the prosecution
was a portrait Of Zecks face and
throat, showing the location of the
buckshot wounds There was one
on each side of the mouth, others about
the chin and still others on the throat,
ali of which would have been covered
by his own gun if he had been in the
act of firing, as was alleged. The
assistant district attorney also called
attention to the fact that if Zeck had
been holding his gun in the position
described his arms would have been
directly exposed to Hanson's fire, yet
there was not mark on them. Neither
was Zecks gun marked by shot from
the opposing gun.
The testimony on both sides was
torn to tatters by the attorneys IN the
course of the arguments, but that cir
cumstance evidently had little erect
upon the jury. The assistant dlstrlct
attorney closed before o'clock Inc
instructions of the court were clear
and so voluminous that they covered
every point which had been raised
during the long trial.
The case went to the jury a little
after 6 and verdict was an
uounced soon after o'clock. One
half of these two hours had to be
taken up at dinner, so that the time
spent in actual elaboration was brief.
