HE WILL NOT RETURN.
Governor of California Refuses to
Honor the RequisftiOn for
Charles DevOll.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1O.-Charles E.
Devoll, of Kansas City. was quietly arrest
ed here a week ago by Chief Lees on a
telegraph request from the above mentioned
city. where he is wanted on a charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Shortly after his arrest he was released on
bail. He claims that he is innocent Of any
wrong doing and that former business as
sociates in Kansas City have invoked the
aid of the law to force him into settle
ment of stock transaction.
An effort to secure extraditfon papers
from Governor Budd was made. but after
investigating the case the governor took
1t under consideration but intimated that
he will not sign the documents.
Charles Devoll will not return to Kansas
City except on his own volition. He was
arrested in San Francisco last Wednesday
on telegraphic request from Chief Hayes
which charged him with defrauding A. s.
Newby. a Stovedealer at nos Grand avenue.
out of $500 in a shady business transaction.
Thursday Detective John Ennis departed
for the California metropolis for the pur-
pose of bringing him back to Kansas City,
but the authorities there refused to honor
his requisition papers. Ennis yesterday re-
ported the circumstances by telegraph to
Chief Hayes and will. empty-handed, re-
port for duty here tomorrow.

days from Bangkok when she encount-
cred squall of hurricane velocity. All
the maStS We're ordered cut down by
the captain, as il was the only means
of saving her, on account OF being
thrown on her beam ends. Every
thing movable on the ship had been
washed over by the tremendous seas
which flooded the vessel.
AS soon as the seas abated the men
set TO work repairing and putting in
to place as much Of the rigging as pos
sible. Under a foresail, mainsail. two
jibs forward, a spanker and mizZen
staysail aft, the captain, knowing Ere

port, decided 10 shape his course in
that direction. When the bark came
into the harbor. following the tow
boat Eleanor. she presented a laugh

enough shipwreck experience 10 last a

A PROBLEM.

Mathematical and scientific problems
will be published in The MIRROR. The
answers will follow the next issue,
The problems are contributed by the
inmates.
A man went to store and bought a
pair of shoes for S498. He handed the
merchant a fifty-dollar bill for the
merchant to take out his pay for his
shoes. The merchant did not have
change enough, so he goes to the bank
and gets the fifty-dollar bill changed.
The man gets his exact change, takes
his shoes and leaves the store. Now
the banker comes and claims that the
bill was counterfeit So the merchant
makes the bill good to the bank. Now
how much is the merchant out in the
transaction?

A MYSTERIOUS LEDGER.

In rummaging around the exchange
editors desk last week among various
valuable (?) documents, we unearthed
a book that had all the appearance of
having received considerable rough
usage. On opening the book where
the title page usually is, all was blank
This aroused our curiosity and think
ing the book might contain either a
secret method on how to get rich or a
pardon without encountering an arm
full of technicalities, we turned over
leaf after Leaf with feverish haste.
On reaching about the middle of the
book we ran across about fifty pages
containing figures and various entries
in foreign language. One side of
the page seemed to represent the DIR.
and the opposite the Cr., while between
the leaves, near the back was an abun-
dance of light hair. We could neither
read the language or understand why
the hair was placed there. Calling in
the deacon" from the composing
room we laid the matter before him,
honestly believing that we had made
an important discovery.
The deacon" looked over about a
dozen pages or so, and, after adjusting
his A-ray securely on the top Of his
bald pate, gave the following decision
"These figures said the Deacon"
represent statistics of gigantic mag
nitude on the subject Does Crime
Pay?' The words pro ct con, you see
at the top of each page, means for and
against. The word ultimus down here
at the foot of the last page, means the
last or, in other words, his last term in
prison. AS to the hair l can't say, but
| presume it dropped there by scratch
ing the head when lacking the neces-
sary mental vibrations to make the
columns balance"
1t seems to us according to the fig
ures, that he got much nearer to the
truth than Andre the Explorer got to
the North Pole. The figures on the
Dr. side of the ledger were almost long
enough to reach around a 100 acre
farm; while on the Or. side it was
hardly sufficient in length to enclose
pasture for billy goat.
Whether the mysterious ledger be-
longed to the retiring editor, we are
unable to say; but if such should prove
to be the case it only confirms us in the
belief that he was a monomaniac on
this subject. JASPER.

table at him when the jury was sworn
and waited for him to call his first
witness.
Mr.. Estabrook called the name of
Baldwin's best witness. He examined
the man as one inspired, and as the ell
der attorney was in position where
cross examination was hardly desirable,
EstabrOok called another of the Bald
win witnesses. He ran through the
whole list of them and elucidated a
series of facts which made the old man
dizzy with suppressed emotion. The
witnesses whom Baldwin had relied
upon to win his case for him were
taken up by Estabrook and made to tell
their stories in such a way as utterly to
annihilate the chances of the defense.
EstabrOOk did not even send subpoena
for his own deserving client, but, turn.
ing over Baldwin's last witness to him,
said that that was his case.
1t was mad thing to do, but it won.
The old judge paltered about in a sad
way for few minutes and then tried to
argue it out with the jury, but failed,
Estabrook's unwilling client getting
verdict in full. The verdict was, of
course, never paid, for Baldwin already
had the plaintiffs acknowledgment of
settlement, but Estabrook's fee was.
Baldwin had to go down in his pocket
and, with the most extreme anguish,
fork over the price of the younger mans
work.
"The only good thing about this
whole affair, Henry he said, in
fatherly way, sis that you didn't call me
to the stand. If you had I'm afraid I'd
not only have had to pay your fee, but
would have been fined for contempt of
court and imprisoned for arson, homi-
eide or poisoning wells"
