Now is the time farmers should be
considering the problem of improving
their stock. Ii costs no more to raise
and care fora good grade of thoroughbred
animal than it does a scrub. You can
not, of course, afford to turn off all your
present stock and purchase thorough
breds, but possibly can manage to buy a
good bull or at least breed to a thorough
bred, and in this way generally work
into thoroughbreds. To this and many
of our leading farmere are working, no.

i imported small herd of the best bred
short horns in this country, especially
selected as general purpose stock, each

Mr.. Burnett, the expert stock man from
Brookings, who is here assisting in con-
Quoting the farmers institute, examided
the pedigree of each animal of the herd
and he pronounced them excellent, was

said there are no better stock bred.

NO MORE GRAF is
FOR CLERKS OF
POLICE COURTS
Charter Makes That
Business Bad.

This years crop of candidates for Police
Court clerkships Is neither as large nor
as varied as IL has been in years past.
Those who are said TO be in line for these
positions are for the most part either law
students or young men of good connec-
tions who are willing to work for nothing
more than their salaries and the benefit
they will derive along their chosen lines.
The reason for IL evidently lies in the fact
that the charter puts the position out of
the reach OF the professional CRATER by
relieving the Police Court Clerk of all re-
sponsibility and shouldering IL upon the
County Clerk. Heretofore the court clerks
have had no other responsibility than
their own. They handled all cash bail
demanded by their respective courts; they
gave receipts for II, deposited II in the
treasury in their own names and gave II
up TO whomever again presented the re-
ceipt. and in connection with their duties
along this line most OF the scandals with
which they have been connected have
the County Clerk is clerk of the Police
Court as we'll as OF the Superior Court.
and all cash bail demanded will go into
his hands by order OF the court AS
County Clerk Deane handles bail money
now. there is not one chance in a hundred
of any acquisitive court clerk getting out
OF office with any of IL lining his pockets.
Instead of returning bail money upon
presentation of the receipt. Deane de-
mands that the claimant be represented
by an attorney, who shall make the de-

FRENNA SHOT
HIS VICTIM
FROM BEHIND
Fatal Bullets Entered
Turner's Back.

Joseph p Frenna, who is on trial in
Judge Cooks department Of the Supe-
rior Court for the murder OF James h.
Turner on the morning of August 29, ap-
pears 10 entertain no apprehension as 10
his fate He sat by the side Of his attor-
neys in the courtroom yesterday and lis
tened to the testimony that may send
him to the hangman, the look of self
satisfaction never for a moment leaving
his face. not even when DR.. Zabala, the
autopsy physician at the Morgue, testi-
fed that three Of the four bullets that
took effect in Turner's body entered his
back. and that the fourth passeu through
his right hand, perforating a bundle of
papers which were clutched therein.
As this evidence. when corroborated, as
the prosecution claims IL will be, effectu-
ally disposes OF Frenna's contention that
he shot Turner in self-defense, one would
suppose that the alleged assassin would
feel somewhat shaky upon hearing il
witness.
In his opening statement to the Jury
District Attorney Murphy declared that
the killing Of Turner was a cold-blooded
assassination, and that the prosecution
would prove that Frenna went TO the
Crocker building on the morning of the
trag sdy for the express purpose and
with the deliberate intention OF commit
ting murder. He said that the prosecution
would prove also that Turner was un-
armed at the time he met his death and
IN no position to defend himself when
attacked: that when the occupants OF
the offices in the building, alarmed by the
shots. arrived on the scene. F'renna was
standing over the body Of his victim as
il lay on the floor Of the corridor with
its back perforated with bullets from
his revolver. and finally that on several
occasions previous to the shooting
Prenna had been heard TO threaten to
kill Turner. The taking of testimony was
then begun.
DR. Zabala was the principal witness at
the morning session. He testified TO the
location of the bullets found in Turner's
body practically as described by the
District Attorney. Other witnesses ex-
amined were George ID. Collins, who was
the murdered mans attorney. and whose
Office the latter had left but a few min
utes before he was killed: John r.
Keife, manager Of the Crocker building
who was one OF the first to arrive at the
scene of the tragedy. and TO whom
Frenna acknowledged the killing; Dep
uty Coroners J. ]. Flanagan and J. F.
Gately, who took charge OF the remains,
and Police officer Russell. who ap-
peared with chart showing the posi-
ton OF the body when found. Mrs. Tir-
ner was also on the stand for a few min
utes. but her testimony was immaterial.
he was killed We're put in evidence. and
the case then went over TIL 10 o'clock this
morning Frenna is defended by W. S.
Barnes and John A. Hosmer. while ex-
Judge Murphy is assisted in prosecuting

MARRIED AT SAN RAFAEL
GAMENESS HAD IT'S REWARD IN
MARITAL HAPPINESS.

If the course of true love does not, as
a general thing. run as smoothly as could
be wished by the loving hearts that beat
in unison. the fault can generally be
ascribed TO either an obdurate parent or
too officious friends.
This may not hold true in all cases
but II will be found TO be the fact I'm the
recent trials and tribulations that have
beset the commencement of domestic life
for Mr.. and Mrs. Al Woods, who are now
living at the Progress. a fashionable
boarding house on the corner of Sutter
and Polk streets.
Mrs Woods before her marriage on the
9Th of this month was Miss Minna Woke,
daughter Of Gustave c. Woke a wealthy
liquor merchant at 307 Clay street, who
stands high in the German social circles
OF this city. Mr.. Woods was and still is
a young clerk in the employ Of the Ore
gon Railroad and Navigation Company
with nothing but his good looks. a heart
heavy with affection and a pocket light
with shekels TO recommend him.
These recommendations proved all suffi-
cient in the opinion of Miss Woke. but her
father, while he had nothing against the
young man personally and admired both
his good looks and the good character
given him by his friends and employers
seriously objected to him as a sultor for
his daughters hand both because he was
too young and because he was not well
enough supplied with the goods of this
WOTlO.
Woods presented his case TO the old
man and urged his pretensions with all
the eloquence of which he was capable.
But IL was no &c. The older Woke proved
obdurate and could be moved TO consent
by neither argument nor persuasion.
There was only one thing to do, and
Woods. like man Of mettle did IL. He
waited until the father had left on one
of his regular business trips to the in
terror of the State and then persuaded tie
daughter TO take a ride over to San Ra-
fael. where they were made man and wife
They returned to the city and taking
apartments at the Progress sat them
selves down TO await the return Of the old
man, who they expected would make the
best Of the situation and the young couple
happy by bestowing them his bless
ing. Thus far the story told by Woods
himself and his friends jibes.
After the return of Woke pere however
there are two yarns Woods claims that
the old man forgave them and all is now
as merry as IL should be after such a
pretty little romance. His friends how
ever, Will not have II that way. They in
sist that Woke has disowned his daugh-
ter and refuses TO have anything TO do
with either her or her husband
Whatever the case. Woods has no rea-
son TO bemoan. He has secured a wife
who is lovely as she Is accomplished. he
has the respect and the confidence of his
friends and employers and a position
