 many other citizens believe so," wac the reply Of MT. McCurdy.
 We will hear the proofs, said the court.
 But before proceeding Justice Fay Tor asked to have the district attorney called to conduct the prose. uJion. h response to summons that official shortly appeared ln the court room. Judge Taylor handed him the papers in the case and recited the various stages through which it had passed. After delioerating moment Colonel Harlow said:
 May it please the court l shall in- terpose motion to dismiss the case, on several grounds: First, the war rant was issued and the arrest made without approval Of the district at torney. SecJion of Act No I9 of the Seventeenth legislature, provides that no justice of the peace at the county seat shall issue warrant without ap- proyal of the district attorney and 1t prohibits the board of supervisors, from pay ing for service of such war rants or trial of such cases. This act is intended as bar to frivolous pro- secutiOns like this. And Igiye notice | l ment by the county oi aDy of the costs in this case, and if the board of SUD- eryisOrs persists in paying them l shall sue the memoeTs of the board aud their bUndsmen to recover the money to the public treasury. This prosecution bears upon the face of it the stamp of malicious per secution. The laws are made to pro- tect citizens, not for their persecution. The complaining witness, UllmaD, was the instigator, the man in the background, Of d most brutal as- sault upon the editor of THE OASIS which was tried before your honor la. t week. The evideace before the court then was that at the time of that as- sault they threatened him with fur ther violence. Colonel Bird consulted me, and q number of his friends be- side, and we have all advised him that it is his duty to himself and family, his duty to the public his newspaper is so ably serving, not only to arm himself, but to protect himself to the fullest extent against farther crimin- al assaults.
 This persecution is right in line, with other prosecutions which are in- tended to be put upon Colonel Bird. Within an hour 1 have heard it said that prosecution Is intended upon charge of smuggling the cane in ques- tion. Now all these petty 9nnoyances will sooner or later lead to serious trouble. Colonel Bird is peaceable, law-abiding citizen, and in the con duct of his paper has kept within the law. If he has not the law will pun ish him in it's own due course and in a proper way. These annoyances which have been invented to punish him cannot be allowed. If persisted in they will lead to serious trouble. 1 don't propose to have the taxpayers of Santa Cruz county mulcted to satisfy private spleen. ask dismissal of the case"
 Judge Taylor granted the motion, dismissing the case, saying that ''the Court usually preferred having a case tried out, but tn put a stop to such frivolous complaints as this it would be dismissed"

A Thrilling Tale.

San Francisco, Oct. 27.-Mrs. P. w.
Patton, the wife of Captain Patton.
whose vessel, the American ship George
B. Stetson, was burned at sea off the
coast of Formosa about two months ago,
has just arrived here, tells a graphic
story of. the destruction of the vessel.
She was the only woman aboard:
II did not understand at first when
the alarm was given" said Mrs. Patton,
"but a moment later my husband came
into the cabin and told me to hurry and
clothe the baby and myself for a trip in
an open boat. BY the time l was CLOTH
ed and reached the deck the flames had
got aft as far as the mainmast and the
rigging almost above my head was al
ablaze. The long GOA was in the water
alongside with eight of the crew. Just
as l got into the boat there was a loud
roar and the skylieht and roof of the
cabin was lifted off by an explosion of
the gases that had formed in the room
aft. A moment later the whole ship
was a mass of flames and as we pulled
away the mainmast fell. A few min
untes later there was a roll and the ship
went Town. Two days and two nights
we were in that boat. About noon of the
second day we saw and and that even

The police are very much inclined to be-
lieve that the $500 roll which George r.
Davis, a sportive stockman, claimed to
have been relieved of in the bad lands
last night, was a picture that had been
painted on his brain by the excessive use
of alcohol. He claimed that HI engaged a
room in a lodging house in the Tenderloin
quarter, and during the nigh some one en-
tered the room and took his pocketbook,
containing in all $5G5 in paper money. The
case was thoroughly investigated today
and the police came to the conclusion that
no robbery had occurred.
frank Hope, a vagrant, was sentenced
to 10 days In the county Jail, and Peter
Flora. also charged with vagrancy, ex-
hibited the horny hands of a working man,
which were his passports to liberty.
Jerry Lowney, charged with having ma
iiciously broken a showcase, took "a hours
to plead, and Richard Dwyer, a boy who is
charged with having stolen some groceries,,
entered a plea of not guilty and will be
tried Tuesday.

LARGEST FISH IN THE OCEAN.

The biggest fish that swims is known
by seafaring men as the basking shark,
from it's habit of lying for hours on top
OF the waves when the Weather is calm,
basking in the sun. Scientific men call
this fish the rhinodon. They say it's
extreme length is 40 feet. but there are
plenty of old salts who swear they have
seen "baskers' 60 feet long. Huge as
the basking shark is. it never has been
known to attack a man.
one came ashore Off the New England
coast some years ago and another was
beached on the California coast near
Monterey in 1893. 1t was plump 40 feet
long. and this lends color to the sailor
mems big stories, since it is hardly prob
able that the largest sDeciment in ex-
lstence has been caught. There was a
time when basking sharks were termed
common but that time passed so long
e that they now are counted extremely
rare, and the authorities of the British
museum have long made a standing Of
fer OF 81, 900 for the uninjuerd skin of one.
Professor Jordan of the university of
California. who examined the Monterey
specimen, says that offer never will be
taken. In his Judgment it would re-
quire labor equivalent to the work of one
man two whole months to fiay a good
sized basking shark.
Inc mouth or the monterey specimen
was of appalling size. Stretched and
propped o?en it measured 10 feet from
Jaw point to jaw point, and if it's throat
had been of proportionate dimensions the
notion that a fish could not nave swal-
lowed Jonah would have been exploded
completely. A team of horses wouldn't
have been too large a mouthful for the
Monterey shark. No one knows what
it weighed for there We're no available

than an ordinary locomotive, was given
as a conservative estimate. Loaded on
a specially constructed truck it would
have taken a dozen horses, at least, to
haul 1t over an asphalt pavement, and
more would have been required to trans
port it over an ordinary country road.
h basking shark is not hunted eX-
tensively because it produces relatively
little OF commercial value Neverthe-
less, the Portuguese fishermen who cap
tured the one at Monterey got three bar

WORK.

New York Tribune: zone of the most
scientific pieces of railroad running
ever saw" said John Rutgers, a former
employe Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
~oniDany who has now given up rail-
reading, and is engaged is business at
milwaukee,, used to be done on tho
'Pensy.' At that time they were run
ming an hour and a half train from Phila-
delphia to this city, ana as the present
speed of locomotives had not then been
attained it was somewhat difficult of
getting engineers to make it. The ter
rife speed maintained. together with
he constant strain of anxiety through
out the run, told heavily on mems nerves,
and after taking the train trough a few
times they had to give it uD. But to
return to the scientific work | started to
tell you of. To make such a schedule
every minute that could be saved was
counted. Princeton grade was one draw
back to the run. 1t was long and heavy,
and an inevitable delay always ensued
there. To stop and couple on another
engine would not help matters, as the
time necessary for the stop more than
equaled the extra time required to climb
the grade. Finally they tried coupling
on the extra engine when running at fill
speed, and the plan worked to perfection.
as long as the train was kept up. 1t was
one of the most beautiful pieces OF work
! ever saw. The extra engine would be
running quietly along several miles from
the grade, and when the express came in
sight the speed Of the extra would be at
once increased until it was greater than
that of the oncoming train. Then little
by little the engineer would decrease the
speed and drop back until engine and
train would come together as gently as
a feather floats to earth. A man sta
toned on the cowcatcher would couple
tho fu.n a nuipnc fnpathnr ND t1o;, ,.~:A
ed strength would whisk the train up the
grade With scarce any abatement OF
speed. The grade ~surmounted, the for
ward engine would then be uncoupled
and would run forward at top speed until
it came to a switch which was open and
waiting for it. Into this 1t would run,
the switch would be closed, and q mo-
ment later the fast express would thun-
der by on its way to it's destination. It
a pretty and scientific sight, and IL
you realized the attendant danger a thrill

MARRYING MAKES MEN GOOD.

Friedrich Prinzing has just published
in Germany some of the results of his
study of the influence Of marriage upon
the c~riminality of men, says the New
York Press. From criminal statistics he
deduced that property rights of all kinds
are respected more generally by the mar.
ried han by the single. Such graver
Tense as robbery. extortion and fraud
are committed by married men with COM
parative ~infrequency. When he is driv-
en- to the unlawful requirement of MATER

dangerous mlhod. Receiving stolen
goods, breaking of laws relative to trade,
commerce and public health. forcible de-
tention OF pieces of property. bankrupt

property usually take among married
men. Among those married at extreme
ly early age ~trespasses against the rights
of property are more common thar
among the unmarried of a correspond
ing age. This is explained by the fact
that poverty is frequently a concomitan,
or result Of such marriages.
