The Sum Stolen by a Roseville
Burglar Wednesday Night.

A burglar made quite a big haul at
the little railroad town Of Roseville,
Placer County, on Wednesday night
getting away with about $780,
The money was taken from a room
occupied by Mrs. Fred Whitney of
Honolulu. who had that same night ar
rived in Roseville on a visit to her
mother
The thief must have known some
thing of the lady's coming, for he
avoided other rooms and went straight
to hers
Mrs. Whitney had a watch and some
valuable jewelry in plain view in her
room, but the burglar seems to have
been satisfied with the money. Some
$2G0 of the sum stolen is in paper cur
rency of large denominations.
The Sheriff and Chief of Police here
have been notified of the robbery, but
it is more than likely the thief
Jumped train and is far away by
this time.

BADLY INJURED.
Severe Accident to Harry Catlin
Wednesday Night.


Harry Catlin youngest son of Judge
Catlin, met with a severe and painful
accident on Wednesday night, which
will confine him to his bed for weeks,
if not months. His right arm is broken
between the elbow and shoulder, his
right leg broken between the knee and
ankle, the left side of his face is badly
1acerated and bruised, and several Of
his teeth are loosened
1t seems that Mr.. Catlin was walking
through the broad alley in the rear Of
the Odd Fellows Temple on Ninth
street, when he encountered a patent
road excavator that had been left there
by the owner or agent. who had been
making experiments for the Board of
Supervisors. The machine was part
way up the grade leading to Ninth
street, and held there by the brake
being set
Mr.. Catlin's curiosity led him to ex-
anime the machine, and in doing so he
unknowingly released the brake The
machine started suddenly and caught
him before he could escape it, with the
result stated

bates on the bill, the various amend
ments offered, the visit. of the joint
committee to Folsom Prison to inter
view the crusher, have been recorded in
these columns The substitute bill, pre-
pared after the committees vlit to
Folsom, Incorporated an amendment
the Folsom rock salable to cities for
streets. lanes, courts and alleys.
1t is this which is, and has been, the
burning question 1t is not necessary
here to go again into the arguments
nor is there space to record the debate
which brought forth some of the best
argumentative metal of the members
Wright had offered an amendment
striking out the quoted clause, which
brought the question back to its exact
status on Anderson's original BILL Dbl
BILE and Anderson championed the ex-
clusion of the prison crushed rock from
cities-Dibble taking the ground that 1t
brought convict and free labor IN COM
petition and was wrong in principle;
Anderson looking at it from the rather
narrower standpoint of the private
quarrymen-owners and employees.
Dunlap of Stockton took very
earnest stand in favor OF extending the
use of the crushed rock from Folsom,
making a strong argument based on
his personal knowledge and experience,
and showing how the immense increase
in improvements made possible by the
cheap rock gave employment to free
labor in much greater volume than that
claimed to be injured at the quarries.
Caminetti also strongly opposed
Wright's amendment, also knights,
Works, Clough, Belshaw, Atherton and
others. Lardner supported Dibble, An
derson and Wright in favor of striking
out the s'cities" clause
Wright's amendment was lost.
Anderson offered an amendment
making the selling price of the Folsom
rock 80 cents per ton in place of 30
and 80 cents, which has been the price.
This was lost
Anderson then declared that he would
rather kill the bill than have it pass in
that shape, and moved to strike out the
enacting clause. Lost.
Caminetti amended the title and also
succeeded in carrying an amendment
providing that the rock could also be
used for arches of bridges, culverts,
etc. The bill as, amended was sent to-
the printer and comes up on final pass
age to-day.

ing besides 1.-THE Idols Eye" at night.
The Wizard of the Nile" for a mat
inee at 2 o. m. Sale of seats for either
performance is now on Those who
have seen both operas agree that one
is as brilliant, merry and musical ais
the other. and either is worth a long
trip to see and hear. Musically, prob
ably. 1.-THE Wizard of the Nile" is just
a notch superior to it's rival. The scene
is in Egypt, and the time 1900 years
ago, but the mirth is all modern, and
the music of to-day. The scenic effects
are very handsome. About fifty people
are in Mr.. Daniels company.

He Sues the Real Estate Agent Who

Declares That Providence
Is to Blame.

D. Smolinsky, a dairyman at Forty

ways had the reputation of being averse to
water. except for cleansing purposes, but
now, after a disastrous experience with a
freshet. he is by common consent of his
n%eighbors set down as an uncompromising
enemy Of the fluid, especially when it goes
on a riproaring. devastating tear and
makes serious inroads into the %riprapping
OF his pocketbook.
Some time ago Smolinsky bought from
ID. 3. McGoniSle. a real estate man, two
lots. plated as Nos. % and "A, in Logan's
addition to Kansas City, and as often as he
viewed his new purchase Just sa often did
he chuckle over the facc that his grassy
possessions were daily increasing in value.
They were located on the slope of a stream
pellucid in summer. and active and ener-
getic in the spring. One day he was startled
when. after an adniring glance at his lots.
he noticed that the line Of the stream was
trespassing. Day by day he watched his
lots grow smaller and the stream wider I'M
til he had land left barely sufficient to
build a fence on. For miles adown the
course of the stream was his real estate
scattered.
1t grieved his heart sore. and whenever
thereafter the rains came and the winds
mourned greatly.
One day. sore in spirit, he approached
the real estate man and explained that in
him had melted away, leaving only the
gravel of what was once a beautiful spot
as a reminder of his investment. he be-
lieved he was in duty bound to return to
him a part of the purchase money Nc
GoniRle added to his distress by refusing
to listen. except as a matter OF courtesy,
