that he was a socialist and believed that
he was justified in stealing if he was hun

Quadt's Rig.

John Quadt. the we'll known merchant
at 1914 Market street, mourns the loss of
a valuable horse and buggy, and has
sought consolation from the police, who
are aiding him to recover his stolen prop
erty
The rig was standing in front of his es-
Establishment at o'clock last evening, and
a nervy thief, seeing its inviting attitude,
sprang on to the seat and drove off. The
horse and buggy were not missed until
half hour later Mr.. Quadt rushed over
to police headquarters and reported his
loss He describes the horse as being
sorreI animal with a black spot on its
back, and the buggy as having a closed
black top. Mr. Quadt is positive that 1t

observed he unbuckled the belt round his
waist and making q moose Of the buckle
end slipped it over his head. After tight
ening it round his throat he tied the other
end round the bench as tightly as possible
and covered his head with his coat.
Andrew Costello, q prisoner in the cell,
made the remark a few minutes later that
Silders was making queer noises and just
then Slders rolled off the bench a rush
was made to him and it was seen that he
was purple in the face and unconscious
Sergeant Wolf and Policeman Dougherty
were notified and they soon had the belt
removed and Silders was hurried to the
Receiving Hospital in the patrol wagon.
He was placed on the operating table, and
DIR. Rhine applied an electric battery to
his hands, and the shocks soon brought
him round. When he recovered conscious
ness he dramatically placed his hand on
his heart and said: iii do better job
next time" He was taken back to the
prison and placed in a cell, where he will
constantly be under the supervision of the

SONORA'S NEW ROAD.
Citizens There Will Welcome Com
pIetion of the Sierra Railway.

PIeIIUII UL tIIc h1IO1 q AV1III =" e1J'
The completion of work on the Sierra
Railway from Oakdale to Sonora on Sat
urday will be signalzed by a grand cele-
bration of the event by the citizens OF
Sonora in the evening. The road was
originally built to jamestown, from which
place the Columbia and Oakdale stage line
ran to Sonora. 1t will be eventually ex-
tended TO Summerville and Tuttletown,
and the people of that section will have
rail connection with the center of what
is known as the Southern mine.
Naturally the people of Tuolumne
County are greatly interested in the pro-
ject, opening as 1T does "a rich mineral,
timber and mineral territory. Sydney d.
Freshman, assistant general manager of
the road, returned from Sonora last night
and says that the residents are making
elaborate arrangements for the festivities
on Saturday night. The miners and others
will give a grand ball and a pyrotechni-
cal display in honor of the occasion.

Mission Cars to Glen Park.

Ground was broken on Bosworth street
yesterday under the supervision of Chief
Constructor H. H. Lynch of the Market
Street Railroad Company for the new
branch line which will, when complete,
extend from the Mission road at College
Hill to Glen Park. Although the distance
is short it will be expensive, as the rail-
road company will be compelled to run a
tunnel under the tracks of the coast
branch of the Southern Pacific. The new
line is expected to be running by the LIST
