Sacramento River feel elated that
Gestner has been landed in Jail. The
officers believe that Gestner and
Heintz are old offenders and have long
records of crime .
When first arrested Gestner was def
ant and bitter in denouncing Chief
Dwyer. Now he appears q changed
man. Little by little he begins to re-
alize; the strong chain OF evidence
which the. Chief and his officers have
woven about him. and his face now
wears serious and anxious expression.
The notices sent out describe Henry
Heintz as man. 30 years of age, feet
tall and of from 1870 to 200 pounds IN
weight. He is of medium light COM
plexion, blue or gray eyes, small sandy
mustache, and one eye inf1amed from
contact with barley-beard.
The outfit in which Heintz ana his
father are now travelling is described
as light spring wagon with black top
and black side curtains, with running
gear of a pale blush color. 1t is
drawn by two small horses. one
bald faced sorrel with the brand "69"
on the hip. There are also other
brands on this animal. The other is a
bay mare, now in high flesh, with "Y'"'
branded on the shoulder and slit In
the tip of one ear.
Heintz's father is about 10 years old,
but looks to be not much over 50. He
talks very broken English. He is q
short stout-built man, noticeably
stoop- p-shouldered, and wears a gray
mustache.
Heintz and his father both worked
on the Tittamore ranch in Yolo Coun-
ty for a short time. They came from
San Francisco several years ago.
In their raids about the country
Gestner and Heintz lived on the fat
of the land. The two fishermen who
lent them the ak with which they
wrecked the machinery of the dredger
near Clarksburg, say they were given
two finely-roasted fowls when the ak
was returned, and in the robbers camp
they saw six more cooked fowls.
There is in the rogues' gallery a pho
tograph of an old offender, who had
but one eye, and it fits Gestner exact
ly. except that when it was taken the
man wore a beard over the spot that
now shows hole in Gestner's jaw.
Some interesting developments may be
made in the near future.

Many q fork is cracked through the
front wheel not running true, but loose
and jerkily. Bicycles have a myster-
ious way of adapting themselves to in
dividual riders. So you can mount
crank to your own and find that 1t IS
altogether strange to you.
The opponents of long, cranks lay
great stress on the fact that they have
not been adopted by racing men. The
reason Is obvious. A long crank
coupled with a high gear enables
rider. to swing along at steady pace
in greater comfort because of the
slower leg motion; but II he wishes to
sprint he soon finds that he cannot
move his legs rapidly with such long
sweep.
A duster very slightly moistened
with parffine will do more to make and
keep the enamel of a machine bright
than half an hours polishing.
Never eat a hearty meal before go
ing on ride, as if you do you are in
volving a great risk of bringing on
syncope, which is almost invariably
fatal.
Don't ride at less than thirty miles
an hour If you are passing horse and
carriage. 1t is so refreshing to the
nerves of the horse, if the animal is a
little high-spirited.
Men cyclists, many Of whom are
also smokers, need never be at loss
for patch in case of a puncture; a
rubber tobacco pouch will always fur
nish the necessary material
The latest fad is the fashion of hav-
ing dress guards to match ones cos
tune. The lace guard, consisting OF
cord passed in and out the holes, Is
undoubtedly more satisfactory thar
the netted ones.
Riders of chain bicycles are Informed
that jumping on the pedals is not the
way to get the best results. A steady
even pressure, Is the proper thing. The
same suggestion is worthy Of the con-
sideration of all riders irrespective OF
the wheel used.
One Of the latest applications of the
penny-in-the- slot principle is bicycle
pump which can be thrown into geal
for filling tire by inserting a coin
AS soon as the filled tire is removed 6
lever locks the pump, which can be
caused to work again only by drop
ping in another coin.

GOT BUT ONE
Davis Booked for vagrancy, but
His Pal Skipped.

LOVE TRIUMPHS OVER
MATERNAL OPPOSITION
MANUEL RIVAS AND INACIA
TURRES ARE MAN AND WIFE.
They Eloped, Pursued by Mrs. Turres,
but They Were Just Ten Min
utes Ahead of Her.

An irate mother, accompanied by male
friend, called at the Chief of Policies Of
flee yesterday morning and wanted Ler
daughter and her lover arrested. She had
reason to believe they had eloped and
might possibly seek to get married, but
she desired the marriage prevented.
The mother was Mrs Turres, 27019 Bran
nan street, and she said her daughter was
too young to marry, as she was only II
years of age last October. The young man
was Manuel Rivas, who was employed in
an office as shipping clerk.
Detective Anthony was detailed on the
case and he went to Cupid" Danforth's
office, where he ascertained that a mar
riage license had been issued to Manuel
Is years of age. He was told that Rivas
and the girl had sworn that she was Of
age, and as she is a we'll developed young
girl there was no suspicion that she was
younger.
The detective learned that the couple
seemed to be in a hurry to get married,
and he called upon different Justices of
the Peace, and Justice Cook informed
him that he had performed the ceremony
about ten minutes previous and the young
couple had hurried away.
Mrs. Turres was waiting in the Chief S
office and was furious when Anthony APP
ton. She announced her determination to
get even with Rivas and will annul the
marriage if possible. To-day, unless wiser
counsels prevail, she will swear out a
warrant for the arrest of Rivas on the
charge of perjury for swearing that her
daughter was Is years of age when she is
only few months past IA.

DRUGGIST GATES WAS
ASPHYXIATED IN BED
FOUND DEAD IN A ROOM AT THE
LICK.
Was Engaged to Be Married to Miss
Ida Kleinhaus and Had Been in
Her Company the Even
ing Before.

Al. Gates, druggist at the Folsom
Penitentiary, was asphyXiated in room
153 Of the Lick House some time last Iues-
day night, and his dead body was found
by a bellboy at o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Deputy Coroner Mccormick removed
the body to an undertaking establishment
and made an inquiry into the cause OF
death. He reported that there was no
doubt that the death was accidental. Be
yond the fact that the bellboy had found
Gates dead with the stopcock Of the gas
let turned on Mr.. Mccormick seemed to
know nothing. The hotel clerk had an
equally ample fund of information. He
said that Gates registered at the hotel last
Tuesday night and that he had been found
other crevices in the room had not been
stopped up, and this fact was considered
as evidence that the case was not one or
suicide.
An hour after the discovery of the body
Miss Ida Kleinhaus of $40 Fell street
called at the hotel and inquired for Gates
When Informed that he was dead she
burst into tears and was inconsolable. She
said that Gates had made an appointment
to meet her at o'clock. She went away
and returned shortly afterward to the no.
tel with her brother He stated to Dep
uty Coroner Mccormick that his sister
and Mr.. Gates had been keeping company
for several months and were to have been
married in a few weeks. He saw Gates
on the previous evening on his return
home from the theater sitting in the par
lor of the Kleinhaus residence with Miss
Kleinhaus He reti1e ed after greeting the
visitor and was informed by his sister
yesterday that Gates left about midnight.
Gates left word with the night clerk at
the hotel to be called at o'clock in the
morning, adding that he expected a
friend to meet him at o'clock.
The denial of the hotel clerk that the
key of the gas fixtures was loose deepens
the mystery The most rational supposi-
ton is that the deceased when he turned
off the gas carelessly turned the key
partly on again.
Young Gates was % years old and had
been for several years employed in the
prison as druggist He came down from
