gallant sergeant estimates that he
killed at least 200 of these ferocious
mountain rats, and that alone saved
him. For, like pack of wolves, the

Another Presumptuous Professor.

Prof. Oscar L. Triggs, OF the Uni
versity Of Chicago, like another learned
man OF the Windy City," has made
himself famous by making an original
remark. The first had, he claimed,
attained manhood without kissing a
woman, a circumstance that Is not
surprising considering the fact that he
was born iE Chicago. Mr.. Triggs has
achieved notcrety from quite differ
ent utterances. Re asserted, before his
class, that Protestant hymns are dog
gerel, which vandallike assertion
spread with the rapidity of the wind
and brought down upon him the re-
lentless, persistent and cruel hatred of
the majority OF orthodox church-mem.
bers. Then he tried to escape the
storm by an explanation in the Tri-
bune in which he claimed that "the
public should understand that teach
err, IN the privacy OF his class room,
may state thing playfully, para
doxlcally, and with that exaggeration
which belongs to good pedagogy, leav-
ing the class to discriminate between
the true and the false"
This explanation opens up new
line OF thought regarding the duties of
teacher. That "good pedagogy" re-
quires falsehood to embellish or i'm
press upon the students mind the
facts or principles taught, is so differ
ent from the generally admitted high
function of teacher, that it is not sur.
prising his words should create a sen.
sation. 1t is just about as true that
lying is excusable in the classroom as
it is that Protestant hymns are dog
gerel. While tits true that some hymns
may not possess the esthetic imagina-
tive principle which constitutes true
poetry, they are far from the charac-
teristics of doggercl, and many of them
possess excellent meter and rhythm
upon which to base the beautiful har-
monies of so.called sacred music.
Prof. Triggs has however attained no.
toriety, which was doubtless his object,
if it has come with the force of dy-

Quick Detective Work

1t did not take long to discover the

coming difficulties and accomplishing
a given result, than this unlettered
man who labored with zeal worthy
OF nob.er cause in an undertaking
that at best was promising OF very
doubtful results.
The first object that pointed to Jack
Winters as the thief was a cap, recog.
nized as his, found in the tunnel, and
on search OF the hovel in which he
lived, a mud-stained revolver, an cleo.
trio battery and lamp, and other OBJ
jects with which trained eyes of hawk
shaws may open up chapters of con-
cealed crime, were found. The dis
coveries made were sufficient, it was
thought, to base charge upon, and,
if possible, force a confession.
This was done, and within three
days from the time the job ended,
Winters not only confessed his crime
but told where he had secreted the
treasure, beneath the waters OF the
bay. The criminal accompanied Supt.
Ropp to the place on tug, Saturday
night, and pointed out the exact spot
where the golden bricks had been cast
into the bay. Winters, himself, final
ly, with consent of his captors, got into
the water, which was, at low tide,
about foot deep, and CROPPED about
for the missing gold. After several
hours search, $4,000 had been re-
covered. Winters said he had put
some of the bars in bags, and that
some Of these had broken open, and
the contents been scattered, which
will add somewhat to the difficulty of
recovery. 1t is thought, however,
that the full amount will be secured,
which is 1920, 600. instead of $2SO,OOO
as was at first stated.
An interesting incident connected
with this exciting matter has been

Contra Costa county, to take the
prisoner from ex-Chief Lees, who with
Capt. Seymour and Detective Crock.
EFT, were in charge of the prisoner.
