HEAVY THEFT OF GOLD
S34, 900 in Bullion Taken by Clev-
er Robbers.
TUNNELED INTO STRONG ROOM
SeIby Smelling Works, Near San Francisco,
Entered BY Means Of an Excavation and
Bricks in Storage Removed to
Boat in Waiting.

DflCkS ~ otOfdSe hbtiloFcu "
Boat in Waiting.
Vallejo, Cal, Aug. 7.-Gold brick
valued at $40. 600 were stolen during
Monday night from the Selby Smelt-
ing Works.
The robbers evidently had been
working on the job for two or three
months. They had dug tunnel from
outside the house, beginning with a
shaft about three feet deep.
Thence they worked underneath the
vauls and striking upward bored a
hole in the strong room floor. The
hole was shaped like the manhole of
a boiler. Part of the holes were
bored two months ago, it is thought
and the last one was completed dur
ing the night. Through that hole
they took the gold bricks and carried
them to a bank near the mouth of the
tunnel east of the works. where they
were evidently placed in boat. In
their hurry, the robbers left two of
the bricks on the bank.
During the night OF of the work
men reported to one of his fellows
that he heard noise in the strong
room, and declared it was ghost.
The others ridiculed him for his snip
erstitlon, but no investigation was
made to see what caused the noise.
The entrance to the tunnel was Gov
cred with frame, over which the
employees of the smelters passed every
day, but no one seemed to notice any
thing out of the wav.
LEFT NO CLEW BEHIND.
Sheriff Veale, of Contra Costa
County, his deputies and Chief of
Police Sanford, of Vellejo, have been
notified and are now at the works.
The police of San Francisco and all
the by cities are now at work on the
case. but so far there is not the
slightest clew to the robbers. The
work was that of skilled men, and
their elaborate plans were carried out
without a hitch. They GO all the
bullion in the vault, leaving behind
only the two bricks which were
dropped on the shore. Only one days
accumulation of refined gold was kept
at the works. Yesterdays run was
unusually heavy. and the gold was to
have been shipped back to San Fran
cisco today.
The tunnel that the robbers excavat-
ed was about three feet III diameter,
and gave them plenty of room in
which TO work 1t is supposed the
dirt from the tunnel was taken out at
night and dropped in the bay. First
reports stated the tunnel was 200 to
800 feet long, but according to late
advices it is only about ten feet in
length. The shaft was started close
to the wall and was sunkep below the
foundation. Thence it was only a
short distance nuder the floor of the
vault. 1t is thought the men who
committed the robbery took their
plumber awayin launch and made off
directly for San Francisco, There are
plenty of places, however, to which
they may have gone-either up the
Sacramento River or to the shore of
any of the numerous bays.

HORSES DEAD
When Car Was Opened--Fierce
Fight of Stations.

Hamilton, o., Dec. IA shocking
accident occurred to car load of fine
horses shipped from the Cincinnati
Union stock yards by G horse dealer
named Goldblatt to a man named
johnson at Eaton, via the G., H.. & d.
railway. The car contained 81 horses,
and among them were two stations
that engaged in fierce fight en- route
to this city and fourteen horses We're
found dead in the car upon arrival in
the city today. The animals were
either kicked. crowded OF smothered
to death during the fight.
Humane Officer Smith is investigat-
ing the affair. Johnson was taken
before him and it developed that one
horse was killed before the train
reached Ivorydale on the g., H. & D.,
but no attention was paid to it. When
the car reached here IA were found
dead and the Pan Handle railroad
refused to transfer the car over its
line to its destination, Eaton, on ac-
count of the conditions. The balance
of the 81 head of horses are also in
tured and are in the hands of d vet
erinary surgeon. -

OTHER SIDE.
What Justice Campbell
Has to Say
Relating to the Action Brought
Against Him.

To the Editor:
AS to the justice, or injustice, Of the
action started against myself and
bondsnlen in Common Pleas Court by
Henry j. Beriodin, accusing me OIL
intent to defraud the plaintiff of cer-
tain small sum Of money garnisheed,
l can only at this time ask the public
to withhold its verdict until the re-
suit Is made known. However, l be-
lieve the STA ements in the petition do
me q eat injustice, and tnat the ac-
tion was brought, not so much with Il
view to having a wrong righted, as to
part OF the attorney for the plaintiff,
with whom l had an alteration OF
opinion when the case referred to in
the petition was in my Court. Facts
in that case warranted the action |
took. The person whose wages were
garnisheed was a married man, and
the plaintiff had means OF knowing
this. | granted an order for the full
amount due the debtor from his en-
p,oyer-Sl4. 40, but was later informed
satisfactorily that he was a married
man, and had, in accordance with law,
drawn all but 10 per cent. of the amount
due him, leaving $1.44. Then l
changed the order TO this amount, af-
ter having tried repeatedly to find the
counsel for the plaintiff. had right
to correct the order, upon finding that
the action had been wrongly brought.
But l do not wish to attempt to Try
the case outside of court, nor to inn
pose upon public opinion, yet, from the
fact that the case will not be heard for
quite while, l believe l am warrant
ed In making this explanation which
will partially aliay the false impression
given by the petition filed in Common
Pleas Court Friday
Respectfully,

lain We're Outshone.
England Happy Over Wales
Boldness.

+ London, Dec. LA. P.)-The evolu-
tion of the Prince of Wales from a
sailor into an orator, causes more
comment and satisfaction than any
event Of the week. His Guild hall
speech was perfectly free from that
platitudinous quality usually notice.
able in royal utterances In England.
His declaration that the old .coun-
try must wake up If 1t wanted to hold
its own, almost took his hearers
breath away, but it has produced in
al sections Of the press, praise quite
untainted by servility.
1t is probable that the Prince was
not entirely responsible for the con-
struction of the speech, as he USED
copious notes. Yet his delivery, earn
estness and willingness to commit
himself to such sentiments. have
raised him higher in tie estimation
of the people than any previous ac-
tion.
Indeed, several of the papers de
clared that the talks of Lord Salisbury
and MI. Chamberlain fell quite fat
after the Princes speech
"Unquestionably the best speech
delivered at tie breakfast" is the
Spectators comment.

GHOUL PROOF.
Grave Vault Invented by CIeve
land Man.

Cleveland, O., Dec. III. O. Hen
mis-. Of Prospect st., has invented a
burglar-proof, air and water tight
grave vault, which will likely bear the
remains of the late President McKin-
ley at Canton.
Hennis claims that the vault will not
necessitate the use of metallic caskets
and brick graves and vaults. 1t has
no nails, bolts or screws. The cover
fits into a groove around the edge of
the body of the vault. The groove is
filled with special cement. When
the cover is once in place the vault
cannot be opened again without break
ing it to pieces.

Merchants Visit Florence.

Our local merchants were the guests
of the Florence merchants last Thurs
day evening. The occasion was pure
ly social one, and is but the begin
ming of a series of visits. From
business standpoint the project is a
splendid one, while from the social
side it could hardly be improved upon.
1t should be the means of cementing
the two cities into closer union and
entirely wipe out any feeling of jeal-
ousy that may have heretofore existed
and for which there has never been
any good ground.
The banquet was spread in the
spacious dining room of the Fremont
hotel, and was in keeping with the
sumptuous repasts spread by mine
host Rice. The Florence Merchants
Association received the visitors with
great cordiality, and until the time
for the banquet was spent in visiting

ence, versatile Phil, as he is dubbed,
acted as toast-master to the pink of

shots in referring to the people of the
sister cities who do things" There
were several short talks, the under
current of which was it was folly to
do else than pull together"
The matter of freight rates was
discussed quite fully, and it is not at
all improbable that the railroads will
be asked to make Canon City and
Florence common points on freight
rates.
The gathering dispersed at a late
hour, and it was later still owing to
wreck before the Canonites reached
home At no distant date the Flor
entines will be entertained at Canon
