TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
CComnunicated.l

Transplanted from earth's garden to
bloom in the garden of God on high
Nellie. second daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry j. Drummond, on Sunday after
noon. July 5, 1908, aged II years and &
days. For many months sufferer and
for n large part of that time away from
home and loved ones undergoing hospital
treatment, she bore all her Affections
with. most remarkable patience and a
lovable gentIeness not found in persons
of mature years Unmurmuring, uncom-
planning, she was constant rebuke TO
the petulance and irritation that are char
acteristic of too many men and women
when affIictiOns come upon them. To
the very last almost, Nellie's thoughts
were not about herself, but others. A
smile and a bright word for those around
her bedside even when the life hours
were numbered, and thoughtfulness for
Others comforts even in the midst OF
her own pain and weakness.
Like Il little fragile flower, herself,
she loved the flowers that God made,
and her wasted fingers lovingly caressed
the many sweet blossoms that stood at
her bedside. 1t was fitting then that
when she lay ready for the last narrow
house of earth. she should be covered
with flowers, and that the uPturned
earth of the grave should be hidden
under the same beautiful things.
So God has taken her, the Savior who
lover little children has taken another
lamb of the fold close to his bosom Of
love. She is at rest in heaven before
that throne where thousands of children
stand. 1t was fitting that she should
be laid away in the evening twilight.
Some flowers are sweetest at eventide.
and we gather them when the dew is
fresh upon them. She is gathered to
Gods garden, and in the glorious morn
ing that is coming, she will shine forth
in unfading beauty in the "land that is
fairer than day" "And he asked, who
gathered this fowerG and the gardener
answered, the Master and his fellow
servant held his peace"

YOUTH
SENT
TO JAIL
TO SERVE TEN DAYS FOR AN AS
sAULT ON ROBERT HENDER
SON, a DRIVER.
Trouble Grew Out of a Demand for Sur
render of Ten-cent Knife, Boy
Claimed as His Property.

q
A controversy between Frank Fogg.
aged 13 years, SON Of Erastus Fogg, and
Robert Henderson, driver for R. =.
Lowndes, over q penlnife, said to be
worth 10 cents, resulted in the eonvic-
tion of young Fogg at $3.50 o'clock We'd
nesday morning in Justice Samuel w.
Gordon's court of assault and battery on
Henderson, and in default of the pay
ment of a S5 fine and the costs in the
case, was sentenced to the county jail
for ten days.
Fogg claims that two or three days
ago, while he, John Hardman and Hen
dcrson we're in a store, Henderson asked
him for his knife and he loaned it to
him and went away, forgetting all about
it but. when he saw Henderson the next
day using the knife at the electric light
plant he was reminded of the fact that
he had loaned him the knife and that the
one he was then using was his. He asked
him for it, but Henderson refused to
give it to him. He resolved to resort. to
desperate measures, and Tuesday morn
ing he hid in the weeds on Water street
and as Henderson passed by with his
team he threw stones at him and fol-
lowed him to Wright's shop, where he
made threats to hit him with a stone
unless the knife was given him. 1t IS
stated that Henderson after tantalizing
the boy a while, gave him the knife, al
though he claimed that his brother had
given it to him.
II seems that the first stone thrown
by Fogg hit Henderson on the leg, or at
least Henderson claims it did, and Frank
did not know whether it did or not.
The magistrate, from the evidence was
convinced that an assault had been com
mitted, and he imposed the sentence as
stated, and Frank was taken to jail to
serve ont the ten days, unless the fine

LONG
BICYCLE
JOURNEY
NsPRED BY BEING BORN AN Or
PHAN BOY AND DESIRE TO SEE
THE WORLD AND HUMANITY.
Robert Day wheels from San Francisco
to This City, En- Route to New
York-Trayels 1900 Miles
on the Trip.

II was born an orphan boy and have
desire to see the world and the ways
of humanity said Robert Day, when
asked why he was taking his long over
land trip on a bicycle.
Mr.. Day arrived here Tuesday even
inr on a bicycle, called the Crescent, hav-
ing ridden all the way from San Fran
cisco, and was en- route to New York.
He stated that he started from San
francisco january % last and had come
by way of Galveston, Texas, and New
orleans. The entire time was not spent,
however, in travel, as he stopped at sew
eral places and worked to pay his way.
He is a carpenter by trade and worked
at that part of the time on the way, but,
when he could not get work at his trade,
he worked at anything he could get to do.
The traveller was asked how he cross
cd big waters. He replied, there is al
wavs one way to get across government
streams, when You have no money and
the government is bound to put you
across" Then he said the way was to
go ncross on a ferry boat. That was
the way he crossed and Uncle Sam did
not dare interfere.
1t is his intention to remain here
few days for the purpose, as he him
self expresses it, of earning enough
money to purchase clothes, which will
make him presentable to President
Roosevelt. He added that it was one of
his highest ambitions to call on the pres
ident. He will then proceed to the great
metropolis Of the United States, where
he hopes to see many new and strange
sights. entirely different from the big
Chinese city on the Pacific coast.
The bicycIist estimates that he has
wheeled about 1900 miles on this trip.

Strange Being Appears on Main Street and
Maiden's Lane and Disturbs Society's Founda-
tions.

of the darkness of night, the unknown
figure aroused the suspicious OF the den
izens and shudders and chills crept over
those who beheld it.
Some think it is mythical being, 9th
crs that it is a man dressed in woman's
clothes, and still others have no
definite idea.
1t is surmised that it may be a so
ciety man, and yet it may be Jack, the
pepper"
1t is needless to say that the appear
ance of the strange visitor has had a
depressing effect along Maiden's lane, as
wen as the other street, and society IS
stirred to its foundations in that section.
Watches of the night will doubtless
be established, as the strain is becoming
intense and curiosity and fear have the
upper hand. The mystery must be solv-
ed and that quickly, if the equilibrium
of that community is to be restored:

D;ninu Room Ransacked- Likely Prevented
Thief Of ValuabIes.

The residence Of Mrs. Rose Martin on
Lee street was burglarized early Tues-
aay night. The burglary was committed
while Mrs. Martin and daughter. Miss
Lillian. were down street shopping. Up-'
on their return home, about 10 o'clock,
they discovered that burglars had been
in the house.
1t appears that they left the back door
unlocked when they went down town
and that the burglars entered that way.
The dining room was ransacked and the
dining table. was disturbed, the table
cloth having been pulled off, and the
dishes were on the floor, broken IN pieces
So far as the search Immediately ms tn
tuted divuIged, nothing of value was
taken, the burglars likely having been
frightened away.

Martins part Of the time, and the dog
was in the house at the time. The ami
NAL probably barred the way Of the bur-
glars to the rooms where the jewelry and
other vahlabIes were. He was heard to
make a noise about that hour, but Mr..
Brady,s family paid but little attention
to it, not suspectfng that a burglary WAS
being committed in their neighbors
home.
There is no clue as to the identity Of
the burglars and in all probability they
