FOR St,975 AND $75 BY AN UN-
KNOWN QUARTET.
GEO. M. SPRAGNER ARRESTED
Rooney Was Brought to His Lodging by
Four Men Who Said They Had
Found Him Unconscious.

John Rooney. aged 73, was robbed oil
SIS in currency and cer,ihcateo OF de-
post on the State Savings bank for $I,o75
yesterday afternoon at 80 o'clock.
Rooney engaged room is i'll the Grandon
block yesterday morning and about 3
o'clock that afternoon he asked the land
lady il she served meals. He was told
she did not. and Immediately left the
building. In about 10 minutes three men
returned, carrying the old man. who was
in dcirious condition and appeared TO
have been drugged
The noise attracted Anna Kerwins a
daughter OF the landlady and she was told
by one of the men that The old fellow
had dropped on the sidewalk in front of
the house and appeared TO be sick.
They carried him to his room, where
they we're joined by George NJ. Spragncr,
who lives in room Of the same block.
Miss Kerwin followed the quartet 10 the
old mans room, where, after removing
his coat and vest, they laid him on the
bed.
Miss Kerwin left them then and as soon
as she stepped into the hall the door OF
the room was locked behind her. In about
IS minutes the three men who had carried
Rooney from tnc StIecl sdiIe ub6ilSldilS D
and shortly after Spragner followed.
Spragner met Miss Kerwin and remarked
that the old man had been drugged and
offered her $I.4s in silver, which he
claimed he found in Rooney's pocket.
This she refused to take and told him
to put it back where he had gotten it.
This morning when awakened by the land
lady Rooney was feeling very i'll and
wanting some medicine he asked her TO
hand him his wad which was in his
trousers pocket.
Her search revealed the robbery, and
Detective Murphy was called in. After
hearing the facts, Murphy arrested sprag-
ner, who was in his room, and he is now
in the city Jail.
John Rooney has been mining for q
great many years in Horse canyon, about
half mile southeast of Columbia Gar

men, and was given four checks aggre
eating $Io75.

others. We postponed the placing OF the mont.

that the society pay onehal OF the costs OF

the pioneer men and women, and that the

part of the money needed to carry this into
effect | have often heard the lack OF public
spirit OF our well.to.do members criticised be-
cause of the lack of very much needed home
for worn out and disabled pioneers There
are many of them throughout the state who
in their old age should be cared Tor in home
especially provided for them. I hope some OF
our wealthy members will take the hint and
erect and endow home where the deserving
pioneer can pass the reclining days of his
life in east and peace. Such an institution, no
doubt, would be fostered and aided by the
state. Shall we give this matter attention at

Upon the opening United States Attor-
ney Breckons said:
'I would like to suggest that this

of any business. out of respect to the
memory of Mr.. ]. B. Anterior. Mr..

zens of the Territory. enjoying the
highest respect of the people. and I
think it fitting that this court adjourn

Appropriate speeches were made by

effect that the feeling of esteem and re-
spect for Mr.. Atherton rested in those
who had lately come to the islands as
well as the old residents.
In adjourning court Judge Estee said:
When I came here met Mr.. Ather-
ton frequently and I have become
acquainted with the fact that he was
especially kind and widely interested
in public matters. He was rich without
knowing it and good without feeling it.
