interesting exhibit in the form Of a

This remarkable lad-he was but 20

he left behind him a wonderful amount
of clever work, and work that will out

WILD KANGAROO
LOOSE IN PARK
Australian Quadruped Leaps
Barrier and Is Still on
the Jump When Last Seen
ELUDES THE POLICEMEN
Long-Legged Beast Outfoots
Horses of His Pursuers
and Scares Pedestrians

There was a new Tale of the Kan
garoo" at the park last night. One
of the Australian natives jumped the
fence of his paddock and successfully
eluded the attempts of two mounted
policemen to capture him. At a late
hour this morning he was still jump
ing.
A pedestrian on McAllister street,
near Stanyan, about o'clock last
night, was startled by an odd-looking
form sitting serenely on the park wall
at that point, calmly taking In the
surrounding landscape.
The glistening eyes Of the quadru-
ped filed him with fear and he left
a trail Of dust as he sped for the Park
Police Station.
Mounted Policemen Pidgeon and
Budd started after the escaped curio.
They found him still reclining on his
launches at the northwest corner of
the park. Carefully they drove their
horses near the animal. Pidgeon
poised his lariat for a moment and
then threw it. The rope sailed square
for Mr.. Kangaroo's head, but the willy
Australian, with a great leap, deftly
jumped through the loop. With huge
bounds he started westward, the po-
licemen after him. Like Mark Twain s
coyote, the curio did not seem to over
exert himself, but, after the fashion of
the desert scavenger, easily kept just
out of reach of his pursuers.
The hunt lasted for two hours; the
kangaroo leading the mounted men a
merry chase up and down hill, around
/ trees and down embankments. Several
times Pidgeon and Budd attempted to
ensnare the beast, but always he elud-
/, ed the lariat.
After a long chase the animal seemed
to tire of being pursued and with q
few bounds left his would-be captors
alone in the trees Of the park. Up tt
late hour no trace Of the kangaroo
| could be found.

GOVERNOR WILL
NOT Be RUSHED
Pressure for Appointments
of the Judges for Newly
Created Courts of Appeal
FIELD OF ASPIRANTS
Legislature Must Provide
Means for Payment of Rent
and Salaries of Attaches

The pressure for the immediate ap-
pointment of nine Judges for the new
Appellate Courts is very strong, but
there is gossip to the effect that the
Governor refuses to be rushed. The fact
is taken into consideration that the
Legislature must provide means for
the payment Of court expenses for the
last half of the present fiscal year, and
for the succeeding two years. Apart
from the salaries of Judges, money
must be allowed for rent Of court
rooms, the employment Of clerks, stem
ographers and bailiffs.
The applicants for the favor OF the
appointing power are legion. 1t is the
impression of leading lawyers that the
nine Judges will be taken from this
list Of aspirants:
FIRST DISTRICT.
Republicans - Ex-Judge Edward Sweeney,
Shasta; Commissioner N. c. Chapman, Tehama ;
Judge Smith, Sierra; T. L. Carothers ana
Judge Mannon, Mendocino; Judge Buckles So
lano; w. w. Middlecoff San joaquin; Judge
Barham and Judge Dougherty. Sonoma, and
Judge Cooper. Humboldt
Democrats = Judge Mclaughlin Plumas;
Judge Rust, Amador
The San Francisco call., 1904-12-07
THIRD DISTRICT.

Republicans-victor E. Shaw. San Diego;
Commissioner w. A. Gray Tulare; Judge Os
ter, San Bernsrdno: Judge Allen and Judge
York Los Angeles
Democrats-Commissione George Smith ].
A Anderson and Judge Trask, Los Angeles
Judge Short, Kings.
According to the constitutional
amendment recently adopted the Gov
ernor must appoint one of the Judges
in each of the three districts as the
presiding Judge.
1t is gossip in court circles that Judge
Henry A. Melvin of Alameda and
Judge Edward Sweeney of Shasta are
so highly commended that they will
be appointed. 1t is said also that the
Governor desires to recognize the pres
ent Court Commissioners and views
with favor the Endorsements in behalf
of Colonel N. P. Chipman.
The forthcoming message to the Leg
islature is now demanding the atter-
ton of the Governor, and he may deem
it advisable to defer the appointments
of Judges until means have been pro-
vided for the maintenance Of the new
courts.
