IAIL BREAKER
IS CAPTURED
John Meyer, an Escape From
Redwood City Prison, Runs
Against the Wrong Man

John Meyer, an ex-convict who es-
capped from the Jail at Redwood City
on Friday night by saving through
the bars of his cell and dropping to
the ground by means of rope made
of his blankets, was arrested here yes
terday morning and is being detained
at the City Prison awaiting the arri-
val of an officer to take him back.
After Meyer was discharged from
San Quentin last December, he met
another ex-convict at Redwood City
and they stole a team of horses from
James Curran. They came to this
city with the horses and sold them to
Mcclellan Gilmore, a liveryman at ia
Seventh street, representing that the
animals were their own property.
Meyer was arrested on a charge of
grand larceny and was convicted by
Judge Buck of San Mateo County and
sentenced to two years in San Quen-
tin.
charge of grand larceny on a warrant
issued by Justice of the Peace Harmon
of San Mateo County and was held to
answer. His bookkeeper. James H.
Rainey, was arrested on a charge of
perjury and Meyer was detained in
Jail at Redwood City as Witness
against Gilmore and Rainey.
Gilmore has stubbornly fought the
case, and after spending considerable
money on two attorneys who were de-
Tending him, finally engaged George
d. Collins, who interDosed a demurrer
to the information, which was sus-
tanned, but Gilmore was Immediately
arrested on another warrant issued by
Justice of the Peace Harmon and the
case has not yet been heard.
Meyer went to Gilmore yesterday
morning at his stables and demanded
money from him to take him to
Texas, limiting that If he were out of
the way a conviction could not be
obtained. Gilmore quietly notified one
of his stablemen to go in search of
a policeman and kept Meyer in con-
versation. The stableman returned.
saying he was unable to find an Of
ficer, so Gilmore ordered him and an
other stableman to take Meyer to the
City Prison. Meyer showed fight, but
was quickly overpowered and taken
to the Southern Police station. thence
to the prison. sSheriff Mansfield was
notified and said he would send an
officer to take Meyer back.

Robbed Near Southern Pa
cific Railway Freight Sheds

Peter Clark, a laborer employed by
Gray Bros was held up and brutally
beaten by a brace of thugs early yes
terday morning near the Southern Pa
cific Railroad yards, corner of Fourth
and Townsend streets.
Clark was going home about a. M,
after visiting in the Potrero. He had
missed the last car and had to .wend
his way along the dark streets on foot
He says he got as far as the north side
of the railroad yards on Townsend
street, when two men jumped out from
behind a box car and felled him to the
ground by blow on the head.
Clark does not remember any more
until he was brought to- consciousness
by c. p. Thompson, clerk residing at
2142 Mission street. Thompson was
going across Fourth street and noticed
the form of Clark lying in the middle
of the car tracks. He shook the dazed
man, fearing at first that he had been
hit by a train.
When Clark came to he Immediately
felt for his watch and money, but both
had been taken by the robbers. Thomp-
son conveyed Clark to the City Hall
Police station, where he reported his
loss Captain Martin detailed Detec-
tives O'Dea and Mulcahey on the case.
No arrests have been made.

SHOT TO DEATH
BY A LABORER
Robert Barnett, a Popular
Politician of This State,
Killed at Mexican Line
PARTICULARS MEAGER
Murdered Man Formerly In
ternal Revenue Collector
and Chief Clerk at Mint

Robert Barnett, formerly leading
Democrat of this State, was shot and
instantly killed at the Taraca mine, in
Mexico, of which he was superintend-
ent, yesterday afternoon by one of the
laborers in his employ. The report of
the tragedy came to this city in a dis
patch to Hugh Reichenbach, president
of the Taraca Gold Mining Company,
from w. j. Hood, agent of the company
in Mexico. The message was brief and
only conveyed the information that
Barnett had been shot and killed at
the mine by one of the native laborers.
The Taraca mine is situated twelve
miles west of Torres, station on the
Sonora branch of the Southern Pacific
Railway in Mexico. Reichenbach i'm
mediately wired for full particulars Of
the crime and F. X. Collier, formerly
superintendent of Captain Delemar's
Golden Gate property at Mercury,
Utah, left for the scene last night to
take charge of the property.
From those acquainted with condi-
tions at the mine it is believed the
crime occurred as the result of Bar
nett's discovery of the theft of ore by
one of the Mexican laborers. Consid-
erable difficulty has been encountered
in that regard since the company has
been shipping to the Selby smelter at
Vallejo, and Barnett was watching for
the thieves.
Barnett had been at the Taraca mine
a little over year as superintendent.
Up to the time he left for Mexico he
resided in this city. Mrs. Barnett
Joined her husband a short time ago
and was either at the mine or Torres at
the time of the murder.
Deceased was SO years of age and was
born of Scotch parents in Louisiana.
With his parents he removed to this
State f1fty-three years ago and settled
in Colusa County in 1851. He was a
man of sterling character and enjoyed
the absolute confidence of all that knew
him.
He was one of the old line Demo-
Gratis and a leader in the party. He
served as Treasurer of Colusa County
for several years, succeeding himself
four times. In 1884 he was elected to
the Legislature from that county, but
resigned to accept the Presidential ap-
pointment as Internal Revenue Collect
or for the Fourth Internal Revenue dis
trict, comprising Northrn California
and Nevada Four years later he ac-
cepted a position as chief clerk of the
United States Mint in this city under
superintendent John Daggett of Sis
kiyou.
