Mothers in Doubt About Babies,

The identity of two babies which
have been born in a forest near Cabe.
zcu, a small town in Santander prov
ince, has to be settled by a council of
the families of both.
While the mothers we're taking a
walk in the forest the children were
born-both being boys. A number of
women from a neighboring village
who arrived on the scene took moth
ers and babies home on stretchers.
Unfortunately the excited women
handed the infants from one to an.
other, and in the confusion that fol
lowed it became impossible to distin.
guish one child from the other.
By way of temporary arrangement
each Of the two mothers accepted a
baby without troubling herself as to
whether it was her own or not.
The families Of the two women
have decided to hold a joint meeting
at which efforts will be made to iden-
tify the babies by some distinguishing
family characteristic.

FIND CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS.
Science Has Demonstrated That II
Can Overcome the Disease.

The sanatoria, better than anything
else. have demonstrated the absolute
durability OF tuberculosis. particularly
when treated in the early stages. says
DR.. 8. A. Knopf. in the Worlds Work.
Some Of them report as many as rs
per cent Of cures, the great majority
Of which are lasting, as careful in
quiry among the discharged patients
constantly proves. Even more re-
markable results are obtained in the
treatment Of scrofulous and tubercu-
lous children in special sanatoria To-
Gated along the sea coast. In Europe.
particularly in France. Holland and
Germany, there are along the sea
coasts numerous splendidly equipped
sanatoria for that purpose. In the
United States we have thus far virtu-
ally none OF these class Of institu-
lions. I am, however, pleased to state

FLY EATEN sY INDIANS.
Larvae Of Insect Make Rich ana NJ.
tritious Food.

According to a writer in the Scien.
tiic American. perhaps the most sin.
gular food for human beings is the
larvae of a fly which Is common in
parts Of California. This insect Is
found in such vast quantities in Lake
Mono that it is washed upon the
shores in vast windows and can be
collected by bushels. The water OF
Mono is very singular, seemingly
heavy and smooth like oil: so much
so that it resists ordinary wind and
refuses to become ruffied. When the
larvae begin to appear Indians gather
from far and near and scrape them
VI. place the wormlike creatures on
cloths and racks in the sun and dry
them, when they are beaten up and
husked, looking then like rice. The
Indians call the food "kooh-chah-bee,"
and many bushels are collected at
this time. That larvae are nutritious
is shown by tie condition of the In.
dams. who non grow fat on the rich
diet.

FORMER COUNTY CLERK
MAHONY ESCAPES TRIAL
Supreme Court Finds Indictment Does
Not State Facts Sufficient to
Warrant Prosecution.

Albert Mahony will not have to be
tried on the charge of presenting a
fraudulent salary demand when he
was County Clerk. according to a de-
cision rendered by the Supreme Court
yesterday. His demurrer to the in
dictment of the Grand Jury is sus-
tained and by reason of a technical
error he will escape prosecution.
The specific Offense with which Ma
hony was charged was the cashfng of
a warrant drawn in favor of A. Da-
wilson, who is said by some to have
visited the City Hall years ago. but
by others it is alleged that he had
seen it only from Market street. At
any rate. he did not work in the Coun-
ty Clerks office, but was collecting
500 a month.
The Grand Jury indicted .Mahony.
but he alleged that the complaint did
not state facts sufficient to constitute
cause of action. His stand is upheld.

SAYS BRAKEMEN
LOOTED CARS
Southern Pacific Company
Has Two Employees Arrest
ed for Breaking Freight

John c. Weston and Frank Rixey,
Southern Pacific brakemen, are in the
City Prison waiting their transfer to
Santa Barbara, where three charges of
grand larceny will be preferred against
them. w. E. Lynch of the firm of
Lynch & Meyers, saloon-keepers, Santa
Barbara, is under arrest there on a
charge of receiving stolen property.
Weston and Rixey have been in the
service of the Southern Pacific Com
pany since 1901. They were employed
as brakemen on freight trains on the
south end" between Salinas and
Santa Barbara. For the last two years
the company has been receiving claims
for goods shipped but not delivered.
Two months ago Detective Peter Levin
of the companys staff was detailed on
the case. He went to Santa Barbara
and procured the assistance of Chief of
Police Ross.
After a patient investigation suspi-
cion fell upon Weston and RiXey and
it was discovered later that Lynch had
been acting as a fence" for them.
Lynch employed a man named Theo-
dore Butgenbach as a travelling sales
man to dispose of the goods stolen by
the two brakemen. Butgenbach was
salesman for E. Hillman & Co., a
wholesale tobacco house in Santa Bar
bara. The chief part of the plunder
consisted of cigars and liquors and of
these whole cases were stolen. Other
articles were silk goods, shotguns, cam
eras and typewriters.
Levin and Chief Ross recovered a
quantity of the stolen cigars in Lynch's
house in Santa Barbara and in a saloon
owned by ]. Frediani. A thorough
search is still being made for more of
the stolen property. Levin says that
Lynch has made a full confession.
Weston is married man and lived
in San Luis Obispo. Rixey boarded
with him. Weston opened a bank ac
count and has several hundred dollars
to his credit. 1t is estimated that the
total value of the goods stolen will
reach from $4,000 to $4,000. The way
they worked the scheme was to remove
the seal from car with pair of nip
pers After opening the car door and
removing the goods they would again
carefully affix the seal
Weston was arrested at Third and
Townsend streets at the request of the
superintendent of the division on Oct
ober 8 by Detective Ryan of the local
police and Detective Kindelon of the
Southern Pacific. Rixey was arrested
at the same place on Thursday by De
tective Ryan and Detective Levin.
Each when arrested had a suit case
containing stolen cigars and liquor.
1t is only a few months ago that
three brakemen on the north end"
between Salinas and this city, were
rested for the same work and it is now
expected that an end will be put to the
looting of cars by employees for some
time to come.

LAYS DOWN RULES FOR
POUNDMEN'S GUIDANCE
Judge Cook Affirms Conviction of
Charles Buckley and Arthur MUIR
phY for Cruelty to Animals.

The appeal case of Charles Buckley
and Arthur Murphy, deputy pound
keepers, convicted by Police Judge
Fritz of cruelty to animals and fined
$40 each, was argued before Judge
Cook yesterday. The Judge affirmed
the judgment of the lower court and
in doing so said: "A poundman
should know before he tries to capture
a dog whether or not it has a tag. If
he does not know, then he makes the
attempt at his peril. If in trying to
capture a dog with a tag on he should
MAIN or kill the canine he renders
himself liable for damages to the
owner"
On March IA Captain w c. Overton
of the Presidio was driving on Van
Ness avenue in buggy with his wife.
His dog was running along under the
vehicle. Buckley and Murphy made
several attempts to capture the dog,
although Captain Overton pointed out
to them that it had a tag. In so do
ing they injured one of the animals
legs by striking it with the pole at
tached to the net. They were ar
rested for cruelty to animals and con-
victed and fined on March %.
