Remarkable
Sleeper

Moiie Rainbolt had a narrow es-
cape from being seriously injured q
perhaps being killed on Wednesday
night. He sleeps in the third story
Of the court house, his room having
a window opening out above the jail
enclosure. During the night, while
asleep he got out Of bed and walked
through the open window. Rainboit
fell IN the n~eighborhood OF twenty
feet, landing on the fence. Luckily
for him that he rolled over on the out
side, or he might have been torn up
by the dogs kept in the enclosure.
Beyond being badly bruised by his
fan the young mar was not injured
but got TO his feet and walked up
Main street still asleep. He was stop,
ned in front Of the Shelby by a young
man. BY this time ]. II. Hogan, who
was sleeping in the oom with Rain
bolt arrived on the scene and Rain
bolt was then taken to the home o.
Fred Higgins, his brother-in-law. 4
physician was called and his injuries
were dressed.
One Of the remarkable features Q
the CASE is the fact that Rainbolt wa
not awakend BY his fall and walk
ed to the Shelby and then had to b
awakened.-Roswell Register.

AN INTERNATIONAL MATCH
Are Endeavoring to Bring Together
Pretty Polly of England and
BeIdame of America

NEW YORK, July 2.-Discussion at
Sheepshead yesterday led to a propo-
sition for a special race between Pretty
Polly, the best English three-year- old
filly, and Beldame, the best American
three-year- old filly.
The sportsmen suggesting it are not
in a position to say more than this:
THAT the proposition, so far as it has
advanced, is that a special race be ar
ranged at any distance to be agreed
upon, not less than one mile nor more
than a mile and a half Beldame and
Pretty Polly to go. $2500 or $4,000 sub
scription, $1,000 forfeit, the race to be
run either in England or in America,
and that the country be decided by a
toss Of a coin in London between au-
thorized agents of subscribers. The ex-

Now the Police Are Looking
for Him.

SAN JOSE, July IA man giving
the name of John Murray is wanted by
the police for victimizing F. H. Sprung,
a blacksmith on Market street, out of
$32 so. The fellow had called at the
shop of Sprung & Schmitt and asked
for work and he was engaged for the
afternoon. About quitting time he
asked to be excused for a few minutes
as he was to meet John Combs, a
rancher living near Cupertino, and
secure a months wages that was COM
ing to him.
Murray returned in a few minutes
with a check on the First National
Bank, bearing what was purported to
be Combs signature, for S32 so. When
Sprung paid the man for his after
moons work he asked Sprung to cash
the check, as he was going away.
Sprung did not have the money handy
and he took the man to the Eagle
Brewery, where the check was cashed,
Sprung guaranteeing it. Yesterday
the check was returned from the bank,
where it had been pronounced a for
gerry. Sprung knew Combs and be-
lieved the check was good. Murray is
a young man about 80 years of age
and police are now trying to locate
him.
