SAYS THIEVES
COT HIS GEMS
GUEST REPORTS LOSS OF
JEWELRY
Apartments at Cloud Lodging House
Ransacked and VaIuabIes to the
Amount of Several Hundred
Dollars Taken

Precious gems and jewelry, to the
value of several hundred dollars, were
stolen from the rooms of ]. II. Higson
IN the Cloud lodging house at 315h
East Seventh street last Saturday af-
ternoon.
The missing jewelry includes a gold
watch, a ring set with rubies and
pearls. an emerald stick pin, a ruby
stick pin, an agate stick pin, a diamond
stick pin, an ivory shoe horn and a
collection of silk handkerchiefs and
silk ties.
The robber or robbers gained en-
trance to the rooms by unlocking the
door with a pass key. The Jewels
were from a trunk, which IIigson
claims he kept locked, and silks from
the drawer. Higson is inclined to lay
the blame for his losses to what he
calls the carelessness of his landlady.
His rooms are on the third floor and he
has it figured out that If the house was
properly watched, suspicious charact-
ers or strangers cpuld not pass the
landlady's notice. The Office is located
at the head of the stairs on the second
floor. Anyone entering would pass In
full view of the Office, where the land
lady is said to be most of the time.
LandIady Thinks It Joke
The robbery occurred some time dur
ing the afternoon, at a time when
Higson was out of his room. When
he came home he found his room in
a badly confused state, indicating that
the job had occupied several minutes
and that considerable noise must have
been connected with it. Dresser draw
ers were scattered about and their con-
tents thrown all around the room.
When seen last night the landlady
assumed the lightest regard for the
affair. Laughingly she said that the
loss did not amount to a cent over IS
cents and that the gold watch was
valued at nothing over two bits" "
However, she failed to explain how at
that time of the day burglars could
enter the house, get TO the third floor,
completely ransack one of the best fur
nished rooms in the house and leave
the house without her notice.
The police say this is not the first
time that property of the guests OF
the Cloud house have suffered losses.
A few months ago other dodgers were
victimized That time money was
taken from their rooms which was
kept under lock and key. The robbers
have never been apprehended.

DIDN'T DARE TO LET GO
Rancher Runs Nine Miles With an
Angry Wildcat CIaWins His
Breast
snecial to The Herald.


COLORADO SPRINGS, Oct. 20
Bareheaded, with hair disheveled. blood
flowing from a wound in his face and
a live wildcat held to his chest in close
embrace. John Seigel, a ranchman, ran
nine miles over mountain trail before
finding help.
Seigel was hunting grouse when his
dog pointed game. Seigel advanced,
expecting birds to flush, when huge
wildcat sprang at his throat. AS the
forepaws of the animal struck his chest,
Seigel dropped his gun and hugged the
beast with all his strength close to his
chest. Seigers stout hunting jacket and
the tlghtness of his grip prevented the
beast from biting or scratching him.
After running and walking down the
trail for nine miles in this predicament,
he met two men, one of whom drew
a revolver and shot the cat through
the head, killing it instantly.
"I didn't dare to let go" Saigel said,
land l was afraid the wildcat wouldn't,
so we held fast. The cat glared up
fiercely at me with its yellow eyes,
while its hot breath came into my
face at every leap Whenever the
vicious beast made the slightest strug-
gle, 1 hugged the tighter, fearing
might stumble and its deadly teeth be
fixed in my throat"

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 29.--Peo-
pie who have returned to this city from
the Salton sea and Imperial districts
the past few days report that serious
state of affairs is existing there. The
Salton sea is gradually rising and in
some of the gulches the water is al
ready creeping under the new shoofly
track of the Southern Pacific. The
railroad is getting material on the
ground, it Is said, for the construction
of a second shoofly track on still higher
ground than the first one which in some
places is two miles away from the old
roadbed.
The sea continues to rise gradually,
and there seems to be no prospect of
diminution until the water is con-
trolled at the Colorado river intake,
which may not be for some months yet.
as nothing can be done until material
can be gotten to the intake in large
quantities. Plans are under way for
temporary railroad to the intake
from Yuma for the handling Of mate
rial.
Crops were never better in the Impe-
rial valley, but development Is at a
standstill because of the uncertainty
of the water situation. There has been
danger for the past few days of the
going out because of the large volume
of water coming down. If this should
break it would prevent the ranchers
in the immediate vicinity of Imperial
getting any water for their crops for
months. Means are being taken to
strengthen the headgate to prevent dis
aster.

THE LEG WAS WoBBLY
Nevertheless the Court Held That Mrs.
Narutowicz Must Pay the
Maker of It
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
BOSTON, Oct. EFF Mrs. Victoria
Narutowicz hadn't hit her foot when
she was chopping kindling, II her first
wooden leg hadn't panied her beyond
endurance, If the second wooden leg
had been made by John Malewski with
weaker knee springs, the estimable
Polish lady wouldn't have sued the
cabinet maker for not carrying out his
contract to produce a wooden leg for
$50 as good as one bought in surgical
shops for $100.
AS it is, the Narutowiczs and the Ma
lewskis. formerly the best friends, now
turn the other way as they pass on
the street. Judge Adams Of the mu-
nicipal court has given a verdict in fa-
vor of Malewski, because the cabinet
maker proved that he did the best he
could on the wooden leg, even if he had
never made one before.
II was going to buy new leg in a
store on fremont street, as my old one
was too SMALL" said Mrs. Narutowicz.
"Malewski finds it out, and he says:
Mrs. Narutowicz, let me go with you
to look at the legs.
"As Mr.. Malewski was maker of
cabinets and other wooden things,
consented. Together we looked at the
legs and Mr.. Malewski says: Mrs.
Narutowicz, I can make you the leg
in my shop for two-thirds what you
pay in the big stores
II am not rich, so when 1 told my
husband what Malewski had said we
agreed to the proposition. The cabinet
maker came and took the measure for
the leg and six weeks later he brought
it to our house.
'I put 1t on and took up both my
crutches to help me walk. 1t was all
right. Then I used one crutch and
stumbled. L tried to walk alone and
the leg went sideways, and the foot
turned upward. Then 1 sat down and
the spring in the knee was so strong
that it kept trying to walk by itself.
"It jerked up and down so f1ercely
that I had to hold 1t on the floor.
told Mr.. Malewski that he would have
to fix the leg over. He said that may
be the measurements were not right.
"I tried the leg day after day, but
sometimes 1 fell down and sometimes,
when it would try to walk after 1 got
off my feet, I became nervous.
"Mr. Malewski came again to my
house and I wanted him to give back
my $50 I had advanced on the leg.
I won't do it, he answered, and
he took the leg away and I had to buy
a new one for the $10O. Then 1 sued
Mr.. Malewski and the judge found in
his favor a thing which 1 cannot I'M
derstand."

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29.-The dis
tressing failure of silk hose as a finan-
cial repository caused embarrassment
and a loss of $3.50 to a woman on Sixth
avenue yesterday.
The money was in bills of small de-
nomination with the exception of six
gold certificates. A dearth of pockets
caused the fair owner to tuck the bills
where she could be most sure of con-
tinuous possession.
When she left the Nixon theater there
were premonitions that all was not
well. The sum of $3.50 in small bills had
some bulk and weight. The woman
hurried to a friendly doorway to make
sure whether her worst fears were
groundless. AS she started off she saw
a man pick up something where she
had been standing few minutes be-
fore.
She was not sure and said nothing.

Traced to Los Angeles

Farrell had a certificate from the
Chicago office of the Fidelity Trust and
Deposit company of Maryland, showing
that it was issued to F. Gibbons in
Bloomingdale. He was traced by his
letters to Seattle and later appeared in
this city. Papers shows that he worked
in Wisconsin.
In Los Angeles he represented him
self to be a personal friend of f. F.
Swift of the Swift Packing company of
Chicago. He became acquainted with
Montgomery, and three weeks ago
formed a partnership with him with
offices in the Stimson building.
Letterheads show that he represented
himself as representative of the
Western Advertising and Distributing
agency of New York and Chicago. And
Farrell, with Montgomery. operated a
real estate office here. The two men
decided to cease business Friday be-
cause of a lack of money, and Mont
gomery secured a position in a COM
mercial house.
Mrs. Ida Armstrong decided Saturday
to buy a fourth interest in the busi-
ness, and says she paid Farrell SIS on
5000. the amount agreed upon.
Later a young woman went into the
office of the manager of the building
and asked Tor the GoDen-MohtSoulery
office. The manager of the building
afterward learned from her that she
intended to invest money with them 10
secure a position and warned her. Then
he notified the detectives and an in
vestigation was started.

effects show that he carries pads of
letterheads of prominent real estate
firms of Chicago, New York and other
cities.

When this question is answered 1t
is most probable that the mystery that

is the only clew that has been found
that gives any hope of the discovery
of the whereabouts Of the young

Despite the fact that all of Miss Gal

there Is a man in the case, it was dis
covered by a Herald reporter yester-
day that twice a man has been seen
shadowing the young woman.
Whether 1t was by accident or not
that this unidentified stranger was
seen, supposedly stealthily following
the missing young woman, 1t is never
theless a fact, and it is now believed
