SAN JOSE, March 10.-Captain w.
x Tuiloch Of Alameda enjoys the dis
tinction Of having been lost and found.
From Sunday morning until last night
his disappearance was a deep mystery.
So sure was Mrs. Tulloch that her
spouse had been lost that she inserted
notice in a San Jose paper. offering
reward for his return.
On Sunday morning about 10 o'clock
Tulloch left his home in Alameda, stat
ing that he would be back by 2 o'clock
to keep business appointment. He
went to Fruitvale and at about 1
o'clock he telephoned Mrs. Iulloch that
he would not be home to dinner, but
would go direct to San Francisco. That
was the last heard of Tulloch until
Wednesday morning, when his wife re-
ceived a letter from him In this city,
which was written at the St. James
Hotel, telling Of his presence here. The
letter was rambling in it's contents.
The writer declared that he hardly
knew what had happened since he left
home, and he expressed the belief that
he had been drugged. Mrs. Tulloch at
once hastened to this city, and falling
to find him reported the matter to the
SheT1ff's office.
This morning Under Sheriff Benson
received a telegram from Mrs. Tulloch
that her husband had returned to his
home last night. No other information
was conveyed in the dispatch.
Captain Tulloch is said to be a
wealthy mining man. He was form
erly in the employ of the Southern Pa
cific, but is at present engaged in pro-
jecting large mining enterprises.

WILLOWS, March 1o-Accompanied
by his attorney, ". w. Brown, Captain
w. r. Forsman, the promoter of the
California Navigation and Electric
Company, appeared before the Board
Of Supervisors yesterday and petitioned
for a franchise granting the proposed
electric line connecting Colusa and
Chico q right Of way through Glenn
County. The Supervisors desire a
branch line connecting with willows
and Orland. The representative of the
company was not prepared to say
whether both these lines would be built
and until some promise can be OBJ
tained on this question the board does
not wish to grantsthe franchise.
1t Is thought that the company will
be willing to build the Willows branch,
IL not both, and this will give the
county seat electric communication

The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1905-02-25

European army surgeons must don
their hats to the japanese. Take
our own record in 1898. We put in
to the field during a similar period
from May to December 3D about
275,0OO men, of whom no less than
i,9G5 officers and men died of dis
ease-nine-tenths of them in peace
full camps within our own territory.
Doubtless, General Oku's army was
not as large as our levies of 1898;
perhaps he had only half as many
men. But when one considers the
relative conditions of the two armies,
II is now more than ever plain that
several thousand of our war victims
we're needlessly destroyed by their
own folly or because of the incompe-
tence of their officers. When the ex-
act strength of Oku's army becomes
known the figures we are comment
ing on will doubtless afford still more
striking lessons for our general staff.
