must, of necessity, be little per-

readers will pardon an occasional
lapse of that sort.
Six or seven years ago the pro-
prietors of this newspaper, having
built up their establishment to a
high position in the city and state,
concluded to give it a national

cred the ways and means. l was

And ye who loved me murmer, ale is

And sorrow too that ye should sorrow so.
When all is done and in the oozing clay,
Ge lay this cast-off hull of mine away,
Pray not for me, for, after long despair,
The quiet of the grave will be prayer.
For l have suffered loss and grievous
pain,
The hurts of hatred and the world S

The wounds so deep that love, well-tried
and pure,
Had not the pow'r to ease them or to
cure.

And that tho night l seek a DINNER

As you can really imagine, he
was a most interesting man, mod

suggested in his manner Robert
Louis Stevenson, that most ex-
quisite of essyists. Notwithstand-
ing his race and color, Dunbar mad
the gentleness, the tineness, the
graceful vocabulary of his white
prototype, expressing himself with
the same beauty of diction.
L remember asking him to write
as his first article for The Post
his impressions of Denver, as he
saw it when he came in on the
train.
He did. 1t was a poetic and
charming piece of work. 1 sup

long line of smoke from the smell

GRAsPS REVOLVER
THRUST UNDER
HIS NOSE.
DR.. Leland Relieved of
Coin, Watch and Jewel
ry by Young Footpads

DR.. Thomas b. w. Leland, former
Coroner of this city, was held up and
robbed of large amount of money, a
watch and jewelry, at the corner of
Vallejo and Laguna streets, by two
young but desperate footpads last
night.
The robbers succeeded in making
their escape, although DR.. Leland fol-
lowed them for several blocks, shout
ing for aid. Both men were armed but
their faces were uncovered and their
victim believes he could identify them.
DR.. Leland alighted from Fillmore
street car at Vallejo street about mid
night and started to walk toward his
home at 1910 Vallejo. When he
reached Laguna street the two men
came toward him from Broadway. A
revolver was showed under his nose and
he was gruff1y ordered to throw up his
hands.
The physician grabbed at the gun
and attempted to wrest it from the
footpad, who threatened to kill him if
he did not relinquish his hold. The
other man placed his revolver against
DIR. Leland's breast and again ordered
him to throw up his hands.
The thieves secured $175 in gold, $5
in silver, a gold watch and chain, a
gold matchbox and a diamond-studded
Masonic emblem. Both men appeared
young and both were nervous.
AS the footpads disappeared the doc
tor shouted for the police. but got no
response. He followed the men for
several blocks and then went home,
reporting his loss to the police by tele-
phone.

Of MURDER.
Slayer of "Holy Roller
Creffield Is Released
by an Oregon Jury

SEATTLE, July 10.-Young George
Mitchell was this afternoon declared
not guilty of the murder of Francis
Edward Creffield, the Holy Roller"
whom he shot down in the streets of
Seattle on the morning of May Z. The
reading of the verdict by the clerk Of
the court caused great rejoicing.
Friends Of Mitchell by scores crowded
about him to grasp his hands. The
scene was a dramatic one.
When the jurors, charged by the
Judge, filed out of the courtroom few
persons. If any, left their seats. 1t
appeared to be generally understood
that the jury would be out but a short
time, and no one was willing to miss
the verdict. The jury reached it's ver-
dict in one hour. During the absence
Of the jury Mitchell was perhaps the
most collected person in court. He
showed no signs Of the strain under
which he has been laboring for weeks,
not even when the verdict freeing him
was read. His Joy was calmly ex-
pressed. He grasped his attorney S
hands and thanked him. He then re-
ceived the congratulations of his
friends in a hearty way, but mani
tested no excitement

Waters of San Joaquin
Menace Jones Tract
and Two Big Islands
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

STOCKTON, July 10.-Thousands OF
acres of the rich lands below Stockton
have been devastated by the food
waters. The full extent of the disaster
is now realized. The flood struck many
points at once. There were no new
breaks in the levees today, but tonight
Victoria and Woodward's islands are in
grave danger. The famous Jones tract
may go. In the entire great domain a
gritty fight is being made to save the
reclamation properties that did not fall
under the first freshet.
The source of the frightful stencil
that alarmed the people of this city
during the high wind Sunday has been
located. Across Union Island from
west to east is a levee. Against it
the flood waters have carried the de-
caying carcasses of drowned sheep,
hogs and cattle and thousands of rab-
bits, squirrels, mice, snakes, skunks
and other small animals living on the
islands. The odor is carried by the
wind for many miles When the water
subsidies some remedy may be found.

WOMAN In CROWDED CAR
STABBED With hATPIN
Vicious Female Passenger Resents
Jostling by Making Muir
derous Attack.

PORTLAND, July 10.-A young wo-
man named Fernell was the victim of
a most painful assault on a crowded
ca just leaving The Oaks today. With
her escort she boarded the overerowd-
ed car at the exit of The Oaks and they
squeezed their way inside until they
could get a safe foothold. The car was
so packed that the standing passen-
gers jostled back and forth against
each other. Miss Fernell happened to
jostle into another woman passenger
directly in front of her and the latter
flew into rage. Quickly drawing a
long pin from her hat she used it
daggerlike, lunging blindly backward
with it with such force that it was
driven completely through Miss Fer
nelPs thigh, and could not be removed.
The screams of the injured woman
threw the passengers into a panic. Sew
eral tried to seize the fiendish passen-
ger. but she jumped from the car.
