LAW WAS AT FAULT
INNOCENT MAN THE VICTIM OF
 SISTERS SPITE.
Happeninu That Convinced One Law yer of the Unreliability Of Cir
 cumstantial Evidence.

"One of the strangest cases Of er- roneous conviction l ever heard or, and one which indicates the unreli- ability of circumstantial evidence, said the old lawyer, was where young man was hanged for the mur- der of his own father, and it was proven after his death that he was innocent This young man and his sister, a little younger than he, lived with their father, who had a small income which enabled them to i've in comfort. I have forgotten now the names of the parties, but the case is one we'll known to students of the criminal law, and is often referred to in the text books
 "The son had often said that he wished his father would die so he could come into possession of the property. And he had for long time behaved in very undutiful way toward the old man.
 "One morning in winter, when the ground was covered with freshly fall ell snow, the daughter of the old man ran to the home of neighbor, and, very much excited, told them that she had been away all night, and that when she returned to her home that morning she found her father murdered in the COW barn, which stood a little way from the house. The neighbors went with her. They found the old man dead beside his COW. His head was crushed with hammer. There were tracks in the newly fallen snow, from the house to the barn. It was found by fitting the shoes of the murdered man to one set of tracks leading from the house to the barn, that these tracks were his Another set of tracks led from the house to the barn, and back again, and the sons shoes fitted them exactly. That they were the sons tracks was made doubly sure by certain peculiar patches upon the heel and soles which fitted the tracks.
 Tn the sons bedroom. was found concealed in the corner of a drawer a hammer smeared with fresh blood, and with tufts of the old mans gray hair upon it, and with a splinter of bone between the claws This splin- ter fitted place broken into the old mans skull.
 Of course the young man was con- victed. It was proved that he and his father slept alone in the house that night, and that his sister was away, as sAe testified she was. The young man was hanged, denying his guilt to the last
 Four years later the sister of the man who was hanged was taken i'll, and understanding that she could not recover, she confessed that her father and brother had both offended her, and she determined to kill both, and. accordingly, when her father went to milk the COW in the evening she put on her brothers shoes and followed him with the hammer, and killed him. It had been showing, but stopped about that time. She returned to the house, placed the hammer where found, and the shoes under the bed of her brother, who was asleep at the time. Then she went to the home of neighbor and passed the night. She was arrested upon her death bed, but died before she could be brought to trial."-Kansas City Star.

Four-ueaf Glover.

There is an old superstition that it brings good luck to find a four leafed clover. The superstition is founded, first, on the rarity of the specimen; but chiefly on the fact that the four leaves are arranged in the form of a cross.

city needs 10000 skilled men and could employ 30,000 unskilled labor CTS. Some of the shrewder unskilled men have clubbed together and form ed little companies of their own. They take contract to remove debris for a price, and perform the work during the noon hour and in the night. AS unskilled labor is getting $4 day, these willing workers who put in than they ever saw before. In much of the burnt district work is carried on by electric light.
 Will San Francisco ever be rebuilt? is the question asked by people in the east. The answer is that San Francisco is now being rebuilt. It is not question of the distant future. The process is visible to the naked eye. Every steel building that was under construction at the time of the disaster is being rushed to comple tion. Other buildings have been con- tracted for, and with the removal of debris and the arrival of materials the work will proceed. Nothing could be more absurd than to doubt the re- covery of San Francisco from its great misfortune, in the face of the work that is actually in progress. The contract for the reconstruction of the Palace hotel on it's old site, on a grander scale than ever, has been let. The St. Francis is now complet- ing it's great steel annex. Business houses are arranging to build newer and stronger structures than those which succumbed to the conflagration of April IS to 21. The city will not be rebuilt in day, or year, but it will so up with remarkable quick ness.
 "City Beautiful" Must Wait.
 There has been much talk of ''city beautiful" with winding avenues about the hills, broad boulevards. park extensions, and so on. It was thought that with the buildings leveled to the ground the opportunity was open for the construction of a model mod ern city, uniting utility and beauty to

1t is astonishing what deep interest
English history has for the Los An
geles audiences who attend the Mason
opera house and witness the perform
ances of Sweet Nell of Old Drury."
OF course the splendid work of Nellie
Stewart has much to 90 with the sue
cess and interest of the play. The mag
nificent scenic investiture with the
properties and cast artistically correct
add greatly to the effect.
Those who have not witnessed Nellie
Stewart and this clever company in
sweet Nell of Old Drury'' should do so
at once.
There are royal personages mentioned
in this play who are concerned in the
early history of this country. In fact,
many of the first families of America
trace their ancestry back to royalty
who were banished to this country dur
ing the life of King Charles and the
tyrant Lord Jeffrey. Those who are in
terested in English history, in the story
of Nell Gwynn and in a beautiful play
should not lose this opportunity.

NOT ORGANIZED YET TO
FIGHT TOBACCO TRUST

Cigar Sellers Discussed the Trade Sit

Because the Representation Was

Los Angeles tobacconists deny that
they are organizing to fight the to-
bacco trust
They have met and talked over the
trade situation, but as trust busters
they did not reach an agreement, say
some of the influential dealers.
Because only six dealers reported at
the gathering a day or two ago it
was decided to postpone concerted
action till more members could be
brought together.
r. Jansen, manager of the M. A.
Gunst Tobacco company, said concern
ing the meeting:
The idea that has gone abroad to
the effect that the local tobacconists
appointed a committee and were to
vote for officers for an organization to
fight the tobacco trust is a total mis-
representation.
I'VE did hold a meeting, but as only
six persons were present, the affair fell
through.
I'VE talked on other subjects and did
not form any plans for organizing"
