RHODE ISLAND REDS ARE
MUCH VARIAGATED
Deputy conart lneensed at His Chief
When Setting Hen Produces
Wee Chicks Of All
Breeds

AS the result of the arrival of eleven
downy little chicks yesterday morning al
the barnyard home of a handsome buff
leghorn hen owned by Deputy Sheriff
George Conart, a small riot was nearly
preciptated at the county jail during
the day when Conart alleging that he
had been basely deceived by Sheriff
VIII White as to the brand of the
chickens, demanded satisfaction at the
cannon's mouth.
The story, as gained from the ex-
ploding epithets of the warning offi-
GERS yesterday afternoon was as fol-
lows. Several weeks ago Sheriff White
invited Conart out to his ranch. The
sheriff has a nice ranch near Los An
geles, and among many other things
on the ranch has a fine collection of
well-bred fowls.
The sheriff is not much of a fowl
fancier. He owns the fine birds but
careful Chinese takes care of the
chicks. When Conart surveyed the
motley array of fowls jostling each
other in an effort to get at the grub
he thought of the good old avs of his
childhood back on South Broadway in
st. Louis, and he remembered the
chickens Tony Faust used to keep in
his backyard just one block away.
No Time to Falter
The chicken bee buzzed loudly in
Conart's Panama hat and he decided
that life would cease to hold future
Joys unless the sweet Cheeping of
chicks could be heard in the yard of
the Conart home.
A bargain was soon struck between
sheriff and deputy and Conart drew
three large, healthy looking silver dol
lars from his pocket and asked for a
sitting" of eggs.
Gimme the red chickens" said Con-
art indicating the Rhode Island
Reds strutting around the yard and
how the color scheme would
work out with the red flowers of the
Conart yard.
1t was no time for timidity and
White did not dare call the celestial
to select the eggs, so he went to the
nests and got thirteen eggs of reddish
hue. He selected the brittle ovals from
any and all nests and any egg the
shell of which had a brownish tinge
was selected by White.
Conart went on his way rejoicing,
carried the eggs to his home and
spent the rest of the day hunting up a
hen with an eye to business. sit

under ordinary conditions would have
sent many a man to death by hanging.
There have also been many instances
where men have been shot down by
soldiers who longed for nothing more
than to take human life. 1t Is to
be hoped that a few of these soldiers
will be brought to justice.
Have Family QuarreIs
"I was told the day that I passed
through Golden Gate park that many
of the persons occupying tents there
get into family quarrels and must be
pacified by the soldiers. In one in
stance two of the men who lived in
tents adjoining each other came to be
joint owners of stovepipe to use over
their ovens.
For a few days everything went
along nicely, but a quarrel arose over
it's possession. Several times each
succeeded in stealing it from the other.
One morning a soldier caught one of
the men stealing it from his neighbor's
oven.
What are you going TO do with
that?" asked the soldier
Nothing" replied the thief.
well. drop it," answered the soldier.
what for?" asked the man with the
/
The soldier said nothing more, but
raised his gun to his shoulder and shot
the man through the heart.
No Redress for Wanton Crime
"The story seemed incredible to me at
first, but heard it so many times that
II have begun to belieYa that
it is true. Nothing can ever
be done to the soldier for this
seeming wanton murder of a man
for a child's trick. The soldiers had
orders to shoot anyone on the spot
caught in the act of looting. The soldier
had done nothing more than obey his
orders. He was little lenient as 1t
was according to the orders issued by
General Funston"
When asked if he believed that San
Francisco would rebuild cas- rapidly as
has been predicted, Mr.. Mech replied:
THE rebuilding Of San Francisco will
be one of the wonders of the twentieth
century. People who lost all by the fire
I have plucked up courage and are anX-
! ious to get to work rebuilding the city
! Electric lines have been strung uu
along Market street where the cables
once ran. Five electric lines were ope-
rating in San Francisco last Sunday
night. Each day these are going far
ther out into the city than the day be-
fore.
THE work of removing the debris
from the streets will be handled with
remarkable rapidity. From the South.
ern Pacific depot at Third and Town
send streets the Southern Pacific com.
pany will run steam cars up Third
street. The debris viii be placed on
fat cars and hauled away This as.
! sistance by the Southern Pacific com.
pany will facilitate the building of Sar
| Francisco more than any other schemes
that can be thought of. The hardest
work VIII be in removing the faler
structures, the easiest work win be the
rebuilding. There is going to be more
work in San Francisco within the next
five years than in any other city In the
United States. Out OF the ruins that
can be seen today will arise a new city
-one that will be safer, more beautiful
and wealthier than San Francisco evei
was in the past"

CHICKEN COLOR SCHEME PROVES
DISASTROUS TO UNDER SHERIFF

ting hen was procured from a neigh
Dor and firmly ensconced on the red
eggs from the White rance.
Hears joyful cheep
II is said that Conart got up at 6
o'clock every morning and carried out
breakfast to the hen, after which the
sitting biddy was given a healthy
drink from the cut-gass goblets Of
the Conart buffet. Neighbors vouched
for the fact that COnart talked to that
mother hen as though she we're a long
lost relative and frequently called her
a 'ootsie wootsie ole bufful wooster"
Then came the great tragedy. Yes
terday morning Conart slipped quickly
out the back door and clad chiefly in
pajamas started for the hen house.
The morning air rippled through the
thin and loose garments and caused
Conart to shiver, but he made a bee
line for the barn. And there, sure
enough, he heard a weak little cheep
and on moving the old hen cautiously
he saw something squirming about in
the nest.
He went back to the house and
dressed and then returned to the hen
house. The entire nest seemed to be
alive with squirming chicks, and he
moved the mother and lifted the little
fellows out of the nest.
Color Scheme Is Mixed
But what could be the matter with
the chicks. The first one was Of a
dark ugly color and made noise like
Barred Rock The second was of
such a peculiar color that Conart fear
ing the infant chick was stranglng,
fastened to the house for wine to re-
fresh the little one. But ne chicken
retained the color. The others caused
Conart's heart to sink with dread.
Some were black and tan, others
speckled, some white and Others of a
motley color.
At last Conart had taken eleven
chicks from the nest and lifted the
two remaining eggs. He started to
carry them to the house to investigate
when he stumbled and fell and the
eggs broke in his hands. The result
was odorful and Conart hurried for
the sheriffs office.
Dog Queered the Hens
A meeting behind closed doors was
held and Deputy Cleveland, who is
considered as the sheriff's authority
on Rhode Island Reds, was called in
consultation.
Several other officers we're called in
and a complete investigation made.
Then the truth of the matter came to
light and Sheriff White, believing,
promised to replace the eggs.
Several weeks ago the sheriff was
presented with a beautiful Dalmatian
dog, otherwise known as coach dog.
The dog was not used. to fowls and bit
several of the chickens, and it was
declared by Cleveland that the hens
had undoubtedly gone mad and laid
queered eggs and that the chicks
would naturally be speckled and be
mad also.

JUDGE N. P. coNREY
System Of Presiding Judge Proves to
Be a Success--Trask Retires
After One Years Excellent
Service

N. p. Conrey, judge of department
Ave of the superior court, yesterday
succeeded to the position of presiding
judge over the Los Angeles county
district, following Judge d. *. Trask
whose term of office expired April 80
The office was created just one yeal
ago when at a meeting of the superior
judges of the local district it was de-
cided to select one as presiding judge
the term of office to cover a period OF
one year.
Judge Trask of department four OF
the superior court was selected to Off
ciate during the first year, and his du-
ties began on May 1, 1905. According
to the arrangements made by the
judges, Judge Conrey yesterday sue
ceeded to the office and will hold II
for one year, when 1t will go to Judge
Charles Monroe of department six and
so on.
The appointment of a presiding
Judge was made so as to create more
satisfactory condition of affairs re-
garding the hearing of trials in the
superior court.
Rule Works Well
Before that time it required months
for some cases to receive a hearing
as they were set for a certain court
and had to wait until they could be
heard in that particular department
no matter how heavy the calendar
might be.
Under the new rule the presiding
Judge goes from one department tC
another during each day and when.
ever a court has a full calendar OF
has case that will hold over severa
days, the presiding judge sends the
other cases to other departments

with the old time problem of having
cases postponed for lack of time.
"The rule made regarding the set
tlement of cases under the will of tn,
presiding judge has worked satisfac
torily," said one of the superior judge!
yesterday.
"Bfore the inauguration of the new
plan, there was constant worry anC
fretting among the attorneys and moth
ing seemed to go on as it should.

IF an attorney had some particula
point he wanted to make in court, sa!
for instance he wanted a case set TO

case through the preliminary steps o

presiding judge, and the order was is
sued or denied in a few moments
while any other time he might hav
wandered from one court room to an
other before he found a judge wh
could attend to the case.
"The rule proved particularly stron
in the. hearing of divorce cases. Be
fore the new rule was put in force
the divorce cases suffered heavily be

SIMPLE LIFE WARDS OFF ILLS.
Cancer Rare Among All savages, Says
Savant.

That cancer can be warded off by
the simple life" is the lesson learned
by DR.. Nicholas Sem, who returned
to Chicago recently from an extended
tour through the interior of Africa.
In describing his explorations through
the dark continent" DIR. Seen de-
clared that the nearer man approach
ed the lower animals in simplicity of
habit and diet the less liable is he to
cancerous growth. He said cancer is
almost unknown among the natives Of
the interior of Africa, because of the
simple habits of the people, and that
civilized man is like dollhouse plant
and cancer due largely to overnutri-
ton and luxurious living.
DR.. Sem went to study the pyg-
mics and aboriginal race of that coun-
try and the pests which infest it.
