and so metropolitan in character" said

ty. Birmingham and its environs, I had
learned had a population of something
like 100000 and of course I knew about
the Birmingham districts wonderful min
eral wealth. But l expected to find this
town an over-grown mining camp. I was
amazed when 1 beheld sky-scrapers, high
class hotels. elegant clubs, cafes innumer-
able that would do credit to New York;
Several up-to-date theatres, fine streets,
and exceptionally beautiful residence Sec
tons. Yes, all these things surprised me.

HAVE RECORD
FOUL CRIMES
Frisco Police Believe They
Have Two MurdererS
in Custody

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-Two men
are in custody of the police for the
gas-pipe murder at the Japanese bank
Wednesday, and it is evident the po-
lice believe they are the men respon-
sible for three murders in the city
within the last f<N weeks.
First came the Pfitzner murder, then
that of Merchant Friede and lastly
the outrage in the japanese bank.
The men are Americans and were de-
positors in the bank. Detectives have
learned that one of the suspects had
a room opposite Pfitzner's shoe store
on McAllster street and that he NOV
ed from that location to one opposite
the Japanese bank on O'Farrel street
from the windows of when the bank
easily could be watched. The men
also gave fiticious names when open
ing an account with the bank.
Theer were reasons for suspectine
the men. The police agree that the
three crimes were probably the work
Of the same men.

HORSE MITCHELL
TOOK IS FOUND

The $3.50 horse taken from William
Jones barn Sunday night by Frank
Mitchell, when he made his getaway
from the county Jail, was discovered
Wednesday by the owner in Garden
Gulch near Lapwai. Q. F. De Partee,
who is in town today from Lapwai
brings this information.
Mr.. De Partee says the horse was
found with saddle and bride. and was
almost tagged OUT when taken up
again by Jones.
1t is believed now that Mitchell
abandoned the horse near Spalding,
expecting to take the train near there,
as was explained in the Evening Tell
er Tuesday. It is suggested that fail
ing to get the train, Mitchell caught
up the horse again and continued ON
his way to the interior until the horse
no longer able to proceed was aban-
doned. When left to itself, the animal
wandered back toward home.

HIS QUIET DRUNK
IS INTERRUPTED

A quiet lonesome drunk, which he
might have been still enjoying, was
the amusement that Peter Landon Of
Mohler laid out for himself upon his
visit to the city.
He might have still be enjoying it
If he had carried out his program to
the letter, but he deviated from the
regular order of events, and some of
the neighbors complained. He is now
in the city Jail, and medical assist
ance had to be called last night to
recover him from a fit he had thrown
soon after being incarcerated.
Landon Is a well known character
on the Neg Perce prairie, and came to
the city few days ago. He took up
his abode in a wood shed in the east
end of the city, which was not in use.
Equipped with bottle Of good booze
he settled there and commenced to
fill himself up. AS soon as he would
run out of liquor he would make his
way to the nearest saloon, get another
bottle, and go quietly back to the
woodshed, where he would again pro-
ceed to stimulate his state Of intoxi-
cation which ne was enjoying all b,
himself
Yesterday afternoon the people OF
the neighborhood reported the matter
to Chief of Police Savage, stating thai
Landon was making himself nuisance
in the community.
The offender was placed under ar
rest and brought to the city Jail. Soor
after he was brought in he threw 6
ft and the officers were alarmed fol
time lest he would not recover from
| his condition. Medical assistance was
called, and this morning he is report
ed to be practically recovered.
