Youthful Burglars.

In the arrest of John Todd, the we'll

 During the day, police station was

Chief Stewart and City FDe'ecflve Cheek investigated them, Fnd came to the conclusion that all were the work of Pine Bluffs gang of |poy burglars, headed by Todd. Con |s'aole Frank Stewart arrested the 0oy' and when brought into police ,'ut' confessed to the crimes, and al 'eseo that Leroy Wilson and a boy named ls1 Roane, both colored. and Pat -. Donnell' white, were his accom- p, pA,es. The others have not been ap- sos A'iueo' as they made themselves

 While enly one of tEe youngsters accused of the crimes has ben arrest ed, the officers hope 10 secure the oth- CTS soon. Just what will be done with them after their arrest is anoth- er story. Pat O'Donnell, the white koy has served time on the county farm, but is young, and the officers are hard pressed for an idea of what should be done with him. He is also an old offender, having been brought before the police court on many other occasions. He has been frequently ar rested for burglary Perhaps the need of a state refromatory was never bet ter eXemplified than ill the case of these youngsters. They are able to n flc1 nc they have given the officers as much t,ouble as the majority of the grown Ep people of the criminal class. and yet nothing has been done with them except in the case of O'Donnell. who served one term on the county farm.
 Pat O'Donnell, the white boy, was arrested by the officers Monday after, noon.

MRS. GOULD'S SISTER WHO MARRIED
A Low CASTE CH|NAMAN

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. s-Mrs.
Howard Gould, wife of multi mil
lionaire and one Of the recognized
leaders of New York's 400" has a
Chinaman for a brother in law.
He is not an Americanized Chi
nese, either, He is the real thing.
He has pigtail, feet long, lives
on chop suey and rice. and he can't
say "all right says "alle itee."
Mrs. Gould gets the Chinese rela-
tive through the action of her sis
ter, Miss Ella Clemens, who has
just married Sun Yue.
Now nothing much can be said
against Sun Yue. He is industrious
enough. He works all day long in
the ruins, cleaning bricks, and
when the sun begins to sink behind
the charred walls into the Golden
Gate. Sun Yue throws his coat
across his shoulder and starts home.
Since his marriage Sun Yue calls
his home The House Of Cold"
Chinese custom.
With her delicate blue eyes shin
ing with happiness, Mrs. Sun Yue,
the bride, greets her husband with
kiss. Sun Yue's face may be COW
cred with the days accumulation of
brick dust, but that makes no diff
ference. For this marriage was
one purely for love And what wo-
man would hesitate because his
face was little soiled through toll
for her
But everything is not so serene
at the other end of the continent.
Mrs. Gould is said to be on the
verge of nervous prostration, and
the great 400" is shocked as sell
dom before. Sun Yue is more talk
ed Of in the drawing rooms of the
grand Fifth avenue mansions right
now than any other man.
Miss Clemens. or rather Mrs.
Sun Yue, was at one time almost
as well known in New York So
ciety as her sister. Having been
brought out by Mrs. Gould, she was
invited everywhere. She always
appeared gorgeously gowned, her
diamonds exciting much envy. Then
