Bribery is a word with a curious
history. In the old Geneva bible 1T Is
said OF the scribes and Pharisees that
they make clean the outer side OF the
cup and Of the platter, but within they
are full of bribery" The authorized
version has 'extortion" and there Is no
doubt thai by bribery" the Geneva
bible meant robbery. Bribery" prob
ably meant originally a morsel, a
broken-off piece, but il occurs first in
old French, s%ignifying a piece of bread
given to a beggar, Hence the italian
"briba.'' vagrancy, and the old French
''bribeur,'' a beggar or greedy devourer.
''Bribe' developed in two directions
I'm the senses of robbery and of a pres
ent. When Falstaff speaks of "a bribed
buck he means not one that had been
corrupted, but one hat had been stolen.

KEEP HIS ARREST A SECRET,
FEARING LYNcHING
Victim Was a Popular Railroad Man.
Litigation Likely to Follow Dis

Game Law Arrests

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINo, May 6.-The
officers believe they have the slayer of
Michael Rennshan in Angel Pima, who
is Identified by George Mapstead and
other eye witnesses of the shooting as
the man who fired the fatal shot. With
him are being held two brothers, both
of whom were mixed up in the affair
that preceded the shooting.
Excitement was intense for hours
after the shooting and crowds roamed
the streets until nearly daylight, and If
the infuria ted people could have gotten
their hands on the guilty man 1t is
feared there would have been a lynch
ing. Sheriff Ralphs feared an attempt
of that sort, and when Pima was arrest
ed the fact was kept as quiet as pos
sibe.
Rennahan was a popular railroad
man and was an innocent victim of the
Mexican's bullet, as he was merely a
spectator of the fight between the Mex
leans, who had been atten ding a Mexi-
can dance. He was the sole support of
an aged mother and her family.
The bullet passed entirely through
the mans brain, killing him almost in
stantly and was found later on the
sidewalk. Thus far the officers have
been unable to locate the pistol. During
the skirmish Pima escaped and made
for home, where he was later caught.
Investigation of the mysterious pipe
line by which it is alleged that water
has been stolen from the North Fork
Water company and allied Bear valley
interests and has been used for the
East Highland interests is still going
on. The North Fork company direc-
tors have appointed a committee to
make further Investigations and seek
to have actions brought in the courts
to stop the taking of water from Alder
creek. 1t has been known for two
years that the East Highlands concern
was hauling pipe into the mountains,
but 1t was supposed that 1t was merely
piping springs into the main spring to
conserve the supply and not that 1t
was bringing water from Alder or any
other creek. The pipe line is laid in a
remote section.
