Hair dressing was complicated. Braids,
puffs, curls and coronets were worn,
and if necessary were added to the
natural hair. Girls of that day looked
older than their years.
1t was before the date Of the coed
and the woman's college, and a high
or normal school graduation was as
far as the ambition of most young wo-
men extended. Most self-supportfng
girls outside of few trades taught
school, as other avenues of employ
ment were not open. No one had
vision of the vast army of femininity
to be engaged some decades later in
the struggles of business life.
A singular oneness of spirit had al
ways marked the class of ~, even in
school days. Many vicissitudes had

Emanuel, on Sutter street. and some
additions We're made to the faculty.
Nevertheless it was a trying junior
year. Going to school in a church,
with pews for desks and total lack
of furniture and apparatus has it's
drawbacks. Various eXpedients were
tried for equalizing conditions for the
class as whole, but some part OF it
was always in state of discomfort.
Sometimes the teachers were running
from building to building for the reci--
tation periods; sometimes the classes.
Part of the time divisions A, B and C
used to take turn and turn about in
packing books and baggage and NOV
ing up to the main building, to stay a
week. 1t was small wonder that con-
ditions proved too much for third
of the class, who dropped out at the
close of the year. Better days ap-
peared to be at hand, for new High
School building was ready to house the
students in 1870, and the clasSfof ~
hoped to finish it's career without fur
ther migration. Vain hope. In 1872
the school moved again to the corner
of Bush and Hyde streets. At the pres
ent day one can with difficulty recall
how inconvenient the location was
thirty years ago. The old Sutter street
horse cars were the only ones which
came within nine or, ten blocks of the
place. The next nearest were the old
bobtails, which stopped at Dupont and
Sutter streets. ct was Dupont, street,
and not Grant avenue, in those days.)
Larkin street was q desert of sand,
with a few scattered houses at inter-
walls of blocks. Mostsof the pupils had
long distances to walk, as the car lines
were remote and transfers unknown.
Platt's Hall on Montgomery street
was for many years the scene OF the
annual graduation exercises, but in
1871 change was made to Union Hall,
then the largest in the city. White
Swiss was the regulation attire and
every girl wanted as long a train as
possible. On the following night came
the class party, and then indeed 1t was
felt that girlhood had been left behind
and life had really begun.
The eye of the present day would not
look with favor on the dress of that
period, especially for young girls. Neu-
trail colors were in vogue and.the regu-
lation best dress" was of black gros
grain silk made with elaborate aounc-
ing and full overskirt. A woman of 80
would not today wear costume then
considered suitable for a girl of Is. 1t
was the era OF excessive trimming,
thirty yards being sometimes required
for a costume. Every variety of ruff1e
plest, puff and panier was seen. some-
times several varieties upon one gar
ment. This elaboration of effect ex-
tended to all parts of the costume.

1t is not uncommon for girl
graduates to hold class reunions.
But when a class of High School
girls meet in annual reunion year
after year for thirty-hve years
their alumni association becomes
unique. Thirty-one girls gradu-
ated from the San Francisco
Girls High School in 1872.
Twenty-seven of them are pre-
pairing to meet in celebration of
the thirty-hfth anniversary of the
day when they wore white dresses
and read essays. The four miss
ing members of the now famous
class are dead.

LAMAR MURDER
DENVER SUICIDE MAY HAVE BEEN
SLAYER OF MARSHAL
FRlSBIE.
WAS HIS ARM SHOT OFF ?
Connecting Evidence Leads Officers to
Belief That They Have Solved
Lamar Murder fiystery.

Denver.-Fhin in tlls belief that
John C. Bragg, who committed suicide
at City park March 21st by swallow
ing a quantity of arsenic, was part
ner and accomplice of Andrew john
son, the man now held for the murder
of Night Marshal James II. Frisbie OF
Lamar, and that he committed suicide
through fear of arrest, Sheriff Frank
Thomas of Lamar, who came to this
city yesterday to remove johnson from
the Denver county Jail to Pueblo,
spent most es the day in gathering
data, to substautiate his theory.
He visited the county hospital and
received an opinion from the surgeons
there who amputated on Bragg for the
amputation of his left arm, to the effect
that the arm was not lost in sawmlll,
as Bragg stated when he went to the
hospital, but had been shot off. Thomas
himself shot in the left arm one of the
men who participated in the murder OF.
Frisbie, and he believes that man was
Bragg. The amputation took place at
the county hospital shortly after
Christmas, and the murder of F'risbie
occurred December 26th, SO that Bragg
would have had plenty of time to reach
this city. Sheriff Thomas also visited
the coroner's Office and secured de-
scription of Bragg, which tallies almost
exactly with that of the taller of the
two men who murdered Frisbie, and
who was shot in the left arm, in the
running battle which followed before
they made their escape.
Johnson was arrested at Astor, Kan
sas, after desperate pistol duel. Last
Saturday he pleaded guilty to the
charge Of robbing the United States
mails, in the Federal Court at Pueblo,
and was sentenced to five years i'm
prisonment at Fort Leavenworth. He
was removed from the custody of the
civil authorities at Pueblo for this pur-
pose, but Sheriff Thomas yesterday
succeeded in convincing Judge Lewis
that the Lamar authorities had suffi-
cient evidence to convict Johnson of
the murder of Marshal Frisbie, and he
suspended sentence on him in order
that he might be tried on that charge.

Trouble Breaks Out at eoldheld.

Goldield, Nev.-The miners refuse
to enter into agreement with the op-
orators, rs they accuse the latter of a
breach of faith IN demanding that the
miners guarantee that the Industrial
Workers will not boycott the store
keepers after the mines are allowed to
resume.
The miners say the operators laid
down an ultimatum to every term Of
which they agreed, and now they are
trying to add other stipulations that
never entered into the negotiations.
A deadlock has ensued. and 1t looks as
If settlement was as far of as ever
Prices have taken tumble and

buyers seem to think that the oper-
ators have lost control of the situation

IN THE BALANCE OF JUSTICE.
Benjamin C. Wright May Never Be
Convicted on Charge
of Murder.

Denver.-The trial of Benjamin c..
Wright, charged with the murder of
his wife and little girl, is set for April
29th.
In the Office of the district attorney
doubt and uncertainty prevail. The
confession secured by the police and
published with discordant blare Of
trumpets has been read and dissected
and the result is unSatiSfying.
The Wright case may never go to
trial and the noisy claims of the police,
instead of aiding justice, have clouded
the trial.
Behind the iron bars of his cell at
the West Side Court Wright passes the
weary hours gazing blankly into the
future and vainly trying to compre-
hend the mysterious past
81 must have done it," Wright told
the police. "Who else could have
done it," he said.
These, the words of a man daZed and
crushed by blow that was little less
than a catastrophe, are not builded
upon by the district attorney to con-
vince a jury that the unfortunate
young man is the monster the police
would paint him.
Theories of all kinds to support the
charge that Wright committed the dou-
BILE murder have been advanced, run
down and exploded. The wife and
child are dead and beyond that fact
there is a battling mystery which
neither the police nor the district at
torney have been able to throw light
upon, and which the confession" rem
ders, if possible, more obscure.
The Wright case was to have been
called for Monday, April 22d, but on
motion of Attorney Harry e. Kelly,
counsel for the prisoner, continuance
of week was granted.
The district attorneys Office recog-
nizes the difficulty of irving to fix the
verdict of guilty upon Wright and the
continuance was agreeable to the rep
resentative of that Office.

thinking the child would be killed, he
ran to the rescue, only to be struck

SHOT AT WHILE EATING.
Rifle Bullet Crashes Through Window
and Lodges in Ceiling.

Greeley, Colo.-The family OF VII.
liam Metcalf, living fifteen miles west
of here, had just sat down to supper
Tuesday evening, when they were
startled by bullet crashing through
the house, scattering plastering and
splinters of wood over the table and
tloor. This was followed almost imme
dIately by another. One OF the young
men OF the family rusned out and says
he saw a man holding a smoking rifle
in his hand, although II was nearly
dark.
Snerin Ben H. Florence was notified.
Information to locate the place he did
)ot make a.. investigation until today.
Backed up by the statements OF The
Metcalf family he arrested neighbor
by the name of John Mclean. The
sheriff claims to have found consider
able ciIcmmstantial evidence to couple
Mclean with the shooting. Among
other things found in the house was
large army rifle that carried the same
caliber of bullet as the one which
lodged In the ceiling. Mclean was
taken TO justice of the peace court
at Windsor aud placed under $1,000
bond To appear for trial.
There has been feud between the
Mclean and Metcalf families for many
years. Six years ago Metcalf lost two
horses by being shot on the range He
sued Mclean for damages In the Dis
trict Court and won his suit. Mclean
paid for the horses Later GOO head OF
sheep belonging to Mclean were pois-
oned on the range Accusations have
been made on both sides and several
law suits have resulted.
