William F. Gum, a mining engineer
and son of Adam S. Gum, manager OF
the American book company on a

Young Gum was arrested at the st.
Mark hotel in Oakland on informa-
ton of the San Francisco police, who

by E. Mccormick of the firm of the
Gerard Mccormick drug company, who
accused him of passing worthless
check for $50 drawn on the Nye county
bank.
After arresting him the Oakland police
discovered he was a man against whom
complaint had been made by persons in
Oakland and refused to give him up
to the San Francisco police. By night
fall, however, Gums father had man
aged to settle all the claims against
his son and he was released, only to
fall into the hands of Detective Dris-
coll of the San Francisco police.

and Immediately started to settle the
local claims against him. Among the
charges against him was one from the
manager of the Hotel Baltimore, who
accused Gum of passing a worthless
check for $50 on him. Another COM
plant was from chauffeur.
Gum said the whole business was
mistake and would be cleared up as
soon as his father was able to meet
those who had claims against him.

Youth Who Had Seven
Months Adventures
Peter Stolurow, Aged l3, Goes
Far From Home at St.
Paul, Mimi.

After seven months of happy wan
dering up and down the United States.
away from the irksome restraint Of
schools. teachers and parental control,
Peter Stolurow, a bright eyed young
ster of 13 years from ST. Paul, Mimi,
had his care free existence summarily
checked yesterday when he fell into the
hands of E. L. Wadham. secretary OF
the Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Children.
He was with L. Pollakoff an agent
for the sale of novelties, who. after a
severe examination by Wadham, agreed
to send the boy back home According
to Peters story. life at home lacked
those exciting frills which his wander
ing soul desired.
WHY HE HIT THE TRAIL
$50 I hit the TRAIL" he said. 1t was
perfectly simple. On the one hand was
school teacher and lessons, harrying in
the extreme. On the other was the
trail. Therefore he wandered out. His
first experience was with cousin who
held concession at a state fair in Min
neapolis. Peter liked state fairs. There
was music and peanuts and races and
crowds. He helped his cousin sell
wares at the state fair and when that
was at an end went back home. where
he was effectually and scientifically
"whaled."
The whaling" kept him at home for
a short time; but the germ was in his
blood. and, when the fear of the rod
had died down, he hit the trail once
more
This time for keeps" he said.
STARTS ON MERRY LIFE
Then started a merry life. From state
fair to state fair he wandered. Once
he travelled with two headed calf.
show, but one head was a fake, an
the whole show busted up an there
was nuthin' doin'" Then he picked up
with Pollakoff and helped him sell nov
elites. The end of the season found
them at Shreveport La.
Being stranded in Shreveport had no
terrors for Peter. He wriggled through
three delightful months with apparent
ease and very much enjoyment He
sold tickets at side show, was an
usher in a theater. did whatever he
could and ate when the gods were pro-
pitious. The lad then came to San
Francisco for the purpose of selling
souvenirs of the fleet. Last Saturday
night he wandered down Market street
to sell souvenirs and fell into the hands
of Wadham He was booked at the
detention home until his parents could
be notified, but on the boy showing
number of letters from home. indicat-
ing that they knew where he was, he
was allowed to go.
The boys father is a commission
merchant in small way in st. Paul,
and Wadham, in his letter to him, ex-
pressed the hope that the youngster
could be kept at home and educated on
account Of his unusual brightness.
At the instance of Captain Kelly the
boy was rearrested last night and once
more removed to the Detention home.

the effect that not since 1896 have times
been SO bad for the laboring man in

Conditions he said have gradually

far from Ha,tering. A little over one

following the financial stringency. men
thrown out of work were principally
laborers-- such as factory men and
women, clerks, transfers, day laborers.
etc. Inability to get currency with

thrown many members of the trades
out of work. President Urick reports
that building throughout the state is
practically at a standstill. Projected
improvements have been abandoned be-
cause of IA shortage of funds.

Even cities and counties which had
planned improvements that would fur

the tightness of the bond market are

currency makes money brokers retcemt
about buying these bonds
Mr.. Urick Is not In the least optirnis-
