A PAIR OF TRUMPS.
Make Their Getaway From the City
Bastile.

Basti1e.
Last Sunday evening landlord }.
E. Maxwell of the Hotel Ell Captain
had his suspicious aroused that two
of his "star boarders
Duncan, alias ]. Carroll Nicholas,
and o. c. Root-were contemplating
a move to other fields, so he demand
ed that they either "pay up or show
up" On their failure to come
through" Mr.. Maxwell called in
Constable Weist. and he in turn call
ed up Justice Chritton. For some
reason a short truce was called until
about the time for the arrival of tn:
train from the west. when one OF
ped upstairs to the room they had
occupied. Throwing out their suit
case to his companion below the two
tried to make their getaway. But
Just about this time Col. Lockhart
received a message from Fowler to
be on the watch and try and inter-
cent the pair, SO he took after one
while the constable made trek for
the other. and a little while later
there was a meeting in the Marshaps
office at which Justice Chritton pre-
sided. criminal complaint was en-
tered by Landlord Maxwell, court
convened, the charge was read as
well as the law relating to beating
board bill.
One pleaded guilty and the other
not guilty to the charge. The one
pleading guilty had nothing. with
to jail. The one who pleaded not
guilty was not able to give bond, SO
he also had to go to Jail to await
trial. And they were still pair.
Unon the advice of Prosecuting
Attorne- McDaniels, who was next
day called into the case. the hearing
was set for Tuesday morning, when
it was believed that more serious
charges might be brought. This was
borne out when Landlord Sigafoos
of Fowler put in an appearance Mon
day morning and identified the pair
as former ''star boarders" of his,
though they had then went by differ
ent names. He preferred extra
charges against the pair and they
were searched for stolen goods. but
nothing was found.
AS testimony showed them
viscd that every care be taken OF
them. but the corridor of the Jail
was thought pretty safe place. and
that is where they were kept. to the
confusion OF Caretaker Weist.
When breakfast was called Tues
day morning the birds had flown. 4
hole I2xI4 inches in the south Jail
wall made them trumps. And they
are still a pair, though they have
not since been seen. -.
For a description of the pair cal!
on Mr.. Weist. The Enterprise re.
-orter says that one was dark and
the other light Completed. The dark
one was about six feet tall and
weighed about 100 pounds. was
smooth shaven and about 40 years
old. He wore dark clothing and was
a gentleman in appearance. The
light one was of about the same size.
about 80 years old and weighed about
rso pounds. Should any of our read
ers run across the pair OF trumps,
kindly communicate with Constable

Letter From Mr.. Hines.
San Diego, Cal, Dec. 4, 1908.

San Diego, Cal, Dec. 4, zoos.
Editor Enterprise:
Dear Sir-As many OF my friends
in Rocky Ford asked me to write
them of my impressions OF Califor-
mia, and as I can not write each a
separate letter. avail myself OF the
opportunity OF writing them all in
one letter through the columns of
your paper.
| now have been here about FIVE
weeks and have had some time to
look about somewhat and as a whole
am well pleased with this part OF
California.
Ny wife's health, in the short time
we have been here. has greatly i'm
proved, her cough has entirely left
her and catarrh very much better.
and she is improving rapidly. I am
also well and working part of the
time.
The climate of this section of Cal
ifornia is certainly the best have
ever seen and I believe the best in
the world not excepting that Of Italy
and France. We are havinp bright,
sunny days. with temperature dur
in~ the middle of the day Of deg. to
6s deg, the nights are cool and one
or two blankets are required for COM
and doors oDen as he should.
The rainy season is just setting in
and ranchmen and pardners are
busy putting in grain and gardens.
/ shall probably remain here at
least two winters. Old settlers say
that after being in San Diego year
or two, one is spoiled for living any
where else, and If they go back east
| they are sure to come back to Cali
fornia.
Though this place has about all to
be desired in the way of climate, yet
it has its drawbacks the same as
other places. 1t is not the best place
in the world for poor man who de-
pends on the labor of his hands for
his support, as there is oftentimes
more hands than jobs, but If man
has a few thousand dollars to invest
in real estate and can buy and sell,
he can do we'll, as property is ad-
vancing and the future of this city Is
assured. 1t is a place of 10000 and
rowing, and it Is only a Question
of few years when it will be a
place of 100000 to 10000. In fact
there Is not place in the United
States that has as bright a prospect
of doubling or trebling its popula.
ton as San Diego. The city Is full
of carpenters and many of them are
out of a job, still there is much build
ing and it is expected there will be
much mere next season.
Trusting that this will find all my
old friends well, / am, Yours truly,
F. NJ. HINES.

w, c, T, u. Notes.

The meeting was brimming full OF
interest and disposed of some im-
portant business before the program
was opened. and although DR.. Kear-
by did not materialize to address the
ladies' or the subject of tuberculos-
is we had a good program. The W.
c. T. U. ladies are not bit wobbly
in discussing any subject. as was
shown last Friday with Mrs. Hattie
Green as leader. The ladies were
well armed and took aim in the right
direction toward the stamping out
of the white plague. But the sub
ject in question is of such vast i'm
portance that it was considered wise
to have an evening meeting and have
the various physicians speak from
their experience next meeting. Dec.

ished the Sexton.

The sexton of one church that keeps
open doors all day long didn't know
whether to regard the matter in the
light of a desec-ation or a devotional
exercise. He paid no attention when
the three women, watched by man
who stood at the lower end of the
aisle, walked the length of the church
and back again. Even when they made
the trip second time he scarcely gave
them a thought, but when the trio
started around the church a third time
and the man called out, Step little
more briskly, please he began to
wonder, and presently made inquiry.

man replied. q am physical culture

Late Hours for Rising In England.

There is one signal disadvantage in
London-and. indeed. In English life.
for the practice apparently embraces
the entire country-and this is the ap-
pallingly late hours for rising. Every
where is nine o'clock the breakfast
hour: nothing, SO 10 speak, is open till
ten o'clock, and this absolute loss OF
all the morning makes a great DIFF
ference II one has anything to do. On
the continent one may always have
breakfast by seven o'clock. as in our
own country; but the universal late
breakfast here. with luncheon at from
1880 to two and dinner at eight or nine
O'Clock. makes conditions difficult for
those accustomed to earlier hours.
