PRISONERS CLOSE CALL
FROM CREMATION

A woman who claims to be the wife of
week, was this week arrested and placed
in the city Jail, accused of. aiding DON
aid in his escape. The woman had her
hearing before Judge Harmon and was
bound over to appear before the next
grand jury. Owing to her physical con-
dition she was later moved to the Arte-
medical attendance.
AS was stated last week Donald was
in trouble here before for an ofense SIM
liar to the one for which he was serving
time at the time of his escape, and this
woman paid his fine tor that ofense.
The payment OF the fine left her almost
destitute, and it is thought that being
without necessary funds by which to
gain Donald's liberty the last time, she
aided him in breaking Jail. AT any rate
she was arrested under suspicion.
The night before she was removed to
the hospital. the woman answering to
the name of Mrs. Donald, put an cleo
trio light globe i'll her bed and it was no
time before the entire bed was afire.
Had it not been for Chinaman, who
was in another cell and who screamed
and attracted attention, the woman
would have been cremated. When aid
arrived at the Jail the place was envel
oped in smoke, and the woman was
found living almost suffocated on mat
tress which was fast burning up. When
she regained consciousness she said she
did not mean to fire the bed, but instead
put the lighted globe in the bed to keep
herself warm and that before the bed
had caught fire she had gone to sleep,
and that when she realized that the place
was afre she was too weak to summon
aid.

CAPTURE OF
A BEAR NEAR
NORDYkE

Last Wednesday the Wilson ranch in
the south end of the valley was the
scene of a capture of cinnamon bear.
The animal was first seen by farmland,
who Immediately made his discoveries
known to three vaqueros who are EN-
ployed on the ranch. The four men
secured horses and went in pursuit of
the bear, and after little searching the
animal was found. 1t was some little
time before the bear could be lassoed,
and it was not until it had bitten one of
the horses was it controlled Bruin was
brought to the Wilson home that night,
where it is at present. AS soon as a
cage can be fixed for the animal it will
be brought to Yerington and placed on
exhibition. The brute is a good sized
cinnamon bear, and is judged to be about
two years old. The sight of bear in
this country is quite novelty, and when
the rumor became afoat of the capture
of bear in the upper end of the valley
many thought the story bore contradic-
ton, but as the bear is now on exhibit
tion.at the ranch there are no possible
doubts as to the truth of the capture.

WOMEN'S CRUSADE
TO FREE RANCHER'S
DOG PROVES FUTILE
Santa Menica Pound Keeper seizes
Collie Belonging to Aged Negro
Bee Keeper Down from
the Mountains

Believing that they could relieve a
man and dog from distress, Mrs. r. L.
Horton and Mrs. Nary Briggs, two well
known Los Angeles society women,
took a trip to Santa Monica yesterday.
They had learned that a por old man,
a keeper of bees in Santa Monica can
yon, had come to town, that his dog
had been grabbed by the dog catcher
and that the owner was hanging
around the pound, tearfully begging
the pound master for his beautiful
shepherd, his only companion in the
canyon.
1t was the intention OF Mrs. Horton
to give the old man tag for his dog,
securing a license. When the two
women arrived at Santa Monica today,
however, they found that there was no
need of obtaining a license for the dog
as he did not belong in the city but far
away up the canyon. The animal had
been taken by dog catcher presum-
ably that he might compel the owner of
the dog, poor colored man, to give
him money for the release of his pet.
The old negro stayed in Santa Monica
all Sunday night, and finally did sue

payment of so cents

CLAIM HE FIRED AT
WIFE AND CONSTABLE.
FACES DOUBLE CHARGE OF
ATTEMPT TO MURDER
Resident of WIntersburg Seized by
Bystander, Handcuffed and I'M
prisoned - Has Been in
Trouble Before
Especial to The Heraid.I

SANTA ANA, Nov. &c. G.. South
ern, a resident of Wintersburg, was ar
rested at midnight Saturday, charged
with assault with intent to murder.
Today the complaint was sworn to by
A. Langto, deputy constable for Win
tersburg district, who alleges in his
complaint that Southern fired at him
point blank with a shotgun. Southern
was arraigned this afternoon and his
preliminary examination set for next
Monday.
Later another complaint against
Southern was filed by his wife, who
charges him with firing at her three
times with a revolver, with intent to
murder.
Southern came home late Saturday
night in an intoxicated condition, and,
it is is alleged, after abusing his wife
for some time suddenly drew re-
Volver and shot at her. The woman
ran screaming from the house and
alarmed the nearest neighbor, who sent
for a constable. When the officer ar
rived Southern is said to have met him
in the back yard and fired at him with
a shotgun. A bystander seized South
ern, and Constable Langto sprang on
him, handcuffed him, brought him here
and put him in Jail.
Southern has been in trouble before,
as some nine years ago he was con-
victed of murder in the second degree
and sent to San Quentin. Owing to
some technical error in the trial of his
case he was given a new trial, at which
the jury disagreed and the case was
dismissed. Mariana Cuero, an Indian,
was the man shot and killed by
Southern.
