her, we can tell you"
This was the suggestion made to JUS

women from Ransauer Station, Just

cluded to infiict punishment in his own
way and told the women to go home
and return to court this morning with

Turmoil and tribulation have marked
the past eighteen months at Ransauer
Station, or since the date when Mrs.
Sadie Townsend caused the arrest of
Mrs. Lota Slike on a charge of dis
turbing the peace. Following that un-
toward event epithets, mud and bricks
have been exchanged, until yesterday,
when missiles becoming short, Mrs.
Slike caused the arrest of Mrs. Thomp-
son and two of her friends, Mrs.
Amanda and Mrs. Rose Dausch, sisters.
Armed with the warrants, Deputy
Constable Miklauschutz went to Ran

They refused to pay their fare, and
the deputy, being lily supplied with
funds, was compelled to enter into an
arrangement with the conductor where

COME FOR
j. 3. SLOANE
PROCURE REQUiSlTlON PAPERS
FROM GOVERNOR
ALLEGED SWlNDLER TO FACE
ACCUSERS
Physician, Mining Promoter and So
ciety Man to Be Taken to
Detroit to Answer
Charges

DR.. ]. Byron Sloane, club man, So
ciety favorite and alleged swindler of
more than a thousand people in De-
troit and Chicago on a fake mining
scheme, will be returned to Detroit to-
morrow to answer the charges against
him.
Last night Captain James McDon-
nell of the Detroit detective depart
ment and H. r. Bliss, representing the
district attorneys office of Detroit, ar
rived in Los Angeles armed with
requisition warrant signed by Lieuten-
ant Governor Warren Porter, acting in
the absence of Governor Gillett from
Sacramento, for the return of Sloane
to Michigan.
Upon the presentation of the requisi-
ton to Chief of Police Edward Kern
the prisoner will be turned over to the
eastern officers.
Sloane will then be taken into police
court and the fugitive warrant on
which he has been held, pending the
arrival of the police officials from the
east, will be dismissed and he will be
set free for at least one minute.
He will then be arrested on the gov
errors warrant and will be removed
from the custody of the California
courts.
Sloane Swindled Everybody
According to the eastern officers
Sloane's swindling operations extended
over a period of three years and en-
compassed every class of society from
the laborer on the streets who con-
tributed his few dollars to the banker
and merchant who was able to adj
vance hundreds on the nicely printed
but worthless mining stock which
Sloane had to offer.
Sloane is still confined in the bull per
of the city Jail, where he subslsts ex-
actly as any of the petty thieves and
other small criminals arrested by the
police.
He lives on Jail fare which, while OF
good quality, is not such as he has
been accustomed to and he has beer
shown no faVors over. any other pris-
oner except in that he has been granted
the privilege of seeing visitors at al
hours of the day.
In this respect Sloane has been the
star prisoner of the city jail, his visit
ors frequently running up as high az
forty a day, and never since his in
generation have less than six persons
called to see him during any one day.
No Move to Secure Release
Repeated rumors have been SCI
afloat that his attorney would secure
his release on bonds or writs of habea'
corpus, but so far no legal move has
been made to get him out of his pre-
dicament.
If any fight is to be made agains
his return to Michigan to face the
charges made against him there, i
will probably be precipitated by the
arrival of the eastern officers to TAXI
him back.

Especial to The Times Dispatch.l


NEWPORT NEWS. VA, March 49,
John Anderson, a sailor belonging to
the crew OF the new American steam
ship Lurline. died from heart failure
to-day during a fist fight with Peter
Cosin. @ fellow seaman, aboard the
Lurline. A coroner's jury exonerated
Cosin and had him released, but 1t is
probable that the young man will be
held for trial by the Warwick county
authorities when the Lurline sails for
San Francisco Sunday
Anderson and Cosin had a quarrel
In the forecastle of the ship. and
with three witnesses started in TO
settle their differences with their
fists. After a few minutes of fight
ing, Anderson fell down, and 1t was
soon seen that he was in critical
state. Before medical assistance could
be summoned he was dead. Cosin
seemed to be deeply affected by the
affair. He lost no time in notifying
the captain and remained at the side
of his late opponent until the end
came.
DR. B. r. Gary found that death was
caused by heart failure brought on
by the exercise and excitement. An
derson has sister in Washington, and
she has been notified.
