TERRIER
DIES FROM POISON
ASCOT RosEBEN is VICTIM OF
MlScREANT
Canine Which Won Many Prizes in
Shows on Pacific Coast Ex-
pires After Being Taken
Out for Exercise

Ascot Roseben, the champion Boston
terrier of the Pacific coast; died yester-
day morning from strychnine poison
ing. Roseben was owned by j. w.
Brooks, the well-known fancier. Yes
terday morning he took three of his
dogs for an exercise around the block.
Soon after returning home Roseben
fell to the ground and expired.
Roseben was the pride of the Ascot
kennels and was a high bred canine.
He had taken many first and special
prizes in numerous dog shows through
out the country. He was valued at
$1,000.
1t is thought some one familiar with
the place watched their opportunity
and threw poisoned meat on the side
walk just before the dogs were taken
out for exercise. An examination of
the dogs stomach disclosed a chunk
of meat in which quantity of strych-
nine crystals were embedded.

Without Bond-Widow Is De-
clared Competent and Case
Is Dismissed

William Priester was yesterday ap-
pointed, without bond, to administer
the estate left by his father, Nicholas

probate the will, which was done dur
ing the afternoon, and William Priest
er, named as executor, was appointed
administrator of the estate, without
bond.

riage the estate was a small one and

to receive a large, share of the prop

enhanced in value but, it is said. was
disI osed of by Priester to his relatives
during his life, until at the present

ENDEAvOR To
GET RELEASE
FOR SUSPECTS
Movement Blocked BY Filing of
vagrancy Charges In Justice
Court-No Positive ldentifi-
cation of Men AS Yet.

Yesterday morning an attempt was
made to obtain the release Of the two
Mexicans being held in the branch
county jail on suspicion of being tn
men who were implicated in the muir
der of r. w. Watson one week ago
in the local railroad yards. The
movement failed as the men were n
arrested on charge of vagrancy, and
their hearings are set for January q
and %, until which time they viii be
held in jail unless they can furnisi.
bond in the sum of $50 each.
Although the men have been idens
titled as Carlos Real and his compan-
ion. the Identification has not been
made absolute, and the officers want
to exhaust every means Of obtaining
information about the prisoners be
fore placing a charge of murder
against them, or allowing them their
liberty if it is established that they
are not the men wanted.
Since B. W. Norton identified the
men in the Jail at Naeo positively as
the men a doubt has sprung up in his
mind, and he states that In his opin-
ion there is possible chance of the
prisoners not being the right men.
Frank Bauer, deputy sheriff at Lowell
has been unable to identify the men
positively but says that one of the
prisoners is either Real or his double.
Mexicans have denied that either one
OF the prisoners is Real There arc
other people in the district who knv
Real and the prisoners will be shown
to them today.
Yesterday morning S. A. Merritt APP
peared before Justice Hogan and re-
quested that the prisoners be re-
leased as they had been held In Jail
and no charge had been filed against
them This movement failed as Con-
stable Twomey Immediately placed a
charge of vagrancy against each of
them.
The prisoners were .arraigned in
court on the vagrapcy charges and
pleaded not guilty. The justice set
the trial i'of the man who says his
name isl Valentine Martinez for the
afternoon Of January 25 and that o.
Eduardo Valenzuela who is believed
to be Real for January 81. Jury trials
were demanded.
n within the next couple of days
corroborative evidence of the fact
that one of the prisoners is Real can
be secured he will be charged with
murder. But on the other hand it,,
as is possible, 1t is proven that Meth
er of the men is the alleged murderer
they will be given their liberty.
