80 much nerve force brought into play.
III 1t goes for politics or trade,
Ends gained or money made,
You have it not for the soul and God:
The choice is yours 10 SOW or pillow.
SO much water in TIE rill;
1t may go TO turn the miller's wheel.
Or sink in the desert, or flow n free
To brighten its banks in meadows greer

Only so little power each day.

Ere the life goes what shall it he:

REPORTERS CHARGED WITH
. Being BOLD, BAD BURGLARS

the pictures were rushed to the Elk
aminer office in time to be reproduced.
Beard the reporter says he was patted
on the back and his name put on the
bulletin board in the office. Then he
was arrested, and the prosecutor prom
ised him immunity from punishment
If he would implicate the men higher
up. 1t is said he placed the RESPONSE
bility on his superiors.
AS a result, another reporter, W..
r. Heustis, of the Examiner, was ar
rested and taken to San Diego. Hay
den Talbot. San Diego correspondent,
got warning and started for Mexico.
He chartered pilot boat, and was
two and three-quarter miles from
land and just preparing to board the
ship Culgoa for Magdalena when he
was overhauled. He was taken to
San Diego jail in the Black Maria.
He was arraigned with Beard and
Heustis and held in $4,000 bail for
preliminary hearing today. He ad-
mits that he was trying to leave the
country but denies that he had prom
ised the District-Attorney to appear
in court today. Talbot had to climb
down a fire-escape to reach his pilot
boat unobserved, but the District-At-
torney got the news quickly and pro-
cured a faster steamer.
Talbot insists that his pilot boat
was outside the three mile limit when
overhauled, and that he was arrested
when on the high seas. He will sue
for damages for false Imprisonment
When approached for running away
from his good friend the District-At-
torney, who has given him several
exclusives" recently, Talbot said he
had heard from Los Angeles that w.
R. Hearst had declared he will not
stand the expense of defending the
Examiner men in trouble.
