CAPTURE HOLLY
IN LONG CHASE
SUSPECTED HORSE THIEF Is
TAKEN AT SAN FERNANDO
MAKES FULL CONFESSION WHEN
LODGED IN JAIL
Prisoner Is Accused of Being One OF
the Most Daring Criminals in
the State of Call
fornIa

After O. running chase lasting five
hours county authorities and ranchere
of San Fernando yesterday ran down
and captured Joseph Holly, alias Char
ley Graft Fritz Graft, Charley warren
and perhaps a dozen other names. Holly
is regarded as one of the most per-
sistent and successful horse thieves
that has operated in this part Oh the
country stories of his thefts coming, IL
is said, from all parts of the state.
He was brought to Los Angeles and
placed in the county jail. There he
made full confession to Sheriff Ham
mel and promised to plead guilty TO d
charge of grand larceny. This Will De
lodged against him by the district at
torney within a short time.
Deputy Sheriff H. G.. Wright has been
on Holly's trail since March last, at
which time the Los Angeles county Of
ficers were notified by Sheriff Kelly of
Kern county that two valuable horses
had been stolen near Bakersfield. The
description given then tailed with that
of a man known to have operated ex-
tensively in this county of late, anu
when confronted yesterday with the m
formation in the hands of Wright, Holly
gave way and owned up to his crimes.
The fact that Holly never ventured
into sales stables to carry out his thefts
is believed to have been the reason why
he has for so long a time eluded the
officers. His method was to hire rid
ing animal, ride it to an adjoining town
and sell it to some private individual.
The breaking of this rule resulted in
his capture. Thursday he secured a
horse from the Pony livery stable at
San Pedro. Riding the animal to San
Fernando he tried to exchange it at
another stable at that place. The pro-
prietors suspicious alarmed Holly, and
when he fled he was followed by large
number of persons.

CHRISTIAN SOCIALISTS
SUPPORT FREE SPEECH

The following resolution supporting
the free speech fight was adopted at
the meeting of the Christian Socialist
Fellowship Thursday:
Resolved That the Christian Socialist Fellow
ship expresses sympathy and Endorsement of
Tie fight the Salvation Army is making for
zee speech. We hold 1t to be unconstitutional
to restrict territory for free speech. or to give
ST ecial privileges to any organization or per-
son. AS the Socialists won in their great fight
.or free speech without special privileges, so
may the Salvation Army win against restricted
territory Thus only Will the good city of Los
Angeles become obedient to the constitution of
The United States. Obstruction of traffic and
blockading streets are the only conditions with
which the authorities have any right to inter-
fere. All complaints of residents against
street speaking up to the hour Of 10 p. m. are
unreasonable and SAVIOR of dishonest purpose.
One might as well complain of the noise of
street cars. Surely communication Of ideas,
obtained unsolght and instantaneousy the
streets are as vitality necessary to progress and
development as bodily communication by
travel on street cars. and not nearly so noisy

Wreckage EntangIed In Engine Pre-
vents Electric Turning Over and
This Circumstance Averts
Many Fatalities

Motorman A. @. Williamson, 1888 East
Pico street, who was badly injured
when the West Jefferson street car,
which he was running, was struck by
Southern Pacific switch engine at Third
and Alameda streets at IL o'clock yes
terday morning, is reported to be rest
ing quietly at the emergency hospital,
where he was taken Immediately after
the accident, and the physicians say he
will be all right in several days. lie
sustained a slight conclusion of the
brain, a number of bruises about the
head and several slight decorations
about the body
The others who were Injured are:
Conductor j. C. May, 759 ottawa street,
slightly cut about the face and hands,
by flying glass; o. w. Lille and Mrs.a
D. Staley of Fullerton, passengers,
hands, face and head-cut with glass;
injuries painful but not serious; En-
gineer r. Bell and Fireman f. e.. Maggie
were slightly shaken up when the col
lision occurred.
That all the occupants of the street
car were not instantly killed is consid-
cred marvellous. Patrolman Bennett,
who witnessed the accident, says the
motorman was to blame. The OFFICER
states that instead of waiting for
Ego ahead" signal from the conductor,
Motorman Williamson attempted TO
cross the railroad track and the switch
engine, which was running nortn,
crashed into the street car, turned 1t
almost at right angles to the track
and tipped 1t at dangerous angle.
The street car was running east and
had stopped at the railroad crossing
because of freight train going south.
Disregards Signal
When the last car had passed the
rd
track was clear. The motorman failed
to wait for the customary signal, but
started his car. The freight train had
concealed from view an approaching
engine going north and the motorman
evidently anticipated a clear" signal
from the conductor. The conductor,
however, saw the danger and waved
frantically to Williamson to stop and
reverse the power.
Before Williamson could act the ten
der of the engine struck the car at the
front part of the uninclosed portion and
tore the entire front end into spl1nters.
The unfortunate motorman was buried
beneath the wreckage and the passen-
gers were severely jostled about and
cut with the flying glass.
He was unconscious when taken from
the wreckage and was hurried to the
emergency hospital where he recov-
cred consciousness later.
But for the fact that the car was
prevented by the wrecked portion be-
coming entangled in the engine from
turning over 1t is believed all on board
would have been killed.
The others were treated at their
homes.

business. He prepared apartments for
himself and wife, he said, but on Mrs.
Goodwin's return from Europe in Sep
TENDER she moved all furniture she
wanted to another room and refused to
share the suite with him.

asked her if she intended living with
him and she replied in the negative.
Shortly after he left for the west and
built home at Los Angeles and hoped
that his wife would share 1t with him.
He sent his manager, G. o. Weeden,

BLOCK POSSIBLE
Mining SWINDLE

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10
Through the miscarriage of a letter
the police believe they were able to
block smooth mining swindle about
to be perpetrated by James E. Nc
Mann, who was arrested in company
with his wife yesterday.
McMann ordered 1000 copies If
stock certificates closely resembling
those of the West End Consolidated
Mining Company of Tonopah. A let
ter addressed to him by the printing
concern fell into the hands of the
officials of the mining company, who,
not having ordered any stock certifi-
Gates, put the matter into the hands
of the police. A trap was set, and
when Mrs. McMann called for the
certificates yesterday afternoon she
was followed and on meeting her hus-
band the two we're arrested. Nc
Mann claimed he was about to float
another company. His wife, who
knew nothing of the concern, was re-
leased, and, inasmuch as the police
have nothing with which they can
charge McMann, it is probable he will
be given his liberty also.

.BOVARD CASE
REACHES COURTS

COURTYARD the course of a mining
camp takes its way. This is a rough
paraphrase of the hackneyed saying,
but it serves to illustrate a truth be-
coming more and more established
by the experience of the District
Court in mining litigation.
OF late it has become the regular
thing to look for a mining suit at
least one month after a new camp
is discovered and often stream of
litigants pour into. the courthouse
represented BY the flower of Reno'r
legal talent.
This was the case with Rawhide
and before that with Wonder and
Fairview, not to speak of Seven
Troughs and Others whose brilliance'
is obscured by the bright limelight
that comes from new strike.
At present the attention of the
District Court is taken up with a
lawsuit which promised to get the
camp of Bovard into the books but
which is now in fair way to settle;
ment.
The case in point is that of Fred
Ray VS.. Bert Knapp, A. l.. Deadman,
Charles Thrailkill, Frederick j. Bass,
the First Bank of Rawhide AMI
others. and involves $32,50O, the
purchase price on the Golden Pen
and Aeronaut claims in Bovard. Ray.
in his complaint. stated that he had
grubstaked Knapp to go into the b.
ward district and locate claim or
two and that during the life of the
agreement Knapp located the Golden
Pen and Aeronaut claims, sold the
claims to other defendants for $685.
900 and would not divide the pro-
ceeds
Knapp's answer tells an entirely
different story. He says he made an
agreement to go into the White Horse
canyon for Ray and did locate one
claim, the Broncho. with the aid of
a pick, shovel, fuse caps and powde
and $14 worth OF grub. but that Ray
refused to give him any more grub
and the contract ended.
The parties were in court yester-
day morning and after some argu-
ment between j. b. Jones for the de-
PENDANTS. and William Schnitzer for
the plaintiff. the case was continued
to the afternoon session. 1t was
again continued in the afternoon on
advice that the parties were negotiat-
ing for settiement.-Reno Journa;
