Santa Barbara Woman Freed

SANTA BARBARA, Nov. n.-Mary
M. Cavallero. accused of the murder
of Walter Sproul last July here, was
acquitted late this afternoon on first
ballot. The jury was out less than ten
minutes. Each juror seemed to have
made up his mind as to the verdict
before leaving the box, as it was only
necessary to go through the formallty
of balIoting to arrive at the verdict.
Miss Cavallero was unmoved as the
verdict was announced. The audience
cheered. The women made no demon
stration.
The case went to the jury shortly
after o'clock, after a day spent in
argument by the prosecution, conducted
by District Attorney w. S. Day and
by the defense, ]. J. Squier. Temporary
insanity, self-defense and the 'unwrit-
ten law entered into the defense.

[. A. A. c. GOSSIP

A few members of the club, perhaps,
may be surprised that Taft won out in
the recent election, but it is safe to
say that the shock was not one-half as
great as was given a few OF the boys
yesterday when Bill Henderson and +.
w. Witt started on hunting trip. Ac-
cording to the mighty hunters, each
member of the club will have all the
game he can eat for an indefinite Pc
Rod after they return. A gasp of as
constituent was noted before the boys
started. Someone asked Billy what
they were going to hunt. Billy turned
pale around the gills as he blankly
loked at Witt, too surprised to even
carry on a bluff and name some wild
beast of the forest. Witt, however.
arose to the occasion and meekly whis-
pered one lone word, quail" Wits
bluff was called later, however, when
Henderson announced that the scene OF
the hoped for slaughter would be at
the Newport Gun club. Quail hunting
at a duck club was not to be enter
tanned by the boys, so Billy chimed in
and informed the boys that they
thought they were on a quail hunt,
land, anyway how do we know what
kind of birds there are at the gun clueE
We have not seen the place yet, and
we surely are not going to say they
are ducks when they might be quail.
Jack Nest Uttered at the statement,
but everybody else laughed outright.
The mighty warriors got started. how
ever, at II o'clock, and as each carried
a sandwich, in addition to thirty-five
shells Zone for each bird, to the limiD,
it is presumed that they will remain
out all night. OF course it is absurd
to imagine that they will get any
ducks, but the outing will do them
good.

ing to Los Angeles he was the basket

with the form shown by the boys who
reported for practice Tuesday night,
and spoke about Chester Moore as be-
ing particularly adapted to position

who wish to make the first team are
requested to meet in the gymnasium at
7:30 O'Clock tonight, when the second
practice game will be held.
The Southern California branch Of
the Pacific Amateur Athletic associa-

Captain Grindle also has removed his

HempePs line will average near 175
pounds and ought to present a stone

The entire Saints team held two
hours rehearsal yesterday afternoon
and are determined to roll up a larger

WHACKS ROBBER
WITH UMBRELLA

Miss Cleota de Wees Of Cleveland, o.,
severely punished a man who attempted
to rob her in Hill street, near Fifth, at
1920 o'clock last evening. She used her
umbrella SO vigorously that the man
fled in a panic, after receiving a sound
drubbing.
Miss de Wees was alone, walking
south in Hill street, when the man
suddenly leaped from the shadow of a
building and attempted to seize her
pocketbook. She struck him heavy
blow across the face and before he
could recover from his surprise belab-
ored him with several effective whacks
and pursued him down the street as ne
fled. Miss de Wees is visiting with

MANY BIRDS THERE
ASSERTS THAT LIMIT EASILY is
SECURED
Five Members of Moor Gun Club Get
Lawful Number of Birds During
Recent Shoot on These
Grounds

At last the gail have been found, and
1t took e. L. Hall, manager OF the gun
department of the w. H. Hoegee sport
ing goods house, to discover the place
where they are abundant and where the
limit may be procured easily within
short period of time. The much sought
for mecca is In San Diego county, In
the vicinity OF Fallbrook. Hall left Los
Angeles last Friday morning and re-
manned at Fallbrook until Monday
night During the outing he never was
without quail and the fact that the
shooting was good Is proved by the
statement of Hall, who said: Il never
saw so many quail before In my life.
I stood upon mound during my first
day out and by looking around could
see hundreds of them, all In plain sight
The birds looked to me like last year
birds, as they were unusually large.
The country around Fallbrook is devoid
of any brush, and man with a dog
would have little trouble in procuring
his limit without any effort" The fact
that Hall considers the hunting in the
southern county the best he ever run
into is ample proof that there Is an
abundance of quail. He is hunter OF
experience and is well acquainted with
the best hunting grounds in the west.
Moor Gun club was busy place Sun
day, and the five members who went
down there Saturday night procured
the limit of birds before noon Sunday.
George Cline of the Dyas-Cline sport
ing goods house has the distinction of
being the first to stop shooting, be-
cause he had got his lawful allowance.
e. B. Tufts of the Tufts-Lyon Arms
company left Los Angeles last night
for the Lomita Gun club, where he was
the guest of the members of the club

Jackson, Miss. August 4.-Superin-

Union Telegraph Company, is in the
city, having come here for the purpose
of going before the railroad commits
sion today in behalf of his company's
petition for authority to close ninety
six of tbs smaller offices throughout
the state.
The company claims that none of
these ninety-six offices pay, their gross
earnings averaging below So per
month, that they are an increasing ex-
pense to the company, without produc-
ing fair revenue.
No action has so far been taken on
the petition, but to Judge from casual
expressions dropped by members of
the board there is little chance that
!, the petition will be granted. One
member of the commission, Capt John
A.. Webb, has openly stated that he
does not favor the closing of any 1ele.

railroad company's office, and it is be
lieved this will be the attitude of the
commission as body Practically all
if not all, these offices are so oper
ated
While Mr.. Terhune does not define
the attitude of his company on con
tingency which might arose shoul'
this application be denied, it is gener
ally believed that the company viii
not stop at that, but may defy the CON
mission and carry the matter to tn

The contributions to the Bryan and

Bryan and Kern stand an excellent

will be needed to defray the actual ex-

money must come from the pockets of
