KIDNAPFR BLAMES
PARTNER IN CRIME
Asserts Escaped Thug Planned
Girls Capture and Set
Fire to Barn

FRESNO, July 1.-Grover Cleveland
Rogers. who on Monday evening kid
naped Edna. the IS year old daughter
OF AdOlph Domengine, was brought to
the county iail this morning from
Coainga and at noon told the story
of his crime. He says that both he
and Tony Lowell, his partner in crime,
who is still at large, were born and
raised in CoaIinga and knew each
other for years. A week ago Lowell
met him in a saloon and unfolded a
plan to kidnap the girl and hold her
for a $4,000 ransom.
Rogers says he al first would not
have anything TO do with the scheme,
but finally consented, lured on by the
promise that he would get half. lie
insists that he had never known the
girl or where she lived, but. he had
known the father and was friendly
10 him. Lowell. he said, had slight
acquaintance with the family.
Rogers said that on Sunday night
Lowell furnished him with pistol and
mask and both walked TO the Do
mengine ranch, where they hitched up
a pair OF horses to the rancher's buggy
as he was asleep. Rogers declares
that his partner set fire to the barn
and that he tried TO make him desist.
The men then took the girl in the
buggy. At Coalinga Lowell left his
partner, saying he would keep a look
out for the old man. The horses were
turned loose.
Rogers says Edna wore a pair of
overalls, shoes and coat, the last hav-
ing been thrown over her underclothes
The prisoner says he had cold feet
all the time. The girl, he said, was
quite jolly as the two walked three
miles TO the hills and that she trusted
In him implicitly
He declares he almost fell in love
with her.
He was caught in a grove of cotton
wood.
Lowell is supposed to surrounded Il
miles west of Coalinga in the hills A
posse of 100 men is in the vicinity
and his capture appears certain.

BIGGY SECURES
GARMENTS RELEASE
Cases Against United Railroads
Men Who Violated Ordi-
nance Are Dismissed

When the cases of the four motor
men, Lewis NJ. Chamberlain, Harry
Green, Charles Johnston and W. w.
Richards, charged with violating the
speed ordinance some time ago, were
called in Police Judge Shortalrs court
Yesterday, Policeman p. b. Mahoney,
the complaining witness. told the judge
that Chief Biggy- desired that the cases
be dismissed. The chief, he said, had
agreed TO this procedure on the prom
Use of the United Railroads that speed
ing would be stopped and any motor
man caught violating the ordinance
would be dismissed from the company
service.
The judge said that he would dis
miss the cases; as the chlets good
faith with the people must be upheld,
but he saw no reason why motorman
who violated the law should not be ar
rested at the time the same as chau1-
feur for violating the ordinance. There
were more people killed by motormen
than by chauffeurs and the same con
sideration should be extended TO the
one as to the other.

practical railway running into the
very heart of a great and growing
clty-wlth privileges and rights-of-
way completely surrounding the city
with franchise and right-of-way
to deep water on San Francisco bay.
The Ocean Shore is operating forty-one
miles of railroad-running from ten to
twelve trains every Sunday and carrying
all the people it can accommodate. Last
Sunday over 800 people were turned back
for lack Of cars to take them to the beaches
down the coast
The Ocean Shore is building its railway
to Santa Cruz-em employing 400 men, buying
rails and ties and doing an immense amount
Of grading and investing money in this great
work as rapidly as bonds are sold.
The Ocean Shore is now running to Gra-
NADIA, on Halfmoon Bay-carrying freight
and earning more money each day The
railway is progressing rapidly and Will soon
be in a splendid condition to accept all the
business offered. The bonds of the Ocean
Shore are better buy-a safer investment
today than ever before.
Over So, 100000 has been invested in this
road-the company owns $2,OO0,O00 worth
of real estate in San FranciscO-they have
acquired the most practical, convenient and
logical site for a terminal depot with plenty
of city land to care for the immense business
now in sight. s.xsse e..t .
Every dollar received from the
sale of bonds goes into the railway,
strengthening the security and in
creasing the assets, building up the
backing behind the bonds.
Ocean Shore Bonds pay investors
5.43qo interest on their money-pay
it promptly-pay it regularly twice
a year-Ocean Shore Bonds are sold
in denominations of $1OO for $93
for cash or $97 on the installments
Of $17 down and $40 a month.
When the railway is completed and times
become normal again $93 bond will prob
ably sell for $120, making a nice profit for
those who buy them now at $93 and $97 You
can make no better investment in these un-
certain times than to buy Ocean Shore
Bonds.
These bonds are not assessable or tax
able, or carry any liabilities whatever-you
simply buy the bonds and every six months
you get your interest.
Send your order today for Ocean
Shore Bonds and secure an invest
ment that will pay you 5.43% in
terest for q years.

When you buy Ocean Shore Bonds you
are in good company-you are among the
wise investors who know the value of these
bonds-who know that the Ocean Shore will
be great railway system earning millions
year-developing very fertile country
that is only waiting for railroad to open
up its immense resources.
The men who have bought Ocean Shore
Bonds recognize the integrity and ability of
the officers and directors of the Ocean Shore
appreciate the fact that these officers and
stock holders have invested their own mil
lions in the Ocean Shore and have acquired
sufficient amount of assets upon which to
base sound, substantial bond issue, amply
secured by first mortgage on the entire as
sets of the railway, amounting to over
$9,O00,O00.

Denver Markets.

Denver Union Stock Yards Aug.
17-Because of light supply of
cattle for several weeks values have
been advancing steadily here while
they declined at all other points
and prices paid were considerably
higher than the eastern markets.
Last week more liberal receipts
gave buyers an opportunity to get
prices somewhat into line with
eastern quotations but even then
Denver values are relatively higher
than prices paid at other points
and everything found a ready
purchaser A few loads were for
warded but the owner invariably
lost money by going on.
Fair to good range beef steers
sold at $3.50 to S4.35, choice kinds
were scarce. Choice COWS went
at S4.l0 and the bulk of the better
killers at 1925 to S3.75. Bulls
were scarce and firm at 81 to 81. .65.
Veals steady, tops selling at S5.25
and bulk of good light weights
bringing 81 to So Feeder and
stocker demand good but few
offered as shippers are holding the
thin stuff back expecting better
demand later. Offerings to-day
were 1000 head.
Hog demand is good and the
market higher, quotations to-day
ranging from S6.45 to $6.55. The
supply last week was fair but not
heavy.
Sheep trade was fairly good and
the market firmer at the close
though lower early in the week
Ewes S325 to S375; weathers $3.50

Now is the time of all times to
build, according to the men best
posted on such matters. Lumber
is much cheaper than it has been
in former years. According to the
organ of the lumber industry the
average cost of things in the build
ing industry is 2S.05 per cent. less
in the middle west than at this
time last year. Buildings are be-
ing put up to-day from 10 to %
per cent. less than they were II
months ago, and in addition money
is plentiful at a lower rate of
interest on good securities where
improvement work demands finan-
cial aid Everyone that has i'm
provement work to do should do it
as soon as possible.

general with farmers, as soon as
this years crops are all harvested,
to enter upon "A great movement

Mr.. Hisgen of West Springfield
received warm welcome from his
townsmen when he was nominated
by Mr.. Hearst's Independent party.
They call him Honest Tom and he
seems to be a good citizen. His
nomination he owes to his having
fought Standard Oil. He is a
manufacturer of axle grease, and
in the course of trade ran against
Standard, which naturally under
took to put him cut of business.
1t did not succeed, and hence the
sympathy and admiration of his
neighbors and his followers. He
is said to be good campaigner
and force to be reckoned with in
forecasting the November result.

CHILE CON CARNE
BY o. b. SERVER

"And there was | waiting for
the train" is the latest.
A novel sight is that of flowers
growing on the sprouts issuing
from the large exhibition spuds
in the Hahn real estate office win
dow.
Wonder if the government crop
expert when making up his statis-
tics of large apple crop took into
account the prospects on Dave
Gibbs four foot apple tree. How
ever, Dave will have to carry the
tree inside if the blossoms now
upon it ever mature into apples.
Judge McCunnitf returned from
Fort Garland the other day minus
his head gear The Judge says it
blew off as he was passing from
one coach to another and that his
pleadings to the conductor to stop
the train were in vain. Anyway,
says he, lit was an old hat and |
never could make it stay on my
head and | was glad to get rid of
it,"
The McCunnitf dog was missing
last week after the departure of
the Judge and along towards the
close of the day Frank found the
animal in the real estate office
sitting on the statutes of Colorado,
his head propped up on the ordin-
ances of the town of La Jara,
sound, fast asleep. Frank had un-
Willingly locked him in the night
before.
The people locally are either
given to living peaceably with one
another, not needing the services
of an interpreter of the law, or
they think they know the statutes
well enough to interpret for them
selves, and our only law Office has
been closed.
Geo. Durham felt quite putfed
up Monday evening. Said he had
done something he never had
done before-shod a $1,000 horse.
One of our local stations needed
new shoes and George put the
gentleman in his swing which was
just large enough to hold him and
no larger, while he tried them on.
We read in funny paper the
other day of person who asked
the agent if the train was coming.
The agent-it wasn't Hatfield -
looked out and said he guessed it
was, for the engineers dog was
coming down the track as he
usually did, pacing the train in.
Monday morning a dog followed
the excursion out and though he
fell through arroyo bridge he
didn't stop but kept on following
the train.
The La Jara chronicle., 1908-08-21

Mr.. Bryan in his speech of ac-
ceptance finds fault with Mr.. Taft
because Mr.. Taft has said some
thing about a few things that are
not in the Republican platform.
1t is historical fact that the main
performances of most big admins
trations have been on matters that
were not mentioned in the party
platforms. Two of Cleveland's big
performances were breaking the
strike in 1894. and defending the
Monroe doctrine: and neither of
them were in persuance of any
thing that had been contained in a
platform. Likewise Mckinley's
big performance was the handling
of the Spanish war-an event un-
foreseen when the platform was
made upon which he was elected.
Somewhat in the same way, Mr..
Roosevelt has not slavishly follow
ed the declarations of the platform
of 1904, but has made his own
platform as he went along the
platform which is substantially the
one upon which Mr.. Taft is run
ming now. People cannot be pre-
vented, and rightly so, from judg-
