residence just west Of the electric

lightning struck q pole midway be-

violently TO the floor and render her
unconscious for few moments. The
bolt ran along the wires into the
light plant and into the engine room

An extract from one of the pages of

TRAMP NOT ALTOGETHER LOST
Wanderer Took Abuse from the Fa-
ther, but Saved the Child.

| George Tobin doesn't pretend to be
other than genuine, experienced and
thoroughly dyed wonder. He says
he has never killed any persons, has
never made a break that would be
considered burglary, has never de-
serted wife and several children, is
not addicted to drink and evil, and
works only when he strikes a section
Where there are no handouts.
The other morning he was approach
ing Waterville, Me-, says the Times of
that town, from sequestered village
OF Fairfield, intent upon working his
way to Lewiston on the bumpers. AS
he was passing through the entrance
on College avenue to Rowe street his
attention was attracted to a house
No. s, and he swung into the street
at swift pace.
Tobin approached the back door of
the house and was about to knock
when the portal was thrown open with
a bang, and a good-sized man yelled:
"Git out of this! We have fed all the
hoboes we intend to for the next ten
years.
Tobin started in conversation
twice, but his words were blocked, as
he was compelled, under the rapid fire
from the rear, to get out toward the
street. Reaching a safe point, Tobin
yelled:
Keep your grub, but you'd better
take that baby out of that screen. up
there before it breaks it's neck or
chokes to death"
John Cayoutte's boy OF two years
had managed to crawl partially
through broken screen in the Win
dow of the second story The child
was hanging head downward and was
strangling.
Tobin watched the father yank the
baby back to safety, and then poked
off down toward the railroad ward.
Telling the story to a group of yard
men who were intent upon frustrating
Tobin's purpose of free transit. he
said:
There comes the old duffer now"
Cayoutte came down the tracks to-
ward the men, and as he neared them
he discovered Tobin Cayoutte stepped
up to Tobin and said:
THE baby's all right. Will 50 do
| you any good?'

CARLSON CASES
ARE DISMISSED
IS CHARGES STRICKEN OUT
BY JUSTICE LING
ACTION TAKEN ON MOTION OF
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Receiver Evan Lewis Says There Is
Small Chance to Recover on
Assets of Consolidated

Fifteen cases against w. H. Carlson,
in which the aggregate of financial
mismanagement of the affairs of the
Consolidated bank is $S2,3S2. were dis
missed by Justice Ling yesterday on
motion of the district attorney, not
even preliminary hearings being held.
The cases were fifteen in number, six
complaints charging false entries to-
taling $22. 900 on the books of the Con-
solidated bank and nine accusing Carl
son of embezzlng a total of $6O,SS2 of
the banks funds.
One case only remains to be disposed
Of, and 1t is believed this also Will be
dismissed, jury having disagreed in
one trial Of the matter. This is the
case in which Carlson was charged
with embezzling $12765 belonging to the
bank in April, 1908. Another trial IN
Judge Davis court on charge or
making a false entry Of $500 Decem-
ber 2S, 1907, resulted in Carlson's ac-
quittal ten days ago.
The cases dismissed yesterday In
cluded false entries of $4,000 November
5, 1906; $340O and $1,000 February 1S,

$4,000 May Is, 1908 and $13,590 Septem-
ber 8, 1908.
1t was stated by Evan Lewis, re-
ceiver of the Consolidated bank, that
the weakest cases are the only ones
that have been brought to the trial
stage and he added, further payments
of money to depositors are extremely
doubtful, it being impossible to real
ize on the banks assets.
At the district attorneys office 1t was
stated that practically all the points
involved in all.th cases were consid-
cred during the two trials already had
and that further prosecution would
mean a large expense to the county,
while there were grave doubts as to a
conviction,

2 YEARS MORE
FOR HORSE THIEF
SONG WRITER GIVEN SECOND
PRISON SENTENCE
TOTAL OF SEVEN YEARS MUST
BE SERVED BY PERRY
Judge Davis Draws Picture of Warm
ing to Young Men Who Throw
Their Talents in the
Gutter

Robert Perry, the song writer, who
confessed to the thefts Of dozen
horses, number of buggies, sets of
harness and a motorcycle, was given
an additional sentence of two years at
San Quentin by Judge Davis yesterday
the Imprisonment to begin at the ex-
piration of the term of five years i'm
posed two weeks ago.
The first sentence Of five years was
imposed after Perry pleaded guilty to
q charge of stealing a motorcycle in
Pasadena. The sentence yesterday
followed a similar plea on charge of
stealing a horse, buggy and harness
belonging to J. @. Adams of Pomona,
August 20.
In passing sentence, Judge Davis
took occasion to speak of the evils Of
gambling, Perry, in his confession,
made shortly after his arrest, stating
he had been led to commit crime on
account of his losses in the pool rooms.
"There is nothing more laHentable
than the appearance Of young man
of your intelligence and capability to
hear the words spoken which are to
consign him to a felon's CELL" said the
court. 'I already have imposed a
five years sentence against you for
another larceny. These offenses have
been acknowledged, and you inform
me you have voluntarily made an open
breast of all the operations of crimi-
nal career, enabling restitution to
rightful owners of property you have
stolen. This is a strong corroborating
circumstance of the penitence which
you now assert ] trust that you VIII
be firm and steadfast in your determi-
nation to change your course of life,
and that, when your term of imprison-
ment expires, you will redeem your
record from the stain of the past"
Judge Davis expressed a wish that
other young men with evil tendencies
could be present to observe the folly
Of Perry's experiences.
"I WISH" he said, that all young
men Of this city with the tendency
to gambling or inclination toward the
downward path of crime could be here
to learn from you the folly of such
experiences. 1 believe that 1t would
have a more deterrent influence on
them than the prison sentence which
Is to be imposed. You know and could
tell them that their sins eventually
will find them out; that, independent
of the right and wrong involved, 1t
does not pay, and that, aside from the
matter of principle, honesty is the best
policy"
The other cases against Perry will
be dropped and he probably will be
taken to San Quentin today.
