and was with them indicted by the
grand jury of Sacramento county for
bribery and who jumped his bail here
October 10, 1905, returned to this city
yesterday a free man after four years

Wright was a member of the house
for six years and was elected to the
senate in 1904 The crime for which
Emmons and Bunker have served time

BALKAN CRISIS CHECKED
PENDING SERVIA'S REPLY
Austria's Latest Note Said to Be Con-
ciliatory-Russia in Diff
cult Position

BERLIN, March 7.-Since the Austro-
Hungarian government has set March
81 as the limit within which it expects
Servia's reply, following the interview
that Count Fergach, Austrian minister
at Belgrade, had with the Servian adj
ministration, it is believed no striking
development is likely before that time.
Count Fergach, in addition to notify
ing Servia his government was in po-
sition to submit a renewal of the COM
tries for parliamentary sanction, also
informed the Servian government that
Austria hoped Servia would notify his
government of change of position with
regards Servia's attitude toward Bosnia
and Herzegovina.
Austria's note with regard to this
matter is described as conciliatory and
not in the nature of an ultimatum.
1t appears to be the conviction that
Russia is not in a position to hazard
war in behalf of Servia as her in
ternal political situation is such that
no guard regiments could be sent from
the capital, nor could the other garri-
sons be reduced much below their pres
ent strength.
1t is thought, too. that should Russia
become involved in war, Russian Po-
land would be likely to rise.
This would mean vast expenditures.
the result of which would be national
bankruptcy.
France also would be unwilling to
consent to Russia's risking war; as SO
many millions of French capital are in
vested in Russia.

POLICE CAPTURE
2 DESPERADOES
BOYS ADMIT ROBBING PEpES-
TRANS ON EAST SIDE
Youths Unable to Give Satisfactory
Explanation, When Questioned
Break Down and Confess
to Holdups

Joseph Gotta, 10 years old, and Bert
Carter, 20 years old, both fresh faced
and athletic in appearance, are prison.
ers at the east side workhouse with a
charge of highway robbery booked
against them. According to the police
they have admitted their guilt and are
willing to plead guilty and take what
ever sentence the court may impose.
The first robbery of which the two
youths are accused occurred at 7:15
o'clock last night when ]. f. Watkins
of 432 West Avenue 81 was held up on
Monte Vista avenue between Avenues
so and 81 and robbed of 81.
Watkins was on his way to his home
when he was\ confronted suddenly by
two young men dressed in dark cloth
ing, both masked, and one of them held
a blue barreled revolver in his hand.
Watkins was ordered to throw up ms
hands and while the youth with the
pistol still kept the weapon leveled at
him the other young man searched his
pockets and took therefrom the small
change which he had They then or
dered him to go down the street and
not to give an alarm on penalty of be-
ing shot.
Fifty minutes later Mrs. Thomas
Preston, who lives at 3710 Pasadena
avenue, telephoned to the east side
police station that two men were hold
ing up two men in front of her house.
Sergeant Adams and Sergeant
Sparks, who were in the station at the
time were at once detailed. In the
meantime Mrs. Preston had alarmed
the neighborhood where the robbery
took place and her husband, accompa-
MED by Deputy Sheriff H. d. Watts
and A. G. Dixon, who live in adjoining
houses, ran to the scene of the robbery.
They saw the footpads in the distance
hurrying away, and Deputy Sheriff
Watts fired three shots at the men,
commanding them to halt, but the bull
let's seemed to cause them to run faster
and they soon disappeared in the dark
ness. The two men who had been held
up stopped only long enough to say
that they had been robbed of $3.50, and
they, too, disappeared.
Sergeants Adams and Sparks on the
way to the scene of the robbery en-
countered two men walking hastily on
the railroad track near Avenue %, and
who answered the descriptions of the
robbers. They We're stopped and asked
to give an account of themselves. Their
explanation not being satisfactory they
were taken to the east side station,
where after a few minutes questioning
they broke down and confessed they
had committed both robberies.
The prisoners refused, however, to
say where they live or who they are,
except to give the names under which
they were booked. The police have no
knowledge of their records. 1t is be-
lieved, however, they are new to the
business of holding up people and that
they live somewhere in the neighbour
hood of the scene of their crimes.

overlooking the fact that he was car
rying a gun which was entirely out OF

stunt for twenty days. much to his
expressed disgust for carrying conceal

Indignation was at high pitch at po-
lice headquarters today and strong
arms were itching to get an opportu-
nifty to ply stout rawhide whip over
the bare back OF Frank Tattle who was
arrested last night for brutally kick
ing his frail and defenselss wife. 1t
is stated that the unfortunate woman
has borne her husbands cruel treat

could stand them no longer She suf-
fered much, but drew the line at kicks

TREASURY DEPARTMENT Off.
FIcIALs SAY COURTS MUST DE.
eide STATUS or GOODS WHICH
ARRIVED AUG. TOO LATE roo
BE REGISTERED THAT DAY.

Washington, Aug. 1o.-In the opins
ion of the treasury department oflciala
the courts will be compelled to flx the
status OF foreign goods which arrived
at the various ports OF entry too late
to be admitted on Aug 8, the last day
the Dingley tariff rates were effective.
Protests are being received in great
numbers against the early closing oA
the customs offices on that day.
The usual hour of closing the cus-
toms offices is 4:30 p. m. There had
been rush Of steamships to reach the
port of entry In order to unload their
consignments OF imports before the
close OF the day. The ships were
laden with goods n which the duties
had been raised and # meant big pro-
fits to the consignees If the goods were
admitted at the old rates. In New
York, Boston, San Francisco. Chicago
and Galveston the collectors had been
asked by importers to keep the cns-
toms offices open until the imports
could be registered.
Collector Loeb consulted the customs
division OF the treasury department by
long distance telephone at 4:30 p. m.
and was told to close the doors of the
New York warehouses half an hour
later The call was received from
Chicago, and the collector In that city

Wheat Gossip.

Chicago, Aug. 10--Wheat: The
Liverpool market was weak and lower
throughout most OF the sessions, clos
ing prices showing decline of q to /
for futures. A rally took place during
the morning on the large decrease in
European visible, S,664,000 bushels and
some bad crop reports from Germany
and Hungary but all the advance was
lost at the close. Continental mar
kets were all lower. Market opened
weak at Is to cent per bushel decline,
with heavy selling chiefly In liquida-
ton. While the best buying was un-
doubtedly to cover short sales, market
showed small rallying power, outside
markets being fully as weak as our
own, the futures issued yesterday by
the department of agriculture were a
complete surprise to the trade at large
and was, Of course, the motive for fur
break in wheat and expect lower prices
At the same time 1t must be borne in
mind that the northwestern crops are
not actually secured yet and they are
having considerable rain in that sec
ton. Reports from the Canadian
northwest dwell on the fact of the
wheat ripening very slowly. The short
side is becoming very popular and it is
quite likely we may get an oversold
condition which might give us a sharp
rally We therefore advise against
too much enthusiasm on the short side
on weak spots.

CONTRACTING WORK
WELL KNOWN FAReoAN, so LONG
THE RIGHT HAND MAN OF
JAMES KENNEDY, STARTS IN
BUSINESS ON HIS OWN HOOK

L. w. Schruth is in the contracting
business for himself, after being as
sociated with Contractor Kennedy for
sixteen years.
Mr.. Schruth has decided to go into
a regular municipal contracting busi-
ness and will bid on all jobs for paw
ing, sewers and watermains. He has
already secured one or two contracts.
Till mis- successor is chosen he is
still in charge of Mr.. Kennedy's bus
mess.
Mr.. Schrutn is an old timer in Fargo,
this being his thirtieth year in the
city. He came the year before Mr..
Kennedy and the two have always
been great friends.
MIR. Schruth has been an alderman
for many terms. He was clerk OF the
district court for years and held other
responsible positions. He knows the
municipal contracting game from start
to finish and should make success of
the new movement.
The severance OF the business re-
lations between Messrs. Kennedy and
Schruth was purely friendly and
there is no Ill-feeling on the part of
either.
