pearls Indifferent success crowded
their efforts and finally gancing at his
pole Schutter discovered his line show
ing indications Of fish at the farther
end.
He had just picked up clam she'll
and as a sort Of jest he tossed it to d
companion telling him to open it and
give him the pearl. The companion
carried out what he also looked upon
as Joke and o4ened the she'll OF the
mollusk. To the aInazen1ent of both
|men a splendid pearl, the size Of a
large. pea, perfect in shape and of a
beautiful pink tint was revealed.
Mr. Schutter showed the ind to a To-
cal jeweler who offered him $500 for

ing to a Gutenberg party for $475.

Cedar Rapids, July 14.-David RAN
dleman, formerly a railroad man with
headquarters in this city, has just re-
turned from Mexico after an absence of
several years. a large portion OF the
time having been spent as an inmate Of
a Mexican prison. Randleman went to
Mexico about five years ago and en-
gagged in railroading. In September.
1907, he was a conductor on the rail-
road running between Asus Calentes
and Sillo. On the 10th Of that month
the freight train Of which he was a
conductor was wrecked, resulting in a
disarrangem of the time card for
several hours. AS result Of the mix
up he forget to wind his watch At the
usual time, with the result that 1t was
twenty FIVE minutes behind the right
time. The next day he had orders to
meet a passenger train which was run
ming two hours behind schedule. Be
cause his watch was slow his train
failed to get into clear, and came into
collision with the passenger train on a
steep grade, with the Nsult that thir-
ty-one people were killed and as many
more hurt.
Confined In Prison.
Following the wreck, both Randle-
man and his engineer were arrested
and placed in solitary confinement. The
following day they were taken before
a magistrate, permitted to give their
statements and then returned to Jail.
A day or so later they were again
questioned, and again returned to their
cells, altho being allowed more liber-
ties. Randleman was held III prison
severty-two days and tfSa taken to
penttentiary. % the 18th Of May, 1908,
it was published in the newspapers Of
Mexico that RaAdleman had been SEN
fenced to two years and eight months
In the pealitentiary, and the next day
the Judge sent his clerk to report to
Randleman that this sentence had been
Imposed
Sentenced Without Trial.
He was not permitted to introduce
any testimony. but was sentenced
without a bearing after having been in
servitude nearly a year. An appeal
was taken to the Mexican supreme
court, which after four months affirm
ed the sentence. Randleman was.
however. allowed a time rebate for
good conduct, and was released on
Feb. 10. Of the present year. altho he
says the sulrsfhe court in affirming
the sentence did him the injustice to
make his prison term begin Aug. IL.
1905, nearly a year after he had been
placed in prison.
Randleman says that, outside Of his
heightened sentence, he was treated
very considerably by the Mexican
prison officials. However, the prison
menu was not such as would appeal
to an American unused to Mexican
diet.
