brace and kiss her, greatly frightening
the young lady
The man, it is said, cursed her out
rageously, using the most insulting
and abusive language, which the girl
told Sheriff Feagin she couldn't re-
peat. She lives out upon the suburbs
here, and is an orphan.
1t was for this offence the men were
arrested by the police, to whom in
formation was phoned
AS the police officers started to
make the arrest the men hurriedly
took papers from their pockets and
tore them into small bits a. though

torn papers upon the ground.
But Sheriff Feagin and Officer Tins
ley were not to be thus thwarted The
bits of paper were all gathered TO-

SAM FRANCISCO
TIE Only PLACE
Il i..s an. ! otMor Of Detroit Boosts
the Exposition.

w. B. Knickerbocker, prominent
manufacturer. of Detroit, Mich, is an
enthusiastic booster for San Fran
cisco in the fight for congressional
approval of it's proposed Panama-Pa-
cific exposition.
81 believe that if the members Of
congress could be brought out to Cal.
ifornia and given a glimpse of things
as they exist here they would vote
solidly for San Francisco when the
exposition matter comes before them
next December said Mr.. Knicker-
booker.
ct is human instinct to move
westward, and the great movement
toward western America is just now
beginning. This is great, marvel
Gus, new country. of which we in tie
east know next to nothing.
/. There is no travel south. The ex-
position belongs here where the peo-
pie are coming. They will come to
the exposition through the canal and
then go back through this marvellous
western country. Many, however,
impressed by the marvellous re-
sources of California, will remain
here for good. This scenery, the
mountains, the forests and all the
rest of it is not approached by any
thing in Europe. Thousands of peo-
pie who now go to Europe would
rather come here if they knew what
is here. They are beginning to learn.
The exposition will do wonders for
the west. The interest of the coun-
try at large demands that the expo
sition be held here"
