MEETS INTRUDER IN DARK
Hopkins Chastises No. /, and
Then Encounters No. 2,
Whom He Also Furnishes
MEETS INTRUDER IN DARK

Two Youthful would-be burglars ran
into hard luck last night when they
attempted to ransack the home of d.
w, Hopkins at 1910 Valencia street.
Instead of making q rich haul OF
money, 1ewelry and other articles they
carried with them a variety of SOU
venirs in the shape of black eyes, con-
fused lips, broken noses and lacerated
ears, presented by The liberal Mr.. Hop
kins, who beat them with his fists until
he became fatigued, then allowed them
to limp away.
Hopkins was in bed when he heard
a noise in the rooms downstairs. His
daughter and a young friend had just
left for the home of the latter, where
Miss Hopkins intended to pass the
night. Believing that the young wo-
men had returned for something he
called and asked what they wanted
The noise ceased and there was a Pc
culiar stiffness. This aroused his sus-
picions and when he again called his
daughters name and received no re-
Spouse he donned a bathrobe and hur-
ried downstairs. Just as he reached
the ground floor he bumped against a
man.
without waiting for preliminaries
Hopkins struck out with a right hook
and landed hard on the intruder's jaw
The force of the blow propelled the un-
lucky burglar toward the front door
Before Hopkins could follow up his
advantage the thief opened the door
and ran out with the irate householder
in close pursuit.
CATCHES FLEEING BURGLAR
Despite the fact that Hopkins was
somewhat handicapped because of the
flowing bathrobe, he made a good race
and caught the fleeing burglar. Hop
kins disdained merely to arrest the
young fellow, but began to play tattoo
on his face, following up his blows
with kicks, when the wilted bandit
finally broke away and escaped another
run for liberty. Satisfied with the
punishment he had inflicted on the
burglar, Hopkins returned to his house
prepared to get a little sleep. Just as
he stepped on the porch the front door
opened and burglar No 2 walked out.
what! Another one?" gasped the
tired Hopkins. Here's where L get
busy again."
where did you come from?" de-
manded Hopkins of the youth.
The latter suffered for a reply and
the program of burglar No. was re-
peated. Although quite fatigued from
his exercise on No. l, Hopkins proved
that he could "come back by polishing
off the second man in as artistic
fashion as the first.
When he returned to his room and
prepared to retire 1t occurred to Hop
lltns that the men should be arrested.
Accordingly he rang up the detective
bureau and notified the officers Of the
matter. Detective Jones investigated
the case and obtained information
that probably win lead to the arrest
of the couple today.

CIRCULAR PUT IN EVIDENCE

Are the members OF the society op-
posed to suffrage for women in Califor-
mia working with the society OF the
Royal Arch against suffrage for women
lin California?
This question agitated members of
the suffrage party here yesterday. A
letter was received at the Political
Equality league headquarters which
contained what appeared to be proof
that this is the fact, whether or not 1t
is recognized by the officers and MEM
bers of the "anti" society.
The information came in the form OF
printed circular which evidently has
been used in an attempt to influence
members of the state legislature. 1t
was sent to the officers of the Political
Equality league in q note from G. w.
Wyllie of Dinuba, in which he regret
ted his inability to be present at the
banquet tomorrow evening. In closing
his letter he says:
II am with you, heart and soul. and
will be ready to fight your battles at
the capitol
"I have already received a circular
letter besmeared all over with insults
not only to women but to the intelli-
gence of the members of the legisla-
ture. Will send 1t along, but request
that you use II and return it to me. 1t
is undoubtedly from the Royal Arch
crowd. 1t Is good literature TO use IN
the legislature. Can you find It's or
igin? Respectfully,
"G. w. WILLIE"
SAMPLE OF INSULT
One of the insults to members of the
legislature to which Mr.. Wyllie refers
may be found in this sentence quoted
from the circular:
"The professional suffragists and
their male adherents intend to fasten it
upon this state, with its injurious leg
islative extravaganceS, whims and fads.
and the closing OF all distilleries, brew
cries, wineries and saloons
Active inquiry Is being instituted by
members of the suffragist party here to
ascertain the sender of this circular,
and as 1t is covered with marginal
notes they believe it may be possible
to identify the sender as a woman high
in the ranks of the antis.
Up to this time members of the Po-
lltical Equality leagne, Votes for Wom-
en- club and other organizations of the
sort have not charged the antis with
being cognizant of the force which, II is
alleged, is behind their organization.
They believe that the prominent wom-
en- of the social and educational circles
organized in an effort to keep women
from enjoying the privileges of the bal
lot have no knowledge of the activities
of the Royal Arch in the same direc-
tion.

An Early Spring Fish Lie

The Carlisle fish ller sends this
one to the daily papers:
John Guy, while fishing in Lick
ing river near Upper Blue Lick
Springs in Nicholas county, made a
peculiar catch. He caught a small
bass weighing about a half pound,
and, after putting it on the fish
string, put it back into the water.
In short time after he had resum-
ed fishing he noticed disturb
ance of the water where he had
placed his string, and drawing II
out was astonished to Sc had a
bass on the string weighing several
pounds. At first he was unable to
see how his small fish had grown
In such small time, and, upon in
investigation, found that he had
two bass instead of one on the
string. The larger fish had swal'
lowed the smaller one and had be-
come fast to the string"

TALE OF YACHTING CRUISE
How Hostess Arranged Breakdown
and Got Rid Of Her Bored
Guests

few seasons back a well-known
hostess chartered q splendid yacht for
August and invited a large number oil
her friends for three-week cruise. AT
first all went we'll, though the party
was not specially we'll assorted; but
after few days they began to evince
signs OF being somewhat bored with
each others company.
The hostess marked these signs OF
incipient boredom. which became more
plainly evident each day, and at last In
despair she took counsel with one OF
her guests. an old and experienced
yachtsman.
What on earth shall I do to amuse
these people?" she asked.
The yachtsman looked at the serene
sky and calm, blue water, and shook
his head doubtfully.
"A storm would enliven them I'D p
Bit" he said, but the weather looks
quite settled. There is only one thing
TO be done. You must arrange a break
down, the engineer will manage that
all right for you. He has probably
often done 80 before. Then you must
make for the nearest port for repairs.
and let your guests have a run ashore
Some OF them, expect, will find an
excuse for bidding you good-by and
those who remain with you will get
along all right together"
The hostess took her guests advice
and arrived at Toulon a day later
where nigh twenty Of her guests bid
her good-by.-M. A. p.
