PECULIAR CASE
OF A PRISONER

About week ago Sheriff Regain
returned from San Quentin having
IN charge prisoner named Lane.
Lane originally escaped from the
penitentiary at this city and pro-
ceeded to California where he
Immediately broke into and out of
Jail several time before he was
landed in the big prison for safe
keeping. Upon the completion of
his term at the California pen he
was returned to this institution to
finish an eight year sentence he
having only served three months
when he escaped.
Frnm the old statutes it appe ars
that his sentence was running all
the time he was serving in San
Quntin. The law has since been
amended. The question is will
Lane benefit under the old law
that sent him to prison in this
state. If he does benefit under
this ancient law he will only have
to serve a comparatively short
time. He has an attorney looking
into the matter.
On the other hand the author
tiles at Red Bluff are looking for
him. He stated to the Sheriff that
If he had to 20 to prison he
wanted the Nevada pen as he had
all he needed of the confinement

LOST IN DEAH VALLEY

Last Monday while D. Bulette
and Ed Bevis of Rhyolite were
enroute to the Keane Wonder mine
by auto to convey Nick Kirchan
who had been injured at that
property to Rhyolite they picked
up a man who has been lost in
wastes of Death Valley.
The man had left Skidoo in an
effort to reach Rhyolite and
attempted to cross the desert that
has claimed so many victims and
which is so appropriately named.
The unfortunate man was delirious
and had it not been for the timely
discovery by DR.. Bulettl and Mr..
BeVls his bones would be bleaching
on that desolate waste of sand.
AS it was the demented man had
taken pocket knife and lanced
the roof of his mouth for the
relief that his own blood furnished
his parched throat. He was
brought into Rhyolite where it is
reported that he will recover
Bonanza.

IT KILLS THE
COMMON PASSENGER

In an editorial leading scien-
tific paper in It's commentator of
steel railway cars in operation
points out further fact which has
already. heen frequently noted in
common observation. That is the
fact that the very security of the
steel car to those who ride in it is
an added danger to those who are
in the wooden cars in the same
train, because in the case of a
head.on collision the momentum
of the train is expended in crush
ing the weakest elements of the
train.
To make up trains partly of steel
cars and partly of wooden cars is
therefore rolbirg Peter TO pay
Paul. Instead of removing the
dagger it merely distributes it
unequally. And Peter is the poor
or econt mical traveller who rides
in the day coach, while Paul is the
more affluent one who travels in
the parlor or sleeping car at an
advanced rate of charge.
1t is plain that the wooden car
must go entirely, and the all-steel
train must be the future mode of
railway travel. The steel car lasts
longer an / costs less for upkeep,
and its use would probably be an
economy instead of an additional
expense to the railroad CON-
panies, as ii certainly is to life
and limb.

RATTLE LOOSES
TO HANDY POKER

Woman's hereditary weapon
the household poker-came to the
aid of Mrs. R. L. Morgan of SGT
East Elliott street yesterday
afternoon in truly heroic style,
much to the injury of the outward
scenery of two-foot rattlesnake
which the hous 1eifc found coiled
on her screen porch.
The snake which was possessed
of one rattle and querulous dis
position gave the "back-away"
high sign as Mrs. Morgan stepped
on the porch. The distance to
safety was considerably more than
Mrs. Morgan felt she could make
IN a hop-step-and-jump specially
act, and for the fraction of a
second the situation presented
difficulties. =.
Her eyes fell on the familiar
weapon just at the psychological
moment, however, and before his
snakeship could remember the
tradition about women handed
down from his Garden of Eden
ancestor he had been mauled into
remarkably plastic pancake and
new delegate had arrived in

THE LARGEST AND OLDEST
LIVING THINGS IN THE WORLD

The big trees (Sequoia gigantea)
are found only in the Sierra
Nevada range at an altitude of
from $500 to 5000 feet. They
are the largest and oldest living
things in the world. Their only
near relative in the Sequoia SEM
pervirens found in the Coast Range
of California. The big trees of
the Sierra Nevada grow to an
altitude of $40 feet and have a
base circumference of over 100
feet.
The bark sometime exceeds
forty inches in thickness. The big
trees unquestionably antedated
the Christian era. The age is
determined by counting the
annular rings from the center,
each ring indicating years
growth. When John Muir best
known of CALIFORNIA; scientists,
carefully examined a tree burned
part way through it was found to
he over 5000 years of age.
1t is believed that many of them
greatly exceed that age, and the
president of Stanford Unive, sity
thinks there is no reason why the
oldest Of them should not have
been living 1000 or 5000 years.
The trunks of the big tree is
col umnar, fluted pnrpendicularly,
and in appearance and color
varies from a very light brown
to cinnamon. The elder trees
usually have little foliage for the
first hundred feet save feathery
sprays. The rule is not absolute,
however, and some of the large
trees especially those in exposed
places, branch near the earth.
The limbs reach an enormous size,
one, eight feet from the ground,
on the Grizzly Giant in the
Mariposa grove having a diameter
Of nearly seven feet. The best
known groves are the Calaveras,
South ParkTuolun ne. MarIposa and
Fresno, ranging, from thirty
trees in che Tu0Iumne to 1900 in
the Calaycras. But along the
Kings Kaweah and the Tule river
the groves become forests and the
big trees arc distributed by
thousands over wide areas, il being
estimated that in the Giant Forest
alone there are over 5000 trees
with n diameter cquuling or ex.
ceeding fifteen feet each. The
best known of all the groves, how
ever, is the Mariposa, reached by
a delightful daylight stage ride
from the Yosemite Valley, with
forests all he wav.
