Many of the civil jury cases in the
present assignment of both divisions
of the district court contain promises
of little of general interest, most of
them brought for the recovery of
money, and similar causes. Friday

damages for assault. Fletcher was
convicted last spring on a charge of
assaulting Boyd, who is Is years old,
with a shotgun. The present action
is for civil damages for the alleged as
sault.

SORRY He BEAT HIS WAY
President of Alton Receives Letter
From Texas Man

Chicago. Oct. 9.-In a letter to B. A
Worthington, president of the Chicago &
Alton railroad, J. B. Smith of Quinlan,
Texas, asks forgiveness for having
beaten" the road out of his fare for
a ride of 2S3 miles in 1898. He said he
believed God had forgiven him and that
he hoped the company would. In the
event that 1t would not. he said, if he
was informed how much he owed the
road, he would pay it when he became
able
President Worthington wrote Smith
that he was absolved from any claim the
road might have on him and added:
We hope that you had a pleasant ride
on the 2S3 mile trip, even If you did not
pay any fare; and let US hope that when
you get started on your &ast trip to meet
God, if you are required to ride over
fourteen different railroads to get to your
destination your last ride will be under
as pleasant auspices as the 283 miles over
the Alton in 1897
Smith said in his letter he owed con-
fessions to IA different railroads

HE'S FOR WILSON
Santa Fe Man Victim of Fake
Message, From President.
He Had Jumped From Taft to
Wilson.

A certain Santa Fe office man
we'll known. popular, holding a good
position-has always been for Taft,
and hated Colonel Teddy. He was
once in state OF open rebellion be-
cause he was going to be disfran-
chised; now that the Tart electors
are in the Republican column, one
would expect the man to be delight
ed It would appear that he loved
Taft greatly, but loved Wilson more;
ne has announced himself hotly in
favor of the Democratic nominee. So
energetically did he talk Wilson in
the offices, and in such a political
web did he become entangled, that
the following message, purporting to
nave been sent from President Rip
ley to the general manager of the
Santa Fe was read TO him:
Understand that employee has
been pernicious in advocating candi-
dacy of Woodrow Wilson. Investigate
and notify me-
The Wilson man was advised of the
telegram: he worried, fre1ted, stewed,
and paced the floor for an hour. Then
they told him it was a fake message.
Rumor has it that he IS still strong
for w w, but is not attempting the
conversion of the Santa Fe Office
force any more; he is working by the
highways, byways and hedges.

Los Angeles Oficeress Recommends
New Plan to Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-Women police
men" are needed for Chicago in order
TO regulate it's vice conditions, ac-
cording to Mrs. Alice Stebbins Wells,
a member of the police department of

the city club of Chicago.
Eighty per cent of crime arises
from the saloon and resorts she
said. Segregation does not segre-
gate. OF course, the evil will spread
over the city, but if it is not protected
by segregation there will be less of
it. Women could do much to inn
prove conditions in Chicago if they
were included in the police depart

FOR A BOULEVARD.
Plan to Build one From Brick Yard
Bridge to Gage Park.

A half mile of boulevard is planned
to be built from the end of the new
brick yards bridge, just west of the
city water pumping station, to Gage
park. Plans are being prepared for
the board of county commissioners and
a survey of the proposed highway pro-
baby will be made before long by
County Surveyor j. A. Campbell. 1t
is proposed that the highway be graded
and widened, and that it be paved or
macadamized, the style of paving not
having been decided upon.
The brick yards bridge, which is
now being erected, will connect the
north side of the river with the vicin-
ity of Gage park, permitting travel
from Silver Lake directly south to the
neighborhood of the park without the
necessity of coming east through To-
peka.

Baltimore, Nd, Oct. e.-Twenty
four freshmen of the Baltimore Col

painted black, their coats turned in
side out and their trousers rolled up
well above their knees, spent last
night locked in separate box stalls at
Pimlico. Not only did the freshies
sleep like horses, but they had been
prior to being locked up. Around the
outside of the track stood juniors on
guard with huge whips, so that in
case any of the human race horses
became fractions they would be easily
whipped back into the races. They
were fed on corn and oats.

"oLD GLORY" GIVES ADDED
FAME TO ELECTRIC PARK

BY their performance of "old
Glory" a semi-military drama in four
acts, in the rustic theatre at Greater
Electric Park last night the Sibley
Players advanced themselves in the
esteem of local theatre-goers. 1t is an
effective acting play and enables the
players to more fully display their
dramatic power. The opening per-
Torrance last night was witnessed by
a large audience, aud its romantic
contents were so pleasingly set forth
by those engaged in enacting it that
hearty applause frequently punctu-
ated the stage proceedings.
The basis of action is the sacrifice
of a young girl who marries a crusty
old military general to save her
father from disgrace. He takes her
from her home in New York, where
the first act is laid, to an isle of
Santa Cruz, off San Domingo, where
the succeeding three scenes are laid.
Here the girl meets her girlhood
sweetheart. The dramatic complica-
lions which result from this meeting
make for an interesting plot. In the
role of the young wife Miss Mar
garet Keene again showed her versa
tility of expression. Miss Anna Nichol,
Miss Ann Egleston, Miss E. Scott
Regain, Henry Duffey, Homer w.
| Sibley, C. MacLane Savage. Lewis
Summers and Charles Kyle also are
deserving of special mention.
On the open-air stage the feature
attractions this week are Cotton's
performing donkeys, tom" and
Jerry" and Franklino and Voileto,
in a. sensational novelty performance.
The new tableaux vivants shown in
connection with the electric fountain
also found favor with the crowds.
