RICHMOND BOY DESCRIBES TRIP.
ACROSS PASS 10000 FEET HIGH

Mr.. Gates received in answer to a
tracer he SEM after his first telegram
The letter Mr.. Gates received from
his son in the lonely town high up in
the Sierras, however, recounted that
the original telegram had finally
reached Gates, via the government for
estry service telephone system. And
with it came the end of a clever bit
of ''panhandling' on the junior Gates
part.
Were Posing as Cowboys
Gates and his comrade, it seems,
had been passing themselves off as
vaqueros, or cowboys, out of job and
on their way north to obtain work.
Now all forestry reserve officials and
lone ranchers have a warm spot in
their hearts for wandering vaqueros.
consequently" writes Gates to his
father, you can imagine what your
telegram has done towards adding 10
my expense. when | tell you that it
shattered my pose as a vaquero and
now have to buy feed for our horse
es at the rate of seventy dollars ton
for hay, and all other things are in
like proportion. Incidentally, there are
no parched deserts to cross in these
snow topped mountains.
Big game hunting on the wooded
slopes of the Sierras and the finest
kind of fishing in it's tumbling streams
are enumerated by Gates as among
some of the interesting features of
the trip. From Bridgeport the party
will go by a Journey of many stages
to the valley of the Yosemite and then
directly back to San Francisco.
Gates New Position.
Gates, who has been reporting on
the San Francisco newspapers for
four or five years, recently became
connected with one of the big press
associations there. He has been
offered the management of the Port
land, Oregon, office Of the association
but does not believe he will accept
it. The lure of San Francisco, which
any reader of Stevenson or Bret
Harte will appreciate, is too strong,
he says.

Z BITTEN FINGERS
USED AS EVIDENCE

In a stormy police court session this
morning, William Moore was found
not guilty of assault and battery on
Walter r. Bunk, by Mayor thinner
man. The court was in session for
almost an hour. Witnesses cross ex-
amined each other and several at
tempted TO take the witness stand TO
thrash out personal arguments. May
or Zimmerman finally threatened to
fine the first witness who talked
while not on the stand and the quar-
reling was ended.
Moore was charged with assault and
battery on Bunk who has two badly
bitten fingers as the result OF a strug-
gle between the two. II was impossi-
bic to ascertain by the evidence which
was guilty of the assault.
Moore's witnesses claim that Bunk
seized a club and struck at Moore and
that Blunk's fingers were bitten in the
struggle which ensued when Moore
tried to protect himself Blunk's wit
nesses testified that Moore was direct
ly responsible for the attack and that
Bunk did not pick up the club until
after Moore had left the spot.

A MISTAKE IS MADE

Through a misunderstanding, the
"honk honk" ordinance has not been
repealed as ordered by council recently
City Attorney Bond was ordered by
council to prepare an ordinance re-
pealing an ordinance placing 1imita-
tions on the kind of signals which au-
tomobiles may use in this city. This
motion was introduced by Councilman
Oscar Williams, who stated that Po-
lice Chief Gormon intended to arrest
Fire Chief Miller for using loud
Klaxon horn on his department ma
chine.
The ordinance was drafted and
brought before council. AS there
were several other important matters
before that body, the councilmen did
not study the ordinance which they
supposed would repeal the 'hOnk
honk" ordinance, and passed it unan-
imously. 1t was signed by Mayor
Zimmerman and became effective
June Is. Afterwards a councilman no
ticed the new ordinance which coun-
Gil had passed and found 1t was al
most Identical with the ordinance
passed in 1910. Several councilmen
now propose to repeal every city ordi-
nance limiting automobile warning
signals as none of them are enforced
or Obeyed.

ON A BATTLEFIELD

GETTYSBURG, Ta, June 2S-The
real invasion of those who will at
tend the fiftieth anniversary of the
battle of Gettysburg began today, 1t
is expected to reach its height by to-
morrow night. Calamity the little
borough of 1000 has tackled the prop
osition of caring for it's guests. but
already it is beginning to feel the
stress.
Army officers watching the multi
tude grow today sized up the camp
and the preparations practically COM
pleted and said very frankly that it
was the biggest thing of the kind they
had ever seen. To add to the diff
culties and danger of the situation,
hazardous under any circumstances,
the water is almost unbearable. With
the sun blazing from the brassy skies,
the humidity is so high that the least
movement is productive of exhaustion
There have been several cases of heat
prostration.
The Blue and the Grey soldiers
sang songs together, cheering and
and praising former foes. while others
gathered in groups and recounted the
string times of fifty years ago.

morning by Judge Fox. The custody
of the child, Ethel Hetthaus, aged 8,
was given to the father under an
agreement reached by attorneys for
the estranged couple. The mother is

for doubt that, as he said, Napoleans

EFFORT TO ESCAPE

Through a clever ruSe at noon to-
day, William Doefer, II, held for the
burglary of Quigleys drug store We'd
nesday night, escaped from the city
Jail, but was recaptured by Firemen
Herbert Ray and Albert Griffin. Doef-
err enjoyed his freedom for less than
five minutes.
At noon, Turnkey Harry Otte took
Doefer his dinner and brought him a
cup of water. He unlocked the door
of the youths cell, leaving the keys in
the lock. Doefer placed his cup of
water on a bench and then purposely
upset it. He then asked Otte for an
other drink.
When the turnkey left the Jail he
locked Doefers cell, but left the keys
in the lock. The young burglar
reached through the bars, unlocked
the door and left the jail through the
patrol shed, going up the first alley
north of Main street towards Sixth
street.
Firemen Ray and Griffen knew Doe
fer and saw him leave the patrol shed.
They shouted to him asking him
where he was going. He did not an
swer, but ran north on Sixth street
turning towards Fifth street in anoth-
er alley. The firemen suspected Doe
fer's intentions and were waiting for
him when he turned the corner of the
alley. He was captured and taken to

NATURAL GAS MEN
FAILED TO ARRIVE
Ask City to Delay Confer
ence on Contract Proposal
Until Tuesday.

The representatives Of the Allegheny
answer on the city's natural gas con-
tract proposal before Tuesday of next
week.
This information was received this
morning in a letter from K. G. Krick,
one of the officers of the company.
Early this week a draft of a fran
chise was prepared by the city attor-
ney and submitted to the representa-
tives of the Gas company, after which
they asked that time be granted in
which to consider the question with
the promise that they would return to
Richmond today with a definite answer
in regard to few of the sections
which there was some question about.
The representatives Of the gas COM
pany at that time said that it was nee
essary to have a meeting of the Off
GERS of the company before any final
answer could be given.
Look Like Deal Was of.
The fact that City Attorney Bond
received letter stating that the gas
men would not be able to make a reply
to the belief that negotiations are UNI
der way at the present time between
the Allegheny Gas company and the
Light, Heat and Power company to
supply natural gas to the latter com
pany.
Manager Wharton of the local COM
pany still claims that he has not re-
ceiyed any information from his New
York office regarding the negotiations,
but it is his opinion that his company
will be able to make a contract with
the other company for natural gas.
The letter which Mr.. Bond received
is as follows:
Il am just in receipt of a telephone
message from Mr.. Whitcomb at Pitts
burg, advising that it will be impossi-
BILE for him to confer with us further
with reference to the Richmond ordi-
nance until Monday, owing to the pres
sure of other business engagements
He requests that an arrangement to
confer again tomorrow, be postponed
until next Tuesday, in order that we
may have an opportunity to consult
with each other before meeting with
you in Richmond. 1 am also writing
Mr.. Swayne to this effect.
Yours very truly,

THE FAMOUS TRANSYLvANIA
STAKE AT LEXINGTON

LexingtOn's wonderful trotting
meeting this year opens on Monday
October with the Walnut Hall Cup
and the Futurity for two-year-olds as
opening attractions. On Tuesday the
program includes the Kentucky Flu
turity for three-year-olds, worth
$4,000, of which $4,000 will go to
the first horse. Good judges predict
that this will be as good a race as
was that of 1912 wnen ManricO was
returned the winner after a memor-
able contest of six heats. On We'd
nesday comes the Tennessee Stakes,
which will bring together the great
est field of free-for-all PAGERS ever
gotten together on any track, viz

gible can pace a mile better than
2:03. Then, on Thursday, Ocober 8,
will come the worlds famous stake,
The Pennsylvania, which for more
than twenty years has been regarded
as more classic than any trotting
event, not excepting the Charter Oak
and the M. and M.
This year the Pennsylvania stands
out stronger than ever in it's history,
for there are eighteen horses paid up
and eligible to start, and it is certain
that at least twelve will answer he
bell. First in popularity is that
beautiful little mare, Cheney, that
comes from Texas. She has raced
since she was two years old, has
started in more than fifty races, and
has been outside of the money but
three times. She is six years old now
and her record is 2:04 ga. 1t now
looks as if her most formidable oppo-
nent will be Reubens 2:O7 IA, the
winner of this years M. & M. But
there are others with which she will
have to reckon, for it might happen
that Dorah Medium, formerly in the
stableof Ed Geers, will be the trouble
maker, for she is SO game that she
must always be taken into consider
alton. Last year she was considered
he gamest trOtter that raced in the
