CONVICT HANGED
JACOB oPPENHEIMER GIVES UP
HIS LIFE IN PRISON
YESTERDAY.
Assaulted Fellow Prisoner and Under
Law Penalty Is Death
Remarkable Career.

SACRAMENTO. Cal. DULY IL
Jacob Oppenheimer. whom criminolo-
gists have termed one of Americas
most extraordinary c~onvicts, was
hanged at Folsom prison today.
Though he had killed two men. 1t was
not for murder that Oppenheimer gave
up his life. His crime was an attack
on a fellow prisoner. and he Is said
TO have been the first case IN this
country OF a felon being executed for
simple assault.
Oppenheimer. when a messenger
boy of II years. tried to kill his super
intendent n was given a work
house sentence. Soon after he was
released he was convicted of robbery
and sent TO Folsom prison for fifty
years. A man named Ross, who had
been the principal witness for the
prosecution later was himself sent to
prison. Oppenheimer met him at the
gate n murdered him.
For that crime OppenheImers SEN
ence was heightened TO life imprison-
ment and he WIS transferred to a
Quentin. There he attacked a guard
and later a fellow prisoner and for
, the latter assault he was sentenced to

FRAZIER MINERAL WELL
 MAY BE MADE INTO RESORT
Talk of the Establishment of Bath Houses and General Facilities
 for Patients.

FraZier's mineral well on the base line is attracting the attention of capi- talists and it may be but d short time until there will be bath houses erect cd, facilities for the accommodation of guests, and a general sanitarium estab- ished for those who desire to try their health producing qualities of the water. It is claimed that the water from the well had proven beneficial in every case of rheumatism so far treated To the taste the water appears to be aka line in quality, though not to a dis agreeable extent It is slightly laxative in it's effects. So far as the core spondent knows the true contents have not been tested by a competent author ity. Several people who have been troubled by rheumatism have been us ing the water and claim that they have noted a marked improvement in their condition. There appears no req son why a mineral well or spring should not be found in this valley as well as elsewhere in the world, and it is probable that the curative proper ties of the Frazier well are as pro nounced as those of the famous springs of California, Colorado, Arkansas, or of the great Spa across the Atlantic If Mir. Frazier's well water should stand the final test, Mesa will have at her front door q convenient resort for those who suffer the ills that call for the water cure. Boost it along, for it is the boast of the Salt River valley that nature has been liberal in many ways in supplying the wants of man. kind

CONCERNING A
 MIR. McGILLICUDDY

They speak of Bakers batting and
 they rant of Collins speed: They'll tell you Plank and Bender
 frame the proper pitching breed, They'll rise to young McInnis and tO
 Barry on the job, And they'll make you see that old
 ring has a shade on Tyrus Cobb. In the meanwhile there's one sitting
 quite obscurely in his place; He never bats Three Hundred and
 he never steals a base; You rarely look upon him and you
 never hear him yelp, But hes always got one planted
 when he needs a bit of help. It may be in some college that you've
 never heard before; It may be in some water tank along
 the Western shore; But when the proper time arrives
 and someone's needed quick. It's merely then the question of the
 bIoke that he will pick. Where rivals say they can't be got
 for blandishment or gold Though countless ivory hunters beat
 the bushes through the fold, Where others spend ten thousand for
 an option on a lime, He goes and grabs a Collins and a
 Barry for a dime. He has them growing up in Maine
 and down in Tennessee: He has them planted in the bush
 from Lynn to Kan1akee; And when Bakers smash is over and
 when Bender leaves the hill. Hell go and grab their equals while
 he cracks a dollar bill. -Crantland Rice in Golfers Weekly

The wind did no particular dam age; q few limbs broken from umbrel- Ia trees, some twisting of telephone wires, and general disturbance of the slumbers of those who make their beds in the open, tell the story.
