4 CLOVERDALE'S FAIR CLOSES, With Music and Dancing the Carnival Passes Into History. GEORGE BAER’S SPEECH. Visitors Urged to Profit by Their View of Sonoma County’s Wealth. PREMIUMS ARE DISTRIBUTED. Exhibitors Express Satisfaction at the Good Judgment of the Committee. CLOVERDALE, Cav., Jan. 31.—Music by. brass bands, speech-making and toasts by leading Sonoma County citizens, and a great crush of people, were features at the Citrus Fair this evening. This was the closing night and one and all were bent apon getting a last lingering glance at the rich array of Sonoma’s golden fruits. This was a gala day for Cloverdale. Every incoming train brought hundreas of visitors from within a radius of 100 miles. The streets bore a metropolitan appear- ance, and hotel accommodations to-night were at a premium. The revelry began with the arrival of the Ukiah concert band on the early train, accompanied by many of Mendocino County’s residents. An im- promptu procession was formed at the depot, and, led by the Cloverdale and Ukiah bands playing popular tunes of the day, marched to the pavilion. This was re- peated as the several trains rolled in. Ukial's concert band was heard to good advantage this afternoon and evening. Its efficient rendition established the organi- zation among the amateur leaders. The an- nouncement of awards was made this after- noon, much satisfaction being shown on all sides at the good judgment of the awarding committee. The judges were: Editor R. A. Thompson of the Sonoma Democrat, Santa Rosa; G.N. Whittaker of Santa Rosa; and J. J. Moore of Sebas- topol.

One of the features of the evening’s en- tertainment was the address of George B. Baer, secretary of the Citrus Fair Associa- tion. He was frequently applauded. Baid the secretary : This grand displey of citrus fruits, more for- cible than argument, again convinces of the lities of this climate. These an- nual exhibitions are not given as idle or vain shows. We have not yet sufficiently advanced to supply any extensive market. The main object of all this gorgeous arrangement is to convince one another of the adaptability of soil and climate. The great question among the tillers of the soil is, “What branch of culture shall I engage in?” When the Supreme Architect of the uni- verse made man he was endowed Wwith certain faculties of sense, and one of the most impor- tant was the sense of seeing, for by sight we note the signs around us—the object lessons of nature. Behold this golden display—an object lesson to the tiller of the soil! All these eitrus fruits with one voice proclaim, “We are glad to find this genial climate and nourishine soil; glad to find energetic hands to give us care and protection and in return for your kind treatment we will gladden your homes, en- lighten your minds and bring wealth to your lands.” In looking backward, well I remember that only a few years ago there were those who, rather than encourage the orange movement, had no hesitation in pronouneing their lack of faith. Would you believe tne south, which bas already gained its reputation, had the sawe difficulties to overcome? Allow me to read only & sentence from the address of a prominent orange-grower in Riverside: “Who can look back without & smile upon the best oranges of whick we boasted fourteen years ago? Sour, dry, light, insipid, thick- skinned and dirty, they were only oranges in nsme. To-dey all the conditions are re- versed.” Have you ever heard that same remark made of Cloverdale oranges years ago? I have; but who dares to male that Assertion now? My friends, we must see with our eyes open. Have your mind in & condition that ob- jects you see will leave an impression, and that impression urge you to activity, Have your wits about you. In plain terms, ‘‘geta move on yourself’; or, in plainer terms, “hump yourself,” and take advantage of the opportunities offered you—or will you leave it to strangers ? Let me tell you that the orange trees in this locality are showing more thrift and vigor than any of our deciduous fruits. What can be said of the orange aiso applies to the lemon and olive. The trees went forth on & time to anoint a king over them and they said unto the olive tree, “Reign thou overus.” There is 1o tree more closely associated with the his- tory and civilization of man. King Davia makes it the emblem of prosperity and of the divine blessing—a green: olive tree in the house of God. There is no other tree in ail the immense flora of earth so important to the human race as the olive tree. Seriptural asso- ciations givé to it & poetical bearing. “Lo! in the dove’s mouth was an olive branch plucked off.”” There is no question as to the olive, tor, tomy mind, the supply will never meet the demand. k Itis ax Italinh aphorism to marry the olive and the vine—the oil of joy and wine of re- {reshment, To the wine we .owe our present prosperity. Well I know the feeling toward wine, and that antipathy is justifiable in many cases, but we must be reasonable in all things, of Japanese oranges grown by Hagmayer. y of lemons grown by exhibitor, | ‘The supreme being has seen it to place in our hends a two-edged sword, fearful in destruc- tion; yetsheathed at your side it is a protec- tion and a safeguard. What is more fearful than the raging conflagration, homes laid in arhes, all the accumulations of a lifetime in a few moments laid low; and to be burned to death is horrible beyond contemplation. There isno word in the English language that starts the blood in your veins to flow end your hearts to jumpas that terrible cry of “Fire!” Yet, my friends, would you refuse the cheerful hearth a place in your house? Fire affords us warmth and comtort, and miakes our food more palatable and nourishing. Have you ever seen a raging torrent, the flood carrying everything before it, leaving 1uin and destruction in its wake? Well we know that the deluge came, when it rained forty days and forty nights, yet though fearful it is, would you refuse a thirsty man & drink of water? So with the wine; though it may cause some Sorrow yet it is a refreshing drink, and under many conditions most healthful and invigorating to man. The speaker alluded to the varied re- sources of Sonoma County and compared this section to the 1and of Canaan—a land of wheat and barley, of wine and figs and pomegranates, and of olive oil and honey. In concluding he praised the directors of the fair for their able menagement and thanked the visitors for lending a hand toward its success. The throng of guests lingered in the pa- vilion until alate hour to feast eye and body and good will prevailed. One band discoursed lively music in the citrus apart- ment, while in the hall above another band plaved inspiring airsand hundreds of feet kept time to the sweetstrains. The youth and beauty of Sonoma and Mendo- cino counties held full sway there. All care was banished and King Orange reigned supreme. The fourth annual Cloverdale Citrus Fair has passed into history. A MARISVILLE PROTEST, Resolutions Passed by the Sacra- mento Anti-Debris Asso- ciation. Government Commission Requested to Investigate Damage Done to Rivers. MARYSVILLE, Cavn., Jan. 31.—At a meeting of the directors of the Anti-Debris Association of the Sacramerto Valley held in Marysville on Wednesday the following proceeding were had: Tke report made by Professor George Davidson to the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco and published in the Ex- aminer of January 17, has been read with much interest by the directors of this as- sociation, and we are astonished that no reference has been made therein to the most important factor in “filling up that portion of the bay and reducing the tidal rism” near Goat Island, to wit. hydrau- ic mining. legarding the dumping of ballast and other refuse matter in the bay the report says: Your committee recommends that strenuous efforts be made to prevent the dumping of bal- last and refuse from vessels in the Bay of San Francisco, except at certain specified places under specified conditions. Your committee learns thet it has become & custom for vessels to dump ballast and refuse in the deep channel near Goat Island. Investi- gatioLs lead your committee to conclude that the refuse thus dumped is carried by the strong current of these deep spots upon the shoaler ground, and very probably it is'in part added to the shoals near Goat Island, thus gradually filling up that portion of the bay and probably reducing the tidal prism. Your committee learns that it is the custom of the State Harbor Commissioners to dump the refuse from their dredgers in the same spot, and necessarily with the same result. The committee, therefore, recommend that all ballast and other refuse from whatever source be required by law to be_dumped upon the tide lands which are now being filled in, or which it is proposed to fill in, or that it be |. carried beyond the bar off the entrance to the bay of San Francisco. Not one word is said regarding the cause of the shoaling of the bay, which bas been going on for over thirty years, and since the advent of hydraulic mining. We presume Professor Davidson still holds the opinion he was reported to have advanced several years ago—that the fill- ing of the great waterway of California was caused by natural erosion and from plowed ground, and the tracks of cattle and sheep being washed into them, not- withstanding the plane of the rivers was higher than the surrounding country. The dumping of all the refuse from all the vessels entering the harbor of San Francisco during a whole year will not contribute as much to the filling oi the bay as one day’s output from the hvdraulic mines even under the present restrictions of the Caminetti bill. From the fact that this report will probnbl% be considered by the recently appointed United States Com- missioners we, the directors of the Anti- Debris Association of the Sacramento Val- ley, have adopted the following resolution, to be presented to Colonel Suter and his associates: Resolved, Thatin view of the fact that the partiel rehebilitation of hydraulic mining has, during the past year, added more debris to that which had already accumulated in the beds of the Yuba, Feather and Lower Sacra- mento rivers than in any year since hydraulic mines were enjoined by the courts, and of the further fact that the dams built by the miners for the storage of debris have given away during the freshets of the past few weeks, we earnestly re- uest the recently npKolnlM United States ommissioners to visit this vicinity at an early day and before the high stages of water has passed, to examine the broken dums and also the excavations made by the recent flood wa- ters in the accumulations of hydraulic mining debris in the gulches and ravines which the miners have averred had become 80 consoli- dated by time that it could not be washed away, that they may be the better enabled to judge of the feasibility of impound- ing dams to restrain the former output of the hydraulic mines, as well as 10 the prospects of building dams 1o enable the hydraulic mines toadd to that which has already almost de- stroyed the mv!nbung of our rivers and which must ultimately destroy the harbor of San Francisco. .

When he returned from New York after his fight with Jim Hall, his friends noticed that he ‘was not all rigi\t physically, and his illness isattributed to the punishment hereceived from Hall. e The Woman’s Wheel Race.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1896. —_———,,,— EXAMINERS MEET AT THE CAPITOL, Vital Issues Passed Upon by Attorney-General Fitzgerald. INVESTMENT OF FUNDS. He Is Opposed to a Purchase of Government Bonds by the State. CONVICT LABOR COMPETITION. The Legal Adviser Differs With the Governor as to the Use of Napa Brick. SACRAMENTO, CaAL., Jan. 3L.—When the State Board of Examiners went into session this dfternoon Attorney-General Fitzgerald expressed himself as unalter- ably opposed to the investing of any State money in United State bonds when there were plenty of purchasable county bonds in California. When Secretary of State Brown stated that he was unable to obtain opinions as to the legality of county bonds the Aitorney-General said that the matter would be attended to at once. He also agreed to render a decision in the Kovalev reward matter in a very short time. In speaking of the Code Commission, Attorney-General Fitzgerald said the con- struction placed on the law by the news- papers was amusing. The law did not re- quire the commission to meet here except body. The Chinaman was hit by a piece of iron and his leg broken. The rest of the bystanders escaped injury. The injured men were taken to the Cit, and County Hospital, where the engi- neer’s wounds were attended to. But the Chinese upon catching sight of the white- agronsd nursesof the hospital concluded that they were going to operate upon him with knives, and kicked so strongly with his uninjured leg against being left there ".’:.'fl he was taken to the Receiving Hos- pital. Several months ago an accident oc- curred at the works in which a workman chewing tobacco in the factory spit on a mass of lignid metal, and it returned the compliment by exploding and blinding him, also injnr{ng a companion. CcAvoy isabout 60 years of age and has a family Jiving on Ninth street. The Chinaman’s leg was amputated at the Receiving Hospital. It is thonght that he will die. VICTOR D. DUBOCE WINS, Elected Lieutenant-Colonel of the First Infantry Regi- ment. Quiet Election in the Fifth—The 01d Officers - Re- elected. The election in the reorganized First In- fantry, N. G. €., last night, was held in the armory of the old Second Artillery Regiment on Page street. It resuited in the choice of Major Victor D. Duboce for lieutenant-colonel and for majors Cap- tain J. H. Mangels, Captain Charles Box- ton, formerly of Company C, Second Ar- tillery, and Captain Charles L. Tilden, Company G, First Infantry. The result is regarded as a victory for the ‘‘Nationals,” and some officers were even ungracious enough to say that it was in facta con- test between the ‘‘Nationals” and the Na- tional Guard. Colonel William Macdonald called the meeting to order, and introduced Major Dorn. judge advocate on General War- field’s staff, as the presiding officer. The learned judge advocate had the first op- vortunity last evening to make a military viie 2 A \\ pWES re) Victor D. Duboce, Lieutenant-Colonel-Elect, First Infantry, N. G. C. in open session. Itcould pursue its labors ’ elsewhere if it wanted to. Mr. Fitzgerald | added, however, that it was proper that | the open sessions should be held at the capitol. The bill of Bateman Bros. for work on the new Union depot in San Francisco was presentéd, and as there was some difference of opinion as to whether the Board of Harbor Commissioners had authorized the work, Attorney-General Fitzgerald recommended that the other members of the board allow the bill and he would reject it, at the same time notify- ing Controller Colgan not to issue a warrant. This would give an opening for mandamus proceedings before the Superior Court. The matter of brick manufactured at | Napa being sent to San Francisco for use in erecting the new building of the State University was introduced, and the Gover- nor was very enthusiastic on the subject. The Attorney-General, however, did not agree with him and threw a damper upon the enthusiam of the board by declaring | that it could not legally be allowed, as it came directly into competition with free labor. This decision did not meet with the ideas of the Governor, who believed that one State institution should be al- lowed to sell to others its products. ‘“And yet,” said the Attorney-General, “‘the State needs $260,000 worth of stone, and, although Folsom BState Prison has any amount of this material for sale, yet the contractors are buying outside the State.”’ As no different conclusion was reached the matter was postponed until the plans for the Affiliated Colleges were taken up. Then the members of the board discussed the matter of place of voting and place of residence. 4 “What do you want, Mr. Brown?"’ asked the Attorney-General. *‘Well, I want a residence in San Fran- cisco, the samé as you have.” “Then you want to get the Legislature to provide for an office in 8an Francisco the same a3 I have, and get them to oblige you to n’t‘end the Supreme Court when in ses- sion. In the matter of the Jordan claim, the Attorney-General declared strictly against it. He claimed that the State was under no legal obligations to pay this claim, and Le for one would not approve it. iz — BREAKING OF A FLY WHEEL. Employes of the Bone Works Struck by Pleces of Iron. A peculiar accident occurred at the bone works, near the Six-mile House, at about 6 o'clock last evening, in which Peter McAvoy, the engineer, and one of the Chinese laborers was badly injured. A large flywheel twenty feet in diameter had been mounted in the engine-room and it was being tested. A number of the employes in the establishment were :rtlwlding near the machinery watching the al, ‘The engine was run first at a slow speed, and then the revolutions were gradually increased until the great wheel fairly hummed in its whirling. Suddenly a loud, ringing metalic report was heard, anc pieces of iron were hurled in every direction. McAvoy, who waa standing with his hand upon the throttie, was struck on the right thi%h and arm with chunks of flying 1aetal and both limbs were fractured, He ruling. The question being referred to him whether newspaper representatives should be admitted or excluded, he de- cided in favor of exclusion. 1t was ascertained that twenty of the thirty-five officers attending voted the slate ticket. There was much delay and likewise a deal of perplexity in fixing up the slate. It was not really fixed to the satisfaction of a majority until late yester- da{ afternoon. Major Duboce was brought in as a neu- tral or compromise candidate. Captain James F. Smith had many friends, but he could not acquiesce in the conditions pre- sented by which he might attain success. He could not guarantee either that the First Regiment Armory on Market street should not be abandoned, neither could he give positive assurance that in event of its abandonment all of the companies should go under one roof. Twenty officers voted the slate and fifteen refrained from voting for any can- didate. Victor D. Duboce, the lieutenant-colonel- elect, enlisted in mpany F, Second Ar- tillery, October 8, 1878, and served as pri- vate, corporal and sergeant for eight vears. He was then appointed captain and A, D. C. on brigade staff. He served in the sev- eral positions of qnururmaswl;.’commis- sary, paymaster and inspector'with rank of major for nearly ten years paston the staffs of Generals Dimond, Cutting, Dick- inson and Warfield, and at present is the inspector of the Second Brigade on General Warfield’s staff. ‘When the result of the election was an- nounced last night, the lieutenant-colonel- elect was greeted with cheers. He wasin- troduced bgiColonel Macdonald 1o the as- sembled officers, and made a brief and sensible speech from a military point of view, . Capntain Boxton, major-elect, also spoke in good military form, promising to work diligently to promote the efficiency of his battalion. Major-elect Mangels was not present. . Major-elect Charles L. Tilden has served in the National wuard for twenty-one years. In referring last night to the reor- ganization of the guard he disclaimed all responsibility for any part of the proceed- ings. On the line between unfavorable comment on and direct criticism of the action of his superior officers, he remarked that it seemed to him that the established order of things had been disregarded in the reorganization. He was sure, how- ever, that no more fiascos like the one at Sacramento would ever occur again in the National Guard. He advocated harmony and predicted that time would heal the bruised spots in the guard. After the speech-making the assembled officers, on the invitation of Captains Bax- ton and Tilden, went upstairs for refresh- ments. An election for one lieutenant-colonel and two majors of the Fifth Infantry Regi- ment was held at 426 Bush street lasteven- ing. Lieutenant-Coionel - A. K. Whitton of San Jose was re-elected. Major L. W. Juillard of Santa Rosa and Major J. H. Hayes of Oakland were also re-elected. Other officers present were: Colonel D. B. Fairbanks, Petaluma; Captain W. Eliiot, Company D; Captain C. F. Poulter, Company A; W, F. Chipman, Company G+ Captain George Wethern, Company F; Captain John Dunbar, Company E; Captain Frank Easterly, Company ; Captain H. L. Partridge, Company B: Capiain J. F. McLay Company Gi Captain 1. ; Captain D. R. 8mith, adjutant; Licutenant eller, inspector Aflej ractice, and Lieu- tenant Berlini, battalion adjutant. After the election refreshments were served, The Fifth Regiment now ranks second in nraflnlenez of rifle practice. In this respect the Eighth Infantry leads, but 'was struck and bruised severely about the Lieutenant Heller, the inspector, says the Fifth will soon take the first place. & THOSE ATLANTA CHINESE, Test Case of Kam Joy, an Ac- tress Arrested in Los Angeles. LAWYER RIORDAK'S POSITION. Collector of the Port Wise Is Closely Watching the Progress of the Matter. The test case ot Kam Joy, one of the Atlanta Fair Chinese actresses, and who was arrested by Inspector J. D. Putnam in Los Angeles, promises to develop into a controversy of unusual interest, as the Chinese company which imported the 200 and more exhibitors for the Atlanta Ex- position propose to stand upon the literal wording of the resolution passed by Con- gress in January, last year, which allowed them to come into this country. A preliminary hearing has just been had in Los Angeles, and United States Commissioner Van Dyke has taken the matter under advisement. Attorney Thomas D. Riordan, who has been retained by the Chinese company because of his knowledge of Federal law, defended the girl there and has just returned to this City. Kam Joy is only 18 years of age, and Inspector Putnam says she was sold to a highbinder for $2200. It seems that the Federal authorities did not discover that ehe was one of the Atlanta Fair actresses until after her arrest, and that they are now trying to make a strong case of what at_ first appeared an insignificant matter. Mr. Riordan made a defense of the girl in Los Angeles which almost staggered the prosecution. United States District Attorney Denis being in New Orleans at the time the Government was represented by Assistant United States District At- torney Findlayson. Mr. Findlayson con- tended that all the Chinese actors should have been compelled to go back to their native country when the Atlanta Fair Ex- vosition was over. Mr. Riordan took ad- vantage of this weak argument by show- ing to the commissioner just how the resolution of Congress read. The three resolutions of Congress pro- viding for the admission of exhibitors for the Columbian Exposition, California Mid- winter Fair and Atlanta BExposition, re- spectively, are substantially the same. 'hey prohibit the importation of alien contract laborers and expressly declare that the alien contract labor law of Feb- ruary 26, 1885, and the acts restricting Chinese immigration shall not be so con- strued as to allow alien laborers to enter this country. All the Tesolutions contemplated, ac- cording to Mr. Riordan’s interpretation, was the admission of the exhibitors and their servants for a specific purpose and stated period of time. Under the resolution of January 21, 1895, the Atlanta Fair Chinese were given the privilege of remaining in this country for one year after the close of the exposition, and certificates were issued to them ac- cordingly to cover that period of time. Mr. Findlayson, it is thoueht, somewhat perverted the proviso of the resolution which was evidently added to the reso- lution for the express purpose of exclud- ing all aliens not connected with the At- lanta Fair aggregation. The meaning of the proviso is that no other alien laborer should be permitted to enter the United States unless expressly permitted to do so by the Secretary of the Treasury, and that any aliens admitted by such special per- mission would be subject to all the pro- visions and penalties of the alien countiact labor law. Mr. Findlayson tried to convince the Commissioner that under the proviso the Atlanta Fair people should be deported in accordance with the spiritof the alien con- tract labor Jaw, but Mr. Riordan showed that the proviso did not say any such thing; that on the contrary the very ob- ject of the resolution was to conier special privileges on the Atlanta Fair exhibitors and employes, and tie proviso was ap- pended purely for the purpose of keeping out all other alien laborers, that is, for the purpose of preventing others from ship- ping in under the resolution. Collector of the Port Wise is closely watchingbthe progress of the case. Speak- ing of it he said yesterday : The point is, Have these Atlanta Fair Chin- ese changed their status? In my mind, the in- tention of Congress in adopting the resolution was to extend the privilege only to bona-fide exhibitors, and that this privilege was to con- tinue only 80 long as they remained exhibitors. On the other hand, Mr. Riordan argues that the very feature of the resolution allowing the exhibitors 10 remain here a vear after the exposition closed is evidence that Congress intended that they should stay here long enough to recoup them- selves for any expenses of traveling and losses they might sustain in coming to the Atlanta Fair. The well-known attorney for the Six Comganieu observed, as he comfortably seated himself in his new offices in the Safe Deposit building yes- terday : Mr. Findlayson tries to argue that the reso- lution of Congress contemplated the sending back of these people as soon as the fair was closed. And why? Just because they are Mongolians. Nothing is said about the Da. homey village and the South Africans. So tar as they are concerned they may enjoy the full benefit of the resolution, but it i 'to be alto- gether different, it would seem, with the Chi- nese. Now, I betieve the resolution means what it says, and I propose to make my fight by standing upon its exact meaning. Sixty more Chinese actors arrived in Chinatown %eslarday, ranging all ages from 10 to vears. They were escorted to the Washington-street Theater from the ferry landing by Tong Ching, the agent of the Atlanta Fair Company. Their leader, Kue Wong, said they made plenty of money in New Orleans and Lod Angeles from the performances they gave there, — GOVERNOR JOAN £ JONES, The Invalid Forced by the Con- stitution of Nevada to Return. Mrs. Jones’ Story of Her Husband’s Steady Improvement From the Cancer Disease. The condition of Governor John E. Jones of Nevada, who has been ill fora long time at the Palace, has considerably improved during the past three weeks. It was given out a month ago that the Governor was afflicted with cancer of the stomach. Three physiciansattended him. On consultation at that time—so it was stated yesterday—they decided he yould certainly die. They said he might live for a day or two, or even longer, but tnat the case was s0 setious that it was nonsense to think about his recovering. Mrs, Jones, the Governor's wife, is a resolute lady at such trying times. She promptly sent for Mrs, Dr. Cook, the can- cer specialist. “‘She began treating the Governor at once,” said Mrs. Jones yesterday, “and he began to improve. His progress has been steady, too. The nausea ceased and he grew 8o he could take food regularly, though in limited amounts. “His diet is malted milk, beef jolly, granum and oranges. He also takes a little lime juice at times, with occasion- ally other things that may be sn;gestedl by him or others. *“We believe the cancer will be perma- nently cured. Mrs. Cook comes to see him four times a day. She is so faithful and kind that I would like to have a good | word said about her. The Governor has now got so he can walk twice across the long room and back during the afternoon, and is apparently progressing nicely in every way.”’ The Governor’s friends have been talk- ing of moving him to Nevada. By the constitution of that State the Governor cannot be absent at any one time loneer than ninety days. If he is he loses his pay. Governor Jones’ time will expire Feb- ruary 13. He must leave here, therefore, as they estimate, by the 11th at most, in order to be certain to be in time. Arrange- ments are being made with the Southern Pacific, therefore, for a special car for the occupancy of the invalid Governor and his family. He istogoup one day and | come back the t. A BURGLAR'S BOLD DASH William Smith Slips His Hand-| cuffs and Attempts to Get Away. Captain Robinson Collars the Fugitive After a Brief Chase of One Hundred Yards. William Smith, convicted of grand lar- ceny, was yesterday sentenced by Judge Wallace to nine years’ imprisonment at Folsom. Shortly after this he made a des- perate attempt to escape, and but for the presence of Captain Robinson would prob- ably have succeeded. z Smith, with eight other fellow-prisoners, was being taken irom the Central Station | to the County Jail preparatory to leaving | for his new home. The nine prisoners | were chained together securely, it was | thought, at the time. They were marched William Smith. from the prison to the van, Deputy Sheriff | John Rusher being in charge and in front | of the line of prisoners. Just before Smith’s turn to enter the van he slipped his handcuffs and was off like the wind. Captain Robinson, who was just to the rear of the gang, saw him the moment he was off, and he knew at a glance that it devolved upon him to cap- ture the fast escaping prisoner. The sequel shows that the captain is somewhat of a sprinter, for he coliared the fugitive in less than a hundred yards. Smith was escorted back to the van and then Captain Robinson sat down to eatch his breath. Smilh’s hands were badly lacerated as the result of his successful effort to remove the handcuffs.
