He is about five feet nine inches tall, fair complexion, with short curly flaxen hair and a mus- tache of the same hue. For four wecks up to May 3 he lived at Belvedere on an ark with Humphrey Sullivan and S. C. Delamater. His widowed mother left for Norway early in May. What his defalcations are besides the $2100 collected from the Southern Pacific is not known, as the company refuses to discuss the matter, but it is supposed to De considerable. The paymaster of the Southern Pacific said yesterday that he had been paying money to Isaksen as representative of the company for the past four years, and when he called for it on Tuesday he paid it without question. Isaksen did not ap- pear to be in any way excited and his manner was cool and collected. Isuksen's downfall is attributed to riot- | ous living. He was fond of late suppers and spent money lavishly on women and | wine. He also indulged in the luxury of | yachting and was a frequenter of the | racecour: Last night there was a well-deflned ru- | mor that Isaksen had gone to Salt Lake, | and the wires were kept hot in anticipa- | tion of his arrest. Descriptions of him | have been sent broadcast by the police, | and if he huas not gone to Manila they hope to have him cornered soon. One Case at a Time. The Supreme Court has decided that certain testimony introduced at the trial of Francisco Vidal in the Superior Court of San Luis Obispo County should never have been admitted. Vidal was convicted of grand larceny for stealing a horse. The arresting officer was allowed to testiry that at the time of the arrest he was | hunting for Vidal for another crime. The | accused was riding a stolen horse at the time. At the trial the defendant offered no evidence. The Supreme Court reversed the verdict of the lower court, holding that the introduction of evidence of an- other crime in the trial of the case of ;mrse stlealmg was prejudicial to the de- endant. —_——————————— Carney’s Trial Under Way.

A remarkable surgical operation was performed Tuesday afternoon at St | Mary's Hospital upon the person of John Partittf, an Itallan laborer 60 years of age, by Dr. G. Childs McDonald, assistea by Dr. MacMonagle, Frazier and Kings- well. The aged laborer, who had suffered for many months from a cancer in the stomach, submitted to an operation by which the diseased organ of digestion was entirely. rflo\'ed That he lives is mirac- ulous. s resting easily and may ulti- mately recover if the shock followlux the openaan does not prove too great. Thbe patlent entered the hospital last | Sunday and a diagnosis of his case ascer- tained the fact that he was suffering from cancer of the stomach and it was decided that the organ must be removed in or- der to save the suffering man's life. An incision was made In the upper part of the abdominal cavity and through this the stomach was removed. A connection | of the esophagus, or food passage, waw made with the duodenum, that portion of the alimentary canal just below the stom- ach, by means of a Murphy button. This is a sllver device to which the ends of the organs are sutured and the connection is_complete. If Partitti suryives the effects of the | operation he will suffer but little incon- | venience and will be in better health than te has been for many months past. 1 adoption of the American flag and the Battle of Bunker Hill, will be held at St. Markus Church, farrell street, between Gou nklin, commencing thi. eve 7:30 o’clock, under the patronage of Mayj General Otis.
