Dr. Edward, Will Powning and J. D. Maxwell have agreed that a post box is inartistic and therefore a thing to be dis- pensed with. These gentlemen have no boxes and consequently are obliged to send to the postoffice for the mail.

PRISONER WANTS HIS ATTORNEY DISBARRED Frank E. Collins, Convicted of Grard Larceny, Accuses J. N. E. Wil- son of Dereliction.

Wilson by Frank Collins Tuesday morning were un- just, and that the attorney had used all duigence in the premis A bill of ex- ceptions had been prepared, but it did not prove satisfactory to Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Greaney.

He says written to_the Bar Assocla- that he has languished in jail since 1899, when he was sentenced. At that time he had paid Wilson $200 to carry the case to the Supreme Court, and he had now found that no bill of excep- tions had ever been made or placed on file and that his case stood just as it did when he was sentenced. He said he| wanted to go to San Quentin without fur- ther delay and begin serving his term. He also wanted to take steps to have Wil- son disbarred, as he believed the attorney had trified with him and misled him. He had received a letter from Wilson re- cently in which the lawver sald he was compelled to be absent from the city, but he had found he was still here.

The individual who has been sending false reports to the Morgue officials, get- ting them out at all hours of the night to answer to “phony” calls, is under ar- rest. His name is Frank Buelna, and he admits his guilt. He was arrested last evening by Detectives Dinan and Wren in a restaurant at Tenth and Heward stregts, Last Thursday Buelna telephoned to the Morgue officials that Mrs. Bielich of 153 Tenth street had dropped dead and asking them to take charge of the body.

Ernest Seton Thompson delivered his third lecture at Metropolitan Temple last evening and told in his sketchy but de- lightful way many facts and some infer- esting stories about “Wild Animals at Home.” Most interesting and charmingly put of all was his description of the new hunt- ing and the new sportsman. “The new hunter,” said Thompson, “car- ries a camera instead of a gun, and where the old huntsman used to pull his trigger the new huntsman snaps his camera.” The lecturer illustrated his talk with a series of splendid lantern slides, the best of which were the natural results of the “new sportsman” in action. Thompson will deliver two lectures on Saturday, which will bring his series to a close. His subject for the matinee is “Wild Animals in Captivity,” sand in the evening he will speak on the “Minds of Animals.” — e —ee——————— BOSS BARBERS EFFECT PERMANENT ORGANIZATION Elect Officers and Discuss the In- dorsement of Their New Price Schedule.

The play is well taken care of by the Al- cazar stock company, Lila Convere, Jo- seph Kilgour and Charles Bryant being in particular well seen.

REDDING, April 24.—But for up-to-date inventions of this prosaic age—in this case a telephone—a pretty romance of Trinity County might not have reached a success- ful termination in Redding last night. The marriage of Jesse Costa and Mary | Delano of Weaverville was opposed by |‘an unyielding brother of the girl. Love found a_way in a hurried flight to Red- ding. The brother learned of the plan shortly after the pair had left. Quickly jumping. into a buggy behind a fast horse he started in pursuit, with the avowed | intention of preventing the marriage by | fair means or foul. He even said he | would swear the girl was not of age. The sympathy of Trinity County people was with the lovers. Sheriff Bergin of Trinity telephoned to Marshal Fisher of Redding to instruct the County Clerk to issue_a license despite the brother, say- ing the girl was of age. The trio landed in town after their fifty-mile drive at about the same time. and they all met at the dinner table in a local hotel.

J. Bidwell was instantly killed this afternoon while at work in the electric light department. Mr. Bidwell climbed a pole to make a con- nection. He was working with his pliers in one hand and the wire in the other when the wire broke and fell across his neck. The current was re-established and 2000 volts passed through his body. Manager Worthly and Peter Ronsse, who were close by, sprang up the pole, cut the strap which held Mr. Bidwell to_the pole and bore him to the ground. ' Bid- ‘well gasped once or twice after reaching the ground and then expired. Bidwell was for a long time first lieu- tenant of Company M, National Guard of California, and served in that capacity when the company was mustered in for service in the Philippines. He served one term as noble grand of Riverside Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and at the time of his death was captain of Canton Riverside and a member of the Foresters. He is survived by a widow and child. CHARGE CONSPIRACY AND SUE FOR MONEY Stock Brokers Begin a Big Legal Pro- ceeding Against Persons En- gaged in Mining. BOSTON, April 24.—The Post to-morrow will say: Neale McPeck, senior member of the firm of McPeck & Co., stock bro- kers, this afternoon commenced an action for conspiracy against Randolph Sur- bridge, a prominent Boston attorney, and Isaac Irwin, a mining operator of San Special Dispatch to The Call. BAKERSFIELD, April 24.—A heroic act was performed to-day by J. A. Bennett, a young ofl man from Petrolia, when he rescued a two-vear-old child from a bug- gy to which was attached a madly run- ning horse. The flying rig with its little passenger was first seen by Benmett as | it crossed Nineteenth street, going south on Chester avenue. Bennett dashed out from the crowd, boldly leaped into the buggy and within 100 feet had the fright- ened animal checked and the child safe in his arms. . Thunderous shouts went up from thed spectators and soon a great crowd su rounded man and baby, showering co: gratulations on the hero and sympathiz- ing with the child. In a few minutes more than $10 was contributed to pur- chase a token to award Bennett, in the name of the people of Bakersfleld. Charles Badger, a lineman, is also to be remembered, for he tried the same feat Bennett accomplished and got painfully crippled in the act. He was knocked down and run over. The child was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Moncure. His father had just turned his back to the buggy for a mo- ment, in front of their home on G street, when the horse dashed away. JOSEPH LEVY SUED FOR VALUE OF STOLEN SACKS Board of Prison Directors Moves Against Receiver of Bags Taken by C. J. Walden. Joseph Levy, the water-front junk deal- er, to whose establishment 65,000 jute bags, stolen from San Quentin Prison by C. J.

SAN RAFAEL, April 24—The mystery surrounding the drowning of a sailor who leaped from the United States steamship Albatross off Sausalito yesterday after- noon soon after the vessel had raised an- chor and started for Seattle remains un- solved. Along .the water front at Sausa- lito it is belleved that the man was a de- serter from the Albatross, and this view is shared by an unknown man who came from San Francisco to-day to learn some- hing about the drowning. Hints dropped by the stranger made it appear that there [vas a romantic story back of the drown- ng. The stranger said he had a friend who | was engaged to a young lady in San | Francisco. A short time ago the lovers | quarreled and the young man shipped | aboard the Albatross as a cook. After- | ward they effected a reconciliation and | | thereafter the sea had no charm for the | Albatross cook and he deserted. He was captured and returned to the vessel some | days ago. His friend to-day sald that he had vowed never to sail away from the | | harbor and his sweetheart. | | The storv told is borne out in some | part by the officers here, who say that a | deserter was returned fo the Albatross | from San Francisco the night before she sailed.
