EAGE A In the tanks at the City Prison lles a man whom the police suspect of being cne of the two men who held up a train near Goshen Junction on the Southern Pacific Rallroad during the early nineties and secured a large amount of loot, be- sides murdering a tramp named Jules Christianson, who was stealing a ride on the blind baggage of the express car. The arrest was made by Policeman John Stelzner, who had been detalled on spe- clal duty for several days in pursuit of the man. The prisoner is also suspect- ed of committing several burglaries in this city and circumstances point to the | fact that he had repeatedly burglarized a lodging-house at 233 Powell street. It was not until he was searched at the City | Brison that evidence was secured point- ing to him as one of the robbers of the train at Goshen Junction. On the prisoner’s person were found various letters of recommendation issued ostensibly by the United States and Wells-Fargo express companies, or at least they were written on letter heads of these concerns. Two of them were in | | lead pencil. There was also a note from the manager of Wells, Fargo & Co, stat- ing that there were no vacancies in the office at that time. The letter was dated July 12, 1899, A’l of these letters were made out in the name of T. Minehan, which was the name of the messenger Wwho Wwas guarding the express car at the time of the robbery. The police say that the real Iinehan died in Visalia several years sgo and that the present prisoner is an impcstor. ‘he description given of the robbers concerned in the affair was that one was a tall man and the other a short man. According to Minehan’s statement made at the time the tall man did the shooting | and the small man beld the sack when | he loot was secured from the express | safe. The arrest was made at 11 o'clock last ! night, at an hour when it was impossible to secure positive identification, so the isoner is being held in detinue until a thorough identification can be made. To- day the detective bureau of Wells, Fargo & Co. and of the Southern Pacific will be notified and they will be given every op- portunity to determine whether or not the arrested man is the real train rob- | | | Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. AN DIEGO, Sept. 22.—Franklin K. Lane of San Francisco, Dem- ocratic candidate for Governor, began his campaign in the south with an address this evening on the San' Diego plaza. He was listened to by a large crowd, which fre- quently applauded vociferously during his extended talk. Lane was to have been accdmpanied here by W. H. Alvord, formerly chair- man of the Democratic State Central Committee, and Isidor B. Dockweller, the candidate for Lieutenant Governor, but the former was taken i1l and the latter missed his train. Instead came Alexan- der J. Rosborough of Alameda County, candidate for Secretary of State; James M. Hanley of Los Angeles, candidate for the State Board of Equalization, and Frank G. Finlayson of Los Angeles, for- merly United States Attorney for the dis- trict of Southern California. The band stand at the end of the plaza was decorated with the national colors, but there were no portraits of party lead- ers. Bryan's name was not mentioned during the evening and Cleveland was referred to only once. The visitors arrived on the evening train and were met by members of tho County Central Committee and escorted to the Brewster Hotel, where dinner was served. A band concert on the plaza at- tracted a crowd that filled almost the entire space within sound of the voices of the speakers. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Magley of the County Commit- tee, who introduced James E. Wadham as the chairman. Judge W. A. Andrews of San Diego, Finlayson, Hanley and Ros- borough were successively introduced and Lane closed the programme. Lane saild he was glad he had commenc- ed his campaign at this end of the State, for the long ride from San Francisco, through the mountains and valleys and along the surf line into the city of San Diego had given him a conception of the grandeur of the State, which was larger and broader than he had had before. He arralgned the Republican party for tak- ing to itself all the credit for the pros- perity that seemed to extend over the en- tire land, declaring that prosperity could not be legislated into being. This senti- ment the people applauded and the hand- clapping was just as ready a moment later when he told of the prosperity that was to be legislated into belng by the ber. If he proves not to be, he will be held on a charge of burglary.

Democratic Convention Constructs the County Ticket. SANTA CRUZ, Sept. 22.—The Demo- cratic County Convention was held here to-day. Hon. Thomas Beck of Watson- ville was elected chairman and A. W. Sans of Watsonville secretary. The nomi- nations were as follows: Assemblyman, A. B. Duffey of Ben Lomond; Superior CAPTURE YOUNG INDEAN CONDOR Hunters Are Savagely Attacked by the Mother Bird. —_——— Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Sept. 22.—George L. Stil- well of this city, who has just returned from a hunting trip in Santa Barbara County, was one of a party that cap- tured a young condor. Stilwell bears the marks of the fight he and another mem- ber of the party had with the mother bird. George L. Stilwell joined Tom Stilwell, Richard, Walter and Willlam Holland, William Triplett, Harvey Wells and Oli- ver McGee in Santa Barbara and the par- ty started for the State Park in Santa Barbara County, fifty miles east of Santa Maria. pair of giant Andes condors, which in some manner had come to Cali- fornia from South America, had their nest in the park and the trip was made for the purpose of capturing one of the young birds. The park is a wild place and a paradise for hunters. Wells had been In the park two years ago and had found a nest of the condors. 1t was on a big cliff. He had climbed to the top and found there_an egg, which he took home with him. It was about four inches in diameter and weighed a couple or pounds. Two or three weeks ago Wells went to the place to secure another egg, but found instead a fluffy bird a few days old. It was too young to take tnen, but Stilwell and Wells decided after a time to go, back after it, Waiting until the male bird was away, they climbed to the nest, but the mother bird was there feeding its young. She arose from the nest and circied around. N The young condor had grown to be a good sized bird. It could not fly, but was able to put up a pretty good fight. It hit the hunters with its wings and at- tempted to strike them with its talons, but it was soon secured and tied. The old bird then attacked the two men, fly- ing near enough to strike them with its wings and strike at them with its talons. It appeared to measure about fifteen feet from tip to tip, and the young one is a monster. It now measures ten feet from tip to tip, but is unable to fly. Stilwell bears as marks of the encoun- ter an abrasion on the nose and bruises about the body. Lectures on Browning. John Darwin Gish entertained the San Francisco Teachers’ Club last evening with a lecture on ‘‘Robert Browning—The Poet of Life.” The lecturer showed by the masterly manner he dealt with the poet that he had made of him a deep and conservative study. At the conclusion of the lecture Mr, Gish received the compli- ments of the club, and many of the mem- bers formed themselves into a “Brown ing Circle,” to meet ocecasionally to dis- cuss the poet's work. During the even- ing Mrs. Mary Mann Haley and Miss Helene Neilson rendered several songs de- lightfully, and Miss Molly Pratt acted as accompanist. A. L. Mann announced that the next lecture wiil be given by Professor Henry Morse Stephens before the mem- :,e;s o]fs the club on Monday evening, Oc- ober 13. ————— ‘Waiters Get No Day Off.

MIZaING GIAL RETURNS HOME Alarm Over Anita Par- ker’'s Disappearance Groundless. Special Dispatch to The Call. Parker, the 15-year-old daughter of L. G. Parker, who has been missing since Sat- urday morning, returned to her home in Mill Valley to-day. The girl was not lost, but was domijciled at the home of a friend in San Francisco. The supposed mystery was due to a chapter of misunderstand- ings. To-day the mother of the girl said: Anita is back home, safe and sound. When 1 could hear mothing from her or of her I thought she was dead. I knew she would not willfully run away from home. We now learn that the child tried to communicate with us and believed she had done so. Friends at- tempted to notify us of her whereabouts, but could not. Anita left early on Saturday, went to a den- tist and remained there about four hours, She fs a delicate child and the strain was too much for her. She telephoned to her father's place that she did not feel well and would re- main over night with a friend. An office boy answered the phone, but failed to communi- cate with Mr. Parker. On Saturday night my friend, at whose home she stayed, tried to get us by phone, but the Mill Valiey central office was closed. Yesterday Mr. Parker and I_went to San Franclsco in search of Anita. We learned at the dental office that our daughter had been there and had left. We then were more per- plexed than ever and I surely believed my child was dead, as_she is delicate and subject to heart trouble. We visited or telephoned to every relative and friend we could think of in the city, but to no avail. When almost In de- spair, we phoned to a friend out near the Clift House. There we found our child, safe and in ignorance of the alarm she had caused. ‘Watering Cart Driver Hurt. John Tracy, a watering-cart driver, was injured on the head by being thrown from his wagon.

Sherwood & Sherwood, San Francisco distributers, ORKS BOARD alILL INAGTIVE Excuses Non - Removal of Obstructions on Third Street. The Board of Superyisors yesterday considered the neglect of the Board of ‘Works to cause the removal of obstruc- tions at the foot of Third street by refer- ring the matter to the joint Judiciary and Streets Committee for Investigation and report. The parties maintaining obstruc- tions will be cited to appear and explain their non-compliance with the ordinance recently passed by the board ordering the removal of the obstructions. The Board of Works sent a communi- cztion to the effect that notices were served on all parties maintaining obstruc- tions on Third street between Berry and Channel, except the South End Boat Club, which was granted an extension of time to July 1, 1903. All parties notified, except the Union Wood and Timber Com- pany, complied with the notifications and removed the obstructions maintained by them. The company named refused to re- move its structures on the ground that | it is a tenant of the State Harbor Com- missioners. The president and secretary of the company were arrested, but in view of the question of title and jurisdic- tion being involued the case was dismiss ed by mutual consent. The City Attor- ney was asked for advice as’ to the lawful proceedings necessary to be takea to remove the obstructions, but no opin- fon in writing has yet been received. The City Attorney verbally advised that five days’ notice be given the company, but the latter's attorney reported that if any | attempt were made to remove the ob- structions an action for damages would be instituted against the Board of Works. Therefore no further action was taken by the board. The communication con- cludes by saying that if the boat club were to remove its building there is some reason to think that the street would soon be cleared. After the communica- ticn had been read the Mayor remarked that the Board of Works should not al- low itself to be ‘‘bluffed” in that way. CALL SPECIAL ELECTIONS. The two ordinances calling special elec- tions on Tuesday, December 2, and Thurs- day, December 4, 1902, for the purpose of submitting to the electors the proposition of issuing bonds to the amount of $700,- 0 for acquiring by original construction the Geary-street road from Tenth ave- nue to Geary and Market streets, and also eight proposed charter amendments, were finally passed. The Mayor immediately affixed his signature to the measures. The ordinance providing revenue for municipal purposes for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1%3, and levying a tax of $1.6082 on every $100 assessed valuation for State and city purposes, including 15 cents for schools and a hospital, was fin- ally passed. An ordinance was passed to print pro- viding for an expenditure of $50,250 for the construction of a sewer in Sixth street, from Tehama to Brannan, and the sewers in adjacent streets. The Board of Works was authorized to expend the necessary money out of the funds at its disposal for the performance of the work. OFFERS TO DONATE LAND. The Spring Valley Water Company in- formed the board that it would donate the necessary land on Lake Merced Ranche for the extension of Nineteenth avenue south, with the proviso that the city bear all the expense of the improve- ment and erect fences alorets its property after the streets are opened. Grades were order established on Olive court near_Union street and Bray- ant street near First.
