SNOW SHROUDS REDDING. REDDING, Feb. 8.—Redding has just experienced the heaviest fall of snow since the memorable New Year's day four ago, when during the night three feet of the white flakes fell. Yesterday snow fell from 8 a. m. to 7 p. m, and at that time by actual measurement there was eight inches on the ground. About a foot had fallen, but much melted as it fell during the early hours of the storm. Men, women and children turned out and indulged in bat with snowballs. To- day sleighing was the chief feature. Last night all the telegraph, telephone and electric light wires were put out of ac- tion by the great weight of snow, and communication from all directions was | cut off. During the night much damage was done In this city. Barns, sheds and large trees fell beneath the weight of the , and in several instances there were narrow escapes from injury to pedes- trians. About 3 o'clock this morning a front porch at a South Redding candy | factory fell. People rushed from their houses, thinking it was an earthquake. rainfall to date is 22 inches, against 2150 inches at even date last year. TWO MEN ARE ACCUSED OF ROBBING A BAKER Thomas P. McGinn, a letter-carrier, liv- ing at 1541 Mission street, called the at- tention of Policeman T. F. Slattery about 4 o'clock yesterday morning to three men who were walking out Market street to- ward Valencia. He sald that a man and a woman had informed him that two of the men were robbing the third, and he had followed them till he met the officer.

Fickeisen, a baker, living at 1208 Valencia street, was under the influence of liquor, and the other two, who proved to be Roy Lemount, 48 East street, and Roy Tempest, 771 Howard street, were pointed out as the suspected | robbers. They were placed under arrest, | and when searched a silver snuffbox on which was engraved “C. W. Fickeisen" was found in Lemount’s pocket.

BERKELEY, Feb. 8.—Anxious search- ing parties are pacing the West Berkeley shore and scanning the waters of the bay | on the lookout for Arthur and Harold | Baronidas, brothers who were last seen struggling with thelr rowboat off Sheep | 1sland in the terrific squall which swept over that part of the bay yesterday after- noon, shortly before dark. It is feared | that the young men have been drowned. Their empty boat was washed up to-night | on the West Berkeley beach. The brothers left yesterday on a hunting trip to Sheep Island. They were preceded } by Fred Atcheson and A. Lopez, two West Berkeleyans, who were also in a | rowboat and who returned to West Berke- ley to-day. When the squall broke Atche- son and Lopez were close enough to shore to reach it, but their boat was swamped just as they reached safety. Out in the swirling water they saw the brothers struggling against the elements—then the mist and darkness shut them from view. Their boat was then full of water. C. Hansen and E. Stevens, also from the West End, returned to-night from the isl- and, where they went in search of the missing brothers. All parts of the island were looked over, but without success. No trace of their landing was found. The two Baronidas boys are well known here. Arthur, the elder, is 19 years of age and his brother is two years younger. Arthur returned recently from Alaska, where he has been mining. Harold is a student in the Berkeley High School. Members of the famlly were among the early settlers of West Berkeley. They were large land owners and ran the Ba- ronidas Hotel during the early boom times. The boys reside with their mother, Mrs. Georglana Baronidas, whose home is at 1806 San Pablo avenue. Mrs. Baronidas sald to-night that she feared her sons had been drowned. JOURNALIST OF NOTE DIES IN NEW YORK Dr. Paul Kud.lc;Well Known as a Correspondent in Germany and America, Passes Away.

FOREIGN SHARES NOT IN DEMAND London and BerlinStock Exchanges Show Little Life. LONDON, Feb. 8.—While a condition of | semi-stagnation prevalled on the Stock | Exchange during last week, the firmness displayed by the general list of securities was remarkable. The public is not iIn- clined to trade while the questions con- cerning Venezuela, South Africa, Mace- donia and Morocco remain unsettled. A certain activity in some sections, how- ever, relieved the monotony, notably the movement in Grand Trunks on the an- nouncement of the dividend on third preference shares. The decision favorable to the steel corporation rendered at Tren- ton, N. J., Thursday had a favorable in- and American coal shares showed activ-| ity. BERLIN, Feb. 8.—An {rregular ten- dency, accompanied by a diminished vol- | ume of trading, prevailed on the Stock Exchange last week. Domestic Govern- ment securities were slightly higher, while foreign loans were to some extent lower owing to realization sales. The Dusseldort Iron Exchange reports fur- ther strengthening of the market, and that American orders for pig and scrap iron are increasing. A Hamburg house | has just chartered a ship to carry old | iron to the United States. Coal shares | continue to display a weak tendency. There was no abatement in the abund- ance of money. The Reichsbank this week offered 40,000,000 marks of treasury bills for rediscount in the open market in order to diminish the difference betwen | the offictal and private rates, but the | operation had no effect. The private rate wént still lower. Hence it is believed that the Reichsbank will reduce its rate. It 1s understood that hundreds of millions of | marks of German credits have been placed in London and New York. YOUNG WOMAN ARRESTS A HOTEL EMPLOYE Miss Ada Anglade Turns Buisson Over to Police for Alleged Theft. OAKLAND, Feb. 8—Miss Ada Anglade of 771 Howard street, San Francisco, ar- rested FEugene Buisson at the Pullman Hotel to-night for the alleged theft of a letter and turned him over to Policeman Hamerton. Buisson is an employe of Osmin Comte, proprietor of the Pullman Hotel. A few days ago Mrs. Comte, suspecting too friendly relations between her husband and Miss Anglade, dispatched Buisson to the young woman’s residence for a letter Comte was supposed to have written to her. Bulsson secured the letter, but on the way back to Mrs. Comte lost the mis- sive. It was only a business letter, any- way, with not a word of love in it, ac- cording to Miss Anglade, but she was an- gered at its loss; so shé came to Oakland to-day to upbraid and arrest Buisson, which she did. Buisson denies intending to steal.

Speclal Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Feb. 8.—A 19-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl have been arrested at The Dalles, Or., because of their love | affair and elopement. They are awaiting the arrival of Sheriff Canutt of Whitman County, who is to bring them back to Washington, the girl to be returned to her home and the boy to be held to an- swer to a charge of abduction. The elopement occurred December 19 of last year, when Glen Young, son of Hen- ry Young, a prominent farmer living in Pullman, and Maud Babcock, daughter of a carpenter of Pullman, took a boat at Almota, on the Snake River, and depart- ed. The bride’s father will not forgive them and declares his intention to prose- cute Young. Another recent elopement has ended more happily. By the marriage this weei at Walla Walla of Marvin Arnold to Pansy Squires there terminated a ro- mance which had been threatened with disaster. Arnold is 20 years old and a committee clerk in the House of Repre- sentatives at Olympia. His bride is two years younger. Lately the girl's step- father declared that the affair had run on long enough. At this Arnold decided that it was time for action, and when the An- keny party went to Walla Walla he ac- companied it with his sweetheart and per- suaded her to go with him to a church and be married. After the Legislature adjourns next month the bride will return to school at Whitman College, Walla Walla.

The Government has won praise by its judiclous action, for now it Is seen it proposes to act only on advices from rep- resentative men. One of the questions of greatest interest and one which the commission will inves- tigate is the present quantity of silver money in the country. Notwithstanding many banks have come into existence, it is pointed out by Finance Minister Liman- tour that it is still the custom in many parts of the country among merchants and wealthy private persons to keep large amounts of coined silver in private safes. An effort will be made to ascertain the amount of currency, both metallic and paper, whicl, the country requires for its business. @ ittt O VGO BULL TO53ES A AN Saloon-Keeperin Shasta County Hurled Over a Fence.
