COURT ERRDRS MAY OPEN GELL Aged Chinese Murderer | L:kely to Regain Liborty. —_— SAN RAFAEL, Nov. 28.—Owing to errors in the court records Fook Yook, a Chinese murderer, will probably gain his liberty. After over twenty years’ incarceration without friends or money, Samaritans from China have come to his assistance, and every effort will be made to make Fook a free man. An attorney In San Francisco has charge of the case. From investigation he found that no commitment was ever entered or judgment roll ever filed and that no minutes of the trial ever were kept. The only record of the case at |all is the filing of the Justice's Court proceedings and the filing of an infor- mation of murder in the Superior Court. These errors may substantiate the ground for release. Fook Yook was sent to San Quentin in January, 1882, to serve twenty years for robbery in San Francisco. In No- vember of the same year Yook killed a fellow inmate. The trial was in Marin County before Judge Bowers.

Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 28.—In the presence of an officer who had just ar- rested him on a felony charge Charles Matney, a prominent and well-to-do rancher of Covina, this county, cut his hospital with hardly,a chance of recov- cry. Mataey had been placed undcr arrest by Constable Van Vliet and was charged with attacking Mrs. W. H. Dearheng, who lives with her husband close to the Matney home. Mrs. Dear- heng swore to the complaint before Justice C. F. Parker this morning. The prisoner, when arrested, asked permission to change his clothing, and officers drove to his house for that pur- pose. Leaving a deputy tc hold the horses, Van Vet accompanied his pris- oner into a bedroom. Matney took off his clothes, even to his shirt. and opened his trunk. In-the trunk lay a razor, which he took up and opened, unseen by the constable. Then he sheuted, “Good-by, all,” and facing about drew the razor across his throat before the surprised constable, who was within eight feet of him, could pre- vent it. ‘Without waiting to put any clothing on him. the officer placed the naked and apparently lifeless man in the buggy and drove to the offices of phy- | sicians two miles away. Ten stitches were taken in the wound. The unconscious priscner was then placed aboard a train and brought to Los Angeles. His wife has told the offi- cers that he admitted his guilt to her. e e A Recruit Welcomed. Two brothers living in West Phila- delphia have had more or less trouble for some time past with the boy next door, and not always did they come off victers. In fact, the boy next door was so much bigger that he seemed to have the best of it in‘'the many en- counters that occurred. So it wasn't an unusua? thing when one of the boys came into the house with a cut or badly bruised eye. The other day one of the lads was crying when his aunt stop- ped in the hall. “Hush, Willle,” she said. “You must- n't make any noise.” “What—what’s the ma-matter?” he asked between his sobs. ““You will disturb your new brother,” said his aunt ‘soothingly. He dried his eyes in a minute. ~“Have I got a new brother?” he | G O OO R Railroad Accidents. | America boasts of her railways—but | is railway traffic in England any safer than‘in this country? Recent statistics of the two Governments seem to show | that it is. Last year 1171 persons were | killed and 17,814 injured in railway cidents in the United Kingdom; 3084 | were killed and 42,113 injured in the United States. But there are 202,471 miles of railroad in this country, as agalinst only 22,152 miles in the United Kingdom. The significant features are that, of every 9,211,022 passengers car- ried on English railways last year, one | was killed, but on American railways | the ratio was 1,883,706 to ome. It would | seem, therefore, that the lives of pas- sengers traveling on English railways | are about five times as secure as on American roads. The official figures show that, of every 466,700 passengers in the United Kingdom last year, one was injured, and that, of every 97,244 | in the United States, one was injured. In the American statistics of killed | and injured—if not in the British—the | list includes accidents of all kinds, whether to persons actually traveling | on trains or walking on or crossing | tracks.—New York Commercial. —— All men are not homeless, but some are home less than others.

Willle fairly shouted. “If me and Jim and the new | one can't lick that fellow next door, | we'd better move."—Philadelphia Even- ing Telegram. } RUS3IAN TRODPS FIGHT CHUNCHESE Bandits in Manchuria Kill Five of Czar’s Soldiers. ST.
