SACRAMENTO, Dec. 11.—While criti- | cism is still ringing in the ears of the | jurors who voted to let Convict J. H. | Wood off with light punishment for the | murder of Guard W. L. Cotter, plans | are under way which are intended to | bring the desperate Folsom escape to the gallows. Wood is undergaing im- prisonment at Folsom on his original |life sentence, so his conviction on a | charge of murder in the second degree, | with a term of imprisonment as the ’penulty. meant nothing whatever to him. But it is known that Wood was one of the escaped convicts who at Placerville, El Dorado County, killed Milittamen Rutherford and Jones at the Grand Victory mine. District Attorney Seymour said to- day that he was convinced that the desperado’s trail from the time he left Pilot Hill to the time of the tragic scene at the Grand Victory mine was perfectly plain. . In company with Dis- trict Attorney Peters of El Dorado County, Seymour visited the ground end examined witnesses, with the re- sult they have secured evidence enough to warrast them in proceeding with the trial of Wood for murder at the county seat of El Dorado County. —————— BUTLER, Pa., Dec. 114—11:: death trom and four new are believe the bas Negotiations for | books of fair: its purchase by Tacoma lumbermen fell | | myriad every one of the 300 pupils.

SANTA CLAUS APPEARS.

The genial Santa depended not upon for- mality, therefore introduction beink unnecessary he made himself at home and at ease with the gaping young "ones and kept up his kindly reputation by presenting to each good littie boy and girl a present. As soon as the good Santa’s stock was exhausted he would return to his quarters and come forth once again with ever so many more pretty things until the children began to think there could be no limit to his generosity and resources. TOWNSFOLK INTERESTED. It was admitted by the interested townsfolk and all who had been at- tracted to the scene of the distribution that the well-mannered, bright pupils deserved all they got; and there were no prouder people in Sausalito than Mayor Thomas and Principal Sharpe, Miss Florence Mcisaac, Miss Clara Crumpton, Miss E.
