During a lucid interval to-night Mack stated to the officers that he had gone to a room in the Grand Central Hotel, accompanied by a man named S. A. Parker, to see a woman friend. As soon as he entered the room he was struck twice from behind, and then he remember: no more until he was crawling from a window to the roof of the adjoining building. When he tried to reach around the corner of the building to a window his hand slipped and he fell forty feet to the street, striking J. R. Vogle, a well-known druggist. Vogle broke the force of Mack’s fall and prevented his death. Mack had entered the hotel early in | the afterncon, accompanied by a young | man supposed to be Parker. Nothing was known of the fight in the room and no trace of Parker can be found. An examination of the room showed that it had been the scene of a des- perate struggle. Blood was spattered | over the walis and a broken chair showed what Mack had been struck with. The detectives believe Mack was a victim of the ‘“badger” game, but they have been unable to find those who assaulted him. He has about an even chance of recovery. i B tacy. B, 1.

It is reported that Jonathan Hutchin- son has said that “when a man sneeczes the best of health.,” and that “no person in poor health was ever known to sneege.” The Scientific American, refer- ring to this reported statement. falls foul of the English surgeon for making so dogmatic an asertion when the gon- trary is so casily proved. The journal in question then goes on to relate many old superstitions with regard to the ill luck attending sneezing, some of which, while proving notning, are interesting. It ap- pears that many savage and semi-civil- ized races of the Orient have some curi- ous customs regarding the sneeze. When the Sultan of Monomtopa sneezes, for in- stance, the fact is made known from his palace by a certain signal. Instantly every subject within hearing of the sig- nal setswup 2 shout, the cry is taken up by others, and so extends until it ru through the confines of his empire. Wh:: the Sultan of Senaar snzezes, on the con- trary, every woman in his harem or within hearing tarns hes back on him and makes a sign of contempt by smit- ing her hips with her hands—disgusted that so mighty a personage should have to sneeze like an ordinary mortal.—Med- ical Record. | heartily he may know himself to be in | i ! his possession. tion and their trail afterward- was marked by two hold-ups, another B2 glary, robbery of a till and an assauit. | The victim of one hold-up was struck on the head with a revolver and se- | riously injured, but the other escaped, ' after giving up what money he had in A laborer who was a witness tc one of the crimes was beaten by the thugs.

STEAL REVOLVERS. 1 About 10 o'clock.the erooks went to the store owned by Niven & Veeder at 210 Brannan strect and, with the use of a “jimmy,” forced off the shutters that protected . of the front windows. They entered the store, went to the piace where the guns were kent and secured two revoivers and several boxes of ammunition. They also se- cured « loot, which was not of a bulky Loading the revolvers, they i for South ‘Park.

In South Park the burgiars met Con- stantine Quasdika, who resides at 268 Brannan street. They ordered him to throw up his hands, at the same time placing two revolvers to his head. Quasdika complied with the command and two of the mx went through his pockets, taking a small amount - of coin. They then ordered the man to walk the direction of Third street, while they disappeared in the darkness of a side street. Regardless of the fact that the police might be searching the neighborhood for them, they re- turned to Brannan street, between Second and Third, and entered the Teamsters’ Exchange saloon while the proprietor was drawing a pitcher of beer for a woman who was waiting outside. One of the men went behind the bar, opened the cash register and pocketed about $28. . The proprietor turned, but the robbers rushed from the place and ran toward Third street. Soon afterward the men appeared at | the corner ef Third and Brannan streets and approached Antone Galicia, who was starding in front of a saloon. | They demanded money from the man, | but he informed them tha® he did not | have any. They then asked him to take | them inside and buy them a drink, but without funds. One of the robbers then struck him on the head with the butt end of a revolver, cutting a gash two inches long. Galjcia fell to the pave- ment, shouting for help, and his assail- ants ran off. The injured man was taken to the office of a physician in the neighborhood and the wound was stitched. ENTER A SHOE STORE. The quartet of criminals then visited the boot and shoe store of Max Wolf at 820 Third street and looted it. They took goods valued at $50. Then all trace of them was lost. The police were | at once notified and detectives started | to work. Late last night Detectives Graham and Fitzgerald, who were detailed in| the district, located four men who were | acting in a suspicious manner on Har- rison street and watched them. The men appeared to be lyving in wait for somebody. A newsboy was then seen to approach and give a signal to the men and the four started off. The de- tectives were quickly upon the crowd and had them in irons. An old man, who is supposed to have been another “Jookout,” was also taken into custody. At the Central Police Station, to which the men were taken, it was found that two of them were the no- torious Stafford brothers, who have served terms in the penitentiary. The newsboy also bears an unsav- ory reputation with the pelice. Some de- tectives believe that they are the per- sons responsible for the crimes com- mitted on the previous night as well as others which have recently caused trouble for the police.

' SHOOTS ENENY FROM_AMBUSH Mystery Surrounds Attempted Murder in Italian Colony Soon After Midnight Hour e Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Dec. 24. At an early hour this morning Louis | Eratziatino, an Italian laborer, was ambushed and fatally shot by Louis Oreo in front of the latter's home at 2160 Glen avenue. Oreo stoed behind a tree when he fired the shots and made his escape when his victim, with two bullet wounds in the neck, fell to the pavement. Just what caused the shooting the police have been unable to ascertain, except that it was the result of a row the two men had earlier in the evening. Captain Peterson and a posse of offi- cers are searching for the would-be murderer, but as yet have been unable to locate him. Oreo, who is aiso a laboring men, re- sides with his wife and family at the house in front of which the tragedy happened. [Eratziatino has recently been making his home at the same place and the two were presumed to be fast friends. Something happened to sever their friendship last night and a row was the result. From this point mystery, which thé officials have ye been unable to unravel, arises. The members of the family will not talk and their neighbors, who are of the same nationality, remain silent. Soon after midnight two reports of a pistol were heard and when the po- lice arrived on the scene Eratziatino was found on the sidewalk, bleeding from two wounds in the neck. He was removed to the Fabiola Hospital, where the physicians pronounced his injuries fatal. Captain Peterson, on learning that the assassin had made his escape, picked a posse of men and started for the scene. Peterson found that Oreo had stood behind a tree di- rectly in front of the house and fired as his victim passed. Where the men were after the trouble happened early in the evening or what occurred be- tween them could not be ascertained. - —oac DEMAND FOR FAMILY RECORD BIBLES | | | Not so Great as Formerly, but sun[ the Inguiry for Them Is | Considerable. ) “Do we still sell the old fashioned family Bible, with pages in it for the record of births, deaths add mar- | riages? Oh, yes,” said the book-| seller, “but not so many of them as we once did. i “There are more Bibles sold now, | taking them all together, than ever | before, and the Bible is issuéd now in an almost endless variety of forms and styles: but the demand for it in| this particular form is now, I should | say, not more than one-third what it once was. “Still, we keep these record Bibles| to-day in a dozen styles, ranging in price from $5 to $20. The blank rec- ord pages, these often illuminated, | are bound in between the testaments. “In some of these Bibles there is| a blank presentation page upon which may be written the name of the per- son to whom the Bible is presented, with the name of the giver; and in some of them is contained a blank | marriage certificate; and in some of | them are bound in with the pages for the record of births, deaths and mar- riages pages for the record of tem- perance pledges. “These Bibles are more likely to be bought nowadays by country people, and it might be by people of the Ger- man race and by Irish Protestants; ! all likely to be substantial people of comfortable means; conservative peo- ple who cling to time honored cus- toms. “So, while the old time family ree- ord Bible, with pages for the record‘ of births, deaths and marriages, has gone somewhat out of fashion and is not sold to the extent to which it once was, yet it is still sold. and the de- mand for it is still considerable.— New York Sun. —_———————— The Red Bluff'People’s Cause says that the headgate of the Central Canal, north of St. John, has been compieted and work is progressing on th> line of the canal in Glenn and Colusa coun- ties. ————— The Marysville Appeal says that the women are in earnmest in proposing to improve Marysville through the agen- &y of a Civic Improvement Club.
