Con- stable Clarke gave chase at once, and | down the street the two men ran. Fichter crossed and doubled back around some barns and started for the store again. At this point Clarke met a stranger who, divining the cause of the chase, at once shouted: “Want that man for the jury? “Yes,” swered Clarke, said the other, drawing a revolver from his pocket and shout- ing after the fleeing grocer: **Hait, there; halt, or I'll fire!"” Fichter heard the click-click of the revolver as it was cocked and speedily came to a standstill, throwing his hands into the air and screaming at the top of his lungs: “Don’t ghoot; I'll go.” The stranger then held a bead on Fichter nnd the Constable hurried to his qua and served him with the summon: — g START FIRE FHAT BURNS A VILLAGE Entire Population of Iskorosk, Rus- sla, Reduced to Beggary by the Flames. - Russia, May 28.—The of Iskorosk has been loss is estimated at GITOFIR, large village The $1,000,000.

The Grand Jury met Friday and filed a report regarding its inspection of the City and County Hospital. The report states that many necessary im- provements have been made and the institution ig In first-class order. The report continues: The bulldings for the help are in a dilapi- dated condition, and the electric wiring is im- perfect. There is a need of fire escapes on the bulldings, and the bullding occupled by the fe- male nurses is unfit for the purpose for which it is used. While nearly nmew, the foundation and flooring are rotted away. We see the ne- cessity for a new hospital at onee, and we would recommend that if another location should be secured that the present site should always be retained by the city as an auxiliary hospital, the mild climate and pure air in this location being unsurpassed in this gity. The Grand Jury recommended that the Board of Supervisors and the, Board of Health compel the Sanitary Reductién Works to install a smoke consumer on its chimney in eorder to prevent the dissemination of fumes that are said to be injurious to health. The Grand Jury finds that the neces- sary apparatus can be installed at an increased expense of 20 per cent in the fuel bill.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 28.— While being pursued by a detective two men, thought to be freight car | robbers, jumped into the river and were drowned or killed. Special Da- tective Wilson discovered four men in the railway yards acting in a sus- picious manner. Two of them pursued by Wilson ran toward the river and Jumped into the swollen stream. Wil- son fired a dozen shot at them, when finally one of them cried out, “I'm shot!” and disappeared under the sur- face. The other man reached a bridge abutment. As he clung there the de- tective fired three shots at him, one of which struck him and he sank into the water. - HEIRESS CLAIMS LAWYER TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HER Mrs. Jeannje Desoza Files Repudia- tion of Assignment of Legacy to Attorney F. J. Russell. Jeannie Desoza (nee Bamber), grandniece of James Scobie, who, in November, 1903, assigned to F. J. Russell, her attorney, her interest in the estate of her granduncle, yester- day filled a notice in the Superior Court that she repudiated the assign- ment. She says that she was a minor at the time the assignment was made and that Russell took advantage of her ig- norance to secure her signature to the document. She says further that Rus- sell, knowing that she was not fully informed as to her rights, fraudulent- ly represented the condition of her in- terests to her. The Scoble estate is worth $375,000. Mrs. Desoza’s interest consisted of a one-third interest in the $35,000 de- vised by Scobie to his sister, Cather- ine Griffin of Guerneville.
