EUREKA, Oct. 24—A young man giving the name of Roy Ray caused a great deal of excitement this morning at an early hour by stealing a loco- motive out of the carhouse at Arcata and running her full speed to Salmon Creek, a distance of twenty miles. As he approached the crossings = he whistled and rang a bell of warning. At Salmon Creek the station agent, J. D. Adams, heard the locomotive go by and he started to investigate. On go- ing out he found that the engine had “died” "a short distance away. In the cab was Ray, who said he was walting for her to cool down. She had very little water in the boiler and only sixty pounds of steam up. The engine is ruined. Ray was taken in charge by Adams and his' assistant. They brought him into town, where he was placed under arrest and charged with placing an obstruction on the track. Had the engine not “dled” as it did it would have met the incoming freight near the Table Bluff tunnel and a head-on collision would have resulted, An old acquaintance of Ray this afternoon claimed that his right name is Lester, and that he is one of the convicts who escaped from Folsom some months ago. Ray has been at work the last few weeks on the new city hall building in this city. He is a heavy drinker and it is thought that he has become crazed from the excessive use of spirits.

The people of the town of Wendell, Mass., Hetty's former home town, had hopes that she would give them a library, or at least would contribute to a fund for the dissemination of liter- ature. In a curt letter Mrs. Green nips in the bud all such cherished hopes and warns them that, furthermore, she will irvoke the aid of the law to cut down her tax bill from $25 to $22 50. The Green house is the most dilap- —_— idated fn the town, though it stands on a most conspicuous site, next in prominence to that of the village church. Last winter the roof fell in; the floors had given way long ago and the house has been windowless for years.
