He went the. courtroom of Judge Wing on the sixth floor to arrange the -matter, but she “answered that she did not care to plead at-that time, and preparations were at once made to take her to the Jail. When she was about to leave the Federal building the ‘éxcifement was greater, if possible, than before. The carriages, after & few minutes’ delay, fopoed a passage, and once dut of the #ley Mrs. Chadwick was hurried away to the jail. She passed through streets with thronged curbs, only.slo run the gauntlet of another'mob that had been gathering for hours. Into the jail the prisoner - was hurried, to the accom- paniment of more shouts and jeers and ihe clicking of photographers’ cameras. Sheriff Barry asked Mrs. Chadwick the usual questions. She stated her age to.be 38 years. her residence as Cleve- land .and the United States as _the country of her birth. Mrs. Chadwick was then taken to her cell. ‘The Federal indictments against Mrs. Chadwick are five in number. Three of them charge her with aiding and abetting otficers of a national bank to defraud the institution and two charge her with conspiring against the United States.

W. McNabb of this coun- ty returned this afterncon from San Francisco, having in charge Sidney Jarvis and Arthur Swindell, who are held on charges of robbing the ex- press car on the Santa Fe westbound overland train on the night of Decem- | ber 4, and murdering Evan O. Roberts, the Wells-Fargo messenger. After a week of unrelenting search Deputy McNabb arrested Jarvis and Swindell at the Burlingame track near San Francisco. On the night of the robbery these two men, it is alleged. were in the horse car in front of the express car which was robbed. They were in the employ of F. J. Mackey, an English milltonaire horse owner, whose hobby is polo ponies. The two men were em- ployed at Chicago to come west with the horses and were both on the train | at the time of the robbery. Jarvis was married on the night before he | left Chicago. The evidence against the two men is said to be very, strong. It has not yet been determined whether the prelimi- nary hearing will be held here or at Daggett. ——— e HOTEL REPRESENTATIVES MEET AT SANTA BARBARA Discuss Plans Whereby Business | Might Be Conducted on a More Profitable Scale. | SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 14.—Rep- | resentatives of twenty-one of the lead- ing tourist hotels, covering the terri- tory extending from San Francisco to | San Diego, met in conference in the | parlors of the Potter Hotel in this city this afternoon In response to a call of a few leading hotel managers, ADVERTISEMENTS. e SR L Eagleson & Ca. = “RELIABLE" ‘Men’s Furnishings THE LATEST Holiday Novelties Suit Cases Suspenders, Etc.

If any one en-| tertained any doubts as to the seriousness | of this occasion and the urgent necessity on the part of us tenants of the old Bishop Building to get rid of our stock | quickly, such doubts were quickly and | thoroughly dispelled by the auction sale of the balance of the furniture Deflple'li Stock next door during the past two days. Many who attended this sale saved enough in the price of their furniture to buy one of our fine planos, and many | agaip, saved enough in the price of the | new piano which they secured at our present closing out sale to buy a big dray load of furniture. | ‘This is no idle talk—but actual fact—as | will be found by any one who will but stop a moment to investigate the condi- tions as they are. Price cuts little figure now, for we must | get rid of this stock no matter what the | sacrifice. Twenty-nine sales of fine pianos and or- | gans were recorded at the Pommer-Eilers Removal Sale on Monday and Tuesday, and in spite of yesterday's unfavorable weather the sales by closing time will, foot up more than a dozen. ! THE END IS NEAR. At this rate it will simply be out of question to keep the sale open until the close of the month, for everything will be closed out before that time. There'll. be no more planos at these cut prices when the stock now on our main salesrooms floor is gone. At the very last minute we decided to throw into this sacrifice three additional carioads of Decker and Kimball Hazelton pianos which were on the wa when the sale commenced, and every one of these choice pianos are marked to sell at the same reductions in price that has made this sale the wonder of the -trade throughout the United States.’ Bear in mind that the total amount o pianos and organs sold since the com- mencement of this sale exceeds $LI8,000, and that we will easily reach the $150,000 mark this week. ‘We offer this morning an elegant Deck- er Brothers upright for $85. We offer a very g00d serviceable C. D. Pease -upright for $75, a Neuman, also in good order, for $64.
