SACRAMENTO, March 238.—Adju- tant General J. B. Lauck states that there seems to be a misunderstanding relative to pay due volunteers who en- sted in State organizations during TACOMA, Wash., March 23.—If John Delaney had kept his mouth closed San Francisco police officers would not now | be en route to -Tacoma to take him| back there to stand trial for a daring; burglary committed there several ! months ago. Delaney was arrested here February 28 for snatching a suit | case from Mrs. Mueller of Everett as she was taking a Portland train and | was sentenced to thirty days in jail | The officers made no attempt to secure | his previous record and it remained for | him to seal his own fate by telling his | fellow prisoners how bold and bad he had been. During-a comparison of thelri misdoings, Delaney told the other pris- | oners that he had committed a daring | burglary in San Francisco and later | had forfeited $4000 ball in order to make | a pleasure trip to Puget Sound. One of these prisoners on being released told a detective of Delaney’s boast. Chief Maloney wrote to San Francisco and to-day received confirmation of Dela- ney’s story in a letter from Captain Spillane, in which the latter says: “Whatever you do, don’t let him get away.” Chief Maloney received a tele- gram this afternoon announcing that a ' detective had started from San Fran- cisco with a bench warrant to secure the prisoner. ————— SANTA CLARA COU BELLE BECOMES A BRIDE Miss Winifred Morse Marries A. L. Hart, Who Is Connected With San Francisco Postoffice. SAN JOSE, March 23.—Miss Wini- fred Morse, one of the most popular OROVILLE, March 23.—The citi- zens of Oroville are In accord with the movement for a chain of tourist hotels in the Sacramento Valley. A site of from ten to fifteen acres will be do- nated and a local subscription to the extent of $20,000 in stock will be tak- en in the new enterprise, if necessary. Dr. R. N. Green, vice president of the Sacramento Valley Development Association, said to-day: “Oroville will donate a wite of from ten to fifteen acres to the builder of a tourist hotel. We will also take up a local subscrip- tion for stock in the enterprise. I be- lieve fully $20,000 would be raised.” The movement for a chain of tourist hotels is the result of the work of the California Promotion Committee and others who have been vigorously call- ing attention to this need in the val- ley. The opinion is expressed that a ho- tel costing from $65,000 to $100,000 would be ample for Oroville at the present time. Such a hotel, it is sug- gested, should be built so as to permit additions without destroying its arch- itectural features. ———— HERMIT WOODCHOPPER IS FOUND MURDERED Robbery Is Believed to Have Been the Motive for the Terrible Crime, FRESNO, March 23.—James Mor- rissey, a hermit woodchopper, was found dead near his lonely cabin west of Raymond this morning with two bullet holes in his back. For fifteen years he had worked and saved, avoiding all men and hoarding and FRESNO, March 23.—Seven years ago Selim, a valuable trotter belonging to Joaquin Madrid, a farmer on the San Joaquin River, mysteriously disap- peared from his stable and this morn- ing he came home. Selim’s owner was awakened from his slumbers at dawn by a whinny at the yard gate. Rising and stepping out the front door, he was struck dumb with astonishment to see his long-lost pet eagerly pawing at the fence. horse ran up to and frolicked about him, unquestionably demonstrating his joy and recognition. On the night of February 26, 1898, Se- lim was taken from Madrid's stable, hitched to a buggy the thief found in the barn and driven away. Madrid spent $100 in advertising and following up clews, but was never able to recover his property. The rig was traced to Madrid opened the gate and the | i STERLING, I, March 23.—The six weeks’ old babe of Mrs. E. R. Merry- man was carried 200 miles from home yesterday before the anxious mother discovered what had . become of the child. Mrs. Merryman was met at the train by her sister. She was so anxious to get home that she forgot about her sleeping infant and hurried away, talking about her pleasant visit. After a time she discovered she had forgot the baby. Telegrams were sent after the train, and in Iowa the child was found, still sieeping. In care of train- men it was sent home, arriving to-day. —— Santa Barbara and there the trail was lost. Hope of recovering Selim had long since been given up, when the horse suddenly put in an appearance this morning. | the Erection of the Plant —— Special Dispatch to The Cail RENO, Nev., March 23.—The Western Ore Purchasing Company, one of the largest ore reducing companies in Ne- vada, will erect a large sampling works and smelter at Tonopah. The plant will cost $100,000 and when compieted will be one of the best on the coast. The building of the smelter at Tono- pah will mean much for the southerm gold cquntry, and as a result many of the ler mines of Tonopah and Goldfield will be worked extensively. The small mine owners of the mining camps are at present greatly handi- capped in turning their ore inte gold, as they have to ship it to other points in Nevada or California to have it worked. They are at a great expense in doing this and as a result are unable to work their claims to advantage. hiding his earnings no ' one knew where.
