After they had been in the town Jjail for a time they planned escape by setting fire to the walls. The flames soon got beyond their control and they | would have burned to death had it not been for a passerby, who gave an alarm and summoned the Volunteer Fire De- partment.

TACOMA, Wash,, April 5.—William Royce must serve a term in the Walla Walla Penitentiary because he took a typewriter from the home of his sweet- heart, Pearl McFarlane, in Spokane County. When tried in the Superior Court an effort was made to show that his prosecution was instituted by the young lady’s parents with the object of breaking off the love affair between their daughter and Royce. The court refused to allow the introduction of Miss McFarlane's letters to Royce, this refusal being one of the main grounds for appeal to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court affirms the judgment of the lower court, which sentenced Royce to one year in prison. He will be taken there next week. * e i NOVEL L POINT RAISED NAPA, April 5.—A novel legal point has arisen in regard to one of the city's new ordinances requiring a license of | vendors of meats. On March 21 last| the City Council passed an ordinance fixing the license for peddlers of meat ! from wagons at $30 per month. The | former rate was $5 a month. A. Smith, who resides about three miles from Napa., has been selling meat from wag- ons, and his old license is good till| April 25. The new license law went into | effect April 1 and Smith refused to sur- render his $5 license to Marshal Thom- | as. A warrant for his arrest was is- sued to-day by Justice McKnight. Smith will contest the demand for the higher license. i THIG ESCAPE IN AUTONOBILE ese, who are loth to give up a fete day, whether it has a historical foun- | dation or not.

Boyer, filed suit yesterday against the S&n Francisco and vicinity branch of the Journeymen Stonecut- ters of America to recover $5910 dam- ages he alleges he has sustained through the conspiring of the officers of the defendant union against him. Boyer complains that the union in- duced his discharge from the employ of the McGilvray Stone Company without cause or provocation. He says that some time ago the McGilvray Stone Company secured a new stone-planing machine and he entered into the em- ploy of the company as the operator thereof, he being the only man on the coast qualified to operate the machine.

Line From Mojave to Town of Hazen in Nevada State WILL HURRY THE WORK Route Will Include System of Carson apd Colorado From Keeler to Churchill The Southern Pacific Company is soon to have another outlet to the East from Los Angeles. project is already under way, and with- in a year it is expected that the new route, which will connect the Southern part of California with the Central Pa- cific in Nevada, will be in operation. Yesterday the law department of the Southern Pacific Company flled with the County Clerk articles of incorpora- tion of the Nevada and California Rail- way Company, which is capitalized for $15,000,000. Of this amount $457,000 is subscribed, Willlam F. Herrin, chief counsel of the Southern Pacific, being credited with $227,000, Assistant Chief Counsel P, F. Dunne with $1000, Chief Engineer Willlam Hood with $227,000, Treasurer N. T. Smith with $1000 and Joseph L. Willcutt with a similar sum. The articles of incorporation set forth that the new company proposes building a road from Hazen, Churchill County, Nevada, southward to “‘a point on the Mojave Desert” and a branch line of twenty-seven miles from Churchill, a station on the Carson and Colorado road, to Mound House sta- tion, situated on the Virginia and Truckee Rallroad. The outline of the purposes of the new company as given in its articles of incorporation are rath- er indefinite in that they convey the idea that the promoters of the road have a gigantic construction scheme before them, whereas it is Harriman's intention to effect connections between Los Angeles and Hazen with the aid of the Carson and Colerado road, thus ne- cessitating the laying of a trifle over 200 miles of track. Briefly, the' Harriman plan is as fol- lows: The proposed cutoff between Hazen, on the Central Pacific line, and Churchill. on the Carson and Colorado road, work upon which is already under way, will be completed under the di- rection of the Nevada and California road, and while this work is in progress the company will start the construction of an extension of the Carson and Colo- rado road from its present southern terminus at Keeler. The course of this extension will be in a southwesterly directiomk for a distance of about 120 miles, eventually connecting with the main line of the Southern Pacific at Mojave. WORK TO BEGIN SOON. It was said by the raflroad officers last night that the construction will be- gin at once and be hurried through as fast as the material can be sent to the front. While the building is proceed- ing a large force will be engaged to broaden the entire system of the Car- son and Colorado line to a standard gauge, so that the new route will be ready to handle freight at the earliest possible time. The main object of connecting the Carson and Colo- rado with the Central Pacific on the north and the Southern Pacific at Mo- jave is said to be the overcoming of the excessive grades at Hazen, the re- Heving of much of the freight traffic congestfon on the coast lines between here and Los Angeles and to also af- ford the southern part of California a quicker service for freight destined for points in the Middle West and the Fast, not convenlent to the Sunset route. With the completion of the Hazen cut-off. which means a saving of about sixty miles of running, the Virginia and Truckee road, which is owned by D. O. Mills and his associates, although oper- ated practically under the direction of the Harriman officials, will cease to be an important factor in railroad traffic ‘business over the Carson and Colorado, which will then be a feeder to the:Mills road instead of the latter being the me- dium for transferring freight from the Central Pacific to the Carson and Colo- strychnine in her coffee, | rado. TO MOVE FREIGHT. ‘he proposed branch line of the Cali- to:nln.pang Nevada from Churchill to Mound House will be about twenty- seven miles long and will be construct- ed simply to facilitate the handling of local freight. It is expected that before the new route between Hazen and Mojave has been completed the Harriman syndicate will have possesed itself of the Tono- pah Railroad, which is now being fed by. the Central Pacific over the Virginia and Truckee and the Carson and Colo- rado lines, a system of transportation that has provoked much dissatisfactien owing to the fact that the Tonopah road is inadequate for freight ship- ments destined for the new Nevada mining camps. A several months’ blockade on the latter road, which is owned by -« Philadelphia syndicate headed by John Brock, was recently raised by General Manager Calvin of the Southern Pacific, and since then the latter company has been piling up freight at the terminus of the little road, where another blockade is threat- ened. According to reliable reports now in circulation Harriman has given Brock to understand that he must sell his line at a fair price to the Southern Pacific or the latter will parallel it next year. Brock's experlence In managing a railroad has not been a happy one, and it is sald that he is seriously con- sidering Harriman'’s proposition to sell. —_———————— STRONG INFLUENCE AT WORK / TO OPEN WASHINGTON PARK Horsemen Admit That Condon Needs This Track in His Battle With Corrigan.
