SAN FR A-‘Icls .-pt. 15. —~’I‘hcre has de- veloped a rem “Mlle change of public sentiment, and half the people now be- lieve thatM. B. Curtis, the comedian, is an innocent man. There is much mystery surrounding the w hole alfal1.’l‘ho theory of Curtis’ friends, that anothe 1 hand than his fired the shot which killed Officer ’Grant gains support from a story told by Eli Denison, who has charge of news mat- ter distributed on trains of the Southern Pacific company. Denison , 1 1210 liv es in Oakland, makes the following statement: “On the ferry boat Sunday I met a man Iknow by sight, but not by name. We were discussing various subjec. s, and the conv e1sation naturally drifted toward the murder. ‘This talk about Cuitis having done the killing is all u. mistake,’ said the stranger. ‘The whole truth will come out in a few days and probably at the exam ination. I met a man today w 110 s: Iys he . saw the tragedy, and he is Ieady to take 'E oath that Grant and Curtis were accom- panied by a third man, who did the shoot- ing and then ran. Even when I met him he was on the way to Captain Lee’,s to whom he said he intended to give the story.’ ” Another Shot Which The Pilot Boat Washington Safe. NEW YORK, Sept. 15. —The pilot boat Washington, the last of the pilot fleet that it was feared was lost" In the recent cyclone, arrived here in tow. Her officers and crew report a terrible experience during the storm, the vessel being thrown on her beam ends and her masts going by the board. She weathered the castorm, how- ever, and when it broke jury masts were rigged and the vessel steered for pCIt. She was met by another pilot boat, which towed herin. Except for the loss of the masts the Washington is none the worse for her severe handling in the storm. Blaine to Go to Aug.ustn.

ALBERTSON’SBIG Gill/Ill. He Stole $20,000 in Cash .15 Nearly a Million in Securities. THEN HE TALNLD BUSINESS. His Ofl‘er to Return the Securities to the Bank if He Wasn’t Prosecutor! “’as Ac- cepted, but the Bank Bro-II. :: Faith, ' and Thou Came the Kidnaping. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.—The San Francisco Examiner prints a sensational story concerning the robbery of the FidelI ity Trust bank, at Tacoma, by its score-- tary, Edward Albertson, on Aug. M last. It was believed at first that Albertson lost about $9,000 only in speculation, and sur- prise was caused by the extraordinary ef- forts made to capture him. It now up: pears that he took $20,000 in cash and nearly $1,000,000 in securities. On Aug. 24 a note was received by Paul Schultze, a director of the bank, from Al- bertson, saying that he had lost $10,000 of the bank’s money in speculation, and to , force compromise had taken $10,000 more ' in cash and $900,000 in securities. It said that Albertson would meet him or one of .his representatives in the woods at a des- ignated place and returh the securities if given a written agI cement that he would , i not be prosecuted. How the Exchange ‘73:; Made. The point chosen gives a commanding view of all the approaches, and Albertson said he would flee at once if he saw more than one man coming. Moreover, he had changed the combination to the vaults, ‘ I I l I and it would take three days to open them ' without it, and meanwhile the bank’s credit would suffer. A meeting of the di— _. rectors was held and it was agreed to ac- : cept a comprOmise. Aman’was sent to the meeting place with a signed agreement not to prosecute. Instead of Albertson he » found one Chandler, a Tacoma gambler, ‘ who was evidently an accomplice. Thc.’ messenger gave him the agreement and re- , ceived the securities and the combination : to the vaults. The men separated, and ' the messenger saw Albertson join Chan- 3 dler. The Kidnaplng Schemes. The bank at once began extraordinary efforts to capture the theives. J. H. Ca- hoon,‘ cashier of the Fidelity bank and brother-in-law of Albertson, was kidnaped by Detective Sullivan, who confined him in a hotel for several days, trying to force aconfession. The story got out and Sul- livan was forced to release the prisoner, who was then legally arrested for com- plicity. Last Thursday, as is known, Sul- livan and two guards boldly kidnaped B. B. Albertson, a. second cousin of the ab- sconder, and W. E. Bailey, who happened to be with him, in the streets of Seattle. Albertson was suspected of complicity in his cousin’s actions. the thieves have escaped. How Two Brules Amused Themselves. MILWAUKEE, Sept. 15.~-Mrs. Tillie Hunt- er, colored, sixty-eight years of age, went into a saloon on Martin street to get a pail of beer.

They flamed up in an instant. By the aid of a policeman, w ho heard the woman’s shrieks, ' the flames Were extinguished, but not until the woman was terribly burned. The. fellows made their escape. The woman died later in the evenihg. Dancing‘Tliemselves to Death. GUTHRIE, O.
