April 28, 1906 Page 6 Told Conductor to Carry Away Hobos MONTAGUE (Siskiyou Co.), April 28 - At 8 o'clock Thursday evening a freight train from the south arrived here and the conductor and brakeman put off the train forty or fifty hobos and toughs. This somewhat enraged the citizens and they concluded that this tough gang should immediately leave town. Constable Frank MILES, accompanied by a large number of town people, went to the conductor and informed him that he would have to take them out of town, as California at the present time had enough earthquake sufferers to look after. The conductor opened a box-car door and told the "bunch" to get in, and shortly after the train pulled out for Oregon. Montague, since the late calamity in San Francisco and other towns in this State, has fed a large number of refugees en route to relatives in this county and others who belong just over the Oregon line, but to be compelled to feed forty or fifty hobos was asking too much. Allen Arraigned GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), April 28 - Jack ALLEN, who so fearfully stabbed his wife and father-in-law in this city a number of weeks ago, was arraigned before Judge FRANK to-day, charged with attempted murder. A complaint was sworn to yesterday afternoon by William JENKIN, son of Alfred JENKIN, who was so dangerously wounded, charging ALLEN with the attempted murder of his father and sister. Young JENKIN is determined to prosecute ALLEN without mercy, and should ALLEN be discharged, the young man is likely to wreak vengeance on him, if he keeps the vows he made some time ago. JENKIN is now out of danger and able to sit up for a short while each day. He was not able to appear in Court to-day. Left Relatives in Sacramento DELTA (Shasta Co.), April 28 - Mrs. L.C.

UNKNOWN MAN MADE ATTEMPT TO START CONFLAGRATION IN TRUCKEE Town Saved From Disastrous Fire in Nick of Time - Tough Characters Overrun Place TRUCKEE (Nevada Co.), April 28 - Between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock Wednesday morning some unknown individual deliberately took an old coat, wrapped it in several old newspapers, applied a match to it and threw the parcel in the woodshed at the rear of the Capital Saloon. But for the night cook for Ben KING, who conducts a restaurant in the saloon, the town might have suffered a heavy loss by fire. The range of the restaurant is close by the rear window, and the cook happened to be preparing a meal when the light in the woodshed attracted his attention. He rushed out the door and observed that the fire had not ignited other material in the building, but was burning only the coat. He stamped out the blaze and returned to the restaurant, thinking that he had entirely smothered out the fire. Ben KING, the owner of the restaurant, returned to his place of business about 6 o'clock. He went into the woodshed and discovered that the fire had not been extinguished. The burned coat was smoking, and he hastened to stamp out the fire. The man who threw the coat in the window is not known, but a certain individual is under suspicion, having been seen in that vicinity by other people a few minutes before the fire was discovered. The deliberate act to burn down the town has caused considerable talk among the business element of Truckee. At the present time there are a number of very tough characters in this place. Friday morning, Charles OCKER, Chairman of the Relief Committee, was compelled to use force to eject ten hoboes who insisted upon having hot water with which to bathe their faces and hands, near the relief headquarters. They were ordered out of town. Mr. OLIVER caught one man in the act of taking a package of coffee from the supply room. This man was given a start for the east end of the railroad yards. There is some talk on the street of calling a mass meeting to handle the situation as the tough element must be made to move on.
