SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 16. A report was" received here
today by the officials of the Southern Pacific railroad from C. B.
Brown, section foreman of the company, at Naples, Cal., which
gives the details of the discovery of thirty-six. sticks of dyna
mite under, the Cacitas viaduct, twenty miles north of Santa Bar
bara at 2 o'clock this morning, several hours before President
Taft's train was scheduled to pass. Brown says the watchman of
the bridge saw two men at the far end, gave chase, ordered them
to bait and the men ran. The wlatchman then fired and the men
returned his fire.
After they disappeared in the darkness he returned and in
spected the bridge and found the dynamite under the center near
the support with a ten-foot fuse attached to one stick. He left
the stuff alone, went immediately to Santa Barbara and notified
the officials. Sheriff Winse left at once, found the dynamite and
removed it.
Brown reports seeing the two men leave the train at Naples
Saturday night. The sheriffs and police all along the coast are
hunting for the men but have only the meager description furnish
ed by Brown. The president's train passed over the bridge at
5:51 o'clock this morning. '

Walter Atkin for buckwheat and
second prizes to James Davis for
bayon beans and yellow Dent corn.
Yavapai county has nine prizes to

peaches and apples as these fruit
displays are conceded to be far su
perior to any here.
Professor McOmic arrived Saturday
and is one of the judges.
lnc congress will m down to his
tory as the finest and most compre
hensive exhibition of reclaiming arid
lands in the history of the world.
Nearly every country possessing
semi-arid acreages is represented.
Canada has the best showing, her ex
hibits taking up nearly one-half of
the entire ground space. Alberta
and Saskatchewan have the most
complete and interesting showing.
Grains and grasses predominate, al
though some excellent specimens of
root crops, including potatoes, turn
ips and beets are shown. They -will
be hard to beat by anything raised
in the United States.

agricultural and mineral products,
with the exception of asbestos and
mica from Coconino.
I have yet to see any peaches, ap
ples or corn to beat the Yavapai
stuff, but the exhibits are not yet
unpacked.
Coloradans arc anxiously awaiting
the shipments of gold bars and nug

Prcscott National Banks. The chief
of police will detail a plain-clothes

placed in a safe deposit box promptly

Arizona needed this publicity and
the money is well spent. Each in

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 16.
When John Franklin Baker, third
baseman, slammed a home-run
the right field fence in Shibe park
today, scoring Eddie Collins ahead of
him, he pnt tho Athletics on an even
footing with the Giants in the number
or games won in tne worm's cnam
pionship series and the two teams
will leave for New York tonight for
the third game of tho scries. To
day's score was 3 to 1. The big hit
came in the sixth inning with two
out and when tho Athletics had only
secured three hits off Marquardt, the
National league champion. Bak'er's
smash was the last hit the locals got
but it was enough. Just as important
as Baker however was Eddie Plank,
the star south paw of the American
league, who never pitched a better
game in his life. Only once was he
in danger anil that was when Herzog
doubled in second. In the last six
nnings the Giants went out in reg
ular order. Marquardt too, pitched
an excellent game allowing but four
hits though these came in bunches,
two in the first and two in the sixth
which proved his undoing. Marquardt
in the first innings gave some signs
of "blowing" and Manager McGraw
ent Crandall down to the side lines
to warm up but "Robe" soon steadi
ed himself and performed in a grand
manner under the coaching of the
Indian catcher, but he was hit harder
as the score shows. Plank struck out
eight, Devore being his victim four
times. Marquardt got six and neith
er gave a base on balls.
Philadelphia gave Plank superb sup
port and not a bobble was made but
on the other hand many sensational
steps and throws aided him to win.
New York made three errors behind
Marquardt but none of which figured
the scoring except Marquardt 's
wild pitching.
The runs were scored like this:
First Devore struck out: Doyle I
flew to 'Lord; Murray drove a liner j
to Collins. No runs. i
Lord singled to right and took
second on Murray's fumble, third on
Oldring's sacrifice and scored on a.
wild pitch. Collins singled to in
field. Baker struck out. Murphy
flew to Devore. One run.
Second Merkle out, Barry to
Davis. Herzog doubled to center.
Fletcher out, Collins to Davis, Her
zog taking third. Meyers singled,
Herzog scored. Marquardt struck out.
One run. Davis out, Doyle to Mer
kle; Barry flied to Devore who muff
ed, Barry taking second. Thomas
fned to Devore; Plank out, Meyers
to Merkle on bunt. No runs.
Sixth Doyle out to Davis unas
sisted. Snodgrass singled to left and
was caught at second trying to
stretch to double. Murray struck'
out. No runs. Lord flied to S nod
grass; Oldring flied to Devore, Col
lins doubled to left. Baker hit a
home-run over the right field fence.
The crowd went wild and the gamo
was delayed ten minutes. Murphy
struck out. Two runs.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 16.
Seemingly caught by the first big
snag in the McNamara trial today, ho
wiggled out and went joyfully on,
"Could you set aside your opinions
sufficiently to anable you to give a
fair and impartial verdict?" asked
Attorney Darrow, for the defense, of
Seth Nelson, the talesman who has
been under examination since the
first day of the trial last Wednesday.
"I don't just know,'' Nelson an
swered. District Attorney Fredericks
immediately withdrew his opposition
to the challenge made by the defense
on the ground of bias.
"There is nothing else to do when
the man disqualifies himself," said
Fredericks. Nelson had been asked
more than an hundred questions with
out clearly stating his position.
Two talesmen were temporarily
passed today John W. Roberts, real
estate man, and Robert F. Bain, a
carpenter.
The local Merchants and Manufac
turers' association, which offered a
reward for the alleged dynamiters,
was brought into the case today, Dar
row asking Roberts if he ever be
longed to it. He said he" did seven
years ago. Darrow said he might
question Bain further tomorrow.
