Wise Talks
By the "Office Boy"
Ont beyond you are the chances you
are hoping you may claim;
Oh, you look with eager glances and
you dream of future fame;
Out beyond you, growing dimmer, as
the years are hurried through.
You behold bright chances glimmer
—or you fancy tbat you do.
Out beyond you they are lying where
the ways are smooth and wide,
And you keep forever sighing, where
your worth is daily tried—
Sighing for the far-off chances tbat
your skill unil strength demand.
Deigning not to waste your glancrs
on the better ones at hand.
It's the little things that count,
after all. Nearly every great
enterprise started in the most
modest way and grew slowly,
day by day, week by week,
month by month and year by
year. No such thing as luck en
tered into it. It was the stick
tottiveness, faith and determina
tion of the men back.of it that
won. It's the bubble chasers
and the cross-country prosperity
seekers who hit the toboggan.
How often we hear people say,
"Wait until my mine pans out,"
or "Walt until we strike oil."
They want to get rich over night.
They don't want to use their
God-given brain and muscle.
One of the best ways to be pros
perous is to look prosperous.
And there is no clothing made
• that gives a man the air of pros
perity that one of our Keady
and Kight suits does. Then we
sell the Silverwood $3 hats, us
well as a complete assortment
of Stetson hats, Manhattan
shirts. Dent's, Fownes' and Per
rln's gloves, etc. The best goods
made sold at popular prices.

MAYOR EXACTLY $15
Affidavit of Expenses Shows Ridicu
lously Small Sum—Recall Com.
mittee Will File its
Account Shortly

nection with the recall campaign
amounted to only $15. Of this sum $10
was expended for printed matter, and

nothing as compared with the amount
a mayoralty candidate is allowed by
law to expend in furthering his cam
paign. The account of the recall cam

within a few days.
M'CORMICK AWAITS HIS
OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION

until I hear officially that I have been
selected I am not prepared to say who
they will tie."
Mr McCormick's Appointment is in
the nature of a promotion. For some
time he was assistant under Mr. Law

Boy Slays Companion
HARPER, Kas., April B.—Willie
Hotchkiss, 10 years old, who was re
ported killed by wolves near here yes
terday, was really slain by his play
mate, George Nichols, also aged 10;
according to a confession made by the,

LOS ANGELES HERALD
OFFERS OSWALD
IMMUNITY BATH
TENDERLOIN'S FORMER RULER
INVITED TO RETURN
SEARCH FOR MISSING MAN WILL
CONTINUE
The Reward of a Thousand Dollars
for Capture of Witness by
Grand Jury Still
Stands
Through channels leading to the
hiding place of Nick Oswald, former
ruler in the tenderloin, assurances
were went yesterday by District At
torney Fredericks- that the fullest im
munity will bo extended if Oswald
puts in an appearance in time to go
before the special grand jury as a
witness when that body resumes its
sessions Monday.
So far as could be learned, no fur
ther advances were made by Oswald
yesterday, and the absence of informa
tion concerning the elusive redlight
boss was disturbing to the minds of
the district attorney and others in his
office who have watched sadly the
grand Jury convene and adjourn, re
convene and adjourn again, repeating
the process several times, all because
Oswald will have his own way.
The $1000 offered several days ago
for information leading to the arrest
of Oswald has not been withdrawn,
and there is no likelihood that it will
be, at least for the present.
District Attorney Fredericks, who is
apparently skeptical regarding the sin
cerity of Oswald's offer to return if
he is guaranteed that he will not be
called upon to defend himself in three
distinct criminal actions, said yester
day that one mistake was made when
the reward of $500, offered a week after
Oswald's disappearance, was wlth-
drawn.
"We believed we had him almost in
our grasp at that time," said Mr.
Fredericks. "He eluded us, however,
and the mistake we made then will not
be repealed."
While the district attorney's attitude
is receptive to further negotiations and
he still hopes Oswald will appear be
fore Monday, this fact has not caused
the search for the missing man to end.
Parties are out in several directions,
it is said, and eVery clew received by
the officers is run down.
William Lawrence Fetter, Oswald's
associate, is expected to appear before
Judge James today to explain his fail
ure to respond to the grand jury's call
Tuesday.

BONEBRAKE WILL
BE TAKEN NORTH
SHERIFF OF TULARE COUNTY
COMES FOR HIM
THINKS PRISONER MAY HAVE
BEEN TOOL OF OTHERS
Accused Takes His Arrest Coolly, De.
daring He Will Have No Diffi
culty in Establishing His
Innocence
" Percy L. Bonebrake, who was arrest
ed Wednesday on a charge of selling
cat Ho stolon from Visalia. will be
tukon back today by Sheriff W. W.
Collins, who arrived In Los Angeles
yesterday, having been notified of
Bonebrakn's arrest.
Bonebrako takes his arrest coolly
and states that he will prove his inno
cence easily when arraigned in court.
He is anxious to have his trial as soon
as possible.
Sheriff Collins is inclined to believe
that, though Bonebrake knows about
the cattle stealing, h<- has been used an
a tool by others and that his wrong
doing has been unintentional.
Bonebrake admits that he know the
cattle were stolen, but stoutly asserts
thft he did not know that they did not
belong to D. G. Sanders, who is now
under arrest In Visalia on a charge
similar to that lodged against Bone
brake.
In the sheriff's opinion the arrests are
the first steps in breaking up a well
organized gang of cattle thieves. It is
reported that 250 head of cattle have
been "rustled" In Tulare county within
the past few months.
In speaking of his arrest yesterday
Bonebrake said:
"I admit that the case against "ia
looks strong, because the cattle were
not shipped in the usual way at Han
ford, but I simply was helping San
ders, and went to Hanford and found
the cattle in the stock yards. I loaded
and billed them as I had'been told, and
the fact that I shipped them in my
own name should prove that I was not
trying to evade the law. I expect that
I will be released as soon as I tell my
story in court."

miles from Goldfleld, Nev. • . .
Ken's whereabouts were discovered
by the Los Angeles. police, thanks to
his having mailed racing money orders
from Blair to a cousin in Los Angeles.
When arrested he was at work in a
little Chinese laundry. At first he de
nied that he ever had been in Los An
geles, and asserted that Cheong Bing
Ken was not. his name.
When confronted with the evidence of
the money orders the Chinese admitted
his identity and was taken into custody.
Patrolman Willett, who is on the
Chinatown beat, will leave Los Angeles
today to bring Ken back to Los An
geles, where he will face a charge of

FATHER AND SONS SENT
TO WORKHOUSE. VAGRANTS
Claimed to Be Masons in Hard Luck
and Secured Small Sums
from Sympathetic
Albert B. Engle and his sons Henry
and William, were before Police Jus
tice Chambers yesterday morning and
sentenced to the county workhouse
having pleaded guilty to charges of
vagrancy. Albert 8., the father, and
his son Henry received sentences of
ninety days each and the other son,
William, twenty-five days or J25, but as
he could not raise the fine he was
committed for twenty-five days.
According to Detectives Boyd and
Jones, who made the arrests, the trio
have been beating their way from east
ern cities to Los Angeles on the plea
that they are Masons who had been
held up and robbed of all their money,
and playing upon the sympathies of
Masons for financial assistance. The
elder Engle wore a Masonic charm and
seemed well posted In the secrets of
the Masonic order, and was able to ob
tain sums varying from 10 cents to $2a
on his plea of sympathy.
When arrested the father wore a
Masonic pin, but the police are of the
opinion that neither of the trio are
Masons, but used the game simply as
a pretext to obtain funds.
