IMpR0MPTu BULL FlaHT.

From the Sacramento Union OF saturday.
Yesterday about noon, while G. F.
Reed was reading the list Of premiums
At the Park, two Devon bulls that were
standing In front OF the judges stand
became unruly andwithout any prelim.
iuary skirinlshing locked horns, and
for a few moments had a severe strug-
gle. They had been surrounded By a
crowd of lookers.on. and In the strug-
gle the animals knocked down five
men and one boy, and severely Injured
the boy and two Of the men. The
fight was o fierce one whilc 1t lasted,
but It was soon stopped by the bulls
beiug secured. As might be Imagined,
all was confusion In the Immediate
vicinity, and for a while It looked as
though the other anlmsls around would
become unruly also. Que Of the i'll
jured men was caught between tho
bulls and rolled over by n Of them,
and, hitting against a fence post, was
badly crushed, but he managed to walk
across the track aud was properly
cared for. Subsequently he tainted
from pain, but last evening we under
stood he was not seriously hurt. The
Others mentioned were knocked down
aud one was trod upon, but none sus-
any great damage. The boy was
picked up and taken away. 1t was
thought that some Of the Injured ones
were dangerously wounded and loud
calls were made for a doctor. The ex-
element was heightened by Reed all
nouncing from the stand that the man
who was crushed was dying. 1t
turned out. however, that 1t was n boy
In one Of Halls stalls who was so sick.
During the struggle Of the bulls they
came up against the fence dividing
the quarter-stretch and inside track,
and crushed through 1t as though IL
was made Of lsths. There were some
horses standing there, awaiting the
reading of the awards, II Of which q
bull struck, frightening the horse so
much that he whirled suddenly around
aud upset the sulky he was harnessed
to. The driver was thrown to the
ground and run yer by n of the
wheels of the vehicle. but was not hurt
so badly that he could not run and
catch the horse. 1t was fortunate the
animals we're secured so quickly, else
some one would have undoubtedly
been killed. superintendent Carey,
In trying to sscnre tho bulls, was
thrown down and hurt n little, but 1t
did not prevent him from finishing his
duties.

IMPORTANT CANAL PRoJRoT.

It Is rumored that tho money, or
rather the greater part Of it which
Germany receives from France as war
indemnity, will be applied to paying
the expenses Of digging a canal from
Kiel across the Isthmus Of Schleswlg-
Holsteln, connecting the Baltic and
the North Seas. The canal will be
about sixty miles long, but most Of 1t
will consist Of merely an improvement
In the Elder river and an enlargement
Of the canal already dug from Kiel-
haven to Elsdorf, connecting the Baltic
with the Elder. The land Is level aud
very rich. aud the ports on both sides
are good. Kiel, In the event Of the
completion of the canal, would inevi-
tably become the greatest shipping
port Of Germany, and would seriously
affect st. Petersburg, and injure
Copenhagen excessively. Hamburg
would feel 1t less, as that city would
still hold a high rank In the American
trade. and command Hanover and the
States further South. It must be made
lags enough for all classes Of ships to
make 'it n complete success, and the
tolls must DO made very light. other
wise trade would find It easier to round
the peninsula through Sksger Rack.
We hardly think that Russia will
look With n favorable eye on this pro-
ject, as it menaces the loss Of CONNER
cial influence to her In the Baltic.

The CALIFORNIA THEATRE.

The San Francisco Bulletin Of Satur-
day gives the following description Of
the recent improvements to the famous
California theatre In that city:
The Interior Of the theatre has been
entirely remodelled, with a view to
securing 4 freshness and harmony Of
style, proper acoustic properties, and
all the incldentals that conduce TO the
ease and comfort Of the patrons. The
proscenium has been rebuilt In a nan
ner that Is generally approved of by
experts, and even to the u1initiated
suggests a grace heretofore lacking. 1t
now has an imposing elegance. On
either side are too cozy stage boxes,
the upper two fronted by chandeliers
Of twenty-four lights and the lower by
cluster vino bracelets, |. G., a row of
lights, with trailing lily vine. The up
per circle stalls have been dispensed
with and walled up. and the family
circle has been materially improved.
The boxes are curtained with q rich
pattern OF silk g~oods-red. gold ard
black. The orchestra has been raised
at the rear end some sixteen inches,
and the musicians enclosure has been
depressed. The old laurel forest, the
tall backed chalrs-has been cut down
and dragged away, aud instead thereof
are rows Of stylish arm chairs, painted
white, with swinging seats and cush-
Ions Of red plush. 1t Is really a lux
ury to sit In one Of these chairs. An
other improvement Is the gain Of space
between the rows, whereby a lady eau
iss to her seat after the hour Of COM
nencement without brushing against
other people aud causing a general de-
rangement Of toilet. This will be
pleasant news to the ladies'. The CELL
Ing has been built Of wood and taste
fully ornamented. A rich cluster chan.
delier, with two hundred lights. Is sus-
pended from the dome, the walls have
been retInted, frcscoed aud embellished
with classical figures. and other taste
full ornamentation in detail, added.
The theatre Is lighted by electricity.
The act drop Is q view Of Yosemite,
with lofty falls, clouds Of foam. bright
flowers, and cool, green sod. The
California's new drop Is certainly n
becoming one.

FATAL RESULT.

The Salt Lake Herald Of September
27th says: Lyman Rainbow, from
Oakland, Gala so~n-in-law Of DR.. o.
P. warren-the gentleman who was
80 severely wounded by a rolling rock
on Emma Hill, died on Wednesday
night mt IL o'clock. Amputatlon Of
the Injured limb was performed, as the
patient WAS too weak, having lost a
great deal OF blood, for, being alone at
che time Of the accident, he lay for an
hour and a half before assistance came.
He arrived here In June, from San
Francisco, and was engaged In pros
pectlng. He saw the rock coming
down the hill and endeavored to avoid
IL, but was unable to do so. and hence
the fatal result. DR.. Nichols, an efi-
Client surgeon, was In attendance from
the time Of the discovery Of the accl-
dent and the citizens did everything
possible to alleviate the condition Of
the unfortunate man.

TRUckEE ITEMS.

From the Republican, September 2sth.l
A mar recently went to the bath
house in Truckee to get a thorough
securing. He had not taken a bath In
five years, and he had some hesitation
at first about undertaking what was la
his opinion q rather dangerous expert
mont. After using about six pounds
of soap and q few gallons Of lye he
rubbed Of the third shirt. He expected
to tind two. but the third alarmed HIN.
and lie concluded he wouldn't prospect
any deeper. The man still Hives, but
he Is. under medical treatment. His
shirts that we're washed OH he on
siders a dead loss. This story came
from Wells, Fargo's office in this
place.
Two families it Is said are still lv-
ing at Meadow Lake, and intend re-
naming there through the Winter.
Rents nc Meadow Lake are very low.
and yet the rents made In some Of the
large buildings by the snow and
weather arc said to DO very large.
Sulphuret rock Is still taken from the
Grant mine near the town and worked
ut the ~sulphuret works at Grass valley.
Both river and lake trout ara very
scarce In this market. These fish do
mol bite we'll at this season Of the year,
and the Indians are able to spear but
few. rs the trout hide In deep water,
aud are neither running up nor down
the streams. What few are caught are
excellent, but the supply will be short
until sometime In February or March
next.
At the saw mill Of Robinson d Mach
omich, on Alder creek, on Friday, d.
500 feet Of lumber WAS cut with n
circular saw In the short space Of five
hours. This Is at the rate Of $500 feet
an hour, and Is hard to beat.
A number Of the citizens Of Truckee
who have been down to see the Suite
Fair at Sacramento, have returned,
aud they all unite in ~pronouncing the
whole thing an imposition and 4 fraud
upon the public.

THE RICH EMPIRE STRIKE.

We saw at the banking house Of A.
Delano yesterday, says tho Grass Val.
ley Union OF Saturday, a splendid bar
OF melted gold Of the value Of $l2,-
6Is IS. This gold, in addition to 800
ounces Of amalgam, was taken from
the plates alone after one weeks
crushing. In addition to the above
there were to be seen OH the counter
of the bank specimens of rock. taken
from the mine yesterday, which wcr
as rich In gold as any we have ever
seen taken from a Grass Valley or any
other mine. As the above yield Of
gold has been exclusive OF the battery.
when that Is cleaned up there must Of
necessity be q large amount OF gold
taken therefrom. We are pleased to
note this favorable turn In the affairs
of the company, and still further
pleased to learn that the ledge In the
drift In which the rich strike was
made continues TO be two feet In thick
ness and to show a. rich specimens In
gold a. ever. E-

We all want to know how good
and strong men have made their
ways in the world. They were once
boys like you. What steps did they
take to become true menG An emil
nent merchant in New York, Mr..
Jonathan Sturgis, tells us a little Of
his experience, which I am glad to
hear about.
"One ofmy first lessons" said Mr..
lSturgis, "was in 1913, when 1 was
eleven years old. My grandfather
had a fine flock Of sheep, which were
carefully tended during the war of
that day. was the shepherd boy,
and my buseness was to watch the
sheep in the fields. A boy who was
more fond of his book than the sheep
was sent with me, but left the work
to me, while he lay under the trees
and read. 1 did not like that, and
finally went to my grandfather and
complained of it. Isha1 never for
get the kind smile Of the old gentle
man as he said:
| q" Never mind, Jonathan, nay boy;
| if you watch the sheep you will have
the Sheep"
"What does grandfather mean by
that2 1 said to myself. / don't ex-
lpect to have sheep. My desires
were moderate, and fine buck was
worth a thousand dollars. I could
not exactly make out in my mind
what it was, but 1 had great conf
dence in him, for he vas a Judge,
and had been to Congress in Wash
ington's time; so l concluded it was
all right, and 1 went back contented-
ly to the sheep. After I got into the
field, 1 could not keep his words out
ofmy head. Then thought of Sun
days lesson-'Thou hast been faith
full over few things. 1 will make
thee ruler over many things, began
to see through it. Never you mind
who neglects this duty; be you faith
full, and you will have your reward
81 received a second lesson soon
after came to this city as a clerk
to the late Lyman Reed. A mer-
chant from Ohio, who knew me,
came to buy goods, and said: Make
yourself so useful that they cannot
do without you Itook his meaning
quicker than I did that of my grand
father.
"Well, 1 worked upon these two
ideas until Mr.. Reed offered me a
partnership in the business. The
| first morning after the partnership,
was made known, Mr.. John Geery
the old tea-merchant, called to con
graduate me and he said: You
are az right now. l have only one
word of advice to give you-be care
full who you walk the streets with.
That was lesson number three"
And what valuable lessons they
are! "FidelIty in little things; do
your best for your employer; care
fulness about your associates" Let
every boy take these lessons home,
and study them well. They are the
foundation stones of character and
of honorable success.
