The Independents.

The f1remen met at the store of
Aaron Smith last night and perfected
their independent organization under
the above name. A committee of
three, consisting of Messrs. Rowan,
Dotter and Loeb, will canvass the
city to-day for subscriptions from our
property to purchase a steam
fire engine to be operated by the COM
pany as formed. The Independents
propose to furnish house and horses at
their own expense and call upon our
citizens to do their share in furnishing
a first class engine. This certainly
looks like business and we trust that
the new fire company will meet with
a hearty response to their liberal pro-
position.

The limited experience thus far had
with that portion of the Code which
requires the closing of liquor saloons
on election days, tends to the convic-
ton that the purpose Of the law will
not be attained. Santa Barbara held
a town election the other day and al
though the saloons were all closed and
liquor could not be had for love or
money yet more than the usual num-
Der of men were unduly excited. Per-
haps, however, it was only the enthu-
siasm which every American citizen
feels on election day.

of pistols were heard. An officer broke
open the door and found Caldwell in
bed dead, shot through the head, and
Maxey on the floor, shot through the
side and MORALLY wounded. He was
able to speak, and said Caldwell had
shot him and then shot himself, but as
the pistol was near him it is believed
he first shot Caldwell and then shot
himself. Maxey was still alive a few
minutes ago. He had been employed
in hat store on Montgomery street
near Pine, and Caldwell was con-

was the cause of the terrible affair.

TIE disastrous descent of the great
French balloon which sailed heaven
ward from Woodward's Gardens last
Saturday afternoon affords another
moiety of evidence that science, pluck
and whiskey, cannot make ballooning
as safe as walking. The great globe
collapsed and came down by the run.
All of the five or six passengers were
badly frightened and one man had his
leg broken. The two lady passengers
say they prefer blowing up, climbing
a tree, or any means of going up, to
that offered by balloon.

BUTTE county has obtained permits

sent of the Governor to relocate her
county seat at any point upon which
two-thirds of her voting population
may agree. 1t is just possible that
the facilities for removing county
seats, like those for obtaining divorce,
are little too easy. In both cases
there is considerable amount of ex-
pense entailed on some one, and too
often one side is made happy at the
