An Indian named Juan Jose shot a

! Chinaman named Chum Lung,
wounding him in the leg, on Sunday
night in the wash-house on Main
street nearly opposite the Backman
House. When arrested the shooter
said to officer Thomas who made the
arrest that he had no proof, that no
pistol could be found on him. Mayor
Beaudry committed the assassin to
await the action of the Grand Jury.
Messrs. Caystile and Stamps have
returned from their mountain hunt,
laden with spoils. They would have
had one bear more, but they got to
camp so far in advance Of him that he
must have strayed away. Their great
| exertions In trying to get him to
camp prevented them from hunting
| him up when he failed to put in his ap-
pearance. Otherwise the hunt was u
success. l~-ffttf ss-hka
Who is DIR. Moses of the California
Institute? We observed on Sunday
number of posters, headed with that
name stnck over the desk Of our real
estate friend, Moses, at the st. Char
les Hotel. DR.. Moses speciality is to
cure stammering and, II 1t is our Mo-
ses we congratulate him on his new
profession, Moses is just the man to
lead up the stammerers from their
tongue-tied bondage.
Inadvertently we did an injustice to
Jacob Behn, in Sundays issue, by
chasing him with the hoodlums who
set fire to the grass near the cemetery.
1t was his misfortune to he. passing in
that neighborhood at the time, and in
the excitement he was arrested, though
not In company with the crowd. He
naturally objects to being charged
with such vandalism, and, from all
accounts, is an excellent boy. We re-
gret that he was arrested by mistake,
and that we were misled by that fact
to publish his name with the guilty
ones. .ia l5gss iod3 i4H ssni
We see that our friend "Chips'' had
little episode with the two lunatics
whom he took up to San Francisco.
At the metropolis he turned his men
over to the Deputy Sheriff, who start
ed over the bay in the boat with the
crazy men, bound for Stockton. but
before starting took the precaution to
get drunk. The lunatics were found
come, hours afterwards, hand-cuffed
together, seeing the sights In Oakland.
It Is pity the lunatics had not deliv-
cred the Deputy Sheriff at Stockton
for committal, until he was cured of
his Insane drunkenness.
The concert at the Fort Street Meth
odist church On Sunday night was
largely attended. The church was
crowded. to its utmost capacity, and
the audience expressed their satisfac.
ton with the exercises by frequent
applause. The children's singing was
J of a high order, while the readings and
declamations were of literary merit.
DR.. Lucky, being invited, addressed
| the audience, taking advanced ground
on the Sunday School question. Alto.
| gether the, concert was an immense
success, and we hope to see more Of
them. n Ai41% AS
Mr.. Elmer w. Holmes, late of the
HERALD job department, has been
heard from. He has bought nice
little farm at Riverside, and has
turned Cincinnatus. He writes us
that he has five acres plowed and irri-
gated and partially planted, He is
about putting out 1900 lime and orange
trees, 500 strawberry plants, and the
usual complement of roses and grapes.
The climate he reports very salubri-
GUS and his health improving. He Is
evidently determined never to test
again the rigor of an Arctic Massa-
chusetts winter, and he Is sensible in
that. FaUsT aa4
