LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
WHO WILL TAKE IT?-The Base
Range throws down the gauntlet to
the entire Pacific Coast for a billiard
match. Jacob Schaefer, the boy who
won the match game against l.. A.
Gates at Bigelow's Hall last Thursday
evening, issues his challenge in to-
days SENTINEL to any billiard player
on the coast for a match three-ball car
rom game OF 900 points, for from $4,000
to $1,000 a side, the game to be played
in Eureka, on one Of the tables now in
.2e at the Sazerac Saloon. The chal-
lenger Is but a boy in years and Is q
grasshopper sufferer from the prairies Of
Kansas, but he meaus business and Is
backed by parties who have plenty OF
sssoap," which, they are willing to
jsopardize on his skill in punching the
balls against such more noted billiard
lists as Deery, Kraker, and other pro-
fessional players, none OF whom are
s barred In the challenge.

our arrivals and departures it is by the

not know that Major Mccoy was out

trs.nely well-better, In fact, than we
