A SMELL.-Our nasal organ is perhaps a
little over the medium length, and of sufic-
lent capacity to take in as much of the delic-
ious odor of the fragrant rose as anybody's
nose; but we object to inhaling odors which
do not harmonise with our peculiar ideas of
fragrance. Last evening whilst traversing
the city, our olfactories ran afoul of an OdOr,
compared to which blown up sulphur mill,
elephants breath, decaying mackrel or
mephitic gases exhaling from defective
drain are of the most pleasant character. We
organized ourself into committee of one to
ferret out the source of the plutonic odor, and
without laborious investigation found that a
biped (sex unknown), who hadn't the comfort
of his or her fellow beings much at heart, had
created a bon fire composed of dead leaves, in
the middle of the street. Now if there is one
thing that creates more uncomfortable stencil
than anothes, it is fire made of dead leaves.
This sort of nuisance ought to be abated 1t
is obnoxious if not sckening to pedestrians to
inhae the edor arising from such fires. Those
leaves are good fertilizers and could be used
for enriching the soil in the beautiful gardens
of our city.
BELLIGERENT SHINERs. Yesterday after
noon two bootblacks, of recent importa
ton, were playing crack-loo with
quarters, on the platform of the railway
depot The game moved along very pleas
antly until one of the "shiners" accused the
other of cheating. This inputation was too
much for the wounded honor of the accused
one and he, not having the fear of ''peelers"
before his eyes, planted blow upon the pro-
boscis of the accuser which must have m ade
him see all the fixed planets. They clinched
and fell to the ground. They thumped each
other in very unprofessional manner while |
in that position until separated by some look
ers-on. The accuser got the worst of the en-
counter, and when he arose from his I'M
comfortable position, being the under dog in
The fight, he said to the other sinner,
Jimmy, I'll solve the bloody partnership
With you now. I'll steal to Reno to- night,
but don't yer foller me.
ARRESTED FOR INCEST. Aurora, Eugene
Roscoe and Ethel Roscoe, uncle and niece,
we're brought to trial yesterday for the crime
If incest. The man and woman have been
or number of years past living in the same
house in Adobe Meadows, the man running a
ranch in connection with his brother, who
lived in the same house with him. Roscoe is

ak in the neighborhood in which they lived
hat Roscoe and his niece were living together

is niece. About the first of this month {
Roscoe and his niece started together for
