=. The audience appeared to be surprised at
Sexton's repeated f0illlre to COUNT but after
several wild shots he at lost came into form
and commenced his terrible work at nursing.
Getting the balls together at the side rail, he,
with delicacy that was truly astonishing,
carried them gently down to the corner,
around the head Of the table. and then back on
the other side, running up 1873 points. 1t was
not long before he again got the In position,
and he never left them until he had added
another run Of 1870 tto. his string. From the
time he took the lead from Rudolph tho lat

ing some very handsome round the table play.
His boldness and daring were admirable
In the thirtieth inning Sexton brought the
balls into his favorite position and ran the

credit for their skill. Tonight Messrs. Dion

took their places at the table and scored for

Sexton seemed to be suffering from a severe
cold, and it was some time before he showed
any billiards in his play. Rudolph, ON the

FOR Hi bD6 SDiubS 30 uTIRntly|
In a radius of three or four degrees around
her shone a bright halo encircling and giving
additional llIstre to her sympathetic orb. All
this we have seen before, and so have many
others, and though these beauties Of nature
are undying, yet we would not speak about
them for fear Of repetition If another phe-
nomenon, unusual, had not come in to make
the picture perfect. From the east and from
the west, in opposite directions we'll marked,
long streaks Of light, resembling the aurora
borealis, diverged from the horizon, and ira
versing the circle of light that surrounded the
moOn blended together and were lost in the
radiant circle. All the rays were well defined
and Whitley shining like the pearly streak
which marks the milky way in clear
atmosphere. 1t was q beautiful sight, which
is rarely to be seen. Both horizons,
the Orient and Occident casting rays Of light
in the clear sky which met married and dis
solved as they came in contact with the Inn
mediate rays of the moon. We viewed the
spectacle only as an observer and thought that
it was one of the most quietly magnificent
sights that we had ever witnessed. Anxious
to obtain the reason and cause of this spIen-
did heavenly display, we interviewed Prof
Parker, whose perpendicular telescope, at the
corner OF st. Charles and Canal was at the
time casting inquisitive gIances at the earth's
satellite and he said the phenomenon was
caused by two currents of air, one cold and
one warm, running under each other from op-
posite directions; one from the east westward,
the other from the west eastward We declared
ourselves satisfied with the explanation

that the shoot would be an exciting one, sew

belonging to Mrs. Sarah Thacker, stu.
ated some distance back of the Central
Hotel, was on fire. He gave the alarm,
the tire bell Was rung and the Hose
Company started to the scene OF the
fire. The honss was a box building
lined With cloth, and partially filled
with sage brush. and. as the fire was
blazing lively when discovered, the
whole building was enveloped ia flames
in few minutes and burned to the
ground before water was turned on.
As the building was unoccupied on
Saturday night. the fire is supposed to
have been set by an inceudiary.

TOM LAwTON.
The Murderer OF TuIifs Last Seem
an Paradise Valley.

Ah E@Fauhso valley.
The Sacramento Bee has the follow.
ing relative to Tom Lawton:
There arrived from the State of
Nevada this morning gentleman
named =. j. Nc Worthy, a cattle dealer,
who came in advance of several Car
loads of beef cattle belonging to him
aud others, to make arrangements for
their transportation TO San Francisco.
After transacting his business he at
once repaired to the Sheriff's office and
told the officers the following story.
which is the most plausible one yet re-
ceived as to Ltwton's whereabouts:
The business. OF Mr.. McWorthy called
him two weeks since to the State of
Nevada. While there he visited Para
disc Valley. to purchase cattle, arriving
there on Thursday. August %. While
he was in the camp where the cattle
men make their headquarters, on the
I'D, young man. "a stranger ia that
section, rode up and after dismounting
and engaging 10 conversation with the
vaqueros for some tune, the stranger
called one of them aside, took out q
watch and asked for the loan of a GER
tain sun Of money on it, about $50.
The vaqnero Was short of the required
amount. and had only $3i or there
aoouts, which he agreed to give the
young stranger. whom he told be would
pay the balance next day if he called
around. The bargain was struck,
the stranger took tho coin aud
promised to- call around next day
for the balance. after which he
remained about the camp for some
time, conversiog With McWorthy and
others. Daring the conversation Nc
Worthy elected sufficient from the
stranger to lead him to believe it was
Tom Lawton, who was wanted for the
murder of A NJ Tullis, and put a
number of questions to him In regard
30 the matter. the answers to which led
him to believe more strongly than ever
that it was LAYTON. Believing that he
could easily capture him the next day,
when he came back for the balance due
him on the watch. New orthy allowed
the stranger to depart. after which be
laid his plans for the capture OF the
stranger. Pne latter seemed to have
taken alarm. however, at the questions
asked him by Worthy and did not
return the next day. McWorthy q
business called him away from Para
disc Valley to this city aud on arriving
here to-day he called on the Sheriff.
