BETTING IN CALIFORNIA.

Californians have IN inherent, in-
ordinate desire for betting. 1t
amounts almost to mania. If they
are not disposed to fight We tiger, or
play poker, or bet their coin on any
game OF chance, they are sure to ex-
hibit their propensity for betting in
some way, and they will go their

Still Quarreiing About who Shall be Re-
Warded.

We stated some time since that Sher-
if Bardsley, of Ellis, Kansas, had be-
gun suit in the United States Circuit
Court against the Union Pacific Rail-
road Company to recover about So, 800;
that being the amount claimed by him
as his proportion of the reward offered
for the capture of the express robbers.
The Bee says that Lieut.. Allen and
eleven soldiers have also brought suit
for their share of the proportion, as
they assisted Bardsley in the capture
and killing of Collins and Heffridge,
and the recovery of $4,000 in gold, at
Buffalo station, on the Kansas Pacific.
They endeavored to effect a compro-
mise with Bardsley, but failing in this,
they have retained counsel to prosecute
their claims. The Union Pacific stands
neutral between the contestants, and is
ready to pay over the money as soon as
it is legally decided to whom it belongs
or how it shall be divided.

As will be seen by our dispatches this
morning the girl who runs away with
a coachman and brings disgrace upon
her wealthy parents, lives in Iowa.
This girl, undoubtedly like all her re-
nowned predecessors in this specially,
is handsome, intelligent, attractive, re-
fined, and a good many other things,
and she was desperately in love with
her aunt's coachman. She ran away
with him, which is the usual thing,
and her father ran after them, which is
also the usual thing, but he caught
them before they were married which
is altogether unusual and spoiled some
of the romance of the affair. The
coachman was taken in charge of by

From Tuesdays Laramie Sentinel
we CLEAN an account of the drowning
of Charming S. Dunbar on Monday af-
ternoon in Hutton Lakes:
He had started about 2 O'Clock in the
afternoon with n joyful party of friends
to drive out to the lakes for n hunt.
There were six or eight Of the party,
including Messrs. I%vinson, Rumsey,
Gramm, Miller, Grow, Hodgeman and
Mills. They had a boat, tent, ETC.,
and expected to stay over night.
They reached the lakes, spread their
tent, and made ready for the hunt. The
party scattered out over the country
and about the different lakes. Dunbar
and Grow launched the boat and put
out upon the lake. They had got but
a short distance from the shore when
some ducks flew up, and Dunbar dis
charged his gun at them. 1t seems he
was leaning over backward, and fired
almost straight up into the air. As he
fired he fell backward into the lake.
His fall propelled the light boat some
little distance away from him, and in
Mr.. Crows effort to bring it back so
as to reach him, m of the rowlocks
was lost. Grow tossed him one of the
oars, and told him to hold on to that
and keep cool and he would get to him
in q moment. Dunbar did place his
hand upon the oar, but did not speak
or appear to make any struggle or eff
fort to swim. He almost Immediately
sank, carrying the oar down with him,
but in n moment the a o to the
surface, but Dunbar was seen no more.

age. His relatives consist of a father
and mother, and two married sisters,
who live in Brockton, Massachusetts,
and his brother Clarence, who is in the
Black Hills. They have all been tele-
graphed to of the sad occurrence.

Death OF Ioh6 MorrisseY.

Telegraphic advices from Saratoga
this morning announce the death of
John Morrissey, the well known prize
fighter and sporting man, whose demise
has been hourly expected for several
days past. John Morrissey was born in
Templeinore, county of Tipperary, Ire
land, in 1920, and was brought to this
country by his parents, "Tim" and
peggy Morrissey, when but a mere
child. His first residence in America
was in New York city, but his people
500 removed to Troy. At this place
he learned the trade of a moulder.
When gold was discovered in Califor-
MIA he was one of the first to visit that
country, He was not a great success
as a miner, however, and he turned his
attention to gambling and other kin
dred pursuits. Entering the prize ring
he whipped George Thompson and John
G. Heenan, and got beautifully licked
by Yankee Sullivan. Heenan and
Morrissey fought in Canada eleven
rounds in twenty-five minutes, when
fortune favored Morrissey, and he pull
ed through a victor. Heenan broke
Morrissey's nose the first round. This
was his last appearance as a pugilist.
He was once a member in Congress
from New York City, and at the time
of his death was State Senator. Nor
rissey, for many years past, had been
the principal owner in the Saratoga
~race-course, which he has made the
leading course in the country.

The Ute Indians, headed by their

miners on their reservation in Colora-

liens of the town named for him:
"Ouray, chief of the Utes, sends
greeting to the generals, colonies and
captains of the city of Ouray: The Chief
of the Utes does not like the way he is
being treated at present. In a conven-
ton of the band of Utes, of which 1 am

more land to the whites at the present
time. As Chief of the band l wish to

TROUBLESOME rRAMPs.
How They are Taken In and Done for by
our Police.

-
Yesterday morning about daylight
officer Hall paid a visit to the eastern
part of the city on Sixteenth street, and
found in n of the vacant houses near
Lake Minnehaha about a dozen tramps.
The house was provided with a stove
and the tramps, by helping themselves
to the railroad company's coal, had
facilities for making everything warm
and pleasant for their weary bodies.
They improved, too, every advantage,
and when Hall put in his appearance
he found them all quietly sleeping the
sleep Of the innocent. He thought
there were o many for him to arrest
alone so he called at Mr.. l.. B. Spoor's
house, and these gentlemen together
made the arrest of eleven, the total
number of the party. They were march,
ed at once for the cooler where they
were provided with quarters.
The entire delegation was taken be-
fore Judge Slaughter and arraigned ON
the charge of vagrancy. Each one had
some trifling excuse to give to the court,
but of a nature too himsy to be enter
tanned and they were all held and adj
judged IS Migrants. They were fined
S25 each and ordered imprisoned in the
city prison for thirty days. These are
the first trials under the new city ordi-
nances which were passed and approx
ed last week. The city ordinances do
not give the police justice any authority
to suspend sentence and allow the
tramps to leave town. This power is
conferred upon the Mayor.
