Mr. Bray, who lives at Six Mile Canon, left
a cane at the town of Sutro, and asked friend
who was going to Sutro last Sunday to get

the cane In two. He then began punching the
snakes head to pieces with the spllntered end

brought to him, as he could put them togeth-
er. He took the two pieces and fitted them in

EARLY DAYS ON THE SLOPE.
How California Became Part Of the
United States Stirring Events of
Thirty Years Ago.
[san Francisco Examlner.l


At the Metropolitan Temple last even
ing a lecture was delivered by the Rev.
A. Williams on subject which must
always be interesting and instructive,
viz The acquisition OF California, in
1846, by the comparative handful OF the
land and naval forces Of the United
States, aided by the gallant settlers who
raised and fought under the celebrated
"Bear Flag" In the course Of his lee
ture Mr.. Williams said The first overt
step to obtain the territorial prize was
taken by President Jackson IN 1885. It
was a surprise to the Union wnen he
asked for commission to request from
Mexico the sale of that portion Of her
territory subsequently wrung from her
by conquest and by treaty. Inciden-
tai was the Wilkes expedition, by which
the harbors Of the coast were surveyed.
Another event was the hosting of the
American flag at Monterey by Commo-
dore Jones in 1912 under the belief that
war had been declared against Mexico.
Apology was made twenty-four hours
atterWard, when the error had been as
certained.
RThe memorable year OF 1916 arrived,
and the United States vessel Savannah,
Commodore Sloat, was at Honolulu.
There was also the British ship Of war
Collingwood. Sloat had premonition
of what was impending, but he kept
his counsel while maintaining the most
friendly relations with the British COM
mander. The American cruiser pro-
ceeded to Mazattan, and the Colling-
