Judge Rogers, Of Chicago has decided
novel and interesting point connected with
the rendition of fugitives from justice. In
the case before the court, person named
Carroll was arrested some time ago on 4
requisition from the Governorof Nebraska.
The Governor of Illinois issued his warrant
for the delivery of Carroll to officers repre-
senting, or claiming to represent, the
State Of Nebraska, and thereupon the ac-
cused sued out writ of habeas corpus.
Pending the hearing of the writ, the Gov
ernor of Illinois revoked his warrant, for
reasons which do not appear. The ques-
ton was raised. thereupon, whether such
a warrant, once issued could be revoked.
Alter full consideration the Judge express
ed the belief that the Governor could le-
gally exercise his discretion so long as the
alleged Give remained In Chicago, and
that, the Governors decision being fnal,
the prisoner must be set at liberty, there
being no lawful warrant for his detention

A BeeHSteak Duel.

The Paris papers are telling story of a
beefsteak duel-of course it is an English
man who is the challenger, and the
Frenchman is induced to go through the
ordeal by the Englishman's temptation of
the offer Of points-that is, he undertakes
to eat ten steaks, and then start fair. Eat
ing begins for goo a side. and, as usual,
MIR. Frenchman leads off so voraciously
that he is done up at the eighth beefsteak,
but the Engl,shman goes on to the twenty
second. and only stops when, on calling
for more, he is told that he has swallowed
III in the house, and he must wait until
another bullock is killed for him. In Or
der to show the substantial character Of
the gorge, it is carefully stated that The
steaks weigh half q pound each

COOn-HuntlDG.

The Chico Record tells the following:
Jim Woodbun. of Sacramento is hunter;
that is. he thinks he's hunter, which is
much the same thing. Night before last
Jim was at MELVILLE, and hearing that
the neighborhood abounded in coons he
made up his mind to have a coon hunt.
The boys" agreed to have hunt. So
they procured half-starved dog. and get
ting a piece of meat, they fixed it in the
branches of a tree across the creek, and
everything was ready for the hunt. y"
After dark the party assembled at the
hotel. where Jim joined them. and off
they started, all promising jim "a good
nights sport. One of the party took the
dog to the tree where he set up howl
that vibrated through the little patch of
oaks, and echoed far into the night air,
causing Jim to fairly dance with delight.
They made due haste to the scrub oak,
near which on his launches, 81: the dog,
looking wistfully into the tree. Jim ex-
ecuted double shuttle, while he cuntem-
plated the glorious story he could tell the
Sacramento hunters when he returned
home. A council Of war was held, and
Jim was the man selected to watch the
tree all night, to make sure that the coon
did not get away. All through the long
dreary hours of night Jim and the dog
watched that tree, and at daybreak, when
the boys, who had all good night s sleep,
crossed the creek, they found Woodburn
with kink in his neck and almost frozen
stiff. He was eagerly scanning the upper
branches when the crowd came along, but
no coon appeared to the expectant man.
They asked him all sorts of questions, but
ali he knew was that the coon hadn't
come down that tree. When they began
to talk about ''snipe" that Sacramento
man wilted, and when the dog was given
the meat hanging in the tree Jim Wood
burn could have been bought for short
bit.
