The Sportsman in California.

On Sunday night last an immense
grizzly bear made raid on the apia-
ries in Cucamonga Canon, and DESTROY
ed number of stands of bees. Col
Hawai- armed himself with Winches-
ter repeating rifle, and accompanied by
Artemus Rauch, III. Otto, an Indian,
and two dogs, lay in wait for bruin. The
bear made his appearance, when it was
warmly received py Col. Hawai-, a we'll
directed shot from whose repeater
brought him to the ground. The car
cass, when dressed, weighed l 200 lbs.
Few places can offer so many attrac-
tiOns to the sportsman as Reno. The
gun need never rest in idleness here for
want of game. There is good shooting
and fishing about Reno the year round
The mountain streams are swarming
with gamey trout. The Truckee river,
flowing through the town is famous for
its fine fish. Trout are not now hume
rous in the Truckee, nor are they easily
caught; but their size makes up for
their comparative scarcity. But Myr-
lad Lake abounds with them, big fell
lows, that double up the rod and make
the anglers reel hum with the music
be likes best to hear. The lake fisher
men call a five pound trout a small
fish. They catch, sometimes, trout
weighing as high as seventeen pounds.
A keen angler, with a fine fly rod j,
would enjoy tying up" to such fish all
summer, if he could spare the time
AS for shooting, one can find game any
day within an hours walk from town.
Rabbits and quail are often noticed
within the town limits. The snipe
shooting will commence August 1.
Truckee meadows is their favorite re-
sort. A gunner can make a good bag
of, English snipe in the meadows, only
few miles from Reno. Thirty snipe
In day is not an uncommon bag on
the Truckee meadows. the Jack snipe
is a very hard bird to shoot, flying in a
zig gag line that battles the novice with
gun. 1t is this eccentricity Of flight
and the solitary habits of the bird, that
make snipe shooting the finest kind of
sport to many gunners. In the fall
come the ducks and geese, to remain
all winter. Their morning and evening
flights over the Truckee meadows afford
the best of sport to the gunner. The
citizen of Reno can shoulder bis gun at
daybreak, walk to the meadows, shoot
a backload of ducks, and return in time
| for breakfast Brant and swan are oft
en- shot during the winter. Curlew are
numerous in the fall. Sage hens and
quail afford fine sport in their season.
Flocks of quail are frequently seen
within two miles of town. Jack rabbits
and cotton-tails are numerous and al
ways with us. In the mountains the
great black or mountain grouse is
found-a magnificent game bird, that
tries the gunner's utmost skill. These
birds are larger than the domestic fowl,
and make a royal dish for the table.
Large game can be hunted in the noun
tains. Deer are sufficiently numerous
to furnish good hunting. One day last
winter deer was chased by q locomo-
tive on the V. and T. road aud captured
by the engineer. Wildcats and lynx
are sometimes found within few miles
of town. There is good dove shooting
all summer long, and the birds may be
found almost at the door.-lSan Francis

SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL, who has re-
Gently travelled through the United
States and has written book of obser

found in the cities and towns prevail
ent disposition to prefer high profits and
lavish expenditures to moderate sains
and careful expenditure; and he re-
garded this feeling as the bane of the
country. The cry is always for great
profits and high wages: but economy

A ROCHESTER man has wonderful
memory of musical sounds. His speci-
atty is railroad locomotive bells. The
sound of locomotive bell once heard
he distinctly remembers for any length
of time and, as each locomotive has a
number, he can tell that number when
he hears the bell fung. There are more
than five hundred locomotives running
on the New York Central railroad, and
of these he has been able to give the
numbers accurately by the sound of
their bells.

Mary Kennedy Steals March on MIR.
Capehart and Makes q Sunday Jour-
ney. '- .
Considered from Pickwickian stand
point the apparently interminable suit of
point where the Developments bid fair to be
interesting. The anti-climax took place on
yesterday and the thrilling drama was wit
messed by several hundred spectators who
ohampioned their respective principals with
an ardor worthy to be manifested by the
parties to the action themselves.
The reading public has long since become
familiariZed with the details of the case, but
for the benefit of those whose memory does
not serve them, the history of the suit may
be summarized as follows:
About three years since action was COM
menced by A. H. Capehart against widow
lady named Mary Kennedy, who owned and
conducted boarding house on ground
leased from the plaintiff, situated on Sixth
street between Minnesota and Robert streets.
The action was brought for overdue
ground rent, and according to the corstruc-
ton of the terms of the case plaintiff de-
manded that the promises revert to him and
that defendant be removed therefrom by q
writ of ejectment. The case has been tried
and decided adversely to the plaintiff, who
has persistently appealed, one of the most
recent developments being an order from
the sheriff for defendant to turn over the
premises by virtue of q writ of ejectment.
The latest phase in this most interesting
case transpired yesterday morning, when the
neighborhood of Sixth and Robert streets
was the scene Of unusual turmoil, produc-
tive of an exchange of deluge of hot and
angry words. Pursuant to the order to
leave, as served by the sheriff, Mrs. Kennedy
decided to get out and take the house with
her, and with this object in view a force of
mon were employed to remove the house,
commencing work three hours before sun
rise yesterday morning. The plaintiff was
early Informed of what was going on, and
he dawned on the scene ready for rebellion.
TIE men were ordered to desist, but from
the vigorous manner in which tho work
went forward they evidently didn't view it
from that standpoint. Chief Strong was
summoned, who read the 'riot'' act or fire
ordinance, which was received by tho large
crowd of spectators with tremendous shout.
A sheriffs posse and several policemen
sought to awe the workmen with their pres
ence, but the work went forward with ro-
doubled energy. The day being Sunday no
legal recourse could be had and the house
was finally landed upon lot owned by a
Mr.. Mcdonald, who was highly incensed
at the unwarranted liberty taken. Mayor
Dawson was seen, and he will instruct the
city attorney to take action this morning to
enforce the ordinance which prohibits the
removal of q frame building within the fire
limits

Confined in Jail -Four Months When Not
Guilty.
To the Editor IF the Globe.
Having been confined within the walls of
Ramsey county Jail for over four months, I
desire to state to the public that, notwith
standing the results of the writs of habeas
corpus, which have availed myself of to no.
purpose, satisfactory to me, by reason of
technicalities of the law. I have been ad.
judged "not guilty. by the grand Jury who
investigated my case in all its phases, o.
tober 3rd, and returned verdict of ono
bill.''
1 would, therefore, ask of the public to
suspend any opinion which they NAV have
formed derogatory to myself, and permit the
future to speak of me according to my real
wsrth.
I have been confined in the jail during
the beautiful summer months, prohibited
from gazing upon the scenes of summer, by
reason of the stern and heartless law, and
would respectfully ask that public opinion,
ere 1t oensures me, would consider that
claim am not guilty, and have been so ad-
judged by "high tribunal.'' Therefore thew
should not censure me for my imprisonment.
In justice to Mr.. James King, sheriff of
Ramsey county, beg permission to state
that he treats all his prisoners as we'll
as they can expect, in fact better than
any other sheriff whom have ever known,
lit having been my business in 1870 to at
tend the sick of Essex county, Mass, house
OF correction, where I made the acquain-
lance of several sherifs, whom I afterwards
visited in the exercise of their respective d u
ties.)
feel indeed very grateful to James King
tor his kind treatment of the prisoners, and
the county has reason to congratulate itself
upon being possessed of SO good and kind
hearted sheriff. May they ever have as
good q man, is the wish of
