What It Cost . Trial Juror 70 Give
q Fire Alarm.

About 10 o'clock last Saturday
evening q man put his head out of
one Of the windows of the District
courtroom, In Dayton, and yelled
"Fire! fire! firep The Sheriff,
Judge Seawell, and other citizens
rushed in, when it was ascertained
that the cry proceeded from one of
the trial jurors in the case OF Shaw
vs.. singerland, which had been on
trial that day, and in which no YER
dict had been rendered. The Judge
being unable to ascertain who had
made the cutlery, polled the jury,
and swore them. John Young,
William Rogan, and John Sullivan,
Of this city, were thus sworn, but
they were unable to state who tho
culprit was. Another juror was
about to be sworn, when william
Donnelly, of Sutro, rose and admit
ted that he had shouted "fire" for
fun. The jury had been locked up
since o'clock, and were unable to
agree. After several ballots had
been taken, some Of the jurors went
to sleep, others began to whistle or
sing, and others talked about the
case. Donnelly thought another bal
lot should be taken, and partly in
jest and partly to awaken the sleep.
ers, he had given an alarm Of fire.
Judge Seawell fined him $25, which
he paid. The jury were then locked
up again, and at midnight, being
still unable to agree, were dis.
charged.

X. A. Young, who lives on the
corner of Fourth and High streets,
in this city, has become a rancher on
. small scale. In three beds four
feet by ten, each, he has raised over
fifteen bushels of carrots, parsnips
and beets, besides variety of other
truck. Some of the beets are five
inches through, and his winter
squashes are already very large, two
of them weighing fully thirty pounds.
This is Mr.. Young's first year Of
gardening, and he is therefore greatly
pleased with his success. Next year
he will double the number of beds,
and thinks he will raise almost
enough vegetables to supply his fam
lily throughout the year.

Professor Bray's Practical Way Of
Defending His Character.

IIOAoSSOT Drhy>S frocClC0I NAY OF
Defending His Character.
For some time past rumors dis.
paraging to Professor Bray, princi-
pal Of the Dayton public school,
have been In circulation in Dayton.
Last Saturday Mr.. Bray traced the
rumors to their source. 1t seems
that the wife Of prominent citizen
Of Dayton had said that she had
been informed by Mr.. Folsom, the
hardware merchant of Gold Hill,
that Mr.. Bray was q libertine, and
that her daughter was not safe in
the school where he was. Mr.. Bray
thereupon rode up to Gold Hill with
q black. snake In his coat. sleeve, in.
tending to cowhide Mr.. Folsom.
That gentleman, however, denied
all knowledge Of the whole business,
and wrote out q statement, in effec,
that he had never said anything OF
the sort, and did not consider Mr.
Bray that kind OF q man. Mr.. Bray
thereupon returned to Dayton
called public meeting fol
last sunday evening, and, after ex
planning the whole business. intimat
ed that, if any number Of parents be-
lieved the charges against him ht
would resign at once. A discussion
followed during which District At
torney Powell embraced the oppor
tunity to express it as bis emphatic
opinion that Mr.. Bray was not thu
first efficient public officer who hai
been unjustly slandered, and reso
luton was adopted generating Mr.
Bray from all blame in the premises
These squabbles about school mat
tiers are of frequent occurrence il

Mr.. Bray is lucky in having received

Where to Eat In Virginia.

Tom Heffron possesses great ad-
vantage over all other restaurateurs
on the Comstock, in that all the vege-
tables required for his table are raised
by himself, on his ranch In Washoe
Valley. He is thus enabled to sup
ply his patrons with the very freshest
and best in that line. When, in ad-
dition to the above II 10 stated that
he is admittedly the best cook on the
Comstock, all is said about him that
need be. 1t Is therefore no wonder
that his eating stand at the Capitol is
always crowded.
