DEUS rnE BOLD WARRIOR.
n, h.,o,, v..,erd.y, a. Sacramento.

Day before yesterday. at Sacramento
Denis Ksarney. the bold chieisain OF tho

lion in his den and make himself heard
and felt Is 1t were. The Legislature
vss In session. and in the course OF q
heated debate on taxation and revenue 1t
was deemed advisable to exclude the
lobby from the floor Of the Assembly.
Ksarnsy being present thought this .
blow directed at him. and after the ad-
iournmsnt hs walked up to Assembly,
man Adams. from Sonoma. who was
sitting ct his dssk arranging his papers.
and the following interview and episode
took place:
adams, I thank you for voting TO put
me OF the door Of this House." Adams
thinking that Kearney was speaking In q
jocular mood replied. "Ksarney. tho reso-
luton did not apply to you particularly
Il was general and included everybody"
"well. I'll remember this for you.
Adams" answered Kearney. "And II you
svsr como up for office. I'll do all l can to
defeat you"
"Th.. is your privilege. sir" replied
Adams"
"And. Adams" continued the agitator,
"n long Is God spares me, I'll follow you,
and III do you Al injury Of the deepest
dye"
Adams did not wait to hear any more
but with the exclamation : 49,
vhslpT" he sprang for the bold "agi-
tator." But the brave warrior was too
quick for him and lodged away among
the crowd. his nimbls legs doing him as
lively service n they did at Santa Ana.
1t wa lucky for Kearnsy that he escaped
the vsngsful clutch OF the wrathiul
Adams. for that gentleman had the abil-
ity and will just then to swsb the floor
with him. Ksarusy has the bravsst.
most courageous heart and will imasin-
able. but those cowardly legs have always
u away with him and always will on
such occasions.
