LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
The CODE OF HoNoI-On Sunday after
noon two well known citizens of Sacramento,
who had had their teuIpers smoothed the
wrong way at each other, repaired to East
Park with their seconds, in order to settle the
unpleasantness existing between them. The
weapons used were those which Nature had
provided, and at the place of meeting they
were joined by a large party who had taken
in breeze of the affair. One Of the principals
is manager of manufacturing establishment,
and his second a gentlemen who dispeuses an
article much used for decorating. The other
principal is noted worker in curios art, and
his second dispenser of the solids. The fight
lasted something less than an hour, and under
twenty rounds were fought The last-men-
toned principal was victorious, although the
second of the first named did all possible to
bring his man to the scratch for another
round, but without avail. After the engage
ment was over all parties returned to the city
well satisfied with the result, just as ii 1t had
been in Dixie Land and the mode of settle
ment was an very-day occurrence. Next.

child, accompanied by George Taylor with his
wife and child, were walking along the south
side of K street, between Seventh and
Eighth, late night before last, Mr.. Tranter
who was carrying his little one, stepped upon
grating or trap door in the walk, which i'm
mediatelv gave away and precipitated him
into the darkness below, where he struck
astride an old bench and upon rubbish, and
was very severely injured internally. When
he saw he was falling, to save the child he
threw it from his arms and its clothes caught
upon some nails underneath the walk and
held it suspended so that it received merely
slight injury. Mr. Tranter was taken out
with considerable difficulty and was yester-
day confined to his bed, and will probably
there remain for some tine to come. 1t is
understood to be the intention to ascertain if
any responsibility lies for the condition Of
