A FARO GAME CAPTURED.
a few days since officer Dolan became
aware that faro game was being conducted
in place known as the Ivy Green" OF
Civil Rights Saloon" on the west side of
Third street, between K and L. owned by
Jesse Slaughter, Jr. and Aleck Harris. In
structions had been given by Chief Stevens
to raid any place where gaming was allowed,
and accordingly he began to keep a
watchful eye over the crowd that met
there, but on going into the place
once or twice, found nothing wrong.
Last night, however, he determined on
another attempt, and meeting local officer
Eldred near by, secured his assistance The
two then went near the door, and while in
vestigating the place fortune favored them
in the way OF fire alarm that caused most
Of the crowd about the bar to rush out upon
the walk. Hastily realizing their opportu-
nifty, the officers dashed through to the back
room, where they found faro game in
full progress, with three or four per-
sons participating. The dealer, Charles
Macll, young man recently from
Oakland, was dealing, and Frank or "Divvy"
Bragg, young hoodlum, was keeping the
cases. These two were arrested, and the wit
neSses were identified and given notice to
appear. The lay out, consisting Of cases,
cards, and about 400 ivory checks, were cap
tured. Eleven dollars in silver was found in
the drawer, and $40 in the pockets of the
dealer. The dealer claims that he was not a
hired operator; that the money was his own,
and he had few minutes before began the
game as banker on a capital of $50, without
knowing to whom the "lay out " belonged
In conversation with the reporter he freely
admitted his guilt, and said that they had
watchers out to prevent being surprised by
the police. There can be no doubt of his
conviction of the offense.

PRoPHEsYING DANGER.-At shooting gall
lery on J street yesterday number of China
men were trying their skill at target practice,
and one of them succeeded in making three
successive bulIs-eyes, causing an automatic
figure of George Washington to rise from
pasteboard sepulchre to fire cannon at the
invaders of California. A gentleman stand
ing near by spoke to a rough-looking fe'l low OF
the tramp genus, who was watching the per-
Torrance with scorn, and said That is fine
shooting for a Chinaman" " Yes, i" replied
the Chinese-hater and they're better than
that rascal who is bringing certain ruin
and destruction upon this here glorious Amer
can people by teaching them how to shoot
and murther us Having delivered such an
alarming hint of some future bloody exter-
mination, he hurried away muttering impre-
cations against the country for allowing Chi
naInen to be taught to shoot.
New LoDGE-The initiation and installa-
ton of the officers and charter members Of

Sunday at Odd Fellows Hall. 1t is the first
Lodge of that Order established in Sacra-
mento. It's objects are of purely beneficial
character, securing to the widow of de-
ceased brother an endowment of $1,000, and
a weekly stipend in case of sickness. The

CRY Politics. The political pot is be-
ginning to boil for the city election. It seems
to be generally conceded that for Second
Trustee Jerome C. Davis viii get the regu-
lar Republican nomination, VIM. Minis the
regular Democratic nomination, and that w.
F. Knox, present incumbent, will run indie
pendent. In that event the belief is quite
generally entertained that MIR. Knox will be
successful. 1t is a fact not to be denied,
that there is very much dissatisfaction among
members of the Republican party in the city
over the probable nomination OF Mr.. Davis.
ffFplara oh
reporters in Sacramento to get up as good a
local paper as the Vallejo Chronicle if they
combined their energies upon it. Fl Vallejo
Chronicle. Combined their energies is
good. When they have to adopt the model
Suggested, it will be time for the whole lot to
90 off somewhere and die. If that Vallejo
'soozer" keeps on at this rate twill prove
fortunate for the country that the Napa
ASYLUM is so near to Vallejo.
