TYLERs PEDRO BILL NEEDED.-There is
one McGregor who just now enjoys the dis
tinction of being wanted" for some little
indiscretions in the line of burglary both al
San Francisco and in this city. Day before
yesterday the police here were notified that
he was in hand at Rocklin. and Local Officer
| Coffee went up to bring him down. He had
to wait three or four hours for No. s, which
did not come this way until about II p. NJ
and parties from Rocklin tell the sequel in
this way: The time to wait being tedious,
Deputy Constable Steve Clough, who had
/ made the arrest. and the Sacramento officer
arranged and entered into game of pool

nav for the slack of thirst, while the prisoner
was allowed to play wall-hower in hand
cuffed condition, which it is said he did,
greatly to the peace and satisfaction of his
custodians, and kindly abstainin9 from inter
fering with the attraction to the little game
Now when the time came to take the smile,
they walked quietly up to the counter and
uuenched their fevered thirst without invit
ing the prisoner to participate, at which COO
treatment he took exceptions, and while the
officers were "smiling" and reviewing
detective exploits, their man asserted hi;
disapprobation of their treatment by getting
I'D unostehtatiously and walking out of tbs
room, unnoticed by any one. Upon leisurely
turning soon after to keep their eyes on theil
man, to their utter surprise he was gone, and
those two officers are said to have made the
night extremely lively in search, but without
avail, and the local returned open-handed

ii it is his man. which 10 doubt will prove t.
be the case, and he will have an opportunity
to give his own version of that little matter
up there that has got SO badly mixed up ant

STREET RAILWAY TO EAST PARK.-Th'
question of the H-street railway from Tween
tieth to Thirty-frst street is again brought
into consideration by proposition on th'
part of the Directors of the East Park Asso
citation to close the Park to the public, which
at a meeting held night before last, it re
solved to do unless the line of street railway
was relaid out to it. The railway company
cannot be compelled to relay it. as it con
tinued the road as long as required by agree
ment at the time it was built but would, it il
understood, be willing to rebuild and operate
it to the Park if it was permitted to abandon
the line on o street from Tenth to Third anC
thence to K street. The question of aban
donment may not finally hinge upon thi;
proposition, however, as it Is claimed the
operating of the O-street line west of Tenth
street involves a loss of about $4,000 per an
mum, while that of the upper portion of the
road-from Twentieth to Tenth, and thence
to K by way of Tenth street-win give q
De- he
seen that if the company continues to oper
ate both portions Of the O-street line it viii
sink, independent of the earnings of the III
street line, about $1,000 per year, and as s
financial proposition it can better afford t
abandon the whole O-street charter las legally
it would have to if il abandoned any of it
than to continue to run the entire length as i
does now.
A TooTHsoME ITEM.-Some one in Solant
county, who feared or forgot to sign his name
to his letter, sends the RECORD MON not
stating that on May 10Th male child wa
born in that county weighing sixteen pounds
having full set Of teeth, long hair, and on
black and one blue eye. The hair and off
colored eye can be swallowed, but when i
comes to the full set of teeth credulous pub
lie will be apt to wave its little finger signif
cantly from the tip of its collective nose ant
