LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
A ROW AND A numpUs AND THE RESULT

was the scene OF much ACTIVITY laSG nlSHC. Al
o'clock a fight occurred in the place, which
drew large crowd. Two lively chaps got
into a wrangle with third party and pro-
ceeded to get him into a corner and punch
his head. A fourth man interfered as q
peacemaker, and the first two turned on him
and put windows over his eyes without
paint or putty so speedily that he was hall
blind in less than minute. Then chair
went sailing through the air and brought a
fifth man up all standing. Number three
searched fer his pistol and discovered that he
had left 1t at home. Meanwhile, in the
midst of cries and confusion, and while num-
Der three was hunting for club and number
five was asserting the bar tumblers to find
which could be thrown with deadliest effect,
numbers one and two broke through the
crowd and ran like deer up Third street and
disappeared in the darkness. The remainder
Of the party, aDgered at the escape, went
roaring about like the beast deprived of his
prey, and the peacemaker, who was least to
blame apparently, and was most severely
handled of all, was full of regrets that he had
not had the opportunity to finish up his part
OF the job. 1t was supposed that this
was the end of the row, and that it
would not even need newspaper notice, but
about quarter to s o'clock war broke out
afresh, and who were engaged in it,
or what it was all about, or whether
the " escapes returned to the charge, or
whatever the cause, is and will probably re-
main unknown. The second battle began in
the saloon and spread itself out to the side
walk and was fought out. As the belliserents
retired, however, some proclamation brought
on a renewal of hostilities, and this time the
crowd went out into the highway and made
newspaper row howl with the music of the
fray. A crowd collected, and the fight PROM
ised to infect all hands and become good
sized riot. when officers put in an appearance,
and as a result the police slate shows this rec.
ord of arrests: John Ryan, disturbing the
peace; John Sims. battery; Frank Morgan,
battery John Sims, battery; Frank Nor
gan, resisting an officer. The policemen who
took hand in quelling this local war were
Chief Karcher and officers Ferral, Coffee
and Nash. There were more engaged In the
battle than those arrested, but in the melee it
would be difficult to settle on who they were.
The first arrests made were those of Sims
and Ryan. On the way to the police station,
upon arriving at Second and j, Morgan, who
up to this time had failed to score any par
ticular notoriety in the affair, and was spoil
ing to do 80, sought to take Sims away from
officer Nash, who had him en- route to the
lock up. Nash blew his whistle for help,
which soon arrived and took Sims along. As
soon as they had gone Morgan asked Nash
if he was an officer, which was replied
to in the affirmative, and at the same
time showed his star Morgan then
pounced upon him, saying, I'm fix you, you
Cd d-n 81 of a b-h, and COM
menced a murderous attack upon him. Nash
blew his whistle at first, and Morgan, trying
to put stop to that, got his finger between
Nash's teeth, which the latter addressed him
self to holding instead of blowing his whistle,
but he managed also to call for help in
somewhat obstructed way. as there were too
much fingers about his mouth for good articu-
lation. He was heard, however, at Police
headquarters, and soon Chief K archer and
officers Ferral and Coffee ran to his aid and
found them in the alley. on the. west side of
Second street, between | and J, struggling
hard together in an intense fight for the
mastery. Morgan tried to resist the whole
of them, but after getting several additions
to his head which he will carry for some
time, be finally found himself planted in
durance vile, with his beer considerably
settled.

A FINE ExBIBIT.-There were exhibited
at this Office on Saturday by &. T. Bascom
several varieties of tomatoes grown by him
at Ninth aud y streets in this city. The
tomato aud its culture has been special study
with Mr.. Bascom for a number of years, and
he has succeeded in bringing that growth
very nearly. if not absolutely, to perfection.
One variety of the tomato grown by him is
known as Bascoms Sacramento Favorite,
and is the product of peculiar crossing by his
planting. Another variety is known as
a. the Triumph Both he has brought to
such high state that the result is a product
very much larger than usual, with str Jpger
protecting skius, more pulp matter and a
harder composition throughout, rendering
these tomatoes Of especial value for shipment,
and in addition the favor Is of very much
superior quality. From one vine in his field
he took the enormous yield of 233 pounds.
The question Is after this, in the tomato line,
q Who can beat Bascom?"
