BRIEF NOTES
DR.. Simmons received message from Blue
Canyon last evening, requesting him to come
to that point to attend the wife of conductor
Allen, who is lying very low there. The train
was held here some time for that purpose.
DIR. S. being unable to go owing to pressing
duties, another physician went up in his
stead.
The river has now fallen sufficiently so that
a sand bar was visible about three quarters
the way across the river towards the Yolo
side yesterday, the first to make its appear
ance this season, and the water marked 10
feet inches last evening.
John FL. Parnell, of the County Clerks
Office, is quite i'll.
Six car loads of steel rails were sent to Ari-
IONA yesterday
WATCH AGENcY-Ye sterday in the Police
Court John Brooks, arrested for embezzle-
ment of the proceeds of watch, was in the
prisoners corner. The watch was given him
by gentleman to pawn for him or sell to
raise some money, and as he said he only got
SIS for it the owner refused to accept that
amount, and directed that he return the
! K.
bring back either money or watch, and hence
the arrest. The Judge asked Brooks what
be did with the watch, and he said he sold it.
"Who to asked the Judge, half doubling
his statement. "To that man there" he
replied, pointing to another prisoner.
And sure enough it so happened that man
by the name of Reynolds to whom he had
sold it, was also before the Judge, arrested
upon another charge. The Judge then asked
1 Dn,-,, 1ln no., L. ILL., L
bought the watch of Brooks and gave him
So 90 for it, and that Brooks never came
back for the watch afterwards. Brooks story
| as to his having sold the watch was corrob-
Grated by Reynolds, but it also appeared that
he had at first kept back four bits as his COM
mission. and reported to the owner that the
sale was for that much less, and afterwards
concluded he would keep the whole of it.
This was too heavy commission and resulted
in wrecking his agency.

and took the basket with him, but in doing
| so turned it nearly bottom side up, and the
meat rolled out without his notice, and he
carried the empty basket into the house. No
sooner had he done so than hungry cur from
the neighborhood caught up the steak and
dined upsn it in an adjacent shade. The
faithful carrier was at first suspected Of bad
conduct, but an officer who saw the transac

acter, and the insatiate cur who stole the
meat has kept watchful eye ever since for
