DANGEROUS CoURTING.-A man who gave
his name as Louis Steffanovich applied at the
Office of the Chief of Police yesterday for pro-
lection, and gave long account of his trials
and tribulations, showing that he is unques-
tionably off bis level He states that he be-
longs at Stockton, and that he and another
young man have been counting girl down
there, both applying the most artful methods
for success in the race for the heart and hand
of the fair, much-coveted and unanimously
desired damsel. His contestant in the race,
he states, has at last got desperate against
him, and offers $50, 900 to any person who
will assassinate Steffanovich. It was under
these extreme circumstances of peril that he
fed to this city, and anxiously sought the
protection of Chief Karcher, whose sympa-
thies were deeply touched by the recital of
his efforts for matrimony and its perilous re-
suits, and at once threw the protection de-
sired around him by placing him in secure
cell. The young men of Sacramento are in
an interrogatory state over the question
whether this is the usual manner in which
counting is conducted in the sister city of
Stockton.
