George H. Davis, Jr., just returned
from the Lake, reports the catching OF
q land-locked salmon up near Tahoe
City one day last week. The lucky
angler was young man from San

name. This is the second land-locked
salmon caught in Lake Bigler. About
two years ago Fish Commissioner Red

the land-locked salmon in the Lake,

pound and one-quarter. The spawn,
we had almost forgotten to mention, was
brought from the State of Maine.

"Director Burchard, of the Treasury

they are of no more value than any
other dollar" See? The joke is on
the Dundreary order, but then It's not
bad as jokes average these times. Some
people might suppose that a silver
dollar having eight tail feathers in the
eagle instead of seven might be of more
value than the regulation pattern stand

authority for the statement that it is
not. We effected short loan of Carson
dollar the other day-the owner firmly

lately seen one of these coins we give

ought to be stated that two cases pre-
sented themselves there. The bar
keeper, Lyman Frisbie, says from their
style of dress he thought the two men
might be Sir Samuel Baker and fellow
traveller. One of them called for glass
of bourbon, the other one calmly look
ing on while the tumbler was being
filed to about twO-thirds its capacity.
The pilot of the job put down battered
dime, while his friend reached for a
lumber from the counter, divided his
partners horn, and acting on the advice
of Sairy Camp to her friend Betsy, they
both " drank fair" Each wished the
other "good luck" and the barkeeper
said bad luck to both of you!" 1t

Seats can be secured without extra

they murdered him for kicking their
mother and threatening to shoot her.
They say their father forgave them and
begged forgiveness of them. He wanted
them to deny completely in the murder
and claim it was an assassin hired by
the national banks because of his de-
nunciatiOn of them. He urged that
suspicion be kept from his family, and
to make the defese sure he would make
an equal division of property. The
father was often cruel, Of desperate
temper and unreasonable. All these
facts have been concealed to preserve
the family name. The accused say

Fish stories are now in order, and

subject would disgust that monumental
distorter of truth, Ovid Bolts, the SOW
ereign of liars as pictured by the late
Judge Baldwin. When a man, fresh

his throat, and starts in on fish yarn:
it's safe to distrust him as you would Il

of fish stories seldom comes bearing a

mendacity) But all fish stories are not
necessarily lies, as per sample here fur

rated by several vcracious gentlemen
recently returned from the Lake. Our
young friend Jake A!Ienbach tells the
story, and his verbal indorseTs are with

trout, Monday last, at the wharf at
Yank's, with a small hook and line and
an ordinary fishing pole, and that trout
weighed, by good, honest weight, seven
pounds and three-quarters. It was
Job to land that fellow. Various esti-
mates are given as to the amount of
wharf and shore travel made by Mack
in landing the fish, aud the lowest is
placed at mile and three-quarters.
But Mack landed the trout in safety,
and is justly proud of his fishing exploit.
