An Effort To Get Out Causes Grand
and Lofty Tumbling.

An Effort To Get Out Causes Grand
I'M Lofty Tumbling.
A party of hunters went to Cottonwood
Park Sunday. The hunting was grand, as
it always is in this country of magnificent
area, but there was devilish little game.
1t was nearly sunset, and the nimrods
hardly knowing where they were, they
had wandered off so far among strange
canyons, they started home, the horses
dancing over the prickly greasewood
shrubs and the wagon bouncing presume
bly, towards Eureka. Suddenly the ride
ended. The hunters found themselves on
the slope Of Q hill, shut off from further
progress by q semicircular gulch which
seemed impassable; but it was too late to
think OF going back, and there was moth
ing to do but to go ahead. Fred. German
being a good horseman took the reins.
"Look out" said he, 'I'm comm" 1t
was Luther Clark's wagon, and so high
did it loom up that If it had been decorated
it might have been taken for a car OF state.
Fred. looked like a small boy on top of it.
1t seemed as though nobody but q circus
man or a cat could fall off it to the ground
without breaking his neck. Frank Rob-
bins was off on one hill and guild u off
On another watching the performance.
Fred. socked on the brake and down came
the outfit. staggering like q man
full of Bodie whisky. The horses went
~foundering into tho gulch and the wagon
rolled down on them. There was a grand
mixture for a half minute Of horses, hsr-
ness, ssge-brush and wagon, with Fred.
bobbing around in the air above the mass
with the reins in his hands, but hardly
touching the drivers seat. Pretty soon
he was separated entirely from his base,
and from his lofty perch he went headlong
away down to the bottom of the gulch.
The near horse sent him a kick as be was
descending, which turned him about and
brought him to the ground IN his back-a
lucky kick. He fell towards the back part
Of the wagon. Had he fallen towards the
team and met the horses heel the chances
are he would have lost a rib or two. As it
was, he was not hurt either by the fall or
the kick. He got up this is Frank Rob-
bins version Of the story, rubbed his
ribs and cried out: "Ohi oh p but find
ing he was not hurt, he joined the rest Of
the party in unhitching the horses and
righting up the upset wagon. If anybody
thinks "Gimlet" didn't make those horses
climb out Of that gulch when he got the
reins in hand again, let him ask Frank
Robbins about it.

The Competltive DrIIl.

The Knights Templar competitive drill
for the handsome trophies made expressly
for the occasion by the Pacific Coast Com
manderies took place at the Bay District
Park Saturday afternoon. As the Pacific
Coast Communicates declined to enter the
lists against the visiting Knights, only
thu se coSamanderies competed for the
prizes. These were the Rapers Of Indian
apolis, the De Molays Of Louisville, and
the st. Demands OF Chicago. There were
three Judges, ell officers OF the United
States Army, and some $4,000 people were
present. The tactics comprised sword ex-
e~rcise. military evolutions and Templar
movements. The sympathies Of the audi
ence were with the st. Demands, but the
judges awarded the frst prize TO the Ken
tuokians, the second to the IndianiAns,
while the favorites had to take the third.
The champions chose the miners vase

Two miners from Ruby Hill were return
ing Sunday from a drive to Secret Canyon
in a light buggy without q brake. They
were descending a steep grade and were
afraid to 40 on down. They asked Marion
Farrell, who was driving ahead Of them,
how they might manage 1t. He told them
to s.rough-lock" one of the wheels. His
surprise can be imagined when, having got
to the bottom of the grade, he looked up
behind him and saw that the two men in
the buggy had "hobbled" their horses,
which struggled and plunged for amoment
when they fell. The men were thrown
out, the buggy was tipped over and the top
OF it smashed into splinters. This lie report
ed to us by reliable gentleman as a fact,
otherwise we could not believe 1t true.

In a Wagner sleeper,
Cincinnati Enquirer.


Very amusing incidents sometimes
happen In sleeping cars, owing 10 the
Ignorance Of untraveled people as to
utiiixing the limited facilities for disrob-
ing, etc. An occurrence Of this kind
took place on the Bee Line few days
since, which caused some CONSERVATION
among the ladies and considera-
BILE amusement to the male passen-
gers. A niee-looking old couple
were seated in one Of the sections
of the New York sleeper. and beyond
being little restless attracted no spe-
cial attention until after leaving the
Grand Central Station. Immediately
after the train pulled ont the old gentle
man stopped brakeman who happened
to be going through the train, aud told
him they wanted to go to bed. He was
referred to the colored autocrat siio
presides over that department and gives
an able imitation of q man blacking
boots. After some little talk the old
gent explained his wants, and the berth
was made up. He then wanted to
know where the dressing room was.
and the ladies' dressing room be-
ing pointed out, both he and
bis wife entered. Although this
was rather unusual proceeding, moth
ing was said about it, and as the train
leaves sbout o'clock in the evening,
and 1t was little too early to 20
to sleep, the balance Of the passcn-
gers distributed themselves around the
car and nothing more was thought
Of the old couple until slam
Of the door and snort Of laughter from
some innocent youth attracted the
the attention Of all the occupants
Of the car to grand triumphal
march executed by the old couple
from the dressing room TO their
berth. They had disrobed in
the ladies' dressing-room, and the
old lady had apparently nothing
on but her "robe de nuit" and night
cap, and the old gentleman brought up
the rear with his clothes and those be-
longing to his wife In his arms. being al
most completely hid in mass Of female
attire not generally exposed to public
gaze. 1t Is needless to say that the gen.
uine innocence Of the old couple In the
whole matter was so apparent that it
protected them from any rude comment.
but after they piped down II kept the
passengers In o smiling mood the balance
Of the trip.
