The Strange Mistake He Made

It 10 very seldom that the Hon.

sport of wrestling with the sportive
and speckled game of the river, and
looks upon anglers as but small
remove from the Eastern dude.
Recently, however. be became in

| Mexican dam, promulgated by the
Hon. William WOODBURY., and pur-
chasing q ten dollar outfit from
Cagwin & Noteware, started out on
&. fishing trip. His wife, ever
mindful of his comforts, put up a
lunch for the fisherman. and he de-
terlnined to carry it in q lard pail.
He jammed the boiled ham. roast
chicken, pickles, etc., into the lard
pail. set it on the patry shelf and
went to arrange his flies. Then he
sent in his boy with instructions to
bring ont the pail on the second
shelf. The youth grabbed the first
pail he saw, which happened to be
full of lard. and left the lunch
pail on the shelf. In q few hours
Mr.. Wright hooked q thres-quarter
pound trout. aud as he grappled
with the 6sh the spsctac'e Of ;
strong man braesd for the fray
with every muscle OF his powerful
frame drawn to the severest tension
was indeed an Inspiring sight.
After landing the nsh he felt hun
cry and fatigusd, and opened the
pail, to find it full of lard almost
by the heat of the sun.
He pitched the Hard into the river,
like 49er and came
home as fast as his team could carry
him.

Cream soda.

One of the most satisfactory
Summer drinks ever invented has
recently been introduced in Carson
by E. G. Vonderhyde, the soda
water manufacturer. 1t is called
cream soda, and is the invention of
DR.. d. L. Hall, the Boston ply
siciar and chemist. For years the
Doctor had made war upon heap
soda water, holding that the COM
bination of acids was highly pre-
judicial to the health. undermining
the system and sapping the vitality.
The soda men said, "Give us some.
thing better and we will maniac
ture it, DR.. Hall gave them a re-
ceipe for a drink which is called
cream soda and contains none of
the dangerous acids of the common
soda and is a much more pleasant
beverage. It is fast becoming a
popular drink in families, and one
has but to try it once to become en-
thusiastic over it. It is sold in
Belfast ginger ale bottles, which
contain about q third more than
. common soda bottle, and when
poured in . glass . thick creamy
foam gathers on the top and re-
mains for several minutes. Mr..
Vonderhyde advertises to sell it by
the case of three dozen for 81. %,
or one dollar per single. dozen.

The Anonymoue Letter Writer.
Referring to the yillainous prac-
tice of writing anonymous letters
that has recently been INDUCED in
here. the Grass Valley Tidings
says:
About two years ago . great num-
Der of anonymous 4 letters of the
most obscene kind were sent to diff
fer<nt. persons in Grass Valley.
Ladies' were much annoyed by
them. The officers and others had
their suspicious rs to the identity
of the party who wrote the letters,
and ali of sudden the suspected
party left town and the letters
ceased. We would not wonder if
that same le te- writer was in Car
son, Nevada. The Carson aneny.
nous letters. as Described w tiss
papers there, are the most lesstly
kind, just as the Grass Valley let
tiers were. Ladies of Carson are
threatened, unless they leave the
town within twenty four hours. and
letters to those ladies abound in
the most viliainous lies. The
Grass Valley police may be abe to
give the Carsoaites q clue in this
business.
There is no necessity Of any Grass
Valley police here. The filthy lst-
ter writer in this city is spotted to
. dead certainty and all that re-
mains to be done now is to get the
evidence is such . shape that it can
be presented to the next Grand
Jury, and after that we will guar
antee that The citizens of this place
will be no longer annoyed. Leav-
ing town will not benefit the party
in the slightest, as an attempt to
do so would result in immediate
arrest.
