The TsrrOrs of Moving

This is the way moving day
appears to the Gazette reporter :
4 London brothei at seven
o'clock in the morning, after a
crew of man o'-warsnen have
had a 24-hours' spree in it, is Il
well regulated den compared
with the condition of the
Gazette office at this particular
time. Everything is in a heap.
it is an incessant slam-bang
which even a stOne-deaf man
cannot ignore. All of the traps
in the office seem to be jumping
and sliding around and the
stands and imposing stones are
having a Virginia reel while tn e
devil beats time on the water
bucket. Il troop of draymen
and roustab0uts are SHINING
the concern, each trying to see
who can make the most noise.
Ali this is occasioned by the
Gazette moving into its new
quarters on Virginia street,
where it will have, without ex-
ception, the finest offices on
the Pacific coast. BY the mid
die Of next week everything
will be quiet again and things
will settle down into the regular
groove. Then the scribe will
say, "Thank Ged from whom all
blessings foW."

and Carson for four years. We
were particularly friendly. He
once kept bar for me in a saloon.
L occupied Ross room here fol
some time. l was at Governor
Adams reception on the nigh t
of the 18th of January until
about 8 O'Clock. Then went to
saloon. Was running about
considerably tina. night. Jimmy
Duffy was playing poker and
wanted me to play with him,
but l wouldn't. 1 then went up
| and asked Ross for ten dollars.
WITNESS then repeated the
conversation about as the
previous witnesses had done,
| but stated that the first intima-
ton of the fight came from Ross
and that Ross called him a son
Of b first.l l raised my
cane and as he lodged it struck
him Oh the head. He raised up
and said, "That's all right, you
big son of 4 b., Pil fix you,'
and he started for the bar room.
pulled my gun, surprising he'd
go to shoot. Jefferson grabbed
me and says, "Hold on" and l
told him that | wasn't going to
hurt anybody. l followed him
this way lillustratingl and
when l got almost to the door l
fell lillustrating.l
THE STRUGGLE ON THE FLOOR.
As / fell somebody grabbed
my arm and also grabbed nay
pistol and said, "Yuu son of 4
b" We tu5sled for few
seconds and a pistol shot Did
not know whose pistol it was.
Ross stood over me trying TO
wrench the pisto! from nay hand.
Don't know who fired the first
two shots. Didn't know but
that it was Sweeney shooting at
me from the outside. Then | I
jerked my pistol from Ross and !
it went off. Did not take de- |
liberate aim when it went off.
l knew that | was bound to die |
if he got the pistol. Anybody |
acquainted with the man knew
that. l knew this from his talk
beforehand. / knew his repu-
tatioD for peace and quiet.
When he got into 2 fight his
was that he was a
desperate man. When in Il
fight he fought to kill. Never
heard him say but once that he
calculated to kill anybody.
Said he would kill Hawthorne
and if he made a fight with
him he intended to kill him.
Ross was a stout young man
who would weigh enc hundred |
and sixty or seventy pounds.
On my way to the door ! had no
intention to shoot or harm
Ross. The shooting was not
but accidental. Did
not bear any i'll will toward
Boss. We were always friends.

services consisted of q recitation
by four boys and three girls, c1

the children total abstinence. A

Cocks Combs Utilized to keep Ineisors
Alive till Needed.
Transplanting sound teeth from the jaws OF
healthy persons who could spare them to those
of persons who needed them has been prac-
tced for some time but it was only recently
that means we're devised by which extracted
teeth could be kept alive indefinitely until
needed.
DIR. w. ]. Younger, of San Francisco, says
the Call, has been conducting series OF ex-
periments, which have resulted in the disCOv-
cry of means of preserving the life of the ex-
racted tooth. 1t is nothing more or
less than grating" it as soon as it is
drawn, upon the engorged comb of a healthy
rooster, and leaving it there properly secured,
until it is wanted. Then it is cut away, the
cock being placed under the influence OF
chloroform, washed, and everything removed
down to the membrane, and placed in the
freshly made cavity where it was needed. A
representative of the Call was permitted
Yesterday to examine the mouth of gentl9-
man in which there was a tooth that had been
planted there weelsor SO before, and which
was apparently as firm as those which had
always been there. 1t had been kept alive
on cocks comb for ten days, and been
taken from the mouth of young lady, whose
looks were benefited by the removal.
