From the san Franciscan.
There is a lady in San Francisco who
has Just gone to housekeeping in a nice
little fiat. She has always had the idea
that when she went to housekeeping she
would take a green Japanese boy and
train him according to her own ideas. She
is at present in the act of training him.
but the ultimate result is shrouded in mys-
terry. II looks now as if the boy would
follow his own sweet will, and the lady
become a worthy successor to Albert Mar
tinetti, the pantomimist and acrobat. The
boy, who cannot speak a word of English,
and is not inclined to take any active excr-
else, amuses himself by silently and dis
passionately observing the lady's actions.
When, for instance, the lady wants
him TO sweep a room, she brings
him to the doorway and springing
to the middle of the room.
begins IA lively pantomime of the
act of sweeping. The Jap looks at her
mournfully and seriously, as if he was
sorry she had EN-. Then the lady, see
ing she must come to it, grabs a broom
and begins to sweep in dead earnest,
using, like all amateurs, about twice as
much strength as is needful. After a
short round she passes the broom to the
Jap, and makes a gesture which is in
tended to convey the idea that he is to
finish the job. 1t doesn't convey. Not
to be outdone in politeness, the JaI
passes the broom back to her, as if t.
say that he would not for the world de
prive her of so graceful and e~xhilaratine
an amusement. In despair the lady re
fuses to take the broom, and it falls t.
the floor. The Jap takes hat as n sigr
that negotiations are at an end, and walk
out into the garden to take the air.

Last evening one of the Kline. Brothers,
who have run an auction store on Six
teenth street, informed Officer Nolan that
a man had stolen a watch from them.
The officer Immediately started in pursuit
of the offender who after a lively chase
was caught at the corner of Fifteenth and
Eddy streets. When arrested he gave his
name as John Donnelly and upon search
ing him the watch was found.
Kline Brothers have no idoa howhc got
the watch but think hat he has been
working the store for some time. Com
plant has been made hat watches bought
at the evening sales have been stolen and
they suspect that Donnelly can tell where
they have gone to.

Kit Willoughby has the reputation
of being the best broncho rider in the
Territory. A. Secoma, Nevada, he de-
monstrated that the Wyoming cowboy is
more than equal to his Nevada PROTOTYPE.
The champion of Nevada, who had
won a silver mounted saddle by his skill,
was %endeavoring to ride a factious horse,
but without success. Kit remarked that
he could ride the animal, and was willing
to back his opinion by S25. The
champion stated that if he could accom-
plish the feat the silver mounted saddle
would be transferred to his possession.
Kit accepted the proposition, mounted
the horse and stuck 10 him. The cham
pion acknowledged his defeat and gave
up the saddle, which kit brought to this
city with him.
The saddle is a fine piece of workman
ship and is said to have cost $3.50. Kit
will soon leave for the range. going with
the Fisher outfit.

FATAL AFFRAY.
Five Cow Boys Attempt TO Clean
Out a Hog Ranch.
A Fort Fetterman Festivity Which
Ends Seriously.
One Man MortalIy and Several Sc
riOusIy Wounded.

A shooting affray occurred at Fort Fet-
terman, on Friday night, in which one of
the participants was mortally and two
others seriously wounded.
A party Of FIVE cowboys, desirious of
adding terror to their somewhat notori-
Gus regulations, conceived the idea of
crossing the river and cleaning out a hog
rancho, Of which j. d. Lawrence was
owner and proprietor. To obtain the
requisite mount of nerve required for
the undertaking a generous quantity of
benzine was consumed, and after u few
predatory speeches the quintette started
out. The voyage across the river was ac-
complished without any mishap, and the
party at ono prepared to invade Mr..
L%awrence's cattle.
According to the narrative of a spec
tator of the affair, they were received cor
daily, and additional Bourbon was sur
rounded by the both parties, and for II
time all was as harmonious as the f%estivi-
ties of a church sociable. Soon, how
ever, it was evident a belligerent cloud,
small at first as the tabled hand, was gath
ering in the now peaceful sky. An al
tercation began. and from words to blows
was, metaphorically speaking, but a step,
and that step was soon taken. At first
the cowboys had the best of it, and the
swine herd were in the minority.
AT length the tide of war turned. Some
one sxtinguished the lights and the af-
fray now assumed a serious character.
Rsvolvers were drawn, and it was a fight
for life. In the darkness shots were fired
fast and frequent, and yells, groans and
curses made the scene a pandemonium.
Tho fight was short, quick and decisive
All fought with a desperation amounting
almost to madness, and in a few minutes
it became evident hat the cowboys were
worsted. They at once retreated and
left the swine herds masters of the stu
alton.
When the lamps were relighted the re-
suits of the encounter became apparent.
One of the cowboys, William Villas, was
found to be shot in the stomach, and it is
expected that he will die. Another COW
boy was shot in the eye, and his wounds
are regarded as serious, but necessarily
fatal. Lawrence, the proprietor of the
hog ranch, was shot through the shoulder
Medical assistance was summoned
and everything was done to make the
men comfortable. There is little hope OF
Villas recovery, and in all probability the
other cowboy will be minus an eye.
1t is stated that hog rancho had a bad
name, and that all the participants in the
affair are hard characters. Be that as it
may the affray is one of the most serious
hat has occurred in the Territory for some
time.

APPEASING THE GODS.
The Celestial Manner of Making
Advances Toward Confucius.
Strange Chinese Ceremonies in the
City Cemetery Sunday.
Counting the Protection of a De-
parted Clothes Mangler.


Few people of this city know that there
is buried in the cemetery one of the sub.
jects ofthe Flowery Kingdom, but such
however is the case. On Sunday the
sexton wal surprised to see a trio OF
moon-eyed Celestials file in and seek the
grave of their countryman. In their
arms they bore a small amount of kind
ling wood, a quantity of paper cut into
tiny parallelograms and two pears, two
peaches and Il plum. With considerable
curiosity he watched the antics of the
pagans to see what the object of this pro-
cession meant
Gravely depositing the kindling wood
at the foot Of the grave they straight
way proceeded to kindle a fire. When
this was accomplished the bundle of par
allelograms was opened and each one
selected his share. Then after u%ttering
some unintelligible gibberish they began
to toss them into the air. This perfor-
nance was continued for some minutes
and the supply becoming exhausted
another mode of procedure was %inaugu-
rated.
The trio ranged themselves in a line
facing the sun. Again there was a little
grafton by each individual the sound of
which suggested the smashing of glass
ware. All at once they commenced a
see-saw movement with their hands and
acted like a beyy OF Vassar school girls
gong through a calesthenie drill. This
was continued until the Celestials were
tired out
After resting a few minutes the fruit
was divided and each proceeded to de-
o u his rations- This was not Il very
difficult task and when accomplished they
extinguished the fire and made prepare
tions to depart.
The sexton could control his curiosity
no longer and approaching the Celestials
inquired the object of the ceremony. I'm
til this moment John had been as grave
and serious us the surrounding tomb
stones. Now his entire demeanor
changed. He smiled until the corners of
his mouth were drawn out like n doctors
bull in a case OF typus fever when the
patient lives, and his ears appeared anx-

Confidence Men Try to Beat a Chey-
me C~roceryman.

Last night a young man entered the
grocery of Mr.. Clark in the Wyoming
block and asked for 4 dimes worth of
chewing tobacco. The clerk very oblig-
ingly gave him the amoun of the weed
requested, and the young man handed a
ten dollar dollar note in payment thereof.
Just as the change was deposited on the
counter another young man appeared
and, observing the pile of coin, said;
Don't lumber yourself up with that
change. Here, III pay the ten
cents"
As he spoke he handed the clerk the
dime which was deposited in the drawer.
Now, then, said the first young man;
Just you take the change and give me
the ten dollar bill. You may run short
Of change, you know"
He showed the 81. 80 across the counter
but the five dollar gold piece which be a
few minutes before had obtained from the
clerk, was not among the coin. The clerk
wanted the remaining s.. The young
man explained that it had been swept
into the drawer. Mr.. Clarke suspected
that all was not right and instructed the
clerk to keep the $40. The party now
became alarmed and the confederate found
the gold piece under some papers on the
counter, and passed it to the clerk and
asked for the bill
The officers now appeared and the two
confidence operators broke and ran, going
in opposite directions. One got away and
the other was arrested. He gave bonds
for his appearance tomorrow.

POLICE NOTES.
A D1sA OF Petty OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
Takers and Fighters.

Frank Irma was arraigned before Judge
Lee Yesterday on the charge OF using
abusive language. 1t seems that Irma
took a watch chain to J. Berger and
wanted to sell it to him. Berger wanted to
test the hahn, to which Hnea objected.
Berger then offered him S25 for it which
aroused Irma's ire. His language was
not of the character which good society
tolerates and Berger ordered him II of
his store.
On the sidewalk he still continued his
harlngue and he was ,aken in tow by the
officers. Judge Lee very benignantly
fined him slS for the privilege of free
speech, which was paid.
George Corey, who was arrested on the
complaint of Colonel u. Swaringer for
appropriating one of the colonel's herd Of
cattle, was discharged by Judge Fisher
yesterday, there being no evidence to
sustain the charge.
Three men were welcomed by Judge
Fisher, who proceeded to investigate the
truth of the charge brought against them
that of being tramps. The evidence
was not sufficient and they were returned
to the city corral until tomorrow when
further developments will be reached.
The young man who obtained goods and
money of Henry Harrington is still in
durance vile. His friends are endeavor-
ing to raise an amount sufficient to satisfy
Mr.. H%arrington's demands, and the
matter will be amicably arranged probably
in a day or two.
On Sunday morning some n tried to
get into the house of0hicer Deitrick. The
watch dog alarmed the inmates and Mr..
Deitrick proceeded to investigate. He
overlook the man in the middle of The
street, and after giving him some good
council, let him 20. 1t may be profitable
to piller your neighbors goods, but it is
not the correct thing to try to break into

NOT KILLED.
WIN Guthrie Reported KIiIed--The Re
pert Proves Untrue.

Yesterday it was reported that VIII
Guthrie had been stabbed and killed by a
cowboy at Clark's station in Nebraska,
1t was also stated that he had been shot
and killed at a small town in Iowa. A
reporter Immediately proceeded to inves-
tigate the rumors, for such they proved to
be. 1t was found that a few days ago
Guthrie had left the city with some cattle
for Chicago. A gentleman of this city
stated that he had left Guthrie in Omaha
last Saturday, and that it was his inten-
ton to start for Chicago that evening.
He did not believe that there was any
truth in the statement. Late in the af-
tcrnoon it was learned that there was no
truth in the report whatever, as Mr..
Guthrie was alive and well. Who was
the author of the rumor, the reporter was
unable to learn, but fora time it caused
much excitement among Mr.. Guthrie's
friends, who will rejoice that there was no
foundation for the report.

A man, whose name the reporter was
unable to learn, claimed to have a Knight
of Pythias pin stolen from him by his
roommate on Sunday last. He found
upon inquiry that someone had taken a
pin to Berger and tried to dispose Of it.
Berger refused to buy the pin, and stated
that he had just sold it to another party.
The loser Immediately hunted'u up his
roommate and went to Berger and asked
him if this was the man who offered the
pin for sale Berger identified him, but
the party accused denied the charge. The
loser Immediately sought an officer and
started out in search of his man, but as
yet no trace of him has been found.
