they were The same animal, one bet
ting that it was not. They wrote to
the publisher of the paper and to the
loser of the animal for proof. This
morning Il postal card came saying
that it was the same animal. The
loser was led by the letter to inquire
about the advertised animal and found
1T to be the one he had lost. So he

A man hamed Jacoh Buchler, II
blacksmith and horse sheer, who has
been at work on the Sutro ranch for
the past year or so, is supposed to have
committed suicide by jumping from
the Sutro bridge into the river last
Thursday morning. Buchler formerly
was II very hard binker, and had
always CANT ied OF and drank up his
wages as soon as they came into his
hands, About n year ago he reformed,
joined the Temperance lodge and was
also admitted into the A. o. u. w.
Lodge of Sutro. FIe had kept his
pledge until about n week ago, when
he lost his nip and got on a spree. lie
gambled away all of his hard earned
money, and becoming disconsolate, re
marked to several parties that he had
a good mind to jump into the river.
When he was missed his tracks were
followed to the bridge and there they
ended; so the supposition is That he
jumped into the river and was drowned
The river Is very high and swift on
account of the recent iains, and, al
though efforts were made 10 find the
body, the attempt proved useless. If
the man is drowned the probe biliiy is
that the body will never be recovered,
as the river at that point is full of
brush and tree tops and once lodged
therein the remains would never come
to the surface. In 'e2 or '63 man
was drowned in this same place in the
river ard the body WAS never found

The school Entertainment

The entertainment given last Mon
day evening Ply the pupils OF Miss
Holmes school was success from
every point of view. Nucleus Hall
was filed by an attentive and apprec4.
alive audience, and each and every one
of the little youh gsters acquitted them
selves in 4 manner to make their
parents and their teacher proud Of
them. The program was an unusually
long one, but it was rendered through
out in such admirable style that all
were sorry when the end was reached
The grouping of the tafbfeaux was one
of the most pleasing features and
altogether, the entertainment reflected
great credit upon Miss Holmes for
having drilled the children SO per.
fectly. To mention any of the little
performers without mentioning all,
when they all did SO welh seems like
an injustice, but Miss Edith and Master
Frank Davis did so exceedingly well
that they really merit special mention.
E. B. Pixley, also, though hardly to be
classed as among the more youthful of
thechildren, rendered Sweet Violetsn

entertainment social dance was

that furnishes their water is half way

descended from warlike ancestry, and
Is no aesthetic delight In hazy valleys and
misty mountain tops. Their gardens are not
an assured success when water is plentiful
and tho weather propitious. They cannot
