LOCAL IEFELhEGENCR,

\ COLD SHAKE.-A young gallant in
downtown cigar store was on the war-path
yesterday. 1t appears that on the preced-
ing afternoon he received q note, written in
a feminine hand, requesting him TO be at
Sixth and X streets at halEpast I that even
ing. The note was signed 80 Hattie X -
and its contents set the young mans heart
quite on fire. He could scarcely contain
himself until evening, so anxious was he to
meet the mysterious damsel who had be-
come so enamored of him as to request a
clandestine meeting. When an old Gus
toner would come in and ask for a five
cent cabbageana the elated youth would
shove out the best two-bit Havana in the
store He didn't care for expenses-not
then. The day wore slowly away. and at
the appointed hour the young man was at
the trysting-place. With an affected air of
unconcern he paced up and down the side
Walk, looking anXiously for something in
pettlcoats to come along with a yellow rose
pinned over her heart He couldn't under
stand Why so many of his male acquaint-
ances happened that way about that time,
nor why they all should stop and accost
HIM. Neither did he at first drop on" the
significance of so many hackmen hauling
up and asking him if he desired a carriage.
Alter waiting a long while however, and
being asked for the twentieth time if he
wanted hack, and Hattie X" failing to
put IN an appearance, it began to dawn
upon him that he had been made the vic
TIM OF cruel practical joke; and as he
Wended his way hOmeward through unfre-
quented streets he swore vengeance on the
heads of about dozen of the Young men
who had taken occasion to wish him de-
hghtfql evening, etc. Instead of the usual
stuffed club he has good solid hickory
stick on hand waiting for them to come
along.
CHARGED WITH RoBBERY.-A young man
named L. s. Funk has been in the city for
a few. days seeing the elephant, and in his
search for the big beast he has confined
himself chiefly to certain disreputable
places. Only night before last he was eau
toned by officer Franks against hanging
about these deadiallS, but replied that he
had travelled, he had and was too fly" to
allow anybody to get the advantage of him.
Yesterday he presented himself at the DO
lice station and swore out a warrant for a
loater named William +. Patterson, whom
he charged with having robbed him of $50
while drunk in John Norton's saloon the
night preceding. Officers Franks and Sui
Ivan started out on still hunt for Mr. 1
Patterson, but found that he had Jumped
the early morning train and left town. a
telegram was then sent TO Chief Crowley,
San Francisco, to have him arrested there.
Patterson is well known to the police of
the metropolis, and there is little likelihood
of his escaping.

Brown, Trustees Nielsen and Jones and
City Surveyor Bassett held an informal con-
sultation yesterday on the slickens situa-

10 ascertain what action, if any, that body
intends taking in the premises. Mr.. Fas-

miners, and had nearly perfected the ar
engagements necessary to a successful tilt in
the Courts. As soon as everything shall
be IN readlness-which will be very soon

the manner originally determined upon.

process of raising the streets to the high
grade has been virtually reduced to a one
