There is probably no truth in the report
that the present low stage of the river is
due to an eX-member of the Sacramento
police force, now in the mountains, having
lam down i'll one of its chief tributaries
and there damned the stream.
This has been thus far a very quiet week
in the city. Besides the military there are
several hundred persons absent at the vari-
Gus summer resorts. Neither department
of the Superior Court is running, the Gov
ernor and several other State officials are
absent, and quiet reigns in nearly all de-
partments OF the public service
MORE SUDDEN ATTAcKs.-About s
O'Clock last evening, ]. B. Pierpont, a
painter who resides ON X street, between
Eighth and Ninth had Just reached his
home, after a vigorous walk from Second
street, when he was seized with violent
pains in the abdomen and the usual symp-
toms of an attack of cholera morbus. He
suffered intensely, and physician was
promptly summoned. 1t required the
strength of several men to hold him for a
time. After an hour OF so he became easier,
and there was at last accounts every reason
to believe that he was out of danger. 1t
was stated by one of those in attendance
on him that while ON his way home from
Second street Mr.. Pierpont had, while
greatly overheated, taken a small drink of
liquor, which he followed up with a glass

call the attention of those who are apt TO
indulge in iced drinks while overheated to
the fact that in so doing they take desperate
chances on losing their lives. A little
water, moderately cold, may perhaps be
drank with safety at such time, but il
should be very little, and not gulped down
IN large quantities, but very small swal-
lows. However, when the weather is ex-
cessively hot and the body greatly heated
cold drinks of any kind, taken
even sparingly, are more or less dangerous

ascertained that Joseph Kelly, aged 10
years, son of Patrick Kelly, who keeps a
saloon on | street, between Sixth and
Seventh, after an ver-indulgence in ice
water last evening had severe attack.

fatal. But, under the influence of warm

CASE PosTPoNED.-Y yesterday the case in
which John 7. Cardwell is the prosecutor
and George Cavitt, T. F. Cavitt and n.
Stackhouse are the defendants-on charges
OF misdemeanor-was called before Justice
Henley. w. A. Anderson appeared fol
the prosecution and Grove l.. johnson for
the defense. Owing to Mr. Anderson being
busily engaged in the Police Court, the case
was continued until this morning. 1t APP
pears that the defendants rented some land
from Cardwell for a term of years and
erected some buildings thereon. Cardwell
says that, under the terms of the lease. the
buildings were to remain and be settled for
at the conclusion of the lease but that the
defendants defaulted in their payments
and have sought to terminate their rela-
tons with him by tearing down and re-
moving the buildings. There were two
charges of misdemeanor brought. one OF
which was tried before Justice Anderson in
Folsom. One jury disagreed and another
returned verdict of acquittal. The case
before Justice Henley is the one first insti-
tuted. Quite a number of Folsomites are
in attendance as witnesses, etc.
