LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

STUCK IN THE DRAw.-The steamer Dover
came down stream about o'clock yester-
day morning, towing the barge Butte City,
loaded with grain. 1t was a light load
only 6,000 sacks, whereas she usually
brings il,000, and Captain Page thought
the barge would pass through the draw of
the bridge without trouble; but he was
mistaken. She brought up on the sand
when Immediately in the center of the
bridge, and for three hours the draw could
not be closed. Meanwhile the emigrant
train from San Francisco going East, due
here at A. NJ, had to wait in Washington.
and the local passenger train from the Bay
was detained there half an hour. while the
express train for Delta was held in the de-
pot here for an hour and a half. After try
ing unsuccessfully to pull the barge through
the bridge, the Dover procured another
barge, to which a portion of the Butte
City load was transferred, and then about
noon, with the assistance of the steamer
Governor Dana, the barge was pulled over
the sand and out of the way sufficiently to
admit of the draw being closed. During
the time the bridge was open boys did a
profitable business ferrying passengers
across the river in small boats.
GAMBLING MATTERs.-Y esterdav morn
ing, in the Police Court, City Attorney

against the parties recently arrested for
