LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.


PROBABLY INsANE.-A young man named
Frank Moran, who arrived here on the i'm
migrant train yesterday morning, called at
the City Dispensary about noon, with a
confused idea that he was sick, and DIR.
Parkinson soon saw that his ailment was
more mental than physical as he appeared
to be in robust health, and gave him note
to Chief Jackson. At the station-house he
told the officer in charge that he wanted
" to get piece put in the paper" to Col
opel Hardin, of Santa Rosa. that he mo
RAM did not intend to kill him. This he
explained by saying that he worked on
Colonel Hardin's ranch, and "the Colonel
came to me for prophesy, and prophesied
to kill him, and he has been after me ever
since, whenever | get work to drive me off,
so that | can't get the means to do it if l
wanted to, but [ wouldn't kill him if
could, though man ought to be killed for
treating man as he has me, and / want to
have 1t put in the paper, so that he will let
me alone. | had a job in Paradise valley,
and he followed me up there, so that | had
to leave" He said he didn't know that he
made any such prophesy, but they told him
he did. He did not have any recollection
as to the circumstances connected with his
leaving Hardin's ranch, but it was over a
year ago, and he thought he must have
been sick. 1t was deemed best to lock him
up to await the action of the Commission
erS in Lunacy.
PARDON MArTERs.-At the meeting of the
Board OF State Prison Directors held at San
Quentin on Tuesday evening, number of

T. s Gardner in Colusa county in 1876, and
received sentence of twenty years, also re-
quested that his case be recommended for
a pardon. TWAS claimed that the deceased.
who was stabbed by Morine, died more
from improper surgical treatment than the
wound, as the attending surgeon had sewn
up the cut intestines with a pack-needle
and thread. The Board of Directors APP
pointed committee, composed of Hen
bricks, Wilkins and Devlin, to confer with
the Governor with the view of making, in
Sacramento, more complete record of the
pardons than has hitherto been done.
IMMIGRANTS CoMING.-A gentleman re-
Gently from the East was in town yester-
day, as agent of colony OF Maine people
who desire to come to California, and he
consulted with DR.. Latham, Secretary OF
the immigration Association, as to where
he could find a location of fifteen or twenty
thousand acres, suitable for fruit, grain and
general farming. In the afternoon he went
up to Yuba and Butte counties to look at
land. l. n. Hoag writes to DR. Latham
from Chicago that he is receiving a great
many applications for information from
parties who want to come to the State, and
he has no doubt there will be big immi-
grafton. The increase of arrivals in the
State by the immigrant trains daily is
marked, and it is noticeable that the con-
dition of those coming is more prosperous
than generally heretofore. indicating q
more desirable class of settlers The Ger
man colony at Bangor, whose lands are in
Butte and 1uba counties, is receiving con-
slant accessions and becoming important.
"OUR BOYS. The presentation of Our
Boys at the Tivoli continues to draw good
houses, Notwithstanding the Loan Exhibi-
ton and counter attractions. 1t is one OF
the best plays that has been presented at
the Tivoli, and is deserving of patronage.
The acting throughout is good, in fact
everyone is suited to the character repre-
sented. In speaking of the different char

Mr.. Foster as Talbot Champney'S son, He
has the genuine English dude part-your-
-the-middle style about him, and
can say Chawley to perfection. 1t is his
best effort in Sacramento. Miss Kittie Bel
mour, always good, is especially so in the
character of Belinda, a lodging-house
slave. Sam and George Marion, in their
song and dance and acrobatic feats, are
loudly applauded and highly appreciated
The same programme for the balance OF
the week.
SOMEWHAT AsToNIsHED. = Yesterday
morning, when the cases of the eighteen
tramps, arrested by officers Rider, Airing
ton and Sullivan, were called in the Police
Court, the entire band pleaded guilty, ex-
pecting that they would be allowed to
leave town if they threw themselves upon
the mercy of the Court. To their dismay
and disgust, however, Judge Henry had
other ideas as TO what was best to be done
with them, and directed that they be i'm
prisoned in the County Jail for thirty days
each. Later III the day officers Kent, Far
rell and Frazee herded them TO the county s
hotel, the unique appearance of the pro-
cesslon attracting mach attention. Doubt
less their debut in the chain-gang doing
street duty will convince many OF their
vagrant friends that Sacramento is not a
good place toloaf in in rough-and-tumble
way, for any length of time.

so than the general run of burlesques, but
is claimed TO be more entertaining.
