SAD ACCIDENT AT CoURTLAND.-A dis
patch received from CORTLAND last evening
states that E. II. Filter and his two sons
were drowned in the Sacramento rive
about mile above that place yesterday
afternoon. 1t seems that they were build
ing platform to enable them to dip water
from the river. The boys had stripped and
were holding to some posts which they had
driven. As they needed another board to
complete the PLATFORM Mr. Filter told the
boys to hold on to the posts while he went
to the house for the board. The boys, in
order to brighten their mother, who was
sitting on the bank, began jumping around
III the water, and, letting go the posts, were
carried By the current into deep water.
They soon became frightened and began
calling for help. Mr. Filter, hearing their
cries, came running down from the house,
and, seeing the boys struggling in the
water, plunged in and tried to save
them, they being unable to swim.
All three were drowned before assistance
arrived. Mr.. Filters body was recovered
soon after. 1t was found about ten feet
from the shore. The boys bodies have
not been found as yet, although every eff
fort has been made. Mr.. Filter only ar
rived at CORTLAND from San Francisco
with his family on Monday, intending to
spend few weeks in the vicinity. He was
an old resident of San Francisco, and
owned the saloon on the corner of East
and Jackson streets. He was about So
years OF age. The boys were aged respec-
lively y and IA years. There remain to
mourn the sad loss the wife ard mother
and her three daughters Coroner Clark
held an inquest on the body of Mr.. Filter
last night.
WHEN A WOMAN WILL, SHE WILL
Yesterday afternoon, before the departure
of the $50 train for San Francisco, the at
tention of people at the depot was attracted
by dispute between a mother and daugh-
ter, the latter having gone there prepared
to leave for the Bay to which her mother
objected declaring, g You' shall not gon'
A San Franciscan, who had been here a
day or two ago, and who was going down
on the same train, was pointed out by some
one as being the young womans travelling
companion, but he did nothing to indicate
that such was the fact, and nothing was
said by mother or daughter relative to there
being man in the case. The mother APP
piled 10 officer Sullivan TO stop the girl
from going, and he endeavored TO persuade
her to give up the idea, but stopped his
efforts very quickly upon her remarking,
am q years of age, and by -, | am
goingih The officer responded, That's
all right; guess you are going Presently
the girl started for the train, and her
mother, getting in front of her, endeavored
TO prevent her but she pushed resolutely
by and took a seat by herself in one of the
cars. Her mother went to the station-house
and asked for a warrant for her arrest for
petty larceny in appropriating some skirts,
but finally was persuaded to drop the mat
ter, as it was evident the girl was deter
mined to leave hone, and an arrest would
only have the effect of bringing the names
of the parties before the public. 1t is said
that the girl left home once before when
she was not of age.

their return, upon the subject of the game
of baseball played at Woodland last Sun
day between them and the " Strictly Bust

They played five innings, and scored l to
their opponents 20 The Maa of Monday
says: The Sacramento baseball tossers
seem to have bad luck in their attempts to
get away with the honors IN their contests
with Woodland, for they have invariably
come to grief, and their last attempt on
Sunday has been the most melancholy yet
Several times the Woodland boys have
waxed them, and last week they raked the
Capital with a fine tooth-comb to get up q

municative Sacramento boy unbosomed
himself TO a Nail representative in that city

of the same name as those who had played
with the Woodland boys before. Well
they came Sunday. and found the boys
here Strictly Business, as their name
