James Kelly, one of the subjects" oper-
ated upon by Leonard Goheen, the mes
merist, at recent entertainments. declares
that he was not mesmeriZed little bit. but
pretended to because of financial arrange
ment between him and Goheen. The lat
ter having failed to pay him the agreed
sum, Kelly makes known the deception.
Burglars attempted to get into Mrs.
Hunts residence, ON O street, between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth, about II
o'clock Tuesday night, but she heard them
and commenced blowing police whistle,
causing the unwelcome visitors to vamoose.
Special officers Goods and Dolan answered
the whistle and looked about the premises
for the burglars, but they had disappeared.
Yesterday morning horse attached to
light spring wagon, at Tenth and f streets
became frightened at a falling tree, which
some young men were cutting down, and
breaking from his hitching-post dashed up
street at a furious rate. He kept the
middle of the road, and maintained the
smooth-running reputation OF the
Singer Sewing machine, to whose wagon
he was attached.
The barometer at o'clock last night ac-
cording to the Signal Service reports, was
low and falling rapidly in Washington
Territory and northern and central Oregon,
with southerly winds, and light rain falling
from Olympia to Red Bluff Heavy rain
was falling at Tatoosh Island, where there
appears to be storm coming in. The Sac
ramento observer got left yesterday on his
foul-weather sunset, for there was not an
appreclable amount of rain precipitated.
foul-weather sunset was reported last
night from Tatoosh to Red Bluff.
Judge Leon D. Freer, of Butte county,
passed through yesterday, on his way to
San Francisco from Oroville The Judge
took with him a piece of branch of an
orange tree, growing in his garden, which
had upon it. although but about three feet
IN length, about thirty mammoth oranges,
of such splendid appearance that all who
saw the bunch declared it the best speci-
men of northern California production that
had come under their observation. The
Judge intended to present it to Governor
James A. Johnson, of San Francisco.
Deputy Sheriff Wilson. of San Francisco
came up last evening, having in charge
William Page, who is en- route to Folsom
to serve twenty years for robbery. Page is
notorious Barbary- coast rounder, who for
several years has been a source of great an
noyance to the San Francisco police and
public. During the remarks made by
Judge Murphy in sentencing him Pages
face was wreathed with smiles, and after
being sentenced, he took his seat and
laughed as gayly as if he had been liber-
ated. He is locked upon as a clever thief,
and, although arrested a number of times.
always managed to escape conviction by
his plausible manner when being tried.
A Chinaman, whose forehead was orna-
mented with a bump not recognized in
chronological works, called at the Station
house yesterday afternoon and requested
the police to give him aid and comfort, ex-
planning that a short time previously he
had been ill-treated and robbed 5y two
Cinnamon on l street, between Fourth and
Fifth. Officer Kent accompanied him back
to that locality, but on his arrival there the
Celestial had little conversation with one
or two other Cinnamon, and his style sud
denly changed. He had previously been
very anxious to "Hully up-we catch
him" but now he cooled down, and almost
uninterestedly informed the officer that his
ASSISTANTS had gone away, and might be
caught in the evening. 1t looked very much
as if the matter had been fixed up, and
Kent concluded that he wasn't needed
longer.
