Yesterday afternoon W. r. Barnes and
c. c. Carpenter were taking a ride in the
formers buggy, and reached the junction
of Twelfth and r streets as the Sacramento
and Placerviile train was coming into the
city. Feeling confidence that his horse
would not be frightened, Mr.. Barnes drove
up the incline and stopped near the track.
The engineer Of the train about that time
whistied for crossings, when the horse be-
lied his good reputation by swinging side
ways, cramping The buggy, and then backed
il Off the side of the incline, everything
tumbljng upside down. Fortunately
neither of the gentlemen received injury,
neither did the horse, but The top of the
buggy was damaged and one Of the wheels
dished.
Two young men of Woodland, with lady
companions, drove over to Sacramento last

their visit to the city exceedingly. Driving
home by moonlight they were surprised at
the number Of striped cats" noticeable

driver remarked that he would run over
the next that loitered in the roadway. The
opportunity was soon presented and, true
to his word the driver pressed forward and
ran over the pretty little denizen of the
tule The Woodland Democrat says that
none Of the party have mentioned the in
cident freely, but the silence of the gentle
men. coupled with the fact that the car
riage is being disinfected in the back yard
of the stable, and the harness has been
thrown into Beamers slough, is pretty con-
elusive evidence that the reflections over
the last half of the journey home are not
pleasant"
Two ranchmen, residing a few miles be-
! low Sacramento and both well known in
, the city, spent the Fourth here, and next
! day went ont for walk, hoping the exer-
! else would enable them to get over ii" in
good shape Passing along | street they
/ came to a boiler shop, in front of which a
| long iron smokestack-60 or 50 feet in
| length-waS lying. One of them suggested
! that it would be good thing to crawl into
and get ont of the way. The other bet
| him 81 80 that he could not crawl through
! ii, and the wager was excepted. The stack
proved to be one that had seen service, and
/ was well lined with SCOT The crawler
entered upon his task, and the dust and
: SCOT soon compelled him to close his eyes.
! He kept on moving, however, but about
I the time he thought he had reached the
outcome he found himself brought to a
/ full stop, his progress being interfered with
! by two cross pieces so firmly fastened in
/ the pipe that he could not remove them,
{ and nothing remained for him TO do but
return crab-fashion to the end at which he
had entered. When he reappeared, look
ing like chimney-sweep, his friend had
disappeared, and he hasn't seen him since
