Damron, was stolen out of her buggy
yesterday afternoon on Requena street,
while she was momentarily away. The
satchel contained five dollars and o pair
of gold bracelets. 1t was locked. The
thief cut it open, abstracted the valua-
bles and threw it behind J. M. Pray's
blacksmith shop, on Los Angeles street,
where it was afterwards found. James
Whitney and Tobe Wilson were arrested
on suspicion of being the larcenists, but
were released afterwards. The former,
however, was soon rearested for being

He Would Have His own W.

He Would Have His own Way.
Charles Winter, German who lives
near the Second street park, has not
made life very pleasant for his better
half Lena, during the eight years that
they have been married, the form of his
endearment to her generally expressing
itself by kicks and cuffs. He secured
work in the country some days ago and
wanted her to accompany him, but she,
knowing how it would be when there
were no neighbors around to interpose
for her, refused to 60. Charles then
got mad and told Mrs. Winter that un-
less she went willingly with him to his
new home, he would have her there
dead or alive. This so frightened the
woman that she got warrant for her
husbands arrest on the charge OF
threatening to murder her. Winter
was arrested and being unable to give
$500 for his examination, this morning,
was locked up.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
OF n Young Man Who Drank
Too Much Strong Liquor.

John G. Taylor, young man about
30 years of age, who looks slightly con.
sumptive, arrived here from San Diego
on the 18th of November. lie took up
his abode at the Natick House and pre-
sented to l. C. Curtis, who is the man
ager of the hotel, letter OF introduc-
tion from Messrs. Butterheld h Baker,
preprietors of the Arlington Hotel at
San Diego, warmly recommending the
bearer, who, they said, was gentleman
of leisure in pursuit of health and pleas
ure. Mr.. Taylor had lots Of money
and used a considerable amount OF 1t
drinking intoxieants. Consequently he
was always more or less drunk and
hardly responsible. As he did not act
in an ungentlemanly manner Mr.. Curtis
disliked to have him notified to lie ave,
and upon several occasions he was placed
again in his room and locked up. Yes.
terday morning he was again intoxicated
and as a precaution the hotel clerk had
him placed in his room and the door
locked. The window, giving upon the
hall could not be fastened and after the
attendants had left the passage Taylor
escaped by it and went out of the hotel
unknown to any one. Yesterday Officer
Roberts found a man lying in state of
insensibility on the sidewalk on Re-
quena street, and believing him to be
drunk started him off towards the police
Office. He noticed suddenly very ex-
traordinary dilation of the strangers pu-
pills and fearing that something was
wrong, summoned Officer Lemon to his
assistance and between the two the man
was hurriedly brought to the station.
DR.. Baker was called, and though he
pronounced the symptoms those OF poi
soning, was at loss at first to deter
mine what kind OF poison the man had
taken. His mouth was full of sticky
white paste with peculiar smell, which
was removed, and the general antidotes
for poison were administered. Mayor
Spence, who was once druggist, hap.
pening along, said upon examination OF
the stuff that it was arsenious acid. The
patient was soon relieved by retching,
though the peculiar stare and semi
paralysis which had hold of him when
he entered did not disappear for long
time. He was identified as the same
John G.. Taylor who had escaped from
the Natick House. He was very reti-
cent about the poisoning and said that
he had not taken any drug, but he
could or would not explain how he hap.
pened to have it in his mouth. He said
that he belonged in the State of New
York. In his pocket was found a blank
envelope with a black border, within
which was also q blank sheet with
a black border, and upon being
pressed said that he had intended
to write to his mother. he would say
nothing further. 1t is believed that no
other cause than whisky led this young
man to attempt to end his days.

Salt at Cheboygan.

The Cheboygan Tribune says !:
Two attempts have been made to
solve the problem as to salt or no
salt underlying Cheboygan, both prov
ing fruitless from unfortunate circum-
stances. Our people have invested in
the two holes $4,000 or $4,000.
Heretofore the subscribers have taken
all the risk of not finding salt, and
their good money went into the holes
and the question is still unsettled.
The Cheboygan Lumber Company
now propose to assume all risk of not
finding salt, but ask that the citizens
compensate them if they do. w. w.
Strohn makes the following PROPOSE
ton on behalf of the company He
says that they will sink a well, 1000
feet deepif necessary, and should they
not find salt the company to stand the
entire expense. That they will keep
an accurate account Of the entire ex-
pense and if they do find salt the citi-
zens to pay them the cost of the well.
A number of our citizens have signi-
fed their willingness to subscribe
literally upon these conditions.
Should salt be found it would be big
thing for Cheboygan and the citizens
could we'll afford to compensate the
company for their outlay. IF salt is
not found the experiment would not
cost the citizens anything. Let us
have salt.
