Escapade of a Rattlesnake-A Brief but
Eyentful Career.

Eventful Career.
! Last evening a large crowd collected
around the show window of Spiekers drug
store, Sixth and X streets, to witness the
chloroforming of large rattlesnake that
has been on exhibition for the past three
months His snakeship is nearly four feet
in leugth, and is beautiful specimen OF
the deadly species. He was caught IN the
wagon road near the town of Fresno, some
four months ago, by a travelling agent OF
the firm, and by him carried for SIX weeks
in gunny sack, while travelling over the
country in spring wagon. 1t mas
been said of the rattlesnake that they
eat only once in SIX weeks, and with
them sit is long time between
drinks, not indulging in liquids oftener
than once in fortnight. This snake,
however, has proven the falsity OF all such
statements Since he has been upon exhi-
bition during the past eight weeks, he has
devoured three rats, two horned toads, two
frogs, and several mice, besides drinking
water every day, with all the gusto of
teetotaler. He became quite robust, and
upon two occasions has broken out of his
cage, and gone upon a tour of inspection
in the store. His last escapade of this kind
was yesterday, and when it was discov-
cred that his snakeship had made his
exit from his narrow glass prison, there
was almost a stampede among the
clerks, who were afraid to open the draw
ers, remove box or bottle, or step into
any portion of the room where it was the
least bit dark. One clerk, it is said, was so
badly frightened that he would not put his
hands in his rear pants pockets, for fear
that his snakeship might be concealed
there. A vigorous search of the premises
was made, his snakeship discovered, cap
tured with considerable trouble, and with
the aid of several pair of long iron tongS
returned to his prison. A council of war
was Immediately held, and it was decided
that he must die Just how to kill him was
the question 1t was finally decided
to first chloroform him and then put him
to death with surgical instruments, so as to
preserve his body from bruises or lacera-
tions. A wire with a sponge attached,
which was saturated with chlorotorm, was
inserted through a hole in his den and
and placed over his nostrils. At first he
showed fight, became quite angry, struck
wildly at the sponge with his venomous
fangs, but the powerful anesthetic was too
much for him, and he soon began to get
away from it. He was followed around the
cage with the wire for a half hour, but, as
a bystander remarked, "chloroform had no
more effect on rattlesnake than whisky
does on q Democrat" and other methods of
administering it were resorted to. A
syringe was loaded, and by that means the
liquid was thrown upon his head with
considerable force, filling his eyes and nos
trils. This was too much for him. and he
soon succumbed to the powerful sleep
producer.

The Calaveras " Chronicle,

EDS. RECORD UNION | saw paragraph
in your paper announcing the commence
ment of the thirty-seventh volume of the
Calaveras Chronicle on the 10th instant, and
consequently the close of the thirty-sixth
year of the existence of that paper. This
is an error. The first number of the Ciron-
icle was issued on the 18th of October,
1851, so that there is mistake of eight
days in this announcement. The files of
the Chronicle were destroyed in the fire
which swept Mokelumne Hill in 1874, and
from this fact, doubtless, the error has &C.
CURED. As this kind of data may hereafter
possess historical value, / deem it worth
the while to make this correction.

Police Court.

In the Police Court yesterday Mary
Spain was tried on charge of petit larceny,
in stealing some articles belonging to Mrs.
Jones. a pretty good case was made out,
but the City Attorney had forgotten to in
troduce evidence showing the value of the
property, and, as there could not be a lar
ceny unless something valuat lie was taken.
the defendant was discharged 1.-The case
of Otto Witt, charged with threats against
the life of his wife, was heard and taken
under advisement until this morning..
Robert Rowe. arrested for having been
drunk, was discharged, on his promising to
never do so again 49,. Fred Hughes pleaded
guilty of having disturbed the peace, and
will be sentenced this morning. Mrs.
Hughes similarly charged, demanded trial
and her case will also come up at to-day's
session Joseph Edwards pleaded guilty
of malicious mischief, in cutting up the
clothing of Kittie E. Gordon, because she
would not live with him. and he was fined
500, with the alternative of 100 DAYS i'm
prlsonment......Johnny Cole, a little bow
who, with others, stole a boat belonging
to A. Pixley, was allowed to 90 on
his Own recognizance until Saturday morn
iDg......The cases of G.. w. Warner and
Mollie Jones, against whom there were
three Charges OF petty larceny, were taken
up. Two of the offenses are alleged 10 have
been committed at the Capital Hotel. from
which parasol and fur-tippet were
stolen, and the other at a clearinghouse,
where gold ring, property of Mrs. Effie
Meagher, was appropriated, all about fair
time. The charge relative to the parasol
was tried first. City Attorney Hart prose
cuted, w. A. Anderson and l. S. Brown
appeared for Mrs. Jones, and ]. C. Devine
for Warner. Mr.. and Mrs J. H. Rice. of
Dixon, testified, the latter to the ownership
of the parasol, and the former to its having
been taken from the hat-rack outside the
dining-room of the hotel. After other
testimony, Mrs. Jones was put on the stand,
and after she had testified relative to her
intimate relations with Warner, before
coming 10 Sacramento and while in this
city, the larceny charges against her were
dismissed and she testified against Warner,
to the effect that he gave her the parasol.
The trial occupied all of the afternoon, and
will be resumed this morning. ..... Lee Yee's
case of assault to murder was continued
until to-day for argument.

Citrus Interests.

The Marysyille appeal of yesterday had
the following: "If some internal old
chronics could not find something on
which to place their criticisms Marysville
would not be Marysville. The latest to
which these non-interested gossiping good
for-nothings have directed their attention,
or at least part of them, is concerning
the benefits to be derived from citrus fair
in northern California Argument with
such people, who are always pre-disposed
against anything tending to the advance
ment Of community, is worse than use
less, since it gives them encouragement.
1t is to be hoped however, that the next
citrus fair will be greater success than the
previous one, and that the people of Yuba
and Suffer counties will form an organiz-
alton which will have for its object the adj
vancement of the citrus fruit interest. BY
means of such an organization Yuba and
Sutter can jointly make such display at
the coming fair that will put to shame all
such exhibits as were made last year. All
who have trees should take the best care of
them and the fruits thereon, for, if no
local organization is made, the interests of
the State Citrus Association, for which n.
d. Rideout and C. B. Kimball act in this
county, will demand large supply. At
the present time many individuals are pre-
pairing for the anticipated event

His Bail Bond FILED.

Arthur D. January's bail bond was COM
pleted. approved by Judge Mcfarland, and
filed Tuesday evening, and he was released
from custody. 1t was July 31st that the
Superior Court admitted him to bail in the
sum of $4,000, pending the result of his
appeal to the Supreme Court, taken in
June, 1885, from the sentence of the Su-
perior Court of ten years imprisonment
for embezzlement, and since July he has
been anxiously waiting for the bond to be
filed. When at last it was presented and
approved, and he was told that he was at
liberty, his feelings fairly overcame him,
and for few minutes he could scarcely
contain himself. He has been in poor
health during the latter part of his confine-
ment and is very thin in flesh, but the
pleasure of being about again filled him
with animation yesterday, and gave him a
healthy appearance. The following sure
ties are on the bond, which is in double
the amount fixed by the Court, about half
the sum being represented by residents of

That Baseball Game

The Atlas are willing to close an agree
~ment for match with the GREENWOOD &
Morans, but the proposition of the man
ager of the latter to play thes men that
took part in last Sunday game can scarcely
be agreed to. They will agree to play a
nine composed of the regular members who
have PLAYED during the summer, but not
any new men, and allow the Greenhoods
the same privilege. 1t should be under
stood that it is not the Alta Club that pro-
poses to do any betting on the result of the
match to decide the ability of the organiza-
tons, but its friends 1t seems probable
that there will have to be different ar
rangement from that proposed as regards
umpires. J. NJ. Sullivan states positively
that he will not act, II. G. Chapman has
heretofore declined to umpire for game in
which the Greenhoods play, and the Atlas
would not show good judgment if they ac-
cepted MrVan Court who has shown them
that his sympathies are with the Oakland
club. Whatever is done toward having a
match will have to be done quickly, as the
rainy season may cause annoying post
pOnements.
