: ssassination of John b. stanton,

Cox & Clarke yesterday received a tele-
gram from Redding, stating that the fore
man upon their ranch in Shasta county.
about seven miles from Fall river, was
assassinated about 10 o'clock Friday night.
The murderer shot Stanton through the
window with shotgun, killing him in
stantly. Mr.. Clarke, Immediately upon re-
ceipt OF the dispatch, sent Judge Scion S.
Holl to the scene of the murder to ascer-
tain the facts relative TO the killing, and to
forward the remains to this city for inter.
ment, if possible. Mr.. Clark says he ows
OF no reason for the commission of tie act
as the deceased was quiet, respectable and
inohensive individual. His only difficulty.
and that was not of q serious nature, was
dispute with woman regarding the title
Of some land. John B. Stanton, was n
Russian by birth, and came from Herki-
mer county, New York, to California. in
1919. He was noted stage-driyer. and as
such widely known throughout this State
in the early days prior to the time of rail
roads. For several years he was proprietor
of the Dexter liyery-stables in this CITY.
For the past fifteen years he has been in
the employ of Cox & Clarke, and ALWAYS
regarded by them as being one of their
most trustN orthy employees He has no
relations living in California. Wyman
McAItchell, who came to California with
deceased, said the latter had a brother
oliver, in lS49 and mother. both OF
whom resided in the State of New York.
The mother died several years since. The
deceased leaves an estate of the yalue of

Fair Oaks Corps, No. 49, w. r. c., is at
present the most enthusiastic and prosper
GUS institution OF its character upon the
coast. Its membership is now far in excess
of 100. and ladies' names sufficient to swell
the roll to 200 are already proposed At
present their headquarters are in the Lewis
block, southeast corner of J and Fifth
streets. Their rooms are handsomely fit
ted up, supplied with all the requisite para
phcrnalia, carpeted and furnished through
out in the most substantial manner, the
walls hung with tapestry and oil paintings,
etc. A piano and organ are prominent
pieces of furniture, and it is said that out
OF their entire membership there is not one
swho cannot play on one or both of those
instruments. 1t is a philanthropic and
charitable institution, and, as such, has done
much toward relieving suffering humanity
They go about doing good, and as one lady
whom they had kindly cared for, remarked
few days before her death, God bless
those beautiful ladies. Theirs really are
angels visits" Some weeks since this
corps decided to have its name changed
from " Warren to Fair Oaks" A dis
pensation was asked, the same granted
and, presto change" it was accomplished.
The ladies evidently do not believe in the
saying, A name-what's in name? A
rose by any other name would smell as
sweet, tor they hailed this change with
marked pleasure, second only to that event
which would change their own name for
that of the man of their choice.
Last evening Mrs. w. A Henry. on be-
half of several ladies of this city, at a
meeting in their hall, presented the corps
with an elegant silken banner, which was
manufactured by Daniel Norcross & Co. in
San Francisco. The banner is about five
feet in length, consisting of a white field
with red border, fringed with heavy gold
lace. At the upper edge of the white field
directly underneath the word a. Fair-Oaks."
is shield, the badge of the corps, with
their letters, F. C. and L" in monogram
their motto: Fraternity, Charity and
Loyalty" The red border is decorated
with oak twigs, leaves and acorns. On the
reverse side appears the date of the insti-
tuition of the corps.

An Enterprisinp solicitor

A few days since a smooth-tongued indi-
yidual paid his respects to Gait, says the
Gazette and began soliciting orders
from our business men tor Job printing.
He captured several orders here and in
Hicksyille that we know Of, and doubtless
quite nunb-r that viii come to light later
in the season. He took the work at very
low rates and collected the cash in adj
vance. lie then went to Sacramento and
sold the orders to printing firms in the
Capital City, who executed Slsem and sent
their work to the various parties by ex-
press, C.. Q. ID. 1t was not until the arrival
OF the packages that anything wrong was
suspected and when two Jobs of the same
kind arrived from two different offices for
the same party in Hicksville. the village
blacksmith of that thriving burg turned a
handspring and yelled murder" 1t then
transpircd that the job printing solicitor
had not only collected the coin from those
ordering the work, but obtained a fat COM
mission for it from at least two Sacramento
printing offices and then skipped by the
light OF the moon" BY the way, does anv

ans, Jr., the advertising solicitor, who col
lected money for the. erection of the Grant
memorial fund, and then skipped thd

, Atlas VS.. PIONEERS.
The Home Club Beaten by Errors-Other
Games.


The Atlas came to grief yesterday after
noon in their game with the Pioneers,
being beaten to and an inning to spare
They started in WELL but were oyer-con-
fident, and in the sixth inning the Pioneers,
who when they went to the bat were one
tally behind, turned the tables in conse-
quence of a number of errors by their OPP
ponen;s. and made three runs, which gave
them lead the Atlas were unable to close
up afterwards. There was some very pretty
work done at times, and the game was
always SO close as to be very interesting.
Robertson and Mclaughlin carried off the
honors of the Atlas, and Fisher and Nc
MuIlln OF the Pioneers. Fisher does not
belong to that club, but was substituted for
Duyall, who did not come up. He is now
resident of Sacramento, and it is surpris-
ing that the Atlas have not engaged him.

lie has very effective delivery, and caused
some OF the best men OF the Atlas to fan.
de yesterday showed an irrepressible de-
sire to get out OF the box" There was
some good batting done, Fisher and Barry
making three baggers, and Hayes and
Meagher also doing well. During the game
a foul ball which went behind the bat with
great force, struck Powers mask and
wedged itself between the wires. remaining
there until pulled out. Another foul hit
McLaughlin's mask with such force that
the wire cut him over the right eye Ahern
and Robertson barked their knees
severely in sliding to bases. The audience
was appreciative of good playing, no mat
ter by whom made, and the visiting club
certainly had no cause to find fault in that
respect, and not little bit with the umpire
If some of the decisions that were rendered
against the Atlas yesterday were decided in
that manner against the Haverlys and
GREENWOOD Il MOrans they would growl for
week, but the Atlas took it in good part,
believing that the umpire was doing what
he thought to be right. Following is the
score:

FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR BATAvIA.-Last
evening as the S-o'clock passenger train
was coming up from San Francisco the
engineer noticed a man lying alongside the
track and at right angles with it, his head
resting upon the end of a tie. The train
could not be stopped before it reached him.
but it was hoped it would pass over with
out touching him, but such was not the
case. The front wheels of the tender
cleared his head, but it is supposed that he
awoke then and was in the act of raising
his head when bolt in the bottom of the
axle box fractured his skull, scattering his
brains in every direction. The train
stopped, took his body on board and con-
veyed it to Dixon, where an inquest will be
held this morning. Deceased was named
A. James, and worked at Taylor's dairy,
three miles from Batavia He had been in
that town during the day, drinking freely.

Der of Arizona quail, which he placed in

therefore soon made themselves at home
and laid many eggs, but were accidentally
disturbed and abandoned the nest Mr.
Foster placed fifteen of the eggs beneath
bantam hen that wanted to set. but big
hen, similarly inclined, got into the nest and
broke five of the eggs. However, the little
hen performed her work well. and now is
real curiosity with her cunning little
children, not bigger than ones thumb, and
capable of hiding behind feather. The lit
tlefellows look, as the ladies would say, too
sweet for anything" especially when one
flies upon his mothers head, looks inquir-
ingly into her eye, and then tries with his
bill TO find out what it is.
