Mention was made yesterday that the
family of John Cooke, whose saloon and
residence on Front street, between NJ and
n, were destroyed by fire Wednesday morn
ing, believed the fire to have been an in
cendiarism, and that it was started outside

Joaquin Company states that it started in
side the building, and was burning fiercely
before he could succeed in arousing the
sleeping family.
Last evening a man named R. Wilson
was arrested by officer Sullivan on sus-
picion of having stolen baby carriage
which he was trying to sell. He offered to
sell it to the officer, and then expressed his
desire to rattle it off, and wanted the officer
to take chance. Sullivan concluded he
would take chance with the man as well
as the buggy Any person whose baby is
mourning the loss of its carriage will do
well to call at the station-house.
hh Sam, a greasy-coated Mongol, ap
piled for treatment at the receiving hos
pital in San Francisco Wednesday after
noon and complained of being very sick.
The police surgeon found the mans back
to be thickly peppered with fine shot.
Sam would give no explanation OF the
affair further than to say in broken Eng
lish that he was shot in Sacramento two
days ago. 1t was thought that the Celes-
tial is a chicken thief and that he was shot
while attempting to rob a roost, but the
police of this city have not had any such
circumstance reported to them.
A rather remarkable proceeding is re-
ported to have been engaged in Wednesday
evening by Miss Sadie Hammel and ]. B..
Humphrey and Henry Mitchell, all of
whom reside in Sacramento county, few
miles from the city. The young men were
rival suitors for her hand, she could not
tell which she liked best, and the party
came to the city that evening, and by
agreement she remained sitting in vehicle
on X street, while the two young men went
into the Peerless saloon and played a game
of poker to see which should retire from
the contest for her affections. Humphrey
won the game and drove off with the young
lady. while Mitchell drowned his sorrow in
the flowing bowl To the general reader it
will appear as if matters might have been
conducted with more regard for the young
lady's comfort during the game, but if she
was satisfied there is no occasion for any
one else to feel badly.
