NEATLY DosE.-About ! o'clock last
evening the telephone companys horse,
attached to buggy, entered upon a run
away from Third and J streets, where he
had been left unhitche !, and dashed up
street 1T q furious pace. y colored boy
named Small, employed in barber shop
on street, near Third, ran after the buggy
as it passed him, climbed into its rear end,
moved forward, caught hold of the lines
and managed to stop the horse before he
reached Fifth street, though for a while his
ride was a perilouS one. People on the
sidewalk who witnessed the feat applauded
the youth heartily, ard seemed to think
that he should have received more of re-
ward than the g Thank YOU he got when
he returned the horse to his owner.
SENT OUT OF THE WAY.-The police have
been keeping an eye open for the advent in
the city of some of the piclpockets who
came to the coast recently from the East to
work the Encampment," and yesterday,

augh, an expert member of the telnity,
was in town, Chief Dillman and officer
Sullivan hunted him up and lodged him
-, h. - - e IL,
during the visit of the veterans of the
Grand Army to Sacramento. a companion
of his is said to be in the city, and if he
is, he will receive the same treatment as
Cavanaugh. The latter expressed a wish
yesterday to be allowed to return to the
East, and will probably do so when he
again has his liberty.
ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED. - Yesterday
afternoon, about o'clock, VIM. L. Atwood,
aged about II years, son of Captain Atwood,
went in bathing in pond made by the
overlooking of the American river in the
vicinity Of Twenty-third and A streets.
Either from cramp, or some other cause, he
became unable to take care of himself and
was drowned. Two little boys who were
present but unable to render any assistance
ran for aid, and the body was soon after
wards recovered. The bank of the pond
breaks oil suddenly into deep water, and
when the body was found it was close to
and underneath the top OF the bank. The

BASEBALL To-MoRRow.-At Agricultural
Park at 2:30 P. Il. tomorrow, the Los An

tour of the State, defraying the expense out
of their own pockets, and carrying chip"
on their shoulders for any club to knock
off that can, will play the Atlas. The Wis
itors are good ball-playeIs, have an excel
lent pitcher, and have some Of the swiftest
base-ruuners of any visiting club that ever
came here. Having such well-known
sprinters as Elwell, Clapp, Whitney and
Munroe, it is no wonder that they get
there Just the samen They arrived here
yesterday Barry thinks his arm is all
right again, and the Atlas will nave him in
the boz.
SCARCITY OF FIsH-Fishermen in this
vicinity report great scarcity OF fish of all
kinds, catfish, perhaps, excepted. On the
lower Sacramento and in the bays there
have been many salmon caught recently,
and it is said that one cannery had 900 on
hand last Monday morning. This run that
has set in has brought a number of fine
large fish, weighing as high as 80 or 10
pounds each. None of them have been al
lowed to get up the river as far as Sacra-
mentO. 50 far as the local fishermen are
aware. September will be q close month
the only one during which the fish are sup
posed to be protected by law. They should
have protection III August as well.
