Claimed to Have Been Accidental.


Deputy Sheriff Karcher went down the
Riverside road yesterday afternoon armed
with a warrant charging James Lewis with
assault to murder in shooting Chinaman
in the face with rife, Sunday afternoon,
as mentioned in our last issue. Not know
ing what sort of a desperate he might have
to encounter, the officer took with him a
pair of handouts, and otherwise provided
for emergencies. Proceeding to the home
of the shooter, he inquired for him, and
learned from his father that he was at
school. This was somewhat surprising, as
it was supposed that he had got beyond his
school days. Going to the school Mr..
Lewis called his son out, when Karcher
had to smile when he saw before him
boy about II years of age, attired in
monkey Jacket and knee breeches As he
was the person for whom the warrant was
issued, he was brought to the city,
and subsequently taken before Justice
Post. who fixed his bail at $500 and
set the case for next Friday at 10
A. NJ. After giving the youth a little
soaring, intimating that he would have to
be locked up in jail, his father filed bail
bond for him. The boy says that he and
some others were out shooting birds with
little 22-caliber rifle, which one of his COM
panions owned. The owner of the gun
had been using it, and, after shooting at a
bird, went to house near by to get a
drink. Previous to going away he reloaded
the gun, but young Lewis asserts that he
did not know that he had done so, and
supposed that it was unloaded. The China
men coming along, he pointed the rifle at
one of them, saying, John, shoot you"
The Chinaman started to run, and hap
pened to look back just as the trigger was
pulled and the gun fred. Lewis says he
was as much astonished and scared as the
Chinaman when he saw what he had done.
While this may be the true version of the
case, it is said that he is not frst-class
good boy, of the angelic kind that always
die Young in the story books, but is addict
ed to throwing rocks at Cinnamon ard
other one-sided amusements.

YOSEMITE.
The Beautiful Valley Admirably De-
Ecrihed.

The Beautiful Valley Admirably De-
Rev DIR. Frost delivered lecture upon
Yosemite valley, last evening, before the
Young Mems Christian Association. Every
seat in the hall was occupied, and the lee
ture was one of the most pleasing and in
structive that has been delivered before
that Association. Charles NJ. Campbell
presided and made few appropriate re-
marks before introducing the speaker of
the evening.
The lecture commenced by reading pen
pictures of the Yosemite valley from q
number of eminent writers. These were
perfect gems. upon subject that admits of
the widest latitude, as the scenery is beauti-
full beyond description. To the poets the
grandest lyric, to the artist an immense
picture gallery, to the preacher sublime
sermon. The speaker has wonderful descrip-
tive powers, and his word painting was so
realistic that his audience almost realized
themselves in the valley, gazing at the ma
jestic wonders which he so admirably and
entertainingly described, interpreting the
whole with sallies of wit and anecdote
that kept all in the best of humor. He
visited the valley in July last with party
from this city. They went with a camping
outfit, and the Calaveras Big Tree or Oak
Flat route, which they travelled, was fully
described, together with interesting and
humorous camp scenes. The first thing
that particularly attracted their attention,
and what the doctor termed big thing"
was the tunnel or roadway through a
mammoth dead tree, which was some 40
feet in diameter. This tree, when in its
prime, must have been all of 400 feet in
hight, and its roots were sinking deep in
the earth in the days of Solomon. No
globe. Next they descended into the val
ley, and his descriptions of their first view
of the wonderful Bridal Vail Fall, Castle
Rock, Glacier Point, Ell Captain, Nevada
Falls, Yosemite Falls, the MERGED river and
other points, were grand.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE CITRUS FAIR AT CHICAGO

Arrangements are now about completed
to forward the Citrus Fair exhibits to Chi
cago, and the first load will leave, attached
to the overland train, tonight. Every one
in Central and Northern California is in
terested in the success of the forthcoming
exhibition to be held in Chicago. We de-
sire that not only a good quality of our
citrus fruits shall be placed before our East
ern people, but that the extent of the dis
play shall be creditable to u.s. Quite
large amount of the fruit that was ex-
hibited here last week cannot be for
warded. Some has become too ripe, and
much was carried away. The Directors of
the Citrus Fair Association, and those who
are to have charge of the, exhibition in
Chicago, feel that there should be large ad-
ditions. Dispatches were yesterday sent to
leading points in Placer, Yuba, Butte and
other localities asking that fresh supplies be
donated and forwarded Immediately to
the Association in this city, so that it may
be packed and sent with that already on
hand. There should be no hesitancy upon
the part of our people in supplying the
fullest demands for the occasion. Sacra-
meuto alone can forward, and not feel it.
an entire carload of excellent citrus fruits
to-day, and that is as much as is now re-
quired. The Capital City has well-earned
the reputation of doing well its part on all
occasions-let it come to the front now
Those who have oranges, lemons, etc., are
earnestly requested by the Directors of the
Association to send such samples as they
can spare, to the Citrus Fair building on
street to-day or tomorrow. Clusters of
fruit are very desirable, and also palm and
other tropical leaves, orange foliage, ETC.
Will each one having citrus fruits or foil
age, personally respond to the request
Parties living away from Sacramento are
also requested to send in contributions, and
if received on Wednesday, will be in time.
All boxes should be sent to Citrus Fair
Association Sacramento.
