The latest nuisance at baseball games is
the q chestnut gong" AT Alameda last

cision that did not please the crowd. There
was a grand " ding, cling, ding" when UNI
pire Van Court rendered a decision by
which the Atlas lost a run they were en-
titled 10. The -" D0yS nave been caStlng
about to find the cause of their being beaten
so badly during the last two games, and
four causes have been assigned for the bad
luck: S%weeney's failure in the box dis
couraged the other players; the club has
not had enough practice lately it was bad
luck to put Robertson at the foot of the
batting list; and. worst of all, the Atlas
mascot, Newbert, has been out of town

passed through yesterday, taking to San

known as a romancer in this city, as well
as in Butte and other counties. At the
time the officers were e~ndeavoring to get a
clue to the Kay murder at Folsom he in
formed some of the Sacramento police that
he knew who the murderers were, had
talked with them, and was certain they
had gone TO Auburn. He was so positive,
and gave so many details, that he almost
got some of them to go on q w~ild-goose
chase to that town. Dan is very strong
when it comes to hunting and fishing sto-
ries, and quite frequently parties who re,
turned from such excursions, and told
wonderful tales of what they had seen and
done, were asked if they hadn't met
Grizzly Dan" Oh, yes Dan, as a com.
bined liar and drinker, was hard to beat
