y. II. Nicholl, formerly of this city, who
was run over by a locomotive at Roseville,

his leg had to be amputated is progressing
well toward recovery.

Notarics Public, as follows: John L. Ward

C. Hamilton, Ukiah W. II. Aiken, High
land; B. +. Eichtmyer, Jackson Daniel

News was received in this city last even
ing of the death of w. Ii. Gibbs, father of
Willard 5. Gibbs, at Yountville. The latter
is well known in this city, and a brother-in-
lE ff ( lot
to TOuntyille last evening.
The name of the gentleman nominated
by the Republican County Convention. for
Supervisor from the Fifth District, is J. C.
Sawyer, and not j. II. Sawyer, as has been
published. Both gentlemen reside in Gait,
ana both are Republicans.
The steamer San Joaquin No. 4 arrived
from San Francisco yesterday, with mer-
chandise and lumber, and the D. T. Knight
from Marysville with grain, en- route to
the bay. The steamer Flora cleared for
the upper Sacramento, light.
It would seem that fully one third of the
residents of the city are either now suffer
ing or just recovering from the worst cold
ever had in my life and the drugstores
have been doing a fine business in cough
medicine. All of which was caused, doubt
less, by the recent change from hot to cool
weather.
Chief Dillman yesterday directed the
force to commence systematic operations
against tramps, and gentry of that class in
testing the city will be in luck if they do
not find themselves swelling the list of
prisoners in the County Jail, which list is
now SO small that the jailers are lonesome.
At this season of the year there is no ex-
cUse for being tramp.
Theodore f. Tracy, brother of Felix
Tracy, of this city, died suddenly at San
Francisco yesterday mo ming. Deceased
was for nine years Postotlice Inspector on
this coast, and held q responsible position
with Wells, Fargo & Co. for several years.
He formerly resided in FL Dorado county,
but has lived in San Francisco for the past
ten years. His integrity, business ability
and popularity caused him to be spoken of
as candidate before the next Republican
| State Convention, for the nomination for
| State Treasurer.
A well-known Sacramentan concluded
last evening that hot corn, piping hot )"
| would be novelty for an evenings lunch
| at home, and purchased half dozen ears
| at one of the street corner stands. The
seller buttered each ear nicely, and put
| the whole in paper bag. The buyer was
|
way home, the butter creased the bag to
such an extent that the corn soon made a
hole in it, and as he went along the street
| the corn broke through, small boys picked
! it up, and when he got home he had only
two ears left in the bag, but had saved the
| butter-on his clothing.
The wounded Celestials at the Station
house were again showing indications of
| improved condition yesterday. All Geung,
who was shot through the shoulder, is only
suffering from flesh wound, and will soon
| be all right All Chees wound in the lower
part of the chest, is a puzzle, as there is no
means of knowing what injury the bullet
inflicted. The patient suffers more pain
on the side of the body opposite TO that in
which the bullet entered than in the latter,
| and it is possible that the bullet glanced
and ran around. All Chez has evidently
formed high opinion of the surgery of
| Mclean doctors, as he urgently requested
| the City Physician yesterday to cut him
open and take the bullet out.
