No Parade Yesterday.
[srEo1AL TO THE sENrINEL.l

SAN FRANoIsoo. Dec. 20.-Owing TO the
announcement that the striking car men
would parade yesterday, under the aus
pices of the Federated Trades, a great
crowd OF people was attracted to the meet
ing place. which was in front OF the
Mint on Fifth street. After a few speeches
it was decided to abandon the parade,
owing to the published letter of Chief OF
Police Crowley, that if any trouble should
result, the Federated Trades would be
held responsible, and to the fact that the
militia was under arms at the armories.
No disturbances occurred during the day
except the %stoning Of u few cars on Geary
street by hoodlums.

ture.
A correspondent OF the Elko Ind epend-
ent writes as follows: Away up here in
Star Valley there are a few small farmers,
myself among them, who think the atsen-
ton Of our members-elect to the next
Legislature should be called to the present
method Of selling our State school lands.
for we fear that il the present method is
continued that in q few years all the good
lands in our State will be in the hands Of
a few individuals, aud that we will not
have increased but very little If any in
populations; that the settlement Of our
State will be greatly kept back, and that
the present objection to this State that IL
ia not an agricultural country will be
changed to this: Nevada is no place for q
poor man, for all the good lands arc in the
hands OF private individuals, and when
offered for sale, are held at high prices.
We think that the sale OF State school
lands should be stopped at once. except to
actual settlers and that the settler should
be required to live upon aud improve the
land for at least two years before being al
lowed to purchase, then to have the right
to buy 100 acres at ST % per acre on q
credit Of % years at 6 per cent interest
per annum. We slso think that there
should be a State Locating Agent APP
pointed, whose duty il should be to locate
as State school lands all the arabic lands
Tor best landsl bordering on streams or
springs and all lands that are irrigatsble
from the natural water courses, the loca-
lions TO be made as fast as the lands are
surveyed by the general Government aud
held by the State for actual settlers.
Heretofore there have heen more invit-
ing fields for the emigrant than the State
Of Nevada, but those fields are fast filling
up and soon the tide will turn towards
our State, and If we have lands to sell on
easy terms the emigrsnt will stop among
us, but il all the arabic lands are in the
hands Of individuals, held for grazing pur-
poses, there will be no inducements for
the emigrant to remain with US.

him twice whilst passing; that st. Clair
then shot twice at Jack, who retreated
apparently wounded, but could not be

Excitement on Alamo Street,

Oscar Hirschberg, formerly drummer
for Professor l.. Eyth, the artist in
Kampmann's building and who has
been boarding with Mrs. J. j. Poes-
mans on Alamo street, caused quite an
excitement on the streets this morning,
in the vicinity Of the LIGHT office.
1t appears that Hirschberg has been
boarding with Mrs. Poesman for the
past three months without paying for
same and when called on for a settle
meDt this morning he failed to square
up and adding insult to injury, began
abusing the lady who kindly trusted
him for that length of time. The loud
words which passed between both
parties, however, attracted quite a
crowd who seemed to sympathize with
Mrs. Poesman seeing this, he thought
that a good run was better than a bad
stand, he took to his heels, running be-
hind Wolff Il Marks store, through the
LIGHT office, and crossing Commerce
street, flanked his pursuers by going
through Scholz's saloon, but was finally
overhauled at Huermann Il Bros store
on Alamo plaza, and brought again to
where he started from, and held captive
until the arrival of an officer. Here his
troubles began to increase, he tried to
resist arrest, but the strong arm of the
law WAS too much for the genial Hirsch-
berg, and thinking discretion the
better part Of valor," consented to
accompany the officer to the Hotel de
Bat, where he will have no trouble
about board bills, the city very kindly
defraying such expenses.
