ANGELO DoMENTINI.-Judge Armstrong;
| Courtroom was densely crowded by those
| curious to obtain a look at Domentini, the
brutal ravisher of little Mary Weidman. 1t
had been announced that Domentipi would
plead guilty to a charge of rape and take
sentence. Previous to the opening of
Court, however, the prisoner, with the con-
sent of District Attorney Bruner, was
allowed 10 hold a short conversation with
friend and fellow-countryman, named
De Martini. After being arraigned and
hearing the complaint read, in answer to
| the Clerk S question as to his plea, guilty or
not guilty, he replied that he was not ready
to plead, and desired to engage counsel and
asked for a continuance. Judge Armstrong
allowed the prisoner until 10 o'clock this
morning to enter his plea ana secure coun-
sci for his defense.
STICK TO OLD NAMEs.-Some time since a
contemporary tried very hard TO change the
name Of the McCloud river to Cloud, but
was unsuccessful. The Shasta Courier saws
The name of Hat creek don't change any
more than McCloud. They have not got
to Ponsette and Mcleod yet The maps of
| the county, State and Government officers
reports say Hat creek station" "McCloud
river" and ~. S. Fishery, McCloud
river" Guess if some tenderfoot should
90 to Ireland, and after a few months res
idence undertake TO change the name of
Shannon to Victoria, or 90 to Scotland and
change the name of Doom to Bismarck,
there would be kick that would beat any
allowed in the highland fling. Stick to old
names.

Nor IL THE SwILL BUsINKss.-The fol-
lowing from the Napa Reporter is hard

any pluck, its readers would have been fur
nished some very interesting reading mat

| the benent of all such swine that the Re
