CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.
Traced by Teaus of n Hat nnd
Cane.

Cane
As neat bit of detective work as has
been done in some time was that accom-
plished late last night by Detectives
Bowler and Mckenzie, OF Chief Cuddy's
force. Thursday night, at about IL
o'clock, young man, neatly attired,
entered the Gold Room saloon on South
Spring street, near Third. The place was
well filed with patrons, and the bar
tender in charge was waiting on GUS
toner at the further end Of the bar. The
young man walked boldly up to the mid
die of the bar, opposite which, on q side
board, were lying several dollars in
silver. In moment he had jumped on
tue bar, leaned over it, and grabbed
handful of silver. He endeavored to
rush from the place, but several
men intercepted him. A struggle en-
sued, during which the thief escaped.
leaving his hat and cane behind him.
The proprietor at once reported the af-
fair to Police headquarters and Bowler
and Mckenzie were put TO work on the
case. They succeed in tracing the thief,
and last night ran him to earth in base
ment Oh upper main street. The man
was taken to the police Office and there
gave the name Of Charles Louis Green.
When searched $3.50 in money, q NOR
phine injector, several keys and knife
and nippers were found upon him. He
wore a new straw hat and the one left
in the saloon fitted him exactly. He
stoutly denied his guilt. He was locked
up, charged with robbery.

AN EDITORIAL ENCOUNTER
EnIivens the Peaccfui Precincts OF
Riverside.

Enlivens the Pcnccfui Precincts OF
Riverside.
The news of an exciting incident at
Riverside foated to this city yesterday
evening, and from statements made the
affair at one time bade fair to be unusual
ly interesting. Itappears that the River
side Tribune last Sunday published. an
article in reference to sheep ranch
owned by Rev. H. D. Connell, of River
side, which article was replied to by the
Riverside Press in its issue of the 14th
inst. The Press stated that Rev. Mr..
Connell had taken card OF denial to the
editor of the Tribune, who begged to be
excused from printing it on the ground
that ii the retraction were made he would
be discharged. The tone of the article
in the Press did not exactly suit the ed
itor OF the Tribune, who, Mr.. Holt, editor
of the Press, states, is very large and
powerful man. The two editors met on
the street at Riverside yesterday morn
ing and pugilistic encounter had started
when other parties interfered and saved
both from the results of too close init
macy with each others fists. The future
remarks of both papers on the subject
will be read with interest by the people
of Riverside.

day. and every day in the year, is thus
worked GU as fortunate. Indifferent, or
unlucky in the astrOloger's books of fate.
B,sides these calendars they have as
their stock in trade a plumb line, a level,
Il celestial sphere and an astroIabe. The
astrolabes are in the form OF a gigantic
watch and are often beautifully made.
Every large town contains at least two
astrologers, and they are very far from
being poor. \ Persian may md an astrol-
oger very useful, especially ii he be an
