Canine Faitbfu,ness to a Trnst

Not infrequently observe dog stand
ing guard over horse while the master of
the two animals makes call at some
downtown place of business, but / seldom
see the canine groom put in SO unpleasant
a situation or .extricate himself so cleverly
as he did in a case which | happened to
witness lately. 1t was cold day, and the
dog, sitting on his launches most of the
time, changed his position pretty often, as
one who found his seat uncomfortable, but
he never for moment took his eye from
the horse. Presently the latter member
of the party, who also began to find the
weather little chilly. started down the
street at fast walk This Mortified the
dog he leaped and barked in front OF the
offender with great vehemence, but failing
to stop his companion in this manner, he
ran up to gentleman whom he observed
on the sidewalk, and then back to the
horse. This he repeated two or three
times, barking all the while, until his
request was needed, and the stranger led
back the houyhnhum to his former place
at the curbstone. The dog thanked the
man with wag of his tail and resumed
his seat on the sidewalk with an evident
air of richardson Post

The Natoma Dam,

An appropriation has been made by the
Legislature for the purpose of removing
distractions at or near Salmon Falls to the
passage of fish up the South Fork of the
American river. The Observer has FREE
Quently called attention to this matter, and
says it is pleased TO note that through the
exertions of DIR. II. w Smith and their
members in the Legislature move in the
RICH. direction has been made. The object
now is to blast ont Salmon Falls sutfi-
GENTLY so that there may be no question as
to the passage of fish over them. This pre-
tended obstruction removed, then comes
the Natoms dam. which must be removed
also. unless proper fish ladders are
at once constructed to allow free passage.
The Fish Commissioners are in earnest
about the matter, and submit to no delay.
After all these distractions are removed
the citizens of Placerville will be able to
drive down to Chill Bar and catch salmon.

Ell DORADO REUNION
AT Coloma in Conjunction With Unvefl-
ing the Marshall Monument.

at COlOmd III Nltn CnVe1i-
ing the Marshall Monument.
It has been suggested by many people,
not alone in Ell Dorado county, but in diff
ferent parts of the State, says the Placer
vile Observer, that the Ell Dorado Pioneer
picnic and the unwilling of the Marshall
monument be held at the same time. This
seems to be good idea, as there are hun
dreds of men throughout the county who
struck camp here and at Coloma in 40,
who saw the mill race where the first piece
of gold was found, and saw the piece of
gold itself. They knew Marshall. and
desire to view the monument erected TO
his memory, as well as the faces OF old
pioneers who were thrown together from
all parts of the nation. Severed for the
| time being from home and kindred ties, it
was natural that friendships should grow
| up between them tha; can never die while
| they live.
Now if this arrangement can be made,
| and made early, that the Ell Dorado Coun-
| ty Pioneer picnic and the unwilling of the
Marshall Monument shall occur at Coloma
on the same day, during The latter part OF
| May, so thet il may be widely known, men
| will travel, not only hundreds, but thou
| sands of miles, 10 be present on that oc-
casion. We hope the proper authorities
will take this matter in hand and make
the arrangement early, so that every old
timer in the land may know it in time to
attend; and depend upon it, the old gray
headed fellows will be there.
The conditions in life of these old Pio-
neers are different. Many of them will
/ appear in broadcloth, while others will be

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
A SERIOUS CHARGE.

Charles III. Eldred Accused of Ballot
Box Stuffing.
On Tuesday night while the ballots were
being counted al Four-and-a-half Precinct,
Chas. H. Eldred, it is charged, stepped up
behind the Inspector, Mr.. Murray, and put
ting his arm around him placed his hand
over the ballot-box and dropped some bal
lots into the same which he had con-
cealed beneath his cuff. H. A. Bell,
who was watching the count to see
that all was straight, says thar be
cried out, The ballot-boxis being stuffed"
WHO is stuffing it ?" asked the Judges and
Inspector. There is the individual, cried
out Mr.. Bell, pointing to Charles H. FL
dred The latter turned very pale and left
the room. Afterwards Bell was called out
side ano Eldred sought a conversation with
him. He said he had only dropped one
ballot in the box. Bell said he heard bal
lots drop into the box and saw Eldred
shake his arm and another one fall in.
Three individuals who stood outside look
ing through the window, say they saw the
act, and think there were five or six ballots
dropped in, and they corroborate Mr.. Bells
statement.
The clerks tally lists showed that SOC
Dailots had been cast Alter the polls
closed the box was emptied into tub and
the ballots counted back into the box, and
it tailed exactly, there being just SOC.
When the votes were all tailed out S11
were found, showing that five had been
added after they had been counted.
Ies erday, to reporter, Eldred denied
the entire charge, saying that he had more
sense than to do such thing.
Ii is charged that in addition TO the four
men who claim they saw him drop in the
ballots there are three others to whom he
communicated the fact that he was going
to do this thing, and that they tried to per.
suade him from it, but that he insisted,
and would not listen to their advice It is
also charged that when he was in the act
of dropping in the ballots one of his friends,
who stood outside. tapped on the window
and motioned TO Eldred to desist: that he
looked up at his friend, shook his fist
and dropped in the ballots. The matter, il
is said, will come up before the Grand Jury
to-day. The RECORD UNION gives the state
ments as made by parties claiming to have
knowledge of the facts, and as they were
current upon the street yesterday. Com
mon justice demands that in the face of the
charges. and of the denial of Mr.. Eldred
public judgment be suspended until a Judi.
cial investigation can be had, and the ex.
act truth be placed on record. The people
of Sacramento, where Eldred has SO long
resided, will be as anxious to have it develop
that he is innocent as that the crime o!
stutfing the ballot-box shall not go unpun.
