raked down handsome pot of money at

great race of the day was for the Realiza-

brought together-as the telegraph informs
us-ihe most prominent turfmen from all

one and ive-eighths miles, and the colt Sal
vator Won it in 2:51, with Mclaughlin in
the saddle. 1t is described as great race
and memorable turf event. Between

THE MISSING DENTIST.

DIR. Barrett's Sacramento Friends Dis
credit Rumors About Him.
The Sacramento friends of Dr. C. G.
Barrett who figures in sensational item
in Red Bluff paper, are disposed to look
upon the affair in rather different light to
that in which it is made to appear. Par
ties here who have known him from boy
hood think it impossible that he should
have deserted his ONE. They say be was
regarded here as the soul of honor, and
think be would be the last man to pursue
such course. He was happily married
some years ago, and has always lived in
perfect harmony with his wife and family,
was greatly devoted to them, and in every
way showed his affection for them. For
some days before his sudden departure he
complained frequently of violent pain in
mis- head, which his relatives thought to be
from the effects of injuries received by a
fall some years ago. 1t seems quite prob
able that he has wandered away during
some slight mental alteration. His wife
says that no family jars had occurred, and
she is sure he had found no other attach

NOT FOR THEIR HEALTH.

Gypsy Fortune-Tellers not Attract
Here by the Climate.
The other day two gypsy women ap-
preached man on Front street and asked
him if he did not desire to have his for
tune told. He resolved to try his luck,
and the women soon had him under their
control and demanded a fee of 81, which
the almost mesmerized victim handed over.
The two dusky astrologers then left, and
after the man had come to his senses he re-
ported the affair TO the police. An officer
was sent out to the gypsy camp, and the
women told him that the man had given
them the money without objection. They
called at the Police-station yesterday morn
ing and offered to give back the coin to
the man If he desired it, and the offer was
accepted.
One of the women said, when asked if
she did not consider s. an exorbitant
amount, e Why, no, we sometimes charge
as high as $50, according to the questions
asked and the answers given" Address
ing herself 10 Captain Karcher, she said :
Why, s. is nothing one of your own
officers gave me $50 yesterday for telling
his fortune"
Several officers who overheard the re-
mark were rendered almost speeches. at
the idea of policeman paying $50 to have
his fortune told, while three months sala-
ries are due from the city.

PISCATORIAL POISON.

A Substance Discovered That is Death to
Catfish and Carp.
Deputy Fish Commissioner Frank Anaya
was in town yesterday, having come here
to consult with Fish Commissioner Reuter-
in regard to the prosecution recently insti-
tuted in Calsveras county against smelt-
ing company for emptying their refuse into
the Mokelumne river, thereby killing
great many fish. Mr.. Anaya says that the
numerous chemical substances that are al
lowed to run into the river have already
somewhat discolored it, and carp, catfish,
salmon and other specimens of the finny
tribe are being killed off in such rapidity
as to justly cause alarm. At different
places the bank is strewn with dead fish.
and if this state of affairs is permitted to
continue, fish in that stream will soon be
scarce, as also will they in the San Joaquin
river, into which the Mokelumne empties.
Commissioner Reuter- has instructed Mr..
Anaya to employ lawyer L. J. Maddux, of
Modesto, as special counsel to assist in the
prosecution

a Child Narrowly Misses Being Crushed
Under Street Car.
On Sunday evening an accident hap
pened to little child named Roswell,
whose parents reside near Fifteenth and o
streets. One of the street. cars had gone be.
yond switch, and it became necessary to
back it few feet. While the driver was
engaged in so doing number of children
climbed upon the rear platform, and one of
them got crowded off and fell upon the
track. One wheel of the car, which was
moving slowly, struck the child's leg and
stopped, and the horse imme diately bound
ed forward again. This was all that saved
the little one from being crushed to death
Hearing its screams, the driver FASTENED to
the rear and found that the child's leg had
been badly lacerated and bruised at the
knee, but that, fortunately, no bones were
broken
The frequency of such accidents should
impress upon parents the necessity for
more closely looking after their children.
Only couple months ago boy fell under
the wheels of train on the north levee
and met a terrible death, and yesterday an
elght-year-old boy was hobbling about the

few weeks ago. Children are allowed to
run after cars and wagons and climb upon
them, day and night, and the only wonder
Is that more Of them are not killed.

In the Police Court.

Justice Devine presided in the Police
Court yesterday in the absence of Judge
Buckley, and City Attorney Church acted
both as clerk and attorney.
Charles Gregory was convicted of a
charge of battery committed on China
man about two months ago, and fined

same heather for an assault the other day
was dismissed.
Charles Cannon, charged with battery
upon his wife, had his case continued until
to-day, in order to subpoena additional wit
nesses. The testimony of two unimport.
ant witnesses for the prosecution was
heard and the case went over.
William Cannon will be tried for vagrancy
to-day.
Maurice Pendegast, boy not yet IS years
of age, was in for being intoxicated on the
public streets. He had been arrested bv
officer Morelli but only after a strenuous
resistance. Judge Devine took pity on the
unfortunate lad, and after giving him some
good advice allowed him to go.

Harry Howard, a barber, and Harry
Steel waiter in a down town restaurant,
got into row yesterday over woman,
and agreed TO settle the dispute with their
fists. They adjourned to Norton's saloon
on X street, where they were given the use
OF q back room in which to hold their
levee. The battle was a bloody and un-
scientific one, and was according to the
London prize ring rules. Only one round
was fought, but that was of twenty-five
minutes duration. Howard was the
heavier of the two, and his weight told
fearfully on Steel. The latter stood up as
long as he could and fought desperately,
but finally had to succumb.

All that Glitters is Not Gold.

Commencing with the present month
(the beginning of the Twenty-first fiscal
year. the recent Act of the Legislature goes
into effect, increasing the salaries of the
janitors in the Capitol building from $25 to
$40 per month. The increase is hailed
with delight by some, but others conclude
that it was a bad move. While all the
jsnitors were receiving SIS per month no
one was particularly anxious for the Job,
and hence there was no great rush of ap-
plicants, but since it was increased to $40
the position became worth looking after.
1t is said, TO the sorrow of some of the pres
ent incumbents, that they will not be given
pull at the replenished teat, but will
shortly make way for new men.

the country went into K-street restaurant
for his dinner. Among other dishes
ordered was one of green corn, and as some
of his teeth troubled BIN whenever he
tackled that succuient article o. food for
man and beast, lie concluded to remove
them until the job was ended. so he placed
them on the table beside him, neatly at.
tached to gold plate. When he had
finished his meal he paid his bill, amount.
ing to two dollars, and departed. The
table was next occupied by couple OF

teeth and decamped, leaving the owner tc
