A Yolo Granger Comes to Grief in His
Search for the Elephant.
On Monday Chris. Boil, an honest
granger of Woodland, came to this city for
vacation, and during the evening took a
stroll in the vicinity of Second and L
streets, with disastrous results, for he was
waylaid by two men and robbed. On yes
terday, at the police station, he said that il
was between the hours of and 10 O'Clock
on Monday evening, and he was walking
along the south side of L street, between
Second and Third. He noticed two men
come across the street, and one of them
tried to open the door of house. When
he was opposite where the man stood the
latter approached him with the remark,
What do you know" and before he had
time to tell him all the wonders he had
seen in the capital city in his search for the
elephant, he was felled TO the ground by a
terrific blow on the right temple.
When he came to his senses he found
that his silver watch and ten dollars in
gold, all he had, had vanished. and he
found his way with difficulty to the police
station, where he recited his story He says
one of the men was tall, strapping fell
low, and the other quite small. The I'M
lucky man intends to get back to his home
as soon as he can rake enough money to-

Novel Shooting Suits.

A prominent dealer in sportsman's goods
in this city has lately received novel
article in the way of suit for duck-shoot-
ers. 1t is made entirely of coarse grass, OF
a very tough and wlry character, woven
into thin and flexible mat, which is
made into kind of cloak, without sleeves.
On the outside the grass hangs down like
coarse hair, the whole enveloping the
wearer from shoulders to ankle. A cover
ing for the head of the same material COM
pletes the suit, the dead grass falling down
the contour of the form, and causing the
crouching hunter to look like bunch of
dead grass. The material has evidently
been subjected to some curing process that
makes it soft, pliable and tough. No wild
fowl is sharp enough to distinguish the
wearer from hump of tule grass.

An Explanation by Mr.. AIsip

EDS. RECORD UNION: In the published
proceedings of the Board of Trustees on
Monday my statement made before the
Board was not reported correctly, and
would lead one to infer that the City Rail-
way Company, represented by Mr.. Carey,
and the Central Street Railway Company
were going to use the same track, which
would be an impossibility, as the gauges
are not the same, and furthermore we had
not agreed to do so. My statement was
no trouble, as the Central Street Railway
Company would use one side of the street,
and the City Railway Company the other
but the law gave either company the right
to run cars over the same road for five
blocks, by their paying one-half OF the
cost of said road. Please make the correc-
ton, and oblige EDWIN X. ALsIP.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
w. p. Harlow Accused of Obtaining
Property by Fraudulent Means.

A complaint has been filed in Justice
Devine's Court wherein the plaintiff,
Martha E. Smith, has charged W. P. Har-
low with obtaining property under false
pretenses. Harlow has been arrested on
the charge, which will be heard by Justice
Devine this morning at 10 o'clock.
The complainant alleges that in Febru.
airy last Harlow fraudulently, willfully and
designedly represented to her that he was the
owner of so acres of land near Rocklin, Placer
county, adjoining the vineyard of E. l..
Hawk, and that it was worth $2,400. This
property he offered to deed to the CON-
pla;nant in exchange for certain real prop
erty owned by her in FL Dorado county.
In accordance Herewith, the complain
ant alleges, she executed a conveyance of
her property to Harlow, although, as she
now declares, Harlow is not and never has
been the owner of the land in Placer
county, as represented by him.

Officer Rowland found several boys play

and N streets, and he ordered one of them
to 60 with him to the police station, while
the others scattered in all directions. The
youth asked to be allowed to go home and
get his coat, and the request was complied
with, Rowland accompanying him. When
he quietly took leave of the officer, and
peeping over the fence exclaimed. Now,
you Just catch me if you can" Rowland
surveyed his own portly proportions for a
moment, and then walked away with an in
jured look. He was not in sprinting con-
dition thus early in the season.

CARPET-SWEEPERS!

There is no Carpet-Sweeper that will dig into cor

sweeping day like a broom. For lighter sweep
lng-such as is done from day to day-a good Car
pet-Sweeper is just effective. Besides, it saves
back aches, side aches is quicker and doesn't make
extra work by kicking up dust" A carpet
sweeper should be in every family just as much as
broom.
The best Carpet-Sweeper know of is the
9 Bisse1 and that is the kind we have commenced
to keep The maker says that over 100000 of
them have been sold, which is pretty strong rec
