COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
LOTTERY AGENTS.

Why is it that men are sent all over
the State in the interest of tho lottery
amendment? It is said that the Adop-
ton of amendment no. % will add
$40. O00 annually to the school funds
and yet we see no one rustling for votes
in its behalf. Does anyone suppose
that these lottery agents arc canvassing
the State in tho interest of the peoplep
If, as il reported, there is fund of
$3.50, 900 to be used in securing tho
adoption Of Amendment 20. that alone
should be good evidence that there is
bonanza for the ring i'll the adoption of
the lottery scheme. 1t does not require
the expenditure of quarter of a mill
lion dollars to secure the adoption of
good, wholesome laws, aud if it did,
there would be no one generous enough
to put up tho coin. Those meu who are
visiting every town in the State in the
interest of tho lottery scheme are not
doing it for nothing, it costs money;
and some ono foots the bills. II tho
adoption IF Amendment % was for the
general welfare Of the Sta to there would
be no agents travelling in it's behalf,
neither would there have been . special
election.

have been arrested on a charge of selling
liquor without license and are out on

the grape crop of this district shows it to

The MarysVille and Yuba City canneries
are finding the fruit supply better than it
was expected early in the season, and are
furnishing work Tor all the hands theg can
get. The Msrysville Cannery to-day had
235 white hands, including men, women
and children, in addition TO % Chinese,
whose places would readily be given to
white hands if the latter were forthcoming.
The payroll amounts to about 81 500 .

The prospects for long and steady run

a special order is being filled for peaches
in balfpound cans, to be sold on railroad

Young Bierce Shoots Mr.. and Mrs. Hubbs
and then Suicides

Young Bierce Shoots Mr.. and Mrs. Hubbs
and then Suicides.
CHICO, July 26Ih.-The most sensational
tragedy in the history of the town occurred
this afternoon.
Saturday evening, it will be remembered
Eva Atkins, who was engaged to Raymond
Bierce, son of Ambrose Bierce, the well.
known San Francisco journalist, eloped
with stabieman Neil Hubbs on the eve oi
her marriage with Bierce.
The runaway couple returned to-day and
paid visit to The brides parents.
Bierce know of the contemplated visit
and, on the pretense of being sick, went to
the house of the brides mother and was
invited to lie on the bed in the room ad-
joining the parlor.
Shortly after the newly-wedded pair ar
rived. Bierce Immediately entered the
parlor, and, drawing revolver, fired shot
AT Hubbs. Hubbs fell, but mediately
drew his own pistol and returned the fire.
After each had fred four shots Hubbs
succeeded in escaping from the house.
Bierce then turned and fired at Mrs.
Hubbs. She fell with bullet-wound in
her head
When Hubbs heard his wife scream be
re entered the house and grasping Bierce
by the throat hammered him on the head
with his revolver until he dropped to the
ground. Hubbs then carried his wife to q
neighbor's house.
After Hubbs left the room, Bierce, hay
ing regained consciousness, reloaded his
pistol aud blew his brains out He died
shortly after.
Hubbs was shot in the spleen and is
probably fatally wounded Mrs. Hubbs is
severely, but not dangerously, wounded
behind the right ear
Young Bierce died almost instantly from
the wound inflicted by his own hand. The
ball entered the left temple and went right
through his bead, coming out at the right
side. His father has been telegraphed for
The inquest will be held tomorrow morn
ing. His body is now at the morgue.
Mrs. Hubbs, it appears, is but slightly
hurt. Bierce, in shooting her, held the
pistol close to her head, back of the right
ear. But she had thrown her head to one
side and the bullet went through her ear
above the left lobe. The surrounding
parts are badly powder burnt
The young man Hubbs, at last accounts,
was resting easy, but he is in precarious
condition. The bsll entered the spleen
and passed through, and is supposed to
have dropped down among he intestines,
as probing failed TO locate L. The doctor
says there is one chance t.a Tor his get
ting we'll.
There is considerable feeling here against
Mrs. Burney, who allowed the young
couple 10 visit her h,5lse while Bierce was
still stopping there.
