Shared Him.

A young reporter of the Detroit Free
Pres caught the veteran editor of the
Grand Rapids Eagle in some kind of a
mare, and drew from him an interview
on Grand Rapids political troubles,
which was very embarrassing 10 Mr..
Turner, when it afterwards appeared IN
cold type. Mr.. Turner published a card
IN his paper, in which the truth of a
part OF the published interview was
denied, and the denial was justified,
no doubt. But the surprising part OF i
all, was that such an old timer could
be trapped into an interview without
his knowledge and against bis wishes.
Detroit is evidently very dangerous
place, and innocent, cOnhdlng Grand
Rapids people must learn to pass the
bad people of the big city by, without
speaking to 'em, if they would keep out
OF troublc.-CadiHoc Nor, and Eypfes.

Los Angeles herald., 1890-08-16

Running to the end of the wharf, the
bows peered out into the darkness and
saw something which looked like a
human being struggling in the water,
some thirty feet away. The scared
Youngsters ran back and informed two
men, who were strolling up the pier, of
what they have seen and returned with
them to the end of the wharf AS there
was heavy sea at that time, the men
were unable to distinguish the, object
pointed out by the boys. A straw hat,
which hoated in with the tide next
morning, gave rise to the Vulnerable re-
ports, but in spite of the most diligent
search the mystery remained I'M
solved as the sea refused to give up it's
dead.
At five O'Clock yesterday morning,
however, the attention of f. r. Ellis,
the proprietor of the north beach bath
house, was directed to dark object
floating in the surf, directly in front of
the house, and on investigation he dis
covered it to be the body of a man. He
at once dragged it ashore and carried it
up to the bath house to await identified
ton.
The body was that of man about 30
wears of age, 5 feet inches in
height, and weighing about $50 pounds.
His hair was auburn, his eyes blue and
his mustache sandy in color, while he
was dressed in dark suit of clothes,
and gaiter shoes, his underclothing being
of white cotton material. In his pockets
were found white handkerchief, pen
Gil and holder, a nickel coin, and two
printers rules, upon one of which was
the number 80"
Coroner Weldon was notified of the
discovery of the body, and yesterday
afternoon held an inquest upon the I'M
known, which resulted in an open ver-
dict.
From the testimony taken before the
jury of investigation it was learned that
the man had eaten light lunch at Mrs
Skillem's restaurant about 6 o'clock on
Tuesday evening. As he appeared to
have been drinking heavily Mrs. Skill
lem watched his movements, and saw
him enter Eckert and Hopp's saloon.
Then he went and lay down on the sand
for while, after which he went up on
the wharf and walked out to the end.
From the description given of the
printers in this city that the body is
employed on the staff of the HERALD and
a member of the Typographical Union
and this belief is strengthened by the
fact that Keebler's whereabouts are
unknown. This theory, however, is not
accepted by Keebler's intimates, as he
was not drinking man. 1t is said
however that Keebler who was one of
the striking printers was very despond-
ent recently as he had Just brought
here several members OF his family only
to find himself without employment.

FOWL PLAY.
A Legal Opinion on the Etiquette o.
Chicken Fanciers.


Justice P. E. King, sitting for Justice
Lockwood, was occupied for several
hours yesterday afternoon i'll the trial of
William Cunningham, plasterer, re-
siding on Savannah steet, Boyle Heights,
who was charged with disturbing the
peace of his neighbor, Mrs. Louisa Will
drick, widow, who resides at =, $40 New
York avenue.
The complainant testified that on the
morning of the 9Th inst. she found a
number of Cunningham's chickens
busily engaged in roofing up the newly
sown grass seeds on the lot in front OF
her house. She at once picked up a
small twig and drove the obnoxious
fowls out on to a vacant lot between her
own and her neighbors house. While
she was in the act of driving the fowls,
she announced her intention OF killing
them, should they return.
When she got close to Cunningham's
house, she noticed for the first time
that Cunningham was fixing up his
fence. He at once made his presence
known by volley of strong language
addressed Enthusiastically to her, and IN
this the offense alleged consisted.
The defendant on the other hand,
| Wueu CdiltO upOl W tCcVliy VII ms O"ti
behalf. stated that Mrs. Wildrick adj
vanced towards him in threatening
attitude armed with a huge billet of
wood, and announced that if his
chickens came over to her place again
she would kill them. This made him
mad, and he may have used few
supplementary expressions in his ex-
citement. When the case was finally
submitted. the court delivered itself of
a lengthy review of the testimony,
which it closed with the remark that
during the past few weeks, several cases
had been brought before its official
notice, in all of which the disturbing
element had been chickens. In the
opinion of the court person who kept
chickens for profit or pleasure should
take proper measures to keep them
within bounds and prevent them from
being a nuisance to others. The de-
PENDANT was finally adjudged as guilty
and was fined in the sum OF five dollars

THE INITIALS MIXED.
A Democratic Delegate Taken for
Republican Namesake.

The MIXING up of initials by the news

ance to prominent citizen, who is also
delegate to the San Jose convention.
Mr.. John Wolfskill is Democrat, and
has been of that faith for thirty odd
years. Mr.. J. w. Wolfskill is a Repub-
lican, and always has been. Mr.. John
Wolfskill was selected as a delegate to
the San Jose convention, but the papers
generally gave him the w. that belongs
to the other gentleman, and the conse-
quence is that he cannot get large por-
ton of his mails. Letters are constant
ly arriving for him from all over the
state, but addressed to j. w. Wolfskill
Mr.. j. w. Wolfskill is recreating away
up at Lake Tahoe. Meanwhile the
Democratic delegates mail continues to
come addressed to the Republican
