THE TENDERFooT WON.

How Quiet Man from Boston Victim
lied a Native Californian.
He was a Boston man. Weary Of cult
ure and philosophy and scientific variety
shows, and seeking a brief pleasurable
relapse into barbarism, he sought the far
West and he landed at San Diego. The
country was covered with little wooden
stakes that might have been taken for
gravestones In potter's field; and each
Of them might have been inscribed: "Sa-
cred to the memory of a boom" The
past relicts Of big double barreled ad-
jectives abiding to the soil and the eli
mate hung on fences and the meditative
crow sat and gazed pensively upon the
wreck of towns that never were born.
And sad-eyed men approached him
YEARLY and wanted to sell him corner
lots in the metropolis of the future, for
every little staked-out place was yet to
be capital. He, a cultured man of ideas,
saw in all this sad picture singular ex-
hibition of the influence Of matter over
mind, and he made notes for book and
a lecture some day before the thinking
Bostonians on the interesting subject.
And as he meditated gentle, mild-eyed
lotus-eater of the South approached him
and rendered him some exceptionally
cheap and valuable town lots. The man
from Boston had nothing particular to
do, SO he let the native argue away.
"Yes." said the Boston man. 'It's all
true. You have the most glorious eli
mate, the richest soil, the biggest pros
poets of any place in the world. But
there is one thing can't stand, and"-
What is it?'
well, the ieas in your country here
are awful"
"Fleas, heas; what are ieas?"
''Come, come-a flea is a."
Il tell you there amt flea in this
country"
Eyes, there are"
''See here, III bet you fifty dollars"
said the excited native, that can lie
down here, right in your tracks, for an
hour, and nary a flea will touch me-
''I'll take you," said the Boston man.
So the San Diego man lay down and
the Boston man took out his watch and
timed him. He stood it without
squirm for fifteen minutes, but after
that he began to betray signs of de-
sire to scratch. The Boston man in the
meantime began to be afraid that he
would lose his bet The native was
holding himself in hard, bent on stand
ing it out IL the fieas ate him up. The
Boston man took out the crystal Of his
watch and used it as lens. and focused
a little spot Of concentrated sunlight
on the natives back. 1t began to burn
hole in his coat, but the native was
grit At last he turned half over and
looked up.
Say, Boston" said he, 'Tll make il
another fifty If you'll just give me one
second at that yellow-jacket that's
going into my back.
The stranger put his crystal back in
his watch and murmured in deep, low
tone:

water over the fence dividing the yards
OF both parties, while sprinkling her
lawn. The matter was referred to the
chief for investigation, with power to
act.
The special committee appointed to

defendant policeman having applied for
a re-opening of the case, as he wished to
introduce some new testimony.

cial officers were received from r. w.
McNair and 7. L. Grosvenor, and both
were referred to the chief for investiga-
ton, with power to act.

''The Evil Effects of the Tobacco Habit. !"
The high-school pupils were limited to a

The citizens at Brooklyn Heights are
clamoring for street railroad through
that portion of the city. Why do not
some of the enterprising citizens over
there apply for a franchise and go to
work and construct street-car line from
the junction of First street and Boyle
avenue, to run along Lopez or Bailey
street, to Dunsmoor avenue, thence in a
northeasterly direction to the intersec-
tion of Soto street? This would be a
paying line and accommodate a large
area that is being settled up rapidly.

OFFICIALLY DENIED.
Los Angeles Army Officers Are Not
to Be Court-Martialed.


A few days ago considerable space was
given in these columns to rumor,
started by a special dispatch from San
Antonio, to the effect that Lieutenant
Grierson, Major Elderkin and Major
Kimball, attached to the staff of General
Grierson, commander of the department
of Arizona, were to be court-martialed at
Tucson on the 10th of July. No charges
were given upon which the officers were
to be tried, and the whole matter was
very misty
Attempts were made to find the
truth of the report at army headquarters,
but beyond the statement that the story
was believed to be canard, no informa-
ton could be obtained. Yesterday
General Grierson received the following
dispatch:
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 2S.
General b. II. Grierson, Commdndinq
Department Of ArizOna, Los angeles,
Cal:
There is no foundation for the report
that Major Elderkin and Lieutenant
Grierson are to be tried by court-martial
at Tucson. G. MCKEEvER,
Acting Adjutant-General.
1t is noticed that Major Kimball's s
name is not mentioned in this dispatch,
but it is stated that the story in regard
to his court-martial is also a mistake.
The rumor probably arose from the fact
that the gentlemen will be summoned
as witnesses to Tucson at the trial of
Captain Miltimore.
