A Brace of Them Hauled Upon Charges
of vsgrapcy.
]. P. Kelly and Charles Blum were oc-
cupants of the Police Court dock yesterday
charged with being Migrants. Deputy
Sheriffs Dole and Sullivan and officers
Simmons and Franks swore that they had
known both the defendants for long
time, and never heard that they ever
worked. They associated with known
thieves, and frequented the low lives in
town.
Kelly and Blum subjected all the wit
nesses for the prosecution to shrewd
cross-exsmination. Kelly wanted to know
of Dole if the latter had not told several
parties that he was going to throw him
into the chain-gang just for fun. Blam
wanted to know if Dole was not prejudiced
in the case, because he (Blum) had been
regarded as the ringleader of strike which
occurred in the chain gang some time ago.
When Kelly took the stand to testify he
gave sn account Of himself which went to
show that he had toiled little during the
past two years. He said he went over to
Yolo the day before be was arrested for the
purpose of catching a train.
rs there depot over there?' asked City
Attorney Hart.
mo, don't need any. I swing right
onto the train as she moves by, replied
Kelly.
You never paid out a cent in your life
fer railroad fare, did you?" asked Mr..
Hart
Kelly looked indignant and replied that
he certainly did. He paid thirty-hve cents
to ride from Suisun TO Elmira one time.
He could not ever remember of having
paid his way at any other time.
Blum claimed that Dole threatened that
he would arrest him the first time he got a
chance, because he had melted the chain
gang TO strike on account Of the poor food
that was furnished.
Judge Buckley said he would reserve his
decision in both cases until Monday.

FLORENCE MISSION.

1t Was Dedicated to Its Proposed Good
Work Last Night.
The room at 1910 Third street, between
J and K, was not more than half large
enough to accommodate all who desired
entrance to the opening of the Florence
Mission last night, but the large crowd re-
manned with deep interest until IL o'clock.
Short addresses were made by Mr.. Crit
tenton and Mr.. Carpenter aud the pastors
OF the various churches, after which many
of the Christians present testified to the
goodness of God. The singing was full of
power. and everybody seemed happy
There were four more happy conversions,
surely splendid start for the opening night,
and many were deeply impressed. There
were many men of the lower order in the
audience, who seemed pleased that place
was open for them.
The universal verdict was that the
Florence Mission had grand opening, and
one that bespeaks wonderful success.

in the meeting every night during the
coming week, after which Mr. Marshal,
the Superintendent, will conduct the meet.

A New Placer Industry.

ALI of the Towle Bros mills were closed
down for the season last Thursday night.
There is considerable snow in the noun
tsins. and on the last trip Ben. Wooley made
over the narrow-gauge, his engine went off
the track twenty. nine times between Steep
Hollow and Towles Station. Towle Bros.
have cut II 100000 feet of lumber this sea-
son, and they have also cut 1900 cords of
tamarack and fir for the pulp mill, which
will start up as the next rain comes. The
firm has Just engaged in new industry.
They have placed in the pulp mill plant of
machinery to convert dry sawdust into dry
pulp for the use of giant powder manu-
facturers.
The sawdust is ground very fine between
millstones end is boiled like -four. 1t is
used as an absorbent of nitro glycerine in
the manufacture Of giant powder and other
explosives. Its production is new in
dustry on this coast, and much Of it has
even been brough. from Norway. Towle
Bros. utilize the dust from their sawmills
and also from the planning mill for making
this new material.-Grass Faliey Union.

REMEDY FOR TRAMPIsM.
The Best Thing to Do With Tramps is
Keep Them at Work.

The Best Thing to Do With Tramps is to
Keep Them at Work.
Referring to the fact that the cold weather
is causing an influx of tramps and idlers
into Sacramento and other places, the Bul-
letin says:
Mot much complaint has been heard of
them yet in San Francisco, but it is about
time for the season to open here. Some
Eastern towns have solved the tramp ques-
ton by putting them to work. The theory
is that the man who can work and won't
work must be made to work. 1t is cheaper
than to maintain him in idleness. The
problem during the winter is to find work
to put him on without throwing out vol
untary labor"
There appears to be plenty of public
work about Sacramento to employ good
force of men during the winter months.
These fellows forage on the people any
how, and have to be maintained in one
way or another. Some nights the city
prison is packed with this class of ''lodg-
ers," and the community might inst as well
get the benefit of their muscle as not.
1t would not be interfering at all with
honest labor to have these fellows kept
employed in doing work for which sal
aired men are never employed, and for
which there is no money.

ROUND ABOUT TRUCKER.

From the Republican, December 18th
A lady was down on Sunday from Soda
Springs station and reports the snow as be-
ing four feet at that point.
The thermometer is having great many
ups and downs of late. 1t goes down to
about 50 above, and then runs up to point
of comfort during the day.
Edward James, colored, known as Uncle
Ned" OF Grass Valley, said to have been
the Oldest man in the county, died in the
County Hospital Saturday.
Hoary-headed winter is now busily en-
gagged in the decorative art, fringing the
caves and cornices with icy pendants, and
covering the window panes with a net work
of frosty lace.
The mountains and foothills adiscent to
Truckee are no longer barren and uninter-
esting, but are covered with pure, white
mantle of snow which shimmers and CLOVIS

ON ONE TRACK.

Practical Demonstration of the Fact that
Two Trains Could Not Pass.
A collision occurred about o'clock yes
terday afternoon on the California and
Oregon road, three. quarters of mile
above Ewing's station, near Sheridan. A
south-bound freight train endeavored to
reach Ewing's before the afternoon local
from Sacramento left the station, and the
result was that the two trains met on the
main track.
The engineers were not aware of the
danger until too late to avoid collision.
The brakes were applied and the speed of
both trains was materially slackened before
they met.
Tha engine and first four cars of the
freight train were thrown from the track
and badly wrecked. The locomotive of the
passenger train was damaged, but none of
the coaches were derailed. The track was
torn up for quite distance. Nobody was
injured.
The wrecking train and crew from this
city was sent TO the scene of the wreck, and
it was expected that the track would be
clear by midnight.

The Nolan Gang Makes Things Lively
About a Grocery.
.Wally Nolan was arrested last evening
for participation in one of his periodical
peace, disturbing rackets. He was pretty
drunk when brought in. and his head was
decorated with an ugly scalp wound re-
ceived in row.
1t seems that Nolan and a gang of fell
low hoodlums made a descent, about mid.
night on Friday night, on the grocery store
of Mr.. Haggerty at Tenth and Q streets,
and smashed things generally.
Haggerty finally fred pistol shot in the
ceeded. They scattered in all directions,
and the neighborhood had comparative
peace the remainder of the night. This
gang has given the police considerable

DEER In PLACER.
Killed With Clubs During the Late
Severe snow-Storm.

Severe snOw-Storm.
The Placer Republican states that after
the heavy snow in the mountains last week,
deer fell an easy prey to hunters oil snow
shoes. A miner coming out from Onion
valley found band of half dozen deer
foundering in a four foot drift, and at
tackled them with his iron-shot staff The
older and stronger animals made their way
through the drift and escaped, but the
weaker ones made slower progress, and the
miner killed three of them with his stick
OF course the slaughtered deer were all
bucks. but it would be reasonably safe to
bet that some of them were of the 'Polled
Angus variety. The number of unantlered
bucks found in the mountains at this time
of the year is surprising
Notwithstanding the fact that hundreds
and thousands of deer persisted in the can
yons during the great storm last winter,
the hunting has been good this season.
More than the usual number of deer have
been seen along the American river within
few miles of Auburn, and great many
have been killed by local hunters. Howard
Davis has had the luck to get four or FIVE
on Green point. But the hunting season
will soon be at an end. as the close season
begins on the 18th of this month"

Work of Burglars.

The residence of Herman Mier, on
Twelfth street, between H and I, was en-

the occupants were out, and number of
valuabies were stolen. Some of the neigh
bors state that three men were seen loiter-
ing about the house during the day, and
one of them rang the door bell of Mr. Mier's
house several times, presumably 10 ascertain
if anybody was in. An entrance TO the
house was effected through rear window.

him it headed for him with vicious snarl
Fortunately Richards had his rifle along
and preserved his GOODNESS. He fired with
deadly effect, the ball striking bruin in the
