She is Given Thirty six Hours in
Which to Leave Town.
''Yes, Judge, your honor, I'll leave
town right away, and 1 promise never to
come back again"
1t was the notorious Mrs. Miller, who
has been the terror Of various neighbor-
hoods, and for once she was not the de-
fiant amazon that she usually is in the
Police Court. Judge Cravens had his
usual Monday morning austerity with
him, and that was why Mrs. Miller
quailed. She pleaded guilty to having
pelted brlckbats into Yates dive on L
street Saturday night, and was quite
penitent.
well, madam" said the Judge, "you
have been here so often that the patience
of the court and the officers is completely
exhausted. | am happy to learn that you
contemplate leaving town, and I know
the citizens will rejoice, too. / won't

The Judge stopped and opened big
law book. Mrs. Miller's face was a

His honor was nOtlong making matters
clear. He found what he wanted in the
book, and then continued:
For period Of ninety days. But I
will withhold the commitment Temporal
rily, so that you can get out of town. If
you are found here after thirty-six hours
from now, you will have to serve out
this sentence. Good-day.n

THE TROUT SEASON
Seeking the Mountain Streams for the |
SpecSled Beauties.

Seeking the Mountain Streams for the
Speckled Beauties.
The trout fishing season may now be
said to be fairly opened, though in many
places the fish have not yet commenced
to rise to the fiy'' or take the bait as
readily as desired. Sportsmen are hurry
ing to the mountains from all parts of the
State, and parties OF campers may be met
along almost any of the roads leading up
the Sierras Many of the streams are
still too high for good fishing, but those
who go early have the advantage OF being
on the ground before the trout have been
frightened by the numerous fishermen
who come later.
A party of Sacramentans went uD to
the Summit on Saturday last, and thence
by stage to Summit Soda Springs, near
the headwaterS of the north fork of the
American River. Here Messrs. Goulden
IL Jacobs have fine hotel, situated
within a hundred feet of the stream,
and the guests go out and take
trout almost at the door. 1t is
veritable' sportsman's paradise, and has
advantages not surpassed by any resort
on the Pacific Coast. The North Fork
was found to be pretty high, and conse-
quently the trout were able to obtain
great deal of food from the stream, prin-
cipally ants and worms washed from the
logs and rocks by the daily rise OF the
water. Still several gentlemen came in
with well-filled creels, and the hotel
table was well supplied with the delici-
Gus deniZens Of the mountain stream. 1t
was noticeable that quite large proper
ton of the fish caught were Eastern
trout.
The trip from Summit to the Soda
Springs is one Of the most delightful i'm
aginable. a comfortable four-horse stage
leaves the former place every morning at
s o'clock, and leaves the springs on the
return trip at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
The road is good, the scenery is grandly
beautiful, and there is not a more pic
turesque spot in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains than that in which the Sum-
NIT Soda Springs Hotel is located. 1t Isl
place little known TO the general tourist,
but has for some years been the resort of
few families, mostly from Los Angeles,
Oakland, San Francisco and Sacramento.
The hotel is kept in first-class style, and
accommodates about eighty people.
There are also several small but neat cot
tages. A more homelike place cannot be
imagined, as special attention is paid to
the comfort of ladies and children. When
the place becomes better known to the
public Messrs. Goulden & Jacobs will be
compelled TO make extensive additions to
their hotel.

THE ELECTRIC ROAD.
viii the Trustees Grant the P-Street
Franchise
Mclaughlin and Conklin Want the
Road Down Town, But Mr.. Henry
Wants 1t on Sixth Street.

D. IL. Henry's application for fran
chlse to operate an electric railway on p
street, from Sixth to wenty-eighth, and
from Sixth and p to the railroad depot,
was the first business brought before the
City Trustees at yesterdays session of
that body.
City Clerk Young read the proposed
ordinance granting such franchise, and
allowing the company to maintain a
track on the following streets: On Sixth
street, from J to p, and thence along p
street to Twenty eighth; also on Seven
teenth street, from to NJ. The fran
chise provides that the road shall be COM
menced within sixty days after the pas
sage of the ordinance and completed
within six months. The fare shall not
exceed five cents, and cars shall run at
least every fifteen minutes.
J. II. Henry was present and made a
short address to the board. He said he
desired 10 explain the reason why he
wanted a franchise on Sixth street. He
believed the members of the board and
everybody else were satisfied that the
electric road was a success, and he did not
need to talk on that question. He wanted
line on Sixth street because he believed
there was more trade in that vicinity, and
modate more people. He believed there
was some objection to his laying his track
on Sixth street. but not from the resi-
dents along that thOrOughfare. The OBJ
lection came from people in the extreme
southwestern residence portion of the
city, who wanted the road to be run near
their property. He could not see that he
could prOiitably run the road down as
far as Second or Third streets and then
over to the business streets.
People who came down town, as gen.
eral rule, did not want to be landed as far
down as Second street, and people living
from Sixth street west and south of X
would, for the most part, walk to the
business streets.
II would rather have a franchise on
Seventh street than on Sixth" said Mr.
Henry, but | understand that Mr.. Carey
has a franchise on that street, so that bars
me. | would like TO run by the postofice,
but cannot. l don't think it would pay
me to run by the art gallery"
G. \. Luhrs spoke in favor of the grant
ing of the franchise. He said it was SIM
ply a business proposition and he thought
MI Henry was correct in his views when
he said that a road on Sixth street would
pay better than one farther down. He
did not think that the people living in the
vicinity of Third and p streets ought to
protest against line on Sixth street sim
ply because they could not have one on
Third.
A. J. Senate didn't want the road on p
street unless it ran along farther west
than Sixth. He wanted the company to
pay bonus also OF about two per cent. of
the gross receipts.
Samuel Katzenstein said he had can
vassed among the property-owners on P
street, near Twelfth, and everybody ap-
peared to be in favor of the road He had
some 1000 feet represented on his peti-
Iion
Trustee Mclaughlin wanted the road to
run down Second or Third street. He
thought Mr.. Henry could make it pay.
The discussion was finally dropped and

HACKED OUT THEIR TONGUES.
A Frightful Method of Suicide Prac-
ticed by Chinese.
An Aged Couple Agree to Die Together
The Husband Succeeds in De-
Stroying Himself.

Shortly before noon yesterday the po-
lice received information of horrible
case of attempted double suicide.
In dingy little room in a cellar on
Third street, near 1, the dead and mutt
lated body of Chinaman was found
lying in large pool of clotted blood, and
near by was a Chinese woman, who was
not dead, but so near it that little hopes
are entertained of her recovery.
The dead man and the woman were
man and wife. He was aged and blind.
and the two were familiar characters on
the streets-shea always leading him wher-
ever they went.
TIRED OF LIFE.
The mans name was WIN Ok and the
woman's Di Toy.
OF late they had been annoyed con-
siderably by some highbinders, who were
trying to take the wife away from the
old man, and take her to Salem, Or. The
ton several times during the past two
weeks, and the officer promised to see
that they were not moleSted.
But it appears that the annoyances con-
tinued, and the old man became despond-
ent. On Sunday he told his wife that he
lHIGHuSu 10 Suu HIS lie. lie SAID he pro-
posed to cut out his tongue so that he
could not eat, and would therefore die.
The wife declared that if he died she
would, too.
TERRIBLE ACTS.
Late in the afternoon they carried out
their terrible plan. The old man first
hacked his tongue off with razor, and
then she did likewise. The husband
died during the night-bleeding to death.
When the police arrived at the place
yesterday, they had the corpse removed
to the Morgue.
City Physician G.. B. Nichols was sent
fot, and did what he could to relieve the
suff'erings of the woman. He subse-
quently had her removed to the County
Hospital, where she could receive better
treatment. It is not believed, however,
that she will live.
The woman was able to talk a little.
and managed to describe how the terri
bic deeds were done. She said that Win
Ok suffered terribly before death came to
his relief.
a brother of Win Ok says that the
latter has for years had a horror of being
confronted with starvation some day.
and has often talked of suicide. Twenty
years ago, says the brother, Win Ok at
tempted to take his life by cutting his
throat, but did not succeed.
