Dan Sweeuy, who resides on Tehama

Sunday morning, August I'd, which will
make him somewhat chary about picking up
his friends in saloon. Late in the morn

Howard and Fourth streets and struck up
an acquaintance with three young men,
whose charming manner and airy sociabil-
ity went straight to his heart.
few drinks were set up, and time flew
on gauzy wings till o'clock, when Sweeny
concluded it was time for him to be think
ing of setting his face hOmeward. On get
ting outside he concluded TO have his shoes
BACKED, and had just settled himself COM
fortably for the Clearly operation when his
newly made friends appeared. But the
friendly sociabilty had disappeared, and
Sweeny was considerably surprised to find
himself violently hauled from the chair and
vigorously assaulted. Sweeny broke away
from his ASSISTANTS, and started on run
down Fourth, the three following in hot
pursuit. Unluckily for Sweeny, at the cor
ner of Tehama lie tripped. Before he could
get on his feet again his pursuers overhauled
him, and beat and kicked him so severely
that he has been confined to the house for
about week

and Sweeny at length broke away from his
assailants and took refuge in the store, but
