HARD TO KILL.
A Vicious Dog, With Strong Symptoms
of Feline Nature.

a Vicious Dog, With strong Symptoms
of Feline Nature.
Yesterday morning big black dog
made dash at F. McConatthy, an en-
ploye in Booth 81 Co.'S store, as he was
walking along Front street.
The first attack was only a sort of re-
connaissance, but McConatthy thought it
best to prepare for a pitched battle, SO he
got out his jack-knife while his four-footed
assailant prepared for renewal of the
attack.
1t came in the shape of spring at Nc
Conatthy's thigh, the brute fastening its
fangs in his clothing. Then the knife got
in its work, and the dog came up for the
third round with terrible cash in it's
side, from which the blood flowed freely.
He was, however, apparently done for,
and some of the spectators of the battle
tied rope around the dogs neck and
took him to Front and 1 streets, where
he was tied to post while someone pro-
cured an ak with which to end the crea-
ture's misery.
While the ak act was being played
upon the brute's head, it broke the rope
and scampered off down the street, leav-
ing the crowd to gaze at one another in
blank amaZement.

evening on Mrs. Palladini, the woman
whose death occurred on Front street the
other day, and which was attributed to
exposure consequent upon having been

The testimony of Drs. White and
Nichols was to the effect that death re-
suited from chronic alcoholism. The liver
was found to be in spongy condition
and enlarged to five or six times its
natural size, and the kidneys were also
diseased from the same cause.
The husband of deceased testified that
she was strictly temperate, but had been
an invalid for several years.
The jury found verdict in accordance
with the report of the physicians.

The Mystery EXPLAINED.

People have long been at loss to ac-
count for the presence of hair in their
butter. The mystery seems to be salts
factorily explained in the advertisement
of a San Jose dealer, who advertises in a
local paper:
Finest creamery butter in the market
80 cents, or two pounds for SO cents.
Any lady buying butter this week re-
ceives free some article in hair orna-
ments."
Heretofore butter-buyers have had to
pay for these capillary deposits. but here
is man who not only publicly announces
that he deals in hairy butter, but gener-
ously offers to throw in the hair without
extra charge.
San Jose butter should be severely
boYcotted.

Rassanlo Riccardo Avoids the Prison,
But Goes to an Asylum.
Yolo County has on record the fact of a
man who escaped punishment for a
serious crime on the ground Of insanity,
and who was then declared insane and
committed to an asylum.
The case was that of Rassanio Ricardo,

the latter took from his (Riccardo's)
cabin a small flag which he had placed
there in honor Of the Fourth of July.
On the trial of the case the defense set
up the plea of insanity, and the jury
found Ricardo not guilty on that ground.
