note to him advising him, for the good
and welfare of his regiment, to remain in
command for another term.
The supposition is that the Colonel con-
cluded to do So and it is said that he told
all his officers that he would stay with
them a while longer. However, he did
not take the precaution to answer the
Adjutant- Generals communication, nor
withdraw his resignation.
The following order was, therefore, is

Francisco:
Upon his personal application, and in
accordance with the provisions of Section
1878, Paragraph 8, Political Code, Colonel
Thomas f. Barry, Third Infantry, is
hereby placed on the retired list, with
rank of Colonel from January Is, 1890
To Colonel Barry's faithful services the
Third Infantry owes much of its present
efficiency, and his application for retire
ment is approved with regret"
OF course General Allen was not aware
that Colonel Barry had reconsidered his
determination to resign, and he did not
propose to let matters hang fire any
longer than he deemed necessary.

DESCRIPTION Oh THE LIGHT TRACT
COLONY

fTfHE TRACT OF LAND TO WHICH THE
i above name has been given is located only
miles southeast nom Newcastle, a thriving
town of Placer County, a railroad station on
the line of the Central Pacific The towns of
Newcastle and Penryn, both stations on the
same road and the leading fruit shipDinp
points of Central California, arc only miles,
over an excellent wagon road winding
through beautiful foothiIl scenery. passing
large and thrifty orchards and yincyards
lhe elevation Is $50 feet at Newcastle being
above the range OF fogs ana not too far inland
TO cape the cool evening breeze which comes
so rel. eShing from the oce an. The evenings in
this locality are delightful. The county seat
IS only miles away at the town of Auburn
where hundreds of people with lung COM
plaint congregate every year This piace is
mighty recommended by leading physicians.
SO much for the surroundings and now for
the land ard IL plan for selling The tract
originally contained 476 acres, which has
been Subdivided into lots Of 20 acres with n
road leading from the county read TO each lot
SC al will have an open drive to and from
their land. The soil is of q dark color, deep.
rich and easily cultivated. It is all cleared OF
undcrbrush, which is q great saving to q be-
gInner, as the usual cost OF clearing land is
not less than $50 per acre. Nearly every LOT
has WOOD enough for family use for wears.
Corn grows without irrigation; in fact no irr.i-
cation is needed for anything planted save
berries. Orange trees planted at Loomis had
no water except rainfall, grew well and but
one died. Should person buying need
water it can be easily obtained, as q ditch
runs through one corner of the tract.
We claim this to be one of the most desir.
able places in Central California Several
parties have already purchased and are highly
pleased which anyone can see upon tracts
now under cultivation.

j. w. Davidson Dies From an Acci-
dent on the railroad.
On Thursday afternoon sad accident
happened about two miles east of Towles
Station, Placer County, on the line CT the
Central Pacific Railroad.
J. w. Davidson, native of Tennessee,
was walking along the track with his
head closely wrapped in a sack for shell
ter against the fierce snowstorm which
prevailed on the mountain.
The first section of the west-bound
overland No. , consisting of a locomo-
tive) came sliding down the grade and
struck Davidson unawares. The en-
gineer saw him ahead, and, although the
engine was slowed down and a warming
given, Davidson could not hear it.
The pilot of the locomotive struck and
threw him to one side of the track. The
locomotive went only about fifty feet
after striking the man, and it was thought
that he had been tossed so easily that he
was not seriously hurt.
He was taken on board and brought to
Auburn, where medical treatment was
administered quickly, but yesterday
morning he died. He had been Injured

RUMoRED SHOOTING.
Reported Assault by Fishermen ol

Reported Assault by Fishermen on
William Kelly at SuttervilIe.
There was rumor about the city last
night that William Kelly, proprietor of
the Groenveld saloon at Sutterville, had
been shot by some drunken fishermen
whom he was trying to eject from his
place.
The rumor could not be traced to any
definite source, however, and even
Kelly's most intimate friends could learn
nothing of the alleged shooting.
G. A. Fiske, who lives near Sutterville,
telephoned at midnight to the RECORD
UNION that he had started to go to Kelly's
place, but met a man who worked about
there and the latter said he had not heard
of any shooting.
Either there is nothing in the rumor or
else an effort is being made to keep the
matter very quiet.
Sheriff Stanley and Under Sheriff Bug
hey were called out of lodge meeting
last night in hurry, and it was thought
that perhaps they went on that business,
but ii is more than likely that they were
called to the bedside of Deputy Sheriff
Newbert, who has been lying almost al
