NATIONAL GUARD NOTES.
Company E, First Artillery, to Elect a
Captain Tonight.
Cold Reception of Visiting sharpshoot.
ers at the Bay-The Brfgades
are All in 1t as Yet.

There will be an election this evening
at Company E's armory for Captain, the
! term of service Of Captain II. I. Seymour
having expired. So far, it appears that
| there will be no contest, and that Captain
Seymour will be unanimously reelected.
The members of the team sent to San
Rafael last Saturday by Company G to
shoot for trophy offered, complain bit
terly of the treatment they received at
the hands of the Third Infantry Regi-
ment. They say they were treated very
coldly, not the least bit of courtesy being
shown. and they were compelled when
they reached the park to walk around
with their overcoats and guns on their
hands for fully an hour before anyone
offered to show them where they might
leave their traps. The und-keeper
also wanted to charge them for entering
the grounds.
The treatment, the men say, was unex-
| pected, as they had been assured before
| they started that they would be met by
members OF the regiment at the train, and
| shown where the sbooting-range was.
AT Company G'S meeting the other even
| ing, each member of the team had "a few
uncompllmentary things TO say about the
! Third Infantry.
| Our neighbor, the Bee, in its issue of
! yesterday ct one fell swoop did away
with all the brigades OF the National
| Guard in this State. If it had said there
We're to be no more batUalions, instead of
! brigades, it would have been about right
| but we believe there is still one lonesome
! little battalion in the Sixth Brigade
| away up in the northwest corner Of the
! State-consisting Of about two companies
which are perhaps unattached
There is no doubt that three of the six
brigades ought to be mustered out, so the
Bee Is half right, at least. We must cor
rect our contemporary in one other par

commander Of the First Artillery Regi-
nent, and not the officer whom our

COURTHOUSE IMPROVEMENTS.
Sheriff Stanley Has Some Sugges.
tions to Make.
An Electric Light to Prevent the
Smuggling OF Opium-A New
Stone Flooring.

The work of flooring the jail-yard of
the County Jail with artificial stone is
shout completed, and the improvement
makes vast difference in the appearance
Of the yard.
We viii have no more trouble now in
winter" said Sheriff Stanley, yesterday.
Formerly in winter the yard was a
veritable mud-hole, and it was with diff
Guilty that it could be crossed. Now it is
Ike billiard table, and all that is neces-
sary is TO turn a hose on it to keep it as
clean as whistle. It's a pleasure to
look at it now. If we had some skates
there, the prisoners would have a regular
rink"
Through the efforts of Sheriff Stanley
numerous Improvements have been
made about the Courthouse by the Board
of Supervisors, and more will probably
follow.
The Sheriff wants an electric light at
the corner OF the alley which adjoins the
Courthouse on the Seventh-street side.
have signed q petition for light
there" said Mr.. Stanley yesterday, mot
only because citizens who have to pass that
alley at night want it, but because il will
be protection to the Jail. 1t is very easy
alley and throw package of opium or
anything else over the prison wall into
the yard, or else shove it through the
grating which opens into the alley. We
have covered this grating time and again
with fine wire cloth, but within a few
days IT is invariably punched so that
drugs can be slipped through it into the
jail dining-room. This should be stopped,
but as long as there is no light
in the alley it will be i'm
possible to detect friends of the prisoners
who enter there. And, beside all this,
the alley is dangerous place for citizens
to pass. l really believe that had there
been an electric light there Robert Allen
would never have been killed. / have
passed there frequently after dark and
seen men hiding in that alley. / don't
know what their purpose was, but
would not have walked through there
unless was armed.'
Another improvement about the Court
house that the Sheriff and the rest of the
county officers are interested in is to have
stone pavement put down on the
Seventh-street side of the building. The
other property-owners on the block will
not improve until this work is done.
1t is also expected that the Supervisors
will have the granite steps leading to the
Courthouse cleaned of the iron rust and
other stains that dishgure them. The
cleansing work that was recently done on
the granite of the Capitol building is
sufficient guarantee that granite can be
freed from stains of the kind that make
the Courthouse steps look bad.

THE TRAIN-WREOKERS
Officers Diligently Searching the Hill
For Them.


For Them.
Nothing has yet been seen or heard of
the parties who wrecked the overland ex-
press train last Monday near Colfax. The
officers are diligently securing the hills
in that vicinity, and have hope Of getting
on their trail soon.
Ex-Constable Lamphrey, who is thor
oughly familiar with the country, has
joined the officers who are on the search.
Superintendent Wright informed
RECoRD-UNIoN reporter last night that
the crowbar referred to was found in a
manzanita bush some distance west of the
track, where it had been thrown. The
branches of the bush were freshly broken
where the bar had come III contact with
them, and theground freshly disturbed
where it had struck. This crowbar has
been identified as one taken from a ranch
a couple of miles from the scene of the
wreck.
The bar with the broken claw, which
was used in drawing the spikes, is of re-
cent make and poor instrument.
Suspicion rests upon three men who
had been seen in that vicinity prior to the
wrecking of the train, and who have
since been missing. One is aged about
80 years, hight, five feet six or seven
inches, weight, $50 pounds, stout build,
black hair, eyes and mustache, tee b even
and handsome, which he shows when he
smiles; is considered very bright and
sharp.
Number two is about 25 years old, is Of
sandy" complexion, five feet six inches
in hight, and a little heavier than the one
above described. He is not very bright,
and is either hard of hearing or pretends
to be.
| Number three is six feet tall and of very
| dark complexion, wears brown beard,
| is square e-shouldered, Of slender build
has very long arms and large hands, with
large veins. He is very erect, and has a
| commanding voice and manner.
Naturally the railroad officials, as well
as the officers engaged in hunting the
rascals who did the work, are quite reti-
cent about the matter, but it is under
stood that other men than those described
| above are also suspected. The officers are
working quietly but determinedly, and q
very few days will probably develop
something of interest.
1t is not unlikely that the perpetrators
of the outrage are in close hiding some
where in the direction Of Bear River, as
that appears to have been the direction
taken; that they have provisions enough
to last them several days, and that they
will not strike out until they think the
officers have relaxed their search in that
section.

AN Alleged Burglar Acquitted In the
Superior Court.
Peter Rin.0ul, who was charged with
having burglariously entered a room in
the Clunie building, was called up in Su-
perior Judge Catlin's court yesterday. a
jury was empaneled to try the case.
The testimony showed that one Satur-
day night some time ago Rintoul, while
intoxicated, went into the room of a friend

not finding the party in, picked up sew
eral articles of clothing and went out.
He was arrested for burglary, but the
Jury found that he did not know what he
was doing and did not intend TO commit
any crime. He was therefore acquitted.

Likely to Be.
Last Thursday an elderly man named
Augustus Lynn, who has a chicken
ranch' out at Twenty-seventh and @
streets, came into town and went ON q
little jamboree. He had $40 III his inside
pocket, of which he spent about S5. In
the evening he went into dive ON Third
street and there changed fve-dollar
piece, at the time exhibiting the whole
of his remaining cash.
Shortly afterward, while he was pass
ing through the alley in the rear Of the
Huntington-H Hopkins building, he was
set upon by two men, beaten and robbed.
Officer Gibson found him at Third and X
streets shortly afterward and took him to
the Receiving Hospital, where he was
washed up and allowed to go home to his
chickens.
The police soon ascertained who were
the scoundrels that did the garroting, and
on Monday night arrested a negro named
Cogar, who is still in Jail. His partner in
crime, who is well-known to the police,
has managed thus far to elude arrest, but
is likely TO soon be behind the bars.
The evidence against the men is com
plete.

the railroad company have not given

the employees would lay the track,
they would tear it up by throwing
dynamite bombs from the upper win
