The First Artillery Regiment Re-eleS
It's Colonel and Ifeutauanf-T,oIopa

The First Artillery Regiment Re-elects
Its Colonel and Lfeutenant-Colonel.
The field and line officers of the First
Artillery Regiment met last evening at
the Armory for the purpose of electing a
Colonel and Lieutenant-C Colonel of the
regiment. There was very full attend
ance of officers entitled to vote, and also
many brigade staff officers who were in
terested lockers on. Captain Nihell and
Lieutenants Simonds and Rich of Nevada
City were present, and also Captain Cur
son and Lieutenants Hopkins and Heyel
of Woodland.
Colonel Guthrie and Lieutenant-C Colo
mel Mckee were unanimously reelected
Tor the ensuing term, which is four years
Major ii. WeinStock of the staff presided.
After the close of the business the
officers and enlisted men of the regiment
were invited to a banquet set on five long
tables laid in the main hall and loaded
with substantial edibles prepared bv
the thoughtfulnesS of Colonel Guthrie.
and superintended by his amiable wife
| and other ladies of the regiment.
1t was given out during the day that
there was TO be riot drill in the evening.
and the men were agreeably surprised
TO ma that they were expected to van
qulsh the good things on the tables. and
not more stubborn enemy. A very
pleasant hour was spent in social con-
verse, speech making, ETC., all tending to
create good feelingin the force.
Major Weinstock gave some good adj
vice to all, in his usual able and Impress
i've manner. Remarks were also made
by Col. Guthrie, the Brigade Commander,
Capts. Nihell, Cursor and Hall.
Major Gett responded to a toast in honor
of Mrs. Col. Guthrie, in feeling manner,
which was loudly applauded.
Capt. Glas of Company A had a speech
ready-the effort of his life-but some of
his boys stole it from him. Capt. Sey-
mour endeavored to set matters to rights
for his friend Glas, and partially restored
the latter to his usual good humor
Remarks were also made by Lieut.. Col.
Mckee, Lieut.. Simonds, Major Johnston,
Capt. Greer and Capt. Collins of the
Fifth Brigade. The regimental band was
present, and enlivened the occasion with
its delightful music. 1t was altogether a
very pleasant affair, and will not soon be
forgotten.
The record-union., 1891-04-12

The merriment continued for some
time, and fully fifty young bloods and
old 'uns, were caught, and dragged up to
the bar to ''treat the house."
But shortly after the noon hour, a seedy-
looking chap, with matted red hair, stubby
beard and enormous mouth strolled in,
and after getting drink ambled over to
room held his breath and waited for the
fun. But to their surprise the newcomer
mastcated the fritters in lively manner,
smacked his jowls, and finally got away
with the whole plateful. Then with a
cunning leer at the host he shuffled out of
the place.
IF that fellow amt dead before morn
ing it will be miracle" remarked the
practical joker, who felt somewhat piqued
that he had been deprived of his lucrative
fritters.
Everybody laughed, took another 'of
the same," and then the crowd left.
About an hour later young man who
had been one of the witnesses to the dis
appearance of the fritters rushed into the
resort and seized the proprietor by the
coat collar, dragged him out into the back
yard, and in husky voice said: ''That
chap that ate all those prepared fritters of
yours is dying. 1t will be pretty costly
joke for you, / am afraid. He is down in
DIR. Blanks office, and they are doing all
they can to save him. The doctor says
whisky is the only thing that will save
him.
The saloon mans face was an ashen
hue, and he trembled violently. "Moly
Hoses!' he gasped. "If he dies Pll be
jugged for murder. For the Lawd's
sake, Harry, rush down to the DOCTORS
office, and take demijohn of whisky
with you. Then come back and let me
know how he is as soon as you can.''
Harry did as he was told and soon re-
turned with information that the patient,
though easier, was not yet out of danger.
Another demijohn was sent down, but
this time Harry did not return.
The host was nearly wild with anxiety,
and finally being unable to stand the sus-
pense any longer, he donned his coat and
hat and rushed down to DR.. Blanks
office.
The truth never dawned upon him un-
til he stood at the entrance to the office
and beheld Harry, the doctor, and about
a dozen of the young bloods and old 'uns
the same crowd which had partaken of
his fritters-seated around table, upon
which were the two empty demijohns
and numerous empty glasses. The roar
OF laughter that greeted his appearance
could have been heard mile away.
And as the last echoes of that roar were
dying away, a seedy looking-chap, with
matted hair, stubby beard and enormous
mouth, was seated in the back room of a
modest little saloon over in Washington
relating a wonderful story to an admiring
crowd. "Yo on see," he was saying, 81 was
a walkin' along past swell saloon when
a feller stopped me an seZ, sez he, Here's
o. those fritters, an then dig out o. the
neighborhood purity FAST like that. They
was purity tough fritters, I tell ye, but I
got away with 'em."
