w. M. Edwards Has to Foot Big
Hack BIZ.

w. M. Edwards Has to Foot a Big
Hack Bill.
There is good story on William M.
Edwards, the baseball enthusiast, going
the rounds. Billy, as he is famjliarly
called by his friends, is quite a society
man when his time is not taken up in
managing the Los Angeles basbasl nine
and 10 10, the celebrated mascot. The
other evening Mr.. Edwards called upon
some friends in the southwestern end of
the city. There was quite gathering
OF society young folks. Several young
gentlemen knew where Mr.. Edwards
was, and for joke sent out 10 10 in a
hack. Everybody who is anybody knows
10 10. He was attired in an Oscar
Wilde suit, and looked resplendent when
he walked up to ring the bell of the
Figueroa mansion. Manager Edwards
was thunderstruck when Jo 10 made his
appearance. Lets invite 10 10 in,"
said young lady who had read about
10 10 in the HERALD. 10 10 was very
soon ensconsed in an arm chair, the
cynosure of all eyes. ''How about the
hack" whispered Manager Edwards at
the first chance. "That's all right. It's
paid for" said 10 10, with nom
chalance that was very refreshing. 10
Jo made hit from the start. At the
supper he brought down the house by
attempting to eat raw oysters with
knife. 1t was 10 JOS first attempt with
the succulent bivalves. Just before
midnight the hackman, who had been
waiting outside all the time, rang the
bell and wanted to know who was going
to pay for the hack. 1t cost Mr.. Ed
wards just four big American dollars for
the pleasure of his mascot's company.
IF we win the next two games," said
10 10 to the sporting editor last evening,
81 will own the town"

FISHING FOR A GANDER.
How a Soldier Evadcd an Order Forbid
ding Foraging.

How n Soldier Evadcd an Order Forbid
ding FOraging.
A man who was caught in the act of
slinning neighbours sheep, covered
his embarrassment by declaring that no
sheep could bite him and live. The
logic of this is equaled by that of a Yam
llee soldier who once had n narrow cs-
cape from an enraged gander. The
men of certain Maine regiment, which
was in the enemy's country in 1862, con-
sidered the order mo foraging' an ad-
ditional and uncalled for hardship. One
afternoon about dusk n soldier was seen
beating rapid retreat from the rear of
a farm house near by, closely pursued
by gander with wings outspread, whose
feet seemed scarcely to touch the ground,
and from whose beak issued success
sion of angry screams. The fugitive
was not re-assured by the cries of the
gander's owner: "Hold on, man, hold
on! He won't hurt you."
"Call off your gander! Call him off"
shouted the fleeing soldier. Neither
man nor gander stopped until inside the
camp-lines, when the soldiers friends
relieved him of his fierce pursuer with
the aid of the butt of n musket "Did
that gander think he could chase me
like that and live?" the soldier exclaim.

GEORGE HOUGH AGAIN.

Woman.

Fined 800 for an Unprovoksd Assault on n
Woman.
George Hough. the Alexandria printer. who
served time in the penitentiary for killing
another printer near the city post Office about
six years ago, was prisoner in the Police
Court this morning. He was charged with
having committed an unprovoked assault on
Mamie Carroll, who lives on d street in the
Division" The assault occurred about 10
O'Clock last night near 18th and streets, and it
is not Hough's fault that the woman was not
more seriously injured.
She had left her home on account Of the
warm weather and started out for stroll as
far as the agricultural grounds, and when near
the corner of 18th and q streets she met Hough
who said to her, Hello, grille, where are you
going?' Il don't know you" said the woman.
and she continued on her journey. As she did
so she looked around just in time to see the in
toxicated mans arm raised though he was
about to throw something and when she turned
her head she was struck with stone.
The blow was so severe that the woman was
dazed for a few minutes. Upon recovering her
senses she met Policeman Boyce, to whom she
related the story Of the assaultand described
the man 80 perfectly that the officer went off
and arrested Hough. He was under the infu-
ence of liquor and upon his arrival at the first
precinct station he gave his name as Frank
Mason.
When the case was tried in the Police Court
this morning Hough denied the charge and
gave as an excuse for being in that nelghbor-
hood that he was on his way to the electric
light plant to see one of the workmen. The
Identification by the womaIbwas complete and
Judge Miller held the PRISONER guilty Of the
charge. fine of Sl0G or four months was
imposed. The prisoner was committed.
Hough subsequently paid his fine.
