APor.HuNrER,s WORK.

He Aimed His Gun at the Farmer.
 Delos Platt, farmer who owns a large farm on Long Hill, near Shelton, had an experience with fellow who was hunting on.his land Sunday afternoon that made his hair raise. Platt was looking for his COWS in piece of woodland when he heard gun shot near by and on making investi- gations discovered the fellow picking up the bird which he had killed. AS the game law is not off until after the 1st of next month, and then it is also illegal to shoot on Sunday, Farmer Platt marched up to within speaking distance of the poacher, but before he could get near enough to capture the chap he was heard. The hunter turned quickly around and asked what he wanted. Platt in turn asked him what he was doing on his land and if he knew it was illegal to shoot game birds before the 1st of October and then on Sun day. This seemed to have startling ef feet, as the fellow jerked up his gun and aimed it point blank at Platt and told him to get out or he would shoot him. Platt could not recognize the fellow, so it is probable he viii never be captured.

TEE SHERIDAN TICKET WINS.

An Uneventful school Electton-A
 Light Vote Cast-The Business
 Mems Ticket Elected by Substantial
 MajOrities-Full Returns of the
 Day.
 -s~ The school election of September 21 passed off without note or incident of any kind and resulted in the almost unanimous reelection of Major H. H. Strong to the board of education and the choice of ex- Mayor George F. Holcomb and Richard M. Sheridan by small popular majorities. The lack of any leading issue made whatever public interest there was center in the candidates. The vote was unusually light as compared with that of the last two or three years. It compares favorably, how
 ever, with any vote recently taken where
 there has been no vital principle at stake. The Sheridan ticket was elected honora-
 bly,, with but little expenditure of money. Most of the workers were volunteers and were hampered in some instances by the fact that the printed ballots for their side did not arrive till late in the day.
 In the Third ward the O'Brien men made herculean efforts and succeeded in polling 431 votes for their candidate, the only case where Major Strong's vote fell below that of any other nominee. The few Sheridan men present could not procure their tickets until 10:45 @. m. through the alleged de- lection of one of their own workers, who all day, it is stated, presented ballots l pasted with Tyler's name. The O'Brien | contingent also put forth extra efforts in | the Fourth ward.
 The returns from the various wards be- gan to come into the First ward polling place about 5:30 p. m. Till the close oi
 the count the election remained in doubt i The Seventh ward, in which Sheridan lives was the last to come in. His friendt
 worked very hard from early morning till | night and by o'clock had piled up 42e votes for him as against 188 for O'Brier
 and 120 for Tyler. This handsome ma l jority turned the tide of day. When the last vote had been counted ex-Mayor Hol
 comb was sixty-eight votes ahead of hii
 nearest competitor and Sheridan ninety
 one. The result was received with genera
 satisfaction. Leonard M. Daggett acted ai general moderator.

Gladly They Shake the Dust Of This
 City rom Their Paws.
 The two cinnamon bears which have caused their Frenchmen owners, the police and the city court SO much trouble were shipped off to New York yesterday. The meek and patient bruins, than whom no human could be more forbearing and cir cumspect, were declared by Judge Pickett to be too dangerous to the welfare of the city to be led by hand through the public streets. The brothers, Pancello and John Padeaux, in vain endeavored to hire a hack to convey their charge. After much parleying the animals were packed into the patrol wagon alongside of their owners and taken to steamboat wharf, where they were put aboard the Northam. Their des- tination is Jersey City.

Is the best policy, and old and well worn maxim, but if the headline serves to call your at tention to the fact that the G. O.

EXIT JULIUS CESAR.
End of Career That Started
With a Masterful Coup.

Julius Caesar, janitor at the Appraisers
Building, who, like his immortal namesake,
has had brief though brilliant career, has
met one OF the great crises of his life philo-
sophically, and lapsed to the ever-merciful
oblivion of private life. He was yesterday
sentenced in the United States District
Court to one year at San Quentin for burg
larry.
His career on this Coast began with his
masterful coup when he stole boat from
the vessel OH which he had shipped and
made his way to shore. After brief stay
in rivate life, protected and befriended by
the herif, he was thrust on the world to
make his own living. His genius was recog-
niZtd IN certain quarters and lie became a
JanltOr at the Apprais ers' Building. Con-
tact with criminals may have led him from
the Ways of righteousness, or il may have
been his contact with well-dresSed civiliza-
ton; anyhow, he was soon seen parading
tie spacious halls, measuring his pride by
the number of tiles lie could bestride, with a
fine Havana always between his teeth.
Gradually he spruced up and became a
portly dude.
About that time it was found that Com
missioner Houghton's cigars were disap-
pearing and that several other articles had
been taken from the office. julius Cesar
met his Brutus in Marshal Long, who called
him into his office.
