HE Was REAL HORRID.
Happy Joe Strikes an innocent and
Harmless Little Creature.
An Eastern Young Mans Pugilistic
Aspirations Destroyed-A Most
Ridiculous Affair,

About two weeks ago a fiashily-dressed
muIatto presented himself to Manager
Browne of the Comique Theater and de-
clared himself to be highly scienced ex-
ponent of the art of slogging. In sup
port of this declaration he exhibited sew
eral letters purporting to be from high
moguls in the Eastern sporting firma-
ment, introducing Mr.. McCleveland" as
particularly bright rising star in the
pugilistic horizon.
Manager Browne saw q chance to give
his Sacramento patrons d rare holiday
treat, and at once matched the new arrival
for glove contest with the sable and
clever Happy Joe" of Los Angeles. The
latter was somewhat 10th TO face the East
ern whirlwind, and probably would have
backed out entirely had he not, only
few days previous, declared himselfready
to meet anybody of his own weight.
Well, the collision took place Saturday
evening, and Happy Joe" was led into
the roped arena, as everybody thought.
TO be slaughtered. The clipper little
'Whlrlwlnd' from the East hoped into
the ring, respondent in dark, close-fit-
ting knlckerbockers, Vari-colored belt,
slIyer-buckled carriers, and everything
going to make up an arena dude. He
was cheered Justify, and in response
bowed dramatically. Everybody felt
sorry for Happy joe" The latter's sec
onds advised their man to be unusually
careful.
Then Referee Maroney called "time.n
Joe came up wary and watchfuI. The
dude-well, a roar OF laughter burst from.
the audience spontaneously when he
hoped out of his chair and showed his
shape. His dainty little figure and the
sweet, et1eminate manner in which he
put up his props" was enough to make
the Sphynx laugh. There was not a
muscle on his body, his arms were like
pipe-stems, and his chest could be
spanned with both hands. 1t was appar-
ent to all that the dainty little creature
had dreamed he was boxer-that he had
never been in the ring before in his life.
Happy Joe" became frightened at
the apparition, and for several minutes
had not the courage to strike at it.
Finally he did, and his left tapped it on
the cheek, while his right landed lightly
on the somnambulist's neck. The look
of mingled surprise and horror that came
over the latter's face was painful to be-
hold. Joe was still afraid that he was
being tricked, however, and did not put in
any heavy blows.
In the second round, however. he went
after the new man in earnest, and the lat
ter, to avoid dying of fright, curled up on
! the floor and played "'possum."
The audience fairly howled with merri-
ment, and the unanimous verdict was
that it was the funniest pantomime ever
seen in Sacramento. Manager Browne
was disguised and declared that in the
future he would keep shy of Eastern
celebrities.

Some Points to Be Submitted by the
Legislative Committee.

Some Points to Be Submitted by the
Legislative Committee.
The Legislative Committee of the
Freeholders has agreed upon a partial
outline of charter, which will be pre-
scented at the next meeting of the Free

summarized:

and nine Trustees, one from each of eight
wards and one at large, the one at large

They shall be elected every two years
and hold for four years, save and except

numbered wards shall go out at the ex-
plratlon OF two years, and thereafter
members ofthe board shall be elected ev-
cry two years for a four-year term.
They must have been residents of the
city for at least three years, and of the
ward from which they hail at least one
year, and they shall all be voted for by
the citizens of the entire city.
The Mayor shall not be a member of
the board, but shall have the veto power,
which cannot be oYerriden save by vote
of six of the Trustees.
He shall also have the appointiye power,
subject to confirmation by five of the
Trustees.
$3.50 per year, So to be deducted for every
absence from regular meeting.
All work of the Trustees shall be done
in open session.
No person is to be eligible to any of the
above offices who is less than twenty-five
years of age.
The Trustees shall have the power to
try, and TO remove from Office, by vote
of i've members, appointees against
whom charges have been made; and to
remove at any time, by vote of not less
than seven of the members. any ap-
Dointee. when, in their judgment, the
public service will be improved thereby.

Trustees shall have power 10 provide and
maintain a Morgue; also to regulate the
maintenance of acid orks, slaughter
houses, wash houses, launGries, tanner
les, offensive trades. and all other manu-
factories, works and business of every
description that may endanger the public
safety, health or comfort, and to restrict
the prosecution thereof TO such fixed
limits as may seem proper, or exclude
such works and business from the city.

IN charter work, subject to approval by
the Board of Freeholders and ratification
by the Committee on Revision.

ALIENS ALLEGED SLAYBRS
An Effort to Have the Grand Jury De.
clared an Illegal Body

An Effort to Have the Grand Jury De-
clared an Illegal Body.
Gordon, Smith and Furlong, three of
the men indicted by the Grand Jury for
the murder of Robert Alien, were brought
before Superior Judge Van Fleet on
Saturday for arraignment.
The case of Furlong was called first.
but at the request of the defendants at
torney, w. A. Anderson, the case was
postponed until February 18th.
Smiths attorneys, the Messrs. Bruner,
submitted demurrer and q motion to set
aside the Indictment, but both were over
ruled, and the case was set for the same
date as the Furlong trial
Attorney George A. Blanchard ap-
peared for Gordon, and also moved to set
aside the indictment. He challenged the
Grand Jury on the following grounds:
That the defendant had been required
to appear before the Grand Jury, which is
contrary to law; that the Grand Jury was
preJudiced; that the requisite number of
ballots were not drawn from the box:
that notice of the drawing was not given;
that the drawing was not had in the pres
ence of the officers designated by law:
that state of mind existed on the part of
the Grand Jurors which prevented them
acting impartially and without prejudice
to substantial rights Of defendant; that
a requisite number of Grand Jurors did
not concur in the indictment; that per-
sons not members of the Grand Jury
were permitted to be present when the
charge embraced in the indictment was
under consideration"
This case was put over until next Fri
day.
The cases of Mushett and McKaig. in
dlcted for participation in the same crime,
were set for February 18th.

C0FFMAN'S CONTEMPT.
He viii Go to Jail if Sheriff Stanley
Can Find Him.
A Court Order That Was Not Obeyed-
An Unsuccessful Attempt at
kidnapping.

Sheriff Stanley is at the present time
lnquiring diligently as to the where
abouts of Franklyn H. Cof1man.
Coffman, it will be remembered, is the
high-tempered machinist who refused to
obey the order ofSuperior JudgeVan Fleet
to support his children. Coffman's wife
sued him for divorce, and he fought the
case bitterly, succeeding in preventing
the separation. Still he would not live
with his wife, nor would he contribute
anything toward her support OF that of
the children. When this condition of
affairs was presented to Judge Van Fleet
that official gave Cotfman five DAYS in
which to pay what he had been ordered
to pay for the support of the children,
with the alternative of going to jail.
Before the five days were up Coffman
declared that he would wreak a terrible
revenge upon his wife, whom he blamed
for all of his troubles. One evening he
waited about the house where his wife
and children were residing, and, when
he saw Mrs Cotfman leave the house to
visit neighbor, essayed to <idnap his
youngest child. His fourteen-ye ar-old
son, however, fought him off, and with
his cries brought to his aid several neigh
bors and passers-by, who were disposed
to handle Cotfman roughly.
The irate husband left the place declar-
ing that his family and the courts could
go further" and that they would never
get another 'cinch' on him. That night
he, it is now known, boarded the Oregon
express and before many hours had
passed was out of Judge Van Fleet reach.
The matter came up in court when the
five days were passed, but the courts de-
cree was not put into execution until
Saturday last. On that day Judge Van
Fleet formally ordered Sheriff Stanley to
take Cotfman into custody and keep him
in jail until the further order of the
court. The Sheriff is quite anxious to
obey the mandate of the court. but is 90
ng to have considerable tronhIe doing so

public, but it is said to be the largest ever
paid for horse for expectation from the
antipodes. 1t is stated in a Melbourne
paper that the only reason for the sale
was because the authorities insisted upon
taxing the horse at valuation of gIO, 900.
Musket, the sire of Maxim, is also the
sire of Carbine and Nordenfeldt, the two
greatest horses that ever ran in Oceanica.
