manhood. The league asks contributions.

the corner Of Sacramento street and Van
Ness avenue yesterday.
The Street Department employees were
promptly notified of the occurrence. They
attended 10 the matter by covering up the
broken street with few boards. They
failed to leave warning light, however.
Last night man happened to stroll about
in that vicinity. which is as dark as the
middle ages. He fell into the depressed
street and was Tesuscit2ted with some diff
Guilty. The mud which he carried off with
him created sensational vacancy About
an hour afterward a cab rapidly driven up
the street got into difficulty with the cave
