Waddell Il liar ADD used other rough
language, but had afterward apologized
ano the men had drank together. Yes
terday morning they met in the saloon
and after drinking together again went
into room III the rear of the bar to

stronger of the TWO men, made an at
tack on Dorley, who drew his pistol and
shot Waddell

SEARCHING FOR GOLD.

John L. Cardwell VIII Bore for the
Precious Metal Near Folsom.
There are no doubt untold riches buried
in the ground about Folsom and along
the American River which the primitive
methods OF the early placer miners could
not develop.
The Folsom Telegraph states that an ex-
pertinent that may end in important re-
suits is being inaugurated on the opposite
side of the river from that town by John
I. Cardwell. He intends to bore down
through the bedrock ten-inch shaft to
see If deposit of gold can be found.
Years ago opposite the place where his
experiment is being tried, on this side OF
the river, four-inch shaft was put down.
and pan out of s. resulted from a wash
out of one pan. Mr.. Cardwell thinks that
the place he is working at is much richer.
At any rate he intends to experiment and
find out what there is there.

A HIGH FOREHEAD
The Proprietor of the Rosebud Dive
Hits on an Idea.

The Proprietor of the Rosebud Dive
Hits on an Idea.
The red, red Rosebud dive on L street
is in full blast again, and has been for
several days and nights. Such trifing
matter as the absence of license doesn,t {
seem to make any difference either to the
police or the proprietor. There is an
election com. Z on, and the bosses who
are booming certain candidates have use
for the dives and the class of voters that
hang about them. The only explanation
advanced is that the Rosebud is now a
temperance" joint! Temperance drinks
in that quarter! Imagine Slogger Break
jaw marching up to the bar and asking
Cockeyed Sal to join him in a schooner Of
soda! Or Pickpocket Pete calling for ap-
polinaris for the crowdl Oh, it will be
decorous gang that will assemble nightly
in the Rosebud chapel for prayer meet
ing, and bible talks, and harmless, blood
chilling liquid refreshments. 1t would
be an outrage for anyone to assume that
the proprietor is breaking the law by
running the place without license.
