WHEN Jones, of Hutchinson made
the statement, Friday night that 1.-The
next congressman stands before you
tonight" he probably was not aware
that he was laying himself liable to a
charge of plagiarism. Those are almost
the exact words of Prince Jeems two
years ago; and they were not very
prophetic. If the great fgurer, Jones,
should happen to catch the re-
publican nomination we don't think
that any future republican aspirant for
congressional honors in the big seventh
will attempt to plagarize the doughty

An old couple, claiming to be man and

for the artist.

j. w. Dunn Meets with a Serious Ac-
cident at Davisville.
A man named J. w. Dunn, who was a
passenger on the local train from San
Francisco that arrived here at $40 O'Clock
last evening, met with very serious ac-
cident at Davisville.
1t seems that his destination was Dixon.
but the train had nearly reached Davis
vile before he discovered that he had
passed the former town. The conductor
then told him to get OFT at Davisville and
return by the next train going the other
way.
In switching at Davisville the train
backed down upon the bridge spanning
Putah Creek, and when it stopped Dunn
hastened out and in the dark ness stepped
off into space. He fell to the dry bed of
the creek, a distance of about twenty
feet, and when found it was discovered
that one OF his legs was broken.
The unfortunate man was brought to
this city and taken to the Railroad Hos
pital. An examination show ed that both
bones of the leg were fractured near the
ankle.

fellow. When overtaken the latter pro-
tested that he had done nothing, and pre-
tended to be very drunk.
Not satisfied, O'Malley summoned an
officer and the fellow was followed.
