started for the Tivoli theatre barrooln. He
met a man near Fifth and Mission streets

A Colossal Catch.

The fishing party which we mentioned
last week as spending a few days at the
Sluice Box canyon returned Monday,
with ruddy checks, towering appetites
and voluminous "reminiscences. The
weather was most favorable for anglers
and the prodigious story of a catch of
25G was corroborated by the fish them
selves, so large some Of them as to sur
prise the anglers of this locality. They
were mostly trout, g with here and there
Il grayling," these being the fish most
common in our mountain streams. The
part of the catch credited to the skill of
each individual is reported as follows;
O. B. Vinal, 90; Mrs. AL. Pierse, 81;
Mrs. VIM. Harrison, SO; Miss Mary Ham
ilton, 35; c: d. Ladd, % r. NJ Ray
mond, Ia; Miss Baker, 2. Al Pierse did
not fish, of course his record would have
OutdOne all the above if he had. The
only tangible reason for the married la
dies catching more than the single ones
is that the latter had so much to say
which preoccupied their time. Nobody
sworc out loud at any time, so the
fish were not hoodoocd in nyway
Mrs. Pierse and Mr.. Ladd were head
cooks, and it is needless to say that this
important part of the regime did not
lack for special attention. DIR. sandow
who does not fish, chopped up n Of
Ladd's biscuits with the axe and using
the fragments for slugs, shot several
grouse. Vinal went hunting but return
ed without the hOnOrs of the chase, but
claims to have seen one dear. He gives
no excuse for not catching it. The
whole party returned happy, and say the
sports Of that part of the country are
not to be excelled. Many fish have been
destroyed by dynamite in that place,
dead carcasses being seen in large num-
bers. No time should be lost in discoy-
ering the malefactors and serving them
the full penalty of the law.

An Electric Bicycle.

An inventor ambitious to be the first
to claim the invention CT a commercially
practicable electric tricycle. has patented
amachine which relies for motive power
on the storage battery. The singular
point in its construction is that the stor-
age batteries are carried around the cir
eumference of the wheel, preferably close
TO the tire, and there can be any number
Of cells, according to the power re-
quired.
1t is claimed that in this way the
weight OF the storage batteries is more
equally distributed, and in such a man.
ner as to cause the minimum inter-
ference with the efficient running of the
machine, while at the same time afford
ing a simple and easy method of con-
struction. The cells are connected by
wires to- insulated sleeves that carry the
current to a motor in the axle of the
wheel, which gives the motive power to
the machine,-St, Louis Globe-Demo-

Mighty Nimrods.

James S. Gordon who rarely misses
his aim, returned from hunting last
Sunday with q fine black-tailed doe.
VIM. MeQuarrle, who attended him re-
turned with the honor of bringing down
some grouse and rabbit, and altogether,
they had quite a load of the spoils Of
the chase. The deer was taken to the
room of the Tenderloin club, and hung
in the ice box for future re~feaence. This
ROOM, we pause to remark, has been the
scene of many an apicurean repast, where
the gods came down and poured out
sweet nectar to the health of the happy
members. DIR. Vidal, A. NJ. Lewis,
James S. Gordon and VIM. McQuarrie,
the two latter being distinguished hunt
ers, called the HERALD representative to
dine at 7 o'clock Monday evening on
the savOrv sweets of the deer, chicken
and rabbit. 1t was Il memorable Occas-
ion. The trencher fairly groancd with
its burden of tender meats. We make
no pretentions as a huntsman, but if we
must boast of any special valor it e%vinces
itself in Il manly disposal of what 9th
ers provide. The gentlemen, members
of the Tenderloin club, have our heart
felt thanks for a much appreciated invi-
tation to a most hospitable dinner.

The Legend of ChOCOrua.

Chocorua, which can be seer from
the poets home, is a tall mountain
perfectly bare on top and bereft OF
all vegetation. There is a native
legend in connection with it, as with
all old Indian localities, that is very
interesting.
Chocorua was the chief of a great
tribe who dwelt on the borders of
what Whittier calls "his broad Lake
Ossipee." For years the tribe and
their mighty chief were supreme,
but one day the white man came.
The strange visitors had conquered
all the other Indians, but Chocorua
was bound not to submit. For days
and days the battle ragged until the
chief alone was left, and he fled from
the conquerors. The white men fol
lowed him on and on, pressing close
behind, until the chief sped up the

Council Meeting.

Regular meeting of the Council was
held on Tuesday evening. There was
present Aldermen Healey, Mix, Pierse,
Raymond; President McAssey in the
chair.
The minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved.
The report of Marshal Putnam was
read and referred to city attorney for
further action.
The report of Street Commissioner
Boland for the month of September was
read and ordered filed.
Alderman Mix reported ordinance No
"a, relating to condemnation of private
property for public use, which received
its second reading and was put on its
final passage.
1t was moved and seconded that the
street commissioner, with the assistance
of n man, do the representing work on
the Denver lode at a rate of $3.50 per
day while employed at such work.
Claims to the amount of S4G.91 were
reported by the auditing committee and
the clerk was instructed to draw war
rants in payment of the same.
A petition from residents on Rock
creek and Johnston's gulch, asking for
arc lights, was read. Alderman Mix
urged at some length that the prayer of
the petition be granted. Alderman Ray
mond opposed granting the lights at
this meeting, suggesting that perhaps
new arrangements might he made with
the c~ompany-the lights redistributed so
as to allow lights at the points named
and ut the same time not increase the
expense. Aldermen Healey and Pierse
also opposed granting the lights at the
present meeting. Alderman Mix moved,
which was duly seconded, that the petit
tons be granted. Alderman Raymond
moved as an amendment that the petit
tiOns be laid over for a week and a com
mittee be appointed to see Mr.. Down
ing and arrange as TO rates before grant
ing the prayer of the petitions. The
amendment carried. The council as "A
