the sword of Massena was presented TO the
family in 1924 By General Lafayette during
his visit of that year. There is abundant
proof of the authenticity of both.

on the most intimate terms with General
Storms, who was in 1924 captain of the

IN those days. This troop frequently per-

Tamale Vendor Who Owns His
Corner of the Street.
There was a furry in tamales at Third
and streets last evening which at one
time seemed about to result in an Italian
riot.
One Alonzo has for some years taken
his stand at the vicinity mentioned,
where he rounded up and corraled his
tamales and seduced the dimes from
passers-by in return for the peppery
mysteries he dispensed. Last night q
rival appeared on the opposite corner
with a steaming can and lantern and
prepared to decoy Alonzo's educated
customers to his side of the street.
Alonzo watched with the eyes of an
argus, aud as soon as he conceived the
object of his wouldbe rival he decided 20
nip competition in the bud.
he assumed the stride of later Carl
baldi, which took him across to his
rivals stand in quick time, and he there
upon Kicked the can, tamaleS and lantern
OF the intruder about forty feet, more or
less, and stampeded the entire flock.
his competitor was at once offended
and made desperate attack upon Alonzo.
while the two brands of tamales pre-
sumably locked horns and the riot began.
Some one blew police whistle, and
Captain Bradley suppressed the trouble
In time to prevent suspension of travel

Half an hour later Alonzo stood

Two Men Arrested Yesterday, but
Turned Loose Again.
Nothing new has developed in the Tod
hunter murder case except the offer of
$500 reward and the description which
Sheriff Wyckoff sends of the murderers,
and which describes the older man as
having light complexion, gray eyes and
sandy beard, and the younger one as
having black hair. The general impress
sion has been directly opposite in both
cases, and people have been looking for Il
mddle-aged man with dark whiskers. 1t
is unfortunate that a misconception of
their appearance should have gone
abroad, If the Sheriff7s description is cor
rect, and it is TO be presumed it is, as the
murderers might possibly have been
found ere this had the right description
been given at first. A telephone message
having been received from Arcade yester-
day morning that one of the murderers
was thought to be making his way into
the city, Chief Rodgers went out to the
Twelfth-street bridge and Sheriff O'Neil
and Deputy Johnson to the railroad
bridge. Chief Rodgers arrested two men,
one of them German who could talk no
English, and who said when the cause of
his arrest was explained to him that he
would be willing to stay in jail week If
it would be the means of securing the
murderers. The other man was an
American, but neither man fitted the
Sheriff's description and they We're let go.

Notes Rolling In.
One hundred more notes from citizens,
pledginG money to the fund for factories,
were received yesterday by the Industrial
Association, making l64 in the two days
that have elapsed since the notes were
sent out.
Did ever people show quicker Or
more determined effort In behalf of local
progress?
The members of the association are
pleased beyond measure at the evidence
given thus far of the sentiment of the peo-
PIE IN favor of encouraging the establish
ment OF enterprises that will tend TO give
prominence and wealth to the commu-
nifty.
But this is really nothing new for Sac
ramentans to do. Despite all that may be
said against our people, they are the
most cheerful givers of any city in the
State. Within very. few years
past-the number of which can be
hand-Sacramentans have donated di-
rectly for charitable purposes, or ex-
pended in public improvements, upward
OF million dollars. They never hest
tate about taxing themselves when the
object in view commends Itself to the
judgment oil sensible men.
That the factory fund will reach the de-
sired sum there seems to be not the
slightest reason to doubt, but if it should
not nobody will lose anything by having
signed and returned one of the notes sent
out by the association, as these will all
be returned if there should be failure
TO receive the money needed.
In our advertising columns will be
found complete list of those citizens
who have thus far voluntarily voted to
tax themselves, and it will be increased
from day to day, as the notes come in."

japanese Entertainment at the Ger

The japanese tea and entertainment
given at the German Lutheran Church
last evening called out an audience which
filled the church, and the affair proved
very successful in all respects. The en-
tertainment given was novel and new in
most of its details and met the enthusi-
astic approval of all present.
There was an opening address by one
of the members, after which was given
the Pilgrims Travels" and pleasing
variety of music and humorous recita-
tons. Misses Emelie and Louise Schmid
rendered a vocal duet entitled when

The latter were impersonated by eight
young ladies in very prim and grotesque
costumes. and they went through long

creditably and caused much amusement.
At the conclusion of the regular enter
tainment L. Breuner acted as auctioneer
and sold to bidders many useful and or

Breuner as an auctioneer was a huge
success.
The evenings pleasure closed with re-

costumes to their many patrons.

Revival of the Story That He Is Not n
Bfgamist.
The San Francisco Chronicle of vester-
day devotes over two columns to showing
that George Jeffris, the engineer accused
OF numbering E. Olga Ayers, the station
agent at Brighton,is not guilty of bigamy.
The article says that Jeffris was never
married to Miss Nellie Eby, formerly of
Lathrop, and who has been living with
him and supposed to be his wife. and
consequently he cannot be guilty of
blgamy in marrying Miss Ayers. as he
was represented to have done, before a
San Francisco minister.
The article further states that it was
claimed that Miss Ely was married to
Jefiris by Rev. Mr.. Frost, but that GEN.
tleman denies having tied the nuptial
Knot, and furthermore, says he was not

There is really nothing new in all this
as both matters were referred to shortly
after the tragedy. 1t was Mrs. Jeffris
herself who is first credited with having

not guilty OF blgamy, on the ground that
she mad not been married to him,
