A California farmer living near Sacra--
mento was recently swindled out Of three
thousand dollars by the gold brick device.
He lodged complaint with the police but
that did not help matters in the least. It
does seem as though the gold brick had
played so many games, that it should have
become a chestnut and musty enough to be
known by every one, but it is still bitten at
as readily as of old. 1t is awful how the
American people do like to be humbugped.
Miss Lizzie McNeai, missionary from
Africa, says the salem Statesman, who has

tie civilized African girl, Dianna, aged

s. F. Bulletin: The Chinese Six Com
panies are said to have mulcted their conn
trymen to the amount of $4,000 to pay for
legal assistance in testing the constitution
aIty of the Geary act. It is fat fee, for
which good legal talent could be hired to
put every possible obstacle IN the way Of
executing the law of the land. While it is
possible that the supreme court might find
against the mprisonment-at-hard-lah
clause of the bill there is little doubt that
the main point, that of deportation, will be
upheld.
The Roseburg Plaindealer says Word
was received in this city that General M.
B. Holmes had been robbed of $4,000.
Particulars are meagre, but 1t hss been
the general belief that the general has
had considerable money buried on his
farm In the Camas valley, and that some
person has found 1t an appropriated the
same to his own use. Others are of the
opinion that the loss is purely an imag-
mary one, as he recently sold much of his
in order to satisfy judgment
against him arising out of the failure of
W. F Owens.
The cruel, heartless editor of the Hal
sey Neios perpetrates the following, and
still lives and prospers in that community:
" Everybody in Halsey yesterday we're 60
Ing their way, when of a sudden panic
seemed to reign on the streets. Men were
cursing, guns were fired, and women, ig-
norant of the fact, began to faint. Had
1t not been for the presence In mind OF
one of our citizens, who shouted that it
was nothing but lady in hoop skirt,
no doubt blood would have been shed.
The above is from our city correspondent,
who came home from Albany in 'puz-
zled' condition. We do not doubt the
above, but we have little faith in the
writer"
Fossil Journal: Mrs. Jos. Frizzell, of
Lost Valley, met with bad accident
while riding from home to ID. II. Smiths
place on Thursday. 1t appears that her
horse stumbled on the slippery hillside,
and she was unseated, falling backward
uphill on her right shoulder. The arm
was broken midway between the shoulder
and elbow. The accident took place near
Ed Smiths house, and she was able to
make her way thither. d. III. Smith, not
his years, made very fast

he mishap, aud DIR. Howard returned
with him Thursday evening and set the
arm. 1t was clean break, and
he patient is doing nicely.
