TORS ARE GUYED IN THE

the California editors has been duly
received:
| They have been here several days
now and a great ado is being made
of them. They reached here on a
special train and the hotel runners
and bunko men who had been post
cd on their arrival were laying for
them at the depot.
Clip Craig, of the Redlands Citro-
graph, was the first man they took
into camp. They threw him into
one hack and his wife into another,
and it was four days before they
could find each other AS they are
newly welded couple, their disgust
can be well imagined. Clip had all
the police in town running about and
Mrs. Craig advertised for the return
of her husband in the Chicago
Times. offering $40 reward, all the
money she had left after settling with
the bandit hickman, who caps for
| the Palmer Hotel on a commission.
Ed. Colnon, of the Stockton Mail,
is the maddest man in Chicago.
He put up at one of those Budden>
sick hotels, which have grown up
like mushrooms in the night and
while he was snoring loudly,
woman, who had room just over
him, fell through the floor.
She was connected with Carver's
Wild West Show as fat woman,
ard tipped the beam at 402. When
the adipose beauty came down on
top of Colnon at 2:36 p. M, bed and
all, the irate Stockton editor crawled
out from under the debris ard began
blowing whistles for the police, none
of hich are up in Chicago at that
! hour. Investigation showed he had
two ribs broken.
Most of the Southern California
editors are regarded as jays by the
Chicago press, and the Tribune gave
two columns describing their rustic
appearance, with funny illustrations.
They 90 about the Fair grounds
hauling everybody up to see the
navel orange display AID carry Or
anges about in their hands showing
them to everybody.
They exhibit huge disgust to
anyone who will not drop everything
else and rush up to the California
building to see oranges piled up in
pyramids or arranged in letters.
A box of Col. Forsyth's raisins
from Fresno county, set them in a
high state of excitement yesterday
and they were denouncing the Chi
cago press because five or six col
umns were not devoted to it.
SO far nothing is up but the builds
ing, but the various Commissioners
and their dude clerks are hauling
down their salaries very regularly.
Jim Yerington, our live Nevada
Commissioner, is up and doing night
and day. He is the youngest and
livllest Commissioner at the Fair.
Yesterday he had queer exper-
fence.
He put his arm around lady's
waist and had his face slapped for
his pains. 1t happened in this way:
A dummy engine was coming
along the track and just as the lady
was about to be struck by the engine,
Jim grabbed her and swung her clear
of the track as the engine slid by.
The woman's back was to the en-
CINE and she thought it was some
one taking undue liberties with her
waist and she brought the back of
her hand across her rescuers face
with slap that woke up Co'um-
bian guard twenty feet away.
Jim retired in good order and a
few moments later the woman's hus-
band, who saw the matter in its right
light, followed with profuse apologies
and a shower of thanks to Jim for
saving his wife from serious injury
and perhaps death.
''She wants you to come back and
accept her apologies and thanks,
continued the husband.
you'll have to excuse me" said
Jim.
"This is the first time / ever got
my mouth slapped, for placing my
arm about a woman's waist. | never
heard of such a thing IN Nevada.
All no, no explanation necessary.
