THE FOOTBALL CRAZE

Prospects Ahead of Some Very In
teresting Contests.
The football craze is still on the in
crease and great preparations are being
made for the various contests that are to
take place.
In its enthusiasm the Athletic Club
team has undoubtedly ''bitten off more
than it can chew" by agreeing to play the
Oakland Football Club, but the boys are
in it for the sport and for the sake OF get
ting the people of Sacramento interested
in the game, and their interiority in point
of experience may be partly offset by en-
thusiastlc support from the grand stand.
Nearly all of the Oakland men are old
and experienced players. Benson, the
Captain and quarter back" occupies
the same position in the team of the Uni
versity OF California, Pierce, the center
rush." also holds that position OH the
Varsity team. Tobin, the full back,D
was player in an Eastern college team.
and has since been playing constantly as
Captain and full-back of the Olympics of
San Francisco. Ransom, right half"
and Hutchinson, left end" are undoubt-
edly two OF the most promising players
in the field. They enter the State Uni
versity next year, and will add great
strength to the college team. The other
members nave all played more or less.
but are not SO conspicuous as those al
ready mentioned.
on the other hand, the local team is
made up of men who with two or three
exceptions had never played the game
before they began to practice for their
coming match. So while they have ex-
cellent material, they are green and have
little conception of team work; but thew
are full of grit and hope to play well
enough to make things interesting. No
great changes in the team have been re-
ported since last announced. Bentley has
been asked to play, and he will probably
be placed as right tackle"

Against Ten-Cent shaves.

There is a little breeze in tonsorial
circles. The BARRIERS Union is kicking
at the ten-cent shops, in which they say
the men, even though working at union
rates for piece work, cannot make more
than about one-half the union rate per
week.
The members of the union say that all
the ten-cent shop proprietors in the city
have agreed to raise the price of shaving
to fifteen cents, except one, and there is
talk of boycotting him.

A DESPERATE THIEF.

Being Caught, He Violently Assaults
His Captors.
Thomas Burns was in need of a coat
yesterday forenoon to protect his body
from the chilling north wind, and he
concluded to put into practice the COM
munistic theory of the poor mans right
to portion of his neighbours goods.
Seeing a number of coats displayed in
front of a K street store, between Sixth
and Seventh he proceeded to help him
self to new and comely garment, and
fastened around into the nearest alley,
where he put it on his back.
But he had been seen by a couple of
railroad men-Conductor Louis Mativia
and Engineer Dugald ellis, Jr., who
gave Ahase and finally captured the thief.
They were proceeding down h street
with their captive, and when near the
Fashion Stables he stopped and showed
fight.
In the struggle Burns, who is a power
tul fellow, managed to kick ellis on the
ankle, throwing it out OF joint. Mativia,
however, proved equal to the emergency,
and after brief struggle with the fellow
laid him out with powerful blow. An
officer was sent for and the prisoner
landed in iail

yard and among the shops toward the

If they got across on the Yolo side they
should be easily detected, as they can get
away only by following the railroad to
Swingle's or taking up the levee TO the
Bryte ranch. In either case they should
be seen before getting many miles away.
There were rumors about last night of
persons having found number of rings
along the route taken by the men, but
they could not be verified.

CHANGED HIS MIND.
A CORTLAND Mans Experience Will
His Wife;s Brother.


His Wife's Brother.
Yesterday CORTLAND Deputy Consta-
bic came to the city in search of young
man named Charles Smith, who he de-
clared had forged his (Taylor's) name to a
check on which he secured S25 at Rio
Vista
An officer went with Taylor in search
of Smith, who was soon found in lodg-
ing-house. 1t seems that Taylor's wife is
his sister, and he said that the check
which he cashed was filled out and signed
by Mrs. Taylor, who used her husbands
name; that she had wearied of her hus-
bands ill-treatment of her and wanted
some money to pay her expenses in aban-
doning him. Smith said he sent his
sister Sl5 of the money for that purpose.
When Taylor heard this story he seemed
to transfer his anger from Smith to Mrs.
Taylor, and calling off the officer they left
Smith without undertaking TO arrest him.
The next chapter ofthe story will prob
ably come from CORTLAND.

An epidemic of robbery seems to have
broken out in the city. Last night about
Sis o'clock Chinaman named Fong All
Bong was held up on Sixth street, be-
tween 1 and j, by three young men and
relieved of Sl5.
Word was telephoned to the police sta
ton, and Officer Ferral went up and in a
short time returned with two of the
youths handcutfed together. One of them
gave his name as John Finn and the
other as John Rawles. The third one
had escaped.
The Chinaman said that Finn choked
him while Rawles went through his
pockets. The third one evidently got
away with the money, as when the youths
were searched at the station they had no
money. They claimed not to know the
name of their companion. The China
man identified them as his assailants.

P. j. Douahue of Kingman, Arizona,
stepped up to the ticket office at the depot
yesterday to buy ticket, and laid his
satchel, containing six new suits of

After purchasing his ticket he turned
around and found his satchel gone. He
notified the police, but this evening it
was returned to the depot, having been
taken by mistake, and the railroad COM
pany forwarded it to Donahue.

Deputy Constable Frank Swift, Jr.,
denies the statement made by a San Jose
paper that after he arrested Angelo Boz
tano in that place few days ago he and
his prisoner went on a spree, and that
Boitano escaped, while Swift was gath

Swift says that Boitano was arrested be-
fore he Swift arrived in San Jose. and
that he was released on habeas corpus.
His own arrest was, he says, on charge
ofcontempt of court in rearresting Boz
tano. and That the court compelled him
to release the prisoner.

svaricious landlord who took away the
seed from his tenants wherswith to seed
the fields, and when harvest time came,
there was no harvest, and the tenants
for selfpreservation destroyed the land

past for our sdvsntagsP It seems not.
Look at the tenacity with which the
rich corporations hold to all the avenues
Of wealth. They mortgage railroads to
raise money to invest in mines and other
outside property. until the interest and
expenses cannot be paid; then they turn
over the roads to the peoples representa-
tive and tax the people in the way Of
freight charges until the road is on a
paying basis again; then it is turned over
again to these same wreckers to repeat
the sane process over again; and il the
people in their feeble voice should ask
control of the roads, after paying for
them, the voice Of the corporations and

people Bnd says, no, that IS pGtsrnGISsm.
Prior to our civil war in this country

mated.
Is this all? No; it is now proposed to
base all valne upon q commodity the
people do not deal in, and have not got,
and which the money changers are in
possession Of, viz. gold, so that the peo
ples Of this nation must bid against all
The nations Of the earth for that dollar
which is universally accepted by the
money changers.
This scheme will sink all nations to the
lowest depths of degradation. This
country will be filed with rowing bands
of marauders, whose homes have been
broken up and wives and children scat
tered by q vicious system Of laws,
which destroyed the daily svocation Of
the laborer by which he might obtain his
daily bread. He will owe no allegiance

him Of his all.
There are no less than 100000 men in
this country to-day whose families have
been broken up and the hearth stone

class laws for the absorption Of wealth
