FIXED 1T AT MIDNIGHT

The Davis Brothers Repair Their Side
walk in the Small Hours.
81 put it down in the night. because 1
was told the neighbors would make a
kick and send for an officer, if 1 did it in
the daytime"
That was the testimony of l. E. Davis,
when he came to testify in the trial of
himself and his brother, L. B. Davis,
charged with violating the sidewalk or
dinance.
Officer Wilson testified that he found
the defendant putting new plank in the
sidewalk in front of the house where
they lived, and arrested them. The
property was at the corner of Seventeenth
and II streets.
One of the defendants, I. Z. Davis, tes-
titled that he was laying down some
planks on the walk. The property be-
longed to Judge Tilden, and lady had
hurt her ankle there. The lumber was
procured, and he was instructed to put it
down after dark so that objection would
not be made. He was engaged in doing
so when Officer Wilson came along and
arrested them. The boards were not
nailed down by him.
Z. q. HarJ, attorney for the defendants,
argued that the ordinance was unreason-
able and an invasion of the rights of citi-
ZenS.
X. I. Devlin, who assisted the City
Attorney in prosecuting the case, said
the otfense was clearly proved and that
an intention was clearly shown to violate
the ordinance if possible, without being
detected.
City Attorney Post read an extract
from decision stating that such an or
dinance is not unreasonable.
Attorney Hart said Mr.. Tilden simply
wished to prevent further accident by
putting these boards down. He did not
wish to violate any ordinance and stood
ready whenever the sidewalk was con-
demned and notice given him by the
Street Commissioner to put down ce-
ment sidewalk.
City Attorney Post said that Mr..
Tilden was large property owner, a
lawyer and an old citizen. and yet in
structed the defendants to do this work.
The residents OF the block, rich and
poor, are putting down new sidewalks
and those who are abundantly able
should not try to evade the ordinance.
Judge Buckley agreed with him ap-
parently, as he found the defendants
guilty and ordered them to appear for
sentence Tuesday morning,

CRUSHED 70 DEATH.
The Driver of a Wagon Gets in
Front of a Train.
How Charles Mahrt Lost His Life at
Guthrle's Station Yester-
day Afternoon,

Charles Mahrt, an employe of Mohr &
Yoerk, the wholesale butchers and pack
ers, came to his death in shocking man
ner yesterday afternoon.
Shortly after O'clock he was driving
in the vicinity of Guthrie's Station, east
Of the city, just as the Placerville train
which leaves at 4:l0 was PASSING that
point. Mahrt's route lay right across the
track. and although the country is quite
open in that locality, and trains can be
seen considerable distance off in either
direction, he seemed to be utterly OBJ
livious 10 the fact that one was approach
ing, and headed for the track just as the
train arrived at that point.
The result was that Mahrt's vehicle and
the locomotive came together, with the
result that Mahrt and his horse were
killed and the wagon pulverized into
chips.
Several persons were in the vicinity
and saw Mahrt's danger, and they called
to him, but he paid no heed to them and
probably did not hear their cries of warn
ing. d. L. Kerr, the letter carrier, and a
man named Phinney, each tried to at
tract his attention, but without success.
The engineer of the locomotive. as soon
as he discovered Mahrt's danger, blew the
whistle and clapped on the air-brakes,
but it was too late.
Mahrt was not run over, but was killed
instantly by the collision. A large hole
was found in his head, one arm was
broken, and the body was otherwise
bruised.
friend Of the unfortunate man said
last evening that the latter leaves a wife
but no children.

SERIOUS ACCUSATIONS
E. OppenheiIn Charges r. A. Archibald
With Fraud.

w lCn frauu.
r. A. Archibald petitioned the Superior
Court some time ago to be declared in
solvent and now asks to be discharged.
E. Oppenheim by his attorney, Albert
M. Johnson, filed an objection to Archi-
bald's application yesterday. He AYERS,
first, that he is creditor to the extent of
S2l3 by virtue of a judgment obtained
against Archibald but unpaid by the
latter. Oppenheim then goes on to declare
that he further objects to Archibald's dis
charge on the ground that the applicant
swore falsely in his affidavit annexed to
the petition in insolvency, as to the ex-
tent of his property and Indebtedness.
de says, further, that he believes Archi-
bald concealed part of his effects and
books and wrongfully appropriated to his
own use certain money belonging to the
estate which was not disclosed by his pc
titlon, schedule or inventory. And,
further, that Archibald has collected
money due him since the commencement
of the insolvency proceedings, and that
he has not informed the court of the same
or accounted for the said money.
In conclusion, Oppenheim says he is
Informed and believes that the debtor
has been guilty of fraud and willful neg
lect in the care, custody and delivery to
the assignee of the property belonging to
him at the time of the commencement of
the insolvency proceedings.

The Last ENGLISH Rabbit.

The game of the world is decreasing,
and as new lands are opened to civiliza.
tion so it will get less and less. In the
struggle for existence, there will be no
room for the sportsman. His require
ments will grow more modest as time
advances, but they will not be satisfied.
The last British wolf was killed in Suth-
erlandshire about the year 100 by man
named Poison. Who will be handed
down to posterity as the slayer of the last
British rabbit What pathetic picture
might be drawn of the last cock pleas
ant! Perhaps some Macaulay of the far
distant future may astonish. his readers
by his account OF what went on in the
rural districts Of Great Britain in the
nineteenth century.
He would relate how, owing to the
scantiness of the population, men used to
shoot partridges and pheasants by the
thousand on ground then and for gener-
atoms past the sites of immense towns;
telling how the great garden of England,
then mapped out into small tenements,
each laboriously and minutely cult
waited, with no waste of wood or hedge
row, used in those far away years to be
furiously ridden over by hundreds of
horsemen in pursuit Of an animal long
since extinct in the land and only known
to. the curious in old books Of natural
history. Magazine.
