The COLONEI'S NEOTAR.

The Colonel was as drunk as lord and
equally as dignited, last night, and the
combination was irresistibly funny. His
apparel was faultleSs, from his nigh hat
to his patent leather shoes, and the inn
maculate condition of his linen showed
that his jag was of very recent acquire
ment. He steadied himself before the
Metropolitan mahogany and blinked ten
derly at Billy Burdine. There was affec-
ton emphatic in his smile, and it curled
up the corners of his mouth in such a
tight knot that utterance was difficult
He maue two or three efforts to speak
and then shiver ran through his frame,
"Ur-r-r-r" he calculated. Horr skosh,
Bildy."
Hot Scotch, did you say, Colonel ?"
inquired the barkeeper.
Greet" was the sententious reply.
Burdine looked him over and picked
up a lump of sugar with the tongs
"We have just received remarkably
mild and soothing brand of Scotch
whisky" he remarked, as be placed the
sugar i'll glass and turned on the faucet
of the boiler. ppm sure there is nothing
else quite like it in town.
He stirred the water and sugar together,
made q feint with a bottle, deity twisted
piece of lemon peel, dropped it into the
decoction and placed the glass before
the Colonel. The latter raised it to
his lips, and everyone could see that he
was bracing himself to keep his hand
steady. He slipped the liquid with the
dainty delicacy OF a connoisseur.
"Thash good ~ he said, with emphasis,
'shimply jeelishus! Make er nozzer.u
Burdine made him another, and then
another. The Colonel Strengthened him
self up and smiled broadly again.
''Thash stuff knocker cole out Guesh'l Ii

He went out and got into waiting cab,
and he won't know until he reads this

CASE OF GENERAL HEWSTON.
CHARGED BY THE CORONER'S JURY
WITH MANSLAUGHTER.
A Rider Saying 1t Was Not Believed
the Wound Causing Burton's Death
Was Inflicted WillfulIy.

Special to the RECoRD-UNroS.
LONDON, June 5.-Dr. George Danferd
P. Thomas, Coroner. held an inquest to-
day upon the remains of George Burton,
the itinerant musician killed May 30th,
in Acton street, by General john Hew
ston of California, who thrust the point of
his umbrella into Burton's left eye.
Priscom Ricketts,. solicitor. represented
General Hewston, who was present.
Mrs. Burton, widow of the musician,
did not wish to see the body, but identi-
fed the clothing as having belonged to
her husband. Mrs. Burton said that she
had been married twenty-five years, and
for four years had been separated from
her husband. They had four children,
the youngest nine years old. Burton
made his wife an allowance of six to
eight shillings per week. He earned his
living as musician, playing outside of
saloons.
Benjamin Bowring, vestry employe,
said as General Hewston passed his arm
struck harp which was carried by one
OF the musicians. when the General there
upon gave the instrument push and
Burton, who was carrying tin whistle
and stool, said: why did you push
that harp?" 70 this the General replied.
1T hit me on the arm" Burton re-
marked, You had no business to do
that" The General thereupon exclaimed,
81 will poke this in your eye." at the
same time raising his umbrella. Burton
said, "Do it.' The General then thrust
the end of the umbrella into Burton's
eye, withdrew it and walked down the
street. Witness said he turned away his
head us he felt sick. Soon aiterward he
followed the General and said to him:
you shall not get away" Another man
shouted out: collar him ~ Bowring'
added he then stopped the General until
the police arrived
Upon cross-eXamination Bowrlng said
Burton carried a camp-stool, which he
folded up until it had the appearance of
thick walking stick. The man carrying
harp was walking with Burton, and
third musician was a little way ahead of
his two companions. 1t had been raining
and the Generals umbrella was folded up
tightly. General Hewston, the witness
SAID, wore spectacles. The umbrella did
not go above the level OF the shoulder. 1t
was thrust forward. Witness was quite
sure the General said: "I'll poke this in
your eye"
Solicitor Ricketts, Remarked: "That is
different statement from the one you
made in the Police Court"
According to Bowring the whole incl
dent occurred in one minute and a half.
The Coroner's jury returned verdict
holding General Hewston guilty of man
slaughter, and added rider saying the
jury did not belieye the wound which
caused Burton's death was inflicted will
fully. 1t is believed he will eventually
be acquitted.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand Gcres Of
land in the heart of Tehama County Tor the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 12O, 160 and 32O acres
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They Will be sold ia
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is TO have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in-
tcrest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
surcd that this is an opportunity TO purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre.
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to corre-
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
nnds, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecaliy adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove TO
home-seei1ers that this is opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at 81 o an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
