out this afternoon at one OF the polling
places in the Seventh ward, where Re
publican primaries We're being held for
the selection of delegates to the Repub-
lean city and the Twelfth district con-
gressional conventions
Knives and pistols were drawn, and
for time It looked as IL there might
be bloodshed but nobody received more
than bruises. Fifteen police officers
appeared ON the scene and quelled the
riot.
II seems that the riot commenced
when A III, Luster drove up to the
polling place with shotgun and an
nounced himself an a. p. A. man, and
said ne was afraid OF nobody Another
version IS that he damned the a. p, A.
and said he was ready to fight any
member OF that organization.
HIS remarks, whatever they were,
incensed the crowd and n rush was
made for him. He drove on and es-
capped, but trouble continued when the
men, who We're later arrested. attacked
number OF negroes who had already
voted or who were waiting 10 do so.
for the reason, IL is said, that they were
supporting A. p. A, candidates.
a crowd OF several hundred people
gathered around the negroes, who were
knocked down and beaten, and the
single policeman present. finding that
he could not control the mob tale

CONSPABLES, TAKE NOTICE.

They Can Make Money by Arresting
Dove Shooters.
The open season for dove shooting does
not begin until the 18th OF July, but al
ready persons from this city have been
out in the country shooting these birds.
The law against killing game out OF
season is very strict, and all that is neces-
sary to do to enforce it is for township
Constables to wake up and attend to
business. They can make money. too,
while doing their duty, by arresting and
prosecuting violators OF the law.
Several persons have been shooting
doves up along the American River be-
tween this city and Folsom. They are
known, too, and may yet be arrested fol
their violation of the law.

Voluntary Poll-Tax GathererS Get
Themselves Into Trouble.
Officers Higgins. Hardy and Bagley
yesterday afternoon arrested George Irv-
ing, Joe Sprout and Thomas McCabe for
impersonating poll-tax collector. 1t IS
alleged that they endeavored to obtain
some money from number of China
men who arrived on the southern train
by representing that they were poll-tax
collectors, but owing to some circum-
stance or another the Cinnamon would
not yield.
+. They were detected in their work by an
old man named Joseph Kidder. who in
formed the officers. When arrested one
of them said he was helping Deputy
Sheriff Alter in his work of collecting
poll-tax from the residents of China
town, but that officer strenuously denied
having asked anybody to help him.
Sprout and Irving are well known to
the police, and their pictures adorn the
rogues' gallery at the police station
