Bears In Twenty-Fou Hours.
ORovILLE, Oct. 9.-Game is unusually
plentiful in the mountains of Butte and
Plumas Counties this fall. w. w. Mason
says that while coming down from

man who had had wonderful luck.
Charles Dickinson during the day had
killed two bears and four deer. He had
the bears and three of the deer dressed
and hung up near the road, and said the
fourth deer was down the hill short dis
tance away. MIR. Mason himself saw
four magnificent deer, and tried shot at
each OF them with his pistol, but failed to
bring down any. On Monday Dickin-
son killed a third bear. making four deer
and three bears killed within twenty-four
hours.

Alarms were run in, but the department
had hard work in getting engines over
the flats, though this difficulty will be
obvlated as soon as the Eleventh-street
bridge, now building, is finished. One
engine went around the road two miles,
arriving Ia twenty minutes. Three en-
glnes placed on tlatcars arrived thirty
minutes after the alarm. The fire had
gained such headway that it could not be
extinguished until three-quarters of the
lumber, worth Sl2 per thousand was de-
stroyed. The fire was under control at
P. NJ. and was subdued at 3. Two en-
gines still pour water on the smolderin G
pile.
The machinery plant, consisting of en-
glnes and fans, was saved. The dry
house was 100 feet square, covered by
corrugated iron. Chief Bremmer and the
department did excellent work, and the
200 employees of the big mill worked with
the fremen. At one time IL appeared
that the entire plant south of the mill, in
Guiding the Wheeler, Osgood Company's
mill. was doomed, including $50, 600 worth
OF stock. There was little or no wind eX-
cept that made by the flames or the fire,
or 1t would have destroyed all of the prop
erty. Colonel GriggS, George Browne.
L. ID. Norton, Henry Hewitt, Jr., and
other owners Of the mill were present,
and were anxious spectators until they
found that there was no danger of the
mill itself being destroyed.

a Young Man Admits Having Killed
Gambler.
NORTH YAKIMA wash, Oct. 9.-Early
in the morning of the 18th of juno '"Tex"
Bagwell, notorious gambler, was shot
in the back and killed, as he was going
home. Three days were consumed in
the Coroner's inquest without developing
anything by which the guilt might be
fastened, but Nj. @. Wills, a local detec-
tive, has been working on the case ever
since, and about a month ago Mrs. Brass
ard, or Bagwell, who claimed to be the
wife of the old man, Frank Layergne
Omar Hervey and l.. ID. Joslyn were ar
rested on complaint of MIR. Wills, and
charged with the crime. Separate trials
were demanded, and to-day the case
against Lavergne was called. This de-
veloped sensational scene in court.
Omar Hervey, 10 years of age, one of
the defendants. voluntarily went upon
the stand and testified that, made reck-
less by liquor and concealed in the
shadow of building, he watched Bag
well approaching, and when the victim
was few feet away from him, and under
the full glare OF the electric light, he raised
the rifle which had previously been
handed him by Lavergne and sent
bullet through the heart of the unsuspect-
ing man. Hervey testified that Lavergne
had on several occasions approached him
with view to inducing him to kill Bag
well, claiming that he had been offered
$1,000 by Mrs. BagwelPs s former hus band to
commit the crime, and that half of that
amount should go to Hervey il he would
do the killing. The witness repeatedly
refused, but on the night OF the murder.
after Lavergne had filled him with
whisky, he led bin to the scene and
placed the gun in his hands. With the
direct examination the court adjourned
until morning. The effort OF the prosecu-
ton VIII be directed to prove that Mrs.
Bagwell hired Lavergne to put BagweIl
out of the way, and strong circumstanial
evidence will be brought in support of
this theory.

OAKLAND, Oct. 9.-Passengers on the
broad-gauge local train, which left East
Oakland for the ferries at o'clock this

END of the tender which protruded from
mud bank. The seven other coaches
did not leave tue track. Strangely enough
no one was seriously injured. The men

TO LESSEN THE DEVILS FOOLS.

lam asked for sentiment concern
ing April Fools day and pause in the
whirl and rush of a righteous warfare
to say that in my opinion time is far
too valuable and important factor
for moment to be lost in foolish jest
ing or senseless joking. The world,
especially in these days, is in far too
critical and dangerous position, So
cially and religiously, to allow of a
man with average sense-to say moth
ing of those who have consecrated
brains-to indulge in any other than
profitable and upright intercourse.
1t is a personal relief to me to feel
that in our ranks seventeen hundred
officers and sixteen thousand unpaid
local workers will be pushing with
might and main of soul an enterprise
which upholds sincerity and the ne
cessity of lessening the DEVILS fools.

April FOOLS day, cannot resist the
temptation to say that / think the
spirit of the holiday itself has always
been singularly misunderstood. The
day is really 10 be deemed pause in
times serious fight, when folly could
with propriety travesty wisdom, and
set the world smiling. As it is, The
first of April has come to be deemed
nuisance, when its observance is not
done away with entirely. April FOOLS
day is sadly in need of sorue one to
champion it and restore it to its right
full place in the calendar. 1t is not
simply the day on which the boys and
girls may make fools of their elders
with impunity. I suspect that there
was a time when it was regarded
rightly, far away as that time seems
to US now. Then the old people put
aside their serious looks and grew
younger instead of older.
If it takes wise man to be fool,
surely April first is the feast day
of the sages, when they can act on
Shakespeare's admonition: "Mingle a
little folly with your wisdom"
AS for those jokes which seem to me
good and appropriate to the day it
should always be understood that the
element of surprise is the essential
thing. Novelty is wit. Jokes must not
be cruel pranks. otherwise the day
would be given up to general hazing
of everybody. The most successful of
April Fool jokes would be to surprise
ones friends by change of character.
What rare joke it would be for the
confirmed miser to bestow a dowry
upon that niece of his who needs only
a little money to marry the lad of her
choice. If all the cranks would put
aside their hobbies for day. what fun
it would be for the rest of us.
This kind OF joke can be carried out
ad finitum and would never fail to be
successful. Let the tippler remain
sober to-day just as joke. The skim
flint employer can have a lark with
his clerk by granting that increase of
salary that has been talked about so
long. Let the clergyman-I say it
acknowledgement n sermon only an
hour long to-day instead of one of
four hours duration. am convinced
tnaJ the lOed NOu1u meet Win SUCceSS-
People too old for jokes On April
Fools day? Nonsense. Even the gray
heads can have their joke. The repro
bate roue can 80 TO church this morn
ing and explain that it is all joke on
his part. Many man is ashamed to do
a good thing because it is so unusual
with him that il would give him un-
pleasant prominence. But he can do
it to-day and escape with the adrnis-
sion that it is his April fool joke.
