DUCK SHOOTING.

Why Local Sportsmen Ask a Change
In the County Ordinance.
The Supervisors will be asked this week
to amend the local game law so as to al
low the shooting of wild ducks on the
10th OF September, instead of waiting till
the Ist of October.
The sportsmen of this county are al
most unanimous in the opinion that the
open season for duck shooting should not
begin on the lst OF September. as the
State law now provides, and for this
reason the Supervisors adopted an or
dinance making the lst of October the
opening day. Yolo County, however,
adheres to the State law, which permits
ducks to be shot month earlier than in
this county.
The result is that when October arrives
the home-bred ducks are about all killed
Off, including those that cross the river
from this side. While Sacramentans NAV
go over into \ olo and shoot they cannot
legally bring their game across the river
into this county.
This is manitestly an injustice to the
local spOrtsmen. ana as the next Legisla-
ture will undoubtedly pass an improved
general game law, they feel as ii they
should not be deprived of the cream of
this seasons shooting for the benefit of
those in aneighboring county who would
practically have a monopoly of the sport
during September.
While they do not ask the Supervisors
TO open the season as early as Septem ber
lst, they think that, under the circum-
stances, they should for this season be al
lowed 10 shoot on the 18th day of the
month.

ANOTHER TRAIN WRECKER CAUGHT.
Appleton, Alias Texas" Arrested Up
In Modoc County.
One of the Leading Spirits In the Ter
rible Crime Committed on
the 11th of July.

United States Marshal Baldwin and the
officials Of the Southern Pacific Company
are rejoiced over the capture of w. Il.
Appleton, better known as Texas" one
of the men implicated in the wrecking of
the train in Yolo County on July l1th.
After completing their fendish work
several OF the wreckers returned to this
city, but Texas and one Kelly struck
out for other parts. Descriptions of the
men were, however, sent in all direc-
tions, with their photographs, and the
officers have had little doubt that both
would be captured.
Among those who have been pursuing
the fugidves are Deputy Marshals Shea
and Murphy. They have telegraphed
from Alturas, Modoc County, that
Texas" was in jail there, having been
captu red by Sheriff Parker of that
county. The prisoner has been turned
over to the Deputy Marshais, who will
take him TO Woodland. The prisoner
who was striker, is about 26 years Of
age.
Appleton. it is said, was armed with a
rifle, which he used to brighten some
men away while he and others were en-

This man Texas" was very much
wanted by the officers. Young John
Sherburn, the lad who drove the Worden
gang to the trestle where the track was
torn up by them, states that when Wor-
den ordered him to drive to Second and
J streets, they met Texas" and Worden
told him to hurry across the bridge.
Texas" called Worden out of the buggy
and whispered to him. Texas said he
had saddle horses. Worden said he had
a rig and didn't need horses.
over in Washington one man ordered
Sherburn to vacate the buggy. The boy
replied that Worden had ordered him to
stay there. The man ordered him to 90
into the caboose. While there he saw
men put tools into the wagon. Texas
put in rifle and cartridges and the claw
bar used to pull the spikes from she rails.
Worden and Texas and two other men
were there.
After leaving the trestle, Sherburn was
directed to drive toward Woodland. and
after going several miles Texas and
others got out, but Worden returned in
the buggy.
On being shown a photograph of
Texas" whom the railroad officials at
once suspected of being one of the wreck
ers, Sherburn promptly said it was that
of one OF the gang.

The reading-room receives a liberal
patronage these days. Donations of pa
pers and magazines from those interested
in advancing the work of the association
are always acceptable.
Several new members were enrolled
the past week, as the result of well-di-
rected efforts on the part of some of the
older ones. Additions are being made
constantly.
There are no regular classes in oper-
alton in the gymnasium just now. The
members are off on vacation. A goodiy
number rising athletes have put them
selves in course of training for an exhibit
which is shortly to take place at the State
Convention. Some of the members have
become quite proficient.

the State Convention, which will be held
in Oakland from the 18th 10 the 10th of
Septeinb ber. at least twenty-five or thirty
delegates are expected to attend from
Sacramento. The total number of repre-
sentatives at the last convention in South
ern California was 250, but this year. as
the annual gathering is to be held in the
most populous section of the State. it is
believed that 800 or 400 persons will be
present to take part in its deliberations.
The new Y. M. G. A. building in San

sion of great interest to all vino attend.

TIMELY RESCUE.
A Boat Upset and Three Persons
Nearly Drowned.


Nearly Drowned.
Last evening party of young people,
consisting of Miss Lily st. Denis. Miss
Emma Buck, Miss B. Saunders, Walter
Cook and another young man, engaged q
boat to take ride on the river. They
had taken the boat alongside the fish
market at the foot of L street and began
to embark.
Miss Saunders and one of the young
men, whose name could not be aseer-
tanned, had seated themselves in the
boat aud the other two ladies stood erect,
while Cook, who also was stand ing in
the boat had hold of the fish barge.
In forcing the boat out into the stream
the pressu re from Cooks exertions and
the weight Of Miss st. Denis and Miss
Buck caused the boat to careen, throwing
all out except Miss Saunders and the
young man who was seated with her.
The accident brought forth cries for
help, and young man named Grant
Black, son of John Black, who conducts
bakery on Front street, went to the res.
cue OF the party. He caught hold of ISIS
st. Denis and safely landed her. and then
turned his attention to Miss Buck. Be-
fore he could jump into the river again
Cook had rescued Miss Buck after she
went down the second time. Then he
plunged into the river and swan after the
boat containing Miss Saunders aud her
companion.
The young ladies were taken in to Mr..
Blacks place, where they were made as
comfortable as possible.
Miss Buck suffered considerable from
having been under the water so long. and
