SACRAMENTO SPORTING.
A Review of the Angling, Shooting
and Turf News of the Week.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, July 18.-The
practice run for the benefit of the new
members of the Capitol City Wheelsman
Club, taken last Sunday, will be supple
mented by another short, slow ride to
Florin tomorrow, and Captain Readmen
expects large turnout. It is his desire
to gradually extend these runs SO as to
harden the members without injurious
fatigue. This practice work will be con-
tinued as steadily as possible and will end
with the team race to take place in Sep
tember next.
The monthly shoot of the Pelican Live
bird Club takes place tomorrow, and as
doves are reported as still keeping shy OF
the passes it insures good attendance at
the traps. L. s. Upson and Russell r.
Flint left for the slough house this morn
ing for a days bout with the doves, which
are reported to be plentiful in that locality.
a. A. Barnes and I. G. Catchings, Capitol
department employees, have just returned
trout of the McCloud River districts.
During their absense they took a forty
mile trip on foot up the river, camping
wherever night overlook them. During
this trip they captured fifty-seven trout in
three hours fishing, all of good average
size, weighing one and half pounds. They
claim that the most exciting sport Is when
salmon takes the fly, this always results
in battle royal, leaving one nearly ex-
hausted from combined excitement and
work when the noble quarry lies dead on
the bank. During their outing they
captured nine salmon.
Alex Rosborough, the popular whar6n-
ger of the Jackson-street wharf in San
Francisco, has been spending his vacation
in the neighborhood of Cisco, the guest of
Francis Smith and wife of Oakland, who
have established camp near the head
waters of the Yuba and are gypsying in
great style. Mr.. Rosborough was one OF
party of three who killed seventy-two
trout In fifty minutes. The trout in the
Yuba are of the Eastern variety and ex-
tremely shy, the slightest shadow on the
water being sufficient to send them scurry-
ing TO distance; and they have been
alarmed so frequently by inexperienced
anglers that 1t IS almost an impossi bility
to take any. At Fordyce dam the
waters are reported as oyerstocked, the
hsh being more than plentiful, but ex-
tremeiy poor and thin. 1t is feared that
all the fish In Meadow Lake have been de-
stroyed, as last winter, just before the
great snowfall, it was found necessary to
turn nearly all the water from the lake
into Fordyce, and the heavy snowfall soon
made the remainder mass of heavy slush
that froze solid, and must have crushed
them, as none have been seen to leave the
lake for their usual spawning grounds.
Messrs. White. Burnham, McCne and Eek
hart, who are roughIng it in royal shape at
Wrights Lake, above Placerville, report
great catches of trout and excellent
all-round sport; the fishing in the
Strawberry Valley district is improving
rapidly. DR.. Manson Towles, an enthusi.
astlc knight OF the rod, reports the trout in
the headwaters of the American as more
abundant than ever before known, and
claims to have no difficulty in returning

according to last reports, are Druce, Abel,

The team OF university cricketers to play
in America this fall mas been partly made
up. The team will leave southampton on
August "a next, and are expected back in
England about November 8. The team is
as follows: Messrs. Frank Mitchell (cap-
tain), N. +. Druce, G. E. NJ. Wilson, r. A.
Studd, ID. II. Marriott, w. Hemingway, G.
d. Robinson and w. w. Low of Cam bridge,
and Messrs. +. A. Phillips and II. A. Ark
wright of Oxford, all of whom have def
initely promised to go, while the following
have been asked to complete the party:
Messrs. +. III. e. Cunliffe, J. =. Hartley
and V. 7. Hill of Oxford.
The programme is as follows: Septemo

The Grace testimonial fund has passed
the 40000-shilling mark, and the money
still comes in.
Among the recent important events IN
the East are the following: At Phla-
delphia, July 6, Germantown beat Merton,
129 to 12S; Germantown seconds beat
Merton seconds, 154 to ia. a cluo-record
match between Belmont and GermantoWn
resulted in victory for the latter by 24S
to 123.
Henry Howard Houston, who died on
June 211n Philadelphia, Pa, was tor many
years prominent supporter OF cricket IN
that eity He was member OF both the
Philadelphia and Germantown cluos, ana
the former owes its present hne GROUNDS
to his generosity and helpful interest.
Burrows, the professional OF the Detrolt
Athletic Club, recently scored 202, not out,
of total of S54 made by its team against
the Chatham Club.
II is amusing to note with what serious
ness the Eastern press notices and COM
ments upon California Australia VS..
world" matches. 1t seems to puzzle the
sportinr editors that an Australian team
fof well-known amateurs should content
itself with q single match, and that
against a Western club 1t would be an
act of kindness for Secretary Ben Clark to
explain that the Australians in question
are all memb bers OF local clubs.
The leading cricket-ball manufacturers
in England are turning out large quanti-
ties OF green-dyed balls for use on COCOA
nut mating, which is quite extensively
used in India, Africa. and elsewhere. 1t is
claimed for them that they are much
easier seen and retain their color longer
than the red ball. A consignment of these
novelties has, l understand, been ordered
by local firm. The recently formed Mill
Valley Club have been debating whether
or not to dye their mating green, which
might be as effective a plan as changing
the balPs hue-if more roundabout one.
Tomorrow the Paeifics are to play the
Bohemians at Alameda. There is no fix
ture for Klinkneryille, so the other clubs
will have chance to practice. 1t is to be
hoped that Anson's men will avail them
selves of this opportunity, for practice they
need and badly. UMPIRE.

The doctor also states that trout are being
taken as low down the river as Colfax, an
occurrence unheard of for years He at
tributes 1t to the entire cessation of hy-
draulic mining and the subsequent clear
ing of the water from debris.
Fishing parties up the river from this
city are becoming extremely popular, and
great catches OF catfish and pike are re-
ported. A party of twelve leaves the city
tomorrow for trip up the river and go
at the pike.
Handhall is becoming extremely popular
among the members of the Athletic Club,
and several exciting matches have been
held OF late. This evening L. Payne and
!: Nathan will compete for honors with G..
Newbert, s. MeGraw and Birdsall.
The result of to-day's races, the opening
day OF the Trotting-horse Breeders Asso-
cation, is creating great interest among
all sportsmen of this locality. There has
never been so much good talent brought
together before on the coast, ana the
guessers are all at sea about the winners.

ELECTRIC OUTFIT IN GOVERNMENT OFFICE.
An important change is about to be made
in the Government Printing Office in Wash
ington, where the whole of the heavy shaft
ing and expensive betting hitherto en-
ployed will be removed to make way for
an electric equipment. The Office is to be
entirely lighted by electricity, and it Is
estimated that this reform alone will save
the Government $1,000 month in gas bills.
Much of the machinery will be operated
by electric power instead OF steam, and
nearly all the work of several of the de-
partments will be done by electric motors.
The fact that 10000 feet of flexible cord

TICKET AGENTS FINED.

Two Cases of Cutting Passenger Rates
Are Severely Punished by the
Local Association.
The San Francisco and Oakland Passen-
ger Agents Association met yesterday and
fined two of its members for violating rules
in selling tickets below tariff rates.
Robert Capelle, agent of the North Ger
man Lloyd Steamship Company and a
local ticket agent of the Union Pacific
Railway, had been caught selling three
tickets to Plainville, n. j., at reduction
Of So on each ticket. He had acted on his
own responsibility, and for that reason was
fined SIS on each ticket. In all he lost by
the ira nsaction $45 in fines and 80 in re-
ducing the rate.
An outside agent of the Burlington route
who had sold two tickets to Boston at a
cut of 50 80 each was fined $50. In these
cases neither General Agents D. W. Hitch
cock of the Union Pacific nor w. ID. San
born OF the Burlington was aware of the
facts until notified at the meeting.

week, nearly all who could leave having
gone to the mountains on deer hunting
bent. The largest deer yet killed in this
section was brought to town Thursday by
7. G. Young. 1t was fve-pointer and
tipped the beam at 142 pounds. Mrs. n. IL.
Cox, one of the best rife shots in this
county, also captured beauty which
weighed 139 pounds. During the past
eleven years this lady has killed twenty
one deer, three wildcats, and much smaller
game.
The trout-fishing season is about over,
although along all the trout streams in
this district many campers are still found.

FRESNO SPORTING.

A Country Where Deer Grizzly Bear
and Small Game Abound.
FRESNO, CAL, July 19.-Fresno sports
men have recently formed club and the
interest in angling and shooting Is rapidly
increasing. On both sides of the city are
pretty rivers, soon to be stocked with
various kinds of fish; while on the steep
sides of the lofty Sierras and in the foot
hills, at their base, are numberless secluded
spots where game is plentiful and where
trout streams abound.
Five years ago several thousands of
young fish supplied by the State Fish
Commission were planted in some OF
the streams back in the mountains, and

SAN JOSE SPORTING.
Result Of Killing Game Out Of Sea-
Son-Poor Dove-Shooting.


SAN JOSE, CAL, July 1e.-The game
season has fairly opened in Santa Clara
County, but it is yet too early to give q
correct report of the situation. OF course
the topic of special interest just now is
deer, but so far a sufficient number of
antlers has not been brought in to give any
indication as to what the sport promises
for the season. 1t is said that deer are
quite plentiful on the Llagas and Pine
Ridge and vicinity, which, for years past,
have been favorite localities for hunters of
big game. There is number of deer in
the Permanenta and Stevens creek coun-
try, but the sport in those sections is most
ly reserved for the owners of private prop
erty.
Dove-shooting is not what it used to be.
1t is practically a thing of the past,
although there is some fair shooting in the
southern part of the valley, near Sargents,
and in the San Antonio Valley. Doves
have never been sufficiently protected and
the result is that in this county, as in
nearly every other county of the State,
they have been almost exterminated.
The first outbreak of the fishing fever
has subsidized, and now that the streams
are not overrun with amateurs the experi-
enced angler is having genuine sport and
great success. Trout are taking the fiy
very well and many good catches are re-
ported.
A large number of young RAINBOW trout
was placed in three or four of the streams
few weeks ago by Game Warden Macken-
zie, and 100000 more will soon be received
from the Fish Commissioners.

SUSIE, HIS sQUAw, DECLARES WAR
And Marries Her Husbands Murderer
in Order to Make the Punishment
Fit the Crime.
Married Her Husbands Murderer.

ROSEBUD, S. D., Jan. 5.-When Fast
Thunder and Plenty Bird murdered the
old Sioux chief, Red Horse, last week,
on the reservation, there was great
sensation. They are Carlisle school In
dians, and claimed Divine authority for
what they did. They were arrested and
released on bail. A few days ago Susie
Red Horse, the squaw OF the murdered
chief, went on the warpath with a big
knife in one hand and rifle in the
other. She had heard that her hus-
bands murderers were out on bail. AL
most Immediately she cut her hair of,
this action being traditionary declara-
ton of war. Then she gave away all
her property, and started on the trail of
Fast Thunder and Plenty Bird. Susie
has record. Fast Thunder and his
companion in crime remembered her
fighting qualities, and kept out of sight,
but the Indian police started in pursuit
of the widow. Just as she had struck a
clew the Indian police overlook her, and
she was compelled to surrender her
weapons. A few days later the police
arranged an ''atonement feast" The
friends of Fast Thunder and Plenty Bird
gave fhe widow number of presents,
and persuaded her to let the law take
its course. The gentle Susie is A years
old, but when she met Fast Thunder she
fell in love with him. He consented tc
take the place of the man he had muir
dered, since it would prevent the prose
cSting witness from testifying against
him.

Murder Instead of suicide.

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. 5.-There is
now strong presumption that John
Wall, the Wardner miner, whose death
in a lodging-house here was first thought
to be suicidal, was murdered. The au-
topsy showed that one of the bullets
passed through both yentricles of the
heart, tearing that organ to pieces. The
other shattered the skull and sent pieces
into the brain. 1t is not believed that
Wall could have fired either shot after
the other. Wall was union miner and
had made some bitter antagonists.

TACOMA, Jan. 5.-Two thousand volts
of electricity passed through Peter Pet

like lightning stroke. In making
