POLICE COURT MATTERS.

Russian jews Have Neiehborhood
Squabble Pay for the Booze.
Two families of Russian Jews re-
siding on Fourteenth street occupied
a considerable portion of Squire
Schroeder's attention this morning
in discussion of a neighborhood
squabble, in which Mrs. Eliza Sumers
assaulted Mrs. Letter with the wide
end of board. The unpleasantness
commenced by the Letter family
soaking Mrs. Sumers's little girl
with a bucket of water while the
child was playing in their yard. The
families have not been very neigh
borlv, anyway, and when the little
girl related her illtreatment to the
mother she went after the water
thrower with fence board. Mrs.
Letter was treated to an application
or two Of it, and vowing vengeance,
sought recourse through the law.
Mrs. Sumers was arrested on a
charge ofassault and battery. When
the families appeared in court this
morning none Of them could tell
their troubles in English and Simon
Goldberg acted as interpreter. Will
lam Jackson prosecuted. and after
all had said their say. Squire Schroe-
der taxed Mrs. Sumers So and costs,
but as she had been aggravated prior
to the assault, he suspended the fine
on her promise of good behavior.
Refused to Pay for the Booze.
Officer Mccarthy arrested William
Wilson, a colored blacksmith, last
night for creating an alteration at
| Conwell's saloon, when the barten-
der prevailed upon him to settle for

dered and consumed, afterward re-
fusing to remit therefor. The case
came up before Magistrate Schroeder
this morning. and was dismissed.

down into . deep canyon, at the bot
tom OF which was a spring, a good big
one. with water rough for a herd Ct
s<ock- McHaney camped there. and In
ten minutes realized that he had found
the canyon that fifty men had been
hunting for Nv weeks. Morning only
convinced him. There were the caves,
the skeletons and the lodges, rich be-
yond comparison with virgin gold. The
rest Is soon told. jim went back to
the ranch and got his brother. The two
made locations, and before saying a
word about their find to any one re-
corded their notices in Riverside and
a Bernardino counties. w won't
sell a foot of our claims" said n of
the boys. "A million dollars would not
be a temptation. Why. man. you can't
conceive of the richness of the find until
you have seen it. We have all the water
we need, and the water belongs to u.s.
The ore we have already crushed runs
up in the thousands per ton, and it is
only poor ore with what we have in
sight. I am not an enthusiast, but I
say to you we have the richest claims
ever discovered in California. / dor
care whether the ledge goes down or not,
the ore in sight guarantees my state
ment. As Bill said when he saw the
ledge, We're millionaires."
The boys named their claims the
Desert Chief, the Desert Queen, the
Chief of the Hills and the Dry Lake
Valley. Old mining men who have no
interest in thesclaims whatever say the
mines will make multi-millionaires of
every man interested. The richness of
the mines can be judged from the re-
suits obtained from working a few sacks
of the ore scraped away from the site
selected for sinking a shaft. This ore
was packed on burros yer to the mill
at the Lost Horse and yielded 1852 in
gold. Work on the mines will be started
at once. and a big mill will be erected
in the canyon as soon as the road on
which the men are now working will
allow its TRANSPORTATION.

Only a Rift.

Only n HIT.
Only a ray of light
When the weather was dim and gray,
To glitter across the world,
And brighten the face of day.
Only a little rift
When the darkness was passing by.
But out of the crevice shone
The glory of Gods blue sky.
Only a parted cloud,
When the journey was dark and lone,
But out of the crevice cleaned
The glory about the throne.
Only a ray of hope
When the shadows began to lift,
But the wanderer looked. and 10!
An angel stood in the rift.

Inc WAVING GOTH Was green anu ROiQ,
The damask roses blown,
The bees and busy ~spinning-wheel
Kept up a drowsy drone-
When Mistress .Standish, folding down
Her linen, white as snow,
Between it laid the lavender,
One summer long ago.
The slender spikes of gra~yish-green,
Still moist win NOR ing dew,
Recalled a garden sweet with box
Beyond the oceans blue
An English garden, quaint and old,
She nevermore might know;
And SO she dropped a homesick tear
That summer long ago.
The yellow sheets grew worn and thin.
And fell in many a shred;
Some went to bind a soldiers wounds,
And some to shroud the dead,
And Mistress Standish rests her soul
Where graves their shadows throw
And vio]ets blossom. planted there
In summers long ago.
But still between the royal rose
And lady-lily tall
Springs up the modest lavender
Beside the cottage wall,
The spider spreads her gossarner
Across it to and fro
The ghost of linen laid to bleach
One summer long ago.

Memory.
AS a perfume doth remain
In the folds where it hath lain,
So the thought of you, remaining
Deeply folded in my brain,
Will not leave me; all things leave me:
You remain.
Other thoughts may come and GO,
Other memories l may know
That shall watt me, in their going,
As a breath blown to and fro,
Fragrant memories; fragrant memories
Come and go.
Only thoughts of you remain
In my heart where they have lain,
Perfumed thoughts of you remaining.
A hid sweetness, in my brain.
You remain
