OF Rio Vista are of daily occurrence can be
only too true, as my sources of information
are perfectly authentic. From Rio Vista
down the river, sturgeon. bass and salmon
are captured at all seasons of the year by
the thousand, by the Chinese and Portu-
guese fishermen, and although these facts
nave been reported time and again, not the
slightest effort has been pat forth to stop

PISTOL.
THE DAUGHTER OF A SAILMAKEF
DIES FROM A WOUND Acct
DENTALLY GIVEN.

Little Cecilia Mcconnell, the daughter
of James F. Mcconnell, sailmaker living
at 1920 Natoma street. died early yester-
day morning It her home as he result OF
gunshot wound inflicted by her brother
Frank, aged IL years.
The shooting was entirely accidental
and occurred on Tuesday evening last
The children had been playing at stage
robbers, Frank being the highwayman
and his sister the intended victim.
To carry out the play he ran into an ad.
joining room and procured small o.
caliber revolver belonging to his father.
AS his sister followed him he presented
the revolver at her head and ordered her
to throw up her hands. The boy contin-
ued playing with the revolver, when il
suddenly went off and bullet was lodged
in his sisters left eye, whence it plowed
its way into her brain.
She fell unconscious to the floor and
Frank rushed to his mother, who was in
another room, to tell of the terrible acct
dent. She became almost frantic with
grief, and for some little time was unable
to send for physician. DR.. J. Fraser was
finally sent for and undertook the double
task of caring for the mother and child
the latter evidently being beyond hnman
aid.
She remained unconscious until 3 O'Clock
yesterday morning, when she passed away.
Ihe mother is in serious condition, and
fears are entertained that she will not sur
vive the shock of her daughters death.
The case was reported at the Morgue
but the body was not brought to that insti-
tuition, the father waving an inquest and
asking that he be allowed to bury his child
quietly. The boy hardly realizes the con-
sequences OF his act. Cecilia was years
old.

waters OF the various rivers of the State for the
purposes of propagation will become extinct.
There is at the present day hardly river
whose course Is not INSTRUCTED with q dam
which makes it an impossibility for the fish to
reach their breeding-grounds, and unless effec-
tive steps are taken at once to provide some
remedy for this evil, it means extinction. 1t is
not so long ago that salmon ran up the Ameri-
can River, but one is rarely If ever seen IN
those waters at the present day, and in my
opinion the apparently unmolested fishing OF
the Chinese and others in the vicinity of San
Francisco means extinction to all species that
inhabit those waters.

Wednesdays game was but repetition
of Tuesdays game as far as winning
was concerned. Neither Darby nor Kim
erer pitched what could properly be
called good ball. The game was called
in the fifth inning on account of dark
ness. Score 10 to Z. Attendance HOO.

is no team in the Western association

ity for the statement that there is talk
of Indianapolis going To the National
league and should that be done there
is possibility that Sioux City will take
Indianapolis place in the Western
league. 1t says too. that il is reported
that Dubuque may take Jacksonville's
