The Bug-Pinchers'' Hold One of
Their Characteristic Gatherings.
The rollicking social club known as
the Bug Pinchers" held their fourth
annual high jinks at their club-rooms,
ga street, on Saturday night, where
for several hours music, mirth and
fellowship prevailed. After the
election of officers President George w
Ficks read his annual address, which
was a gem in its way and provoked
frequent and hearty applause.
Then all partook Of refreshments,
and it required the combined efforts of
the Grand High Bouncer" and his as
sistants to restrain the bugs" from
laundering themselves and to keep
their hilarity within reasonable bounds
Quiet was finally restored, after fines
had been imposed on nearly all of them,
and the following programme was rem
dered:
Song. male quartet; piano solo, Luke
Baumgarten; recitation, Charles Cor

bass solo, C. NJ. Phinney; cello solo.
Frank Griffin; tenor solo. NJ. J. Des-
mond; song. Harry Treichler; selec-
ton, male quartet; song, Eugene Elkus;
solo, Walter Longbottom.
Professor Appleby artistically rem
dered a few selections on the banjo,
and Camille Japonica gave some skirt
dances. He wore a lovely white cos
tune, and it was with difficulty that the
whole crowd was restrained from join
ing in the dance. Before Bug Pincher
Smiths excitement could be subdued
he had to be fined S4
Captain PrindIe of Woodland was
called upon to respond TO the conun-
drum, Shall America Eat Crow?" He
handled the subject without gloves, and
convinced all present that he is a true
American.
Messrs. Hallett and Eldridge of the
Clunie Opera-house Company told
some good stories, and then DR.. c. B.

equal footing with San Francisco, Los

II think the cost of doing business in
Sacramento is much less than at other

enviable position and why should we

BE TRIED TO TAKE HIS OWN LIFE.
Traw Crump Fires Two Bullets Into
His Head.
Dependency Led Him to the Rash
Act-A1ive, But the Result
In Doubt.

Yesterday morning Travis 7. Crump,
who is well known in this city and was
formerly a member of the police force,
shot himself at his residence, IA N
street, INJECTING what may prove to be a
fatal wound. He was employed as a
barkeeper In Blauths saloon, on K
street He went home after his watch
was over in the morning and retired,
telling his wife to call him at a certain
hour.
About $50 o'clock the family was
startled by hearing two shots, and. on
going to the room, found that he had
shot himself in the head twice, while ly-
ing in his bed. He was still living,
though unconscious.
Medical assistance was at once sum-
moned, and it was found that the first
ball had struck his head above the
right ear, and glanced backward and was
imbedded on the outside of the skull,
under the flesh.
The second ball had entered the skull
back of the ear and its location has not
yet been determined. That the brain is
injured is evidenced by the fact that it
took three men to hold Crump while an
examination was made and the wound
attended to. He remained unconscious
throughout the day, but regained con-
seriousness near evening and was resting
quietly at last accounts.
Crump had been out of employment
for some time, until lately, and had
been respondent. For the last week he
had been troubled with nervousness
and sleeplessness, and had been morose
and low-spirited. His wife had evil
IDENTIFY feared that he might do himself
harm, for she begged him Saturday to
leave his revolver at home, but he re-
fused to do so.
At present it is impossible to predict
the outcome Of his rash act, the position
of the ball and the injury to the brain

"Speakin' about cold weather." said
the man with the yaller whiskers, as he
caressed them in a loving way, but
unless some of you have been up to
Hudson's Bay in January you don't
begin to know what cold is.
How cold did you ever see it up
there?" inquired the Buffalo drum
mer in an absent way
How cold? Well, the coolest day
they ever had or ever will have up there
was the 18th of January, 1874 At )
o'clock in the morning the thermom-
eter stood at so degrees below zero.
That was simply the beginning Of cold
day. The village in which I was stop
ping numbered about 100 people. Over
fifty had frozen to death by 8 o'clock.
Cows, horses, hogs, and dogs tumbled
over as if shot Trees four feet thick
were riven as if struck by lightning"
And it got colder yet, did it?' asked
the man whose eyebrows were singed
off in the Boston fire, and never grew
out again.
TT did. At high noon it was 120 de-
grees below zero. The thermometers
all froze up at that, but no one doubted
that it went to $50 below. Between
morning and night over 600 people per-
ished, and not bird or beast escaped
death. The cold of that day froze ice
forty-six feet thick on the bay. The
outside air was like a bullet"
But you escaped, of course?"
queried the drummer, as his face took
on tired look.
Il escaped, Of course" replied the yal-
er-whiskered man. land L was the only
human being who got off scot free. 1t
was a great stroke of luck. 1 had gone
up there to sell a shipment Of one hun
dred coal stoves and open a coal yard.
I had forty of the stoves set up in

fire in each one of them. By standing
in the midst of the forty stoves 1 es-
capped the cold, though I had goose
pimples for a week afterWard. Ora

day.

sneered the eyebrow man.
You are just a half ton over the
mark, and that coal was worth IS

worth $32 apiece, and used up 1896
worth of coal, and then had to stay up
there ninety days to help bury the dead.

A Capitalist Pushed

News comes from Minneapolis that G.
M. Loring. capitalist we'll known in
Southern California. has made an assign
ment. Surprise is great in business circles
in MINNEAPOLIS, and no little interest is
manifested here. Mr.. Loring has for the
last six years spent his winters in Los
Angeles, Pasadena and Riverside, in each
of which places he has property interests.
He is the largest owner of the Loring
opera house in Riverside. Two years
ago he was worth $S00,00U. The state
ment filed with the deed OF assignment
shows total assets to be $775 900; personal
liabilities, $l65, 900; liza llties on account
OF Endorsements. $206. 600. The necessity
of making the assignment was on ac-
count of the falling due of the endorsed
paper. which could not be met by their
makers.
