started by the "Sporting Life'' gang, one
Of whom picked a quarrel with lumber
teamster named Davis, and commenced a
fight. In few minutes several members
OF the gang were throwing rocks at Davis
and striking him with empty bottles. He
was knocked down and severely cut about
the head, and some citizens who attempted
to help him were also treated to few
rocks.
Policeman Nedderman sent for assist
snce, but by the time it arrived the gang
bad dispersed. Edward Marks and Henry
Mckay were arrested and charged with
assault to murder. Davis was severely cut
and bruised. He was unconscious when
picked up, and it is feared that he has con-
cussion of the brain. Rocks and bottles
used in the fray were taken to the City
Hall to DE used as evidence. One OF the
bottles has blood and hair upon it, show
ing the nature of the brutal work OF the
gang.
The attack occurred at Atlantic and
Willow streets. Marks has been in prison
several times and is a thoroughly hard
ened young criminal. During the past two
years several police officers have been
severely beaten by the gang. but no con-
victions have yet been obtained, as the
other members will swear to any kind OF
testimony for the sake of clearing their
companions.

The Fraternal Cemetery.

Quite number of fraternal organizations of
this City have under consideration the plan
submitted to them to take plats of land in
Mount Olivet Cemetery, portion OF which is
is set apart for such organizations. The prin-
cipal point urged in favor of the new location
is that in the near future all the cemeteries in
this City will be closed, and that it is good
idea to secure at this time place where dead
of the several organizations will not be dis
turbed. Among the most prominent orders
with whom negotiations are now pending are
the Sons of st. George, Foresters of America
and the Druids.

At a public meeting some time ago a

"Give us facts
At last the speaker could not stand it
any longer, SO he said:

Grand Trustee l.. F. Byington recently re-
turned from tour in the northern part OF the
State, having visited the parlors in Shasta,
Trinity and Siskiyou coun ties. He says:
The parlors visited were Mount Shasta No. 35,
Mount Badly No. 81, Ieka No. 161. Sisklyou No.
1873, Etna No. 1872 and Liberty No. 1888 Most of
these parlors are located many miles from the line
OF the railroad, and they have to be reached by
either the primitive means of traveling-stages or
by buggy. Sawyers Bar, in Sskiyou County, the
most remote mining town in the State, which is
reached by going 351 miles by rail to Montague
and 63 miles by stage. is one of the few places in
California typical of the golden days. still it has
kept pace with the times some respec.s. 1t has
two fraerna organizations, one Of which IS Liberty
Parlor, the members of which most enthusi-
astic workers in the cause. At Weavervile, Trim
ity County, Mounty Badly Parlor owns its hall, a
neat and commodiouS BRICK structure, in which
there all the necessary rooms, well furnished.
The fact that the San Francisco parlors have
erected hall for their exclusive use has stimu-
lated many OF the interior parors TO do likewise.
The grand trustee reports that all the parlors
named are increasing in membership and that they
are all IN fourishing condition.
