and County Attorney, but some other Of
fees are still awaiting decision. E. I.
Mills wants to be Tax Collector and is
much talked of for the Office, but there are
others in the field. Thomas Ashworth,
who doesn't appear to have secured any
prominent place on the slate vet. is talked
of as possible candidate for Treasurer.
Thomas ]. Ford, the ex-School Director,
is looked upon as the winner of the nomi-
nation for Superintendent of Streets, but
John Morton, the contractor, Daniel Sheer
in and others are pursuing it. The nomina-
ton for County Surveyor will probably go
to either John NJ. Curtis or Charles Hol-
comb. There is big crop of candidates
for Supervisors and School Directors.
When the returns from the Seventeenth
Senatorial District were canvassed last
night 1t was found that Thomas E. Egan
OF the Twenty-ninth Assembly District
was credited with six votes more than his
rival, Larry" Buckley, of the Twenty
eighth District. In Egan's district eight
of the 975 votes cast had been found to be
INITIATED and were thrown out, giving
Egan 967, the entire vote. Buckley's
friends say that the eight votes thrown
out were votes for Buckley, which some
how got past the Inspector. In the
Twenty eighth Buckley's friends counted
only the 961 votes in the box, none of
which were Tor Egan. As the only reason
Buckeyes vote was not heavier was that
the supply of ballots gave out early and
many people were thus restricted in their
voting privileges it will be seen how a
fateful little accident may determine the
career of a statesman. Buckley filed q
contest last night and may proceed to kick
up trouble. His friends, who could not
provide ballots enough TO give him the
nomination, could yesterday hardly look
him in the face, although they were quite
used to it

RIVAL GAMES OF
CHRIS AND SAM,
Buckley's Convention Will
Smoothly Register
His Will.
HOW THE SLATE READS.
But Sam Rainey Can't Make
His Work Smoothly and
Trouble Brews.
MNAB Has TROUBLES. Toe.
The Junta Campag Committee Fac.
tions Are at War Over the Com
ing Convention.
MNAB Has TROUBLES. Too.

Tonight at B'nai Birth Hall the
Buckley faction of the local Democracy
will hold the first session of its municipal
convention and begin the process of
framing the municipal ticket which will
be used as the basis of the legal contest to
determine which faction is, under the law,
entitled to the regular heading, Demo
cratic" on the ballot.
At to-night's meeting the usual conven-
ton committees and some extra ones will
be appointed. One committee will be ap-
pointed to recommend nominations for
Supervisors and another committee will
be charged with reporting a ticket of
School Directors. The convention will
probably adjourn for twenty-four hours to
allow the platform com mittee a respecta-
BILE time to report the platform, which is
now ready for submission to the COM
mittee.
Under the law the 18th inst. is the first
day when a party ticket may be filed with
the Registrar, who is required to accent or
reject it promptly. The Buckleyites will
have their ticket ready on that day. It
will be rejected by Mr.. Hinton and a writ
OF mandamus will be at once asked of the
Supreme Court by the committee of at
torneys which has charge of the case.
That delayed and daily expected Su-
preme Court decision as to whether the
county officers in this City and county
hold their offices for four years iniects a
feeling of uncertainty into the situation
all around, but the Buckleyites are going
vigorously ahead with the preparation of
a full ticket, and the big headquarters on
Ellis street are nightly crowded by aspir.
ants for Office and by the loyal push"
The executive committee met last even
ing, with NJ. J. Donovan Ia the chair. and
canvassed the primary election returns.
and Christopher A. Buckley held his usual
rear-room leyee.
The first kick against Buckley's author
ity developed last evening over the
making of James G. Nealon the chair
man of the convention. 1t was caused by
the sort of love and admiration with
which some BucKleyites regard Nealon. il
is true, but nevertheless it was a rebelli-
Gus thing to do. The ex-Assessor is an old
friend Of Buckley's and has been promi.
nent in the affairs of the faction. Buckley
decided to put him on the slate for chair
man and then kickers began trottine
quickly to Chris. Buckley wouldn't rub
Nealon's name off the slate and the kicks
began to float around outside and to be-
come threats to openly oppose Nealon's
election in the convention. Attorney
Charles ]. Heggerty is one of the candi-
dates of the anti-Nealon people. If Nealon
remains on the slate there may be some
fun over the charm anship.
The slate is decided upon SO far. as it
presents DR.. Stanton for Mayor, Fleet r
Strother for Auditor, NJ. G. Haley for
County Clerk, Thomas ]. Glynn for Re-
corder, Colonel John O'Byrne for District
Attorney and w. F. Humphreys for City

From the date OF its formation interest
has never tagged, and mauy of those who
helped to organize the parlor are prom
inent in arranging for the celebration of
next week
Grand Marshal Nutter has everything
in readiness for the parade on the morn
ing of the 9th, and he has been ably as
sisted by Major Frank Lane in his efforts
to make the pageant a success. There will
be seven immense floats in the line. and
there will be ten divisions OF Native Sons,
each headed by bands, and many of the
parlors will have drum corps besides. One
parlor alone will bring drum corps of
twenty-six, the largest that has ever par
AIDED in line of march in this State.
This is one of the Sacramento parlors,
which will be Joined in coming here by
the Woodland parlor. They will be given
prominent positions in the parade.
Chairman Burres of the parade commit
tee has about finished his several floats
that are to be features of the procession.
There will be another parade here on the
evening of the 9Th, when the visiting
Natives who arrive on the night train
from San Francisco will be met at the
railway depot and escorted through the
main streets and to their various head
quarters by a torchlight procession
headed by Stockton Parlor, with plenty
of music.
Tomorrow Chairman Henry Adams of
the press committee will have an opening
at the headquarters of the committee in
the Yosemite Theater building, to show
the general committee what arrangements
have been made by him. He has been
one of the most enthusiastic workers
throughout the entire affair, and among
other things has secured enough liquid
refreshments in the way of wines and
brandies to care for a regiment.
The general headquarters, where the
reception committee will take its stand to
wait upon the visiting natives, has been
gorgeously decorated and will present as
attractive an appearance as any head
bration OF the Native Sons.
Arthur II. Wright, Charles Hutchinson
and Robert Inglis have charge of the BIZ
cycle meet at Goodwater Grove, that is to
occupy the time between 80 and $3.50 on
the afternoon of the 9th. They are having
the track put into condition for record
breaking, and on Sunday will have the
fifteen-ton steam-road roller belonging to
the city at work on the track to make it
hard as concrete course. This they will
be able to do, as the track is one of the
best in the State, and it will be strange if
some records do not go by the board on
the afternoon of Admission day. The fol-
lowing have been selected by the commit
tee to act as track officials: Referee, San

w. T. Guess, a CoIored Man, Arrested
on Charges of Attempted Crimi-
nal Assault.

Two charges of attempted criminal as
sault were booked at the City Prison last
night against w. T. Guess, young col
ored man.
About ten days ago he called at the room
OF Mrs. Edna Wallace, 151z Turk street, a
manicure artist, pretending he had note
for her. While she was adjusting her
spectacles he grabbed her by the throat
and threatened to kill her if she made a
noise He attempted TO assault her, but
she fought with him and finally succeeded
in getting away from him. She ran
screaming downstairs and Guess made his
escape.
Two days ago he returned to the house
and made an attempt to assault Minnie
Morgan, who occupies room adjoining
Mrs. Wallace's. Mrs. Wallace heard her
screams and ran to her assistance.
The police were notified, and last night
while the two women were with Detective
Ben Bohen on Market street they saw
Guess, and Bohen arrested him.

Los ANGELBS-sAAr LAKE LINE.
Business Men Have Several Routes Under
confederation

Business Men Have Several Routes Under
Consideration.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept. 2.-There is
settled conviction among the business
men of this city that the Salt Lake-Los
Angeles railroad project is not only FEAST
bic but an exceedingly important one.
The committee of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association has several
routes under consideration. Bishop Tay-
lor is supplying the information.
Ii this line is built to connection with
the Southern California railway system at
Barstow it will be 440 miles long. If built
to connection with the Atlantic ana Pa
citc Railway ar Ludlow it will be 400
miles in length. If built to a connection
with the Nevada Southern at Marvel it
will be 315 miles long. Any of these con-
nections would give access to Southern
California. Tue distance to Los Angeles
from Salt Lake by the several routes would
be: Via Marvel, $40 miles; via Morongo,
o2l miles; via Ludlow, 81 miles; via Bar
stow, 500 miles. TIE distance from Salt
Lake to Los Angeles by the existing routes
over the Central Pacific Railway via Og-
den, Sacramento and Lathrop is 1225
miles, so the saving in distance by the
new line would be about 400 miles.

The cashier owed the boy 2 cents
One day the boy. having . cent in
his pocket, was disposed to diminish
his outstanding indebtedness and
paid the clerk to whom he was in
debted 3 cents l cent on account.
Tbs clerk, animated by SO laudable
an example, paid l cent to the cash
Ter to whom be was indebted 2 cents.
The cashier, who owed ahs boy 2
cents, paid him a cent.
And now the boy, having his cent
again in hand, paid another third OF
his debt to the clerk.
The clerk, with the said really
current coin, squared with the
cashier.
The cashier instantly paid the boy
in full.
And now the lad, with the cent
again in his hand, paid of the third
and last installment of his debt OF
3 cents.
Thus were the parties square ali

The CULVER Case.
TRAVELLER.

Chas. E. CULVER, who vas ar
rested some three months ago for
stealing cattle in Mason Valley, and
who was indicted last Monday by the
Lyon county Grand Jury, waived
trial and was sentenced by Judge
Mack to one year in the State prison,
the lightest sentence that could be
given. CULVER was taken TO Car.
son Tuesday by Sheriff Littell.
The case is a peculiar one. The
prisoner is under eighteen years of
aye. He confessed that he stole the
cattle-six cows and five calves
himself, going nine or ten miles to
the Walker Lake Reservation, sepa-
rating the cattle from band, and
driving them back to Mason Valley
all alone. While CULVER shoulders
all the blame and sticks to his story,
there is hardly a person who believes
that he did not have help, aud that
there are others who are more guilty
than he is.
