A THREE-HANDED JAG.
ONE MAN CHARGED WITH HAVING
ROBBED HIS COMPANIONS.
His Name Is Said to be James Clark
and He Was Caught on Reach
ing Davfsville.

| Yesterday afternoon John Anderson,
| in company with Joseph Beamer and
James Clark, made the rounds of the
saloons and succeeded in working UP
| beautiful jags. When fully loaded
the three men sought downtown
| lodging house. hired a bed, and then
all Of them tumbled into it in order to
get a long-needed rest.
Anderson says that Clark awoke be-
fore his companions, and came to the
conclusion that the latter had more
worldly goods than was rightly their
share. In reality, Anderson says he
| had S45 in coin of the realm and a gold
watch, which Clark secured before TAX
| ing his departure. In proof Of his as
| sertion, Anderson showed a neat slit in
his trousers pocket, from which he as
serts his coin was taken.
Anderson and Beamer started for the
| Yolo side Of the river in search of Clark,
and found out that he had passed
| through Washington some time before.
They reported the matter to Wash
| ingtonian whom they did not know, and
| he advised them to telephone to Da-
visville officer to arrest Clark IT he ar
rived there. To make sure that account
| would be taken of their story, he ad-
vised them to say that it was Chief OF
| Police Drew who was doing the talk
| ing.
| The idea seemed a brilliant one,
| worthy even Of a Yolo man, and Beamer
determined to profit thereby, so he sent
his telephone.
| A half hour later the Davisville Off
Ger rang up the Chief Of Police of this
| city and stated that Clark had been
arrested, and asked what should be
done with him.
| Chief Drew informed the Davisville
detective that he could do whatever he
pleased with his catch, and that no tel
ephone message had been sent to him
| to arrest Clark or any one else by au-
thority of the Sacramento police de-
partment.
The Davisville man tried to argue the
4 matter, but was informed that the in
| terview was concluded.
| Just about this time Beamer and An
derson arrived at the police station on
this side of the river and wanted to
know whether message had been re-
ceived from Davisville. Then they told
the story as given above. But Chief o1
Police Drew was mad. He did not be-
live in allowing any man, particularly
Beamer, to assume both his dignity and
name under which to secure the arrest
of Clark or anybody else for any crime
whatever.
| AS a consequence, his broad palm fell
on the back of Beamer's neck, and the
latter was given quarters behind the
crate. The Davisville man was once
more rung up and informed that 1t was
all right, and that his man was wanted
for robbery.
That Davisville officer is probably
still in the dark as to the extraordinary
actions of the Sacramento police, but
1t Is likely that he lays the trouble tc
the fact that it was Saturday night.

Of selecting delegates to the County

The slatesfor North Washington went
as it was marked, and William King,
E. A Moffett and Elmer Bryte were
elected with practically no opposition.
But in the South Washington precinct
a mine had been carefully run under
Henry Gilrs chance of success, and by
skillful manipulation 1t was touched off
at the right time to send that gentle
mans hopes into the ether.
In the morning the slate read, Lee,
Evans and GILL;" Four o'clock showed
no change, but at o'clock, when the
working element had finished their
days labor and returned home, men
stood in groups and began to talk.
Somebody was going to get left. After
all, the slate was not a certainty. There
was a dark horse looming up, whom no
one save those same workingmen knew
anything about, and the name Of the
dark horse was "Beany" Todhunter.
AS the voting went on the talk became
louder, and when the votes were count
ed it was found that "Beany" had been
chosen by a flattering majority, and
that Henry Gill had been given the
steel. Lee and Evans were the other
delegates chosen. Everything was con-
