A MASHER BEHIND THE BARS
Louis Briggs Essays Most Unfortuna ate
Filtration
ne Tries His Establishments on a Young Wife
Without Stopping to Reckon With
Her Chivalrous Husband

Another would-be masher has come
to grief and languishes behind prison
bars. Louis Briggs is the culprit, and
by the time he gets through with his
tussle with the minions of the law he
will probably in the future refrain from
trying his Establishments on a young
married woman, especially when that
young woman is accompanied by her
husband
Deputy Constable James is the hero
of this tale. He is young man of deter
mination and good Judgment, as was
shown few months ago when he ran
away with his lady love in the face of
her parents opposition, and was mar
ried to her on the high seas, she being
but 16 years of age and not competent
in the eyes of the law to elect a hus-
band. But the knot once being tied,
the young people were forgiven, and their
life has since been one prolonged honey
moon.
Last evening Mr.. James kindly VOL
unteered to escort the wife of his bosom
and lady friend through Chinatown,
they having expressed a desire to view
the new joss house just opened on Los
Angeles street. While passing through
who was loafing in a shooting gallery,
espied the ladies, and Notwithstanding
the fact that they had a male escort,
began flirting with them. He whistled
snatches of various suggestive songs.
smirked and tipped his hat, much to the
embarrassment of the young ladies, who
are eminently respectable and not ac-
customed to such familiarities
Deputy Constable James blood boiled
as these insulting attentions were OBJ
truded upon the female members of his
household. He requested the ladies to
walk on slowly while he went into the
shooting gallery to call the masher to
account.
How dare you insult those ladies?"
inquired the irate husband.
None of your - business" replied
the masher.
We'll, I'll make it my business and run
you in If you don't apologize" said the
officer
Go and chase yourself. young feller."
saidthe masher. 'or I'll trun you out'n
de windy See?"
BY this time Briggs was making for
the counter where a lot of shooting
irons lay. James was after him like
flash, with handouts in one hand and a
six-shooter in the other.
Now lay down, won't you," said the
plucky officer, 'or I'll let daylight
through YOU
Briggs got on his flarrowbones and
began to back water. He still thought
James was running bluff. but when the
officer showed his star he wilted, and ten
minutes later he was en- route to the
station in the patrol wagon. Clerk
Grldley booked him for disturbing the
peace and fixed his bail at $50 in default
OF which Briggs went behind the bars.

TO LEAVE THE TURF
hucky Baldwin Is Anxious to Dispose Of His
Horses

A New York special to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle says that f. j. Baldwin,
the millionaire horseman, has confirmed
the story that he contemplates leaving
the turf as soon as he can dispose of
his horses. Under such conditions it is
not likely that he will get out soon, for
ne has three-score or more thorough
breds in New York and elsewhere. He
wants good prices, and race horses are
not bringing over-good prices just now.
Recent sales at Sheepshead Bay sup
port this statement. His three-year-
olds, Ramiro, by Gano- Cuban Queen,
and filly Argentina, by Gano-Dolly L.,

The PeIatan- -Cleriei Process

At the stockholders meeting of the
DeLamar Mining Co., Id. June 30. Mr..
Frances Muir, Chairman, in his address
made the following statement in regard
to the Pelatan- -Clerici process:
"We have to express our disappoint-
ment that the plant erected, which we
fully expected to be in running order
early in the year, has not. been so sue
cessfully operated as to justify us in
in putting it in regular work. AS you
may remember, our preliminary tests
at Denver were of a very satisfactory
nature, and we felt fully justified in ex
pecting that after the delay almost in
eyitable to the construction of the ma
chinery had been overcome, the results
looked for would be speedily attained.
Such has not been the case. We. are
now advised, however, that the difficult
les encountered on the larger scale of
working ore probably the result Of
changes in the mechanical arrange.
ments of the process, intended and ex
pected by the engineers of the Extrac-
tion Co, (perhaps in an excess of conf
dence) to be an improvement on their
first plans, and not of any defect in the
process itself. Such, at all events, IS
the engineers contention, who express
themselves with unabated confidence
as to the value of the process. As it
is desirable for us, as well as for the Ex-
traction Co, that the process should
be proved capable of doing all that is
claimed for it, we shall give them every
opportunity and facility for getting
the plant into efficient working order,
subject to a due regard to our own in
terests in the matter"

william Jennings Bryan

The democratic candidate for Presi-
dent was born on the 18th day ofMarch
1860, in Salem, Marion county, Illinois
He is therefore thirty-six years of age.
He is a graduate Of Illinois college,
Jacksonville, and left that institution
with diploma in 1881. He then at
tended the Union law school of Chicago
for a period of two years, and later be-
gan the practice of law at Jacksonville.
On the first of October, 1881, he To-
Gated at Lincoln, Nebraska, as a mem
Der OF tho law firm of ofTalbot and Bryan
He was elected from the Lincoln dis
trict to the fifty-second congress.
Mr.. Crisp was elected speaker of the
house, and gave Mr. Bryan place on
the committee on ways and means.
From this vantage ground he delivered
his first speech in congress. His effort
was made in behalf of the free wool
schedule of the Wilson bill. The speech
was carefully prepared and delivered
with all the skill of trained orator.
He at once shared the honors of the
house with Tom Johnson, of Ohio, as a
leader of the extreme free trade wing of
the democracy.
Mr.. Bryan has been an ardent sup
porter of free silver coinage from the
date of his first appearance in public
life, In his views upon the question
he has been consistent and honest.
The nomination of Mr.. Bryan was a
genuine surprise. He is an accom-
pIished orator, but beyond that little is
known of him His experience in pub
lie life is limited to his short service in
congress, and his ability as an execu-
tive officer is purely speculative. If
our memory serves us correctly he is
the youngest man ever nominated for
President. Personally, he is clean
man. No scandal of either financial,
political or moral character is attached
to his name. Now let us hear from st.
Louis.

Helped to Defeat Blaine.

It is now asserted that the goldbug
candidate for the Vice-Presidency was,
twelve years ago, one of the high and
holy mugwumps who bolted the repub-
lican party and worked for the defeat
of that great American statesman,
James G. Blaine, spending piles of
money in New York to secure votes for
Butler. When it is remembered that
1,50O votes cast for Butler in New York
and stolen and counted for Cleveland,

called the "Stuffed Prophet" and Sc

who of all others of his time was the
of true republicanism?
You are too hidebound in your repub-
licanism now to quit the party, once 50
glorious, but whose glory is now only
confined to its past history too hide
bound to quit it even when its manag-
ers have sold it out to the plutocrats Of

Some who are ready to use the power
of the government to limit the supply
of money, in order to prevent injustice
to the creditor, are slow to admit the
right of the government to increase
the currency when necessary to pre-
vent injustice to the debtor. I de
nounce that cruel Interpretation of
governmental power which would grant
the authority to starve, but would with
hold the authority to feed our people
which would permit contraction of
our currency, even to the destruction
of all prosperity, but would prohibit
the expansion of our currency to keep
pace with the growing needs of a grow
ing Nation William J. Bryan.

1t does seem a little tough on the free
coinage republicans to have them asked
to participate in a ratification meeting
upon the groundthat it is the salvation
of their silver principles as well as of
the country to have the democratic ma
toinal ticket elected, and then have
the speakers advocate democratic
state and county ticket all the way
through, If that is what the Idaho
ratification meetings are called for it
would be well to let the democratic
party run them alone.

The foregoing sentences were copied
from circular issued by a New York

fair samples of the insolence and AFRO

If the people are not sufficiently ar

will have enough more of it before Nov
