to put up fifty cents ard that one
fourth of the amount went to the
man who caught the first fish, one
fourth to the one who took the first
cod, and the balance to the man who
caught the most fish. Now Fred
is always ready for anything that
has money in it, and Notwithstanding
he doesn't care much about fishing,
he did on this occasion take quite an
interest in the sport because there
was a chance to make dollar. So
he went at itand not only did he pull
in the first fish, but it was a cod, and
he scooped in half of the money. A
stranger caught the most fish. 1t is
said that Roger would have enjoyed
the fishing much better had he been
one of the lucky fellows. Be this as it
may, we await the Senator's return
for further details.

The ethereal mildness which usually
pervades Battle Row was consider
ably ruffied last Sunday morning by
a conflict between Ed Crowell and his
step sister, Mrs. Josie Trudo. Now
for some time there has been an un-
pleasantness between these parties,
concerning the ownership of a rose
bush. 1t seems that Eds wife pur-
chased of a travelling man last year
a rose bush, and set it out near the
house they then occupied and which
when they moved to Elmore last
spring was taken possession of by
David Trudo and family. Edward is
considerable of a horticulturist and
his heart was set on having that
rose bush, not only for the above
reason but also because it was the
poperty of his wife.
He went after it shortly after he
had moved, but could not find it. 1t
had been trimmed and pruned by
Mrs. Trudo to such an extent that it
was not visible. However, as spring
advanced it started up and developed
into an attractive bush, all no doubt
because of the care and attention
given it by Josie. Still Ed couldn't
bear to part with it without remu-
neraticn and so placed an account in
Powers & Cheney's hands for collec-
ton, fixing the price at $500. No
attention was paid to this and then
Crowell interviewed Dave (that is
Trudo's everyday name) in person,
and he refusing to settle, Ed decided
to take the bush, and fixed upon last
Sunday as the time for action. Dave
and Josie were at a neighbours half
a mile away and when they saw Ed
going toward the old place they
knew what he was after. Josie,
bound to get there first, jumped upon
a horse and galloped away for home
at a speed equal to that of Paul Re-
we're on his famous ride. Reaching
there she quickly dismounted and
rushing into the house came out with
knife with which she proceeded to
demolish the rose bush. Ed, arriving
on the scene in due time, was consid-
erably amazed at the rapidity with
which the treasured bush was being
hewn down. The battle then set in
in dead earnest and for some little
time the air was full of fists and
words. The bush was demolished
however, and Josie retired victorious
to her castle. At this point Dave
appeared on the scene, and after TAX
ing in the situation, rushed to the viii
lage and made complaint to Grand
Juror Wiswell. The necessary papers
were issued and on Monday all hands
appeared before Justice Gilmore,
with Col. +. B. Sawyer for Trudo
and r, G. Cheney for respondent.
Crowell waived examination, and
after witnesses for State had been
examined, the Court fined him $40
and costs, amounting in all to over
$17. An appeal was taken, and once
more the gentle zephyrs watt peace
fully over the scene of action.

Thorough Repairs to Be Made

VALLEJO, CAL, April 19.-As soon as
money becomes available repairs on the
Baltimore and Bennington will commence
in earnest at Mare Island, word having
been received from Washington to that
effect. The Baltimore is already out of
commission. Nearly all of the stores will
be put ashore from the Bennington to al

bic. The vessel will be overhauled from
top to keelson. and when again ready for
sea duty will be good for many years of
active service without need of visiting a
navy-yard for repairs. Upward of $1OO, 900
will be expended on the pair.
From information received, the Alert
was expected to be on sits way to Mare
Island by this time, but orders were sent
for the vessel to go to Corinto to look out
for American interests. In the last of
March the Alert was awaiting an invoice
of stores, especially of provisions, OF
which it had but twenty days supply
