HELD UP NEAR RlVERToN.
Highway Robbery Which Was Not Rich in
Results.

VIM. Wallace of Westbrook was helu up
last night by couple of tramps on River
side street, which leads from Riverton to
where the electric line passes Oh Main
street. Mr.. Wallace was walking out
alone from Riverton just after dark and
before he had got outside the woods n
couple of roughly dressed men, whom he
took to be tramps, stepped out from each
side of the road and asked to borrow a
dollar Mr.. Wallace said he didn't have
that amount with him and on that &C.
count they would have to make an effort
to negotiate loan with some one else.
The road agents pr9fessed themselves
dissatisfied with this disclosure of his
financial condition, and suggested that
they look his person over. The five
being big strong tramps and the place
being particularly lonely he did not make
very violent protest against their plans,
especially as he hadn't much to lose by
the operation.
His assets at the time were Is oents and
piece of tobacco. The tramps found
the tobacco and kept it, but as the
fractional currency was concealed in 3
small pocket they are poorer by the nric,
of three beers than they would otherwis,
| have been.

he reached altitude Of $50 feet he pulled
the cord and dropped towards the ground
In second the parachute opened and
he sailed gradually down, reaching terra
firfna In safety. In 20 minutes from the
time of starting he was back to where
his balloon started from, none the worse
for his aerial flight

JOHNSON IN YUBA COUNTY.
The Largest Political Meeting Ever
Held in Yuba CITY.

The largest political meeting ever
held in Yuba City assembled there
Thursday evening last to hear Con-
rgessman Grove l.. Johnson. Arrange
ments had been made for holding it in
the Courthouse, but the crowd was so
great that the accommodations, though
ample for 500 or 600, would not accom-
modate one-fourth of the people, Hence
the meeting adjourned outdoors.
Mr.. Johnson spoke from the Court
house steps to probably 1000 people
Prior to the meeting there was a very
large torchlighr procession participated
in by the Republican Club of Marys-
vile, whose march was made beauti-
full by the lavish display of fireworks
Anvil salutes were fired, bonfires blazed
on every corner and the greatest enthu-
siasm prevailed
Mr.. Johnson spoke for an hour and
forty minutes and made a most elo-
quent and forcible speech. He was fire.
quently interrupted by hearty ap-
plause and at the close of his re-
marks was given three cheers. He was
followed by Hon. w. NJ. Cutter, Re
publican candidate for the Assembly.
who made an effective and forcible
speech of about thirty minutes dura-
ton.
The meeting separated with cheers for
the entire ticket. This largest political
meeting ever held in Yuba City was
also the most successful. Mr.. johnson
made many votes, and will undoubted-
ly carry Sutter County by a handsome
majority.

Ends in Draw at the End Of the Eighth
Round.
Herget's Seconds Throw Up the
Sponge in the Fifth Round of His
Fight With Agnew, Who Had His
Antagonist in a Bad Way All
During the Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.-Billy
Lewis of Sacramento and Billy Shan
non of San Francisco fought an eight
round draw tonight before the Armory
Athletic Club at WoodwardS Pavilion.
Tom Sharkey was selected referee.
Shannon had the best of the encoun-
ter up to the end of the fifth round,
and had Lewis bleeding and groggy.
In the sixth Lewis woke up, and cut a
deep cash over Shannon's right eye.
The seventh and eighth were CORY and
wild. Both men fought like demons, but
neither could secure any advantage,
and the contest was properly declared
q draw.
Jimmy Anthony, the Australian BAN
tam weight, was to have met both
Jimmy Cooney and Billy Carkeek, but
the former was over weight. Carkeek
was easily put out in the third round.
The event of the evening was a ten
round contest between Gus Herget and
Lon Agnew. In the fourth round Agnew
had Herget in bad way, and knocked
him down with a punch in the stomach.
Herget was saved by the gong in the
fifth, being on his back at the call OF
time. AS he was clearly out of condl-
tion, his seconds threw up the sponge.

GIGANTIC sWINDLE.
One Said to Have Been Laid Bare by
Chicago Police.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-A gigantic
swindling scheme carried on in America
for the last five years is said to have
been laid bare by the Chicago police.
Seven men have been arrested in con-
nection with the charges Of fraud.
The men in custody are: William
Benson, Philip Lautenschlager, James
Maskovitz, G. H. Matte, r. ]. Simpson,
alias James Singer, r. S. Smales and
Mayo Taylor.
The name under which the alleged
manipulators Of the scheme and their
agents are said to have been operating
is the Royal Spanish Lottery Company
OF America, which has been represented
as a branch of the concern Of that name
having it's base in Madrid, Spain. In
stead of being genuine, however. the
authorities say it has no connection
whatever with the foreign concern, and
it's patrons have been led to believe that
they were investing their money on
POSSIBLE returns.
The charges against the prisoners,
summed up, are that they have been
selling tickets regularly every month
to people who have been led to under
stand that they Were entitled to
chances in the drawing at Madrid
Each month a card was sent to patrons
indicating what the winning numbers
were
