POULTRY AND EGGS.

Do California ranchers fully supply
their home market? They do not. for in
the matter of poultry and eggs alone
they are short $4,000 to $4,000 day.
This ought not to be so. Just why our
ranchers are so shy of these articles of
necessity it is difficult to determine.
Certainly it is rot their love of the rail-
roads that keep them out of the poultry
and egg business, for a large number of
them are of the opinion that the through
lines get all of the patronage they de-
serve, and frequently much more, in
transporting the thousand and one arti-
cles of merchandise that come from the
east. Possibly also quite number think
that poultry and eggs are worthy the
attention of the women folks only
something that may be attended to while
they are resting between meals. Judg-
ing by the enormous deficit in these two

A TENDERFooTs EXPERIENCE.
With Lamb-like Innocence He Yields
Up His Money in a Bunco Game.

w. S. Boyd has been living as guile
less resident of Inyo county and is to-
tally unacquainted with the wiles of
wicked city. He is bashful, withal, for
he came to grief in Los Angeles on the
9th of November, and only yesterday
summoned up courage to confide the
story of his undoing to Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Williams.
1t appeared from his statement that
just three days after his arrival in the
city, while wandering along Main street
his eye was attracted by seeing some
turkeys in a store window.
With thoughts of Thanksgiving, cram
berry sauce and other good things OF
home in his mind he stopped and gazed
at the plump birds. Another man. who
was also feasting his eyes, spoke to him
and the two drifted into conversation
as they resumed their walk along the
street His new-found friend exclaimed
to Boyd: I'm the luckiest man you
ever saw I've just got job on United
States survey in Arizona" This hit
Boyd very close. for he, too, was hungry
for work, and he said so. His friend told
him to go along with him, and he'd in
troduce him to his boss, and thought
ybe he also might obtain employment
on the surveying party.
Boyd was taken to a room in build
ing between Fourth and Fifth streets
on Broadway, and there he found two
men seated at a table and playing
little game. While waiting for the boss
to arrive Boyd was asked by his friend
to put up 81 on the game for him, and,
like the first-class sucker" that he was,
he did so. A few moments later he was
told that the bank had the best of it and
he owed just an even $27 Rather stun
ned by the intima ton Boyd said that ne
hadn't got any money on him; it was at
his room. He was told to go and get it.
ard-will 1t be believed-actually did
go and obtain the $27, and returning
most dutifully handed it over to his
bunco friends on Broadway.
Mr.. Boyd has paid S27 for the knowl-
edge that he is not going to be attached
to United States surveying party, and
also that he is no longer rusticating amid
the wilds of Inyo county.

friend the latter had things her own
way. While caressing Murray with one
hand she was husily going through his
pockets with the other. Without much
trouble she extracted his purse contain
ing $3.50, and just at that moment a
loud knock was heard at the door and a
voice demanding admittance. The wo-
man was terror-stricken. My, my
husband!" she exclaimed. and just then
the door was burst in by an irate indi-
vidual who demanded of Murray by
what right he was in that room with his
wife. Old soldier though he was, the
courage seemed to be oozing out of Muir
ary's finger tips, and he was glad to es-
cape with a sound skin.
Once outside he began to ask himself
If he had had quite a fair deal. He
thought not, and with the result that he
sought a friendly confidant in the dis
trict attorneys office.

RATHER HARD LINES.
If the Story Is True, Rogers Got a
Rather Rough Deal

The appeal case Of w. w. Rogers, a
local expressman. convicted in the city
court of an assault, was before Judge
Smith in department one.
In June last Rogers was summoned
by Mrs. Logan, who lived near San Pc
drostreet. to remove her trunk to more
congenial abode, inasmuch as she and
her husband had disagreed, and he had
told her to get out.
When Rogers arrived, so he testifies,
Logan accosted him with blow on the
head with cane, following it up with
smashing water pitcher over the same
object. A scrimmage ensued. the out
come of which was that Justice Owens
sentenced Rogers to pay fine Of $50 or
spend an equal number of days in the
city Jail.
The case seemed so decidedly in favor
of Rogers that the court could not un-
derstand from the papers on appeal how
a conviction had been obtained. In this
state of the case the matter was contin-
ued until Monday to allow Deputy Dis
trict Attorney James to be present and
give his side of the case.
