Italian to stand good for another gal
lon, and when he refused Howard shot
him in the back of the head. He claimed

and he was found guilty.
The Governor heard the arguments
of the attorneys and took the matter

AS is we'll known, the town of Fol-
som is located over some yery rich
mining ground, and for number OF
years mining has been carried on in
the streets and under them.
Several parties are working in shafts
sunk near the depot, and are making
money. Some of the rich ground is
owned by the Sacramento and Placer
Vile Railroad Company. the depot and
buildings covering it. For some time
the ground has been leased to White &
Donelly for mining purposes, but their
lease expired about six months ago,
and 1t was then leased to San Fran
cisco man, who expected to take pos
session yesterday. Day before yester-
day White went down into the mine to
bring up some tools he had left there.
when, to his astonishment, he found a
pair of overalls with fine watch and
chain attached to them.
He investigated further, and found a
gallery with lighted candles set up.
where some one had evidently been dis
turbed at his work. He was, however,
unable to find any one in the mine. At
night, however, he Went down again and
found two men, Harry Tregoing and f.

and where they slept when they wished.
They had been working in the mine
about two months, going down at night
and coming up before daylight and
sleeping all day.
About $50 in gold dust was found in
the mine, the proceeds of the half days
work before the men We're disturbed.
and it is calculated that they had taken

fore they were discovered. Tregoing
has always stood well III the community

promised. The men have been brought
here and charge will be placed against

latest, and it is conceded best, comedy
he has handled, Christopher, Jr." It Is
said that Mr.. Drew is the only actor in
America VINO can play to profit-yielding

the season. His exquisite art has made
him a marvellous favorite, and the poll
ish andexpression he brings to his delin-
cation of characters are to be noted in
no other player with whom the theater-
goers OF this country are acquainted.
He is the refined and agreeable gentle
man in all that he does, and it IS this ac-
centuation of the gentility that makes
him so popular with the patrons of the
fheater. Mr. Drew played christopher,

unprecedented thing, and all the time he
played to triumph business that is,

1T is constant training that counts
In weight-throwing, as in all other ath-

of training that would horrify the train
