A VILE BRUTE.
Good Case for the Humane Society
to Take Uu.

For a week past people have been
talking about the exploits of a colored
creature who has the outward appear
ance of human being, but the in
stincts of hyena The story has been
banded about that there was a man"
in town who gave exhibitions of his
skill in devouring cats, rats and other
vernin
a Record Union reporter heard of
him, but did not believe the reports to
be true. 1t was learned yesterday
however, that the worst stories told
about the creature have been verified.
Tt seems that the fellow makes his
headquarters at a road inn south of
the city. and whenever q few men
gather there who can stomach one
of his gastronomic exhibitions he chews
up cats, rats, dogs or any other un-
cooked flesh that he can get. 1t is
said that innocent animals are often
killed by or for him to enable him to
exhibit his deprayity.
Since the fellow persists in thus out
raging decency, it is deemed advisable
to call attention to the matter though
it is by no means a desirable topic for
publication If the Humane Society de-
sires to act in the matter it can prob
ably obtain evidence enough to convict
the culprit and disgust the prosecutors,
the court and spectators.

We have received some 20 cases of
hats, ribbons, ostrich tips, plumes, etc,
and among the latest styles in hats are
the Montana, Cuba, Dawson, Nevada
and other styles of walking hats (cow
boy)-all fancy bands and brims; also
a large variety in silk bands-they come
in all the late colors, including the new
shades of green and blue, also the new
turbans in French fur Arcadia, Thiebe
and the Marlowe. Also in wide brim
dress hats in fur--the Boulevard and
Beldemere. These fine hats we propose
to give the ladies a big bargain, and
will be placed on sale at and below cost,
which means a saving (made) of from
% to 80 per cent. on each 81 purchas
ed, and you should take it into con-
sideration that if other stores come
near our prices you should give us the
benefit, as we will be the cause of their
lowering their prices. Watch and see
if we are right. J. W. Lindner, pro-
prietor of the assignee's stock of the

BADLY RATIFIED.
What They Say in st. Louis About
John Rergstrom.

A dispatch from st. Louis says the
story told by John Bergstrom, the man
who told the police on Monday that a
society in that city intends to assas-
sinate him, has been investigated and
found to be mythical Bergstrom had
lived in st. Louis for two years with
his wife and a step-daughter. He is
50 years of age, and well known there.
He was a tailor, but left his wife to
become a member of the Salvation
Army, and it is said he at times grew
insane over religion. His wife said she
had provided his living for some time
past.
The dispatch further states that
Bergstrom has relatives in San Fran
cisco and owns a farm of fifty acres
near San Jose. He had often expressed
a desire to go to California, and early
last week he left home without saying
where he intended going. His wife
grew alarmed at his absence, and has
been searching daily for him since he
left. She was under the impression he
had become deranged and was some
where in st. Louis, and was much sur
prised when told he had turned up in
California. She said his sensational
story was without foundation

WET LEAVES.
They Burned OF a Transmission
Wire and Caused Trouble.

The eclipse of the lights in the city
and the stoppage of the street cars for
over a half-hour last night was caused
by one of the transmission wires Of the
Folsom power inside the city limits
coming in contact with the wet leaves
of tree and burning off, thus stop
ping the current.
Unfortunately, the duplicate line to
the Folsom power house happened to be
out Of order at the same time, some
thing that is very rarely apt to be the
case, SO that the temporary stoppage Of
the current was prolonged to much
longer time than would have otherwise
been the case. Some slight damage
was caused at the sub-station here by
the burning out of some fuses, but it
was easily remedied.
