GRASS FIRE.
A Large Stretch of Country Burned
Over Yesterday.

A field fire was started near Antelope
yesterday, and the flames were driven
with such speed before the high north
west wind that it was impossible TO
check their progress, and they swept
across the stubble fields and pastures
for miles.
There was report current in this
city last evening that the path of the
fire was across the Rancho del Paso,
but on inquiry by telephone at Super
intendent Mackey's home it was
learned that the fire was not on the Del
Paso ranch, but east of there.
The extent of the damage could not
be learned, but the report is that the
fire swept everything in its path.
Whether or not this includes houses,
barns or grain stacks is not known.
The fire is said to have been started
by hunters, but this may not be true.
However, the utmost care should be
observed by persons while dove-shoot-
ing at this time of the year, as the
grass and stubble is dry as tinder.

MILLIONS OF LITTLE TROUT.
THE HATCHERY MAINTAINED
AT LAKE TAHOE.
Four Million Eggs Secured the
Present Season and Put Into
the Streams.

The Truckee Republican, says there
are now in the fish hatchery at Tahoe
City nearly one and a half million young
trout, which will, in the course of the
next few weeks be distributed around
in the different streams and lakes. The
distribution of these fish will begin next
week. There will be 100, 600 or more put
in Donner Lake this year
The young fish are not put directly in
the large streams as there they would
become the prey of the larger fish and
great numbers of them would be de-
stroyed, but they are put in the smaller
streams and as they get larger and are
able to take care of themselves they
drop down into the larger bodies of
water. There is another hatchery at
the south end of Lake Tahoe where
there is about an equal number of young
fish ready for distribution.
There were 4,30O, 600 fish eggs taken
around the lake this year At first it
might seem difficult to understand how
they are counted, but it is not. The
spawn of fish of different varieties are
CT very uniform size. SO they have
measures that hold just so many eggs
and in that way get at the number very
easily and accurately. There are but
few people who fully realize the great
benefit to be derived from such hatch
res 1t is not for the distribution of
the fish so much as it is for the increase
OF the stock.
AT the Tahoe hatcheries this year they
have succeeded in fertilizng 90 per cent.
Of the eggs, While they have reached as
high as 9S per cent. Scientists have
found. by investigation, that only about
10 per cent are fertilized when left to be
done in the natural way. Thus we get,
approximately, ten times as many fish
from the same number of eggs as we
would if left to natural agencies.
The young fish, Immediately after
they hatch, are fed on curd of milk
The condition of the hatchery at Ia
hoe City reflects credit upon those hav-
ing it in charge. Everything is in splen-
did shape, and there is nothing about the
place but that which indicates that the
most scrupulous care is taken for the
welfare of the little trout, which seem
happy in their artificial home

A LITTLE PREVIOUS.
Unsafe Information Given Out to
SpOrtSmen.

The Grass Valley Telegraph of the
18th contained the following:
The local nimrods are getting ready
for the game season that opens up next
Thursday. On that day it will be law
full to kill doves, mountain quail, grouse
and male deer in Nevada County; valley
quail cannot be killed before October
LIST, and the killing of female deer is
prohibited at any time
The Telegraph" was misled in the
matter. The open season for grouse and
mountain quail does not begin until Sep
tember 18th, a month later than last
year. AS for July 10Th, it would be alb
surd for anyone to hunt these birds so
early, for they are not yet half grown
and some have been out of the shell but
a few weeks.
1t is singular how easily people forget
the game law regulations, although
more frequent reference is made to them
in the newspapers than to any other. A
party of Sacramento sportsmen, men of
more than average intelligence, was
being formed a week ago to go to the
hills to shoot grouse and mountain quail
as soon as August 18th arrives, though
il is more than likely that every one
OF the party had read the new game
law, which distinctly states that it will
be unlawful to shoot these birds before
the 10Th of SeDtember

4 DULL AND LISTLESS GAME.
THAT PUT UP BY THE GILT
EDGES AND CORKERS.
Two Thousand Persons Sat the
Game Through, but Were
Not Delighted.

1t was a rocky game of baseball that
the Gilt Edges and Corkers put up yes
terday at Oak Park in the presence OF
some two thousand spectators. The
f1rst-named club did better than their
rivals, to be sure, but even with them
1t was off day.
A strong wind blew across the dia-
mond from the northwest, and while
1t blew the dust away from the specta-
tors it made life on the ball field very
disagreeable for the players. Then,
too, the outffelders could not accurate
ly judge the f1y-balEs, and the result
was numerous fumbles that meant run
after run by the opposing team.
Another thing that bothered the
Corkers was the poor condition OF thelr
pitchers. Gallagher would try the
twirling for an inning or two, and then
George Newbert would relinquish his
place as catcher and go into the box.
After a while he would give way to
Halsey Smith, and so it would go. Sew
eral very clumsy throws from the out
field We're made, enabling the Gilt
Edges to empty all the bases and chalk
up as many runs.
The Gilt Edges, too, seemed to be in
trouble over their box work. Lough-
head, Hughes and Pitt tried their hands
alternately, with the result that the
work of the battery was weak.
The Corkers We're first to go to the
bat, and they ran up six runs in their
Lalf of the first inning, the Gilt Edges
getting but one man over the plate in
their half. But in the next inning the
result was reversed, the brewers get
ting in five men and the COrkers but
one.
A detailed description of the game
would not be of general interest. The
Corkers lost heart in their work as they
saw the Gilt Edge men going in pro-
cession over the home plate, and the
game became listless and lacking IN
interest. Following is the score:

An Eccentric Old Man Found Dead
in His Room.

An eccentric old man, known as
"Davy," was found dead in the garret
of the building at 415 Seventh street
yesterday afternoon. The Coroner was
notified and the remains were taken to
the Morgue. Deceased, who was about
81 years old, had occupied one of the
upper rooms in the house for about two
months. Three other men occupy rooms
in the house, but they all leave early
in the morning, and none of them had
paid any attention to their eccentric
neighbor.
The dead man was last seen on Tues
day morning, and it is supposed he was
overcome by the heat and died some
time during the day. He had lived in
the city for some time, but never gave
any name other than "Davy." He was
of English birth.

The Survey Will Very Soon be

There is a pretty good prospect of the
railroad soon being constructed between
Truckee and Lake Tahoe. The "Repub-
Iican," referring to the subject, says:
I'D. L. Bliss came down from Glen
brook, Lake Tahoe. on Wednesday even
ing. He said the men who are surveying
the prospective railroad had got down as
far as Uncle Billy's' place, which is
about seven miles up the river. They
will be through in about ten days and
then he will know whether or not the
Tahoe railroad will be built If he de-
cides to build it, he will begin right
away. He said from the survey thus far
things looked favorable, though, if it re-
quired too great an outlay, it would not
be built"

LAWYFRS ON TOP.

The Courthouse and Lawyers mines
met at Agricultural Park yesterday
morning filled with good intentions
and high hopes. They were out to set
tla old scores and break a record, but
resolutions faded before the binding
dust raised by the north wind, and grit
in the eyes took the place Of sand IN
the gizzard long before the game
reached an interesting point.
The Courthouse nine, while they
took matters good-nturedly, glanced
askance at Sullivan, who was in the
box for the Lawyers, and muttered an
athemas upon his in-curves and out
shoots. Sullivan, by the way, is an
old-Iiner. and for a long time twisted
the leather for the University OF cali
fornia team. When he stood up before
the men from the Courthouse yester-
day he had a soft snap. They were
used to smashing at straight drives
but succeeded only in rending the at
mosphere when met by Sullivan's right
hooks.
Only five innings were played, and
of the fifteen men who came before the
varsity" man nine took seats on the
b1eachers and looked foolish after they
had knocked holes in the thick dust
The Lawyers had little to do in the
field. and they did it gracefully. They
slid to bases and rubbed the dust from
their ewes with all the eXpertness of
professionals, and did great work at
coaching, having one phrase which
they always used with great effect,
"G'wan therei"
Kidder went into the box for the
Courthouse people. but didn't stay long.
He had a side talk with Hughes, and
then went to third base where he COW
cred himself with glory and dust, stop
ping at least one of the many balls that
came his way.
Waehhorst was at first when the
game began, but his off glove had a
spring in it, and the ball would not
stay with him. He traded with O'Brien,
who in turn traded with Pfund, who
finally traded with Wachhorst.
1t was a great game, as viewed
through colored glasses and the clouds
