Capt. elect O. w. Davis, of Co. X, 1st
Regt., Vermont National Guard, Benning-
ton, has resigned his commission as an
officer in it. He was recently elected cap
tain of the company by a fair majority,
over an opposition that was so stubborn
that the command would not make the
election unanimous. He appeared before
the examining board at Burlington two
weeks ago, but has never received any in
timation from it as to whether he passed
or not He is one of the oldest members
of the company, and has been first lieuten-
ant of the company about seven years.
The unexpected resignation has again
aroused the bitter feeling that has pre-
vailed in the company since last December.
Appearances indicate that lively cru

and his bail again fixed at $500, which
was furnished. This step was taken be-
cause Of the consultation between the
state and United States authorities, it was
agreed that the best claim to jurisdiction
lay in the Federal courts, Kings offence
having been against a national bank or
gained under United States laws. The
penalty under the federal laws is imprison-
ment for not less than five nor more than
ten years. Nothing, therefore, except par
don by the President, can save the young
man from Imprisonment for at least five
years.

De.p Mining for GoIdin California.

1t looks as if an era of deep-minine for
gold is about to begin in California. Hith-
erto the surface of the state has been
merely scratched over in the effort to find
mines without sinking, and very little has
been done to show what is beneath the
surface. The success of the shafts that
are now going down is giving much en-
couragement to bolder ventures in deep
sinking A Los Angeles despatch says
that very recently larger bodies of good ore
have been found in the 2300-foot level of
the Kennedy than had ever been found
before. Excellent ore has been found in
the lower levels of the Dead Horse, and its
shaft is to be put down to 100 feet. The
Gwin mine has struck very rich ore on
the l400foot level. Several other large
mines have announced their intention to
sink much deeper. California capital is
for the most part supporting the new move
ment.

A judge in Philadelphia court said in
a decision in bicycle damage case the
other day, that he thought rule of the
road would not require that in an open,
unobstructed highway a vehicle like cart,
for instance, should be driven to one side
in order that the rider of bicycle might
be relieved of the necessity of deviating
from straight line. The bicycle is much
lighter and more under the control of the
rider, he added, than vehicles of the other
sort, which are drawn by horses.

rifle force. 1t was roaster, for the
animal roared with pain. Jack
thought he had her going and he
rained shower of blows upon every

her well nigh the fence. Up to this
