was Brown, who was at the time in the
courthouse.
Neither the prosecution nor the de-
fense objected to him, after questioning
him, and neither did Brown object to
acting, as he had an undoubted right to
do. AS his answers suited Deputy Dis
trict Attorney McComas and Mr.. Shinn,
he was sworn in and is now one of the
Jurors trying the Compton case.
Some people, believing that a deputy
sheriH cannot act as a juror in GRIM
inal case, it is not out of place here to
mention the two sections of the statutes
which have bearing upon the case.
Under section 200 of the code of civil
procedure, person is exempt from liza
bility to act as juror if he be a judicial,
civil or military officer of the United
States or the state, and he might have
been peremptorily challenged as such
either by the people or the defense; but
the code does not say (section 199) that
such person is not competent to act as
a juror.
Sheriff Burr frankly admits himself
that he had forgotten that Brown had
been sworn in as deputy and that the
appointment had not been revoked. He
paid him for his services as such out of
his own pocket, he says, and the gentle
man is not doing any work now for the
office. However, the sheriff was free to
confess yesterday that he would not
have summoned Mr.. Brown if he had
recollected the circumstance of his pre-
vious employment, not that he thought
that the Compton defense could take
advantage Of it later on, but because he
was anxious to avoid anything which
might be construed unfairly.

POKER DAVIS AGAIN
HIS YOUNG MAN CORRALS A
MISSISSIPPI YAHOo
But He Raised Such Howl That They
Gladly Let Him Go-An
Ger True Tale

Poker Davis tried to turn an honest
penny again yesterday. but he was not so
successful as he sometimes is. The vic
tim selected on this occasion was an
honest farmer from Pickings, Miss, who
arrived on the Southern Pacific train
No 20 Friday night. Yesterday morning
this rustic, who is about 3S years old
and dresses like typical southern farm
er, proceeded up Main street to admire
the Klondike exhibits in the windows Of
the Alaska outfitters, between First
and Second streets. He had the Yukon
fever at that time pretty bad but after
Poker d. had done the best he could in
the premises the fever had abated to such
degree that the Pickings hayseed
swore he would return to his pones and
molasses and green in old Mississippi as
soon as he had visited some relations
at Ventura.
While he was thinking how photo
graph of himself incased in a sleeping
bag, while the arctic wind blew fantastic
curls in his long black whiskers, would
look, along came an engaging young
HAL, VIII vas seemingly NCly dHhiOuo "
proceed to Dawson, too. This party knew
place where plenty of information of
the region was forthcoming, and this es-
tablishment, situated on South Spring
street. he called the mining exchange"
Mr.. Hayseed was willing to learn any
thing that might be to his benefit and
accompanied the engaging young man
to the exchange" OF course, the par
ties that had the information were not
there, but, in order to kill time while
they waited, the guide suggested a lit
tie game of poker. The fish did not bite
at first, and 1t was suggested that the
Pickings man should not risk anything,
but be permitted to share in the others
profits. That suited the Mississippi
rancher f1rst-rate.
The first venture was a winning of IS
for the partners. This encouraged Mr..
Pickings to pull out some of his own
Doodle, and he drew 81 from his purse
to make another big winning. AS soon
as he fished his wallet out Of his jeans
the whole gang of bunco men wanted
to see the heft Of his wad, but he stood
them off successfully. That time the
partner lost Silt by some mathematical

isfactorily explain, and the hayseed was
called upon to pay 1t, but he said: Nit"
The swindlers were going to make him
dsgorge anyhow. but he raised such
howl at Mr.. Davis mining exchange"
that they were glad when he left. And.
as the man from Piclings threatened to
have the police around the gangs ears
in hurry, Mr.. Poker Davis was accom-
modating enough to walk down the
stairs with him, purring soothingly in
his ear, and finally, as they separated.
he affectionately pressed into his hands
the 81 which he had picked up as soon as
the jawing commenced.
The man from Pickings is going back
thar" as 1T is plenty good enough for
him, he says, and safer than the rest of
the world.

The name of Monte Cristo is magic

With such powerful lever as all kinds
Of Doodle to burn, Monte Cristo was
justified in exclaiming, THE world is

the appelatlon is not suggestive of any
thing Of the kind, however. 1t re-
minds her merely of little bill which she
has been unable to collect, and for which
she has now brought suit.
Mrs. Yorba Is lady who keeps a
| Spanish restaurant denominated eel
Famosa," where chile con carne albon-
digas and other mysterious, albeit
toothsome, compounds Of the Mexican
cuisine are dispensed with liberal hand
for the modest sum of two bits per per-
son. The reason the name of Monte
Cristo has become unto her as a red flag
to bull is that the Monte Cristo club of
this city had banquet at her establish
ment on the 9th of last month, and after
consuming all the viands placed upon the
groaning board, being helped therein
by five pretty senoritas, the club with
drew without settling for the hash.
The banquet was out of sight. There
was lobster salad, soup, carne con chile,
frijoles con gueso, tamales and tortillas.
The beverage consisted of Zinfaldel la
Orfila, ten days old, according to the
printed bill of fare. Beside this grand
cru cafe, negro con cOgnac was also pro-
vided.
There was, besides the feast for the
inner man, an additional function for
the mind, consisting of a concert. in
which the orchestra was made UP of the
Senores Valla and Martinez, and Senior
j. c. Manjarres warbed cancion. When
it was all over, Mrs. Yorba began to won
der where she came in, and up TO date
she doesn't know yet where she Is at. but
Lawyer r. p. Treat proposes to show
her that presently In Justice Morrison's
court.
Yesterday she filed her complaint
against J. 2. Martinez, president and or
ganizer of the Monte Cristos: ]. D. Rey-
inert, vice president and orator of the
day; c. F. Judge. treasurer; J. B. Call
ing. secretary: c. d. Fimbres sergeant

standing. and is only credited with hav-
ing done his share Of the eating
For cause of action Mrs. Yorba al
leges that said defendants on or about
the first day of January. 1898. requested
the plaintiff to prepare and furnish to
themselves and their said club, for the
purpose Of entertaining them and their
lady friends, in all eighteen persons,
grand social banquet, and then and
there, Jointly and severally, entered
into an agreement with plaintiff to pro-
vide said banquet for the sum of SO. to
be paid to her by them Immediately
upon the completion of said grand ban
quet. That pursuant to such agree
ment plaintiff. at great expense and
pains. provided said grand banquet on
the 9th day Of January. 1898, and the de-
PENDANTS and their friends consumed the
same on said date, and that the same
was reasonably worth the sum of So. but
defendants have failed and refused to
pay for the same, or any part thereof,
though often requested to do so.

Heavy Westbound Travel-Freight
Business on the Increase

According to the rate of westbound

east are full, and berths bespoken for
two weeks ahead on the limiteds. Moth

a tax on the resources of all of the roads.
The Southern Pacific has had to send
orders for more motive power to the
north twice within a week past, and
still have not enough engines for their
extra trains.
The first Raymond excursion of the
season of any size arrived yesterday via

trains ever seen on this side Of the con-
tinent packed with pleasure seekers.

The local railway offices have re-

the quarantined districts from which
the shipping Of cattle is prohibited. The
line is drawn under the direction of Sec
retary James Wilson, the same farm
err. who issued a bulletin recently
showing that California did not pro-
duce any citrus fruits. Mr.. Wilson's
map shows that this part of the state is
full of cattle with "splenetic" fever, and
is under the ban.
In order to take care of the almost con-
tinuous number of trains on it's line
nowadays, the Southern Pacific has in
stituted four new telegraph stations on
