SOMEWHAT i;
 MIXED '
 AFFAIR. {

much alike that the transient guest who intends complaining of Bill often ends by tipping Fred. These young fellows hall from the County Connemara, and with that love of good horsef1esh that all true sons of Erin possess, are continually fig uring on the relative chances of the va- rious good things at the track and en- deavoring to increase their scanty earn ings by investments on the winners that they daily pick, after a judicious and careful consideration of the tips that are supplied them by the sportively inclined guests to whom their failing is known
 The other day one of these guests, who is interested in one of the books at the track, told one of the brothers that he knew of a horse down to run that after- noon who was bound to win if he did not drop dead, and that if the elevator boy wanted to send some money out he would carry it to the track and place 1t Tor him. The young fellow jumped at the chance, and, going down into his pocket brought up seven dollars, which he hand ed to the sport. ,The horse, six-to-one shot, came in all right, and when the bookmaker returned home In the evening he handed over SAP to the boy who took him up to his room- Later In the evening as he was smoking his cigar in the office, he was approached by appa- rently the same fellow, who told him that he saw that the horse had won and who demanded his money. He was told that it had been paid, and. after listening to the story, vanished to return a moment later, accompanied by his brother, who denied having received a cent. tNow you say you have paid in my winnings" said Bill 1T am sure I have not received a cent, and Fred swears that he has not. Can you take your oath as to which one you gave the money?" The sport had to confess that he was up a tree as he could not be certain of either one of them but as he claimed that he had al- ready made one payment he refused to make another.
 As the matter now stands, the betting among the other guests of the house Is about even on whether one of the bro thers has f1imfammed the other, whether the sport has f1imfammed the two ooys, or whether the two boys put up job and tried to work the sport a second time.

To say that the special train and edition were appreciated Is putting 1t mild, and praises from all were constant and profuse. The special contained a wealth of information about the min ing industry and pioneer history, be- sides its full quota of State, national and world news. Its illustrations were exceptionally fine.

Colusu Sup.

The San Francisco Call has excelled even itself in its Jubilee edition, issued last Sunday It has beautifully illu- minated cover and contains cuts of every phase of mining, from the rocker to the hydraulic monitor, with each phase represented in history and in romance. It is as complete a Jubilee number as one could imagine, and in- deed it is a wonder how one could con- ceive and carry out so complete plan. The Call is fast coming to be all that great wealth, with consummate busi- ness talent, can make of it.

The Fatal Shot Unprovoked.
Eye-witnesses of the affair state
that Rosser fired the fatal shot with
out provocation. He fought against

one hand through the steel handouts.
While waiting for the patrol wagon
he is said to have pushed the body Of
his victim with the toe of his shoe.
Col Smith Feels the OdIum Keenly.
Col Smith of the Tennessee regi-
ment deeply regrets the odium which
the crime has cast upon his command.
He will compel AL the men to sur
render their weapons, and may restrict
their liberty in the future. The regi-
meDt has achieved an unenviable repu-
tatiun since its arrival here, some of
the members having been concerned
in recent brutal assault on a negro
near the Preside, and others having
been arrested for various offenses. Col.
Smith, however, declares that most of
his men are members of southern fam
lilies of good social standing, but bad

cruiting necessary TO increase its com
