A HOT TIME IN SAUSALITO.

N RIVEN from San Francisco and forced to | /abandon an attempt to establish themselves in - San Mateo County the booksellers are con- gregating at Sausalito in such numbers it is doubt ful if the town hold them all Rivalries and eal- ouses reported to have broken out among them and a battle is imminent for the possession of the field The former monopoly of the traffic is at bay against the new corners and hot time is expected
 That such contest should be waged in Sausalto is not to her credit is it the interest of her people. Among the localities around San Francisco has greater natural attractions than Sausalto none could with better reason expect to become the suburban home of the wealth and culture of the metropolis All such expectations, however, will be in vain ii the town falls under the domination of the gambling element and becomes the established resort of booksellers and their prey.
 The evils of the pool-selling traffic have been re- peatedy exposed by The Call They include tempta- tons which Tn too many lead women young men and even school-children to gamble. From the time the gambling mania IS fixed upon the mind the downward rapid The inveterate player of the begins to resort to all manner of tricks to obtain money for the game and not infrequently becomes betrayer of trust, forger and thief All this is well known It will not be any different in Sausato from what 1t has been elsewhere and it be- hooveS the people of that community to weigh we'll tnc consequences O1 permitting the open running Ot poolrooms in their town
 It may hot time in Sausalito to drive the booksellers out done in San Mateo but Sausa-
 Tito will have hotter time if she does not Instead of becoming the home of some of the better elements of the people of the city she will become the resort of the worst. Her boys and girls will grow up sub ject to evil influences her young men will be con- tnuay entced to betray the trust of their employers and scandals and crimes will become common things in her local history.
 Good examples have been for Sausalito to profit by in this regard A short time ago. under the in- fuence of crusade begun and vigorously carried on by The Call the authorities of Yoo suppressed gang of gamblers who, driven out from Sacramento had made their headquarters the Yolo side of the river Recently San Mateo profting by the exposure of the pool-selling evil made in The Call drove the illicit traffic out of that county In San Francisco it. self the traffic according to reports made to the Mer chants Association by Chief of Police Lees has been suppressed.

MOI KNOW. Company, which Q shows how genius will sometimes lead a man into the slough of error. MT. Sproule has reputation for cleverness as raconteur and as a man of polite learning. His mind is of that order which has a place both for figures and for the artistic. One Of those things of which he is especially proud is his stupendous familiarity with the sym bols of rank. political and social No matter how much of the alphabet Is at- tached to the skirts of name MT. Sproule is never at a loss in determining the position of the owner in the world of the bon ton. In the select coterie of wits and bon vivants at the Bohemian Club many a task of alphabet reading has been performed by Mir. Sproule. But the hardest task of the kind that he ever at tempted was one afternoon not long ago when a MT. Murphy called on him at his business office. The card brought to the railroad magnate read: Edward Murphy, G. B. C." Who was Murphy, and what was all this alphabetical adorn- ment? "G. B. C." went through the mind of the dilettante and no solution was offered by the powers of reason or the stores of a vast experience. All the abbreviated titles of royalty were con sidered and still no light. Exhausted by the mental strain Mir. Sproule told the office boy to show Mir. Murphy to his office at once.
 The first question launched at the vis- itor was: What in the world does G. B. c. stand for?" Murphy grew two inches, and with swelling chest and erect head answered in a very dignified manner: sir, that means graduate of business college" The shock was too much for the erudite Sproule and he succumbed at the awful discovery. MT. Murphy was there for position. He did not get It.

THE MODOC WARS, City. The Mo-
 doc troubles date back to 1864, when the
 Modocs were put on reservation of the Klamaths Captain Jack (Hrentpoos) led
 off wild band to an old home of the Mo-
 docs on Lost River, where their opera tions caused so much complaint that an order was issued for their return to the reservation. On the. 18th of November Captain Jack and his Indians refused to go on the reservation, and on the 18th of the same month United States troops, under command of Captain Jackson, went to the Indian camp to enforce the order when a fight took place, and fifteen h. dians and four white men were killed. One of the Indians killed was Scar-Faced Charley. After that the Motlocs escaped to the lava beds south of Clear Lake. Major-General Wheaton advanced on the Indians in 1873 to dislodge them, when he met with reverses-loss twelve killed and twenty-one wounded. Subsequently, a second attack by General Ginon was no more successful. On the 11th of April, 1873, General Canby, Dr. Thomas and MT. Meacham. peace commissioners, called on Captain Jack, when all three were treach- erously attacked and General Canby and Dr. Thomas killed, MT. Meacham being dangerously wounded. On June the Mo- does surrendered to General J. c. Davis, and on October following Captain Jack and three others were hanged and the re- mainder-14S-were sent to the Indian Ter rf
