 TRANSGRESSED LAWS.
Billy Berg Appeals to the Officers of the Tamalpais Sportsmen's
 Club for Damages.

special meeting of the directors of the Tamalpais Sportsmens Club will be held on Sunday next to hear certain charges which have been entered by Billy Berg against John Bergez and Werner Stauf. The complaint reads:
 To the Honorable Otto Muser President Tamalpais Sportsmen's Club-Dear Sir: In &C., cordance with the laws which govern our club l consider that I am entitled to damages amounting to dinner for five persons or it's equivalent, viz, s1G0. By a reference to our bylaws you will see on page of the big game book that section reads thusly; Any member who designediy or otherwise disappoints a brother member when an engagement is made to appear at headquarters on a certain day or time for any particular purpose thereby causing the disappointed member a monetary loss or loss of appetite occasioned by de- ance with the facts elicited the sum of sioo which money in accordance with the presidents wishes shall be expended in dinner for five club members to be selected by the president" etc.
 The story goes that last Sunday Billy Berg, after having verbal understanding with Messrs. Bergez and Stauf that they snould meet him at the game lodge near Manzanita at D. m.. hastened in the ear " hours of morning from Sausalito to the happy hunting grounds. He engaged a spanking fine team in Sausalito, and in the conveyance there were slowed safely away several bottles of choice wines and edibies of kind which only those in aff1u-

Consequently a few brace of mountain nheasants, blackcock and wood cock. fresh from the bush. were brought into camp by the head gillie. Time flew by fast as the most entertain ing narratives of the chase were related by the keepers much to the enjoyment of MT. Berg and his rapidly accumulating appetite.
 When the clock in the royal shack struck and not a single representative of the high class shooting squad was in sight, MT. Berg waxed angry; but he hoped for better results. At o'clock he the highest peak, and there scanned over miles of unbroken sod, but no Bergez and no Stauf could be discerned-not even through the clubs powerful telescope which is guaranteed to land an object of any reasonable size at from fifty to hundred miles distant on a clear day.
 When the clock struck Mir. Berg de- parted for home, leaving a magnificent appetite and the delicacies of the season
 The keepers enjoyed the feast of their lives as the champion deer slayer of the club gave all to them Ever since Sunday MT. Berg has been using divers kinds of language, but he -prays for damages in plain English, and doubtless the meeting of club officers and legal advisers, winch is to be held on Sunday, will be the warmest that has ever taken place op the grandest inland game preserve west or the Rocky Mountains

And now they say that the great BIZ

body has invented a cOntrivance by
which the ground covering power of a
bicycle can be reduced to suit the ex-
igencies of the stage without 1essening
the speed of the wheels revolution or
the eXertion required of it's rider Thus
on forty foot stage, the wheels used in
the race scene of "A Twig of Laurel
will be so gagged that to cover the forty
feet in two minutes the riders must
work exactly as hard as they must to
cover mile in the same time. The
fastest rider will soonest cover the for
ty feet, just as he would soonest cover
the mile. Of course Jack Meredith
(Mr. BalD must win the race. That's
plot" But second place will go, at
each performance, to the man who can
secure it by fast riding. The only trou-
bic with this arrangement is that Balls
competitors in the race are pretty fast
men, and if in their emulation for Sec
ond place they forget all about the play,
as they are apt to they are likely to
make Jack Merideth work harder to
win than an actor with a long and eX-
acting fourth act before him ought to.
So it is not at all impossible that the

be broken in the race in "A Twig of

The parties who came in town last
night for ammunition state that about
or o'clock yesterday afternoon two
negroes were encamped alongside of De-
Lora Loves cornfield, about two miles
southwest of town, and that while they
were there a 12-year-old orphan boy
who stayed with Love, went out to the
cornfield to gather some corn. The
darkies insisted that he give them
a couple of bushels of corn, a PROPOSE
ton which he refused, when they set
upon him, bound and gagged the little
fellow and, throwing him in the bottom
of their spring wagon, drove off, going
south across Five Mile creek. where
they stripped the boy stark naked and
turned him loose with the gag still in
his mouth and with his hands still
tied. The negroes then drove off to-
ward the territory and the little fellow
made his way back home, arriving
there at 8 o'clock last night without a
thread of clothing on.
A posse of men was organized and
as soon as cartridges were procured
from town, the party sent out in search
of the villains. If found they will
probably be dealt with roughly.

A BICYCLE DRAMA.
Champion Eddie Bald to Star in GA
Twig of Laurel"

st. Louis, Sept. 2.-Nr. Eddie c. Bald,
the bicycle champion, is to be featured
next season in a new play with the po-
eticaI title, "a Twig of Laurel" which
was specially written for him with
view of displaying his admitted dra-
matte ability as we'll as his skill as
speedy and popular rider. The sem
SatiOnal scene will be a bicycle race
with novel and realistic effects which
have been protected by letters patent,
and which promise to create a genuine
enthusiasm among the lovers of the
wheel. Mr.. Bald'S part will be that of
Jack Meredith, a college bred youth,
reared in the lap of luxury, in the be-
lief that a large fortune awaited him
on his twenty-first birthday. Finding,
however, when the time arrives, that
the fortune had been lost by those to
whom it had been entrusted, he re-
solves to go forth and make another,
and clear himself of the charges that
have been brought against him. This
he does by winning the race of his
life and with it a fortune and the girl
of his heart. The incidents of the play
will be enliVened with a. mixed quartet
and original music. The play is in four
acts, with six scenes. The production,
which will be very elaborate one. will
be carried complete. Mr. Bald, who is
a handsome young man, has hosts of
friends all over the country, made while
riding and winning his various races.
BY them he is variOusly referred to as
the Chesterfield of the track or ''the
Balds new departure is sure to be of
interest, and it is confidently believed it
will have an important effect on his re-
ception, as his name is a household
word in the bicycle clubs from Maine to
California, where he is known and liked
both personally and professionally. His
tour will commence about October Is.
From the excitement of the race track
to the glare of the footlights is the
change to come into the everyday life
of Eddie G. Bald, the champion cycler,
in less than two months. and the clever
rider views his intended move with a
feeling not devoid of apprehension, but
predominated by the longing for the
new experience and confident of success.
1.-The prospects for the new play in
which I am to be featured. could not
well be brighter" said Eddie. ''Ev-
erybody is talking about it and it's go
ing to be the greatest card in a long
time. The title, "A Twig of Laurel, is
a fetching one, and the plot is c1everly
woven around a bicycle race, but it will
not depend wholly upon the bicycle part
of the performance for success.

Berkshire hills, and have reasons for
wanting the opening scene in this par

recollections, for 1t was in these hills
that I met Asa Windle in the fall of '93,

that of the Ohio firm.
Warden French will soon furnish
these analyses with plans for a pressed
brick plant to the department of JUS
tice officials in Washington and request
permission to advertise for bids for
machinery. If the request is granted
the plant will be set up within the in

needed for the new federal penitentiary
Warden French said yesterday that it
would require about %, 900, 900. A plant

At the same time the clay was sent

found myself in command of hospital
fever ship with $50 convalescents.
My company was expected by the
doctors to do all the nursing, cooking
and slOp work for the sick, who were
mainly volunteers. 1 at once began to
arrange so that the sick could be made
as self-helpful as possible because my
own men, A in number, were barely
able to walk, and several were quite ill
with fever. By persuasion and tact I
got a few of the stronger convalescents
to help. Though the conditions at best
were horrible we managed pretty well,
though only one doctor was able to as
sist, and he was on the jump almost
every hour night and day.
"One convalescent died in harbor and
was sent ashore for burial. Major Nc
Creevy, surgeon U. S. A, died on the
23d at sea and was buried the same day.
Nearly every day had to read the SER
vices over some poor soldier whose en-
aciated body we had to convert to the
deep.
Danger of infection from the yellow
fever and maIarfaI fever and other dis
eased patients was always present and
is yet for days to come. 1t is worse

strength! War is siIIy.''
