An Insurance SwindIe.

1T was the cleanest steal they ever
made from us, sighed the veteran life
insurance man. L wrote the policy
myself, and you will concede it a
pretty fine stroke of business, for it
netted me a commission on 100000
Had the sequel come within a year
or two / might have had my suspic-
ions aroused, but for five years the
premiums were regularly paid and ev-
erything appeared as straight as a gun
barrel. Then came q tragedy. Way
up in a little crossroads station of Col
orado, Porter Hensick, whom I had in
sured, and two others were killed by
a drink-crazed Indian, who was run
ming amuck. The local papers gave all
details, a Coroner's jury found a verdict
in accordance with the facts, and the
nearest doctor furnished an ironclad
certificate of death. Under these cir
cumstances we We're content with a
rather superficial investigation, and
paid the loss.
Within two months Hensick walked
into the Office and rendered the regular
seni-annual payment in accordance
with bis contract with the company
His appearance knocked me into such
state that they had to use brandy
to revive me. He was the man I had
insured, and there was no denying it..
I never saw a more honest-looking per-
son or heard q voice in which you
would place more implicit reliance. We
simply had to accept his money and
charge the amount We had paid out to
profit and loss All efforts to trace
the woman who had personated his
widow and beneficiary were in vain.
TWO years later his natural death was
reported; / attended the funeral to
make sure, and we settled. The next
summer I saw him in Germany"
How was it done?'

The Elopers Have Been Forgiven,
and There is Peace, if Not
Happiness.

Mrs. Henry Ryman is again secure in
the bosom of her family, and James
Gilman has returned to his wife and
children, and both have been forgiven.
| The complaint filed against Mrs. Ry-
man by her husband, and that against
Gilman by his wife, We're Yesterday
dismissed, owing to the felicitous and
mutual agreements that had been made
by the couples, and things are now as
they were months ago when peace and
| quiet reigned in the vicinity of Tenth

| About two weeks ago Gilman and
Mrs. Ryman left their homes and to-
/ gether went to San Francisco. where
they were captured by County Detec-
| tive Max Fisher and brought back.
/ Complaints We're sworn out against
them, charging that they had aban-
doned their children, who needed their
attention.
| The case was called in Justice Hen
rvs court yesterday afternoon, and
James B. Devine, attorney for the de-
| PENDANTS, interposed a motion to dis
miss on the ground that under the stat
ute husband cannot swear out a COM
plaint against his wife, nor a wife
where they have been bodily injured
| Attorney Devine said he did not care
TO say anything about the facts in the
case but thought that under the law
the defendants should be discharged.
| District Attorney Ryan said he be-
lieved the construction placed on the
statute by Judge Devine was correct.
He should, however, have filed other
/ complaints were it not for the fact that
both Gilman ad Mrs. Ryman had been
forgiven by their spouses, both of whom
declined to testify against them. IN
der the circumstances he said, he should
not oppose the motion.
Justice Henry said that under the
circumstances he could do nothing ex-
cept dismiss the complaints, subject to
the payment of the costs of the case,
which We're taxed equally between Ry-
man and Gilman. The costs were paid,
and the complaints were dismissed.

Interest in the Sport is Growing
Rapidly.

As evidence of the widespread and in
creasing interest that is being taken in
coursing matters, dogs are now COM
ing from outside communities to par
ticlpate in the weekly meetings here.
For next Sundays coursing entries
have Leen received from Suisun, Port
Costa, Dixon and other places, and
some very scorching work is looked for.
The excellent management Of the sport
here is having it's effect, and hence
forth the local dogs will not be forced
to compete with one another.
For the open stake next Sunday the
drawing will take place this evening
at Walshs, Ninth and K streets. at s
o'clock. The outside entries that are
already in will go first on the list, and
as not more than thirty-six dogs can
be handled these short days it behooves
owners who are anxious to have their
dogs run to attend to the matter early.

SACRAMENTANS PREPARING
FOR THE JOURNEY.
John Houston Training Teams of
Big Dogs for Hauling
Supplies.

Dan Hicks of Gait was in the city
yesterday, and he is still talking 'Klon-
dixie Dan and several friends intend
leaving here about the 1st of next
month thoroughly equipped for the
journey over the Chilcoot Pass and into
the mining country along the Yukon
River
Mr.. Hicks was one of a party that
left here last summer. They made
several trips across the pass and then
separated. He came back to spend
the winter and take in a new stock Of
supplies, While the others pushed on to
locate claims and have everything in
readiness for this season.
Mr.. Hicks says he has encountered
several places here in California that
are nearly as difficult to surmount as
the much talked-of Chilcoot Pass, and
is not at all afraid to tackle it again.
He says his party will take several
tons Of supplies over the pass to the
lakes, where they will remain for a
While and in the spring push on to the
mines.
Last summer, he said, the entire cap
ital of his party, on reaching Sheep
Camp, was just 50, yet they spent
nearly thousand dollars to get their
supplies over. They were able to do
this by helping out others who had
money but were afraid TO work In
one-half day, Mr.. Hicks says, he HIM
self earned $3.50 by packing for others.
His party not only earned and expend-
ed several hundred dollars, but parted
with some $500 or 5000 they took with
them.
j. H. Houston, Night Watchman at
the car-house Of the street railway COM
pany, and one or two friends will also
leave about the end of this month for
the frozen north. They will take big
quantity Of supplies with them, with
which they expect to reach the mining
section by travelling over the hard snow.
For this purpose Mr.. Houston is now
training number of dogs. He has two
teams of four dogs each which he is
breaking to sled, and each Of these he
calculates will be able to haul several
hundred pounds of supplies By doub-
ling back and forth they viii be able
to take over the pass a large quantity
Of provisions, etc., in a comparatively
short time.
Mr.. Houston's dogs are all big, pow
erful animals Of the st. Bernard and
New Foundalnd breeds, and he now has
them pretty well trained. He works
them on alternate days, harnessed to
sleds, and has got them so that even
now they pull good-sized loads. A few
weeks more viii complete their educa-
ton in this line.
There is certain to be a great rush
for the Yukon after this month, and
probably fifty or a hundred persons
