What Sheriff johnson Found on q
Couple of Cinnamon.

A couple of hard-looking Cinnamon
came up from San Francisco yesterday
forenoon and We're gathered in by
Sheriff Johnson, together with another.
named Chez Dug, who came here the
day before.
1t seems the Cinnamon attracted the
attention of a brakeman on the train
by their actions. They wanted to
leave the train over in Washington,
and when they found they could not
they became quite excited and hid in a
toilet room until the depot on this side
was reached.
The brakeman's suspicious were
aroused and he followed them from the
depot. They took roundabout way
to avoid Chinatown, and We're met at
Sixth and FL streets by party of
Chinese, including Chez Dug, who
seemed to be awaiting their coming.
Sheriff Johnson was notified by the
brakeman, and he arrested. the trio.
The two newcomers had guns" on
their persons of the regulation high
binder style, about a foot in length, OF
the best make, and large calibers.
Chez Dug did not have gun, but he
had nearly $3.50 in coin in his pockets

their outfit.
Shortly afterward Sheriff Johnson
was informed by the attorney for the
Chinaman who was arrested for the
thstreet murder that the three
men had come up from San Francisco
to consult with him in relation to the
defense of the prisoner, and that they
were all right. On this showing Sher-
iff Johnson released them. The China
men said they were going to return to
San Francisco in the evening.
1t is suspected that the Cinnamon
had other business here besides a con-
sultation with their cousins attor-
ney, for their appearance and their
actions on the train, as we'll as after
they left the depot, were certainly sus-
picious. If they had not been detected
they would probably have remained in
the city, ready for any emergency that
might arise in highbinder circles.

DUCK FEAST TO-DAY.

Every policeman that marched up

went about six miles north of the city,
on the old Marysville road, sat down
behind a fence and landed about 130

Fitz said he seldom witnessed such
a flight. The ducks came against the
wind in great numbers, sometimes al
most low enough to be knocked down
with a pole. After getting enough to
supply the Police Department and a
few other friends he quit. He left town

THE TOOTHSOME TAMALE.
A New Yorker Wants 100 Pounds
Of the Sacramento Variety.

Just before Christmas w. D. Stalker
sent a friend in New York two cans
of Sacramento-made tamales, for be it
known the tamale is capable of being
canned, just like other fruit"
Those two cans Of tamales have been
heard from. Mr. Stalker recently re-
ceived a letter stating that 'the ta-
male was all right" and requesting
him to have 100 pounds put up in
cans and forwarded to the writer
1t is understood the consignment is
to be sent to Florida to await the
arrival of large yachting party from
New York, who are to be treated to a
California surprise.
How would a cargo of canned ta-
male take in the Klondike region? The
hungry goldbugs up there wouldn't do

A pair of horses ran away on Tenth

wagon. While going at a good clip
they collided with a large electric
wire pole, and those who witnessed the
collision thought both horses must
have been fatally injured. One was
knocked down, and the wagon tongue
was broken into splinters, but strange
to say, neither horse was hurt.
