It may be the kind or people who are so-called students of agrlcuiture. If so, they will have the misfortune to be deported
 While making the examination on the Peru Geffeney caught Y. Islukama tear ing a paper. He seized the paper and found that it was labor contract sim liar to one published in The Call sev- eral weeks ago. Islukama placed a tWenty-dollar piece on the table and said that his four companions would each add twenty, making the sum S1O0, if Geffeney would allow them to land. MT. Geffeney reported this fact to his superior officer and held the five immigrants for further investigation.
 Commissioner North said to a Call reporter yesterday that if the Japanese persisted in threatening the lives of inn migration officers Congress would be likely to pass law excluding the Jap anese from the country, as well as the Chinese.
 Later in the day Deputy United States Attornev Schlesinger advised Commissioner North that the attempt ed bribery of the inspector was an of- fenSe against the Federal statutes, but that it was cheaper to deport the of- fender than to prosecute him. In case Islukama should appeal and should be allowed to land by a decision of the Secretary of the Treasury he could be prosecuted for the attempt at bribery The attempt to bribe was equivalent to confession on the part or the of- fender that he was trying to effect a landing illegally It is probable that Commissioner North may adopt the course suggested.

to his client being interrogated as to the occasions on which he had been previously arrested. The attorney de- murred, and the Judge thereupon sen- fenced the defendant to six months in the County Jail.
 Kellan's record, according to the police, is bad one. About twelve years ago, while he was in Eureka, Humboldt County, where he was known as a ''tinhorn'' gambler, he fatally shot sailor, and was arrested and tried for murder. He was in the Scandinavia saloon, kept by Nels Peterson, and had some trouble with Peterson. He went to a gunshop and borrowed a revolver. Returning to the saloon, he renewed the quarrel with Peterson and backed out onto the side walk. Three or. four sailors followed him and he wheeled around and fired at them. The bullet struck one of the sailors in the abdomen, and he died in two or three days. He was convicted of murder in the second degree, and was sentenced to twenty years in the State prison. After serving five or six years he was pardoned by the Gov ernOr.
 Kellan returned to Eureka, and short ly afterward married Mrs. Smith, widow. They came to this city, and on October 19 last, while his brother-in- law was stopping with him at 211s Welsh street, Kellan came home under the influence of liquor and began beat ing his wife Her screams attracted the attention of her brother, and he ran to her assistance. Kellan got hold of monkey-wrench and struck his brother-in-law several blows on the head with it, nearly killing him. Kellan was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, and was held to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Joachim sen in $500 bonds. When the case was tried in the Superior Court on Novem- Der 10 it was dismissed, as the brother in-Iaw was an unwilling witness for the prosecution; and tried to assume all the blame for the assault.

MINE MULES ON VACATION.

Fresh Air and Sunshine First Daze
Them and Then Oyerjoy Them.
The superintendent Of the Sweet
Springs mine undertook a thorough
renovation Of the mine the day after
the miners went out on strike, and
the first step preparatory to cleaning
up was to remove the mules from the
underground stables and put them out
on pasture.
Some Of them had not been out of
the mine for months, a number had
been below the surface for two or
three years, and one had not seen the
sunshine for seven years, as long as
Jacob served for Leah They were led
from the mine, twenty-seyen patient
creatures, and turned loose in Morri-
sons pasture field. They stood about
close together. knee deep in lush,
green grass, and sweet red clover, with
dropping heads and eyes half closed,
as though dazed by their sudden
change OF circumstances. At last, as
the sun dropped down behind Bow
mans hill, one gray old veteran threw
up his head and shifted at the fine fra
grant air blowing down the valley, and
in a moment little movement went
through the whole group. :
| The old leader wheeled about sharp
| ly, took long look at the clear sky
above, the brawling little brook clat-
terng over the stones, the grass and
the trees. then he drew up his head,
stiffened his tail, and sent forth pro-
longed, penetrating, strident heehaw
awaw, which woke the echoes over on
Maple Ridge, and, with an awkward
lu mbering bound he started down the
long slope.
In an instant the whole mass had
separated and was in motion. Such
running, racing, knicking and jumping
were never before seen-stiff knees, dim
eyes and spawned joints all forgotten
in the pure enjoyment of out Of doors.
They prayed and beloved, ran and
kicked, stopped for breath, then be-
gan again.
The whole village gathered at the
fence to see the fun; the men and
boys laughed and shouted, the babies
croWed and one or two women cried
little, for there we're sores and lame
mess and weakness in plenty.
When night fell they were still roll
ling about and racing, forgetful Of the
hunger and thirst that might be sat
isfied by the running stream and grass.
Old Mrs. Bascom, who lives at the
edge of the pasture field, was awak-
ened In the dark hours toward morn
Ing by the rapid rush of hoofs thun-
dering down the hillside, and turning
over on her pillow she murmered
drowsily: Dear Lord. who would
although that any livin' critter would
be so glad and thankful for nothin
