ATHE season for killing quail ends
on the goth and the few birds that
have survived the onslaughts will
then be given chance TO live through
the winter with nothing but cold and
hunger to kill them off. There has
been great deal of hunting this fall
but If the fellows who hunt out OF
season can be held down there is a
chance that there will be some birds
left for the next season.
IT seems that there has been less
Christmas shopping by our people In
the city than usual. This is certain
ly very commendable and is a just rec
IGNITION of the efforts Of our mer-
chaaos to provide what is wanted

shop is great fake. 1t is very much

she had struck great bargain could
get a 5000 wrap for $3.50. "Al
right says the husband "now if you
will tell me where to get the $l2. sc
everything will be lovely" The trip

under home prices.

Christian religion from the days of the
Apostles down TO the present period. The
discourse was listened to with marked
attention as the speaker passed over the
various ages during which the Catholic
church continued 10 build on the first
foundation laid by fathers of Christian

at the same time in the same court, each
having in it's hands the fate of a defend
ant, was enacted in Judge Cooks court
yesterday morning. James Cooley and
James Wright were the defendants. both
being charged with the same offense.

it's energies upon the question o. the guilt
or innocence of Cooley, and the other was
to determine the fate of Wright, the wit

BURGLARS ON THIRD STREET
Three Rifles Taken From a Gun
Store on Sunday Night

Burglars have again brokent tinto the
little gun store and repair shop of
Charles Carr at 3501a Third street. The
burglary was committed last Sunday
night and the thieves broke into the place
bv prying open the rear entrance. Upon
the return of Mr.. Carr he found that
they had taken away three rifles and
would no doubt have taken more, but
were probably frightenetseway. On the
occas sion of the previous entrance of the
nremises the proprietor was asleep in the
rear room, the entrance being effected by
prying open the lock Of the front door.
Carr at one time was one of the best
revolver shots on the coast, and when he
saw the thieves getting ready to cart off
the contents of his store he opened fire
uDon them through a crack in the wall.
The big 45-caliber weapon he used
alarmed the whole neighborhood and the
thieves escaped. One of the three was
seen going down the street leaning upon
the shoulder of companion; but the po-
lice never got on the track of the rascals.
The last burglary has been reported to
the police.
