Another of the Argonauts of 40 has
passed from the busy scenes of life.
Rufus Butterfield, after a brief illness,
died at his home on Sunday at the age
of 81 years Only a few days ago Mr.
Butterfield was about town He SEEM
ed quite feeble, but did not appear to
be SO near the threshold of death.
Deceased was a native of Rodan, JEFF
ferson County, N. Y. He early learned
the carpenters trade, and followed that
occupation in the latter years of his
life. At the age of 10 years he went
to New Orleans and engaged in mercan-
tile pursuits, removing to Nashville in
1S47. In 1S49 he came to California,
by way of Panama, and in company
with Edward Hicks opened a store in
Sacramento.
Later Mr.. Butterfeld enga ged in min

Arriving in San Francisco the second
time he went into business there. but
was burned out in 1851. He then came
back to Sacramento and started a small
store on street, but in 1852 sold out
and went to Nevada County and again
engaged in mining.
The death of his wife soon followed,
and he took his two daughters back to
the East to be educated. Again he took
up his home in Sacramento, where he
contented himself with following his
trade of carpenter. Subsequently he

DEFY THE LAW.
Complaint is Made to Bicyc1ists on
the Sidewalks.

Much complaint is made, more es-
pecially by residents above Tenth
street, that large number of bicyclists
openly defy the ordinance against rid
ing the sidewalks. Naturally, the side
walk riders watch for opportunities
when the officers are not in sight, but
this should not prevent any citizen from
swearing to a complaint If he sees any
one violating the law.
One citizen states that as he was
walking on a block near Twelfth street
a few days ago he met a burly fellow
riding on the sidewalk, who called to
him to get out of the way. IF l had
had cane, or anything of the sort"
said he, Il would have showed him who
owned the walk. No, 1 did not find
out his name nor try to have him ar

American Rule a Fiasco.

Spain believes that American rule in
the Philippines will prove fiasco. Spain
also believed it utterly impossible for
America to whip her. After vigorous ar
gument Spain changed her mind on one
point, and she may yet on another There
is no more chance of Americas failing to
do what she has made up her mind to do
than there is of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters failing to cure any stomach trouble,
or any disease arising from weak
stomach. The Bitters is an American
remedy which never has failed-which
cannot fail. 1t has cured more cases of
constipation, indigestion malaria. fever
and ague, liver and kidney troubles than
any other remedy. All druggists keep it.

In respect to the venomous insinuations

HENLEY'S STATEMENT.

liar.
A reporter of the paper called on me
and made a short, concise statement,
which I declared to be substantially
correct, but it was not the statement
that appeared in print AS to what
may or may not happen, 1 am unable
to say other than to state that they
are merely the mouthings of some one
who knows but very little about law.
Every act in the matter of either Jus
tice Merkley or myself was a proper
and legal one, and l am prepared to de-
fend them when called upon to do SO.
Furthermore, l would repeat every act
whenever the occasion might demand.
Every reputable attorney knows that
after Justice Merkiey assumed control
of the case that Justice Henry no lon
ger had anything to do with it, and
why the latter's name should be lugged
into the article | am unable to see.
There was no reason why any one
should notify him, and he did not re-
ceive any notice.
1t is the almost invariable rule for the
court to require the attorney to prepare
the judgment. Such was the case, be-
fore Judge Hinkson was on the bench,
and during that time. and the custom
has been continued and still is in vogue.
He himself has required me to prepare
a judgment ready for his signature.
There is no provision in our law as
to the time when Justice of the Peace
must enter a judgment, but the subject
has received the attention of our Su-
preme Court.
In Lynch VS. Kelly al Cal, 232) the
l,o11 flo% Is%l,
judgment by Justice of the Peace,
upon the verdict of the jury, is a mere
clerical duty, which he may be compell-
ed to perform; and if he fails to do so
a motion to set aside an execution
should be sustained; but an execution

That a half-pint OF hot water taken on

That a fever patient can be made cool

That uncomfortably fitting shoes with
high heels not only cause an awkward

and other maladies
That tumber of hot. strong lemonade
