that Barkis did not appear to be willin'.

worse"
And the Rutland Herald adds the fol-
lowing comment:
Somebody seems to have misled the
Free Press in this matter.
The CALIFORNIAN is authorized to say
that Mr.. Dunnett has no notion OF being
a candidate for governor and will not be
a candidate. Furthermore as intimated
in the Rutland Herald Mr.. Dunnett has
not seen Mr.. Clement since the last cam.
paign.
When the late Judge Poland was ap-

run him for vice president with the late

The monkey tricks incident to we'd

since the suit has been brought by the
Pullman Company for damage done to
a parlor car. Some of the young men
nailed horseshoes, ribbons. slippers and
signs on the sides of the car and it had to
be sent to the repair shop. The company
have brought suit against the groom for
5000 damages and the outcome of the
case will be watched with interest by all
