session yesterday. The grand jury de-
Eermined not to let the absence of the
witnesses deter them from continuing
the investigation, and after the session
many new names were given the sher-

fore the grand jury on Wednesday aft
ernoon at $3.50 o'clock, at which time
the investigation will be resumed.
Several witnesses were examined
yesterday. They told the grand jury
what they knew of the policy shops.
Those who testified were Willie Jack
son, Wesley Ulmer and Charlie Gov
ern. Policeman King was also called
upon to tell all he knew of the con-
Quoting of policy shops on his beat.
The evidence was not, however, suf-
ficient to warrant the return of indict-
ments.

What disagreeable thing a NEEDLE
some newspaper man can be when he
tries. The Sacramento Bee has been
making itself nuisance to a lot OF
practical politicians" who do bust
ness in California's capital city. 1t
seems that one Thayer, who is an en-
gineer, wanted a job running sewer
pump, and when the agent of "the
push" asked him the regular price for
jobs of that class, some $3.50, he OBJ
jected, and did not get the job. The
Bee man heard of the affair, and told
all about it, and now demands that the
man who paid the price in good faith
for the position be not appointed. If
such things continue, what will the
boys who run the politics of the coun-
try do for a living? 1t will ruin the
business completely.

The Tonopah Way.

This week we heard a story by gen.
tleman from Tonopah of how Justice
was dished out in that camp during
the period when ''leasers" were doing
business there. At that time there
was not much law in the camp. jim
Butler, the discoverer OF the camp,
was by general consent arbiter of all
disputes, and his decision was final in
all cases, and generally conceded to be
just. On one occasion two men, one a
Mexican, who had been in Buffers
employ, and the other an American,
got to fighting. A constable inter-
fered, and arrested the Mexican, who
was mad as wet hen, and refused to
go with the officer. He had to be
overpowered and handcuffed. Finally
he was landed in room at the rear OF
saloon, and locked up. Butler was
sent for, and after a while came in.
He took the irons off the prisoner,
much to the surprise of the constable,
who had warned Butler that the man
was dangerous. Butler sail that he
guessed no one would be hurt While he
was around, and invited the Mexican
to take Il drink. lie then addressed
the prisoner in about this fashion:
Jose, you have made trouble enough.
Go home, and stay there, and to-mor-
row morning take your shovel and
pick and go to work. Mr.. Mexican
objected, saying he would lick the
other fellow before he went to work,
or get licked himself. mo you won't,
do anything of the kind" said Butler
You either stop monkeying, and &C
to work in the morning, or get out OF
the camp, and don't want any more
back talk, either" That settled it.
Mr.. Mexican shut up, and went home
Butler then sent for the other man
and told him the same story. He also
objected to being dictated to, but he
went to work, just the same This
proceeding was not exactly in accord
with the way the lawyers do, but II
had the desired effect.

means of this particular bill and par

campaign expenses were paid by the
corporation were enabled to walk out
of the Board, and leave the rest pow
erless to act. ''Give the law a chance;
don't condemn any one or anything"
says an apologist. Why, that is just
what the corporation wants-to give
the law a chance, and keep mum about
it. A most thorough and searching
examination should be made into the
charges, and it is the plain sworn duty
of the Attorney General to inaugurate
it. 1t is part of his contract with the

a ChiAess Legend of the origin of
This Fierce storm.

-
This Fierce storm.
This very odd bit is by a Chinaman:
"a little schoolboy while on his way
to school one day picked up what
seemed TO him a small white pebble.
He put 1t into his pocket. 1t proved to
be d snake egg, and In time through
the heat of his pocket 1t Matched out a
yonng reptile.
"The boy fell in love with 1t and car
ried 1t from day to day TO school with
him and fed 1t with part Of his own
lunch until 1t became too big to be car
ried, when he made n nest for II at
home.
But one day 1t suddenly grew to
enormous size, and upon the boys ar
rival home he was frightened to death.
when the monster saw what he had
done he was sorely afflicted and re-
fused TO be fed, but Immediately put on
mourning by turning his color from
brown to pure black. He crawled be-
side the grave of his departed friend
and lay there for seven days and
nights.
AT the completion of the seventh
night he came back to his late home.
but the boys old mother was SO en-
ragged at him for killing her only son
that she picked up an az and chopped
his tail off
with fearful scream and lash of
his bleeding tail he felled the house
and made his way to the Moo Soon San
mountains. where he never shows him
self but once year. just about the
time when he lost his tail, to come out
and make trouble for the people by ere
ating storms called the typhoon. This
he does TO square himself for losing his
valuable tail"
