BrannOn Plus Lead

1t was in 1871, when money was
plenty. a 25-cent piece being the
smallest coin in circulation, thai the
campaign in which Governor Haight
and Newton Booth were running for
the gubernatorial seat resulted In an
amusing incident arising from the
elections, says the Call. Sam Hall. who
kept a saloon. vas a strong Haight
man. while Sam Brannan was equally
as strong for the Republican nominee,
Booth. While discussing the merits of
their men In Halls saloon n night
a wager was made between Hall and
Brannan with a $500 fol felt that the
loser of the bet should trundle the
winner in a wheelbarrow from Wash
ington to California street and back
When the final day came, Booth be-
ing the winner in the election, 1T was
announced hat the trundling act
would come off on Saturday after
noon. 1t is needless to add that the
sidewalks on the line or the streets
were crowded. At the appointed hour
Alexander Badlam, who was a rela-
tive Of Sam Brannan, appeared on the
scene with the w~heelbarrow and, set
waited for the men who were to ng-
ure in the event. They came, Hall In
shirt sleeves, hatless, with a girdie
about his waist and his sleeves rolled

his usual street costume, seated him
self in the barrow.
Hall started with his load and be-
fore he had proceeded a block the
p%erspiration was rolling down his face.
He wobbled about as if laboring hard
under a heavy strain; he pushed away.
however, until he arrived at Sacra-
mento street, when, In deep disgust, he
dropped the a. w and threw VI his
hands in token of defeat, at the SAME
time volunteering to pay the forfeit
Halls discontinue vas due to one of
Badlam's practical jokes, for he had
secretly concealed 100 pounds of lead
underneath the bottom of the barrow,
knowing that this additional weight
would tire out the brawny Hall before
ne had trundled Brannan half way.
1t may be added that Hall got all of
$500 and more back from the sporting
crowd thai in those days made Mont
gomery street their rendezvous. Theii
sympathies manifested themselves In

please ask this man some questions TO
find out If he is sailor or whether he
Is an impostor." IT, naval man stood
up, and. looking al ne prisoner, asked,

The Eskimo are the greatest of all
mask makers. During their religious
ceremonials they impersonate their own
various gods. wearing masks for the
purpose, but the most curious thing Is
that they wear little masks on their
fingers as well as big ones to cover
their faces. These finger MASKS. the
like of which are unknown anywhere
else in the world. usually represent the
sun. They are of wood. carved With a
laughing or weeping face. and the rays
of the sun ere represented by white
hair from the belly Of the wild rein

EAST LAKE COUNCIL.
w. J. Waldrop Elected Alderman for 54 Third Ward.

At meeting of the East Lake council alderman from the Third ward to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of AL dernaan Simms, who resigned on account of having removed from the city.
 An ordinance providing for Issuing s12500 worth of bonds for street improve ments was passed. An ordinance was also passed providing for $500 worth of im- provements on the public school building.
 The members of the council present at the meeting were Mayor Robinson, Alder men Blackburn, Burchfeld, Cruill, Finch, Walden. Simms, McClendon and Mont gomery.
 The ordinance relative to granting the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company a franchise for the new loop was postponed until the next meeting as the route of the proposed loop has not been definitely decided.
 The ordinance passed providing for the issuance of the street improvement bonds was voted on by the citizens on August 15 and was carried by large majority.
 As soon as the bonds are sold the work of improving the streets of East Lake will be commenced.
 Alderman Waldrop, who was elected last night, was a member of the board for two years in the administration pre- ceding the present one. He is one of the chief clerks in the judge of probate's office and is very popular.

At the meeting of the police comnlis- sion last night Policeman Dickerson was found guilty of the charge of drunken ness while on duty, and dismissed. He failed to appear to defend himself, and a resignation written by him was read. The commission refused to accept the res- ignation as there were charges against the policeman, so Chairman Parker nov ed that the charges be sustained and the policeman dismissed from the force The action was unanimous.
 Policeman Joe Nix was found not guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and the case against him was dismissed. M. H. Holeman preferred the charges, which were in regard to an arrest the policeman made, but there was little ground for them and the commission acted unani- mously.
