Saturday afternoon the sawmill of

large quantity of lumber was destroy
ed. The mill was saved with little
damage. The lumber was the proper
~ of c. e. Herr. First reports plac-
ed the loss of lumber at 10000 feet.
but more conservative estimate
placed it at about 10000 feet, while
the engineer of the mill. who came in
this morning. thought the lumber
burned would not amount to more
than 10000 feet. Mr. Herr is out
there today sizing up the situation.
Owing to there being various grades
of lumber destroyed, it is impossible
at this time to give the value. Mr..
Herr carried $500 insurance. He had
considerable more. but cut it down
few days ago.

CHINESE TRAMP IN COURT
Celestial Who Has Aversion to Work
Is Fined Ten Dollars for
Vagrancy

The court officials in Justice Austin's
court were somewhat surprised yester-
day when HON Sing calmly confessed
being a chinese tramp.
81 don't remember ever hearing of a
Chinese tramp BEFORE" said Bailiff
Rosso thoughtfully The police records
only contain one previous case.
Sing was arrested by the Chinatown
squad for sleeping in hay barn on
North Alameda street.
When questioned by an interpreter
Sing admitted he was aVerse to work
and for that reason was practically os-
tracised by his countrymen.
Wandering from town to town. sub
sisting on the scanty hospitality of
Chinese. Sing evidently has had a
strenuous career as a nomad. Stunned
by the genial knights of the road as
no pal of theirs, Sing has led lonely
life by choice.
He said he worked on ranches once
in a while in order to earn a little
money with which to purchase opium
and served as a cook at times.
Justice Austin fined him $40, with
the usual alternative of leaving town
at once to avoid payment of the fine.

CURRENTS NOT ON RATE SHEET
Young Freight Clerks Must Suffer
Practical Jokes

When a new clerk is engaged in the
freight department of any Of the rail
roads he is sure to be initiated" by
some of the jokers. The old trick is
to make him look for a long time for
the rate on some article that is never
shipped or never exists.
bright young man was hired by
the Southern Pacific couple OF weeks
ago and for several days was undis-
turbed. One morning he proudly took
possession of the Office, for his superior
had gope away for the day and given
him charge.
Southern Pacific freight Officer
came over the wire.
Eyes, SIR
please give me the rate on three
tons of electric currents in boxes from
New York city"
The clerk searched his rate sheet
through and through, but could not
find any provision made for the ship
ment of electric currents.
Can you tell me the classification"
he asked over the phone.
Being informed that the inquirer did
not know the classification he said that
the proposed shipper would have to
wait until the next morning, when his
superior would be in. Great was his
chagrin a few hours later when he
asked another freight man concerning
the electric currents to find that he had
been the butt of a joke.

LOSES BANANAS
THROUGH FIGHT
BIDDERS WRANGLE AND BY
STANDER GETS FRUIT
PugiIistic Tendencies of H. Green Cost
Him Fine of Ten Dollars When
Brought Into Court on
Battery Charge

AS the result of an alteration at a
fruit market H. Green, a fruit man,
was tried on a charge of battery yes
terday before Justice Chambers.
According to the testimony A.
Becker was bidding on a bunch OF
bananas when Green interfered.f
Becker was about to close the bar
gain at $1.25, when Green is said to
have offered five cents more.
This caused a wrangle which resulted
in a fight.
Becker said he was struck by Green.
In defense a witness was summoned
who told what he saw of the fight.
II tell you, Judge, it was pretty
hot fight while it lasted" said the wit
ness. Fruit was scarce that day and
the dealers were bidding pretty high. l
guess Becker was angry because Green
overbid him"
''What became of the bananas ?"
asked the judge.
"Oh, bought them while the other
two were squabbing," remarked the
witness with a grim smile"
Mr.. Green paid a fine of $40.
