escape,
1t was when he was running dime
museum in Milwaukee.
One day mild-mannered Russian
came out OF the railway station up at
the town that was made famous. with
a valise in his hand He was heavily
bearded man and with shaggy hands
and arms like George Esnu. He hunt

The cabman told him and then
asked: Want to ride up?"
YES" the bearded stranger told
him quietly. almost bashfully. "Tm.to
be employed up there. I'm the wild

San Franclsco's Rat War.

The raid on rats at this time Is not
the first Of the kind In San Francisco.
In 1852. when the sidewalks in Kearny
and Montgomery streets We're as un-
even as the existing walks In Mar
ket street east Of Front. and wero
made up of dry goods boxes laid in
the mud end to end, some high and
some low, the town was overrun with
rats OF all colors-gray, white, brown
and black At night they would
crawl out of their holes and run along
the uneven walks. They were SO thick
on the streets during the spring of the
year named that women were afraid
to go out after nightfall, and tho
men who ventured forth OH the poor
ly lighted streets often stepped on
dozen rodents In walking the distance
Of block. 1t was no uncommon thing
to see men with crooked canes on tho
sidewalk playing shinncy, the rats be-
ing used in place Of knurs. In that
way many were killed.

The Hanford Columbian came to
hand last week with the name of
Perry Willoughby as publisher.
The new proprietor was a faithful
employee in the Courier Office the
past year and a half and we are
sure the Columbian has come into
good hands. Mr.. Willoughby is a
hustling worker and an experienced
printer in both city and country
shops and if the Hanford people
meet him half way he will give
them paper Of which they will be
proud. His work with us is a
guarantee to them of faithfulness
and reliability. Within a week OF
two he will enlarge the paper.
