High words followed, and Young threw a billiard ball at the other, whereupon the latter picked up a bottle and struck Young upon the head, cutting him severely. One of his arms was also broken. LAZY - When the fire alarm sounded yesterday, we noticed the slim condition of the “drag ropes” of the various engines. Are our young men becoming so lazy that they will not put into practice that which they preach? Does a little spell of warm weather unnerve them so that they skulk along the sidewalks in the shade, while men old enough to be their fathers are on the lines assisting to reach and overcome the fire? HEARING CONTINUED - The two Chinamen, Ah LEET and Ah HIM, charged with the murder of Ah CHOW, were brought before Judge RAMAGE this morning on habeas corpus. District Attorney ALEXANDER and N. Greene CURTIS appeared for the people, and COFFROTH and SPAULDING for the defense. The hearing of the case was finally continued till Friday next. WIFE BEATER - J.H. WILLIAMS, of Folsom, was convicted before a Justice of the Peace in that place on a charge of wife beating, and sentenced to twelve days imprisonment. He was brought to town yesterday by Constable HILL. IMPROVING - GRELLE, the young man who was stabbed in the Central Restaurant yesterday morning, was resting quire easy this morning, and hopes are entertained of his ultimate recovery. REFUTATION - Owing to the introduction of Champagne Mead into this Market, parties have seen the necessity of putting before the community a vile counterfeit, endeavoring thereby to cast a slur on the same, which has been styled “Sparkling Mead.” The component parts of Champagne Mead are patented, and the name trade-marked. We hereby give notice that any infringements will be prosecuted. We claim the palm as a Temperance Drink, and we propose furnishing it to the Citizens of Sacramento, through our Agent, Mr. T. DAVIDSON, No. 134 K st., who will promptly attend all calls. Kenyon, Gass & Co. ____________________________________________ Sacramento Bee Saturday Evening October 26, 1872 STATE TELEGRAPH ITEMS. Archbishop ALEMANY asks permission of the Twelfth District Court to sell the Catholic Church property in Woodland, Yolo county. E. MORTON was divorced from M. MORTON and Walter PAGE from Prudence M. PAGE-all in San Francisco this year. Ninety-eight cargoes of wheat have been cleared from San Francisco this year. The Great Invincibles paraded in San Francisco last night, 1000 strong. They will be in Sacramento this night week. The amount of banking capital in San Francisco, as represented by returns made by the banks to the Internal revenue Office, is about $48,000,000, on a currency basis. Of this, $40,00,000 is deposits. Of the whole amount, at least $44,000,000 is loaned out on various securities, mostly city real estate. The late Catholic Fair in Vallejo realized between $3,000 and $5,000. COGGINS and PAGE spoke at Grass Valley last evening, and J. T. FARLEY at Watsonville. Snow fell at Hamilton, Nevada, yesterday, to the depth of two inches. Judge QUINT had brought suit against Mrs. FAIR for $8,075, balance of fees due him, and attached her money in bank. Mrs. FAIR claims that the agreement was made by Mrs. LANE, and she therefore repudiates it. John M COGHLAN spoke at Chico last night. ENDOWMENT OF AN EASTERN UNIVERSITY. - We observe by yesterday's telegrams that William H. RAYMOND, of Oakland, has endowed a professorship in the University of Arts and Trades, at Toledo, Ohio, with $20,000. Mr. Raymond, one of the owners of the famous Raymond and Ely mine, is one of the wealthy men who have lately become resident of this city, and the little item telegraphed across the continent proves that he is a gentleman of liberality, and that he is using his money for the noblest of all objects, the promotion of the cause of education - Oakland News. A TITUSVILLE wife placed a toy snake in her husband's boot the other morning, and then could hardly get breakfast because of her snickering at his performances when he discovered it. He first looked in the mirror, then went and threw his demijohn of old rye into the mill-race. He drank thirteen cups of coffee at breakfast, and for several evenings afterward astonished his children by going to bed at nine o'clock each night. For Moth Patches, Freckles, and Tan, use Perry's Moth and freckle lotion. The well known reliable and harmless remedy for Brown Discolorations of the Face.

The beneficiary has been the leading spirit in the Amateur Association, and has often aided materially in pleasing, and entertaining the Sacramento public; and as he is about to leave us, it is but just that his former associates in the dramatic art should in some manner show their appreciation of his abilities in that line, as well as of his social and gentlemanly qualities. The piece selected for the occasion is the "Hunchback." MORE SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENTS. A new two story and basement brick building is being erected on Eighth street, between J. and L, by D. GILLIS, which, when finished, will be an ornament to that vicinity. The building is being erected on the site of Waterhouse & Lester's old wagon shop, and will be sixty by eighty feet. The basement will be used as a livery stable, and the carriages, etc., will occupy the first floor. The upper story will contain twenty-two elegant rooms. The front of the building will resemble very much that of the Golden Eagle Hotel, in design, only it will be smooth finished and painted. The contract for the brickwork is being filled by DOWTHET & KNAPP, and that of the carpentering by G.A. JACKSON. POLICE COURT ATTORNEY - The resignation of M.S. HORAN as Deputy District Attorney, has resulted in the appointment of I.S. BROWN to that position. The poor fellows and persecuted females who now come before the Police Court, can no longer regard BROWN as deliverer. Instead of the zealous advocate of the cause of John Doe, pleading so strongly that the wrath of Justice may be turned aside, he will henceforth be found ready to "put them through a course of sprouts," that will be by no means relished by them. OFFICERS ELECTED. - The Grand Council of House Carpenters of this State have elected the following officers for the ensuing term of six months, viz: President, J.C. GIBSON; Vice President, J. CROLEY; Recording Secretary, A.C. WHITE; Financial Secretary, Thomas Farr LUCAS; Treasurer, C.L. KNOWLES; Sergeant-at-Arms, Charles HONEYWELL. WATER TO BE SHUT OFF - Residents of the south side of J street and north side of K, from Sixth to Fourteenth streets, and from the alley between I and J, to that between J and K, on Seventh street, will take notice that the water will be shut off to-morrow morning about nine o'clock, and will remain off until eleven. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVECTION. - The Exercises this evening, at the State Sunday School Convention, being held in the Sixth street M.E. Church, will be as follows: Devotional exercises; Address of Welcome, by Rev. L.E. DWINELL, D.D.; Response; Address, "The Work before us," by Rev. O.P. FITZGERALD, D.D. AUCTION SALE, To-morrow - G.W. BADGER will sell a large lot of new and second-hand furniture, beds, bedding, crockery, etc., to-morrow, at his sales-rooms, corner of J and Fourth street. Also, a lot of carpenters' tools and **dlings, in good condition. PAINFUL ACCIDENT - A young man, named H. RATOWSKY, while riding with a friend on Sunday morning, was thrown from the buggy they occupied at the corner of K and Front streets, and suffered a fracture of one of his lower limbs. GRAND REPRESENTATIVE - The Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Red Men, which was in session here during the past two days, elected C.W. LUMLER as Grand Representative to the Grand Lodge of the United States. HOTEL FIXTURES FOR SALE - On auction next, G.W.

MUNROE and John E. HILL, drunk - Pleaded guilty. John DESARM, disturbing the peace - Not guilty. WHISTLING FOR HIS PUP - An amusing incident occurred a few days since, which was told us as follows: A well known and respected gentleman of this city was walking along J street the other day, whistling a tune, and met one of those "smart" individuals who inflict every community with their presence. Said individual wanted to make the former ashamed of his whistling abilities, probably, so he requested the gentleman - whom he was unacquainted with - to "Whistle for him." The other cooly eyed him a moment, and then replied that he had been whistling for his dog for some time. Smarty subsided, and went on this way feeling decidedly sheepish. ____________________________ Sacramento Bee Monday Evening May 2, 1870 DROWNED NEAR BENICIA - Captain HOUCK, of the schooner Clara L. West, which arrived last night form San Francisco, brought news of the drowning, on Thursday last, of Captain KNOPS, of the schooner Union, plying between here and San Francisco. It appears that the vessel was nearly opposite Benicia, and Captain Knops was in the act of jibbing the main boom, when he was knocked overboard. He was the sole owner of the vessel, and had been running on the river for the past ten years. NOT AT FOLSOM - The Good Templars’ picnic, which takes place to-morrow, will be held at Davisville, as at first announced, and not at Folsom, as stated subsequently. The train will leave the depot of the California Pacific Railroad at half-past eight o’clock A.M. Church & Jones have been engaged to furnish music for the occasion. DESTROYED BY FIRE - A building on the north side of L street, between Front and Second, owned by A. and J. BLACK, was destroyed by fire about five o’clock yesterday morning. The building was insured for fifteen hundred dollars. It was occupied at the time by Owen O. LYNN, whose loss, beyond insurance, is trifling. ORE - Six car-loads of ore from Galena Mountain, Nevada, arrived last evening. There are now regular shipments of ore to San Francisco from the Nevada mines for reduction. CONGESTION OF THE BRAIN - R.D. FOLSOM, formerly a resident of Virginia City, died at the County Hospital on Saturday, of congestion of the brain. STATE BONDS - D.O. MILLS & Co., on Saturday surrendered bonds of 1860, amounting to $3,070; also, $17,396.61 of bonds of 1857.

LODGING HOUSE FURNITURE - HUBBARD & HOUGHTON offer for sale the furniture and lease of a well furnished lodging house in this city. NO FIRE - The ringing of the bells on Saturday night meant that there was no fire. PACIFIC COMMERCIAL COLLEGE, Sixth street, between J and K, Sacramento. W.K. LAUDEN, Principal. Pioneers’ Meeting The Pioneer Association held its regular monthly meeting on Saturday evening, President McCLATCHY in the chair. Minutes of previous meetings read and approved. An application for membership from George HETZEL was referred to the Board of Directors. The Board having reported favorably on the application of Adolph PALM, that gentleman was duly elected a member of the Association The report of the Excursion Committee was received, and the Committee discharged. Resolutions of respect to the memory of the late Louis STEUDEMAN, as follows, were adopted: Whereas: An all-wise Providence has removed by death our late brother Pioneer, L. Steudeman, to that bourne from whence no traveler returns; therefore, be it Resolved, That this Association has lost one of its most valued members, and one whose death we most sincerely deplore. Resolved, That the community among which he so long resided has lost one of its most respectable citizens, an honorable merchant and an ornament to its society. Resolved, That we tender our hear-felt sympathy and condolence to his widow and family. Resolved, That this Association will wear the usual badge of mourning. Resolved, That these resolutions be published and a copy sent to the bereaved family. Major E.A. SHERMAN, presented to the Association the baton, badge and scarf worn by him as Marshal of the Pacific coast delegation that participated in the funeral ceremonies of the martyred President LINCOLN, in the city of New York, together with copies of the New York Herald of April 25th, and the New York Times of the 27th and 28th of April 1865, giving detailed accounts of the obsequies. He also presented the Association with a very fine petrified marine fossil, taken from White Pine Mountain, Nevada, showing the action of the spiral worm. The thanks of the Association were tendered the donor. Adjourned. The Giantess is the biggest thing in town, except that Bankrupt Stock that BEEDE & GILMAN have bought and are selling at half price: Boots, $2 to $3; Under Shirts, 37 ½ cts; Summer Suite, $5 to $12; Hats, Furnishing Goods, etc., at like prices - 282 J street, opposite the Plaza.

LESSONS given in Drawing and Retouching by Mr. HOSSACK, at his room, No. 17 New Bank, cor. 5th and J sts. STRAW HATS by thousands, for Ladies’ Misses and Children’s wear, cheaper than the cheapest, at C.H. GILMAN’s 198 J st. CAPITAL WOOLEN MILLS - An adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Capital Wooden Mills will be held this evening, at 7 ½ o’clock, at the office of W.P. COLEMAN, on J street, between Third and Fourth. ____________________________ Daily Bee Sacramento, Monday Evening, October 9, 1871 Look Out for Fires - Now that conflagrations are the order of the day, people should be careful where they throw ashes from their stoves, or we may again have to go through some of the bitter experiences of the past, when the fire-fiend stalked defiantly over the city leaving destruction and waste in his path. Yesterday special officer DUBOIS discovered a lot of rubbish burning in the alley between I and J, Front and Second street, which was in close contiguity to a board fence, and the latter to wooden buildings. By extinguishing the fire a conflagration of some magnitude was averted. BUGGY SMASHED - Yesterday afternoon a buggy in which was seated E. BLUM and another gentleman was upset at the corner of Eleventh and E streets, by which the gentlemen were somewhat bruised and one of the wheels smashed. One of them was heard to remark, as he picked himself up, that he was glad nobody was about, so that the reporters would not get hold of the matter and publish it. But “a chief was among ‘em takin’ notes,” and gives us the facts above. BURGLARIOUS - On Saturday night the store of Bronner & Clark, at Tenth and J streets, was entered by burglars through a rear window, who made a commendable attempt to get at the contents of the safe. They had only an ax to operate with, and didn’t succeed. The extent of the damage was the purloining of several cans of oysters. THE NORTHER - A strong breeze from the nor’west prevailed yesterday. The only damage known to have resulted was the filling of houses with dust and blowing off a lady’s head-gear, or chignon, on the street. Parties captured it after a long race and left it at SINGLETON & BRADY’s saloon. The hirsute curiosity is said to be worth something. THE SHAMROCK - This is the title of a saloon on Front street, kept by a person of the female persuasion. On Saturday night Mike BROWN and John SULLIVAN went there and opened a siege-fire upon the lady, their missiles being “mortified” pears. They were both arrested for disturbing the peace. STABBING AFFRAY - A man named John BROWN was arrested for stabbing one George INGLES, an employe at the Union Bakery. Brown was obfusticated with liquor, and Ingles extinguished him from the store, when he stabbed the latter. LARCENY - A man named Edward REED, an old offender, nipped a coil of hose from Hill & Co’s store, on J street, Saturday afternoon but was shortly afterward arrested.

Total, 179 ARRESTED FOR ARSON - Joseph BRANNAN, the occupant of the house on Fourteenth street, which was set on fire Saturday morning, has since been arrested on suspicion of being the incendiary. It is said that he had been drinking hard for some days and was in a somewhat despondent mood about that time. AUCTION TO-MORROW - J. DAVIS will sell to-morrow, at the residence of Mrs. F. BASS, 106 Second street, between L and M, all the nearly new furniture and household goods therein contained, a list of which is published elsewhere. Sale to begin at half-past 10 o’clock A.M. FOWLER ARRIVED - Prof. Fowler, of New York, the great “bumpologist,” arrived from the East to-day with his family. He will open his batteries first on the people of San Francisco; after which, it is hoped, he may come to Sacramento and tell our people something about their bumps. THE GREAT FIRE - Many persons here have received dispatches to-day from friends and relatives who lived where Chicago stood yesterday. All agree that the city was doomed and its destruction was near at hand. ____________________________ Daily Bee Sacramento, Friday Evening, November 3, 1871 OVERLAND - These persons arrived overland to-day: Mrs. O.E. PALMER, St. Louis; H. WAGNER, Mrs. General George P. SHRIL, San Francisco; Wm. M. LYON and wife, Sacramento; J.M. SPAFFORD, wife and three children, Chicago; P. LEVY, Brooklyn, N.Y.; W.

BASSETT, San Jose; Daniel KEIG and wife, Florence, Ohio. First class, 50; second class, 202; emigrants, 33. Total, 285. KNOWS NO RESPECT - The Record says it knows no respect of persons in criminal matters, and proves it by publishing one person charged with assault to murder as John Doe, and in another case give the individual’s name in full and then convicts him before the Court has a say in the matter. It evidently hasn’t much respect for consistency, either. CHANGE OF FIRM - The grocery business of P.H. RUSSELL, at 209 J street, has been disposed of to Billingsley & Foster, who have been long connected with that house. They will hereafter conduct the business at the same place. SEAL SKINS - Three cars of seal skins formed a part of the eastward bound freight train this morning. These skins came from Alaska, where a big business is carried on in that branch. DR. REUD, Homoeopathic Physician and Surgeon, Fourth and J streets, over Capital Savings Bank. Medicinal Oxygen administered for the Cure of Chronic Diseases. ____________________________ Daily Bee Sacramento, Monday Evening, November 6, 1871 BOMBASTES FURIOSO - The Chinese on I street have been granted the privilege of driving the Devil out of that region once more. This means a week or two of bomb-firing, cracker-snapping, squealing and gong-rattling, as of old. We could never understand why the Devil (no profanity intended) should come back at all after being so ignominiously kicked out on several occasions. He ought to know, it he knows anything, that he will not be allowed to stay there in peace. Poor old Satan - he is entitled to the sympathies of the community. DOUBTLESS AN INJUSTICE - Some days ago we gave the statement of a woman named COONEY, to the effect that her husband after abusing her had abandoned her and one child. We have since met the husband, who appears to be a sober, hard-working man, and he explained to us the cause of his wife’s strange conduct, which puts a different light on matters altogether. We are confident that injustice has been done him, and trust that her statement may not militate against him in any way. DISTRICT COURT - In the case of G.W. LEET vs. Angus DEWAR judgement was this morning rendered for defendant for $411, and a stay of proceedings ordered for 20 days. Judgement in favor of Emily E. HERSPERGER and against BUTLER et al. was also rendered for block 337 in Sutterville and $30 damages; stay of proceedings until further order. Also, in favor of same plaintiff and against STATE et al, for block 339 in the same locality. Court still in session. ARRIVED - These persons arrived to-day by overland train; J.H.

The presentation speech was made by ex-Captain H.S .KNOX, and responded to by the recipient. After that champagne corks popped, and a jolly time was enjoyed. JOCKEY CLUB ELECTION - At the meeting of the Jockey Club held on Friday night last these persons were elected as officers: President, J.S. WOODS; Vice Presidents, E.H. MILLER, Jr.; E.M. SKAGGS and H.M. BERNARD; Secretary, Samuel POORMAN; Treasurer, Chris GERRNE.

A man named Frank DOWNEY surrendered himself at the station house Saturday night, saying that he had killed a man, and talking in such a peculiar manner generally that officer RIDER locked him up on suspicion of insanity. Two carloads of immigrants will arrive from the East to-morrow morning. An owner is still wanted at the station house for four young chickens found in the possession of a Chinaman, in order that the rascal may be prosecuted.

A scrimmage took place at a late hour last Saturday afternoon between a well known lumber dealer of this city and a young box manufacturer, growing out of some business misunderstanding. Despite the fact that the box man is nearly 100 pounds lighter than the lumber dealer, the former succeeded in building quite a head on the latter. No nickles were bet on the result, but as the lumber man drew out of the fight, his greatest anxiety seemed to be to know whether his optic would be badly discolored. The drinking fountain in the Plaza has been roofed with a neat shed, which makes a welcome shade to individuals while quenching their thirst. A fire was discovered on Saturday evening in the old frame building formerly occupied as a depot for the old California Pacific Railroad. It was extinguished by a stream from the yard engine before any damage was done. St. Rose’s (Catholic) Church was crowded last evening on the occasion of the annul procession of the Blessed Sacrament. The exercises were highly interesting and were conducted by Rev.

The singing was very fine.

TRAMPS ON THE RAILROAD - Railroad men who run over “the hill” on the Sacramento Division of the Central Pacific complain that of late the tramps along the line of the road are more numerous than was ever known before, and much vigilance and work is required on the part of the brakemen and conductors to keep them off the cars. A day or two since a party of fifteen tramps endeavored to board the express train at Dutch Flat. The train had just started and the tramps stood ranged along the track ready to jump aboard as soon as the cars had got under good headway. The engineer, however, took in the situation at a glance and resolved on a strategic movement to prevent them getting on board. Slowly he backed his train down below the depot for about half a mile, and then throwing open the throttle he went past the tramps at lightning speed, leaving them all with the most discomfited looks on their countenance which it is possible to imagine. RESISTING AN OFFICER - About 10 o’clock this morning local officer BRISSELL arrested a youth named STERNS, whom he found in a beastly state of intoxication in the freight depot at the foot of K street. The officer started to the station house with the young lad, but before going far he was intercepted by a man who claimed to be a friend of STERNS’, who told the officer to release the boy, and on BRISSELL’s refusing to do so the man pulled a large pair of scissors from his pocket and in a barbarous manner went after the officer’s scalp lock. This was right in the officer’s hand and he proceeded to drop the drunk and devote himself to his assailant, with such good effect that he landed him in the station house, and officer BURKE brought up the rear with the drunken youth. On being taken to the police office the combatant refused to give his name and he was locked up on a charge of resisting an officer. POLICE COURT - In the Police Court the cases of the following culprits were attended to: Pat.

Juvenile thieves, from 8 to 10 years of age, have been robbing the till of the Baltimore Market on L street, between Seventh and Eighth, for some time past, having stolen about $35. Yesterday Mr. WETSEL, proprietor of the market, captured one of the boys and turned him over to the officers to whom he disclosed the names of his companions in crime, but as they were all too young to prosecute, they were set at liberty after being lectured. FUNNY How Arty Brace “Braced Up” Arty BRACE was, until recently, the local of the Elko Post, and a good man for the place, too, his witty and sparking brevities gaining for him the name of the “pungent paragraphist.” A few days ago he went to Virginia City, armed with letters of introduction to the journalists of that place. He went to the Enterprise office, was cordially received, and, when he left, somehow or other DAGGETTT couldn’t find his $100 meerschaum, GILLIS was minus a coat, and Dan DeQUILLE had lost a gross of lead pencils. BRACE next visited the Gold Hill News and Alf DOTEN showed him his silver specimens. He then took him to a saloon, introduced him to the barkeeper and left him for a time. When he returned to the offices he could not find a beautiful $50 specimen, and, returning to the saloon, found that BRACE has “stood the barkeeper off” for seventeen drinks on the strength of the introduction. DOTEN afterwards went to the Delta saloon and found there his specimen, BRACE having sold it for $4. Warrants were issued for the scapegrace but he had “skipped” the town. The police at Reno, Carson and other places were notified to look our for him. Parties who knew him at Elko say he was once in the State Prison for grand larceny. The Virginia Chronicle says “It seems almost incredible that a man who could have borrowed all the money he wanted among the newspaper men of the Comstock should have resorted to such petty theft, yet the evidence is conclusive against him. ____________________________ Daily Sacramento Bee Saturday Evening, August 17, 1878 Sale of Dime Bank Property - On Monday next, at 12 o’clock noon, by order of Sheriff DREW, Morris J.

CRAW, who resides on the Riverside road, about opposite the Half-way House, attempted to “shuffle off the mortal coil” by taking an ounce of laudanum. A physician was promptly summoned and during the evening and night did all in his power to save the life of the would-be suicide. These efforts were so far successful that his life was preserved till to-day. But the deadly drug had too surely taken hold of his system and this afternoon he succumbed to its overpowering influences and died. Information was promptly brought to the Coroner’s office and George MONTGOMERY, the efficient deputy, proceeded to the ranch to get the remains. The deceased was named Adherbal Craw, a native of New York, aged 73 years. On two former occasions he had attempted suicide - once by hanging and once by taking laudanum. He left a note stating that the suicide was deliberate.
