no Jurisdiction In the caso. They ask that

Tlio failure resulted from a superfluity of

been utterly unable to collect money thafwas
owing tiim from patrons , on account of the

been able to collect this money ho would Imvo
succeeded in mooting his obligations and
Imvo passed over the dull season safely , His
creditors kept pressing him , however , nnd
ho had to take this way of satisfying them.
It was impossible to ascertain last evening
what the assets will amount to. A futr stock
Is on hand , nnd It is thought that it , together
with the amount ot outstanding accounts ,
will be sulllclent to pay nearly nil the dobts.

was a continuance ) until sucb ttmo as Mr.
I'usoy shall bo able to attend. None of the
cases that followed In the assignment were
ready for trial , so an adjournment was taken
until this morning , after n few matters of
minor importance had been attended to.
A decree of foreclosure was granted In the
case of Charles Bowman against Kato 13.

Sackott's addition.
An objection to motion for a continuance In
the three cases in which J , P. Casady Is defendant -
fondant was filed by tlio attorneys for the
plaintiff , Wright & Ilsddwin. 'Ihoy allege
that n continuance has been asked for by the
attorneys for the clcfondant.it every term of
comt since that of .lanuarv , ISUu , nnd has
each ti mo been supported by nllidavlts from
physicians stating that the health of the do
foiid.uit Is such as to tender the trial of the
case impossible. Thov argue from this that
tlio health of the defendiintls constantly fail
ing , and that n continuance of the case to an
other term of court will bo equivalent to
turning tlio plaintiff out of lourt altogether.
A motion for a continuance was filed in the
case of W V. Cranrlo vs Charlotte Mulsh ,
by the plaintiff , on the ground of a failure of
ceitaln depositions to arrive that it is
claimed are essential to the trial of the case.

"Tho business iintl sporting llfo of the

'jrlorlous climate of C'lillfornla' was a
feverish one , " < myt > General William
Humph revs , mi old ploncof , in the St.
Louis Ctlobo- Democrat. "To the -JOors
the oldest tilings of the effete c-nbt hud
pnfiscd away und all things .hnd bccotno
now , It was not an unusual tiling at
Billy Owons' pliico to sco u mini walk in
and lii.y down iv certificate of deposit for
810,000 , on tlio ncohnvin T llrstnskcd the
banker to oovor his bet. Without a
olinnpo of muselo banker and player
| would ( abiilo the coming out of the ace ,
and if the bank won ho qulotlv raked in
ills $10,000 rortifioato of deposit , laid it
in his left hand drinsur , nnd the man in
front of the table went out ti wiser und u
poorer mini to begin prospecting airtiin
lit Poverty Flat.
I once saw u rich man como in nticl ,
tiring of 'picking' along with
bets on n single curd , he nonchalantly
tapped on tlio high card with his pencil
ll.H ho siilil : 'Mr. Denier , I'll just go you
or the high card my three-story brick
hotlso . . . , near the Palace hotel , against
your $20.1)00 ) , ' nnd drawing out of his
pocket his deed , tlio bettor laid it on tlio
ace. 'Dono'said the dealer , who was
likely to have a * 10,000 bankroll in his
pocket 1 and n reserve fiinil of $100,000 in
u small safe in the corner of his gambling
hell , tjuiotly the outside betting' went
01 and Hourly nil the cards \voro outtho
ace being the Soda' curd nnd throe ncoa
Htlll in the box. The deed still lay on
the aco. At last , when Mug. jack and
three aces were the only cards in the box ,
the hotter said : Hold' Dealer ! I'm d d
tired of that rice. It's going to split. I
want to put my brick house on the king ; .
Are you ngrocdi" 'Cert , ' exclaimed the
dealer , lie pulled. Outcainotho king- ,
falling- tlio right of the dealer. The
bank lost. The man with tlio brick
hous.0 won $20,000. 'How will you have
your money , ' wild Mr. Dealer. 'Cheek , '
laconically answered the lucky gambler.
The dealer's hide partner filled out a
cheek , while the game went on. "
"Hilly Owens anil Judge Jones were as
no as the Siamese twins to each other.
The bond that bound them was n friend
ship that only ended with the life of
Judge Jones , who died with ills boots on
in his ort'n faro bank , killed by a cowboy
who got the drop on him in a light over
a disputed bet. One night in May , when
the game'run light , ' as gamblers bay ,
and Judge Jones hud played in a good
streak of luck for a month , Billy Owens ,
Hushed with 'Old Otard , ' came baeic to
the faro lay-out from his sumptuous pal
ace of jrin and sin. Walking up to his
chum lie said ho said : 'Judge Jones ,
tills is a mighty mean game with these
hundred-dollar pikers around the board.
How much you got in that big bafo over
yonder ! " M ust $ ; WflOO in tliur , old man , '
opliod the judge , 'and that's just
: iU,000 moro'n you'vo got the band in
your cm w to try and win. ' 'Ah , that 'ri
your little game , is it , old Texas never
tire ? ' exclaimed Hilly Owens , just full
onnupli for n 'llyer. 'I'll just go you
my check on the California bank
for $ U2,000 , cold 'plunkors. " 'Put ' up or
shut up , Billy , sententiously answered
the Texas judge , as his stool gray eyes ,
expanding wide , shone like twor' white
diiimondsT Hilly Owens walked over to
the gamblers' oseretoiro and a well
regulated gambling place is never with
out a table called ' '
-'secretary , whore
pen and ink are ready , and bank
checks , without any particular
bank's name , can always bo found. Tlio
saloon keeper iilledip a cheek on the
bank of California for $ ; tl,000 ! and signed
it up and walked back to Judge Jones.
"Lip to this moment Jones thought
Billy was foolin' . Ilo was mistaken , j
"I'll bet this is the pot (1 ( , 7 , 8 Against
your safe and contents. ' 'It is well , '
bald Jones wilhout a smile , pulling out a
big safe key from his hide pocket , and
slapping it down hard in the pot. 'That
represents my wealth , ' said dealer
Jones. All the other players censed to
watch the gamo. Tlio third turn , as the
key laid hugging the check for $ , ' 1 000 ,
the six , seven , and eight spots came out
of the box. 'Dusted ! by the everlasting
jumping jingo ! ' yelled 'tho Texas judpo ;
but d n my eyes , Bi'ly ' , you are the
very man 1 want to win if I must lose. "
"The bank broke , and till daylight
Billy Owens made it lively for the boys ,
and within a week , the judge , who
closed his bank and wont away , struck
it rich in a placer mine , and opened up
a now game more gorgeous than the
first , in spite of his landlord calling the
turn on his sufo koy. _ "
A Curious Coinuliloiico.
"Speaking of coincidences ' '
, said the
man with the wooden leg , as ho lighted
a half consumed cigar ho had been car
rying in an old handkerchief ; "speaking
of coincidences , gentleman , I can toll
you a very singular thing. 1 was going
up Niagara street , in Buffalo , when I
saw a man with a wooden leg on the
other side of tlio street coining down.
Wo looked across at each ether and
stopped. Says I to inybolf , and bays ho
to himself :
" 'That follow lost his log at the battle
of GoltvHburg , or I'm a sinner ! ' "
"WollV" asked ono of the group.
"Wo looked at each ether across the I
street for a moment , and then says I to
myself and says ho to himself :
" 'I'll strike him for quarter , and nn
old comrade nnd follow-sufl'eror will shell
out. ' "
"Well ? "
"Very curious coincidence , gentlemen
very curious , " continued the man , as
ho pulled away ntliis old stub. " We
mot on the crosswalks.o shook
hands. Wo struck each other for a
quarter , but didn't got it. AVe were both
dealt broke. Neither of us was in the
b.ittlo of ( jottybburg , or any ether but
tle. Then says I to myself , and says ho
to himself :
"Blast his eyes ! but he's traveling on
his Bhapo and tolling a tale of woe , and
ho'b no man for motoasboeiatowith ! 'and
BO wo walked otT. I don't like t'oincl
deuces mybclf ; there's no money in * om. "

Nebiaska and Its prairies ; Colorado nnd its
mountains ; Utah and its wonderful Salt
lake ; Nevada and IU mid plains and Cull-
fornia with Its innumerable attractions , are
all compassed In this trip. Omaha , the most
prosperous city in the union today. Denver ,
the queen city of the Hockios ; Salt Lake , the
/ion of Moimondom ; San Fianc-isco , the
golden gate , and Los Angeles , the City of
Our Mother of the A.igels , form .1 string of
Jewels of raicst water.
These nro all prosperous cities ; thov are
all beautiful cities ; they are all wonderful
cities. Each is remarkable for some particu
lar reason. No two of them are
alike hi attractions and no tiaveler
can afford missing to see each nnd
all. In tlio months of Juno , July , August
and September the prairies of Nebraska , the
Rocky mountains , tlio valleys of Utah and
the gi cat Sierra range are seen to the best
possible advantage. It is the fruit season of
California , tha sight seeing period of all tlio

of tbo year for tnucl.

tremendous wateifall , above it anil below it
and all about it aio other scenes which Imvo
attracted travelers from all parts of the
world. Goat island , tbo burning spiing , the
whirlpool rapids , the suspension bridge , are
Incidents merely to a visit to Niagara falls.
The llehl on which the battle of Lundy's
Lauo was fought Is within a few minutes' '
drive on tlio Canadian side. The facilities
for visiting all points of Interest on either
side of the river are superior. The regula
tions controlling access to and from tbo sev
eral points now prevent the exorbitant
churnes which wuio formerly almost as fam
ous as the cataract. A day or a few days at
