Sargent is making his fight without the desire for, or the need of combinations. His enemies know this,but they have abandoned all regard for and hope to succeed. by the cry. of combination, when there is none. They once abandoned this ground, and assured the people that Sargent would be just the man to succeed Casserly, and they would all be willing to combine with him on ‘‘that lay,’’ but soon discovered they made a bad break; for the people and their héprasettatives cannot sea. why, : if Sargent’s enemies think he Would make a splendid Senator in a few years more, they should not. make him Senator now, “while the opportunity éxists, especially since they know him to be the choice of a Very large majority of the Republicans of back upon the old cry and talk about ea alos ; combinations.

Thé latter threw up his right arm to receive the blow and protect his head, but so powerful was the stroke that the cane was completely shattered. Lake, baffled in his first attempt, struck again furiously at De Young, who parried.all his assaults. Lake now retreated a . few paces and throwing his bludgeon away drew a large sized pistol. At thig time he was distant twelve or fifteen paces from ‘De ia be who, perceiving his murderous intention, threw up his hands to show that he was unarmed. But Lake, Parag disregarding thé defenceless! Gondition Mr. De Young was in, proceeded to cock his pistol. At this moment De Young rushed in upon him, and grasping the arm that held the weapon, threw it up over Lake’s head. . The latter, who isaman of more than ordinary muscular strength, . struggled furiously to lower his pis. tol arm and discharge the weapon. . But though largely Mr. De Young’s . superior in size and weight, he found it impossible to accomplish his murderous intention. For a few _ moe montis, wrestling —imthis + niaanes, . they swayed about the sidewalk, and at last fell together, Lake being up. permost. With all his might did . Lake endeavor te get the muzzle of . his murderous pistol in a line with De Young's body, but the latter, with all the ‘strength and energy of.a man betthng-feor dear hfe, retained his déspérate grip ‘of the would-be assassin'’s wrist. Once the muzzle was pressed against the forehead of the fallen man, who, collecting all his’ energy, forced the pistol away. Finally, Lake, fiercely bent on accomplishing his purpose, crushed his weapon against, De Young’s temple‘and pailed the ‘trigger, ‘but the ball only grazed the scalp of the intended victim, ipsiicting e slight flesh wound. © Mr. heeler, who was standing close by, received the missle in his left thigh just above the knee. Lake, perceiving that he had riot sueceded in sending his bullet through De Young’s brain, commenced Nesting ta on the head with his pistal, .several ugly-euts and Desieet “At Eat ly bystanders, who had hitherto ae prevented from interference by fear of the pistol, came to the rescue, and dragged off the infuriated assailant, who made final efforts to kick De Young as. he. was . being removed, cer Riley now succeeded in geétting a firm grip upon Lake's collar, who, finding he had failed in his effort to shoot wa én@eavoring to beat De Young’s brains out with the butt of his pistol. Riley secured Lake’s pistol and took him iuto custody. Sam.

Edwards. Here his bail was fixed at $1,008, and the last named gentlemen. were his bondsmen. Officer’ Riley made his charge of ‘‘assaulb -with: a: deadly ly. Weapun . with intent to murder,’ but Harry . * Bytne fiiterfered, stating that he was District Attorney; he wouldn't accept that charge; he was worth three hundred thousand dollars, and the charge should be simply “an agsault with a deadly weapon,’’ which was entered accordingly.

They stayed together on Thursday night, and Friday morning stdrted out to"hunt; each going in a different direction. At 120’clock on the same day Mr.: Waters and Mr. Bennett Sr. met at. the house from which fhéy had started, ry the morning, and young John was expected to be there according to Vergngements previously’ made. John, did not appear, but still they thought nothing strange of it because he' was an entusiastic sportsman, and they concluded’ that he had found good shooting ona lake near by. Mr. Bennett Sr., ‘started out again. Mr. Waters went to the lake where John Bennett Jr. was supposed to be hunting. Mr. Waters reached the north side of the lake, and ‘Apna a hat which showed the marks of a dog’s teeth and «paws upon’ it. He did not suppose the hat was that of John. Mr. Waters soon found some tracks on-the bank of the lake, and these were about the size of Johnny’s feet. He traced them toward Feather river. and failing to find young John; and the hour being late, he returned to the house where the party stayed. John did not returp; his dog had been at the house several times during the day barking and whining, which induced Miss Miller: at whose house the party had stopped, to suppose something was wrong. Saturday morning a search was made. A hook attached to the end of a pole was made by a blacksmith there, and a drag of the lake washad. This resulted in finding young Bennett. He had evidently been drowned by falling from a boat which had been used en the lake. / This little boat was found bcttom upwards in the lake. John was a good swimmer, but at the tiine of his falling into the water he was encumbered with a hunting coat, bencathe which was. ammunition: of about ten pounds, in weight. The body was found in ten feet of water, in depth, and abott 75 feet from the shore. His watch marked three minutes past 8 o’clock. The drowning occurred near the’ confluence of) Bear and Feather rivers. ‘the recovered remains were brought to Grasa Valley by Mr, Bennett Sr. and Mr. Waters. He was. uni 'y popular, and his untimely decease 1s generally regretted. ‘The family hyve the sympathies of this entire community. A Historical Character.

Thé latter threw up his right arm to receive the blow and protect his head, but so powerful was the stroke that the cane was completely shattered. Lake, baffled in his first attempt, struck again furiously at De Young, who parried.all his assaults. Lake now retreated a . few paces and throwing his bludgeon away drew a large sized pistol. At thig time he was distant twelve or fifteen paces from ‘De ia be who, perceiving his murderous intention, threw up his hands to show that he was unarmed. But Lake, Parag disregarding thé defenceless! Gondition Mr. De Young was in, proceeded to cock his pistol. At this moment De Young rushed in upon him, and grasping the arm that held the weapon, threw it up over Lake’s head. . The latter, who isaman of more than ordinary muscular strength, . struggled furiously to lower his pis. tol arm and discharge the weapon. . But though largely Mr. De Young’s . superior in size and weight, he found it impossible to accomplish his murderous intention. For a few _ moe montis, wrestling —imthis + niaanes, . they swayed about the sidewalk, and at last fell together, Lake being up. permost. With all his might did . Lake endeavor te get the muzzle of . his murderous pistol in a line with De Young's body, but the latter, with all the ‘strength and energy of.a man betthng-feor dear hfe, retained his déspérate grip ‘of the would-be assassin'’s wrist. Once the muzzle was pressed against the forehead of the fallen man, who, collecting all his’ energy, forced the pistol away. Finally, Lake, fiercely bent on accomplishing his purpose, crushed his weapon against, De Young’s temple‘and pailed the ‘trigger, ‘but the ball only grazed the scalp of the intended victim, ipsiicting e slight flesh wound. © Mr. heeler, who was standing close by, received the missle in his left thigh just above the knee. Lake, perceiving that he had riot sueceded in sending his bullet through De Young’s brain, commenced Nesting ta on the head with his pistal, .several ugly-euts and Desieet “At Eat ly bystanders, who had hitherto ae prevented from interference by fear of the pistol, came to the rescue, and dragged off the infuriated assailant, who made final efforts to kick De Young as. he. was . being removed, cer Riley now succeeded in geétting a firm grip upon Lake's collar, who, finding he had failed in his effort to shoot wa én@eavoring to beat De Young’s brains out with the butt of his pistol. Riley secured Lake’s pistol and took him iuto custody. Sam.

They stayed together on Thursday night, and Friday morning stdrted out to"hunt; each going in a different direction. At 120’clock on the same day Mr.: Waters and Mr. Bennett Sr. met at. the house from which fhéy had started, ry the morning, and young John was expected to be there

according to Vergngements previously’ made. John, did not appear, but still they thought nothing strange of it because he' was an entusiastic sportsman, and they concluded’ that he had found good shooting ona lake near by. Mr. Bennett Sr., ‘started out again. Mr. Waters went to the lake where John Bennett Jr. was supposed to be hunting. Mr. Waters reached the north side of the lake, and ‘Apna a hat which showed the marks of a dog’s teeth and «paws upon’ it. He did not suppose the hat was that of John. Mr. Waters soon found some tracks on-the bank of the lake, and these were about the size of Johnny’s feet. He traced them toward Feather river. and failing to find young John; and the hour being late, he returned to the house where the party stayed. John did not returp; his dog had been at the house several times during the day barking and whining, which induced Miss Miller: at whose house the party had stopped, to suppose something was wrong. Saturday morning a search was made. A hook attached to the end of a pole was made by a blacksmith there, and a drag of the lake washad. This resulted in finding young Bennett. He had evidently been drowned by falling from a boat which had been used en the lake. / This little boat was found bcttom upwards in the lake. John was a good swimmer, but at the tiine of his falling into the water he was encumbered with a hunting coat, bencathe which was. ammunition: of about ten pounds, in weight. The body was found in ten feet of water, in depth, and abott 75 feet from the shore. His watch marked three minutes past 8 o’clock. The drowning occurred near the’ confluence of) Bear and Feather rivers. ‘the recovered remains were brought to Grasa Valley by Mr, Bennett Sr. and Mr. Waters. He was. uni 'y popular, and his untimely decease 1s generally regretted. ‘The family hyve the sympathies of this entire community. A Historical Character.
