How Beerstecher Bamboozied she
Boys.
Flaming posters and newspapers
had been announcing for some days
past that C.J Buorstecher and J.T.
Lewis would speak at the Theatre
public’s benefit it may be. well to
stite that Be stecher is one ofthe
2570 ex-le'egates to the Convention
_that placed the new novel before
the people for theif rejection on
next Wednesday, aad that Lewis
is the man who asserted in a speech
nade before our ‘citizens a few
weeks since that no man, partly or
ecétion, should be ALLOWED to vote
against the “Constitution” if it
was what its makers-elaimed it to
be. Inotker words, Beerstecher is
one of the feliows who strove in the
Convention to bulldese all capital
out of the State by his communirtic
utterances, and Lewis ig the man who
_openly advised his party to compel
tue rest of the citizens to~vote 8
they (the WKearneyites) dictated.
in spite of all preparations
made, the two worthies fuiled to in‘ict their presence on the community. A good siged crowd had assombted at the Theatre at the time
specified. A goodly share of the
a idience, it is needless to say, turned out with the single desire to satis‘y their curiosity in regard to Beerstecher’s eccentricities. When time
catie for the speaking to commence,
neither of the expected orators had
turoed up. Phe" boss—leeat ‘Kear-]
aeyites were in a dreadful dilemma,
They could’t “let that
home without having some kid
a circus. ©. W. Kitts was prevailedupon to take the President's chair,
and Henry Herazinger, Jr:, was nominated Secretary. The Guild brother’s orchestra was secured and the
fancommenced. E, Jewell, Jolinny
Kiste’s partner inthe Eclipse Satoon, favored the atdience with
two popular songs. They were reo
dered in a fine manner, and the audience expressed their delight by
Youd and long ‘ontinned applause
crowd go
“John T. Wickes next took the stage;
and performed ow the flying trapeze of hightaTutin . sentehcesfor the
remainder of the evening. “It is. the
impression of thoge who watched
the drift of his argent closely,
that Wickes was speaking in favor
éf the new Constitution.
As we have intimated on one gr
‘two previous occasions, the Kearneyitesof Nevada county are demoralized .
at
Grass Valicy Sandlotters.
Some of the new Constitution’s
advocates resort .to the most contemptible trickery in hopes of holu.
ing-their ownl against‘the tide: of
poplar sentiment that has turned
against them. ~ For instance, the
Union relates how the meeting of
Judge E. D. Wheeler, of San Francisco, had-been announced for a
week previously, but on Wednesday
a sma!! handbill was put out for a
nreeting of the Workingmen on the
same evening that Wheeler was to
speak. Shortly after the Anti-Constitution meeting was commenced a
racket and applause was started at
the Workingmen’s © stand, just
around the corner of Main street,
intended to disturb and attract’ the
crowd: A number of persons dssembled at the latter place, when
several profane and drunken fel<
lows, and a few “respectable agitatore’ organized a meeting and Gas.
ey Wickes effervesced awhile. The
affuir finally broke up in a row,
the President throwing a would-be
speaker from tlre stand. It was a
full-fledged sandlo, demonstration,
and the absence of officers whore

Phil. Byrne wes accompanying a
‘ couple of ladies home from a party
he observed an apparently intoxi¢a-‘ted man following them. The stranger had walke.l behind them a_ block
or more, when at. the suggestion of
the ladies the trio crossed the street
in order to avoid him. He crossed
also, ‘his -walk at this —junct
dencing the fact that he had been
feigning drunkeness. Mr, Byrne escorted the ladies to their home, and
as he left them noticed that the fellow
was near by. He stepped up to him
indaskéd what he meant by oggitg
pople so. A belligerent exclamation; -with-a-blow-at the Undet Sherifs heal, was the answer. The result was that he immediately meas-,

Byrne knocked hith Gown several
times as fast he got-wp. -Finally he
txok to his heels, and raw away. Mr.
Byrne’s fine dress coat was ruined: by
being torn during the melee, and one
