FRIDAY..... ..MARCH 3, 1899 LOCAL SPORTSMEN ORGANIZ The Nevada City Gun Clad Was Formed Last Night. The Nevada City Gun Club was organized last evening at an enthusiastic " meeting of some of the leading sportsmen of the county seat, and the following officers were elected: Frank S. Morgan, President; A. B, Wolf, Secretary; E. W. Schmidt, Treasurer. The membership is to be limited to fifteen, and almost that number of names are already on the roll. The Club have sent to San Francisco for traps and bluerocks and the first shoot will be held a week from~next Sunday if the weather is favorable then. An effort will be made to secure the old Rifle Grounds near the Half Mile House property, used as a range for so many years by Company C,N.G.C, and it is thought there will be no difficulty in makipg the necessary arrangements, There are a number of skilled marksmen in the new Club, and as soon as they get inte thorough working trim they will endeavor to arrange a series of match trap-shoots with the gentlemen of the Grass Valley Sportsmen’s Club. How to be Rich in 1000 Years. Much amusement has been caused in Birmingham by the arrival of a check for £10 at the Lord Mayor’s office under the following circumstances: A few weeks ago it was desited to acquire land upon which _to—extend the Council House. The site could not be got freehold, but a 999 years’ leage was given. To this Alderman Manton ob. jected, and pleaded that at the end of the lease the buildings would revert to the ground landlord, and £5,000,000 in ground rent would have been spent in vain. Mr. Alexander Chance accordingly sent a £10 check to the Lord Mayor, to be invested for 999 years at -2'5 per cent. At the end of the period this would yield £58,899,000,000, or an income yearly of £200,000,000. ‘This sum, Mr. Chance waggishly suggested, would recoup Birmingham for the sum expended on ground rent. When interviewed, Mr. Chance said he was quite serious. ‘When the time comes,” he said, “there will be no rates to pay, and every citizen will live ina suburban villa provided and lighted by the municipality.” i a a ge The late Prince Bismarck’s barber is said to be well on the way to making his fortune, for he has saved no less than eight years’ clippings from his master’s hair. ‘These he is now dividing into small quantities and creasing them in gold brooches, scarfpins and lockets, allowing three hairs to each ornament, aud selling them to the public. The barber states that he had the late Prince’s permission to do this. ae «4 ome + bias “Don’t you hate to have a man tell you the same story twice?” “Yes; especially if it is one that I told him.” 1.

Elisha Pesnrose of North Bloomfield was kicked by a fractious horse at Cherokee this morning. The animal’s hoof struck him a terrific blow iu the breast. He managed to stagger from the stable to the-hotel, a distance of a hundred yards er less, and then collapsed. ‘ A telephone message was sent to North Bloomfield for Mrs. Penrose and Dr. du. Milieu and they hastened to him. : Mr. Penrose has. been hauling lumber from the Snow Tent sawmill to'a mine near Cherokee, East Indian Editors. ‘The Hindoo editor is an artless creature, fond of confidential relations with his readers and addicted to bulls He will say in writing of a political crisis, “All the crowned heads are shaking in their shoes.”’ Whenever the editor feels . the need of a holiday he shuts up shop and leaves his readers uninformed until his health is recuperated. Here is ‘an announcement from the editoral page of a Hindoo newspaper, “\We were not fill up and, thinking we had enough, we didn’t trouble ourselves to get any THB BNTEPRISE SOLD.

A war social with a war program and a war supper will be given at Downieville by the Epworth League Friday evening, the 24th iustant. : George M. York and Will R. Sharkey have sold the Downieville Enterprise to the Downieville Messenger: They say: “Next -week will witness our retirement from the newspaper field. Our reasons for the same are best known to ourselves, but. suffice it to say that during the brief time we have been at the helm of the Enterprise our fullest expectations bave been realized. All advertising contracts entered. into by us, and which-have not. yet. expired, will be carried out by the Messenger. Our subseribers who have paid us in advance, as well as those who have not, will be turned over to the Messenger and will receive their paper regularly. 31 ANl bill due the Enterprise from Nov. 9, 1898, to March 8, 1899, are p#yable to.us.”A most shocking accident occurred at Forest City last Saturday morning about 9:30 o’clock, in which Frederick Kuhfield lost his life. The deceased, with his partnera young man named + McGregor, were workiug. in a gravel mine when a cave occurred which completely buried Mr. Kuhfie!d, and came very near burying ‘both men. Mr. McGregor, however, managed to escape with only a few scratches,and gave the alarm. A force of men were quickly on the scene and the effort. to rescue the buried man was begun in earnest and—prosecuted—with_all_possible dispatch, and after about two hours was completed but not until life had become extinct. Mr. Kuhfield was born at Mecklinburg, Germany, February 28th, 1832, und immigrated to Illinois when a very young man. In 1858.he came to California and to Sierra county, his train being the next through after the Mouutain Meadow massacre. He first settled at Minnesota where he was married in 1865. Five children were born to them, one son and four daughters. Mrs, Kuhfield. died suddenly of heart disease about five years ago. All their children, except one daughter, still reside in this county. Mr. Kuhfield wasa man of exemplary character and sterling worth, a man among men, and his sudden taking off has thrown a pall of sadness not only over his own family, but over the entire community, as was abundantly shown by the large attendance at the funeral which took place from the M. E. church at 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon. The query as to when the twentieth century begins is still the “fifteen puzzle” of the times. The boy who chased the squirrel around the tree, while the squirrel chased the boy, had no such difficulty in learning whether or not he had circumvented the squirrel. It is safe to say, however, that when we have seen the year 1900 we sure how much matter was required to4 begin on the twentieth century.—Bodie Miner-Index. a — + eee more.
