You Hear That!’ YUBA DAM 1863. from Nevada Daily Transctipt “In the northern part of California is a stream called Yuba River. Across it some enterprizing individual built a bridge; and on the bank somebody else built three or four houses. The inhabitantscalled the place Yuba Dam. Three bars were instantly erected, andthe ‘town’ increased rapidly. About noon one day a traveler anda sejourner in the land passed this flourishing locality, and seeing a long-legged specimen of humanity in a red shirt smoking before one of the bars, thus addressed him: “Hello! “ “Hello! “ replied the shirt, with vigor, removing his pipe from his mouth. “What place is this?" demanded the traveler, whose name was Thompson, The answer of the shirt was unexpected: “Yuba Dam, “ There was about fifty. yards between them and the wind was blowing. Mr. Thompson thought he might have been mistaken. “What did you say?” he asked “Yuba Dam, " replied the shirt, in a slightly elevated tone of voice, “Lookee here!" yelled the irate Thompson; “I asked you politely what place this was; why in thunder don't you answer? " The stranger became excited. He rose and replied, with a voice of an 80-pounder, “YU-BA DAM! You hear that?” In a minute, Thompson burning with the wrath of the righteous, jumped off his horse, and advanced on the stranger with an expression not to be mistaken. The shirt arose and assumed a posture of offense and defense. Arrived within a yard of him, Thompson said, “I ask you for the last time. What place is this?” Putting his hands to his mouth his opponent roared, “YU-BA DAM!" The next minute they were at it, First, Thompson was down; then the shirt; and then it was a dog -fall-that is, both were down. They rolled about kicking up a tremendous dust. They squirmed around so energetically that you'd have thought they had a dozen legs instead of four. It looked like a prize-fight between two pugilistic centipedes. Finally they both rolled off the bank and into the river. The water cooled them. They went down together, but come up separate, and put out forthe shore. Both reached at about the same time, and Thompson scrambled up the bank, mounted his war-like steed, and made tracks, leaving his foe gouging the mud out of his eyes. Having left the business portion of the town, that is to say, the corner where the three bars were kept, he struck a house in the suburbs, before which a little girl of about four years of age was playing. “What place is this, Sissy?" he asked, The little girl, firghtened at the drowned-rat figure which the stranger cut, streaked it for the house, Having reached the door she stopped, turned and squealed, “Oo-bee Dam!" “Good Heavens!" said Thompson, digging his heels between his horse's ribs--"“Good Heavens! let me get out of this horrid place where not only the men but the very babes and sucklings swear at inoffensive travelers! “ ---Harper's Magazine, Cattle Thieves Topic At Auburn The Tahoe Cattlemen's Association will hold its spring membership meeting on March 18th, at the Mt.
