	BEATEN BY A BURGLAR
The Evil Resulting from Having Too Much Pluck
SAN FRANCISCO, August 6 - Charles SOMMERS was attacked in his room early this 
morning by a burglar and received blows on the head from a slungshot which were 
of sufficient violence to lay bare his skull. Sommers yelled for the police and 
held the burglar until he fainted from loss of blood. He was very severely 
beaten. When the police arrived they found it necessary to remove him to the 
Receiving Hospital.

	A FAIR POSTPONED
The Grass Valley Institution Postponed Until September
GRASS VALLEY (Cal.), August 6 - The fair for the Seventeenth Agricultural 
District will to-night be postponed from the 19th of this month until September 
23d.
  The postponement is because of the backwardness of fruit crops this year, 
which would prevent a proper display in August. 
  Race entries will be held open until the 15th of September.

 A Man’s Head Run Over By a Truck In Portland
 SALEM (Or.), August 6 - Charles SMITH, aged 40, fell from a truck-load of

	Boys In Trouble
THEIR FATHERS ROBBED AT PACIFIC GROVE
The Way of the Transgressor Is Hard, and the Boys Are In the Toils.
   Several days ago, Chief of Police DREW received a letter from the constable 
at Pacific Grove, Monterey county, invoking his aid to arrest two youths, named 
respectively Fred RAY and Melvin NORTON, the sons of merchants of that place.
  The constable gave a description of the boys and wrote that they had run away 
from home and that before leaving they had visited their father’s store and 
carried away a quantity of merchandise.
  Officer SIMMONS this morning arrested Ray, and this afternoon he brought in 
his partner, Norton.
  The boys each carried a gold watch and chain, and besides, had on their 
persons $107.50 in coin.
  Of this amount, $80 in gold was hid in Ray’s necktie. Before their arrest the 
boys disposed of some cutlery, watch chains and a couple boxes of cigars.
  This property is a portion of that the boys stole from their fathers’ stores.
  To Officer Simmons the youths denied that they lived at Pacific Grove, and 
claimed that they were from San Francisco.
  The stolen property they sold, they said they bought.
  To a Bee reporter, however, Norton acknowledged his guilt and said that 
nothing could be done to Ray, as he knew that he was going away and also knew 
that he had money.
  The Pacific Grove constable will arrive here to-morrow and return with the 
boys.

	A Colorado Feud
THREE MEN KILLED IN A SHOTGUN CONTEST
One of the Pleasures of Life in a Wild and Woolly Western Town
GLENWOOD SPRINGS (Col.), August 6 - A special to the Times says that Thos. 
WELCH and Alexander LAVELLE have for some time disputed over the ownership or 
certain lands in the northwestern part of Gunnison county on Muddy Creek.
  Yesterday Lavelle and five helpers went to cutting hay and, expecting 
trouble, they were all armed.
  Welch and his son, with three others, soon came up and opened fire, which was 
immediately returned, the parties exchanging about one hundred shots.
  Welsh’s son and Alex. Lavelle were killed outright.
  Chas. PURHAM was shot three times and will die.
  Pete SMALL received two bullets, but it is thought he will live.
  H.D. JONES, Charles MAHONE, E. HARVEST, Charles Purham and Pete Small 
constituted Lavelle’s party.
