Willlam Johnston, an old miner from Siskiyou County, living in Oakland, was standing in front of the Grand Hotel yes- terday afternoon, when a bunko steerer | introduced himself and, after getting into a pleasant conversation about mining, told | Johnston .that a friend of his, a doctor, had a lot of gold dust from Cape Nome | that would do his heart good to see. John- ston accompanied the “‘steerer” to O'Far- rell street and the steerer excused himself for a moment. He returned and told | Johnston that the “doctor” was not in, | but if Johnston would join him in a glass | of beer he would be pleased. They crossed the street and went Into the Olympla sa- | loon, 113 O'Farrell street. The steerer was jotned b{ a confederate and they began to throw dice for money. Johnston was In- | vited to join In the game, but declined. | “I don't believe you have $100 to put up, anyhow,” remarked the steerer, and John- | ston gro'flptlwlulled out his pocket-book | and showed in greenbacks.

Bulls and bears of the wheat pit turned loose a time at the Produce Exchange yesterday morning of such warmth that ad it been in a grain elevator the Fire Department would either have been called out or a panic resulted from threatened losses. The cereal speculators determined to usher out the last day of the old year to aifitting tune, and the tune was fit- ting. At the call of the secretary and the fall of the gavel some one let joose a bunch of rockets and they writhed and twisted over the floor In pursuit of the older members, but desire to escape lent wings to all, and even a telegraph win- dow was utllized as a way of escape. Sacks of flour burst and threw their Snowy contents over the hustling brokers and out in the street horses plunged and men dodged the stinging points of fod- der corn. Messrs, Bunker, Rosenberg and Friedlander came in for the brunt of the attack. In fifteen minutes the last rocket had expended its force on the slack of some one's trousers, empty sacks were piled and chairs and overturned tables were strewn in wild disorder over the floor. Finally the members gathered again at headquarters and with wishes for a hngpy New Year ended their an- Jinks nual and quoted the familiar phrase, “A little nonsense now and then 1s relished by the best of men.” ——————— DRANK TO THEIR CHIEF.
