BILL REILLY BUNCOEDgjinrs i n v r rr tI. BY HIS FRIENDSme1 W. H. ReiIJjf, the newly selected 3- warden of Folsom prison, was the vic-e tfui of a well-planned ruse, instigated i- by Sheriff MeMartin and executed by e Landlord Fred llartuian of the Ana-3- oapa, which terminated bappily for k all concerned.a In reality it was a surprise party in o honor of our pioneer towusmau, but to Ulli the affair at the outset partook of a more serious nature. His long*n time running mate, Sheriff MeMartin,h kidnaped his former Under Sherilf I- ^ yesterday afternoon and spirited him s I away to Oxuard. About 7 o’clock p. s m. the pair drove up to the Auacapa, when “Fritz,” apparently laboring-under intense excitement, told Keilly s that trouble was brewing al the rear of Nl g | the hotel—that a crazy man was iuti- SI midatiug the kiteheu help. Bill rushed to the rear of the hotel with ca* his right haud suspiciously near his m0 hip pocket. Geo. Hartman led the Wj( , way through the kitchen and into the j av dining room, where he was confronted Sa by a large delegation of close friends, who were seated at the banquet board, generously burdened with good things f for the “stomach’s ache.” The sur-- prise was complete, and the guest of . bouor admitted that he had been ? “beaten” in the cauip of bis frionds, and that he was glad of it.1 } Our popular citizen was further sur- re prised by the presentation of a beautl- 8p* ful Klk’s badge, set with a large dia- 8j* momi. Mt. Keilly expressed his Oj* apprec,ation of the great honor cou- an 1 ferred. It was in all respects a mostcongenial gathering, hugely enjoyed. J I —Ventura Democrat.dSO
