6 CARPENTER'S CONTEMPT. The Attorney Asks that Judge Catlin be Impeached. Charges Filed In the Assembly—The Judge Is Surprised but Says lie Is Ktcht. At last evening's session of the Assem bly, the Speaker informed the members that ho had received articles of impeach ment against a Judge of the Superior Court, and, by consent, referred the mut ter to the Judiciary Committee. • Little attention was paid to the matter at first, but it was not long before the Sacramento members learned to their surprise that the Judgo referred to was none other than Judge A. P. Catlin, of this city, presiding in Department One of tho Sacramento County Superior Court. The charges are very lengthy, but the Record-Union- secured the substance of them for its readers. WHAT TIIE CHARCIES ARE. The document recites that Amos H. Carpenter, an attorney of Stockton, Cal,, complains of A. P. Catlin. who i.s now, and bas been since January 5, 1891, Judge of the Superior Court of Sacramento "County. That on February 28, 1801, ho "willfully, maliciously, corruptly and fraudulently" found Carpenter and D. M. Vance guilty of contempt of court, fined each 9-00, and. in default of payment, sen tenced them to 10(1 days in the County Jail, when ho (the Judge) knew well that the men were innocent ofthe charges. That Catlin made use of his position of Judge corruptly for the purpose of wrong fully depriving Carpenter, under guise of the h_W t otitis liberty and estate. The complaint goes on to state that Carpenter was attorney for D. M. Vance, a defend ant in the case of Pennie et al. vs. Visher etal.,a suit to annul certain contracts made between Charles McLaughlin, Se bastian Visher and \Y. H. Lyon annulled, and to quiet title to lands affected by those agreements. The heirs of McLaughlin, immediately prior to the rendition of judgment in the case, purchased the rights of Visher and Lyon, defendants, whereupon, without trial on merits ofthe case, a decree of court was rendered can celling the contracts and quieting title to the land; that I). M. Vance was a party defendant, but his interest was not pur chased, and said decree was entered with out his consent, and in consequence of a firetended default secured by the Mc laughlin heirs while Vance had a motion for a change of venue pending before tho Superior Court. PERPETUAL INJUNCTION. That the court refused to set aside the default, refused a change of venue and rendered a perpetual injunction against A'ance without giving a chance to make a defense. That Vance appealed to the Supreme Court from the judgment, and alter his appeal was taken, on January 30, 18.11, affidavits were liled in the Superior Court, in which Vance and hia attorney, A. H. Carpenter, were charged with do ing certain acts alleged to be in violation of said Judgment. That a trial was had from the —''tli to the 28th of February, with the result of imprisonment as stated. The complaint points out the following par ticulars, among others, in which the judgment of contempt and findings of the Judge, Catlin, were willful and mali cious misstatements: L That Carpenter counseled Ij. M. Vance to violate the judgment of Pennie vs. Visher by interfering with a tenant of the McLaughlin heirs, occupying the contested land. The complaint claims that < atlin well knew this to be false and without evidence to sustain it. 2. That Carpenter aided and abetted Vance in interfering with the tenant of the McLaughlins—also claimed to be a false finding. JIORE ALLEGATIONS. That Catlin corruptly adjudged that Carpenter had fall knowledge of the in junction by which Vance was restrained when Catlin well knew it to be false. That Catlin adjudged that Carpenter wrote a letter to Vance advising him to lease section :V, to Kvans, because he would be a good man to defeat the plaint {____* title thereto, •Carpenter intending that Kvans should be used as a tool for that pui pose, such findings being false. That Catlin found that _____ acta (which were not in fact committed) were done in unlawful disobedience of the judgment In Pennie vs. Visher, he (Catlin) well knowing the finding to be false. The complaint recites similar malicious findings in the case of Vance, and con cludes: "That the findings of said court aro conclusive, and cannot be reviewed by aa appellate court, and, as they now stand, the complainant's honor and in tegrity as an attorney is brought in question and his right of property aud persona] liberty is taken away, under the guise of law, by a judgment which is wholly unwarranted by the facts and the evidence in the case, and there is no rem edy except an appeal to the Assembly." The complainant prays the Assembly to pass a resolution impeaching A. P. <'atlin forthe misdemeanors charged,and for such other; action as may seem just and equitable. thk judoe sunrnisED. Judge Catlin was completely taken by surprise, when a Rk.ouo-Union- re" porter called at his residence last evening ami Informed him ot" the fact tliat articles of impeachment had been filed in the Assembly against him. He remarked tli.it Carpenter and Vance ought rather to have considered themselves fortunate in escaping with so light a line. "1 thought of making the punishment heavier," said the Judge, "but finally de termined to make the amount of the fine $3*o, since there were two of them in volved in the atl'air. The title of the suit was Pennie et al. vs. Visher etal.,and was brought to annul certain contracts made between diaries McLaughlin, Se bastian Visher and W. 11. Lyon, and to quiet, title to the lands Involved in those contracts. I was not in oilice when the suit was commenced, but Judge Arm strong, my predecessor, was, and he ren dered a judgment in March, 1888, where by the defendants, including Vance, were FOREVER RESTRAINED AND ENJOINED From entering into or upon the lands in question, or from prosecuting or main taining any action whatever to recover the lands ofthe plaintiffs, or from enter ing into or upon the possession of the lands or any nut of them. They were also enjoined from leasing the lands to any person, or from disturbing the ten ants or the plaintitl's. An appeal was taken in April, and pending tliis appeal Vance and his attorney, Carpenter, con ducted themselves in a manner which 1 deemed was in contempt of the order ■ ! the court, lin the taking of testimony in the contempt case it was dearly shown that Carpenter and his client. Vance. commenced interfering with the tenants of the McLaughlin heirs in November and December, after Judge Armstrong bad rendered the judgment. Vance drove some sheep off the land occupied by Mr. Kvans, a tenant of the McLaugh lins, and a complaint was made against both him and his attorney. "I dealt with the case as it came before me and listened to the testimony of wit- Used in Millions of HomES-*- 4a Yeas the Standard SACRAMENTO DAILY RECORD-liyiOX, THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1891.—SIX PAGES. nesses examined. Tho argument con sumed an entire day. I gave a written opinion and delivered it last Saturday morning, ordering that they be fined _=__;H_> each, or in default be compelled to serve one day for each |2 of the fine until the same was paid. This man Evans is a tenant ot the McLaughlins, and they were trying to get him to disclaim tho other landlords and accept Vance. "Among other evidence showing that Carpenter, the attorney, was equally as guilty as Vance, let me show you these letters, in which he deliberately advises that the iujuction be disobeyed." TWO LETTERS. The first letter, which was written in January, 1801, was from Carpenter to Vance. It read as follows: V. _*/. Vance. Esq.: Mr. Kvans has just called to see me in rnard to renting section 88. He L* willing to take a leas.: from you or from whoever owns the laud, provided you will guarantee him against titrable with the Mc- Uiufrh'.ins. If you desire to rent the laud in Question, I can see no objection to Riving Mr. Kvans the.satisiuction he desires, lie will lie a good man to stund the McLaughlins off Yours truly, a. 11. Caki-entku. Another letter, written on January 2!th, by Carpenter to Mr. Fvans at Stockton was worded as follows: Dear Sir: I am very sorry that there was any __-.aqnder-t__n.ling between you and Mr. Vance In reference to that land. I think I can arrange it to your satisfaction yet, if you will kindly call and Bee me as soon as you can conveniently. We have always been friendly and I hope We can remain so. Yours very truly, .\. H. CA.-V___.TKl.. "When I sentenced the men last Satur day," continued Judge Catlin, "at Car penter's request, I withheld the commit ment until next Saturday. I don't know what will be done by the Legislature, but I can say that both of these men will have to pay their fines Saturday or I'll send them to jail." THE COSTLIEST OF METALS. Keasons "Wliy Platinum Is In Good Dc- mand nt *!?•_() an Ounce. "What do you suppose is the most ex pensive part of those incandescent elec tric lamps which we see burning in that show-window?" asked an electrician re cently. "You would naturally suppose it would be the glass bulb, or perhaps the brass lilting for screwing it into the socket, but you would lie wrong. Those two little pieces of platinum wire, so fine that you can hardly perceive them, which pass through the glass stem up in the base of the lamp, to which the line carbon fila ment is attached, enter more greatly into the cost than any other part of these now almost indispensable electric lamps." "Why don't they use some other metal than platinum for this.wire?" "Because platinum is the only metal in which the expansion and contraction are the same as in glass, and a great fortune awaits the man who can produce a cheap metal or alloy in which this valuable property of platinum can be preserved. You probably know that a vacuum must be maintained in these incandescent lamp bulbs, or the carbon filament would burn out and become destroyed the instant the electric current is turned on. Therefore the reason for using the platinum wire for running through the glass is because unequal expansion between the glass and wire would either crack the ghtss or create a space about the wire, and, even though infinitely minute, the air would find its way in and destroy the carbon. "The cost of platinum at the present market price in London is $20 per ounce, or about the same as gold, and the amount used for this purpose alone has grown to be enormous. This demand, together with the increased cost of pro duction, has caused the price to advance about KM) per cent, in eighteen months. In each lt'-eandle power lamp there are from four to eight grains of platinum. If six grains are taken as an average, one ounce will be used in eighty lamps. Based on the increased use of incandes cent lights within the last two years, it is safe to state that the demand for 10-eandle power lamps, or their equivalent, in the year lbl'l will be 10,000.000. This means a .demand for 125,000 ounces of platinum, which, at the present price, will amount to considerably over $2,000,000 for this item alone. "The history of platinum," continued the electrician, "is quite as interesting as its qualities are remarkable. During the sixteenth century it was found with gold in the Darien mines, but the Spanish Government, which controlled the mines, did not make known the discovery of tliis new white metal, as it was found to bo a good material with which to adulter ate gold. The deposits of platinum in the Ural Mountains, whence the supply is mostly drawn, were discovered in 1832, and have been worked in connection with gold mines by the Russian Govern ment since 1828. Owing to the large yield of gold, the platinum was for a long time sold cheaply, but, with the growing scarcity ol" gold, the cost of producing the other metal increased. "A well-known chemist says that with out platinum crucibles, which share the infusibility of porcelain with the chemi cal inertness of those of gold, the compo sition of most metals could not have been ascertained, and chemistry could not have come to its present level. Very few peo ple in this country are probably aware that pure platinum has ever been coined. It was coined by Russia, however, as late a* lsti-l. at which time it had been put into circulation to the value of over £2,000,000." — Washington. Post.

Chairman Greer of the Supervisors Says They "Will Bo Built—Dr. Xlcbols Talks. The Board of Supervisors is expected to transact some important business before the close of this week's session. A resolution is being prepared by Messrs. Greer and Black, to be presented to the board either to-day or to-morrow, calling for the appointment of a commit tee whose duty it will be to confer with City Physician C. B. Nichols and Sheriff Stanley regarding plans for a hospital, dispensary and female ward, which it is proposed to erect and add to the court house structure. Tliis matter has been talked of before, and was to have been introduced at the last session of the board, but through some oversight was neglected. A ORYINC. NECESSITY. "Yes, I think it will be attended to im mediately," said Chairman Greer to a Record-Uxiox reporter yesterday, "and I am confident that the board is unani mous in the opinion that the proposed addition is badly needed. In fact, it is a crying necessity. It should have been attended to long ago, but it has always been put off on ono pretext or another. Plans and specifications will be drawn up immediately, and the building will in all probability be erected this spring. "My idea," continued Mr. Greer, "is to tear down the old dispensary—that is if it doesn't fall down itself before we get at it —and erect the new building on what is now the jail yard, and where the prison dining-room and kitchen stands. This dining-room affair is in about the same condition as the dispensary structure ia now—ready to tumble in at any moment. The new building should be a two-story structure, with direct connection with the County Jail and also with the street. The second story should be fitted up with cells exclusively for fenialo prisoners, with the exception, perhaps, of a couple of cells for insane persons. The lower floor should be arranged for a receiving hospital Avith a separate ward for sick and injured prisoners, aud with the city dis pensary connected. It is an absolute necessity and we cannot afford to delay any longer. I don't think it will cost over $6,000 or 18,000 -it the most, and then the citizens will have a perfect institu tion." DR. NICHOLS TALKS. City Physician Nichols was enthusiastic over the proposition when visited by the reporter. "I have howled and begged for this improvement until I am worn out," he said. "Is it needed? Why, bless you, I can't think of anything Sacramento needs more than it just now, unless it is salvation. But all joking aside, this should have been done long ago. Better later than never, however. The Grand Jury recommended it long ago, but some how or other it was never done. You see it is very important that the public med ical business should be concentrated, to say nothing of the changes and improve ments needed at tho County Jail. At present 1 have to attend to the indigent sick and dispense medicines to them in this little tumble-down shanty on the east side of tho court-house, and it is so rickety now that it is liable to cave in at any moment. The floor sag,:, and is full of holes, and the roof lets in the rain. I have to keep all my drugs in the same room that I consult my patients. "Now, remember, this building is at Seventh and I streets. At any moment I am liable to receive a message that some body has been injured and my services are needed at tbe Receiving Hospital, which, you know, is down at the Police Station. That person might die before I could get down there, whereas, if the hospital and dispensary were all in one, as is proposed, I could be right there, and no time would bo lost. But these are not the only reasons why the improvement is needed, by any means. Prisoners at the County Jail ARE CONTIXUAI/LY GETTING STCK, And where are you going to put them? No place; except to keep them in their dark and unhealthy cells. There should be a separate apartment in the new build ing for these persons. Why, do you know, I have a patient in llie jail now, who i.s suifering with a broken leg. and for lack of any better place to keep him, he lies in liis dungeon. I even had to send outside to get a bed for him. It is a disgrace to the county, and I am glad, if even for only humanity's sake, that a change is to be made. "But I would not suggest that tho Re ceiving Hospital and jail hospital be con nected. Many people meet with acci dents on the streets, and are carried to the Receiving Hospital, who feel much em barrassed, as do their friends, too, U> think that that they have been thrown in with a lot of thieves and other criminals. As it is now the hospital is in the police station and the odium is all the more em barrassing. Another thing: The County Jail is absolutely without accommoda tions for female prisoners and insane per sons. They are all thrown into one common jail. The most respectable per son in the world might lose bis reason, and, if he is taken in hand by the author ities, under the present arrangements, he is cast into a cell with a lot of hobos and larcenistH, like a common criminal. It is not the fault of the jail officials—they have no better accommodations to oli'er. "There should be separate apartments for the female prisoners and insane persons." ♦ ,—. Narrow Escape. A man named Morse was pulling a boat in the water back of the town of Washington yesterday, when the current from the break struck the little craft and swept it towards a bridge over which the county road runs. Morse's wife and child were in the boat, aud when it struck the bridge H went to pieces. Morse res cued his family, however. _».

TN THE SPRING OF LAST YEAR -*- Robert A. and Neal D. Barker associated themselves with William McKay, all of Oak land, with a view of searching out a suitable location in which to engage in the profitable occupation of fruit-growing. After visiting many localities, they decided on the Capay Valley, Y'olo County, and the Rhodes tract at Tancred. Negotiations were opened with the Capay Valley Land Company, owning the tract in question. With W. H. Mills, the General Agent of that company, they arranged for the purchase of about 2.i0 acres of foothill land. This being more than they had thought of taking for their own use, they spoke to a number of friends about it, with the result that the tract was divided among the follow ing people: li. L. Hickok, 40 acres; W. T. Harnett, _0 acres; N. T. Greathead, 20 acres; Mrs. L. Greathead, 20 acres; W. McKay, 20 acres; N. D. Barker, 20 acres; R. A. Barker, 20 acres; J. P. Brownlee, 20 .teres; E. H. Has lett, 10 acres; Joseph Barker, 10 acres; A. W. Kelly, 10 acres, and Frederick Keily, 10 acres. So far this had been merely a private ven ture of the gentlemen above named, but in talking up tho question of dividing the Jaud already purchased, it was found that so many more would like to join it than the area of the purchase would admit or, that it was suggested on all hands, "Why not get some more land and divide it up in the same way?" Then followed the idea of a stock company to take hold of a larger tract and arrange for the cultivation of the wholo of it, after subdividing it according to the re quirements of the subscribers. A provisional board was formed, a prospectus issued, and finally, on the 6th of Juue, IS9O, the West ern Co-operative Colonization and Improve ment Company was duly registered and pro ceeded to business, with the following officers: President, William McKay; Vice-President, M.

The balance of the tract, 373 acres, was pur chased. A contract was entered into for the purchase of a large number of fruit trees, vines, etc. This early purchase of trees was the means of saving between 83,000 and $4,000 to the company, the prices lv some cases having more than doubled since then. The Ideas which the prospectus set forth have been but slightly modified and the progress of the company has been uninter rupted. Those who went into it doubtingly have become enthusiastic, and almost all the members arranged to set out all their land in fruit trees, etc., the first year. Consequently in this, the lirstseason, some 40,000 trees and between 20,000 and 30,000 vines will be planted. The satisfactory working of this scheme has had the efrect of attracting considerable atten iion to the work of the Colony Company, and a number of people are now desirous of join ing in with them. An additional 200 acres have been added to the sixty acres originally purchased. For the company is predicted a very bright future, as well as for the beautiful valley in which their operations are conducted. How this marvelous little garden has come to be so long neglected Is a puzzle to every one who has visited it, but one thing is very sure, and that Is that this neglect will never again be felt in the valley. The fruits set out are mostly of the standard varieties—peaches, apricots, Bartlett pears, prunes, figs, raisin grapes, etc., while along both sides of the avenues, throughout the tract, walnuts will throw their graceful shade. A considerable number of citrus trees are also being set out; quite a sufficient number to demonstrate that these fruits can be success fully grown in the valley, about which the colonists appear to have no doubt, provided proper care is given to the young trees. Neal D. Barker, General Manager of the company, resides on the tract, and to his care Is to be as cribed much or the success or the venture. Mention should be made of the town-site, about which there Is a pleasant innovation which might with profit be followed by more ambitious places. A small park of some three acres has been laid out right In the center ot the town. This park It is proposed to beautify by planting in It from time to time as many of the beauties and curiosities of tree and shrub life as may be obtained by diligent search and a wiso expenditure of money. It Is not expected that Tancred will ever be a large and busy city, but it i.s thought that it can be made a very pleasant little place to dwell in. A petition has been circulated recently and very largely signed, asking the county to ac cept Island avenue, on the colony tract, as a county road, and to build a bridge across Cache Creek at this point, in order to give the settlers on the east side of the creek access to Tancred Station. The Tancred colonists are quite willing to give the necessary right of way, aud are very desirous ol having a bridge there, as the colony lands extend along both sides of the stream. It is thought that it would be a very wise expenditure of public monej- to grant them this very necessary Im provement, as the operations of such com panies are of widespread benefit to the wholo county and State. The attractions and comf orts of the cities are well known, but to those who are willing to settle on the land ana show that the country also affords attractions and comforts and ways of making money pleas antly, every inducement should be held forth. The following is a list of the principal mem bers of the Tancred Colony, with the number or acres owned by each, and a fact worthy ot mention is that In each contract or deed Is sued by the Colony Company there is a pro vision that no intoxicating liquor shall ever be manufactured or sold on the land. The apparent success of the enterprise shows that the Ideas and plans of the col ony, as set forth in the prospectus some time ago, are not impracticable: C. T. Hull, Berkeley, 5 acres; W. P.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re cently purchased twelve thousand acres ol land iv the heart of Tehama County, for the purpose or promoting subdivision and settle ment. This land ernbruces lands irom first class Sacramento Valley agrieultui-.il land, to land or fair average quality, and Is ottered ut from $10 to $20 per acre, in subdivisions oi 40, SO, 120, 160 and32o acres. The terms upon which these landsareotTered are especially attractive. They will be sold In subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay ment of interest only for three years, at wliieh time the purchaser can begin the payment of principal by paying the tirst of live equal an nual installments. Thus no part of the prin cipal is to be paid for three years, and then the purchaser is to have five years In which to pay five equal annual installments, with interest at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum, making payments extending over a period of eight, years. Intending purchasers are as- Bored that this is an opportunity to purchase land of fair average quality at $10 per acre, and good agricultural land ut $20 an acre, with other grades or land at prices to corre spond between these figures. The assertion Is frequently made that good lands, suitable for general running, and es pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be laid In California for less than from $.i 0 to $100 an acre. An examination or the land subject or this advertisement will prove to home-seekers thut this is an opportunity for the purchase of good agricultural land at $20 an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair agricultural land at $10 an acre, on terms of payment which should make the disposi tion of these lunds to actual settlers a result easy of accomplishment. The primary object of the purchase of this body of land was the breaking up of a large holding for the purpose or promoting Its settle ment In smaller quantities und its devotion to diligent husbandry.
