THIRTY YEARS AGO.
TWO EEPTTTABLE CITIZEKB ACCUSED
OF HOESE-STEALING.
A Golrl Excitement on the River Front—
The Old-Time Yolo Park
Race-Course.
As an instance of the loose manner in
which Grand Juries sometimes fulfill their
duties—and as illustrating one of the evils
of the system—one Chadwick had a quar
rel with ex-Senator George W. Colby and
Enos Sargent, over a horse trade, and he se
cured indictments sgainst them for grand
larceny. They were heralded abroad as
horse-thieves, but when the Court came to
inquire into the matter there was not a par
ticle of proof against them. The Grand
Jury had heard but one side of the story,
and allowed themselves to be duped by an
irresponsible person. The public were
quite indignant over the outrage to Messrs.
Colby and Sargent, as their reputations had
been injured without cauae.
Similar abuses are committed to this day
by Grand Juries, and many a good man
has had his reputation destroyed by the
hasty action of these bodies. An indict
ment by a Grand Jury is regarded gener
ally as almost equivalent to a verdict of
guilty, as the impression exists that charges
made before such bodies are thoroughly in
vestigated. But usually they are not. It
may be in the power of Grand Juries to
correct this evil, but they rarely do.
Frederick Williams, of Franklin,
was one of that class of men who was al
ways ready for a trade of some sort. One
day he met a German acquaintance who
was riding a horse that rather took his
fancy, and be bantered him for a trade.
The German took him up, and they
swapped nags, Williams paying $57 in cash
beside. He concluded to come to the city
and "show off' on his new charger, but
had no sooner got here than the horse was
claimed by its real owner, a Yolo county
man, from whom it had been stolen. Will
iams was thus, for a time, cured of the
horse-swappins disease.
The Hussars of this city elected
officers as follows : Captain, L. Steudeman;
First Lieutenant, F. Ebner; Second Lieu
tenant, Charles Heinrich; Second Brevet-
Lieutenant, M. Arenz; First Sergeant, J.
Gregory: Second Sergeant, A. Neubauer;
Third Sergeant, A. Heilbron, Fourth Ser
geant, H. Thielbar; First Corporal, John
Batcher; Second Corporal, J. Meister; Third
Corporal, F. Haug; Fourth Corporal, C.
Schindler; Treasurer, F. C. Wagenblast.
Some of these old-timers are yet with vs—
Sergeant Heilbron, Corporal Ba'cher, Lieu
enant Arenz and others.
Early in the month of August,
1860, a most brutal murder was committed
in Berryessa valley. Tom Lofton, a des
perate character, who had already killed
two men—one in Mississippi and another
at Knight's Landing—shot down a young
man with whom he had had a few words
about hauliug wood from a certain piece of
land. He bad two comrades along who
prevented a friend of the victim from even
covering the body to protect it from the
sun's rays, threatening to kill him, too.
The murderer and his companions escaped.
People do not get such crops of
grain oil their lands now as they did thirty
years ago. Andrew Wolf, a San Joaquin
farmer, harvested in 1860 no les3 than
8,000 bushels of wheat ©n 160 acres of land,
and on the old McNeill farm, adjoining
Oak Kuoll, in Napa county, 00 bushels of
oats to the acre was the yield of the third
successive volunteer crop. Not only that,
but the oats was thrashed out by running
a band of horses over the grain in a corral.
Where the overllowing waters, and
tule jungles, and willow forests, and glisten
ing sands now decorate the country lying
just west of tbe village of Washington, op
posite this city, was thirty years ago the
splendid Yolo Grove Racecourse, where
racing meetings were held every spring and
summer. The land was level, and the soil
well suited for ihe purpose. The track was
a fast one, and many an exciting meeting
was held there in the early days.
One Professor Clark gave a prome
nade concert at Agricultural Hall one
night, and as security for the rent he de
posited his watch aud chain with President
Granger of the Board of Supervisors. The
concert was a failure and the rent wasn't
paid. So one day when the Board was in
session the watch was presented to Clerk
Hastings on condition that he make a
speech. Hasti. gs made the speech, such
as it was, and g >t the watch.
John Rooney was a strong Douglas
man in those days. He bet $500 with
Frank Powell (Breckeniidge) that Douglas
would carry California, and $100 that he
would carry one or more Southern States.
Rooney also bet $300 with W. R. White
side. After the Douglas campaign the
Brighton man became a Republican, bnt
later drifted back into the Democratic
party, where he feels more at home.
..." Quite a gold excitement broke out
in this city, one day, caused by a little boy
named James Ireland finding $:' worth of
the precious metal at the water's edge on
the river between L and M streets. In •
few hours hundreds of old miners were
out with pans prospecting along the river
bank. All found a little gold, but the ex
citement died out in one day.
The volunteer firemen were a loyal
and I'nion-loving body in those days when
the monster of disunion and rebellion
was beginning to raise its hydra-head.
They gave proof of thi9 by complimenting
the Union with a serenade and hearty
cheers on the night of their annual elec
tion—at least that was the way the editors
of the paper regarded it at the time.
On the (>th of August George H.
Brick man was elected Chief Engineer of
the Fire Department, Alexander Badiani
First Assistant and D. McLaughlin Second
Assistant. The election was a very lively
one —something like the recent Democratic
primary—and was characterized by fre
quent tights and bleeding noses.
,'D. O. Mills, P. J. Devine and C. I.
Hutchinson composed the committee of
State Agricultural Board charged with the
dut> of having stalls erected for the State
Fair. Of these gentlemen Mills alone has
withstood the wear and tear of these thirty
years, and he looks as if be might stand
thirty more.
Ex Lieutenant-Governor R. M. An
derson of this State was shot at Genoa by
one Henry Lufkins during a quarrel grow
ing out of a local election. Marshal Black
burn stood by and allowed Lufkins to go
and arm himself and then return and shoot
Anderson.
The only ice then used in this city
came from Sitka and was supplied by the
American Russian Commercial Company,
of which Phil Caduc was the local agent.
Coal-oil springs were said to exist
•bout six miles from Clear Lake. What
has become of them', and have they ever
been prosnec'ed?
El Dorado county in those days
cast nearly 6,000 votes, and a few years
• arlier tbe vote of the county was much
heavier. '
WATER AND TRUTH.
An Industrious Chinaman Tells What
Eight Acres Will Do.
The Colusa 8m stales that a census agent '<
employed on a Sacramento river district
went to a Chinese garden where water
was pumped from the river on eight acres
of land. Tbe agent showed the boss tbat
he was working for I'ncle Sam and must
have tbe exact truth on a pain of some such
severe penally as the confiscation of his
fjueue. In response he said that he culti
vated eight acres; that his books showed
sales of vegetables to tbe amount of $7,000,
and that many small cash sales did not go
down; that the whole had probably reached
$s,OOO. He pumped the water on his land
with two horses. Said that with plenty of
water he eooM make his sales reach $10,
--000.
••We may well conclude," adds the Sun,
"that vegetables, cow feed, etc, can be
grown on two acres to feed a family of
seven persons. If, therefore, a man has
ten acres, he could plant eight to fruit and
use two for vegetables, etc.. and a comforta
ble living could be made. A family of
seven can do all tbe work on such a tract.
This can be done without bringing the land
near up to the productiveness ol the Chi
nese garden. But to do this we must have
water—cheap water. On tbe other hand,
we know of land held at $70 to $80 an acre
th« has not paid the owners 3 per cent, in
terest on $50 an acre. Tbe difference is in
having and not having water."
TUESDAY'S CONCERT.
An Open-Air Musical Feast of Unusual
Excellence.
The double-band open-air concert to be
civen in Capitol Park on Tuesday eveniDg,
by way of compliment to the delegates of
the Republican State Convention, is ex
pected to be the grandest event of the kind
ever witnessed in the State. Both the
First Artillery and Hussar Bands have
been engaged for the occasion, and the
leaders of each are engaged in preparing
special programmes. ,
Chairman Martine of the Open-air Con
cert General Committee states that the
concert will embrace many new and at
tractive features. He desires that the sev
eral sub-committees will get together and
attend to all matters coming within their
respective jurisdictions.
It is understood that the Artillery Band
will repeat its "T . to Coney Island."'
with pyrottchc;. . n.oellishinents, which
will certainly please the great throng of
people that will be present.
READY FOR THE HOSTS.
Kverything In Shape For the Republican
(state Convention.
A final meeting was held at the Capital
Hotel last evening by the committee hav
ing in hand tbe matter of arranging for the
business of tbe Republican State Conven
tion. All the necessary preparations were
completed, and the delegates have only to
come here, take their seats in the Conven

been set apart for the use of the State Cen
tral Committee as its behdquarters, and it
will be opened to-day as such.
Delegates are requested to call at the

The Committee on Ratification Meeting
was instructed to extend invitations, at tbe
earliest moment, to all candidates for Gov
ernor, and to other prominent Republicans,
to speak at the ratification meeting to be
held at the close of the Convention.
It was decided to hold this meeting on
Fourth street, between J and K. Commit
teemen Wilson and Coleman were charged
with the respective duties of arranging a
speaker's stand and preparing a pyrotech
nic display for the occasion. Several elec
tric arc lights will be employed to light up
the block, instead of the old-style bonfires.
The sum of $60 was appropriated for
rockets.
Secretary Steppacber of the State Central
Committee exhibited a sample of the
badges which he had printed "by the com
mittee's authority.
The committee adjourned to meet at the
call of the Chair, but it is understood that
no meeting will be called until after the
Convention adjourns, when all bills will
be paid.
JOSEPHS IN MORE TROUBLE.
He is Arrested this Time for Assault
With a Deadly Weapon.
Joseph Josephs, the Second-street saloon
keeper, who recently pleaded guilty and
was fined in the Police Court, for striking
a man with beer-glass, was arrested again
last evening on complaint of William
Childs, on a charge of assault with a deadly
weapon. Childs states that he asked Jo
sephs for some money which he owed him,
when Josephs flew Into a passion, and
seizing a club, struck him over the head
with it.
Josephs, however, tells a rather different
story. He says that Childs has been work
ing "for him, but was recently discharged.
Last evening, he came into Josephs' saloon,
and after calling him vile names struck
him in the face. Josephs says they then
clinched and finally fell. In falling Childs'
head struck the counter. He denies that
he used a club.

THJE SITE DAY UNION SACRAMENTO, CAL., AUGUST 10, 1890.
POLICEMAN STAFFORD.
THE CHABGES PEEFEEEED BY GEOVI
L. JOHNSON SUSTAINED.
A Lengthy and Complete Investigation-
Punishment Will be Inflicted
Monday Morning,
The regular Police Court calendar was
speedily disposed of by Judge Buckley yes
terday forenoon in order that the investi
gation by the Police Commission of the
charges preferred against officer Robert
Stafford by Grove L. Johnson might be
resumed.
There was a large crowd present. Mr.
Johnson, accompanied by his son, Hiram
W., aud his attorney, Charles I. Jones, sat
near City Attorney Hart, while officer
Stafford, with his lawyer, General A. L.
Hart, sat close by.
All the members of tbe Commission—
Mayor Comstock, Chief of Police Drew and
Police Judge Buckley—were present, and
little time was lost in getting down to
business.
Tbe prosecution, not having concluded
its side of the case Friday night, resumed,
by calling P. E. Piatt to tbe witness stand.
Mr. Piatt testified that he was at Ninth and
I streets during tbe late Republican pri
mary election, and saw Mr. Johnson there.
He was also a witness to Mr. Johnson's ar
rest. He was sure that Mr. Johnson had
been conducting himself in a quiet, gentle
manly way, and had done nothing tp war
rant his arrest. Mr. Piatt said that several
persons who claimed to be peace officers
were making more trouble about the polls
than anyone else. He thought there was a
general disposition among some of the
crowd that day to have Mr. Johnson ar
rested.
Jud C. Brusie, Supervisor Tebbets, Hiram
Cook and A. Meister all testified that they
were at tbe polls and observed nothing un
usual in Mr. Johnson's demeanor.
Eli Froom, on account of whose attempt
to vote the row that day was occasioned,
told how he went up to vote and was
challenged by " Limber" Green. Immedi
ately the crowd began to surge and witness
was squeezed bodly. He kept as near to
the polls as he could though, as he said he
suspected that "the gang" was trying to
prevent him from voting. It was during
this crush that Mr. Johnson was arrested
by officer Stafford.
Lawyer Jay Brown testified that he, too,
noticed Mr. Johnson and was positive that
the latter was doing his challenging in a,
quiet and peaceable way. Witness saw
Froom go up to vote, and also saw special
officer Goods deliberately push him out of
the line. Witness remonstrated with
Goods when Chief of Police Drew stepped
between them and warned witness to keep
quiet.
J. Charles Jones, Clerk of the Police
Court, testified to the Court records showing
that no complaint had been filed against
Mr. Johnson until a couple of days ago,
the original case having been dismissed for
want of complaint.
This ended the case for the prosecution,
and a lecess was taken until 2 p. m.
It was agreed by both sides that the
charge of disturbing the peace pending
against Mr. Johnsou should be submitted
to Judge Buckley on the testimony ad
duced at the investigation.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The defense presented its case in the
afternoon.
The first witness called by General Hart
was Fred Rohrer. He testified that he was
at the second precinct of the Third Ward
during the recent Republican primary. He
saw Grove L. Johnson there and aLo offi
cer Stafford. "I attempted to vote at about
1:30 o'clock," he continued, "and Mr.
Johnson challenged me on the ground that
I was not a resident of that precinct. I in
sisted that I should vote, and there was
nearly a riot—one side trying to help me
to vote and the other side trying to prevent
me. Mr. Johnson ordered officer Frazee
to clear the polls, and the officer tried to do
it, but did not succeed. Just previous to
that Mr. Johnson got into a row with a
man named Woods, and both were talking
very loud. After Mr. Johnson was arrested
and taken away everything was quiet. I
thought Mr. Johnson was making all the
trouble. There was a large crowd of peo
ple around tbe polls and there was a great
deal of noise."
On cross-examination by Mr. Jones, the
witness said he was a candidate on the
ticket opposed to Mr. Johnson. Did not
go to tbe polls to crowd others away. It
was before Mr. Johnson's arrest that he
had the wrangle with Woods. "I didn't
hear him use any vulgar language. I
didn't see him arrested. I was one of the
crowd which was pushing aud pulling. I
thought officers Stafford and Frezee were
trying to keep the crowd back."
Deputy Sheriff Geqrge Egan was the
next witness. He was a participant in the
Republican primary, and was detailed by
the Sheriff—by request of Mr. Johnson, he
understood—to go to the second precinct
to help keep the peace. There was consid
erable pushing aud hauling there—once,
he said, by Mr. Johnson ordering officer
Frazee to take one of the challengers—a
man named Green —away from the polls.
Frazee attempted to do it, and witness in
terfered. He and Frazee then had a
wrestling match, Frazee trying to take
witness from the polls, too. He did not
see Mr. Johnson arrested.
On cross-examination Egan said that
Mr. Johnson's language in ordering Green
under arrest was: "Mr. Officer, here's a
man for whose arrest a warrant is waiting
at the police .station, and he has no right
to be here. Take him away." Frazee at
tempted to carry out the order. "I grabbed
hold of him," continued Egan, "and told
him that Green was our challenger, and
had a rigbt to be there. Frazee and I then
had it and I quit winner."
Attorney Jones subjected the Deputy
Sheriff to a severe cross-examination in re
gard to his authority for interfering with
officer Frszee when the latter was about to
make an arrest. Egan maintained that
Frazee was not arresting Green.
Harry Jones was the next witness. He
testified that he was a barkeeper and
worked on Second street, between X and
L. He denied positively that he was a
prize-fighter. "I went out io the Ninth
street precinct," be said, "merely as a
spectator. I met Mr. Green there and he
asked me to stay there to help him in case
there was any trouble. There was a large
crowd around at the polls. Mr. Johnson
was challenging on one side and Green on
the other. I heard Mr. Johnson say some
thing about there being a warrant for
Green's arrest, and heard him order
officer Fro zee to take him away. '1 hen
there was a grand scuttle. Mr. Johnson
was in the midst of tbe crowd, and during
tbe row I saw officer Stafford take bim
ont. I learned afterward that he had been
arrested."
Id answer to questions by attorney
Jones, the witness said he had been a rest
dent of Sacramento abont four months.
He admitted tbat he bad engaged in sev
eral glove contests, but he did not consid
er himself a prize fighter. He denied tbat
be went to the polls as a hired fighter, and
received no compensation for his services
that day.
Thos. Woods testified that Mr. Johnson
was "making a disturbance around the
polls, challenging everybody, pushing and
shoving, and making a racket generally."
He was not present when Mr. Johnsou was
arrested.
George Newman, saloon keeper, stated
that he also observed Mr. Johnson at the
polls. Mr Johsson was acting as a chal
lenger. "I saw the big disturbance, out of
which Mr. Johnson's arrest grew," said the
witness, "but 1 did not know how it started.
1 did not see Mr. Johnson arrested, exact
ly, but saw Mr. Stafford bring bim out of
the crowd. There was a great deal of
noise, both sides were pulling and houling
and yelling at the same time.
Special policeman Robert Goods' testi
mony was to the effect that he was not on
duty during the recent Republican primary,
but attended tbe voting in the Third Ward
as a spectator. Saw Mr. Jobnson at the
window of the second precint polling
place, and thought he was there as legal
adviser to the men on the inside. Did not
know that he was a challenger. Thought
that officer Frazee was the challenger. "I
was there during the big row," said tbe
witness, "and heard Mr. Johnson talking
very loud. He was making as much noise
as any of ns. I did not crowd Mr John
son out of his place. He gave me his place
at the window once. I did not see Mr.
Johnson arrested, but I heard somebody
say, 'Arrest tbat man and I'll swear to a
a complaint,' and tbeDext I saw was officer
Stafford taking Mr. Johnson out. Mr.
Stafford used no violence in makiug the
arrest."
John O'Meara beard Mr. Johnson tell
officer Frazee to do his duty and arrest
Green. Mr. Green was not creating any
disturbance. He did not see Mr. Jobnson
doing anything out of the way, and did
■ not know why he was arrested. He did
not see the arrest on account of the crowd.
Chief Drew was there, and ordered officer
Frazee to come away from the polls.
Several witnesses were called who did
not materialize, so the defendant, officer
Stafford, was placed upon the witness
stand. He testified that he had been on
the police force a year and a half. On the
day of the Republican primary he was de
tailed to the stcond precinct of the Third
Ward. "I saw Mr. Johnson there," said
Mr. Stafford. "He was challenging voters.
There was a large crowd there, and every
time a man's vote was challenged the
crowd would rush up to the polls,
and there would be a lively push
ing and pulling. The row that
brought about Mr. Johnson's ar
rest occurred about 2 o'clock. Sonie
bodv was trying to vote, and then I heard
Mr.'jobnson shouting to officer Frszje to
arrest George Green, who was challenging
on the other side. When Frazee seized
Green, tbe crowd rushed in. Chief Drew
and I rushed in to put the crowd back. I
was about half in when I turned around
and saw Mr. Johnson with his hands on
Harry Jones' shoulders, and was pulling
him. Jones had hold of George Egan and
George Egan had hold of Frazee. They
were all trying to pull Frazee away from
Green. I took hold of Mr. Johnson by the
wrist with one hand and around the back
with the other, and took him out of the
crowd. I did not intend to arrest him, but
when W. P. Harlow demanded that I ar
rest him, saying that he would prefer
charges against him, why I could do noth
ing but do my duty. I had no feeling in
the matter whatever, and only arrested Mr.
Johnson because I had been commanded
to do so by a citizen. Mr. Harlow told me
afterward that he had neglected to file the
complaint, having been absent from the
city. Mr. Johnson was discharged by the
Court, but since then Mr. Harlow has
sworn to a complaint against bim.
On cross-examination by Mr. Jones, of
ficer Stafford stated that he was positive
that Mr. Johnson was pulling Harry Jones
when he took him out of the crowd. The
arrest was made wholly upon Harlow's de
mand and his declaration that he would
swear to a complaint. Wben he saw of
ficer Frazee take hold of Green he thought
it was proper to take the other challenger
—Mr. Johnson —away, too, so as to stop
the disturbance. It was not his intention
at that time to make any arrests.
W. P. Harlow was the next witness. He
was at the second precinct, Third Ward,
during the Republican primary, and saw
Mr. Johnson there. The latter was chal
lenging. "Early in the afternoon Mr.
Johnson became boisterous," said the wit
ness, "and finally ordered officer Frazee to
arrest George Green. Frazee started after
Green, and then there was a general row.
I saw Mr. Johnson grab Harry Jones and
begin pulling him. Wben officer Stafford
took Mr. Johnson out of the crowd. I
saw that he was not gome to arrest him,
so I walked up and demanded that he
be arrested, and I said I would swear to
to the complaint. When the case wts
about to be called in ihe Police Court, I
was in San Francisco, and could not swear
to the complaint. I told City Attorney
Hart about my trip to the Bay."
William Lamphrey was at the Ninth
street polling place nearly all day, and saw
Mr. Johnson frequently. Mr. Johnson, he
said, was taking an active part in the elec
tion, and was "rustling" for the ticket
against which tbe witness was contending.
Witness described the arrest of Mr. John
son, in effect the same as the witnesses who
preceded him. He was Confident Mr.
Johnson was talking as loudly and taking
about as active a part as any one else. He
did not see him doi^g anything more than
the rest. There were no more rows after
Mr. Johnson was arrested, said the wit
ness.
General Hart here announced that he
wanted to examine one more witness be
fore closing, bat that this witness was not
present, although he expected him every
moment.
Mayor Comstock suggested that a re
cess be taken for a few minutes, and that
being agreeable to all parties, such an order
was made.
When the Commission reconvened, Mr.
Hart announced lhat his witness had not
yet put in an appearance, but he did not
wish to delay the investigation, and would
therefore submit the case on the testimony.
He did not wish to argue the case, either.
Mr. Johnson's attorney, Mr. Jones, said
he was willing to submit the case without
argument, too.
The Commissioners then J held a short
whispered consultation, at the end of which
Mayor Comstock announced that the Com
mission was ready to vote on sustaining or
not sustaining the charges against officer
Stafford.
Clerk Jones called the roll, and the
Mayor and Judge Buckley voted to sustain
the charges, while Chief Drew voted in the
negative.
After another consultation the Commis
sion decided not to pronounce judgment
upon the officer until Monday morning,
and an adjournment was taken until that
time.
MB. .IOHNBON NOT GCILTY.
When the Stafford matter was disposed
of, Judge Buckley re-organized the Police
Court and passed judgment in the case of
Grove L. Johnson, charged by W. P. Har
low with disturbing the peace—the charge
upon wbich he was arrested by officer Staf
ford. Without making any comment, the
Judge found Mr. Johnson not guilty.
A PAIR OF JACKS.
They Looked Alike and Bore the Same
Nuzues, yet were Strangers.
Early last evening police officer Wilson
lugged a very much inebriated individual
into the police station and asked Jailer
Kider lo lock him up as an ordinary
"drunk." The prisoner, between his hic
coughs, gave his name as John Cardwell,
and after being duly registered was safely
housed in the drunk cell.
About two hours later, officer Wagner
and special McLaughlin arrived with an
otbei inebriate. Wben they faced him
around so that Jailer Rider could see him,
tbat official nearly fell from bis chair.
"How'd he get out?" he gasped.
"Out of where?" asked one of the offi
cers.
"Out o 1 here. 1 locked that fellow up
once, or I'm an Injun."
Sure enough, tbe new comer was either
John Card well or his double.
"What's your name?" asked officer
Wagner, giving the prisoner a shake.
" Jonathan (hie) Card well."
"Ob, Lord ! I knew it," wailed the jailer,
and seizing his keys, be rushed for the
drunk cell, fully expecting to find every
occupant gone. But to his surprise there
were no Bawed bars or removed bricks, and
tbe harmonious ensemble of snores con
vinced him that at least some of the drunks
were left. Glancing furtively about Mr.
Rider's eye finally rested on the peaceful
face of John Card well, now in dreamlana.
"Well, that beats me," mused the jailer,
scratching his head and gazing at tne
placid face. Then going to the door he
shouted to tbe officers to bring the other
fellow in.
The sleeping John Cardwell was aroused
and confronted with the Dew arrival. As
like as two peas. They stared and blinked
at each other, but neither had ever seen
the other before.
Jailer Rider breathed much easier, and
the other officers pronounced it one of the
most remarkable coincidences they had
ever heard of.
On Carquinez Straits.
The First Artillery Regiment of the
Fourth Brigade leaves Santa Cruz for Sac
ramento to-night. Now that the encamp
ment is over, let the guardsmen consider
Benciia as a point for the next camp. It
is central, easy of access, has a delightful
climate and the troop would have the ad
vantage of the Unittd States Arsenal, the
splendid parade ground, of instruction by
regular army officers and could learn to
handle light and heavy artillery. The cost
of an encampment at Benicia would be
greatly ltss than at Santa Cruz and the
pleasures of life about the Straits of Car
ouinez are many.
Improved sidewalks.
Sidewalk improvement has taken a new
"spun" in the past week, and a disposition
is manifest generally to put down per
manent and tne best approved walks. The
agitation does not, however, appear to
have seized upon owners, with a few ex
ceptions, on tbe north side of X street,
from Fifth to Eighth, where the need tor
better walks is imperative.
Let the Trees be Trimmed.
There is need for some radical tree
trimming on many streets. Some branches
overhang, on some of the principal high
ways, so much as to strike persons in the
face if they drive a littie either side of the
crown of tne street.
Swimming Bath Proposals.
Secretary Dale, of the Swimming Batb
Association, yesterday received two more
propositions for locations. All offers are
now referred to the Board of Director?,
which is to Organize on Monday.

Eyes unit Circles.
Camp Stanford,
Santa Cruz, August 8,1890. J j
To-nighi was ladies' night in camp, and '
all afternoon there were active preparations
for the reception. The headquarters tent
was tastefully decorated with ferns and
there was a profusion of flowers of almost
every description. The ladies had charge i
of everything and extended an invitation
to tbe enlisced men in camp as well as the
officers and the people of Santa Cruz. It i
was a jolly crowd and everybody gathered
to have a good time. Coffee, sandwiches, '
lemonade and cake were served, and the '
affair was certainly one of the events of
camp. The band delighted all with its j
concert aud dance music, and the dancing ,
platform was crowded during the entire :
evening. The reception lasted about fjur !
hours.
Before the reception closed this evening !
the following set of resolutions was read i
and presented to Mayor Bowman :
Whereas, The officers and men of the First

J. W. Guthrie, Colonel Commanding.
W. W. (jKEEK, Ciptain and Adjutant.
After they were read.Chapla n Yon Herr
lich asked the attention ot tbe audience
and made a speech and presentation to
Mayor Bowman. His remarks were very
welt chosen and the people listened with
interest until he made the request that the
package C3ntaiuing the present be not
opened until the next day. Everybody
then became curious and insisted that the
gift should be displayed then and there.
The box was opened and the Mayor found
in it the collar belonging to bis dog. It
hac been lost tor over a week and one of
the camp boys found it on the beach.
Adjutant-General Orton aud Captain |
O'Connor, U. S. A., reviewed the regiment
at 5 o'clock this evening and fully 290 men
were in line at the inspection. The sight
was a grand one and all passed off
smoothly.
Jack Bauer, of the band, is known to be
very excitable and this morniug fell into
the sink when the cannon went off.
A private of Company C fainted on the
parade ground thiseveningand it was quite
a while before he was resuscitated.
Lieutenant Ornisby makes all the fun in
camp and without him things would cer
tainly be dull.
Mrs. Major C. H. Hubbard and family,
Miss AUie Lindley and a few other Sacra
mento people came 0..t to camp to day for
the first time.
Company A's ball nine defeated a club
from Company E this morning by a score
of 10 to 5. The game was well played.
To-morrow there will be a dance in camp
to wbicb every one is invited.
General Orton oined with the regiment
this evening.
Twenty-two men were arrested and
placed in the gnard-house early this morn
ing. Before reaching the lines they planned
a scheme to throw the sentry off his guard
and thsn rush through into camp. The
crowd walked around to the left of the
camp and there hid in the trees, while two
of the party walked up to the sentry and
engaged him in conversation. Tbe rest of
the crowd saw their chance and made a
break for the lines. They were making
excellent progress when suddenly the
whole party went head over heels into a
deep trencb, and before they could recover
themselves the guards were upon them,
and every one of the crowd was escorted lo
tbe guard-house.
To-morrow the band and officers will
serenade the Mayor and the guests at the
prominent hotels iv town.
The officers and ladies are invited to at
tend a reception to be given to-morrow
night by Colonel Hinds and wife, at their

A Fourteen Inning; Game at Btocktoo—
The Senators Lose Again.
San Francisco, August 9th.—In the
game between Oakland and Sacramento to
day Cobb's pitching was too heavy for the
Senators, and they lost by a score of 4 to 3.
Roberts was the only man who could hit
safely during the first half of the game, and
then Sacramento was unable to bunch
their bits until the ninth inning. Both
teams played good ball and gave the pitch
ers fine support. Hoffman was hit freely
in the openiDg innines, but was very ef
fective afterwards.

AT STOCKTOK.
Stockton, August 9th.—Fourteen innings
of greal baseball were played to-day be
tween the San Franciscos and Stocktons.
It was a game replete with heavy hitting
aud preity iieldings. and, although three
pitchers were called into service, outside of
one inning, they did brilliant box work.
Young was touched up for three singles
and a triple in tee fourth inning, which
gave the home team their first runs. In
the fourth, on three singles, as many errors i
aud a sacrifice, five more wete scored.
San Francisco got one run iD the second
inning on ■ base od balls, an ont-steai and
a single. In the hfth inning, with one sin
gle, Bverett getting hit by a pitched ball,

pounded all over the lot. Five singles
were counted off. and with one error, a
wild pitch, a passed ball and a base on
bails, six rues were tallied, and tbe score
] lied. Hapeman was succeeded by Perrott
in the eighth inning, who for seven innings
: pitched a masterly game. The Friscos hit
biru for but three singles, and two other
j men alone reached first.
, The teams continued to put upe'lt-edged
! ball, and wben the Stocktons went to the
bat for the fourteenth time. Perrott rapr-ed

KICKED EIGHT FEET.
Miss Jeannette Duprex's High Kick for
Fifty Dollars.
[ From the New York Journal. I
" Bet you fifty that Jeannette can kick
the highest."
"Done!"
" All right. To be decided here on the
spot."
They were both the toniest sort of
swells, both Union Club men, both rich,
both out for a lark. The place was the
public parlor of the Sea Beach Palace
Hotel at Coney Island; the time was last
evening at about 8:30 o'clock.
And who were the girls?
Ballet-dancers and high-kickers by pro
fession; members of Mme. Sulki's Hun
garian troupe; companions of the pretty
girl who eloped with the Indian cornet
player. And they were pretty, too. One
of them had black hair which curled in
little ringlets close to her shapely head:
eyes as dark and dreamy as a houri's; a
wonderfully clear complexion, albeit it
was slightly browned by a life massed
under southern skies, and a double row of
small, white even teeth which glistened
ever and anon as she parted her rich red
lips in a dazzling smile. Her name was
Jeannette Duprex.
The other girl was also very lovely. .She,
too, was a brunette, and her hair was
smooth and glossy but her eyes were a dark
gray instead of black. Her name was
Adelina Zelka.
Both maidens had superb figures, supple
and graceful from the constant training
which their vocation entails. They were
dressed in street costume.
The two clubmen had spoken to the
girls and had flirted innocently with them
to pass an idle half hour away. The girls
had been flattered by the attentions from
such aristocratic cavaliers, and their heads
were turned a little. So, when one of the
men proposed the bet and it was so
promptly accepted, the girls were quite
willing to do their part, especially when
it was agreed that the man who won the
bet should pay $50 to the highest kicker.
A gas-bracket on the parior wall was
conveniently near, and one of the men
arose and hung his hat on it. As measured
afterward, it was 7 feet lOJ inches from the
floor.
"There's something to kick," he said.
Adelina Zelka first essayed to touch the
hat with the toe of her dainty shoe, but
fell far short. Three times she was al
lowed to try, and although she came closer
at each successive trial she could not reach
it.
Then Jeannette Duprex's turn came.
Catching her skirts in both her hands and
raising them a little so that they would
not be in her way, she stood for a moment
several feet from the object of attack.
Then she walked deliberately—even
slowly—toward it, stopped, gave a little
skip ;md jumped quite off the floor. As
she did so her right foot shot straight up;
the toe of her russet shoe struck the hat =»
sharp clip, and the hat fell to the ground.
So did Je<tnnette. She landed on her
back and lay there for a moment.
The noise of her fall brought Manager
Lntta running from one direction and
Mine. Sulki. the leader of the ballet girl*,
from another. They were both furious,
and the girls escaped, Jeannette with her
$50.
Madame vowed that she would discharge
the girls on the spot, and Latta swore that
they should never appear on his stage
again, but the clubmen were men of the
world, and by dint of much talking, apolo
gizing and explaining, assisted by a mag
num of champagne, they smoothed mat
ters over.
But the girls did not make their ap
pearance again all the evening.
The new bridge to be built over the
Hudson river between New York and Jer
sey City will eclipse the monster Brooklyn
i structure. The great central span will be
2,860 feet long, nearly twice the length of
the span over East liver. There are to be
five towers rising to a hight of 500 feet
above the water. It is one of the most
daring feats of engineering undertaken in
this or any other country.

me of a Norwegian fjord, an indentaion
three miles long, so deep, so clear and
still, and the caaoade breaks over a le<le;e

HARTNELL GRANT.
The Present Owners Will Stoutly Defend
Their Intercuts.
"The present owners of tbe Hartnell
grant," says the Gait Gazette, "held a meet
ing in Gait last Tuesday lor the purpose of
getting their heads together and making
arrangements to delend their several in
terests and titles to land in tbe grant herein
referred to. It will be remembered that
some few weeks a^o eh action was com
menced in the Superior Court of this
couuty to recover a certain interest in the
Hartnell grant, and that the case ij being
prosecuted by well-known San Francisco
attorneys. Tbt present owners are no! in
the least hlhi tiied over tbe suit, which in
their opinion has simply been trumped
up by a coterie of lawyers for fees that
might be made out of the litigation. How
ever, the owners are taking time by the
forelock and will leave nothing undone to
defend and protect their interests "

The latest invention in door locks is one
which cannot be opened from the outside
by a plier or skeleton key if it is locked on
the inside, and for this reason is especially
valuable for hotel rooms and inside doors
of buildings generally. It has double
bolts, one above the other. The lower
one is used to lock the door from the out
side. Its keyhole does not go clear
through the lock, neither does the keyhole
of the bolt that locks the door from the
inside. When the daor is locked on the
inside there is no means of reaching the
key or the keyhole of the inner bolt from
the outside of the door. This lock is being
extensively used on the Pacific coast in all
new hotels.
