Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-09-30
The prisoner was remanded to the
custody of the Marshal.

The prisoner was remanded to the
custody ofthe Marshal.
The Sheriff yesterday made return
on the bench warrant issued for Dan
Smith, the Oregon stage robber, stat
ing that the prisoner had been found
in-the custody of the U. s. Marshal.
There Will, consequently, be no contest
over the criminal, and he will be NOV
ed by the Marshal on the day the Or
egon steamer sails.
The opening day of the Fall meet
ing at Oakland, yesterday, was sue
cessful so far as the weather was con-
cerned. 1t was only moderately so in
attendance, and the race being won in
three heats, there was not much ex-
citement. The race was for $500 for
horses which had never beaten 2:SO.
There were six entries; but only three
of them to start, viz: Hope, Dutch
man and Dirigo. The three which
did not appear were Lou Wipple,
Flora Shepherd and Alexander. In
as-much as Hope defeated those three
at Sacramento last week their owners
were not anxious to fight the battle
over again. A detailed description of
each heat, is unnecessary, the favorite
Hope taking the lead ON the start and
retaining it to the end of each heat,
excepting in the second heat, when
Dutchman showed ahead for short
distance on the back stretch. .ss4
G. Clayton g. Co., one of the largest
grain houses in this city, suspended
to-day. Liabilities not known. The
suspended firm were intimately con-
nected with the Bank of California,
and being unable to obtain accomoda-
tions elsewhere were forced to ask for
an extension. 1t is claimed that the
firm has fifty per cent. more assets
than liabilities, and will in time re-
sumo business. No serious effects
have resulted, as most of the indebted
ness is to farmers in the interior.
The local money market is easier.
Some of this is due to the amount
paid to depostors in the last three
days on their thirty dav notices; but
most of it is due to gradual return
of confidence and certain prospect
of an early resumption of the Bank of
California, the Stock Boards, and the
opening of the Bank of Nevada next
week. Four hundred and sixty thou
sand dollars in gold coin has been
shipped to New York during the week
against Sl90,00O last week. These are
the only coin shipments in that direc-
tion since the panic.
The paper of Clayton & Co. was dis
honored for the first time yesterday.
Assistance was promptly offered by
friends to tide over collection day, but
it was declined. At the annual set
tlement in May the assets of the house
were S150,000 over all liabilities, but
they were much scattered, consisting
largely of advances to farmers and for
wheat bags delivered to the firm,
booked with the Bank of California,
and the suspension of that bank, add
ed further obstacles in the way Of their
business. There have been no unfor-
tunate speculations in produce, and
the chief difficulty has been the fail
ure to collect assets that are overdue.
A meeting of the creditors will take
place tomorrow, and from assurances
made the firm anticipate no trouble in
continuing their business without in
terruption.
On motion of Delos Lake, counsel
for the people, Judge Blake to-day
dismissed the indictments against
Emil Niemier for felony and embez-
element, and the Indictment against
Conrad Helbriegel for felony. These
parties were clerks in the employ OF
ex-License Collector Buckley, and
they were indicted for crimes COM
mitted when acting in that capacity.
Datest from Fall River.
= FALL River, Sept 29.--The situa-
tiOn among the oberatives is very quiz
ct, and few hands more have return
ed to work. 1t is said that all the
mills in the southern portion of the
city are running and are gradually
going on. Some of the mills refused
to worku ntil sufficient number of
hands were hired. e.-..
