by private conveyance. Messrs. Hunter and
Ferral went in pursuit as far as Perkins,
where they found not only the woman and
three children, but also Duyall, who were
waiting to take the train to Folsom, from
which point they intended to cross to Rose
vile and leave the State. The officer brought
the two boys to this city last night, and Mr..
Hunter and his two wards remained at the
Western until this morning, when they will
be taken to San Francisco. Upon being
asked by Mr.. Hunter, after away from their
father, whether they would like to see their
mother, they said they wanted to go and see
her and that their father had kept them from
seeing her for over year.
POLICE CoURT.-The following business
was transacted in the Police Court yesterday !:
Richard Sullivan, convicted of making kind
ling wood out of Ruby's trunk and trying
to shoot her, because it produced coldness
between them, was fined S37 80, and being

Chas. Wright and f. Hughes, petit larceny,
continued for sentence to-day; NJ. Norton,
for vagrancy, was discharged; Thos Bluitt,
for perjury in the Sprout case, continued

day morning for sleeping in box-car, and
CHARGED with vagrancy, were filed in before
his Honor in batch, and having been placed
in row, the Judge informed them that he
had some good news for them that the
Board of Supervisors had kindly made pro-
vision for chain-gang-an institution where
they could have an opportunity to engage in
honest healthy exercise, in addition to the
previous pleasurable resort = the County
Jail. He then listened to the story
OF each one and examined them separately,
giving to j. Ferral, George Williams, j.
Eastman and j. Menses ten days each in the
County Jail. j. Newell, who looked upon
the previous sentences with a complacent
grin, was promptly awarded twenty days in
the County Jail. J. Mclaughlin, George
Clous, j. Bowling and n. Lacivich were dis
charged. Alex. Jones, also one of the num-
Der, but who was only IA years old and of
good appearance, was informed by the Judge
that he wanted private talk with him, and
would continue his case until to-day. The
trial of the cases of the three Chinese and
two Italians who got into a conflict on Tues
day was commenced. Miss Anna Samantha
tcoloredj related the facts, but didn't know
what the Chinese said at the time. She
wanted it understood that she was no China

Chinese were, offered to do her washing for
nothing and make her present beside if
she would tell the truth about it before the
Court. The case was continued until to-day.
A DETECTIVE OUTwITTED.-A policeman
from Oakland recently arrived in this city
armed with warrant from the Police Court
of Oakland for the arrest of Chinaman for
l. Ta1o.4;a1 j la IA
On his way up he met stranger on the cars
and to him he unburdened his heaving bosom
and informed him, wholly unsolicited, of the
important mission. Arriving here he made a
descent on the Washington cannery and cap
tured the boss Chinese workman as the per-
son who was believed to be guilty of
such IN offense, and deposited him in the
city prison until wanted. The chap. however,
not relishing free trip to Oakland, employed
counsel to get him out of durance vile.
Hearing that a writ of habeas corpus was
likely to be issued, the detective took his
man out of the city prison and crossed to
Yolo couHty. The report is that he patrolled
the Washington levee most of the night. He
interviewed several men he met and told
them how he played the fellows who had the
writ of habtas corpus, and asked advice as to
how be could best get out of town. But, as
the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft
a glee," so it was in this instance, and the
detective was detected by the writ of habeas
corpus man, that in this instance was repre-
scented by Deputy Sheriff Preston. The mat
ter came up for hearing yesterday morning.
The prisoner was represented by ID. h. Alex
ander and Charles A. Wariug, and the de-
tective by District Attorney Buckley. After
partial hearing before the Superior Court,
Judge Clark presiding the matter was post
poned until 10 o'clock this morning for further
hearing. The last heard Of the officer he was
threatening to so home il the Court did not
go right ahead aud finish up the business.
Orr AGAIN. People begin to ask if the
authorities controlling the water works are in
league with the saloon men. For several
weeks the water has been repeatedly shut off
in different sections of the city at night with
out any notice being given, that people
might prepare. Complaint of this has been
made through the columns of the city press,
but no attention has been paid to it. Thurs
day night the water was shut off again at
about midnight from Second to Fourth
streets. J to l., and perhaps for a larger dis
trict, but in the two blocks mentioned not a
drop of water could be had, and if bucket
of the fluid had been needed to quench an
incipient conhagration the fire would have
burned in perfect freedom. The same night
it was shut off in the block bounded by
Fourth and Fifth, 0 and 2 streets, with
out notice, and resulted in much an
noyance. In two establishments where
some thirty persons use water for drink
ing and additions at night, not drop
could be had, and the restaurants aud saloons
near by were unable to supply the demand
for water Heretofore it has been the Gus
tom to give notice of intention to shut of in
given sections for few hours, but latterly
this has not been done. The complaint is
bitter in consequence, and people express
themselves as more than surprised that the
authorities in charge should give no heed to
requests for notice. At half-past / o'clock
this morning, and since the foregoing was
written, the water was again shut off from
the district first above-named, and no notice
of the intention was had.
