Official Visit to the House of Correction
Kearney in His Cell.
SAN Francisco, April 22d.-The Board of
to-day, accompanied by number of repre-
sentatives of the press. During their tour of
the building they collectively interviewed
Kearney in his cell. The ex-agitator pre-
sented quite nobby appearance in his new
suit of a stunning pattern, and received his
visitors affably. He expressed himself well
satisfied with his hotel, saying that the grub
was much better than he had been accus-
toned to on board ship, and had no complaint
to make of his treatment, except that he
found his situation somewhat conGning, and
was anxious for the storm to clear up so that
he could get out ON the county road now be-
ing constructed and take little gentle exer-
else.
Kuklux in Tulare County Fresh Out
break OF the Land Troubles.
HANFoRD, April 22d-The Kuklux are at
it again. Last night Mr.. Parkhurst was
called out of bed at the Freeman House.
One of the Leaguers stood on one side of the
door with a double -barreled shotgun, and on
the other side stood one with pistol cooked,
and a spokesman in front, while twenty or
thirty horsemen, all fully disguised, sur
rounded the hotel. The proprietor answered
their call. He asked them not to make
any demonstration that would frighten
the wife or child of Mr.. Parkhurst
He then wakened Mr.. Parkhurst and told
him to come down. Parkhurst did not wish
to do this, but being advised that no harm
would follow he went down to the door,
closely followed by his wife. Mr.. Parkhurst
had been sent here by the railroad company
for the purpose of leasing the lands to set
tiers which are now occupied by them. He
was asked when he intended to leave. He
told them he intended to leave in the morning
train at o'clock They said that was all
right They also called for Clark, the grader,
but he was not in town. Mr.. Parkhurst
finding that they would not lease of him, had
prepared to leave without any intimation of
their midnight visit. The settlers consider a
lease signed by themselves and placed on record
would operate against them in their claim
for the land. Out of two or three hur dred
cases they have been able to appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States but
three. The railroad company are deter
mined to have possession or rent. The set
tiers, on the other hand, are determined to
hold possession, by mob force if necessary,
till the cases are decided upon by the Su-
preme Court. The hoped. for compromise, it
seems, has fallen through, and the settlers
are red.hot.
