The game Of baseball to-day, the third
OF the series for the local championship,
between the above clubs, should, and no
doubt will, be an interesting event. The
Albions during the past week have been
strengthened by three new players from
San Francisco-Rowen, Sweeney and DON
nelly. The latter Is we'll known here. hav-
ing handled the sphere with the Eurekas on
former occasions. Rowen and Sweeney
are professional players. Rowen Is a
catcher who came to this coast two years
since with the Hop Bitters, and is consid-
cred q very skiilfui man behind the bat.
He is a very pleasant young gentleman,
and the fraternity In general should DO
proud OF his acquisition. OF Sweeney
we do not know much. He has, however,
q pretty fair record as q pitcher, and played
with q San Francisco club In that capacity
the past season up to the time OF his de-
parture for Eureka. The arrival OF these
three players has created q little conster-
nation in the ranks OF the Richmonds, and
Tor several days the opinion prevailed that
they would decline further contests with
the Albions but we learn that Donnelly
will play with the Richmonds to-day. and
partially equalize the teams. The Albion
nine will be as follows. Rowen, Sweeney.
hoxburg, Muldoon, Curran, Crawford,
skinner, Hall and Lambert. The Rich
mond nine had not been fully determined
upon last evening, but We expect them to
throw a strong force into the field.

Judgment is rendered, the Richmond Com
pany will be charged as holding the St.
George patent as a trustee for the Albion
Company. But il that relief be notgrant-
ed, the Court may simply declare the pat
ent void as against the Albion Company,
and thus quiet the title Of the Albion
Company to the ground in dispute. The
effect of either judgment will be substan-
TALLY the same. We have made rather q
protracted statement Of the case, but it
may be recapitulated as follows: Rose and
others were prior locators, and in posses
sion. The Richmond Company, upon q
subsequent location, attempted to get q
patent; Rose and others protested; all pro-
ceedings were stayed, and proper suit was
brought in the District Court Of this
county, which had full jurisdiction and
power to determine to whom the patent
should be issued. But before that question
was determined, and while the Court had
Jurisdiction and the Department none, the
Department undertook to issue a patent.
1t is now the duty of the Court to try the
question and determine the right Of pos
session, when it will be compelled to de-
clare that Rose and others are entitled to
the property 1t is plain that a patent is
sued under these circumstance cannot de-
prive the Court OF jurisdiction or rob the
plaintiffs Of their rights. No technicalities
or bubbles can prevent the Court from
passing judgment in favor OF the rightful
owners OF the property. If otherwise, the
following would be a good illustration of
the principle upon which the decision
must be rendered A. brings suit
against B.. for a piece Of land to which
A. has complete title, and upon which B.
is a taxpayer. b. hires a ruffian to meet
A.. on the street and forces him to sign a
deed at the mouth Of q pistol. b. pleads
this deed as subsequently acquired title.
Under the Richmond's theory, A. would
not be able to show in the case that it was
obtained by duress and void, but B. would
have judgment in his favor, and thereby
acquire a complete title to the land as
against A. This illustration does not
overstate the case. Rose brings suit for
the mine in question; all proceedings are
staid until the question shall be deter
mined as to who is entitled to the patent.
The Richmond Company get q patent
while this question is being tried, and
plead it, and say, although the question
is as to who is to have the patent, we have
obtained a patent without authority Of
law, and you have lost o title" 1t
cannot be possible that there will be any
ultimate difficulty in settling the rights of
the parties in this case, and however much
time may be occupied in preliminary mat
ters, it is evident that they will all tend to
the same result, to wit: the final deter
mination of the rights Of the parties.

Your claim will receive careful attention
and we shall announce the result in due

THE GREAT A y
The Mastery Argument of COun.
seIor Wood Yesterday.


The whole Of yesterday was occupied by
Counselor W. s. Wood in discussing the
question as to the admissibility Of testi-
mony assailing the validity OF the st.
George patent. 1t is conceded on all sides
that Mr.. Woods argument was the ablest
that has yet been offered in this celebrated
case. He is not what may be termed a
fluent or eloquent speaker, but as a close,
logical reasoner he has few equals
at any bar. He quoted and applied
the law in support Of his position
in a most powerful and telling manner.
Case after case and authority after author
ity were piled up in such wonderful pro-
fusion as to leave no doubt in the mind Of
the unbiased listener as to the correctness
OF his theory and the justice OF his cause.
The effort was one Of which the counselor
may justly feel proud. At the conclusion
Of Mr.. Woods argument, which lasted till
about 4 p. NJ, the Court adjourned
to 8 o'clock Monday morning, when the
further consideration Of the same point
will be resumed. 1t is now thought that
the end Of the great case will not extend be-
You'd the middle Of the week. The ruling
OF the Court on the important question
under discussion will be looked for with
the deepest interest. This will probably
be given some time tomorrow.

A hoy Shot.

The nine-year-old son Of Eugene Sui
Ivan was accidentally wounded yesterday
by a split bullet, at one OF the targets near
Cariboo Hill. The little fellow was pass
ing along the road when some men, names
unknown, who were practicing, requested
him to attend the target. He took posi-
ton behind the wall near by, and was sup
posed to be out Of danger, but in some
unaccountable way u Of the bullets split
and a fragment lodged in his leg below the
knee. The men who were shooting left
the range, probably not knowing that the
boy had been hurt. Other parties came
along and took him to his home on the
Richmond side. When the little fellow
arrived at home his boot was full Of Hood.
Drs. Williams aud Bishop being called
extracted the bullet. The father Of the
boy Is very indignant, that the men who
wounded his son did not pay any atten-
ton TO him after he had been hurt. 1t is
simple charity to presume that they did
not know that he had been injured. II
they knowingly left their conduct is de-
serving Of the highest censure.

Your Fortune.

The Reno Gazette says that quite q trade
has been driven by the gypsies camped over
the river, in fortune telling. People are
very foolish to be swindled as some have
been. A couple of women called at a
house a few days ago and wanted to tell
the fortune of some Of its inmates. They
were finally paid four bits for telling two
fortunes. They went into the next house
and told the ladies there that they had
just been paid SIS for the job, and collected
50 apiece on the strength Of it. They tell
the old, stereotyped story-all the ladies
are to have two husbands, and the men
are to have two wives, and everybody is to
have two nice children, a boy and a girl.
A dark.eyed woman is trying to make
trouble for the wives, and the husbands
are cautioned against a man with a brown
mustache. About five years ahead there
ia a year which will be very important to
each one, and every man and woman is tc
rise to eminence and be talked Of by the
world.
The same outfit did this town.
