LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

UsIoH correspondent at Elk Grove, writing
under date Of the % h, says Elk Grove has
grown to be a beautiful little place, sur
rounded by traits and vines and splendid ag
ricultural land. Her citizens or the majority
ST them. are built on the broad-gauge plan,
socially; free-hearted, enterprising and in
dustrious. The climate in that section of the
country is dry and bracing. and the land
high and free from mslaria. He thinks Elk
Grove should be q suburb of Sacramento "a
place of summer country residence for Sacra-
mento people The trains run so that BUSH
ness men can leave the city at AS P N. and
reach + k Grove before 8. The late rain de-
stroyed some feed, but all other crops have
been benefited. The strawberry cropis large,
and Elk Grove berries of the best. The
grape crop promises a splendid yield, IS do
also peach, neetariues and plums. This soil
is strongly impregnated with iron it is an al
most infallible insecticide, and for this reason
probably the vineyards hearesbouts are go
sinsularly free from destructive insects
Wheat promises fairly. He adds: The
vineyard interest received great boom here
this spring. Several persons have set out new
and enlarged old vineyards. Among the lat
ter G. H. Kerr, who set out over five acres Of
rooted Muscat vines. The Coon Bros. planted
about twenty-five acres and Mr.. Polhemus
eight or ten. Alil3ew has struck in on the
peaches little. Cherries heresbouts are
Glass-ball shooting all the rage.
A CONFIDENCE MAN.-Last Wednesday
stranger appeared at several stores of this
city, stating his name to be w. II. Edwards;
that he was going to build and fit up saloon
at Davisville that if business was good he
would soon build and open up hotel in that
city. He ordered heavily OF lumber of the
Friend & Terry Lumber Company, of Whit
tier, Fuller & Co. ne ordered large bill of
goods, and at J. l Felter & Co.'s store he
gave orders regardless OF the cost. His action
excited suspicion that ne was fraud, and
the latter house sent q messenger to Davis
vile to see what was known of him there.
He allowed the matter to lay over 8 day,
although he expressed himself quite anxious
to get his goOds, and after the messenger had
left he stated that he wanted to pay for the
goods Immediately, as his money was laying
idle at the National Bank Of d. o. Mills &
Go. Yesterday he came to the store OF J. |.
Felter & Co., early in the morning. and
stating that ne needed some funds to pay
few small bills of, asked to borrow $50, and
the reply was, Certainly, sir" but the loan
was deferred until a telegram came from
Davisyilie stating that no one knew the man
there. He was at the door of the store when
the telegraph boy passed into the store, but
was not seen afterwards. He evidently up-
derstoed what was up, and decsmped before
be could be arrested. The police have been
keeping sharp lookout since, but have failed
30 far to meet the sharper.
