bank was about six feet high at that point,
and from thence there was low ground upon
which they went distance OF about 150 feet
to reach the edge of the water in the river
Here they discovered for distance of about
/ OtlO feet aloug the edge OF the water, line
az Gravel and cobbIe. stones, which they state
was uro1estionably deposited there at the
last food. Two of these cobble-stones were
brought to the city, and yesterday offered
as evidence by the prosecution in the debris
case. to prove that the coarse debris from
the mines is carried to the lower portion OF
the American, and not simply the sediment
that is carried in suspension. The Court,
however, refused to admit the stony witnesses
upon the ground that they should have been
presented with the direct testimony of the
prosecution, and not upon rebuttal. One OF
the cobbles was of dark green color, smooth
worn from wash, and weighed 70 pounds:
The other was pure quartz and weighed
about 10 mounds, Mr. Allardt stated that
they were OF such character as 20 render 1t
positiye that they had been washed down
from the nires City Surveyor Bassett also
presented to the Attorney General several
large psbbles which he picked up few days
since in the American river at the north side
Of the city, ard also pebble-shaped pieces OF
the cement claimed to be of the same kind as
the specimen material in Court from Gold
Run. Some Of them were as large as hens
eggs, Their admission in evidence was, how
ever, subject to the same objection as those
above mentioned.

CLAIM REJECTED. The claim of Elias D,
Kennedy, made before the Board of City
Trustees at its meeting on the 10th inst.
amounting to So, 936, which is for coupons upon
bonds issued by the city under the laws Of
1858. and fell due on the 1st day of January,
1879. 1880 and 1881 was considered by the
Board of Trustees yesterday. City Attor-
ney Anderson appeared before the Board and
stated that it was evident that it was una
voidable for the city to have litigation upon
the subject OF these bonds, whether these
were paid or not, and that if one or two were
paid and others compelled to sue 1t would
hardly be fair. He therefore advised the
rejection of the claims and allow parties to
sue, so that the entire matter might be tested
in the Courts He further remarked that the
claim now presented was only small portion
of similar claims held to be due, and upon
which several suits have already been COM
menced but the papers have not been formally
served. These suits are in the Superior Court
of this county and in the United States Cir
cult Court. Upon the conclusion of MIR.
Anderson's statement, and brief consulta'
tion, the claim was rejected.
Found GUtLGT.-William Applegate, who
was mentioned yesterday as having stolen a
gold chain belonging to Robert Tash, fel
low.workman on the Waterloo ranch, near
Folsom, and which he put up for a small
amount in this city, was yesterday tried be-
fore Justice Gilmer, as the larceny was COM
mitted outside of the city. Applegate's
statement that he purchased the chain from
,Johu Goodwin, another fellow-rancher, was
found to be false, as after the former had tes-
tilted that he got the chain from Goodwin at
the Postofiice corner in this city, it was shown
that Applegate had the chain in bis posses
sion while on the way here from the Water
loo ranch, and offered it for sale to William
Smith at the sugar-beet factory near Brigh-
ton. This eonclusively showed that Goodwin
was innocent, and he was discharged. 1t also
was proof positive that Applegate was not
only guilty of the larosny, but also of procur-
ing the arrest Of Goodwin and attempting to
screen himself by placing his own crime upon
an innocent man. He was sent to the County
Jail for a term of fifty days, which is regard
ed as an exceedingly Light sentence for the
double offense committed.
FUEL FOR THE WATER WORKS. The
Board Of Trustees yesterday accepted the
proposition made by john Lands, of Wheat
land, on the 10 h instant, to furnish so much
Clipper coal SIS shaIl be needed to run the city
water works for a period of one year from
the 18th Of next month for the sum of s. 900.
This is the class Of coal recently mentioned
in these columns as having been under trial
in this city. The coal is to be delivered to
the CITY at the water works, and as fast as
should be needed The sum of $500 is to be
paid on the 1st of each month, and the bal.
auce at the expiration of the year. 1t is also
Stimulated that if at time of fires or other
emergency other fuel is found necessary, it
NAV be used and the actual cost be deducted
from the monthly payments.
