The Other Side,

The following communication re.
garding the escape of Wiley Clark is
taken from the True Fissure:

aids in office. And, while would not
justify II prisoners escape, if such
it be, | have not shadow of doubt
but that his departure Is better for
this county, than would have been his
longer stay in Jail. |, and everyone
who knows the facts in this case, be.
lieve he might, with propriety, have
been discharged from Jail in June
last. The facts are substantially as
follows: Wiley Clark was arrested at
Stockton, California, in April last, on
a charge of grand larceny, horse steal.
ing, said TO have been committed in
this county last year He was brought
10 our Jail from Stockton by Sheriff
Robb. 1t was believed that Clark was
undisputably connected with IA band
of horse thieves. When the Grand
Jury met on May 5, 1884, lie concluded
TO turn States evidence. He went
before the Grand Jury and gave his
evidence in very Straightforward,

1t impressed the jurors and myself
with the belief of its truth. His testi.
mony was strongly corroborated by
indubitable evidence, and the fact that
he turned States evidence, testified and
led to others doing so, secured the
indictment Of several of his confeder-
ates in crime, all of whom have left
this State and dare not return. All
this was accomplished with the eX.
press understanding between Clark,
the Sheriff, the District Attorney and
myself that he would not be prosecu.
ted. In fact he was indicted only to
hold him legally in durance as a wit.
ness against the others if ever arrested.
When the District Court adjourned the
State was probably permanently rid of
them, and there was no reasonable
probability that Clark would ever be
wanted as witness. My individual
judgment was that it would have been
proper and right to have finally dis.
charged him in June. Indeed, Sc
suggested to the District Attorney
who, believe, intended to, had it not,
under IL pressure of other business
escaped his attention at the time to
have arranged for his release then.
Under these facts his departure is a
clear gain to the county, and is a loss
only to the landlord of the Hotel de
Robb." Under these facts anyone
may readily see why Clark was treated

ployes, TO whom the foregoing state.
ment is justly due, as conceive.

while watching the cremation of his

case was better than was that of the

with no outward wearing apparel at

over the loss of tablecioths, skirts, ETC.,

A notice to the ice consumers Of Los

HERALD this morning. The Southern
Ice and Cold Storage Company. of Los
Angeles, have established their head
quarters on South Vine street, near First
street, and are preparing to furnish ice
to the people Of Los Angeles and vicini-
ty, on and after the 18th OF March next,
at reasonable rates. They will also
furnish cold storage for the preservation
of fish, fruit, vegetables. meat, butter,
beer and dressed poultry. The location
in the heart of the city, on the line Of
the railroad, gives them especial advan-
tages for business. The machinery for
the use of this company. costing s23, 600,
has arrived in the city and is being set
up at Nos. 2. 4. 6 and 8. South Vine
street. 1t is Of the latest and most i'm
proved description and can manufacture

Beet Sugar.

A writer in the San Francisco Chron-
icie. who is well posted in regard to this
industry in California and elsewhere,
furnishes that paper with valuable in
formation, from which we quote the fol-
lowing:
1t is now o settled fact that beet sngar
manufacturing can be profitably prose-
cuted IN California. The Alvarado CON-
pany, after various ups and downs. now
pays handsome dividends. Its capital
stock has been doubled, and the com
pauy is preparing to engage in more ex-
tensive operations than ever. Sug
beets can be grown not only in many
places in this State, but also in Oregon,
and especially in Washington Territory.
II farmers have heretofore been disin-
clined to undertake their cultivation, 1t
is because they were not assured
Of market, or because the cost Of trans
portation Of the raw product would de-
YOUR all the receipts. But, with re-
finery in successful operation, there 10 no
longer any reason why crushing and re-
ducing works should not be established
in the various sugar-beet growing dis
tricts. In these mills the beets could be
reduced to 'muscavada.' This is the
practice in Germany, where sugar bsets
are cultivated in all parts Of the country;
and with similar establishments here,
the raising Of these beets would soon be-
come profitable industry. The Alver-
ado refinery, during the third year of its
operations, produced 1891 ,6SS pounds
Of sugar and 81, ,755 gallons of syrup, Of
the value of $l4S,6
