The Controller refused TO draw the war
rant and referred the reporter to the fol-
lowing law, which he claimed covered the
case:
Every regiment. or battalion, or unat-
tached company that annually assemblies
! and encamps for discipline and drill for not
| less than seven days, shall receive from the
State, to defray the expenses of said en-
| campment, sum equal to 81 % per day
Tor each officer and man regularly on duty
| in such camp provided, that the
aggregate of such allowance shall not
| for any one encampment exceed the
sum of S400 per company. When
the companies of regiment or battalion
| are not located at the same place, such COM
panies shall receive, in addition to above
| allowance, the actual fare to and from the
| place of assembly. Said sums shall be ac-
credited, allowed and paid as other allow
ances to the National Guard are paid"
Another section of the Code says: THE
| amount so audited and allowed must be
paid to the commanding officers of such
companies for the use thereof"
1t is understood that the Colonies of the
different regiments have filed their item
| lied demands, and if the same are approved
| by the Board of Examiners they will be
recognized by the Controller.
s
| TRIAL TEIP.-The Fish Commissioners
steam launch, Governor Stoneman, made a
trial trip last evening that was in every
way successful. She steamed from her
moorings on the Washington side of the
river, three miles up the stream, and re-
|
helm well, and is pronounced by all who
have seen her trim vessel. Captain Eos
| ter occupied the position of pilot; John
Rock, the builder, acted as captain; John
| Cunningham as mate, and Fish Commits
sioner Buckingham was chief of the COM
| missary department. A large number OF
| gentlemen were passengers among whom
were several members of the press. The
Stoneman was built for a police patrol boat
on the lower Sacramento and bays, but as
she draws over four feet of water she will
hardly go into service this season, as the
river at the Yolo bridge is only three feet
deep, and it will be impossible for her to &c
down stream until q rise of water.
EXECUTIVE PARDoNs.-Y yesterday Gov
ernor Stoneman issued pardons as follows
To Patrick Clancy, who was sentenced by
the District Court of Alameda county, il
1877, on a charge of murder in the SECOND
degree, to fifteen years imprisonment il
San Quentin. 1t was issued upon the
recommendation of the Board of State
Prison Directors, on the ground that he
acted in self-defense that there was a rea
sonable doubt as to his guilt, and also that
he was 20 years of age. Charles Bradley
who was convicted of burglary in San
Francisco in November, 1882, and sen.
fenced 10 seven years, was also cOmmuteC
three years. upon the recommendation o.
the Board of State Prison Directors.
! CAUGHT HIM.-A day or two ago a THE
entered the Office of Dr. Southworth, den
fist, on the pretense of having his teetI
fixed, and, being told to wait a while
watched his opportunity and stole abou
S12 worth of gold used for filling, and ther
left. Officers Rider and Kent have arrested
the fellow, who is named ]. H. Demarest
Some of the gold was found in his pocket
when he was arrested, having escaped from
the packages in which it was kept, and tn,
, remainder will be recovered from plac
where he sold it. He admits having stolel
property from other persons, but is some
what confused in his statements, havin
evidently been on big spree.
