A GRAND ISLAND CASE DEcIDED.-The
case of the People VS.. C. r. Parvin ct al.
has been before the Superior Court for sew
eral months. 1t grew out of the fact that
defendants, owning ,454l acres of land in
Reclamation District No. 3 Grand Island).
Sacramento county, applied to the Board of
Supervisors to have their property made
into separate district, claiming that it
was capable of Independent reclamation
The Supervisors granted the petition in
August, 1880, and named the land set off
Reclamation District No. 1856" The
owners of other land on the island objected
70 the division of District No. 3. and the
matter was taken into Court, the Attorney
General granting the use of the name of
the people. Judge Mcfarland rendered a
decision yesterday, giving judgment for the
plaintiffs. He said that the defense de-
pended on the validity of the Act OF April
Is, 1880, entitled AN Act to amend Section
34Sl of the Political Code The plaintiffs
declared that said Act was void, because it
was contrary to the section of the State
Constitution which provides, speaking of
legislation. that every Act shall embrace
but one subject, which subject shall be ex-
pressed in its title" The Judge referred at
sore length to the obvious meaning and
intent of the Constitution, and expressed
his opinion that the mere statement in the
title of an Act that it amended a section of
a code is no more an expression of the sub
iect of the Act than it would be if the
statement was TO read, " An Act to amend
the general laws of the State" The stand
ing of the case on trial depended upon the
constitutionality of the Act of April, 1880,
referred to above, and, holding that it was
unconstitutional, he rendered judgment as
stated.
A GARRoTER VANQUIsHED.-The hand
satchel, which it is fashionable for ladies
nowadays to carry instead of the more con-
venient purse, which can be placed in the
pocket out of sight, has peculiar attrac-
ton for thieves. During the past week
three ladies were robbed on the public
streets, just after dark, by thieves who
snatched those grip-sacks,n and then
made their escape through dark alleys.
Saturday night one of these bold robbers OF
women attempted to take purse from a
young lady on Ninth street, between K and
L. She was accompanied by q sister and
little brother. The thief knocked a bundle
from her arm and then grabbed at the
purse. The young lady resisted and dealt
the robber some heavy blows, la Sullivan
in the face, while all three set up yell fol
help that brought the neighbors out, and
the thief beat a hasty retreat through the
dark alley back of the State House The
young lady picked up her parcels and pro
ceeded home, where she declared sht
thought she could whip that garroter il
an even handed contest The rascal lef
/ the imprint Of his finger nails in the youns
lady's wrist.

All About a Shoe.

The bulk Of the shoes worn in this country
are made in the small towns OF New England. Many
OF these places consist OF little than one or two
large shoe factories with their several thousands
OF workmen. Any decrease in the business of the
factories would compel most Of the wori,ngmen to
seek employment in other towns Thus it happens
frequently that in a dull season or dull part of the
year, the factories run goods which return them
perhaps little or profit, simply that they may re-
tain their force Of employees and have them ready
for work when business is brisk.
We have gone into this explanation simply to
place in its proper light mans shoe recently re-
ceived from the East. It's button shoe, neat
shapely machne-sewed and with fancy tip. The
manufacturers write that the shoe was made when
they had nothing else TO do-hence our price to
you, s. IS

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, April 24.-The
Battleford news is rather alarming The
police who escaped from Fort Pitt reached
Battleford in a scow, and tell thrilling
story of their experience at the fort For
two weeks the Indians menaced the fort
daily and threatened to burn the place
if the entire garrison did not sur
render. Inspector Dickens resolutely
refused to capitulate, but as time
passed on and provisions grew scant,
and the situation began to look desperate,
W. Mclean, the Hudson Bay factor, sent
for Chief Big Bear. He offered to protect
all the garrison if they would surrender.
Mclean agreed and persuaded the civilians,
women and children, to 90 with him to
Big Bears camp. Big Bear expected
that the police would surrender, but they
stubbornly refused and made an effort
to embark on the river in scows. At this
Juncture the Indians came up and attacked
them, and desperate fight ensued There
were one hundred Indians, but the police
We're well armed and beat them back,
killing considerable number and wound
ing many more. The police then sheered
off in their scow and escaped. One of
their number named Cowan was
killed, and another, Lansby, MORALLY
wounded. Several others received wounds.
Factor McLean's timidlty embarrassed the
police and proved fatal to the liberty of
over twenty-five white men, women and
children. Many believe that these people
have already fallen victims to the treach-
cry of the Indians It is feared that young
Quinn, the scout, is in the hands of the In
dams.
Another Battleford dispatch states that
Frank Smith, merchant there, while on
patrol duty Wednesday evening, was killed
by bullet from sharpshooter The guard
then fired upon the Indians who were
across the river, but the result of the yolley
is not known.

THE cyclone and cloud-burst season
has arrived. North Carolina and Texas
have been the chief cyclone sufferers
thus far, while localities in the river val
leys of Kansas have been swept by sud-
den floods caused by cloud-bursts or
waterspouts, attended by great loss of
property and some loss of life. These
calamitous visitations, says the Chicago
Journal, appear to be the effect Of a
meeting of the warm and the cold cur
rents in the atmosphere, and are to be
expected at this season, when the two
opposite elements of heat and cold are
contending for the mastery in mid-air.
