woRKlNG TIE FARMERS.
Suspicious Doings In The Southern Pal
of the County.

Suspicious Doings In The Southern Part
of the County.
A swindle is being perpetrated on the
farmers between Gait and Stockton. Sew
eral gentlemen have been taken in. one
man in Lodi paying 81 900 for his expert
ence. Sheriff Cunningham, of Stockton,
says the swindle is almost identically the
same as scheme recently operated in the
East, and very similar to the Z" cat racket I"
which was played in Oregon not very long
ago. The swindler drives through the
country visiting farmers, to whom be repre-
sents himself as an agent or member as
the case may be, of corporation engaged
in introducing and dealing in Senaca seed
wheat. He offers ten bushels of the wheat
at $40 bushel, the whest to be delivered
at a future time-usually fixed several
months in advance, to give him time to
skip the country after gathering in all the
available ducats. AS an inducement TO the
farmer, and at the same time q proof of the
excellent quality of the wheat, he agrees to
negotiate the sale of twenty bushels of the
crop derived from the ten bushels sold to
the farmer, the twenty bushels to be sold at
$40 bushel and the farmer to pay % per
cent. commission on the sale The inno-
cent granger bites readily at this, for he
sees a chance to make $50 clear; for if be
pays S100 for ten bushels and sells twenty
bushels Of the crop for $500, less $50 COM
mission, will it not be $50 in his pocket?
So the swindler draws up papers of
agreement, which are duly signed The
| farmer pays his SI00 in cash, or gives his
negotiable note, and that is the last be ever
sees of the swindler.
ANOTHER METHOD.
Another method is sometimes practiced;
or rather, it is an extension of the method
just described
II the swindler's trick is not discovered,
and he thinks he can safely continue in
the community, he goes again to the farm
er who has parted with his hundred dol
lars, and says:
Now, see here; 1 agreed to sell twenty
bushels OF your coming seed crop for $40 a
bushel, didn't II"
'Yes, sir, says the farmer.
Very well; | will take it now"
Now? Well, ii hasn't grown yet
" That's very true; but in wheat deal
ines, you know, the regular way is to buy
and sell on paper. That's the method
adopted in the Call Bard Now, | will
buy those twenty bushels on futures, and
give you the $500 right away"
OF course, the granger is satisfied with
this arrangement.
So the swindler gives him 5000 in al
legged negotiable notes.
And now" he says, "you owe me $50"
What for?7
My commission on the sale"
" Oh, yes; I'd forgotten about that"
And the farmer gives him cash or q me-
gotiable note. In case the latter is given,
the swindler gets coin for it as quickly as
possible and departs from that commu-
nifty after working his other victims in
like manner.
When the farmer attempts to collect on
his $500 worth of notes. he discovers the
alarming fact that they are not worth the
paper they are written upon.

A small Teapot Tempest.

The resignation of officer O'Mara, whom
Chief Lee suspended and preferred charges
against, has caused vacancy in the police
force which the Police Commissioners are
about to fill. This very insignificant fact
has inspired two articles in cotemporary
and the use of as much campaign mud as
if it was deciding a Presidential struggle
The shafts seems 10 be all leveled at George
Green. whom it alleges was recently en-
gagged in the disreputable business of being
an active member of the so.called "Purityf
party at the primary in the First Ward.
The stupendious fight against Mr.. Green
has included allegations that he is a va
grant, or possessed of other easy habits and
this bit of election mud has brought out
the fact that he has been hard working
employe in the rolling mills at the rail-
road shops for many months past and, it
is stated, is warmly indorsed by his fell
low shopmen.
The entire cause of the small fusilade
appears to be a contest as to whether any
one not recognized as a Simon-pure rep
resentative of down town politics shall be
permitted to be placed upon the police
force, thus breaking into the prerogatiyes of
long recognized power; or, as stated upon
the other side whether because man
voted and worked with the majority at the
primary, he is therefore disqualified for
preferment. 1t is fortunate that this mo-
mentous question is to be decided soon, as
otherwise it might break in roughly upon
the musical harmony of the all absorb
ing tariff discussion.

Young HaIey,s Fight.

Jerry Haley, Sacramento boot. black,
fought thirty-seven rounds with Dan Ma
honey at the Golden Gate Athletic Club in
San Francisco on Tuesday night In a
long account of the fight the Chronicle
says: The fight proved in the matter of
receiving punishment rather one-sided and
to describe it in detail would Involve need
less repetition. As an exhibition of pluck
and stamina it has never been excelled on
this coast. Haley is a miniature Glover in
the matter of grit and capacity for tax
ing hard knocks, and to say that he sur
prised the Golden Gates last night would
be but to feebly express the true state of
affairs. The members were lost in wonder
at his courage and stubbornness, and many
who had remained past their usual hour,
thinking to see the tottering little Sacra-
mentan knocked out in each succeeding
round, had at last to take their departure
before the contest was finished"

An Inhuman Act.

Arthur G. Harris, teamster in the EN-.
ploy of E. NJ. Litch, made shocking dis.
covery about 6 o'clock yesterday morning
in vacant lot at Third and S streets. He
was returning from T street, where he had
been attending to his horses, and as he passed
the lot he heard peculiar noise which at
tracted his attention. Looking over the
fence he saw a naked male infant living
upon its back in the grass and crying
family. He picked up the little waif, and
placing it under his coat ran home with il
as soon as possible and turned it over to
his wife. A neighbor named Mrs. Norton
was sent for, and performed the necessary
operation of tying the umbilical cord, wash
inc and dressing the infant. The house
was soon filed with neighbors, and an
ample supply Of clothing was soon con-
tributed.
The child was large and fat, weighing ten
pounds, with good supply of black hair
Mrs. Norton says that he could not have been
born more than half an hour, and would
have lived but very short time if he bad
not been discovered by Mr.. Harris
The matter was at once reported TO the
police. and officers were detailed to find
out, if possible, the mother of the child.
No one in the neighborhood could be
found to give the slightest clue.
Last evening the officers had made up
their minds that they had located tue
mother of the infant, and will take steps
to-day to ascertain whether their suspicious
are correct or not.

Another Dissgreeable Neighborhood
Quarrel Aired.
There was another good-sized crowd as
sembled in the Police Court yesterday
morning to hear the examination of James
Brown, charged with assault to murder
Harvey Hawkins. When the case was
called Frank Esiabrook announced that he
appeared as counsel for the defendant, and
that he did not desire to put in any evil
dence. Brown was held to answer before
the Superior Court, and his bond was fixed
at $1,000. He was committed to the
custody of the Sheriff, and will make an
effort to secure bonds.
Charles Zepser and Barbara Mendler
were tried on counter charges of disturb
ing the peace. Mrs Member owns lot on
street, between Twenty-sixth and Twen-
ty-seventh, where she resides. On the
same lot is q small house which was built
upon thirty-four feet of ground leased for
that purpose. Zepser and his family
rented this house from Jake Gebert, and
have had the use of the well on Mrs.
Members lot. The latter claimed that
they misused and damaged the property,
and frequent quarrels have been the result.
Mr.. and Mrs. Zepser, their son, and two other
NllnesSeS ltSilueu lndt MIS-. MenQler had
disturbed the peace by use of loud and
boisterous language and calling the Yep
sers bad people. Mrs. Member was the
only witness on her side of the case and
she detailed the treatment she had re-
ceiyed at the hands of Mr.. Zepser and his
family. The result Was that Mr.. Zepser
was discharged and Mrs. Member required
to pay nominal fine

Mrs. Chambers appeared for sentence,
having been convicted of disturbing the
peace in evicting a tenant who failed TO
pay his rent. Judge Buckley imposed a
fine of 81 so but under the discretion of
the Court she was not required to pay it,
the Judge believing that she had acted un-
der misconception of her rights in the
premises.

sharp Language from General orton.

General order No. IA, just issued by the
Adjutant-General, contains the following
reprimand; brought forth on account of
the regiment Third Infantry of San Fran
cisco) and some of its companies being de-
hnquent in reports, etc.: THAT regiment
will be permitted 10 draw no more money
from the State Treasury until those papers
are received at these headquarters. Colonel
Tobin should have seen to it, that those
papers were forwarded long ago, or, if he is
too i'll TO attend to it, he should relinquish
his command to the next in rank and take
another sick leave. This office considers
the prompt rendering of accounts and other
official papers the most important OF an
officers duties, and the State can d;epense

ton that cannot find time to render the few
required in the State military service"
