hundreds of the cattle, tired, and thin by long
drive, without chance to become accmaed get on

the rigors of northern winter froze and starved to
death. In the majority of instances the great mortality

through the crusted and get down to the feed.
They also weak and unaccustomed hunt for the
shelter afforded by the broken country but died in the
snowdrifts of the bottom lands. For time capitalists

of Montana, and, proting by the fatal experience of

the prisoner he remarked that there had
been no evidence to show that the prisoner
was vagrant under the law, and he would
order his discharge.
Deputy District Attorney Bruner said
that hereafter, unless arresting officers
should come into Court with some evidence
against their prisoners, the District Attor-

them. 1t was wrong to put the county to
so much useless expense.

visors yesterday that provision has been
made for the expenditure of 5000, for
the purpose of preparing an exhibit of
Sacramento county products for the new
" California on Wheels " expedition. The
sum is small, but if carefully used it will
be suficient-in addition to what public
spirited citizens will do individually-to
insure very creditable collection of county
products to be shown to people all over the
East The ub-committee of the Executive
Committee of the improvement Associa-
ton having this important matter in charge
makes the following appeal to citizens to
help it along:

Eastern tour on the 10th inst. Parties hav-
ing specimens of dried fruits, oranges and

an appropriate nature, are earnestly re-
quested to contribute to the success of the
showing by sending them to the Superin-
tendent of the Exposition building, near
the depot, or by addressing the Superin-
tendent and stating where the articles may
be called for. No one should hesitate about
aiding the Association, as contributions, no

LADIES' MUSEUM ASSOCIATION.

A Novel Entertainment to be Given in
December.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Ladies Museum Association was held al
Pioneer Hall yesterday afternoon. There
was good attendance and unusal interest
was manifested in the work in hand. The
proposition to give some kind of an enter.
tainment in order to raise funds was dis.
cusseG at length. there being considerable
diversity of opinion as to the character Of
an entertainment which would be most
likely TO draw crowd and put money in
the treasury. 1t was finally decided to give
an entertainment. some time in Dece mber
which shall embrace number of novel
features. Some of the ladies favored real
gentlemanly boxing match, and an exhibit
ton by members of the Sacramento
Athletic Club as good drawing card. A
recital by kindergarten children was also
suggested, but the details were left for
future decision.
The Secretary was directed to advertise
for applications for persons who desire o
course in the School of Design and who
are unable to bear the expense. 1t is pro.
posed by the Association to select from such
applicants the two most promising and give
them a one year scholarship.

UNDER FIRE.

Policemen Charged With Serious Offenses
AN Inquiry Demanded.
Grave charges having been made against
police officers Cunningham and Harris, a
RECORD UNION reporter last night asked
Police Judge Buckley if there would be an
investigation by the Police Commissioners.
He replied that he had not seen Mayor
Gregory since the publication of the
charges, but had no doubt the Commission
would act promptly in the matter. He
thought it due both the public and The &C.
cused that the charges be probed to the
bottom.
Officer Harris said he had asked Mayor
Gregory to have the matter investigated,
and the Mayor said he was not cognizant
of any formal charges, but intimated that
there would doubtless be an inquiry.
The officer said he was only TOO anxious
TO face his accusers before the Commission,
and the inquiry could not be had any TOO
soon to suit him
