A Butte County Lady's Judgment Again
the Sheriff Affirmed.

the Sheriff Affirmed.
The Supreme Court has rendered its de-
! cision in the case of Belle NJ. Morgan VS..
John NJ. Ball, Sheriff of Butte county, and
it was hled yesterday in the Office of Clerk
Williams, of the Sacramento District. The
action was for the recovery of the posses
sion of certain personal property from the
hands of the defendant, or if delivery could
not be had of the property, then for its
value, The Court below gave Judgment as
prayed for, and from that an appeal was
taken. The property, consisting of mare,
her colt and buggy, were given to the
plaintiff, Belle NJ. Morgan, then the wife of
w. j. Morgan, by him, in good faith, when
he was solvent, and able 10 pay his debts,
and at the time of the making of the gift
the property was delivered to and accepted
by the wife. Several years after the gift
was SO made, delivery and acceptance had,
the husband became indebted upon pre-
missory note to one Daniel McCarty in the
sum of $500. After the note became due,
it having been transferred to Fred Hecker
he commenced an action to recover what
was due upon it. On the day the action
was begun attachment was issued in aid of
it, and was levied by the Sheriff of Butte
county, the defendant here, upon the prop
erty involved in this discussion. A few
days afterwards Belle NJ. Morgan filed an
inventory of her separate property, includ-

IN GREAT SHAPE.
sacramento Shooters Get Away With the
Valuable Selby Trophy.

Sacramento Shooters Get Away With the
Valuable Selby Trophy.
The great State inter-club shooting match
came off at San Jose yesterday for the selby
$500 trophy and large sweepstake sack of
coin. The teams were composed of five
men each, and Sacramento was represented
by a group from the Pacific Sportsmen's
Club, consisting of ]. NJ. Morrison, C. E.
Mack, Jr., Louis Nicolaus, William King
and Adam Damn. The entrance fee was
500, and each team was to shoot at 100
pigeons, five ground traps being used.
The general impression about town was
that the Sacramento team had little chance
OF winning good place, as its members
were not accustomed to shooting away
from their own grounds, and also because
1t was believed they would have harder
birds to shoot than they find at home.
Hence, the following telegram to the
RECORD UNION, received early last evening
caused both surprise and jubilation in
shooting circles when its contents were
made known:
SAN JOSE, October 9th.
Sacramento wins the Selby trophy. Morrison
klIled ~ pros straight; King l9, Mack l9, Nico-
laus II, Damn IA. C. e MACK, Jr.
The score shows that the Sacramento
men had to shoot to win their honors, as
50 birds out of 100 is a first-class score.
There has been considerable friendly
rivalry between the Pacific and Forester
clubs OF this city, and the probability now
Is that the town won't be big enough to
hold them both for a week. to come or
until the sudden swelling leaves the heads
of the Pacifics.

MOUNTAIN TEA.
T. NJ. Lash Puts the Lash Upon His City
Partner.

Partner.
If anybody thinks there isn't money in
patent medicines, he has but to step into
the County Clerks Office and peruse the
voluminous complaint filed there by T. NJ.
Lash against Joseph ]. Spieker, when he
will most likely have his doubts dispelled.
The plaintiff claims to be the discoverer of
certain medicinal decoctions, in the manu-
facture and sale of which the defendant,
Spieker became interested as partner.
He (Lash) was to do the travelling and sell
ing of the medicines. while the general
conduct of the business was to be looked
after by his city partner.
Lash must be conhding sort of an indi
yldual, for he complains that after some
five years prosecution of the business, and
when he supposed he was several thousand
dollars ahead, Spieker represented that he
LASH owed him some $4,000 and that
plaintiff was induced to sign note for
$o 600. Lash now claims that Spieker mis-
represented the facts to him; that he (Spie-
kerr had overcharged the firm some 81 900
for materials; appropriated like sum to
his own use, from debts collected; and that
he sold medicines and other property of
the firm to the amount of 81 600, for none
of which he has accounted.
Plaintiff states that, as the result of an
inspection of the firms books since. 1884,
he learns that they earned about SIS 600,
and that his share should have been So, 500
or over. He now wants the partnership
dissolved, an accounting of its affairs made,
and receiver appointed. He also prays
that the $1,000 note be delivered up by or
der of the Court; that the property, money
and accounts of the firm be divided, and
that he be awarded the amount of his
costs.
The complaint prays for an injunction,
restraining defendant from further transac-
tons on behalf of the firm, and Judge
Armstrong granted a temporary restrain
ing order, pending further proceedings.
The claims mace by the plaintiff of great
profits In the manufacture and sale of his
patent medicines, recalls the elrly history
OF the famous Walkers Vinegar Bitters.
Some twenty hve years ago man named
Walker, who had failed to make a salts
factory living by other means, conceived the
idea of getting up cheap decoction with
Laxative properties, and working it off upon
the public at good profit, but without
charging much for it. He rented shed
and went 10 work on his vinegar bitters.
The ingredients were few, simple and cheap,
and he found no difficulty in loading up
MS hand cart with fresh supplies eyery
day. Almost before he knew it he was
rich (tor he advertised liberally) and then
be sold out his vinegar mine to a firm that
made several millions out of it.
The most singular thing in connection
with Walkers success was that he had not
conceived the trick of letting his hair grow
down upon his shoulders, as is the fashion
at the present time of other street fakirs.

BLAKELY'S BATH.
His Labor-Saving Ideas Do Not Prove
Very Practicable.

his Labor-Sav1ng Ideas Do Not Prove
Very Practicable.
a man named Blakely is employed as a
teamster by D. Gardner, who keeps wood
yard on l street. On Tuesday afternoon
Blakely was set to work at hauling guam
tity of brush and dumping it into China
slough. He loaded mp heavy truck and,
arriving at the bank of the slough, the
idea struck him that he could save consid-
cradle time and labor by backing the truck
close to the waters edge and then showing
off the brush.
He carried out his idea-but to a farther
extent than he intended.
He backed the team too far, and wagon,
horses and himself slid into the putrid
pool. Blakely managed to scramble up on
the bank without getting very wet, but the
wagon had completely disappeared from
view, and only the noses of the horses were
visible above the surface
Mr.. Gardner arrived Just in time to wit.
ness the accident, and at once called to the
halt-dozen men in his employ to go the
rescue. By means of a boat one of the
horses was freed from the wagon, and got
ashore. The other became unmanageable,
and broke away from the men before thew
had unloosened the harness. The animal
was exhausted and was about to sink, when
one OF Mr. Gardeners sons succeeded in cut
ing the harness and the animal was pulled
ashore. Some time afterward the truck
was also hauled out of the water.

THE FO0L-KILLER WANTED.
A Rattle-Headed Idiot Who Should Nevel
Have Been Born.

a Rattle-Headed Idiot Who Should Never
Have Been Born.
Just after dark last evening the down.
town portion of the city was startled by
two loud reports in quick succession com.
ing from the vicinity of Third and K
streets. They sounded like explosions of
a big horse-pistol or a double barreled
shotgun, and people came running from
all directions to see who was slain and
learn the cause thereof
But there was no blood on the moon last
night, and nobody was hurt. The explo-
sions were caused by some "smart aleck''
placing couple of railroad bombs on the
K street car track.
Nobody could be found who witnessed
the act, and the perpetrator of the chestnut
joke has probably too much discretion to
inform on himself, even though he is 9TH
erwise devoid of sense. This supposed
smart trick is pra:ticed every once in a
while, and if any rascal can be caught at it
he should be made an example of. Ex-
plosions of this character-eyen though
they should do no other damage-are liable
to throw weak-nerved lady occupants of a
car into Mysteries, and people have been
known to receive shocks from similar
causes from which they never recovered.
The whipping post is the right thing for
any loafer caught in the act.

RELIGIOUS CONFERENCE.
Annual Convention of the United Brett

| Brethren in Christ, met in their church, on
| the corner of Fourteenth and X streets,
yesterday at 2-3o P. N. Bishop ]. w. HIATT,
D. D., is the newly-elected President of the
Coast District. For twenty four years DR..
HIATT sat at every quadrenium in the highest
ecclesiastical body of his Church. For
twelve years he was the efficient editor of
the official organ of his Church, one of the
best religious papers in the land, the Re.
Ligious Telescope, published at Dayton, O.
The doctor has also written a charming
book on his Journeyings in the Old
World" The Bishop has a warmth of
heart and manner, which evidently met
with response in the hearts of his audi
ence.
The Conference strikes one as an earnest,
devoted body of men. They do business
promptly, and many citizens will no doubt
avail themselves of the privilege of attend
ing the daily sessions.
The Conference was organized by the
election of D. Shuck formerly Bishop as
Chairman, 10 assist the Bishop. w. G..
Day, d. D.. was elected Secretary.
w. c.. Day, D. D., was received on his
lAouoicI lIOIu MldIll conference.

fer from Central Ohio Conference.
Rev. L. Keister, A. NJ, received on trans
fer from Allegheny Conference" Pennsyl-
vania.
The times set for the sessions are A. NJ.
P. N. and 1880 P. NJ. each day.
Rev. F. Forbes was received on his Gre

row night.
Tomorrow night the California branch
OF the Women's Missionary Association of
the United Brethren's Church will hold
public service in the church, and on Satur-
day night Bishop HIATT will preach the
Q erence sermon.
Last night Bishop HIATT preached on:
Lest the Cross of Christ Become of No
Effect"
1t would be difficult to describe the pa.
thos, sublimity and force of the sermon, as
the speaker showed his hearers the cross as
the revelation of God.
Then the Bishop called on Miss Cling
rich, Professor of Music in the San Joaquin
Valley College, to make an application of
the sermon in song.
The public are cordially invited to attend
all services

They Spring Up and Flourish in Adobe
and Sediment.
Carl Strobel, who resides at 500 n street.
yesterday exhibited at the RECORD u MON
office thrifty specimen of the date
palm grown from the seed in his
yard. The plant was one of a large
number Mr.. Strobel found growing
in his yard as a volunteer crop, as
they were from seeds thrown away by
the children while eating the fruit. Some
OF the plants were growing in the original
adobe soil of the lot and others in the
sediment used in filing other portions.
There can be no question as to the plant
being the date palm. as when taken up the
seed Is found almost attached to the root.
Passing along the west side of Third
street, near K, Mr.. Strobel noticed plant
growing close 10 the curb -stone which at
tracted his attention on account of the SIM
ilarity to the plants growing in his yard. A
closer examination proved that this was
also date palm. Certainly the soil and
climate of Sacramento is wonderful when
the date palm will grow between the cob
ble-stones.

Florin Grapes Netting the Growers
S134 so Ton in Boston.
E. Oppenheim, who has vineyard in the
Florin grape district, received returns from
Boston day or two ago on the sale of
shipment of lis half crates of Tokay grapes.
1t was part of full carload lot sent from
Florin, and the price obtained was fair
average for grapes of similar variety.
The fruit was sold by H. Harris & Co., for
the California Fruit Union, the car load
bringing 1924. Mr.. Oppenheim's ship
ment brought 81 25 per half crate, or lii
cents a pound. After deducting all ex-
penses for freight, commissions, etc, his
grapes netted him clear profit of sl34 80
per ton.
The Florin grape growers have done re-
markably well this season, realizing hand
some profits on their Eastern sales. The
result will give that locality high stand
ing as a grape-growing district. In fact,
