A LABOR OF LOVE
Messrs. Carpenter and Irwin's Efforts in
Behalf of Drager and Olsen.

"essrs. carpenter and Irwin's Efforts in
Behalf of Drager and Olsen.
g. J. Carpenter, of Placerville, who is
| here with Judge Irwin On behalf of the
condemned men, William Drager and John
Olsen, seeking Communication of their sen.
fences, said to RECORD UNION reporter
yesterday that public opinion in Ell Dorado
county is practically unanimous against
the execution of these unfortunate men.
Il am positive" said Mr.. Carpenter
that | could get the signature of every
man within radius of ten miles of Placer.
vile to the petition in their behalf. Nine
OF the Jurors that We have been able to see
have signed it.n
Why this remarkable change in public
sentiment?' he vas asked.
We'll" replied Mr. Carpenter, "the
more the people have studied the circum-
stances of the Lowell tragedy, and the bet
ter they have become scq1ainten with the
characters OF DFager and Olsen, the more
convinced they have become tbst these
men were led, step by step, and innocentlv.
INTO a participation III the crime. That
they had the slightest idea of committing
or participating in p crime of any
sort when they went with Myers TO
the Lowell ranch, nobody now be-
lieVes. They are ignorant men and
OF dull mental perception. The nufortu.
Eate affair developed undar peculiar cir
cnmsances, and before the men were fullv
aware OF the situation, or its terrible re-.
suits, crime had been committed. and a.
to what followed-the theft of the horses
aud the various stories told Of the affair
these were natural enough. AT ali events.
they were not crimes that call for the lives
OF these men. There was no mur6erous
intent shown on the part of these Two uU-
sophisticated wood-chorpers, and the neo-
pie up our way n0W think that they would
life" A-' -''
VI course you have not been able TO Law
The matter before the Goyernor?1
No, he is absent from the city; but we
have theassUrance thatnothinc will he done
IN the cases OF these men until we shall have
had chance TO present the petition to him
and make our arguments
1T looks like 5 labor of love, entirely"
added the reporter.
Yes, said Mr.. Carpenter, that's Just
what 1t is. These men are friendless and |
pennies, and even though We succeed |
IN saving their lives there will be |
nothing in II for US, financially. We have
been to great deal of trouble aud no little |
expense already. but we believe these poor
fellows should not be banged, and intend |
to see the matter through. That they |
should be punished, of course there can be |
no doubt, and imprisonment for lite ought |
to be punishment enough"

THE NELSON CASE.
His Counsel Endeavoring to Procure fo
Him Another Hearing.

~ L AOSUAS AOT
Him Another Hearing.
1t had been Judge Armstrong; inten-
ton 10 pass sentence yesterday on George
Nelson, who was recently convicted of
highway robbery. ]. C. Tubbs, Nelson's
counsel, had, however interposed a motion
for new trial, and yesterday placed upon
the stand a witness By whom it was sought
to show that the real perpetrator of the
crime for which Nelson was convicted has
not been apprehended.
This witness testified that some time
after the robbery referred to he was stopped
by man on the road 10 the American
bridge, abo1t hundred yards beyond the
north leVee. He attended the trial Of Mel
son. and the description of the robber given
by the men who claimed to have been
stopped by Nelson tailed with that of the
man who stopped the witness some DAYS
afterward
The object of Nelson's counsel is, of
course, to show that be (Nelson) did not
commit the robbery for which be was
convicted, but that it was the work of
the man subsequently, seen in that vicinity.
The matter was continued until Friday
next

Back From His Summer Resort.

Handsome" Brady showed Up in all his
elegance in Jail yesterday morning. Some
time ago Chief Lee sent him 10 Auburn to
work on his ranch there, and Brady stuck
to the job until a nickle got within his
grasp. Then he would cast off his work
ing clothes and make for the city to enjoy
life in the old style. Brady has stayed on
the place, Notwithstanding his occasional
"toots, for quite long time, and he sur
prised the Chief yesterday by stepping out
OF one OF the cells when the jailer opened
the door. He said he had been on the
road three days. had just arrived, and
could assure the Chief the ranch was all
there when he left. When leaving he took
one long wisiful glance back at the old
place, as huge mountain was about to OBJ
struct the view and forever part him from
the scene of his summer vacation He re-
joiced in the hope, however, that Sacra-
mento might sTill be down in the valley,
and that there was sn empty bunk In
Larry FarrelPs hotel on which he could
rest his weary limbs.

trestlework near the town of Washington,
but fortunately did not kill him. The man,
who is a Mexican, saw the train approach

upon the edge of the trestlework, thinking
he was out of danger. The engine passed
all right, but the steps of one of the cars
struck him on the head and knocked him
off the trestle,
He was picked up by Justice Newton, of
Washington, and brought to the Receiving
Hospital in this city, where it was found
that the only injuries sustained were some
bruises on the side and back of his head
and also on the arm. He was well enough

GOOD SUGGESTION.
An Oakland Sportsman's Views on Deer
Protection

An Oakland Sportsman's Views on Deer
Z Protection.
There is an excellent point contained in
the following communication on the sub.
ject of how to protect the deer from ex-
termination by hide-hunters and other
vandals. As ii is, it costs no more to kin a
deer out of season than it does a Quail or
dove, and the penalty is laughed at BY the
hide-hunters of the mountains, for whom
it has ne terrors. Our correspondent writes
ike man who understands his subject, as
well as one who is at heart a true sports
man. He says:
EDS RECORD UNION: The writer. with
party OF gentlemen from this city. have
lust returned from hunting trip in the
oiskiyou and Trinity mountains, west of
the railroad, and in the vicinity of Gala
bans Ranch. We found great scarcity of
deer, both last year and this season. caused
by skin-hunters destroying b.th does and
lawns. As an illustration Of the wholesale
sianghter, 1 viii state, upon good authority,
TWO men By the name of Cook and Butler
XII each season, npon the south fork OF
Codee creek, 5e1 deer, and sell the same 10
9 man located at mining camp called
French Flat.
Inc settlers say that they would prose
cute these men, if the law would Justify
them, which at present il does not. For
instance, II they should inform upon the
men mentioned, they would have 10 travel
a distance of ninety miles TO the county
seat, swear 10 the warrant and then again
travel this distance, and give their iime
as witnesses, aud all for a compensation of
S25, or one half Of the award
You will easily see that the penalty is
not severe enough 10 meet cases Of his
kind, which certainly must list all over
the State. The settlers with whom | have
conversed calm that $500 fine, or three
years Imprisonment would uot be too
severe, and it would then induce them TO
inform upon these violators of the law.
And, further, the law shauld be such as 10
enable them to prosecate these men at the
first town in the vicinity, ana not be com.
PEELED to go 80 OF 100 miles to 60 it.
II Your paper viii only advocate some
such change in the law as has been sug-
gested, and induce some leeislator 10 take
this matter in hand the next ses ion, you
wi! play a winning card with the northern
settlers. ], S. JouNsoy

sixty Days in Jail for Youth who As
saulted His Father.
Lawrence Bennett, young man who,
within the past year, has repeatedly figured
in the Police Court, was sent to Jail for
sixty days yesterday. The charge was that
of disturbing the peace, the prosecuting
witness being the lads own father. It was
brought out in the testimony that young
Bennett picked up coupling pin and was
about 10 use it on his old gray haired
father, because the latter would not give
him watch aud chain which be (the son)
had paTned, bat which had been redeemed
by the parent.
Judge Buckley stated that if it was within
keeping with the dignity of the Court, he
might say that Bennett was getting 10 be
too much of 8 chestnut" in the Police
Court for so young man. If heneedsd TO
exercise his muscle, he could find plenty of
other WAYS than the one he had chosen.
The Judge thought the best way to keep
him out of mischief would be vacation
in the county Jail, and he was sent there for
sixty days.

Probably the Right Man.

A Placer county paper says that there is
no doubt that Henry Williamson, who was
arrested in this city last Sunday is the
Forest Hill stage robber, for whom a big
reward is out. His voice and manner and
The size of him all tally with those Of the
robber. Then. he spells his name "Henerv
Williamson" That "Henery" business is
thought TO be the dead wood on him. They
say If he had owned the name of Henry
any length of time he would have known
the correct spelling. And yet everyone has
the right to spell name as be or she
pieases. 1t is not unlawful TO spell Henery
when other folks put it Henry.
