the latter was dismissed, on motion of the
City Attorney. The testimony of the prose-
cutting witness, an old Chiaaman, wss
heard, as he lived out in the country and
could not conveniently come in every
time be was wanted. There was q
great deal OF amusement created by
the way in which the old fellow
gave his testimony, he having preferred to
talk English rather than explain through
an interpreter. His version of the affair
was quite plausible. and the attorney for
the defense was unable to make him con-
tradict himself From his testimony it ap-
peared that yesterday morning, little be-
fore o'clock, he was coming to town to
buy vegetables when he was stopped on
the corner of Tenth and P streets by two
men. One of them first took away his
watch and then forcibly relieved him of
q purse containing $40 in silver. They
afterwards gave him back the watch but
kept the coin. The victim told them he
would inform the police, and continuing
on his way down town he met officers
Franks and Brady. He told them of the
robbery, and they walked back in the
direction of where the Chinaman was stood
up, when two men, one of them being
Vantine passed them, and the Mongol i'm
mediately identified Butch" as being the
party who robbed him. He also identified
one of the dollar pieces which was found in
Vantine's pocket.
After the complaining witness testi-
mony had been heard the case was contin-
ued, at the request of the defense, until
Tuesday next. The officers are of the
opinion that Vantine is liable to go to the
State Prison this time.

Engineer Halls Epistles to the Capitol
onians Go Unanswered.
In San Francisco, on Friday, Chronicle
reporter met VIM. Ham. Hall on the street
and asked him what he had to say of his
removal by the Governor from the River
Commission.
"Just this" answered Mr.. Hall, ''since
May 2Sth 1 have sent three commuuica-
tons to the Governor, expressing my de-
sire to resign unless he specially wanted
me to remain on the Commission. / told
Waterman substantially the same thing by
word of mouth, and, Furthermore informed
Boruck that he might tell it to the Gov
ernor officially that my resignation was at
his disposition whenever he should in
innate desire to have it. No notice was
taken of the communications, and the first
| knew he removed me because | was in
eligible, holding or about to hold posi-
ton under the Federal Government. l
have had no trouble with the old gentle
man and have not the slightest idea how l
could have offended him, but l would like
to see my communications to him made
public"
Perhaps Waterman has never read
them" suggested the reporter.
Il don't know about that" replied Hall :;
there may be something in that. but if l
were you l would send to Sacramento for
those papers and get them at once, or they
may be garbled. If they are, though, can
furnish you with correct copies" and Mr.
Hall opened his coat and showed bundle
of typewriter papers.
Il have now been three months on the
River Commission, and propose to submit
a report on what | have done. Although
the Attorney General says am eligible to
the River Commission position, l am not
disposed to stand in any one else's way.
My letters show such to be the case"

Oaklands continued to bat him just the

STOCKTON, June 29;h.-It was a mean
trick that Sweeney played on San Francisco
to-day. He sneaked over to the bench and
stole Powers mascot dog. and the conse-
quences were that San Francisco mar
rowly escaped being shut out, it taking
three errors in the ninth inning, after two
men were out, to get in one solitary run.
The Stocktons played strong, steady
game, piiing up seven runs. Harper
pitched grand game, being nit for only
five singles, three being decidedly
'scratchy," and he sent but one man to
first on balls. Meegan was hit for six
singles and four triples. Whitehead
played great short, in spite of his two
errors, and Sweet and Fairhurst did great
work behind the bat. Following is the
score:
