CHARGE VS.. PROOF.

| shall charge and prove that there is not an
actual settler on the land grant from Pensacola
to Jacksonville, and from Amelia Island to
Tampa Bay and Cedar Keys, who does not owe
the possession of his home in some manner to
my efforts, and that there is not bona fde pur-
chaser OF the same land who does not owe and
will not owe his having title to his land to nv
eforts.-Senator Calls Letter.
We "charge and can prove" that the
above extract is absurd, and the reverse
Of the statement much nearer the truth
If mere charges were proof, what an
abundance of evidence our Senator would
have at his command.
He deliberately stated on the floor of
the United States Senate that the school
fund of the State of Florida, the proceeds
of 100000 acres of land, was sold under
an order of Mr.. Justice Woods, then of
the Circuit Court of the United States,
pay the obligations Of Mr.. Dickinson in
the purchase of the road from Fernandna
to Tampa and Cedar Keys. OF course
there was not particle of truth in it,
but the falsehood went out to the country
with Senator's endorsement.
He stated before the investigating
committee Of the United States Senate
that nineteen-twenteths of the land in
the State of Florida was as high and dry
as the top Of the Capitol " at Washing
ton. There is no one familiar with the
topography Of the State but knows that
such a statement is beyond the bounds of
extravaganza itself After such declara-
tions, are we astonished at anything the
Senator says? Hundreds of actual set
tiers on the line Of road referred to had
"possession of their homes" and their
lands paid for long before Mr.. Call was
ever elected to the United States Senate
Those lands have been transferred by one
owner to another, portions of them nearly
thirty years ago, without the titles ever
having been questioned, but, on the con-
trary, endorsed by the highest authority.
No one ever doubted those titles, and the
owners slept in conscious security until
Senator Call came to cast cloud over
their acknowledged rights to their homes.
Fortunately for those settlers, no court in
the land would listen to the Senator's
hallucinations, and every utterance he
makes but further displays his utter
ignorance of the question.

Twelve red-eyed and yawning Jurors

day morning and took the seats which they
had occupied for the past week during the
Andy Woodson rape case.
They had been celebrating all night

at them told the attorneys and spectators
that their breakfast had not had the effect
OF bringing Them any nearer an agreement.
Well, gentlemen, have you agreed upon

The foreman ofthe jury replied that they
had not, and added that there was 10 pros
peCt of their agreeing, even though they
were locked mp for week longer
Judge Van Fleet heaved a deep sigh, and
formally dismissed the jury in the follow
lowing language:
The jury in this case having had the
same under consideration since its submits
sion to them for the period of twenty
hours, and coming into Court now and an
nouncing that there is no reasonable prob

no reasonable probability that a verdict

ordered by the Court that the jury be and
they are hereby discharged from any

Judge Van Fleet Frowns Upon the Indian
I Custom of Staying "Medicine Men,.
Charles Turner, Pit liver Indian, was
sentenced to ten years imprisonment in
Folsom some time ago for killing 'medi.
cine man" OF mis- own tribe in Modoc
county. The Pits have q tradition that
when medicine man" fails to cure
patient the latter's relatives are justified in
killing the unsuccessful doctor. Turner's
brother died, and Turner slew the doctor
who had failed TO save him. For this he
wss arrested by the white authorities and
convicted of manslsughter.
Turner appeared with his attorney,
Judge Spencer, of Lsssen county, before
Superior Judge Van Fleet yesterday on q
writ OF ha6ess corpus. The Supreme Court
issued the writ several weeks ago, end
made 1t returnable before the Superior
Court Of Sacramento county.
Judge Spencer argued that the State
Courts had no jurisdiction over the mater,
and il was only 8 case for the United States
Courts. The attorney said it was a com.
mon thing for Indians to kill their "msdi.
cine men" and the whites had never be-
fore interfered with their customs and be-
hefs. He SAID there could be no criminal
intent because Turner had only done some
thing which he had been taught was right
since childhood.
Judge Van Fleet could not gee the wis
dom IN the Indian custom nor in the at
torney's argument, SD he dismissed the
writ and ordered Turner back 10 Folsom.

With the Athletes.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Sacramento Athletic Club last evening
steps were taken toward the further i'm
provement Of the clubrooms. An order
was made for the purchase Of a leaping-
board and attachments. AS it is necessary
to send to New York for this apparatus it
will be two or three weeks before il can be
placed in the gymnasium for the use of the
members. A leapiDg board is one of the
most popular attachments to gymnasium,
and affords no end of amusement for ex-
perts and novices alike. Progress on the
new billiard, reading and card rooms, which
are now in course of construction, were
discussed and approved OF, and it was the
unanimous opinion that these rooms will
also rove valuable and popular addition
to The club.

Fred Marty Loses His Barn, 100 Tons of
Hay and a Horse.
The large barn, together with 100 tons of
hay and horse, belonging to Fred Marty
adjoining the Golden Eagle Dairy, beyond
the Catholic Cemetery, went up in fire and
smoke last evening". The blaze started a
little before 5 o'clock, and the barn. though
large, was burned to the ground, with its
contents. The blaze was big one, and
people were attracted TO the scene from all
directions. The large stack of hay burned
for hours after the barn was burned, and it
will probably be some days before the fire
is fully extinguished. How the fire orig
mated was a mystery 10 the owner. He
estimates his loss at $1,000.
About an hour and quarter after the
fre had started an alarm was turned in
from box 90. at Twentieth and o streets,
and the fire engines turned out, but of
course could do nothing outside the CITY
limits toward suppressing fire.

QUAIL AND DEER.
A Convenient Hunting Ground Where
Game is Plentiful.

A Convenient Hunting Ground Where
Game is Plentiful.
One often hears the inquiry made by
local sportsmen-whose business prevents
them from making frequent visits to the
country-"Where can a fellow get good
quail For the benefit Of all
such it can truibfully be said that excellent
quail shooting can be had at almost any
point along the line of the Placerville Rail-
road beyond Latrobe. Residents about
Shlngie Springs claim that the birds are
more plentiful in that vicinity than else
where, while others say that between that
place and Placerville the shooting was
never so good as it is this season.
AT Dugans Station, some four miles
beyond Latrobe, there are any quantity OF
quails, and also about the Bennett place,
between there and Single Springs. The
country is quite brushy, it is true, all
through the foothills, but there are open
spots, covered with high grass or wild oats,
which afford pleasant shooting and fair
opportunities for settlers or pointers to do
good work. Where the chaparral is denser
any dog that will go into the thickets and
drive the birds from their hiding places
will enable a good shot to bag many birds
in day.
All along the railroad between Latrobe
ana Single Springs deer are now more
plentiful than they have been within the
memory of the Oldest inhsbitant. Droves
OF from four to eight have frequently been
seen this season within few yards of the
railroad, and one gentleman-a railroad
section man-claims to have seen thirty
within the last three weeks while going
back and forth over bis section. There are
many little vineyards about that locality,
and the deer come to them every night to
eat the grapes. OF which they are very fond
The farmers about there rarely take the
time to hunt them, hence they have been
allowed to increase.
Gentlemen shooters, who know how to
appreciate genuine hospitality, are allowed
to shoot over these ranches. and can find
good accommodations az convenient places
to the best quail aud deer grounds
Experienced spOrtsmen are aware that
quall-shooling involves constant walking
and hard work under the most favorable
circumstances. Hence no person need go,
even where the birds are plentiful, expect.
