An Injured Negro Robbed by His Own
Associates.
Police officer Cunningham was detailed
yesterday to recover watch which had
been stolen from rural visitor, and began
his search on L street. Among the places
he visited was low dive on that street
between Third and Fourth, which is
frequented almost exclusively by negroes.
Just as he pushed the door open, he saw a
burly negro named Robert Jackson deal
another but smaller man of color heavy
blow upon the neck, telling him like log.
The officer Immediately placed the man
under arrest, and asked the bystanders to
take care of the man who had been
struck-who was unconscious from the eff.
feet Of the blow-until he returned. The bv-
ISLANDERS did take care of him-they carried
him into back room and cleaned out his
pockets, not even leaving him a toothpick.
When Cunningham returned he saw at
glance what had taken place, but he could
learn nothing as to who tn perpetrators of
the robbery were. He conveyed the in.
Jured man to the Receiving Hospital,
where be now lies in a dszed and semi
conscious condition. He was not able to
give his name to the officer.

KINsPEL's FEELINGS.
He Thinks Somebody Should be Jailed
to SOOthe Them

to Soothe Them.
Several days ago Isaac Kinspel, who
keeps a little dry goods and furnishing
store on K street, purchased a lob lot OF
collars and cuffs at Sherburn's auction
house. w. S. Dodd was the auctioneer
who knocked the goods down to Kinspel
for 40 cents dozen.
On Saturday last Dodd wanted a pair OF
cuffs and went into Kinspel's place to buy
pair. Kinspel handed out some of the
very cuffs which Dodd had sold him,
Dodd thought, OF course, that he was going
to get the cuffs very cheap, knowing, as be
did, the price which Kinspel paid for
them.
How much ?n asked Dodd.
"Ihirty-tive cents pair" said Kinspel,
without finch.
What" roared Dodd. 'Whv. Won
bought them of me for 40 cents dozen"
kinspel didn't care though. and refused
to come down in his price.
Dodd got mad, and after informing Kins-
pei that he ''wonld give $10O to see an hon
est Jew" left the place.
Then Rinspel got mad, too, and hasten
ing to the police station, swore out war
rant for Dodd's arrest, alleging that his
peace had been disturbed.
Before the warrant had been served upon
him, Dodd had cooled off considerably,
and went to Kinspel and apologized. Kins,
pei was willing to forgive and forget, but
bis wife insisted that the apology was not
sufhcient to soothe his wounded feelings.
and insisted that Dodd be prosecuted.
Kinspel obeyed, and as result Dodd ap-
peared ID the Police Court yesterday as
defendant. Both he and the Kinspels told
their stories. and Judge Buckley promptly
ordered the case dismissed.

Alleged Crooked Transac,;ons

Officer Rider yesterday arrested here a
man named George F. Cox, who is sup
posed to be the man charged at Marysville
with having passed a $50 worthless check.
He, however, claims that he is not the man.
and that he is solicitor for San Francisco
newspaper. In conversation with the DO
ice 1t was learned that Cox yesterday went
to A. S. Hopkins-to whom he once sold a
bill OF goods as agent for the Pacific PAPER
Company-and offered him a check on that
company for $40. Mr. Hopkins let him
have the money, and sfterward telegraphed
70 the company TO know if it was all right.
He received reply to the effect that Cox

telegraphed TO brother in Elgin, III, for
$50 TO help him out of his scrape.

Sidney S. Landeshutt, the English fraud
who robbed several people in Sacramento
about twelve years ago, is receiving great
deal of attention at the hands of newspa.
per reporters in New York these days. He
has abandoned his proposed trip to Califor-
mia, it seems, and is talking of crossing the
Atlantic again. 1t is more than likely,
however, that Mr.. Landeshu,t's next ocean
Trip will be across the Pacific, and that
he will have company on the way.
While in Australia last year he continued
his swindling practices, and the particulars
OF his operations were published in the
RECORD UNION at the time. A resident of
this city who has kept trace of the fellow
has notified Inspector Byrne, of New York.
OF some things not known to the police of
that city, and the chances are that Lande-
SHUT will not go to England right away.
Landeshutt is an inveterate gambler, and

cuie money with which to fight the tiger.

BASEBALL MATTERS.

Standing of the League Batters-Eastern
Pitchers for Sacramento.
The averages of the ten highest batters
in the California League, up to the 18th,
are as follows: Hardie, Ala; Hanley, .327 !;
Stockwell, .30s; Daley, 3OS; Ebright,
.307; Veach, 800; Farrell, 800; Howard,
.292; Shea, .29O; Dooley, 2s7.
During Newbert's engagement with Sac
ramento he las made 81 singles, 8 doubles,
5 triples and home-runs. His average
was 255.
Long leads in base-stealing. with Good
enough very close second. In fact there
is only difference of five or six steals.
The Sporting Life says: There is no
hope for the Sacramentos until a respect
able management gets hold of the team"
The Directors a few days ago deposed
Manager SERVER and appointed Billy Nc
Laughlln instead. A wholesale shaking
up in the nine is expected, and it was an
nounced the other day among the ball
players that il would not occasion any sur
prise if O'Day, Zeigler, Goodeneugh, Nc
Sorley, Burke and Roxburg were released
this week. The last-named player has
written agreement with the management
guaranteeing that he would be held on the
payroll for the balance of the season, but
the catcher places little faith in the value
of the document
The Call says: "The existence of cliques
in the nine has not been abolished, and in
the light of recent facts that have cropped
out it would appear the Eastern men have
the upper hand and home talent is at a dis
count. Veach has made himself solid with
majority of the stockholders, and pro-
poses to do away with most of the Califor-
MIA boys in the team and substitute East
ern men. One thing that was announced
yesterday by gentleman who is in posi-
ton to know gives coioring to the story of
Veach's latest llans. Two Eastern ball
tossers are now on their way to the coast
with Sacramento contracts in their pockets,
and are expected here this week. They are
Phenomenal Smith, who pitched great
ball for Newark at one time, and lately did
boxwork for Baltimore, and Van DYKE.
catcher and third baseman, who recently
was in the Ohio State League Smith, it
was stated, will relieve Burke, but what
position Van Dyke will play is not known"
The Sacramento Club is indeed in de.
moralized state. Manager Green's accu-
sations against Burke and McSorley. of
selling games, have caused an uproar in
the nine. Burke and McSorley indignant.
ly deny all the charges, and threaten to
make Green appear in Court and prove his
assertions or else pay damages for libel.
The other members of the nine are also
quite weary, and in fact baseball nine in
this city was never before in such a de-
condition.

After the Fair.

The city has settled down to its normal
condition once more, now that the fair is
over and the crowds Of strangers have de-
parted. 1t was about as respectable fair
as was ever held here, and profitable to the
Society. The races, especially, were well
managed, and the credit therefor is largely
due to the excellent executive ability dis
played by Chris. Green, President of the
Society, who had the management thereof,
and presided each day in the judges stand.
There were no unnecessary delays, every
thing passed off harmoniously, and those
interested In the results of the races had
no complaints to make. The President
has been warmly complimented on his ex-
cellent management, but modestly claims
that his fellow Directors are entitled to a
full share of the credit due for the success
