SOUTHERN SOPHISTRY.
THE ALLEGED HOSTILITY TO MR.. HAN
COCK DOWN SOUTH.
Strange Misconception of the Duties of
the Superintendent of Fruit
Exhibition.

A REcoRD-UEIoE reporter yesterday
called upon George W. Hances one OF
the Directors of the State Boar, If Agri-
culture, in reference TO the telegram from
Los Angeles-published in this paper yes
terday-stating that much feeling existed
there in opposition to his appointment as
Superintendent of the Citrus Fair to be
held in that city. Mr.. Hancock explained
that, as the fair was TO be held under the
auspices of the State Agricultural Society
that body had, as required by law, desig-
mated one of its officers to have general
charge of the exhibition and of the expend
iture of the appropriation made by the Leg.
isture. The following conversation then
ensued:
Reporter--"When was your appointment
made by the BoardG"
Mr.. Hancock" About the middle oil
last month"
Reporter Why did the Board select
you to discharge this duty ?n
Mr.. Hancock-"Well, l have been q
member of that body for twelve years past
l was the first to suggest the holding of q
citrus fair in Central California, and was
made its Superintendent. The exhibition
proved remarkable success"
Reporter Is it necessary that the Super.
intendent of such fair should be himself
Judge of the quality of citrus fruits?"
Mr.. Hancock with smile)-"Why, no.
not at all. Committees are always selected
to pass upon the merits of the exhibits.
Nobody ever supposed that the Directors OF
the State Agricultural Society. who really
superintend and manage the State Fai s.,
were competent TO pass judgment upon all
the exhibits made. The idea is preposterous.
A Superintendent duty is to manage the
eXhibition-see that the money is properly
used, ETC."
Reporter-"Then you have no intention
of debating to the exhibitors at the Los
Angeles Fair just how each shall place his
individual exhibit in the Pavilion, how he
shall arrange his pyramids of fruit, and
whether he shall drape a star-spangled
banner over his stall or decorate it with
fancy papers%
Mr.. Hsncock-"H Hardly; but think you
have pretty correct estimate Of the idea
that seems to have been put into the heads
of the people down there"
Reporter-"You purpose conducting the
business intrusted to you in such way,
doubtless, as will be to the best interests of
the people of the southern orange growing
counties ;"
Mr.. Hancock-"Most certainly 1 do;
there will be no fruit from the northern
California citrus belt allowed at the Los
Angeles exhibition. Everything shall be
done to the perfect satisfaction of the peo-
pie down there"
Reporter-"Is this alleged adverse feeling
general down that way-has it been grow
ing for any length of time, so far as you
know"
Mr.. Hancock-''I don't think it is gen.
eral, and l had heard nothing of it until
read the telegram in the RECORD UNION
this morning. And, from the fact that my
appointment was made come six or seven
weeks ago, think the report must have
been manufactured in Los Angeles during
the present week by member of our Board
who is hostile to me-"

SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
Nevis Sues His Old Partners for Alleged
Violation of a Compact.

Nevis Sues His Old Partners for Alleged
Violation of a Compact.
Pending the issue in Judge Van Fleets
Court of the motion of defendants to dis
solve the order restraining Manuel ]. and
Joaquin L. Azavedo from using the brand
Eagle Winery" on the wines sold by
them, the plaintiff, W. S. Nevis, yesterday
commenced another action sgainst the
same parties, through his attorneys, John
son, johnson & Johnson.
This one is to recover damages in the
sum of $4,000 from the tirst-named parties
for the alleged violation of contract en-
tered into between them and Nevis when
they dissolved partnership, on the 9th of
last April.
The agreement then entered into pro
vided that the Azavedos should sell the
Eagle Winery goods land none other at
retail, they engaging not to sell at whole
sale for the period of two years. Nevis, on
the other hand, agreed not to sell wines at
retail during that time. The agreement
provides that either party violating its
provisions should pay to the other the sum
of $500.
Nevis alleges that the defendants have
violated this stipulation, hence he sues for
damages in the sum named and for the
costs of suit.

1t Turns Up Long After His Property
Had Been Distributed.
Taylor & Holl, attorneys tor the estate of
B. A. Farr, deceased, yesterday filed in the
Superior Court petition for the probate of
the will of the deceased, and the proceed
ing brings to light rather novel condition
of affairs. Farr died on the 25th of March,
1885, and no will having been found, the
estate was duly administered upon in the
Superior Court, finally settled, and the
property distributed by the Court. The
only heir appearing was his widow, and
the property was awarded to her.
Tie proceedings consumed the time usu-
ally required in the settlement of an estate,
but subsequently a will was found. duly
executed by Farr on March 10, 1861, and
acknowledged before Samuel Cross, with
w. W. Bradley as witness. Under some
circumstances this fact might cause serious
legal complications, but fortunately the
terms of the will coincide exactly with the
Courts action in awarding the property to
Mrs. Fsrr. Therefore the will will doubt
less be admitted TO probate, according to
the petition, and the property remain I'M

DELAYED Trains.

The second. class overland train, due
here from the East at $50 yesterday morn
ing, arrived at 1880 last night, having been
delayed in Nevada in consequence of the
track being blockaded by couple of Grip
pied locomotives.
The East. bound train from Los Angeles,
to connect with the 1890 P NJ. overland
express, did not reach here until IL o'clock
last night, but still was ahead of the ex-
press, which did not get IN from San Fran
cisco until 11:2e, and the Oregon express
followed the latter.

aGeuGE-EyE,sy SENSATION.
Safe-Crackers Do Bold Piece of Worl
at Pleasant Grove.


at Pleasant Grove.
On Wednesday night last the saloon of
Henry Klemp. at Pleasant Grove formerly
known as Gouge-eye), was entered by
burglars, large safe blown open, and the
contents taken. The safe-c cracking took
place about midnight. The report of the
explosion was heard, and the proprietor of
the place, whose residence was short
distance from the saloon, was awakened by
the noise. He got up and looked over to-
ward the saloon, but noticed light in the
place adjoining, and thought that the noise
was made in that house. 1t seems though,
that the parties in the latter place had also
heard the noise of the explosion, and had
got up to see what caused it.
Mr.. Kemp went over to the saloon
early in the morDIng and found the room
full OF smoke. The safe was shattered and
both doors blown off. The sum of 800
had been taken and several valuable papers
were DESTROYED by the powder used in the
cracking operation. Early that morning
three men were seen to cross the bridge,
coming this way from the town, and they
are suspected of the crime.
Officer Harris yesterday arrested in this
city man named Frank Royke on suspic-
ion of being connected with the robbery,
but he denies all knowledge of the affair.
There is said to be suspicion lurking in
the minds of the officers that Royke had
hand in one of the recent stage robberies in
Placer county.
Kemp has offered reward Of 800 for
the arrest of the burglar who did the bust
ness at Pleasant Grove.
WHAT TUE pprcoNrp save
Since the above was put in type Royke
has been doing little talking. He says
he left Ophir, Placer county, on Wednes-
day for this city, and reached Pleasant
Grove about 6 o'clock yesterday morning;
that he went and took look at the cracked
safe, and then started again for Sacramento.
His inspection of the safe must have had
bad effect on him, for he travelled with the
speed of an Indian runner, and splashed
through mud and mire, without tasting
food, in his haste to reach this haven of
rest.
Parties from Pleasant Grove say that no
stranger visited the scene of the burglary
at that hour, and that if Royke saw the
safe it must have been during the night. 1t
is said that he was discharged from the
Auburn Jail on Monday last.

The Goodell-Kellr Suit.

The suit of N. D. Goodell against Pat
rick Kelly, to recover the sum of $3.50 a.
legged to be due him for services as archi-
tect, in drawing plans for building which
Kelly is about to erect on l street, between
Sixth and Seventh, was tried yesterday in
Justice Henry's Court. Kelly refused &c
pay the claim on the ground, as he alleges,
that the building was not to cost more than
$4,000, and that nobody would contract to
erect it, under Goodell's plans, for that sum
Goodell testified that he told Kelly that
such building as he wanted might cost
more than 50 900.
After hearing the testimony the Court
continued the case until Saturday, when
Albert NJ. Johnson will argue the points al
issue on behalf of Goodell. and Z. NJ. Mar.
tin will do likewise for Kelly.

nesday evening, by being thrown from his
cart, on Tenth street, had his vehicle al

vehicle to go away from the shop without
replacing the nuts on the wheels. The re-

young man who claimed TO have witnessed

Conant and Hagan Acauitted.

A verdict of acquittal was returned yes
terday by the jury, in Judge Armstrong;
Court, in the case of the People against
James Conant and Daniel Hagan, who
were tried for burglary committed at Elk
Grove some months ago. The accused
were defended by c. n. Pest.
The evidence against the young men,
while OF a nature to throw suspicion on
them, was entirely circumstantial, render
ing a conviction somewhat doubtful rom
the start. The case was, however, strongly
presented by the prosecution, but the stat
utory " reasonable doubt" came effectually
to the rescue of the prisoners.
