Riding Through Burning Forest-The
Newspaper Man and the Buck.
F. T. Phillips, travelling agent of the
RECORD UNION, writes from Sisson, Siski-
you county, as follows: 1 arrived here
last evening from Bartell's place, on the
McCloud river. Coming up the mountains
from the head of Fall river valley, found
the forest all on fire for eight miles along
the road. Many large trees have been
burned, and in falling have INSTRUCTED the
road, making it difficult to travel, and even
dangerous. 1t was literally ride through
fire for miles. The brush and trees were
burning so close to the road that on several
occasions my buggy-robe caught fire. The
whole country is enveloped in a dense
cloud of smoke, and the traveller is almost
suifocated IL going through it. Great guam
titles OF valuable timber have been de-
stroyed, and some ranch Improvements.
While at Bartells place the writer was

In the first inning five men participated in
one double play. 1t was a pretty game,

In the sixth inning, with two men out,
he was sent an easy fly by Stickney, but

handsome animals. The finest of the lot
was the 4-year-old pacing mare, Zulu B, by
Zulu Chief, who has good record, and
promises to lower it this fall. Next was
the big trotter, Jim Blaine, by Oakland
Boy. Then followed Wsrendice, 2-year-
old stallion by Fallss. and Mr.. Gardner's
pride, Robert Elsmere, beautiful little
yearling, in whom Mr.. Gardner has great
hopes in connection with the fall year
ling stakes.
Here" said Mr.. Gardner. as the reporter
was about 10 take his leave, you don't
want to go away without seeing Wilbur
Smiths stable. It's not on the Park
grounds, but just across the street from the
entrance. Come along we'll go over"
Shifting the action to the word, he led the
way to the stables referred to. There
the reporter was shown some more flyers
that caused his eyes to glisten with admira-
ton.
Just look here s moment. said Mr.. Gard
ner, opening one of the box-stalls: here is
one of the best-bred wo-year-olds in the
country Kalabar is what they have
Wilkes is the sire and the dam is by Sui
tan; and then the pedigree runs way back
into several generations of thoroughbreds.
Mr.. Smith then appeared on the scene,
and after reiterating Mr.. Gardner's ssser-
tons regarding Kalabars aristocratic breed
ing showed the rest of his charges. There
were the 2:223 trotter Thapsin, by Ber-
lin; Nicola, by Sydney, a three-year-o ld,
who will trot under three minutes easy;
Big Liz, another handy mare, by Brigadier;
the two-year old Arthur, by Dawn; Ara
bella, by Berlin; the three-year-old stallion
Lloyd by Floyd, and the yearlings Falucca,
BY Guy Wilkes; Hamalane, by Fallas; and
Verago, by Antevelo. The pride of the stable
next to Kalabar is Tralee, by Sterling, who
is flyer of great promise.
Judging from what the scribe saw that
day-the fine condition of the animals
there is going to be some great racing this
fall, particularly at the State Fair in this
city.
There are large number of stables out
side of the Park grounds, where dozens of
flyers are being prepared for the circuits,
but these could not be visited.

JUDGMENT REVERSED.

The Supreme Courts Caustic Reference
to a Colusa County Jury.
A decision in the case of the People VS..
Stewart has been filed with the Deputy
Supreme Court Clerk of this district. The
defendSpt was convicted in Colusa county
of grand larceny, and appealed, on the
ground that the evidence was not sufficient
to support the verdict. Stewards convic-
ton was secured ON the testimony of one
Bryan, which was that Stewart had stolen
$3.50 from him. The Court finds that the
evidence was not sufficient to establish a
felonious taking of the money, and that
the verdict must have been the result of
passion and prejudice. The Judgment and
order are therefore reversed.

DRAGER AND OLSEN.

The Supreme Court Sees No Reason for
Disturbing the Verdict.
There was filed yesterday the decision of
the Supreme Court in the cases of John
Olsen and Henry Drager, the men now in
the Ell Dorado County Jail, who were con-
victed, with Harry Myers, of the murder
of John Lowell. Myers has already suffered
the laws penalty. The case went to the
higher Court on the judgment roll, the
evidence not being presented. After re-
viewing some OF the points on which the
appeal was taken, the Court says:
"What the evidence was, or what it
proved or tended to prove, we do not know,
as the evidence is not in the record, and in
the absence of such knowledge we do not
know that the instruction was wrong if it
would have been wrong in any state of the
evidence.
"The instructions of the lower Court
to the jury, at is within your
discretion to pronounce such SEN
tence as will relieve such defendant
from the extreme penalty of the law" is
criticised by the Court. 1t says the jury
should have been instructed in specific
terms as to what verdict they were author
49,
of the fact that they were not bound to re-
turn such verdict as would result in the
intiiction of the death penalty. There was
nothing in the instruction to mislead. If
the counsel for the defendant desired a
more specific charge on the point, they
would have asked it, and if they did not do
so the responsibility must rest with them.
We do not wish to be understood as hold
ing that an entire failure to instruct on this
subject, in this class of cases, would not be
error. But where the Court does instruct
and call to the attention of the jury that it
is within their province to determine
whether or not tle extreme penalty shall
be inflicted, and the instruction is such as
not to mislead the jury, defendant can
not be allowed to complain that the in
strnction was not sufficiently certain and
specific when the attention of the Court
below has not been called to it and no more
specific instruction has been asked for
The judgment is affirmed"
The decision was written by Justice
Works, and is concurred in by Justices
Mcfarland, Sharpstein, Paterson, Thornton
and Chief Justice Beatty.
