CAPAY VALLEY.

improvements In the Town OF Esperanza
The Place Rapidly Growing.
Correspondence. of the REooRD-UNIoNt
improvements continue to appear in this
place daily, leaving no possible chance for
doubt as to the rapid and continuous
growth of the town. Ground was broken
for the erection of brick butcher-shop
this morning, 2ox5o feet, on Yolo avenue.
Me-. Shuttle, the Madison blacksmith. has
purchased q piece OF land l00x2O0 feet.
across the railroad, adjoining the water
works, with the intention of erecting a
blacksmith and machine shop. which con-
tract has been let, and work commences
shortly.
A two-story brick block, 50x70 feet, will
soon be erected on Yolo avenue, adjoining
W. Levy's block. This makes nine dwell.
ing houses, threestores, one hotel, a Butcher
shop, brtck-yard, Ester works, and several
other dwelling-houses that are under way.
Speaking OF the butcher-sbep, il is sim
cerely hoped that when this one is opened
we will get better class of meat than hss
been furnished heretofore. There is a gem
eral complaint about this article through.
out the whole valley. but there was no
remedy because there has been no competi-
ton.
A great deal of annoyance and Delay is
occasioned also by reason of there being
another town of this name in Tulare
county. The most of our mail goes there
as there is no Postofiice here yet, and we
are getting our mail by Wells, Fargo & Co.
Steps should be taken by the proper per-
sons TO remedy this evil as il causes more
incoGv enience than can be understood.

House in BeHicia, is visiting friends here

Interesting Legal Proceedings-A Con-
aict of Authority.
Los ANGELES, October 3d.-Last night
D. Wagner was arrested in this city by
Deputy Sheriff Reese, of San Luis Obispo,
upon warrant sworn out in that place for
grand larceny, and was imprisoned here.
Wagner's friends swore out writ of
haheas corpus on the ground of lack of
jurisdiction. The officer hearing of it
spirited the prisoner away. a warrant
for the arrest of the officer was sworn out
for kidnapping. The officer started for San
Luis 0bispo with his prisoner, closely fol-
lowed by the officers of the city. A hot
chase was the result. Wagner and his
pursuer were caught at San Gus, and
all returned to this city. An interesting
legal fight is expected.
The investigation of the Soldiers Home
o-day was continued, and Colonel Treichel,
Treasurer Erdman and Surgeon Hasse
were examined at great length. Their tes-
timony consisted in a general denial of all
the charges. They expressed surprise at
any dissatisfaction, and knew of no cause
of complaint except poor meat. They did
not explain away the reason why the vet
Grams preferred the county house to the
Home, nor why invalids were forced TO
work when not able. The investigation
will continue tomorrow.
