long time having been under the care of
many doctors, lastly under the care of the
famous DR.. Flower of Boston. But the
steady growth of his cancer despite the fact
that 1t was once cut out, soon demonstrated
that nothing short of miracle could save
him. Mr.. Foster has been quite an extensive

The Jurors Were Unable to Agree and
Were Locked Up for the Night.
Attorney Charles L. Jones argued until
noon yesterday tor the prosecution in the
Woodson rape case. Judge Van Fleet then
instructed the jury at length in regard to
the law relating to the case, and the Jury
retired shortly after o'clock.
At 7;S0 o'clock the jury filed into Court
and asked for further instructions, and
were obliged by the Judge.
At 10 O'Clock they again appeared and
made similar request, and were again ac-
commodated.
Shortly before midnight Judge Van Fleet
was again summoned to the Courtroom.
The jury ambled sleepily into the room
and took their seats.
We'll, gentlemen" said his Honor, "do
you wish further instructions?'
Juror A. J. Johnson rose and stated that
two or three OF the jurors were not satisfied
regarding what extent the testimony of the
little girl, Edith Kern, might be considered
uncorroborated.
The Judge replied that if the girls testi-
mony appeared truthful to the jury it alone
could convict the defendant.
Woodson looked anxiously after the
jurors as they filed out of the room to be
locked up for the night. 1t was under
stood that the vote stood six TO six for con-
viction and acquittal from the first ballot
until late at night, when several more were
added to those in favor of conviction.
When they retired for the night it was

HIGHEST PRICES OF THE SEASON.

A Carload of Fruit Sells for s2,4o6-
Tokay Grapes Net Se6O Per Ton.
The Earl Fruit Company, of Sacramento,
received account sales few days ago from
their New York agent, Z. L. Goodsell, COW
ering car of California fruit, which sold
in New York for 81, 406.
This car was made up by number of
prominent growers of Sacramento comfy.
Among the sales were the following R.
d. Stephens, AZ double crates Tokay cranes

double crates Emperor and Muscat grapes,
at S. % TO Sc 80 per crate; Foster & Son,
81 boxes German prunes, at IS so per box;
also several hundred boxes Of cling peaches
at So so per box.
Mr.. Stephens Tokay grapes Melted him,
above all expenses, $500 per ton, or 10
cents per pound on the vines. Mr.. Bakers
Muscat and Emperor grapes Melted him
$l60 to $2l5 per ton, or 10 10 cents per
pound on the vines. The German prunes
and cling peaches net the growers fully IL
cents per pound on the trees.
These are splendid prices, and show what
can be done with California fruits in the
Eastern markets when properly packed
and shipped through firms who have bad
experience in marketing California fruits.
The Earl Fruit Company is one of the
principal firms engaged in shipping Cali
fornia fruits to the Eastern markets and
have agents in all the principal Eastern
cities, with branch house at Chicago.
Their shipments for the year 1889, will

Cullen would give vent 10 her feelings be-
fore departing by calling the prosecuting
witness a "squaw" and numerous other
complimentary names.
The scene in Court during the progress
of the trial was an amusing one. Mrs.
Cullen said the whole trouble was over a
dress, which belonged to her, and which
Mrs. Wells would not give up. The latter,
however, explained that the defendant
owed her S. for board and lodging for ten
days, and she was going to keep the dress
until she got the money.
This remark riled Mrs. Cullen, and she
exclaimed, with closed teeth, You old
- (she had the word "squaw" half out,
but Judge Buckley checked herr, didn't l
give you and your husband the first break
fast you ever ate?n
Now, Judge Buckley, don't you mind
her.. continued Mrs. Cullen, 81 don't owe
her So, and the only real bad name l called
her was when they were trying to put me
out, and then said, Don't be so angry,
pretty Kitty Wells'"
The spectators in the Court. room had a
six by four" grin on their faces during
the trial, which lasted for fully half an
hour.
AT last an agreement was effected, and
Mrs. Cullen was discharged upon promise
that she would pay the IS when she earned
1t, get the dress and avoid further trouble.

WILD CATTLE.

Four Wild Nevada Steers Capture aud
Terrorize the City.
Yesterday large drove of wild cattle
was driven through this city to the bridge
en- route TO pasture at Knights Landing.
They were from the plains of Nevada, near
Elko, and were poor, and many of them
were vicious. One of the vaqueros came
near losing his life at the end of the bridge.
A large steer attacked the riders horse, and
before he could get out of the way received
several thrusts from the beasts sharp horns,
infiicting wounds that will in all proba-
bility prove fatal.
Four of the steers refused to cross the
bridge, and were roaming about the city
last night a terror to all pedestrians.
Officer Brady, who, by the way, is an old
vaquero, lassooed one on Tenth street and
tied him up securely to tree. At late
hour last night wild steer had possession
of the Capitol Park, and every one in that
part of the city gave the grounds wide
birth last night.
The owner of the cattle was around last
night offering a reward to the mounted po-
lice if they would lasso the wild bovines
and keep them from doing any damage.
Officer Seaman was out on his black charger
and lariat, and expected before morning
to have all the wild cattle tethered and
i" SIS in his inside pocket"

PICKETT's VERSION.
He Denies In Toto the Allegations that
He Defrauded All Sing.

He Denies In Toto the Allegations that
He Defrauded All Sing.
q. G. Pickett, the young attorney who is
in trouble through an alleged questionable
transaction in which Chinaman named
All Sing claims to have been defrauded of
$500, denies that he is guilty of any wrong
doing in the matter.
"Ah Sing" says he, "rents hon. ranch
near Sheldon and w. H. Bagwell conducts
dairy on the same ranch. Bagwell has
been furnishing help and teams to the
Chinaman for some time, and All Sing
owed Bagwell about 81 400. Some time
ago All Sings hop-crop was burned, but it
was insured and Bagwell commenced the
suit in order to attach the insurance money.
When the losses were adjusted, however
the insurance companies only paid enough
to satisfy the claim of chattel mortgages
and then hearing that Mouton owed the
Chlnaman some money, the attachment
was served on Mouton, with the Tesultithat
the $500 was paid into the Sheriff's hands.
Meanwhile, three or four days previous to
the service of the attachment on Moutop.
All Sing and Bagwell met in Pickett's of
flee for an adjustment of accounts, and All
Sing acknowledged in the presence of a
NiAAlcoo bLat nc O"Su dDOUl Tl,4U ".
After the 800 was placed in the Sheriff 5
hands, All Sing came to Pickett's office to
see Pickett, and Bagwell and Pickett pro-
duced confession of judgment which was
read and fully explained to the Chinaman.
All Sing was satisfied and signed the paper
Afterward it was found necessary to have
the instrument acknowledged, and a second
confession was prepared and read and
thoroughly explained to the Chinaman a
second time. He signed and acknowledged
it. and it was then filed, with the result that
the S4OO was paid over to Bsgwell."
Pickett denies that he ever told the
Chinaman that the money was attached by
the Sacramento Lumber Company, and
that the Chinaman ever gave him $50 TO re.
cover the money. In fact, he denies all of
the accusations, and claims that he can
substantiate his denials when the case
comes up in Court.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
Animated Discussion Over the La
Grand Jury's Demand

Animated Discussion Over the Late
Grand Jury's Demand.
Most of yesterdays session of the Super
visors was consumed in the allowing of
bills, among which were the claims of the
members of the lately discharged Grand
Jury. Chairman Tebbets looked at several
of the claims and said that $44 was the
amount in each case. He remembered,
however, few days ago of having read
demands of jurors Nottingham and Win
gate, for $40 apiece, and concluded that
there must be some crooked business. He
made known his discovery to the other
members of the Board and grew somewhat
excited about the matter. He cast a savage
glance at his colleagues and declared that
he had seen with his own eyes the SO
demands, and wanted to know how the
others were down TO S44.
Supervisor Greer attempted to explain
how it was, bat the doctor wouldn't have
1t, and furthermore declared that the Sec
rotary, Z. d. Shirland, was not entitled to
double pay.
In a short time Clerk Rhodes of Judge
Armstrong; Court came in and explained
that jurors Nottingham and Wingate were
entitled to SO each for previous months,
and had been paid that amount some time
ago by the Board.
The Chairman, upon thinking over the
matter, concluded that he must have found
an old claim and was mistaken in his ar
gument, but nevertheless he said they had
funny mode OF doing business, anyway.
At the afternoon session William Boyne,
foreman of the recently discharged Grand
Jury, appeared before the Board and stated
th9t he had been requested to state, by
Judge Armstrong, that the demands of the
Grand Jury be allowed, as the Judge had
ruled that it was not their fault if the jury
was afterwards shown to have been an
illegally constituted body.
The opinion of District Attorney Bruner
was asked as to the allowing of extra CON-
pensation to f. ID. Shirland for services as
Secretary of the Grand Jury. Mr.. Bruner
| replied that he did not think the Board
was compelled to pay the extra amount,
and that it had been given heretofore as q
gift. Further investigation of the matter
was left to Mr.. Bruner.
