OUR SOLDIER DEAD.
AN ELEGANT TRIBUTE TO THE DE
PARTED VETERANS.
Description of the Monument, which the
Local G. A. r. Posts win Soon
Unveil.

On the 9th day of next month, which
will be the occasion of the thlrty-ninth an
niversary of California's admission into
the Union as State, the local Grand Army
of the Republic posts will assemble at the
headquarters, corner of Tenth and K
streets, and, headed by the First Artillery
Band, will march to the City Cemetery,
where the ceremony of unwilling the new
Grand Army Memorial Monument will
take place. The ceremonies will consist OF
music, prayer and an Grafton by prominent
local speaker, yet to be chosen. A salute
of muskets will be fired and the veteran
soldiers will retire.
After several years of perseverance the
members of the local Grand Army Posts
at last succeeded in placing fitting
tribute over the graves of their
dead comrades. Some time ago
it was determined to secure four cannons
from the Mare Island Navy Yard, which
had seen service in the late war, these to be
placed in the four corners of the G. A. R.
plot in the cemetery. But the posts were
then in poor financial condition, and could
not get the pieces here, so the matter fell
through. A monument was then thought
of, and fund was started for the purpose
of eventually erecting one. This was three
years ago. Since that time something over
$1,000 was accumulated. This was not
enough. A similar amount to this was
lying unused in the Grant Memorial Fund,
and negotiations were made, and succeeded
in having this sum transferred to the
G. A. r. Monument Fund. This COM
bined amounts 500-was expended for
the handsome monument, cut of which is
here given:

THE MONUMENT.

The monument will stand on little
mound on the east side of the G. A. r.
plot. 1t is entirely of Folsom white gran
lite, with the exception of the figure which
surmounts it. This is of white bronze, and
was sculptured in Chicago. The shaft and
figure will reach hight of twenty feet
from the ground. The figure is hand
some piece of work. 1t stands feet II
inches in hight, and represents Union
private standing at parade rest"
On the front side of the main shaft the
inscription, Erected to the memory of our
soldier dead" will appear in bold relief,
and below it, on the center base, the letters
sc. A. R." On the north side of the shaft
will be life-size bust medallion of General
Grant, beneath which will appear the in
scription, "Our General-U. S. Grant" On
the south side will be two-foot Grand
Army badge, cut into the stone.
The monument stands on a concrete base
six feet square and six feet deep. The
whole weighs over twelve tons.
This will be the first monument erected
in memory of the Grand Army's dead on
the Pacific coast, and Sacramento should
be proud of it.

COOL, INDEED.

Charged With Assault to Murder, But
Thought So Fine Sufficient.
w. II. Davis was examined in the Police
Court yesterday on charge of assault &c
murder, committed on the 18th inst. upon
his mistress, Lucy Attralos.
The woman testified that she had in.
formed Davis that she would live with him
no longer, on account of his cruelty to her
and that he then became enraged. He
knocked her down, kicked her, and wound
up by jabbing her on the head with case
knife.
There were no other eye-witnesses to the
assault, but police officer Franks stated
that he had found the bloody knife, and
was satisfied that Davis was the guilty
party.
Davis, when put upon the stand, adj
mitted that he had beaten the woman, but
denied that he had used the knife.
Davis attorney, Mr.. Wharton, then
moved for dismissal of the case, on the
ground of insufficiency of evidence.
Judge Buckley intimated that the evi.
dence was trifie scant to be placed before
a jury in the Superior Court, even though
hc vas sallSAOu hS ~ bdNiS quit.
City Attorney Church opposed dismis-
sal of the case, but was willing to allow
Davis to plead guilty to battery.
Davis and his attorney held a consulta.
ton, and Mr.. Wharton finally arose, and
without betraying the slightest emotion
said his client would accept the City Attor.
ney's offer. He concluded, however, by
stating that this acceptance would be made
with the understanding that Davis should
only receive light fine-something like
S. or $40.
The Judge and City Attorney almost fell
out of their chairs, and it was thought They
had tainted.
Mr.. Church was the first to recover hi!
equilibrium, and when he did SO b,
promptly withdrew his offer to Davis anc
insisted that he be held to answer the orig
inal charge of assault to murder.
His Honor made the order, and set Davis
bail al 81 900, binding him over to answer
before the Superior Court.
Davis and his attorney left, wonderin,
what could have come over the officials.

SAN Francisco, August 24th.-The Sac
ramentos to-day played as excellent field
ing game as could be desired by the most
exacting enthusiast. They had an uphill
battle to fight. but did not lose heart, and
at one stage caused their opponents to look
anxious. Burke was again an easy mark
for the 0aklands, but had he been rendered
better support behind the bat the Oaklands
would have made less runs. The men on
both sides stole bases at their own pleasure.
Goodenough, Gagus and Roberts played
great outield. Coughlin was hit hard,
but the hitting was not done when it was
needed. Dooley's three errors were muffs
of balls thrown by Coughlin to catch run
ners mapping, and on which the runners
made second. Stallings played in right
field for the Oaklands, and made a phe-
nomenal one-hand catch of fly. The

FRISCO WON IN THE NINTH.

STOCKTON, August 24th-The Stocktons
won game from the San Franchises to-
day and then generously gave it back in
the ninth inning. 1t was an uninterestipg
game throughout, despite some pretty plays
that awakened interest now and then.
Whitehead at short and Stickney at third
played great ball up to the ninth inning,
making difficult stops and pretty throws.
The San Franciscos scored two runs in the
FIRST inning on errors by Selma and White
head hit by Levy, and passed ball by
Ebright. In the third inning Ebright tied
the score by rapping out home run, when
Stickney had been hit by the pitcher. In
the fourth inning three errors by the San
Franciscos allowed Fudger TO score what
should have been the winning run. In
San Francisco's half OF the ninth, after
Perrier had been retired by Whitehead's
ass ist, SWEET was safe on Selnas error,
and Powers got first on Sweeney's error,
SWEET then stole third and Powers second.
Donahue hit an easy one to Harper, bat
the Stockton pitcher was badly ratified

WIN Raise the charge.

When the case of w. w. Cone, charged
with petty larceny, was called in the Police
Court yesterday, o young man employed in
Lawyer Dunn's Office arose and asked for q
continuance. He said he believed there
was to be hard fight when the case came
up, between the police and private detec-
tiyes, and time was needed for preparation.
Both sides agreed to continuance until
September 3D.
City Attorney Church then gave notice
that he would move in open Court to have
the charge against Cone raised from petty
larceny to obtaining money under false
pretenses.
Cone has demanded s trial by jury.

Could Not Swear to It.

A great deal of legal sparring and tall
swearing was INDUCED in in the Police Court
yesterday over yagrancy case. Three
police officers and three citizens testified
that they believed Arthur Roper to be a
dissolute character, whose principal occu-
patton was rolling Grunks, but, of course,
none of the witnesses having been in
Roper's company constantly cared to swear
positively that he did not do half an hours
work during the last thirty days. Conse-
quently Roper was discharged.

Utah furnishes an illustration of the
simpler forms of irrigation. The Mormon
farmers have been irrigating on small
scale, but they have come 10 the end of
their rope. They have been confronted by
the issue of storage reservoirs, but don't
know how to handle the subject. They
waited upon the committee and presented
clear statement of what they had done.
1t was remarkable exhibition OF what
small canals and small communities can
do. In Salt Lake county the farmers have
apparently no capital with which TO work,
or If they have they do not know how TO
employ it to advantage. The largest num-
Der of shares of stock in any irrigation
company is POS. One share of stock repre-
sents one acre. and ninety per cent of the
irrigation shares are owned by the farmers
themselves. Some expensive work has
been done, but all by individual labor.
each shareholder giving his own time and
service, as well as of his teams. Tney are
irrigating at various points by means OF
small storage basins, but the committee
found that there are places suitable for
larger basins and the prospects for
the future in that Territory are promising.
The engineers of the Geological Survey are
working up the matter, and the results of
their labors will doubtless be most en-
couraging.
As to Central Nevada, 1t is Just now
difficult to say what are the conclusions
already reached by the committee, as the
work in Nevada must be largely the result
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1889-08-25

of the projected engineering work, which is
on large and comprehensive scale. 1t
may be safely said, however. that the re-
demption of the Humboldt basin by
means of storage reservoirs, and with SUBJ
sidiaries below, can be readily accom-
plished. There are 600 acres of land,
and probably more, that would thus be re-
claimed. As already said. the natural
meadows and water supplies of the Owyhee
river in northern Nevada can be so utilized
as to bring about the reclamation of an
equally large area in that direction.
