That is About What it Would Cost to
Keep George Cox Out of Jail.
The examination case of George T. Cox,
charged with obtaining money by false
pretenses, was heard in the Police Court
yesterday. Cox is the man who, repre-
senting that he was in the employ OF
San Francisco paper manufacturing COM
pany, went to the store of A. S. Hopkins &
Bro. and obtained the loan of $40, giving
as security draft on The San Francisco
firm for that amount. Mr.. Hopkins, after
giving Cox the money, telegraphed to the
Bay to see if the matter was all straight,
and in reply received telegram which ran
thus:
Cox is not in our employ. Bad egg"
Mr.. Hopkins thereupon had Cox ar
rested. In Court yesterday Cox explained
that he had been working as a sort of
sixty different paper mills, but was at
present in the employ of San Francisco
newspaper. He could yet, however, take
orders for supplies of paper. He ex-
planned that he had been at Hopkins 81
Bros. store before and borrowed money,
which he promptly returned. In the last
transaction (the one on which he was ar
rested) he had told Mr.. Hopkins that he
did not liketo give draft on the company,
but the former having prepared the draft
he signed it. He was positive that the
company would have paid the draft, and
if they had not he would have been down
chad he not ben arrested) and settled the
thing there himself
Judge Buckley said he did not like to
convict a man of such an offense if he
really did not intend anything wrong, but
he took the case under advisement until
to day. If Cox can rake up" $40 the case
will probably be dismissed.

One of Them Has Coin, and Packs an
Arsenal About With Him.
Officers Eldred, Harvey, Rider and
Crump yesterday made descent upon a
camp of tramps in the brush near the Y
street levee and bagged seven head. Two
of the number, Harry Steele and a. Gra-
ham, were found dressed in clothing re.
Gently stolen from an outbuilding in the
lower part of the city, and accordingly they
were booked for burglary.
But the dandy" of the gang is a man
who gave the name of John Schilling. He
panned out rich. In one pocket he had a
nickel-plated revolver, with every chamber
loaded. In another was a fancy spring
backed dirk-knife with a narrow blade
about six inches long and sharp as a razor.
He also carried fine pocket compass, and
had so in coin on his person. Against
him was entered charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons.
1t does not seem reasonable to suppose
that man leading the worthless life of
tramp, camping in the brush and in COM
pany with thieves, could have come by so
much wealth honestly, while the possession
of two death dealing weapons-a pistol and
dagger-naturally gives rise to the sus-
picion that he is dangerous customer
The Police Court should thoroughly sift
his case, and if possible learn something of
his antecedents.

An Honest Granger Becomes Entangled

A. Mouton, the well l-known hop-grower,
made discovery yesterday that will be OF
value to him the rest of his life. 1t was a
point of law, and it looks as if the cost of
learning it will be about $11S 81. About a
week ago J. Everson commenced suit
against one All Sing for that sum. The
Mongolian had several hundred dollars in
Mr.. Mouton's hands, and Everson sued out
an attachment therefor from Justice Bak.
er's Court, and Constable Martin served
Mouton with the necessary papers to se-
cure Eyerson's claim.
Three days afterward w. II. Bagvell
sued the same Chinaman for $500, in the
Superior Court, and the Sheriff levied
upon the money held by Mouton. The
latter then paid over to the Sheriff the en-
tire sum in his hands belonging to the Chi
naman, and when Everson applied for bis
Sl1S 81 he got nothing. Mr.. Mouton came
to town yesterday to try and have the thing
Strengthened out. He said he was no law
yer, and didn't think be should be held re-
sponsible for the amount of Eyerson' Is
claim, although he had paid the money to
another party after portion of it had been
attached.
At last accounts attorney Post, Eyerson's
counsel, was endeavoring to have the mat
ter settled without loss to Mr.. Mouton, but
all the same the latter says he knows more
than he did couple of days ago.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.
Mohr & Yoerk's Pork Packing Establish


ment.
The city of Sacramento by reason of her
favorable location as a trade center for a
large territory, points with pride to her
many private enterprises. Among the fore
most of these is the extensive pork packing
establishment of Messrs Mohr & Yoerk on
] street, between Tenth and Eleventh.
Within very short period large four
story brick building, with all the modern
appliances, has been added to the original
plant. So widely have this firm, and their
enterprise, become known that during the
recent State Fair a constant throng of visit
ors from all sections of the country poured
through their buildings. Many who called
expressed themselves as highly grati6ed
with that visit, as it was the first opportu-
nifty they had ever enjoyed of witnessing the
workings of an establishment of that char
acter. Notwithstanding the apparent COM
pleteness and convenience to do a large
amount of work, new improvements are
continually being made. The most recent
is the addition of new engine and steam
dryer. The latter machine is intended for
grinding bones and all other refuse matter
about the buildings into a fine powder for
fertilizing purposes. The working-up of
this stuff each day promotes cleanliness
and prevents all offensive odors. Hereto
fore this refuse has been cast away. Now
1t will be prepared SO as to be valuable for
gardens, orchards, etc. Competent Judges
say that this substance makes one of the
best fertilizers for bluegrass lawns, as it is
free from foul seeds, which is the great diff
iculty with stable manure.

More Than a Year?
| Much of the session OF Judge Armstrong;
Court was occupied yesterday in the trial
of the case of ]. Nahl vs.. A. ]. Peck. This
is asuit in ejectment. The land in issue is
a ten-acre tract in the vicinity of CORTLAND
The plaintiff has been the lessee, and the
defendant, the owner of the land, is an ex-
tensive landowner in the southern end of
the county. The facts are about as fol-
lows:
In December, 1887, Peck made a verbal
lease of the land to Nahl for two years. For
the first years rent Nahl was 10 grub off
the bank of Sutter slough and dig drain
ditch about eighty rods long. The second
year he was to pay rental of $780,
de went on the land and put in crops of
potatoes, alfalfa, etc. The first year he did
not do any of the grubbing or ditch dig
glng, as he agreed to. and at about the ex-
plratlon OF the year Peck went to him and
complained of his non-action. Nahl re.
FUSED to give any satisfactory assurance
that he would do the work, and Peck gave
hlm notice that he must leave the place, to
which Nahl paid no attention.
Peck then commenced suit against Nahl
Tor unlawful detainer, and got Judgment
against him tor $500, damages holding over,
and also writ of restitution placing him
PECK in possession.
Nahl appealed from the Judgment of the
Justices Court to the Superior Court.
Pending this appeal, the plaintiff COM
menced the action ID ejectment, which is
now on trial. The testimony was con-
claded yesterday, and the arguments will
be made on Saturday.
The defense hold that lease of land for
more than one year is not good, unless it
be made in writing, but that in any case
the plaintiff forfeited his claim to hold pos
session by neglecting to carry out the terms
of the lease.
Nahl claims that no time was specified
in which the work was to have been done,
and that it was optional with him to do it
either the first or second year. The
NJ essrs. Johnson and w. A Gelt are attor-
neys for Nahl, and ]. II. McKune and G.
