but Under Provocatton.
The Police Court records have for some
days past carried charges aud counter
charges between C. oister and Ed. Graf.
The former charges the latter with drawing
a knife on him, and was in turn charged
with disturbing the peace by the Graf
household. The former charge was dis
missed on Saturday, and Oister had his day
in Court yesterday.
The testimony showed that the defend
ant had been rooming with the Gratis, in
the vicinity of the Capital Cannery, but
they heard that il was his purpose TO re-
move TO the domicile of friend named
Meyer. II was then-accordins to Oister's
story-that the trouble arose. He declared
that Mrs Graf had told Mrs. Meyer that
he (Oister) was about 20 wed a young
woman not long out from the Fatherland,
and that IN the meantime he was to take
her few weeks on probation. This nat
urally enough aroused the ire of Mr.. 0ister-
who vas so mat as meier pefore vas and
he took Mrs. Graft TO task for what he said
was an infamous lie. Mr.. Graf came in
while the controversy was in progress, and
resulted in the charges made to the Court.
After q patient hearing of the facts in the
case the Court came to the conclusion that
defendant had said and done nothing more
than the circumstances of the situation
warranted, and discharged Mr.. Oister, who
went forth as happy as clam at high tide.

MIR. Chance,s Explanation.

Road Overseer Silas Chance writes to the
REcoRD-UNIoN to the effect that the pub.
lished reports of the investigation before
the Board of Supervisors On Saturday did
not do him justice. He says: 1.-THE facts
are that the District Attorney, after hearing
the evidence of the prosecution, moved to
dismiss the charges, but insisted on being
heard, and was fully exonerated by the
unanimous vote of the Board"
He says no mention was made in his
hearing of his having expended funds in
excess Of labor performed; that the only
point proven was that he worked the men
under him more hours than the law re-
quired, and that he did more than was
necessary on public work. He claims that
lit is the unanimous opinion" that the
charges were made without foundation
and through pure malice.

The McComh Inquiry.

The State Prison investigation has been
postponed until Wednesday, May 18th, at
San Quentin, at the request of the attorneys
for both sides. Private Secretary Boruck
says that the reason of the Governor
action in the above matter was that the
report of the Committee on WAYS and
Means, which has just been received by the
State Printer, will not be ready for exami-
nation much before May LIST, on which day
it was proposed to begin the investigation.
Messrs. Wilson, Reddy, and Shanahan, the
attorneys in the case, desire time to ex-
anime the report. as many of the details
therein contained will be closely connected
with the investigation to be held by the

WHAT UMPIRE Young SAYS.

REcoRD-UNIoN reporter saw Umpire
Young at the depot yesterday afternoon,
prior TO his departure for the Bay, and OBJ
tanned from him statement in regard to
the matter: THE reports in the San Fran
cisco papers, as regards my actions with
O'Neill at Stockton, are not true. | never
fined him 500 or $500 or anything
like it, but did impose a fine of $50 on
him, which consisted of $40 fines at five
different times. AT first, O'Neill disputed
q close decision on a base, and became SO
boisterous that fined him $40. He after
wards called me a thief and robber, and
said that l was selling the games, and |
fined him ten more. Next he spit at me
and got ten for that. | gave him ten more
for repeating his insulting language to me,
and lastly he danced jig on the diamond
and made insulting remarks about me and
I finished him with ten dollars, making in
all fifty Manager Robinson stated to me
that ne had paid the fines imposed on
members of his club heretofore, but did not
propose to pay O'Neill's $50.
-" As to 0'Neill's threatening to leave the
State" continued Young, it's all bosh.
He has too good thing here, and the last
thing he will do will be to abandon the
Oakland Club. In the Kalamazoo Club, of
Michigan, where O'Nejll was manager, his
actions were altogether different from what
they are now. ! was umpiring for the
League there. and had no trouble at all
with him. In reference to the personal
matter which appears, | once did borrow
Sc from O'Neill back East when short of
funds, and he had instructed me to pay it
to a hotel clerk SO that he might get it
when he returned from a journey which
he made. / did pay it, but O'Neiil claims
he never pOf the money and he still holds
pay it again. If O'Neill ever uses such
language and employs such conduct again
in game that l am umpiring, will COM
pei him to sit on the bench and have a SUBJ
stitute put in his place. He is good
coacher and player, but carries things to
extremes

Ane OakianO hfcker's Kick, and the
Umpire's Response Thereto.
The following from the San Francisco
CAL of yesterday gives one side of the
controversy over the fines imposed on
O'Neill, the shortstop of the Oakland Club,
by Umpire Young in the game at Stockton
OH Saturday last:
The spectators at the home diamond yester-
day were puzzled over Norris o Neill' failure to
coach his men during the early stages of the
game. The reason was that the shortstop has
tired of being fined repeatedly and has con-
cluded not only TO quit coaching for Robinson
team, but to quit the California League alto
gether. He announced to his manager yester-
day morning his intention to leave for the East
tomorrow. 0'Neill says he has not been treated
squarely either by the umpires or by the news
paper men in Stockton, and is quite sore over
the accounts sent to this city from that place OF
his alleged ungentlemanly conduct in the town
of the champions. During the dispute with Ben
Young Saturday he was fined 500 for taking
issue with the referee. ONeill says he said
nothing out of the way until the amount reached
500, when he called Young robber. The lat
ter reported only $50 of the fine. Norris claims
that the umpire has special grudge against
him, which was acquired in the East and in
which some monetary transactions figure with
Young as the debtor
