Tell the Truth.
M the Saginaw Courier-Herald

From the Saginaw Courier Herald.
a Patron of Industry writing from
Gowen, MOntcalm county, says:
"NIr Youmans tells the farmers that he does
not live in Saginaw, but has lived on his farm
continuously for seven years. Col. Bliss, i'm his
speech satd He (YOumans) lives in Saginaw
so do 1. He makes brick, 1 manufacture lumber
and salt. He owns farm outside of the city, SC
do L. desire to know IL 1t is true that You
mans lives and votes in Saginaw"
Tell the truth, Mr.. Youmans. You
know that what Col. Bliss said was true
that you live i'm the eighth ward of the
City of Saginaw; that your family lives in
said ward, and that you have always lived
tllere since continuously for many years
past. Don't try to deceive the people. On
the 9TH of September last the Democrats OF
Saginaw held county convention for the
purpose of electing delegates to the state
convention, and these were the delegates
present i'm said county convention from the
eighth ward of this city:
Eighth ward-Fred Burcker. ii. M.
YOUMANS, j. Provencher, William Now
bray, A. G. Hall.
Thus it was not more than six weeks ago
that Henry M. Youmans appeared i'm q
Democratic convention as a delegate from
the eighth ward, and yet he Is telling the
farmers that he has lived on his farm ''cOn-
tinuousy for seven years." DO the voters
of the eighth district believe that this Is the
kind of a man who ought to represent them
i'm Congress? What Col. Bliss said is a
fact.
Tell the truth, Mr.. YOumans, 1t Is mighty
and will prevail. On the 18th of July, 1888.
the Democrats held convention to elect
dele yates to the state convention, and the
delegates elected from the second district
comprising this city. were:
second district-HENRYM M. YOUMANS,
w lam Rsbec, Geo. w. Weadock, Chris
Maier, A. q. Wall. Clarence l.. Davis.
The same year he was city candidate
for sheriff and last spring he was candi-
date for city assessor.

The opposition all agree upon that fact
that George ID. Mason is eminently qualified
to fill the Office of treasurer. His practical
experience is worth much to the county.

SENTENCE COMMITTED.
Lifetime Sentence Reduced to One of
Sixteen Years.


Governor Waterman yesterday COM
muted the sentence of George L. Gaunce
from life Imprisonment to sixteen years.
Gaunce was convicted OF murder in Sono-
ma county in December. 1880 In grant.
ing the communication the Governor says:
"Gaunce has now been confined for a
period of ten years, and during all that
time has been an obedient and faithful
prisoner, often rendering valuable service
to the State and at all times endeavoring
to deserve the good will and commenda-
ton of the prison officials. I am in re-
ceipt of appeals from many of his friends,
residents of Oakland and Marin county,
prominent citizens in all the walks of life,
who represent to me that Gaunce was at
all times steady, industrious and reliable
man, and his well-established character
prior to this trouble seems utterly and en-.
tirely at variance with the crime for which
he now suffers punishment.
Il am urged to shorten his term of i'm
prisonment in order that he may soon be
released and given an opportunity to re-
deem the past. An excellent tuation
awaits him as soon as he is free, and | am
constrained to grant the appeal, believing
that If restored to liberty be will again be-

OFF FOR IHE WlR.
DEPARTURE OF SEVEN COMPANIES OF
THE FIRST INFANTRY.
the Redskins and Avenge Gus
ter's Death.

Companies A, B, c, D, E, G and H, First
Infantry Regiment of the regular army,
Colonel Shafter commanding, arrived in
this city by special train yesterday after
noon at go o'clock, on their way to the
scene Of the Indian uprising in the North
west. The troops are from The Preside
and Angel Island barracks, and comprise
all the companies in the First Infantry
Regiment, except Company F, which is at
Fort CASTOR, on the Indian reservation in
the northern part of the State.
The command numbered $50 men and
twenty officers, with every man equipped
for field duty. The men were rudy
looking set, apparently able to withstand
hard campaign.
Before the train arrived here number
of offices of the National Guard in this city
assembled at the depot to welcome the
regulars and wish them good luck on their
expedition. The train consisted CT three
baggage cars, for the ammunition and
equipments, eleven second class sleeping
coaches for the men, and Pullman palace
sleeper for the officers.
After waiting at the depot for about half
an hour the train pulled out, amid the
cheers of the crowd.
Uncle John Douglass was busily en-
gagged, while the troops stopped here, in
giving the men pointers about fighting
and describing the meaning OF the various
"whooEs" and war cries of the savages. He
suggested that every man have mis- hair
clipped close, so that no opportunities be
offered the redskins for scalping,
The troops are destined for Cheyenne,
which they expect to reach next Saturday.
In case they are needed to 20 into the
mountains they win proceed to Omaha, and
there be mounted for cavalry service.
The men all seemed to realize that the
work before them is likely to be of the
greatest possible daDger-that if an Indian
uprising should occur there will be fighting
to do, and plenty of it-and yet every one
of them is determined TO do his duty with
out fiinching. They are even eager for the
fray. Most of them are young men, who
look as if they would not only be able to
endure the hardships of q winter Indian
campaign, but when it comes to fighting
they will give good accounts of themselves.
Every body hopes that the present scare
will pass away, and that the half.crszed
ssvages will regain their reason before any
overt act is committed that will require the
troops to turn loose their weapons; but if
the war does come, it should be sharp and
decisive and the Indians be made to real
ize thst Uncle Sam will not put up with
any of their nonsense In the event of an
outbreak there is every reason to believe
the soldiers will be equal to the emery
ency.
Ever since the memorable day when
Sitting Bulls warriors ambushed and mas
sacred General Custer and his little band of
brave soldiers, the boys in blue have
wished for an opportunity to meet the same
red devils on something like even terms.
that they might averge the deaths Of their
comrades.in-arms. The situation is such
as to warrant the fear that the clash will

to, Blu; there was no help for it but by an
amendatory Act of Congress. This was
secured in the latest moments OF the last
session, and everything is serene again.

GRAVELED STREETS.
Some May be Better Than Others, But
They are All Good.

Some May be Better Than Others, But
They are All Good.
Mr.. Hughes, the contractor on n street,
beyond Nineteenth, feels that an injustice
was done him by published interview in
these columns recently, in which the state
ment was made that the gravel used there
was not of the best quality. He claims
that it is first class gravel, and that the
work has been accepted by the City EDgi-
neer and the Trustees.
The statement first referred to was made
on the authority of reputable citizen, and
that is all the RECORD UNION has to say
about it. 1t may be that the reputable
citizen was mistaken, and that the con-
tractor is right. 1t is certainly safe to say
that ali the newly -graveled streets are such
as to reflect credit on the city and the con-
tractors. While the material used is none
of it pure gravel, it makes good streets and
at comparatively little cost to the property
owners. If all the graveling to be done
henceforth shall prove as good as that
already done, there will be little cause for
complaint.

MOHAWK VALLEY.
A Favored Spot In Arizona Where Many
Sacramentans Have Interests

Sacrsmentans Have Interests.
As long ago as 1885 number of Sacra-
mento people took up q large quantity of
desert lands on the Gila river bottoms, in
Yuma county, Arizona. The principal OBJ
ject in securing land so lar away from
home was the growing of fruit, proof hay
ing been offered Of its maturity fully a
month ahead of the earliest localities of
this State. A canal twenty miles long,
with carrying capacity of 10000 inches,
was commenced, and its completion was
expected before the three years allowed for
reclamation had expired, but lack of cap
ital prevented.
When the time for proving up came
around there was no water for irrigation,
and the original filers were compelled to
relinquish their claims to others, who in
some instances paid good figure for the
privilege. The three years which had
elapsed had developed further proofs of the
ultimate value of the property, and the
changes in ownership was confined wholly
to Sacramento people, or those near it.
After the filings of the second parties
had been accepted in the District Land
Office, it was discovered that clause in the
arid land bill, passed two months previous
reserved all these lands from entry except
by q proclamation of the President, and
then only through the Homestead Act.
Our Sacramento people were IN pickle
sure enough. The Secretary of the interior

Offensive Fellow.

A Chinese Thief Gets Ninety Days-An
Offensive Fellow.
There was varied calendar in Judge
Buckley's Court yesterday morning. Joseph
Kelly was in the dock on the charge of
being common drunkard. The prosecu-
ton showed that, when drunk, the de-
PENDANT was very offensive, and particu-
larly so to ladies, several of whom he had
insulted by persisting in walking along
with them, much to their annoyance.
The Judge announced that he would rem
der the verdict to-day.
All Cling was found guilty Of having
stolen some old iron from the railroad
shops. 1t was also shown that the China.
man had been caught in similar acts several
times before. A sentence of ninety days
was imposed.
John Henry, who stole R. J. Merkley' s
overcoat, asked that his trial be set for next
Wednesday, and it was so ordered.
Barney Hughes was sent to Jail for ten
days for being drunk.
Wah Leung was fined SIS for selling lot
terry tickets.
Fanny Evans, charged with vagrancy,
demanded jury trial, and her case was
continued until Tuesday next.

referred to Supervisor Greer for investiga-
ton.
Charles Heisen applied for a rebate of
$50 on an erroneous taxation, and the mat
ter was referred.

THE NEW EXECUTIVE.
Governor-elect Markham Pays a Visit to
the Capital City.

Goyernor-elect Markham is in the city,
having arrived yesterday, accompanied by
his Private Secretary, NJ. R. Higgins, of
Los Angeles. Accompanied by D. NJ.
Burns, these gentlemen visited the State
Capitol and called at Governor Waterman's
office, but that official was in San Fran
cisco.
Executive Secretary Douglass received
the party and gave them some insight into
the routine of the Office. Colonel Mark
ham then visited the residence of Mrs. w.
B. G. Brown, now occupied by Governor
Waterman's family, which ne inspected,
with view to selecting residence while
here.
The Governor also inspected the Mohr
residence, at Twelfth and L streets, right
opposite the entrance to Capitol Park, as
well as the Scudder residence, at Third and
P streets. He returned to San Francisco
on the afternoon train to consult with Mrs.
Markham before deciding which he will
lease.
Mr.. Higgins will remain in the city q
few days.
During the afternoon a number of citi-
zens called upon the new Governor at the
Golden Eagle to pay their respects to him.

READY FOR THE SNOW.
The Snow-Plows are on the Mountain
and Prepared for Emerged cies,

The Snow-Plows are on the Mountains,
and Prepared for Emergep cies,
The snow-storm on the "hill'' for the
past few days did not cause the detention
of any of the local or overland trains, and
the railroad officials are confident that,
with the rotary and common plows, they
can successfully battle with the snow this
year, if the fall should not exceed that of
last winter, when the track on both noun
tain divisions was 5locksded by immense
banks of snow and landslides.
The first fall is always easily handled,
but when the push-plows, by constant
work, begin to bank the snow on both
sides of the track, and finally run into cuts
where there is no room on one side or the
other in which to store the snow, the
trouble begins and the rotary and cyclone
plows are the only successful resort. The
fall on the Sierra Nevadas so far has been
but couple of feet, and by means of a
small headlight pillow which is ia stoned 70
the front of an engine, trains have been
able to move on time.
One of the rotary plows is at Alta in
readiness to do service, and another is
stationed at TrucAee. The snowfall be-
tween these two stations is the heaviest
and caused all of the delay last winter.

Mrs. Miller Once More.

Mrs. Miller, an intolerable nuisance to
every neighborhood in which she locates,
was to have received her sentence yester-
day in the Police Court, having been con-
victed of disturbing the peace several days
ago. She did not appear, and Judge Buck
ley ordered an attachment issued for her
arrest, returnable day. The Judge
stated that he could see no other course to
take than to sentence the woman to i'm
prisonment in the County Jail. She was a
disturber to every quiet community and
not fit mother to care for her children.

The Repairs on the Tweifth-street Trestle
Completed.
The Board of Supervisors went out in a
body yesterday afternoon to inspect the
work of replanking the Twelfth.street
trestle recently completed by contractor
R. W. Parker.
An hour or more was spent in examin-
ing the work, after which the members of
the Board expressed themselves as being
thoroughly satisfied with the job. The
bridge is now in a condition to last several
years under rough usage. 1t has been re-
planked over the entire distance, and the
old flooring has been laid over the new
one, and new filler rails and braces added,
making it very substantial structure-the
Supervisors agreed that it was as good as
new.
After inspecting the work the Supervisors
returned to their chamber and formally &C.
copied the bridge. Mr.. Parker's bill of
$500 was allowed and paid.

II was only day before yesterday that a

any more or they would be severely dealt
with.
Among them were young Kagee and a
juvenile named Visker. They are again in

Painful Accident.

While boy named George Schwartz was
hunting near Brighton on Wednesday his
gun burst, blowing off two fingers of his
right hand and a portion of the third
finger. His wound was dressed at the
County Hospital.
1t is more than likely that there was
time, possibly lump of mud. 1t takes
very little to burst gun, hence boys-as
well as men-should be very careful when
handling them.
