each and every one noted for its great indi-
viduality as well as royal breeding. "Palo
Alto stands to-day" remarks a contempo-
rary, las the greatest trotting horse breeding
establishment in the world, and it is not a
surprise that of the many visitors whe
come to this coast to enjoy the beauties of
scenery and magnificent climate, thousands
OF them annually pay Senator Stanford's
farm visit.
There is no stock farm in the United
States that can show such large amount
of thoroughbred blood among their brood
mares as can Palo Alto and that the theory
of breeding so fully carried out BY Senator
Stanford is success, is evidenced in the
fact that SO many of the trotters trained at
this mammoth establishment have thor

The trotting department is under the
charge of Charles Marvin, who is recog-

THE SCHOOLS.

Holiday Vacation Fixed-No Money for
Street Improvement.
There was special meeting of the City
Board of Education last evening. The
object of the meeting was the allowance of
teachers salaries for the month and to fix
the duration of the holiday vacation.
The Board decided that the schools
should close on Friday (to-morrow), and
re open On Monday, January 9th.
a demand was received for the amount
due for the improvement OF Tenth street,
in front of the block on which the Capital
Grammar and Primary Schools are located
The Board decided that, inasmuch as the
City Trustees refused to levy a sufficient
tax for the support Of the school depart
ment, the Board was unable to meet the
demand-that the school property belongs
to the city and the city should pay it.

SAVED FROM DISGRACE.
THE ATTEMPT TO IMPRIs0N A YOUNG
GIRL FOB vAGRANcY.
Antoine vallas' Conspiracy Aeainst His
stepdaughter Fails-The Girl to
Have a Good Home.

Georglana Hendricks, the young CIR
accused by her stepfather Antoine vallas
OF being yagrant, was discharged in the
Police Court yesterday. City Attorney
Hart made the motion to dismiss the case
and took occasion to express his opinion
OF the conduct OF Yallas. When the latter
swore to the complaint he claimed to know
that the girl associated with lewd women,
and stated that his object was to keep her
away from such company. Since procur-
ing the warrant he has not made his ap.
pearance in the Police Court, though the
case was called twice.
Mr.. Hart remarked that he did not like
the conduct of yallss. and thought he had
other motives than rescuing the girl from
bad company. The latter allegation in the
complaint was, he believed, untrue, as all
of the neighbors Of Miss Hendricks spoke
OF her as modest and quiet Girl.
Hiram Johnson said he had been re.
tanned as counsel by the girls guardian, S.
w. Haynie, and he knew there was moth
ing 10 the charge made against her. He
could produce evidence to show that Val
iss' object was to get control of some
building and loan stock and small piece
OF real estate which the girls mother had
left her. The prosecution was a malicious
one, and he could show that within the
past month Vsllas had attempted to ab-
duct the defendant.
Judge Buckley ordered the case dis
missed and stated that if Vallas had been
subpensed to appear in Court, and if the
pros ecutlon so wished, the Court would
have issued an attachment for his arrest
Mr.. Hsynie, the gentleman who had
kindly consented to act as Miss Hendricks
guardian, called at the REcoRD UNION
office last evening and said that, before as
Stunning the responsibility of guardian, he
had made close inquiry about the girl.
All that knew her spoke of her as an in
dustrious, well-behaved young person,
against whom not word could be said
Miss Hendricks herself called upon him
and related her trouble-how she was be-
ing bounded by the man Vallas, and said
she wished 10 have some good person act
as her guardian. He (Mr. Haynie) had
been recommended 10 her, and she desired
him to act as such
Having satisfied himself that the Young
girls story was true, he promptly assumed
the responsibility. Mr.. Haynie stated that
Miss Hendricks would henceforth have
good home, as she would be adopted into
the family OF Mr.. and Mrs. D. t. LufEin,
of Walnut Grove, old and well. known
residents OF this county.
1t would seem that there should be some
way in which the law could be made to
reach and punish the man who sought to
blast this young girls character and have
her cast into Jail as yagrant. An attempt
to do great bodily injury to person is a
punishable offense, but here is case
wherein ii appears that a most malicious
attempt was made to do irreparable injury
to young giIls character and reputation
one from which she could never have hoped
to recover-and this, too, by one who
should be the first to protect her from
harm,
