zINK WASN'T DEAD.
HE RETURNS TO LIFE AND sP0ILs
YONKER'S GAME.
A Blacksmith Who Took Advantage
of Friends Confidence is
Landed In Jail.

A.. J. Yonker, blacksmith formerly en-
ployed in this city, occupies a cell at the
city prison, and two charges. of forgery ap-
pear opposite his name on the prison re-
gister.
Yonker was working in the shop of
George Blue several weeks. George ]. link
was employed in the same place as Yon-
kers helper. and the two became fast
friends. Finally link was taken sick, and
was advised to go to the County Hospital.
Before going he went to friend who keeps
a jewelry store on K street near Fifth, and
intrusted with him all his possessions-a
gold watch and chain, gold ring. and $50
in money. Yonkers accompanied link,
and seemed to be acting in the capacity of
the latter's adviser.
link went to the hospital, and gradually
became worse.
1t was about a week later that Yonker
appeared at the jewelry store, and pre-
scented note purporting to be an order
from link for $40. The money was paid
over, and Yonker departed. Several days
later Yonker visited the jeweler again with
another order for $40, which was also paid
links condition became precarious and
his life was despaired of.
About five days ago Yonker appeared at
the jewelers. store again. This time he
wore long face and sad expression, and
told the jeweler that poor link was dead
Being friend of the deceased, he consid-
cred it his duty to take possession of the
watch and chain, ring and remaining $40
and forward the property to links mother.
The jeweler thought this the proper plan,
| too. but he thought it would be advisable
| to wait few days in order to see what the
Coroner, or Public Administrator, or any
| officials might see fit to do in the matter.
Yonker reluctantly acquiesced and left.
The Coroner, nor Public Administrator,
| nor anyone else laid any claim to the prop
| erty, and the property would undoubtedly
have been turned over to Yonker had not
somebody else put in an appearance. That
somebody was none other than link him
self. He had recovered from his illness, it
appeared, and now came to claim his prop
erty. The poor jeweler was frightened
nearly to death at what he thought was
| links ghost, but he finally recovered and
explained matters.
| link was enraged at his supposed friends
| duplicity, and proceeded Immediately to
| the police station, where he told the story
| to the City Attorney.
a warrant was issued for Yorker arrest,
and the police instructed to apprehend
| him. A search developed the fact that
Yonker had left the city, so kilograms were
sent by Chief Drew to all the neighboring
cities and towns. 1t was finally learned
that the shifty blacksmith was at Oroville.
The Chief placed the warrant in Sheriff
McMullen's hands for service, and that
official landed Yonker in Sacramento yes

SUPREME COURT.
SEVERAL DECISIONS OF INTEREST HAVE
BEEN RENDERED.
A Sacramento Case in Which the Com
plant Was Not Sufficient
for Action.

The following Supreme Court decisions
were filed in the Office of Clerk ]. D. Spen-
Ger in this city yesterday:
Landregan (respondent VS.. Peppin.
This is an action brought to quite title to
certain piece of land in Plumas county.
The Court below rendered Judgment as
prayed for, from which and an order refus-
ing new trial the defendant takes this
appeal. The judgment of the lower Court
is affirmed.
Phebe F. Johnson (respondent) VS.. D. NJ.
Vance. San Joaquin county case and an
action of ejectment. Judgment affirmed
Saunders (appellanD VS.. Russell admin
istratrix.) This is a Sacramento county
case. Judgment went for the defendant on
demurrer to the complaint. The only
question on this appeal is whether the
complaint states facts sufficient to entitle
the plaintiff to maintain the action. In
October. 1885, the plaintiff commenced
proceedings against Mary w. Lansing to
have an appraisement of certain property
and secure an order for partition or sale,
and the application of the excess to the
satisfaction of his judgment, but these
proceedings were never prosecuted beyond
having appraisers appointed. They never
qualified or acted, and no further proceed
iuSS were TAKEN IN tnal aCllOn. IN OcI0Der,
1887, Mary w. Lansing died, and the pres
ent defendant (RusselD was appointed as
administrative. Early in 1889 this action
was commenced for the sale of the prop
erty and the application of the excess
above $1,000 10 the satisfaction of his
judgment. The Supreme Court says the
complaint does not state facts sufficient to
constitute cause of action, and the judg-
ment must be affirmed.
A. G. Ellis respondent vs. Robert Wood
burn. This is an Ell Dorado county case.
The plaintiff is an attorney-at-law and
brought this action to recover balance of
$1,000 alleged TO be due him for professional
services rendered to the defendant. The
case was tried by jury and the trial re-
suited in q verdict and judgment in favor
of the plaintiff for 81 600. The defendant
appeals from the judgment, and also from
an order denying his motion for new
trial. The Supreme Court says the case
seems to have gone to the jary in a tangled
state, and to say the least, it does not ap-
pear that the jury may not have been con-
fused and misled, 10 the prejudice of the
defendant, by the erroneous instruction
given and the irrelevant evidence admit
ted. The judgment is therefore reversed.
