signed with the La Crosse Club of the same
league, making q splendid record during
the season. He came to the Pacific coast
in the fall Of 1887, 10 spend the winter.
As the California League season had not
closed, Manager Robinson, OF the Oak
lands, learned Of Harper presence and sue
ceeded in inducing him to finish the sea-
son with that club. Harper did co. and
Robinson held on to him for the next sea
son.
Harper pitched for Oakland until Aug
ust, 1883. at which time Lorrigan, the phe-
nomenal Stockton pitcher broke down,
and the Slough City team began negotia-
tions with Robinson for Harper's services.
Robinson sold the young pitcher to Stock
ton for good round sum. Harper now
began doing the work Of his life and it
was largely through his mastery manipu-
lation of the sphere that Stockton won the
championship and pennant that year.
During the past season Harper was again
with Stockton and made q fine record de-
spite the weak team that attempted TO sup
port him. His services were sought by
several Eastern clubs tor the coming sea-
son and Stockton also wanted him. But
Harper was too high-priced for them, and
it remained for the Sacramento club, which
is sparing 40 expense in getting its nine
into shape, to sign him at his own figure
Harper has pitched some phenomenal
games since his advent in California, but
like all pitchers has his "off" days, 100 He
has shown improvement in his work right
along, though, and no doubt will rank
among the very best pitchers in the
League this year.

ADJUSTMENTS.

IAN Arabian Night" was played at the
Metropolitan Theater last night by the
company of C. ]. Burbridge. The play is
clever farce-comedy, but neither so witty
nor interesting as Days "a Night Off,"
that will be played this evening, Mr.. Bur-
bridge says it lisa misapprehension to speak
of this troupe as Days company. He has
the right to present certain of Augustin
Days plays, and more than that he has
never claimed. The troupe that played "a
Night Off last spring in this city, and
achieved q success, was Burbridge's Of
that company, three-Burbridge Verney
and Miss Willsrd-are in the present
troupe, and assume their original charac-
tiers tonight. The company is neither very
good nor very poor. Perhaps "An Arabian
Night" did not afford it opportunity for
manifestation of its abilities. In Bur-
bridge, Verney and Miss Willard, it has
clever people; the latter especially, being
entitled to the credit of naturalness and
grace. The others are new faces and
would fairly well fill in stock company,
but judging from their manifestations of
ability last evening, would not be con-
sidered strong enough for comedy of any
special brilliancy or calling for high
degree of skill.
The theater- going public will be pleased
to learn that Manager Hall has secured the
return of Sol Smith Russell for a two
nights engagement next week.

TWO DECISIONS.
THE JUDGMENT REVERSED IN A SAC
RAMENTo CASE.
Parties Holding Land Under an Invalid
Conveyance are Entitled to the
Crops Grown Thereon.

A decision by the Supreme Court was
yesterday filed in the Clerks office for the
Sacramento district, reversing the judg-
ment of the Superior Court in the case of
Emerson VS.. Whitaker & Ray. The case
went against the defendants, who appealed
from the judgment. This was an action of
claim and delivery, brought by the plain
tiff, as the Administrative of the estate Of
Fl. G. Emerson, deceased, against the de-
PENDANTS, partners, doing business at Gait,
in this county, under the firm name of
Whitaker & Ray, for the recovery of the
possession Of $40 sacks of wheat
The Court finds, among other things,
that on the 9th day of December, 1886, the
plaintiff, as such Administrative, executed
and delivered to the defendants a deed
purporting to convey 10 said defendants
the premises upon which said wheat was
grown and that, shortly after obtaining
such deed, Whitaker Il Ray, believing that
such purchase was valid, and that they had
thereby became the owners of said land;
and, with the full knowledge and consent
of said administrators, went into posses
sion of said land, and al their own expense
plowed, sowed and planted the same in
wheat, and harvested and sacked said
wheat. The crop amounted to 9f5 sacks of
good grain. of the value of 81, 81 So, and
several sacks of screenings which were
sold by them tor 81 10, which was the
reasonable price thereof
The Court further finds that, on the 18th
day of October, 1887 the said sale and
conveyance of plaintiff to defendants was
by the Court which made the order for
such ssle ana the continuation thereof, set
aside and declared null and void. The
case is simply this: The defendants raised,
harvested, thrashed and removed the
wheat in controversy from lands of which
they were in the actual possession and
claiming title thereto under an invalid
conveyance from the plaintiff-that is,
under color of title
In Martin vs.. Thompson (62 Cal, 61S)
this Court said: The action is brought 10
recover the possession Tor the value thereof
OF certain grain sown and harvested by the
defendant upon land to which he claimed
title, and of which he had the actual. adj
verse and exclusive possession. The ac-
ton cannot be maintained"
That we understand to have been the
well established doctrine before that case
arose. Under that doctrine the defendants
are entitled to a judgment in their favor
upon the findings
Judgment is reversed and the cause re-
msnded, with direction to the Court below
to enter Judgment for the defendants upon
findings.
The opinion is by Justice sharpstein.
Justices Thornton and Mcfarland con-
curing.
