That in the month of October, 1890,
and prior and subsequent thereto, said
II. Ii. Markham was a candidate for

canvass for election to such Office he de-
MED ever having written said letter.
That on or about the Oath day OF Oc-

and asserted that he was desirous OF OBJ
tanning genuine letter written by the
said H. H. Markham Of the character
and substance of the letter hereinbefore

about the said day offer and promise and
agree to pay reward in the sum of one

tion to him OF such genuine letter.
That in consideration of such offer,

and leave in the personal custody of the
defendant for the period of twenty-four
(24) hours the said genuine letter SO, as
aforesaid, written by said H. H. Mark

Notwithstanding such production and

FREE LANCE.
HE PRoPOUNDs SOME POINTED
QUESTIONS FROM WHITTIER,
People Inquiring About the Reform Schoo !
Investigation-Some Interrogations for
che Consideration of the Grand Jury.

The following letter from Free
Lance" at Whittier will be found to
contain some pertinent matter:
We read in the veracious chronicles OF
Senior Cervantes that the good knight
Don Quixote de la Mancha set his lance
in rest and charged full tilt group Of
"cyclone" windmills, to the serious detri-
ment of himself and his good steed Ros-
inante, and the hot-headed quill driver
who, in these later days, charges with
sharpened pen the rampant abuses of
our governmental system is often fash
ioned mentally after the verisimilitude
OF the old Castilian, and might be much
more profitably engaged in head to head
conflict with he goat.
Sometimes, however, these knights
errant find vulnerable point, and
printers ink is very efficacious when
properly applied. Even the redoubt-
able Pull has been known to give way
to the Press.
People are beginning to inquire about
the reform school investigation. They
would like to know what answers the
grand jury got to the following questions,
If by any means they were moved to
PROFOUND them:
First TO whom did the first
pair of horses purchased by the
president of the board for use of
the institution belong? Second-Who
owned the red roll-top 500 desk, first
piece of office furniture bought? Third
What commission, if any did the same
gentleman get on the orange trees?
Fourth-By what right he took and
caused to be planted on his own ground,
or that OF his wife, number of orange
trees bought and paid for by the state of
California? Fifth-What right had the
superintendent to buy from himself for
the state, to be used by himself as an
officer of same, all his household goods,
including his patched and darned bed
ding? Sixth-What did the secretary
mean when he said, prior to the visit of
the legislative committee last spring,
that the items for contingent expenses
were too large and things would have to
be fixed up?
These and numerous other questions
the people are asking, and ii our "regu-
larly impaneled'' jury shows tithe OF
the energy and public spirit shown by
the famous elisored grand jury of San
Francisco they will elicit answers re-
vealing in startling manner the way in
which public veal has been made sub
servient to private interest, and public
funds have been diverted to the emolu-
ment OF set of corrupt political ring

THE SUPREME COURT.
The Case of Dobinson VS.. Mcdonald
Decided.

The Case of Dobinson VS.. Mcdonald
Decided.
A Judgment was handed down yester-
day from the supreme bench of the
state in the case of Dobinson ct al,
respondents, vs. Mcdonald, appellant,
affirming the judgment and order of the
lower court. In March, 1886, the de-
fendant appointed G.. HI. Dobinson, J..
A. Fairchild and 7. E. Rowan agents
for the sale of his ranch, containing
about 1900 acres, in this county, and
being a part of San Pedro ranch. He
desired to sell the ranch for $4,000,
payable one-third cash and the balance
in installments. The agents were to get
$4,000 commission.
After the execution OF this instrument
the plaintiffs acted as agents until De-
cember 1st, 1886. On November 24th
| the defendant gave to one Frye written
authority to sell the property, and Frye
| the same day effected sale to one
Boyce, which was confirmed November
Goth of the same year. On Decem-
ber lst Mcdonald announced that
he had withdrawn the land from the
market and offered the plaintiffs $1,000
for the agreement. Dobinson and his
colleagues accepted the offer, and sur
rendered the agreement. The lower
court found that the defendants rela-
tions were false and fraudulent. and that
he had Intentionally concealed from the
plaintiffs the fact that he had already
sold the property. In September, 1888,
the plaintiffs learned of this circum-
stance, and brought suit for the balance
| of the $4,000. Judgment was rendered
fo- plaintiffs, and from this judgment
and an order denying a new trial, the
defendant had appealed.

HE HESITATES.
Does Governor Markham Want Buck
ley Extradited

Does Governor Markham Want Buck
ley Extradited ?
As it appears to the Expositor Gov
ernor Markham is displaying too much
hesitation in taking steps to bring Mr..
Christopher A. Buckley back from Mon
treal. 1t is reported that the governor
claims to have found precedents covering
Buckley's case in which the state depart
ment has refused to make demand on
foreign power. This may be true, but
even granting it to be SO, in what way
does it concern the governor Wouldn't
it be well enough to allow Secretary
Blaine to hunt up his own precedents
Is the governor in duty bound to dis
cover asses bridges for anyone else? 1t
generally conceded that if we are to
get Buckley at all, it will be through the
friendly Offices of Canada or England,
for his case is certainly not covered by
any extraditiOn treaty. If it be desira-
BILE to bring Buckley back at all, it would
seem to be the duty of the governor to
supply the state department with evil
dence on which to make a friendly re-
quest on Canada to give him up. More
over, it being conceded that Buckley
cannot be extradited in the regular way,
the precedents which the governor claims
to have found have no application at all.
Is it possible that there is real basis
for the disclosures that have been made
in the Rea-Wo ood libel case? It will be
remembered that it was testified in that
trial that bargain was made with
Buckley whereby both Markham and
Rea were to be elected. The public will
begin to ask questions by-and-by, ii the
governor doesn't give up his search for
precedents. There will be those who
will begin to hint that the governor is
under political obligations Of some sort
to the x-Democratic boss.-[ Fresno Ex-

MY CHRISTMAS RIVAL.

Somehow, just then the drowsy smile DER
came
The restless dimplc midway Of her chin;
And sleeps moist finger Quenched tue hazel
fame
Her curling lashes jcalously hedge in.
How sweet her slumber is, my thoughts di
vine;
I'm sure q yellow lOve-lock strays athwart
The covcriet as il 1t sought to shine
Close to the happy beating OF her heart.
She dreams-but not Of me. Too we'll know
Whose image sways her sordid little soul;
Il stalwart gentleman. this favored beau,
Not young. and rather stout upon the whole.
HIS head hath white OF many winters frost.
His beard is hoar. his brow is marked Of
time;
Bat, in good stead OF graces he has lost
The beauty Of his treasure Is sublime.
In fact, had sonic worthy gifts o. him
Myself. in days not passed beyond my mind;
'Tis true his kindness now looks somewhat
dim,
AS bygcne favOrs often do. find
Yet on this Christmas eve they give me pause,
And lend me grace his triumph to survive.
Reign over her in peace, friend Santa Claus.
She'll lout your claims next year when she
is FIVE.
