M0ORE'S MONEY RETURNED.
The "Hokey-Pokey" Men Realize that
They Made Mistake.
Tucker, the Dealer, is Sent to San
Quentin for a Two-Year
Term.

Tucker, the "hokey-pokey" dealer,
who was convicted of robbing a man
named Moore of $3.50 at his game" ap-
peared before Superior Judge Van Fleet
yesterday-this time for sentence.
The gamblers attorneys moved first
for new trial, and then for stay of
judgment, but the Judge promptly de-
clined TO grant either.
Then the courts attention was called to
bit OF writing paper which had been
filed with the other papers in the case
since fuckers last appearance in court
1t read as follows:
This is to certify that have received from
George Blanchard S230.in in gold coin in full
for all claims against him and Others for
money alleged TO have been lost by me in q
game played on the 23d of January, 1891.
j. W. MOORE.
WHAT DID IT MEAN?
Blanchard, it will be remembered, is
the man who owned the ."hokey- -pokey"
outfit at which Moore was fleeced, and
who employed Tucker. Blanchard and a
man named Brown, who was one of the
'cappers'' for the game, are now awaiting
| trial for completely in the robbery of
Moore.
| Just what was intended, or what was
expected by the filing of this receipt, no.
body seemed to know to any degree of
deiiniteness. Tucker Blanchard and
Brown have all through the matter stoutly
maintained that they did not rob Moore,
| yet this receipt indicated that they in
tended to throw themselves upon the
mercy of the court for light sentences.
| Judge Van Fleet perused the receipt,
and then, tossing it aside, asked Tucker
| if he had anything to say why the judg-
ment of the law and the sentence of the
court should not be pronounced
The only request Tucker had TO make
was that, should he be sent to State
Prison, it be to San Quentin, instead of
Folsom. He said he had friends living
at the bay, and he desired to be near
them.
TWO YEARS IN PRISON.
Judge Van Fleet then sentenced Tucker
to two years imprisonment at San Quen-
| tin. lie called the prisoners attention to
| the fact that the limit for such offenses
was ten years, but he felt inclined to be
lenient because Moore,s money had been
returned to him. The Judge said he had
no sympathy for a man who voluntarily
sought a gambling game-a square game
and lost his money. But" said the
Judge, lin this case Moore's money was
obtained by trick and fraud. The evil
dence fully sustained the charge, and it
was clearly shown that Moore was robbed
by unfair dealing and by means of a
fraudulent deck of cards. The jury would
| have been derelict in performance of duty
had they not returned averdict of guilty."
Blanchard and.Brown, who are accused
of being implicated with Tucker in the
robbery of Moore, were arraigned before
Superior Judge Catlin yesterday after
noon and both pleaded not guilty. Their
trials were set for March 3lst.

The Committee on Commissions pre-
| sented a majority and Il minority report.
| The substance of the former is familiar to

| Boards of Forestry, Silk Culture and Fish
! Commissioners, and consoiidates those of
| Niticulture, Horticulture and Viniculture
with the Board of Agriculture.
| The minority report of MeSSrS. WeS-
| ton and Robertson recommends that the
/ State Boards of Forestry and Horticult-
ure be combined, and, believing that it
would be an injustice to the horticulture
and Yiticultural interests to combine
| them with the Board of Agriculture, rec
oamends the continuance OF those boards
and an appropriation for their mainten-
ance. The report also opposes the abol-
| iShment OF the Fish Commission, but rec
| ommends that the patrol service be made
more economical and effective. Mr..
! Robertson also recommends the continu-
ance of the Mining Bureau.

and Means gives list Of all bills consid-
| cred by it whether recommended by it or

ations, giving the sum necessary to be

That's the Way 1 shoot.

preaching them, he exclaimed angrily
"You fellows don't know how to shoot :;

Bang" and the target was missed.
A broad grin overspread the features
of the two privates, but the officer was
equal to the occasion. Turning to the
first, with frown upon his counten-
ance, he remarked, "That's the way
YOU shoot. sir!" A second attempt,
and similar result. Turning to the

For more than one hundred and fifty
years the inland ice of Greenland has
been source of increasing interest
and speculation to travellers and scien-
fists and especially to students of the
physical history of the earth. says the
Geographicat Magazi1ae. For how much
longer it has been IN object of super
stitinus horror to the scattered Eskimos
who inhabt the narrow strip of barren
mountains intervening between it and
the Arctic seas there is not even n
Legend to say. The results of the
various attempts to explore it leave
little or no room TO doubt that the in-
terror of Greenland is entirely sub
merged beneath the accumulated frozen
precipitation of ages. This great con-
gealed reservoir has an area of some
600, 900 square miles. equal to about
three times the area of France or the
German empire. and twelve times the
area of New York State.
Its frozen surface in the center is
nine to ten thousand feet above the
sea level Mount Blame buried in it
would lose two-thirds its height and
two Mount Marcys. piled one upon the
other. would scarcely break lis sur
face. From every point along its cir
cumference. where gaps in the Titan
dam of mountains that holds it in
check permit, issre resistless glacier
streams, some of which are larger than
the entire glacier system of the Alps
This unique phenomenon is extremely
interesting, both per Sc and in its re-
lations of the glacial epoch in this
country and in Europe, and further eff
forts for its exploration and study will
continue to be made and will yield
valuable results; but to me its great
charm is that to the proper party.
properly equipped, it is an imperial
highway, the like of which exists no.
where else under the sun.
