Under a law of the State, passed
in 1860, Messrs. f. j. Titus and V. E.
Geiger of Tehana County had some sixty
Indians in their possession who had been
regularly indentured to them by the
County Judge (Newel HalD, to labor
until thirty years of age. All that white
men had to do was to present list OF
names to the Judge, and have him sign
it, and then they had the legal right to
practically enslaye the Indians, being. re-
sponsible only for their care and clothes.
Some of the names of the native sons
and daughters thus held by the parties
named were: Big Jack, Jackass, Judas,
Doc, Big Sam, Bony, Prince, Yolo Boley,
Susan, Polly, Sally, Long Betsey, Big
Sal, Adele, Dido, and so on. The law
was soon afterward repealed.
.........An expedition was being organ
lied in San Francisco for fflibustering
across the Mexican border in Sonora.
The names Of the officers were: Captain,

Wolff; Second Lieutenant, Juan Garcia;
First Sergeant, w. Doane; Second Ser
geant, John Langarl; Third Sergeant, w.
j. Ross; Fourth Sergeant, John s..

While the State Agricultural So

most desirable locality for fair grounds,
it was proposed at meeting of the citi-
zens to tender the blocks between Twelfth
and Sixteenth, N and @ streets. That is
now one of the most densely-built resi-
dence portions of the city.
1.-THE vicinity of the City Cemetery
was evidently once the burial-place of the
Indians who lived in this locality. Chill
dren used to find beads and other trinkets
about there, and thirty years ago this
month some grave-diggers uncovered
skeletons that were evidently those OF
Indians.

Yesterday afternoon, William Wright,
who was Sullivan's accomplice, and who
was convicted by jury, appeared before
Judge Van Fleet for sentence. The pro-
nouncing of judgment upon him had
been postponed several times in order to
to give Wright an opportunity to prove
good character, but he had not been able
to get the evidence he desired and Judge
Van Fleet declined to grant him further
time.
When asked by the Court if he had
anything to say. Wright pleaded for
mercy, saying that he had never been into
trouble before, and had been led into this
scrape by Sullivan.
Judge Van Fleet said he had no doubt
that the prisoner was gully of the crime
he had been convicted of, but still he was
inclined to be merciful for the reason that
Wright was not an old criminal.
Wright smiled and thought he was go
ing to get off with about six months Fin
the county" His legs went from under
him, however, when the Judge sentenced
him to three years in the penitentiary at
Folsom.

derstand the duties of the position and
are capable of doing more in the right
direction than new men. We want
those who can serve us best and do
us the most good. They are well bot
toned in the true principles OF our
government and party. They have
large experience and broad views, and !
are in my Judgment the best men for |

no other man in this district favored |

TYNEs NOTES.

srowing showers and pleasant weather,
Makes us feel that life is better:
Corn, cotton, and cabbage. too
All growing, and looks SO nice to
view,
With beans continually in the stew
And Picnics not very few.
The cotton crop never better as to
date, and corn fairly up to average.
We are having nice growing showers
and the people are rejoicing over the
fattering prospect Of a bountiful yield
OF crops this fall. Picnics and pro-
tracted meetings are all the go, each
OF these gatherings are largely atten-
ded. The yearly protracted meeting
however seems to flourish best in time
OF drouth and when dependency
seizes upon the people. The old time
shouting is sadly missed at the meet
ings now. In our raising it was one
of the main features of the meeting.
There was always on hand dozen or
two sisters, and half as many brothers
who could be relied on to come to the
front at the proper time. This is all
changed, and what has brought about
the change, has education and learn
ing made US more cold and calculating
Some one answer that is able to do so.
Justice Lem Trollinger held court
at Bay Springs Saturday, it was to

$50 dollars was collected in the way OF

the moving spirit that caused the boys
to contribute SO literally to the public
school fund. This done very we'll con-
sidering there was no wild cat on
hand. Esq. Trollinger makes good
justice, and the people will miss him
if they turn him loose.
The Sub Treasury crank has failed
to visit our section SO far, and we will
give him warning right here. that the
people have found out his deformity,
however nicely he may be clothed, it
will be impossible to fool them, and
he may look for tar and feathers. We
have something else to say but win
keep back little for next time. for
fear Of running out of soap.
