CALIFORNIA FRUITS.
The Market for Canned Goods In New
York Dull at Present.

The Market for Canned Goods In New
York Dull at Present.
New YORK, May 13.-The Commercial
Bulletin says: From all accounts the
local representatives of California pack
ers have not met with wholly salts
factory experience in securing orders
for canned fruits of the coming seasons
pack. The prices thus far named, being
generally the same as those that ruled
at the beginning of last season when
California packers enjoyed exceptional
advantages from the failure of eastern
fruit crops, are considered too high by the
trade in this section, and that impression,
along with the general tendency toward
an extreme conservative policy in all
departments, acts barrier to business
in the future, for the timebeing at least.
We hear of prices made with guaran-
tee of protection to buyers in the event
of prices declining, but even that con-
cession does not appear to be any in
ducement. Standard California fruits
are likely to be more affected than ex-
tras by the extent of eastern packing,
but present indications are that buyers
are equally indifferent about venturing
to commit themselves on either variety.

VALUABLE SCALPS.
COYOTE SKINS BEING SHIPPED TC
THE COUNTY CLERK.
A Pomona Man Who has Five Hundred
and Sixty Million-A Dozen or so Being
Received Every Day.

By recent act of the legislature, q
bounty OF $5 per head is paid on all
coyote scalps taken and delivered to the
proper officials. OF late it would appear
that every hunter or rancher in the
county that could get hold of any thing
resembling the wig of one Of these Cali
fornia pests, has been sending it in to
the county clerks Office, through the
medium of the various township officers
and justices of the peace.
The odor of the partially cured scalps
is of course far from pleasant, and yet
the deputies at the clerks Office seem
disposed to make the best of the ardu-
Gus, albeit disagreeable duties.
The following facetious correspond
ence between Deputy Knapp, clerk OF
the board of supervisors, and Justice
w. D. Morton, of Pomona, explains
itself, and those who have "been there"
can perhaps sympathize with the skin
inspector" about to be appointed;
POMONA, Cal, May II, 1891.
T. H. Ward County Clerk, Los Angeles:
DEAR SIR have the honor to send
you some skins, that is to say some
coyote scalps.
have been trying to make these peo-
Pile wait a while, but this Mexican
wanted to do it-that is, send them right
now. So l send TEEN. There are $780,
900, 200 skins awaiting here to be count
ed. A skin inspector ought to have been
provided for by the legislature. When
will the board of supervisors count
skins? I would like to know. Yours
patiently, w. d. MORTON.
Los ANGELES, CAL, May 13, 1891.
W. D: Morton, Esq, Justice of the Peace, Po-
mona, Cal
DEAR SIR: / have the honor to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your facetious
communication relative to skins. The
legislature in its wisdom having enacted
law for the payment of bounty for
coyote scalps "a copy OF which is here
with enclosed), it is incumbent upon
the clerk of the board of supervisors to
receive the same, carefully preserve,
and burn them at the proper time.
This pleasant duty will be performed
with all the ability, agility, accuracy
and cheerfulness that can be applied
thereto. But if you, in the proper and
legal exercise of your powers as magis-
trate of the township OF San Jose, could
induce the possessor OF said $50, 1000. 600
skins to ship them in, in carload lots oil
say 100000 skins each, it would greatly
facilitate the labor of compiling the rec
ord, as we'll as in the drayage. storage,
hauling, etc.
Due notice will be given OF the date OF
cremation.
Relative to the appointment of skin
inspector, l would humbly suggest its
reference to our representative in the
upper house OF the state legislature, the
Hon. J. E. McComas. Respectfully
yours, L. ii. WARD, CLERK,
By HENRY S. KNAPP, Deputy.
From ten to twelve coyote scalps are
received daily at the clerks office, and
the thing has just commenced. Coyote
ranches will doubtless soon be estab-
lished which will rival in profit orchards
or vineyards.

600, and that such payments were made
with intent to defraud creditors. The

months, of over $650000. 1t is esti-
mated that the liabilities will be atleast
$3.50, 900, and may be million or more.

One Of the most interesting cases ever
tried in California was submitted to
Judge Campbell, of San Bernardino, a
few days ago. 1t is suit instituted by
Mrs. L. p. Thorndyke Newman against
o. A. Smith and the South Riverside
Land and Water company. Mrs. New
man wants to recover beautiful and
valuable tract of land near San Bernar-
dino, which, in 1886, she transferred to
Smith under very peculiar conditions.
She was represented in court by Mrs.
Clara S. Foltz and Byron Waters, who
confidently expect their client to win
her suit.
Mrs. Newman is devout and earnest
believer in spiritualism, holding, as a
matter of course, that the dead commu-
nicate with the living. She considered
it her life work to fit up home where
congenial people of like faith could con-
gregate and be made welcome, and
where free discussion of their religious
views might take place. To that end
che dedicated her land. "The beauty
of the surrounding scenery, the abun-
dant supply of water, the medicinal
properties of flowing springs upon the
land, the excellence of the climate and
the removal of the place from the noise
and turmoil of business. all rendered it
admirably suited for such home"
Mrs. Newman has not enough money
to build the house, however, and looked
around for some one agreeing with her
peculiar views to help her. She met
Smith, an agent OF the South Riverside
Land and Water company, though he
kept that fact IN the background. He
protested the greatest interest and CO.
operation in the spirit scheme, and
promised to build the home. He first
demanded deed of the land. 1t was
given willingly and Immediately trans
ferred to the corporation. Smiths spir-
itualistic disguise was thrown off and
Mrs. Newman was leit to mourn the loss
of her land.
Substantially that is her story. Smith
maintains that the transfer was made
by Mrs. Newman with full knowledge of
the facts. Witnesses were examined on
both sides, and the case is now in the
hands of the judge.

A Fellow Who Prowls About in Back

Residents in the neighborhood OF

back yards and sheds of the houses of
that neighborhood, waking up the dogs
and disturbing the sleeping women and
children. On Tuesday night the police
man on that beat kept on the lookout
for the man, but failed to catch him. 1t
is supposed that the disturber is some
sneak thief or poultry fancier," as
several large hennerys are located there
abouts. The neighbors who don't keep
chickens don't know whether to wish
good luck to the chicken thief or to the
early-rising roosters.
