MIER'S WOOD-PUE

Must Pay Fine.


Must Pay Fine.
Fred. Mier, who was arrested on We'd
nesday on charge of misdemeanor, pre-
ferred by c. c. Brown, was tried and
found guilty yesterday in the Police
Court. Brown objected to large pile of
wood which was stored on the sidewalk
in front of the Excelsior Works on Sixth
street, near III. He claimed that it was
put there by MIR. Mier's order. 1t OBJ
structed the passage-way, and people had
to Inconvenience themselves to get by the
pile, which contained about one hundred
cords.
Mr.. Mier said he was not responsible
for the piling of the wood in that position.
lie was not the foreman nor the manager
of the factory, and never gave orders to
the men.
The cross-examination of Mr.. Mier and
additional testimony introduced by the
prosecution showed that he was the
'Fr""snrer of the company, and that he

Spring Brings Boom In the Local
Club-Coming Events.

SluD-COinlng Events.
Now that spring is here, there is quite
a stir among the athletes of the Sacra-
mento Athletic Club, who have been
laying OFF, more or less during the win
ter months.
The outdoor grounds at East Park are
shortly to be overhauled thoroughly and
put in good condition. 1t is intended to
convert the running track and sprinting
course into regulation cinder paths, so
that some good racing and fast time may
be expected during the coming year. The
runners, jumpers, shot-putters and
hurdlers are doing preliminary timber
ing up'' work at the gymnasium now,
and as soon as the weather settles and
the ground dries sufficiently they will
get out into the open air.
Owing to the great success ofthe last two
ladies nights at the club-rooms, and
the increasing popularity of these enter
tainments, the directors are seriously con-
sidering the proposition of giving eXhi-
bitions of this kind monthly. The mem
bers of the juvenile class are becoming so
proficient in all the branches taught them
by Professor Godefroy, the clubs able in
structor, that they can contribute very
materially 10 the entertainments. 1t is
also stated that an exhibition by the
ladies' class is among the possibilities of
the near future. This class is quite large.
and its members have made remarkable
progress with the Indian clubs, dumb
bells, wands, and on the various appa-
ratus.
The next event to take place under the
auspices of the club will be a hand-ba!l
tournament for teams made up Of club
members only. AS there are great many
experts at this game in the club. the
entry-list promises to be large. Games
will be scheduled for specified nights,
and members will be privileged to
bring their lady and gentleman friends
to see the contests. It is expected that at
least two weeks will be required to de-
eide the club championship. Gold medals
will be presented TO the members of the
winning team.

orders to his son, who in turn directed
the men. 1t was also shown that he super
intended the unloading of the cars Of
wood, and could have ordered it piled

Miller is the man who stole Deputy
Tax Collector Stephenson's sack of poll
tax collections-SIS in ALL He had been
employed on the Stephenson ranch near
Courtland, and saw young Stephenson
(whO is cousin to the well-known
rancher) put his sack of collections be-
tween the mattresses of his bed. Stephen
son went off several miles to assess some
Chinese and during his absence Miller
''froze onto the sack" He decamped i'm
mediately, but several hours later the
theft was discovered, and instead Of vast

Stephensons set out after the thief. They

they captured him. Miller immediately

REPEEfANT CRIMINALS.
Henry Miller and ]. P. BIeyin Plead
Guilty TO Grand Larceny,
Both Go to State Prison for Short
Terms as Reward for Saving the
County Expense.

Two grand larcenists stood in the
prisoners dock in Superior Judge Van
Fleets court yesterday and acknowl-
edged their guilt.
1t has become quite fashionable among
criminals of late to plead guilty-par-
ticularly when theirs are pretty tough
cases to beat,' as they put it-and, by
saving the county the expense Of q trial,
reasonably expect mercy from the court

ITS WORTH TRYING.
Yesterdays repentants were J. P. Blevin
and Henry Miller, and both got off with
comparatively light sentences consider
ing the magnitude of their crimes.
Blevin is the individual who couple OF
weeks ago broke open one of Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s mail-boxes at the corner of
| Fourth and J streets, and took therefrom
letter containing a draft in favor of G..
II. Cummings for $3.50. This is a serious
crime, and ordinarily upon conviction
would mean sentence to long term of
years in the penitentiary. But Blevin
snitiled and pleaded guilty to the charge
OF grand larceny preferred against him
| by the District Attorney. He begged for
mercy on the plea that he was addicted to
! the terrible morphine habit and really
| did not know what he was doing when he
! broke open the mail-box. He had never
before been arrested for crime, he said,
and had always worked hard at his trade
of paper-hanging for a living.
The sympathieS of District Attorney
Ryan were aroused by Blevin's remarks
and he asked the court TO be Ienient.
Judge Van Fleet let the prisoner off with
one year at Folsom.
Then it was Millers turn. He was
| shifting, too.
