Black Bass VS.. earn.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN Seeing your ar
ticle this morning on the destructive
carp, induces me to again attempt to di-
rect the attention of the Fish Commits
sioners to remedy, and at the same time
a godsend to anglers, as have several
times done in the past. Eight or ten
years ago wrote to Robert B. Roosevelt,
then Fish Commissioner of New York,
describing our river and lakes, and ask
ing him if black bass, either the small or
big mOuthed species, or both, would not
do well in them. He wrote me at length,
telling me that both would do well, al
though the small lmouthed bass preferred
clear water, but that either would in
crease rapidly in this climate if their food
supply was abundant.
At that time the Sacramento was q
muddy stream. Now, thanks to the ces-
sation of hydraulic mining, it is compara-
lively clear, and the smalI-mOuthed bass
would do well in it.
As every angler knows, the bass are
gamey, and furnish an excellent subSti-
lute for trout-ishing. They are voracious
feeders, and II once introduced into our
waters in sufficient numbers would soon
solve the carp question and provide the
people with one of the best of food fishes
and the angler with a fish that will take
both fly and bait and with as much fight
10 Jne SO uare lncn as any nSh that SWlmS.
The Fish Commissioners can easily
procure all they want, either Of spawn or
young fish, as the bass is found in all the
States of the East and the Mississippi. If
they VIII only stock our waters with them
they will deserve and receive the thanks
of all our anglers and preserve the food
for our wild fowl as well, by keeping
down the increase of the carp.
Some years ago-I think when B. B.
Redding was one Of the Commissioner
a number OF bass were placed in pond
near San Francisco, with the understand
ing that the increase We're to be distrib-
uted through the State; but / have been
informed that the owners of the pond af-
terward refused to allow it to be done, by
what right or for what reason do not
know.
Gentlemen of the commission, can you
not import a few hundred thousand eggs
and stock our waters for us? We need
only black bass for our anglers and wood
cock for our gunners To make the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin Valleys the
sportsman's paradise. w. l.. WILLIS.

PRINTING OFFICE "PI."
Editor Larkin Had More oft Than He
Desired.
He Objects to the Quality, and Wants
His Landlord to Put Up for the
Loss It Entailed.

The suit of j. n. Larkin against w. II.
Hamilton for Sl24 damages, came up for
hearing before Justice of the Peace De-
vine yesterday on the defendants de-
murrer TO the complaint.
Mr.. Hamilton is the lessee of the Post
office building, at Fourth and X streets,
and, it appears, rented couple of rooms
to Mr.. Larkin, where the latter estab-
lished the office and composing-rooms of
the Sunday Leader. Mr.. Larkin alleged
that shortly after he had taken possess
sion of the rooms a portion of the ceiling
fell down, making havoc with his types
and editorials. He said his furniture was
damaged, and he was put to the expense
OF removing.
Counsel for Mr.. Hamilton demurred to
the complaint on the ground that it did
not state facts sufficient to constitute a
cause of action. He said that the only
statutory remedy Mr.. Larkin would
have had, would have been to make the
necessary repairs and withhold one
months rent, or else vacate the premises.
II. l.. Buckley, who represented Mr..
Larkin, argued against the demurrer.
Judge Devine took the case under ac.-
viSement, but intimated that unless J
found authorities 10 change his opinion,
he would sustain the demurrer.

FRESNO CASES.
Three of Them are Decided by the
Supreme Court.
The Judgment in a Land Case Set
Aside-A Conviction for Forgery
Sustained by the Court.

The following Supreme Courtdecisions
were filed yesterday in the Deputy Clerks
Office in this city:
Otto Brandt VS.. o. NJ. Thompson zap
pellant) and Herman Brandt. The com
plant averred that the plaintiff was the
owner ofcertain described land in Fresno,
and the defendants asserted an interest OF
some kind in the land. The prayer was
that the defendants be required to set
forth the nature of their asserted claims.
The defendant, Herman Brandt, who is
the plaintiffs brother, made no defense
The lower court rendered decision to
the effect that the plaintiff was the owner,
in fee simple, of the land, and that
Thompson had no interest therein, except
that as mortgagee "to be determined by
proper suit of foreclosure against plaintiff
therein" Thompson appealed from this
Judgment.
The Supreme Court reverses this judg-
ment and gives leave to both parties to
amend their pleadings as they may be
advised.
ANOTHER FRESNO CASE.
The case of Andrew Jackson VS.. H. r.
Hyde (appellant) was also Fresno case,
and the purpose of the action was to have
1t decreed that the plaintiff is the equita-
bic owner of a certain described eighty
acre tract of land; that the defendant
holds the legal title thereto in trust for
plaintiff, and that defendant be required
10 convey the same to plaintiff.
Judgment was rendered for the plain
tiff and the defendant appealed. The
judgment is affirmed by the Supreme
Court.
CONVICTION UPHELD.
20 l, GsoG
W. r. Bibby (appellant was appealed
from judgment of conviction for the
crime of forgery, and also from the order
denying the defendants motion for a new
trial. He was the Deputy County Super
1ntendent of Schools of Fresno County,
and the information charged him with
forging, uttering and passing, with intent
to defraud the First National of Fresno, a
certain writing. The amount was Sl20.
The defendant filed demurrer to the
information upon various grounds, which
demurrer was overruled. He also moved
an arrest Of Judgment, and the motion
was denied. He contends that the order
is illegal on its face, for the reason that it
did not appear by the information that it
was accompanied by bill of items; that
such an order is worthless paper, save for
the purpose of forming foundation
upon which to issue requisition TO the
Auditor Tor county warrant, and that
~ IOq ulsiV4Oh Coulo ISSUE III IIlIS case oe-
cause the order was not accompanied by q
bill of items.
The Supreme Court says this conten-
ton cannot be supported. The order
was valid upon its face, and fulfilled
every requirement of the law.
The court also adds that, ''aside from
several reasons mentioned, it would seem
the evidence of the forgery of other
orders Of the same character, and at about
the same time, by the appellant in the
line of a systematic course of conduct,
would be admissible for the purpose OF
showing the guilty knowledge of the APP
pellant when he passed the forged order
relied upon in this case"
The judgment and order are affirmed.
