He finds 1t a Difficult Thing to Pro-
cure Fire Water.
A man who gave his name at the police
station as Tim Mcdonald was arrested on
Saturday night by Officer Cox for giving
liquor to Indians.
Mcdonald was seen by the officer to go
into Chinese store and on returning
pass a bottle of whisky to one of group
of six Indians.
Cox secured the flask of liquor as evil
dence, and took his prisoner to the city
jail.
ANOTHER CASE.
A tough-iooking individual, who gave
his name as John Flat, was also arrested
by Officer Cox about o'clock last night
Tor obtaining liquor for an Indian.
Cox caught the man in the act of pass
ing bottle of whisky to the Indian in a
shed near Melvin's blacksmith shop, on
l street, near Fourth. He also got hold
of the native, but the latter struggled
from his grasp and escaped.
The prisoner, searched at the police
station, was found to have some small
change in his pocket, but he protested
vehemently that he had worked for it,
and that he had not sold liquor to the
Indian.
His story was not favorabfy received
and he was locked up. 1t is as much a
crime to give liquor to an Indian as to
sell it to him.

THE WHEELMEN.
All the Crack Riders to Be Here on
Columbus Day.
The Capital City Club Preparing For
Great Meeting of Champions
and Others.

One of the pleasantest runs of the sea-
son was participated in yesterday by
Captain Hubert and eight others of the
Capital City Wheelmen. The run was to
Florin, to visit that genial friend of the
wheelmen, L. M. marlborough. Mr..
and Mrs. marlborough have a very
pleasant knack of entertaining their Wis
itors, and at least once or twice during
the season the wheelmen spend day en-
joying that hospitality.
A number of the Capital City Wheel
men attended the different race meets
throughout the State which have been
given lately, and have the promises of
the leading racing men that they will
surely attend the race meets in Sacra-
mento on Columbus Day, October 21st.
Everything bids fair for grand exhibit
ton Of bicycle racing in this city on that
day. In addition to the races there will
also be an exhibition Of fancy and trick
riding.
The track at Agricultural Park will be
in splendid condition, and experts saw
that undoubtedly several coast records
will be lowered. Several Sacramento
wheelmen are in active training, and it is
thought by those who are supposed to
know, that several of the valuable prizes
are likely to remain here.
For the novice race, George Hamlin
and III. 5. Wood are spoken of as very
likely men, and liable to surprise the
visitors. l.. S. Epson is expected to sup
port Sacramento's reputation among
the crack riders. Osen, the two-mile
champion, Edwards, Davis, Zelgler and
others of San Jose have their eyes on the
prizes. Bell, the tive-mile champion,
Lund, Pickard and others of Oakland,
Foster and Magin of Alameda, Wetmore,
Caldwell, Sperry, Marshall, Brown and
numerous others of San Francisco, be-
side large delegation from Stockton and
other cities, will participate.
On account of the unfortunate ending
of the Fourth of July meet, which was
to have been held here, Sacramento
seems to have gained the sympathy of
the entire State in the bicycling line, and
all clubs assure the local wheelmen of
their hearty support.
In all probability special train will be
run from San Francisco and vicinity to
accommodate the wheelmen and visitors
to Sacramento on that occasion.
This event will be the first State event
of the kind ever held in Sacramento. and
the citizens should turn out at the Park
in the afternoon to witness the races.

EBERHARDT NOT BATTERED.
His Charge Against Chief Rodgers wa
Not SubStantiated.

His Charge Against Chief Rodgers was
Not Substantiated.
Chief Rodgers was tried in the Police
Court on Saturday on a charge of battery
preferred by William Eberhardt.
Eberhardt and wife testified that Chief
Rodgers used unnecessary violence in ar
resting Eberhardt, who was burning rub
bish in violation of an ordinance, but the
evidence was not supported by those who
witnessed the arrest.
l.. l.. Walrath, G. A. Bullion and Officer
Clark were witnesses. but did not see that
the Chief used unnecessary force, but
said that Eberhardt was reluctant to sur
render.
Chief Rodgers stated that he called upon
Eberhardt several times to put out his fire
and when he finally obtained access to the
yard where he was Eberhardt refused to
accompany him, and he had to force him
up some steps. Eberhardt fell in going up
the steps. injured his arm, and hence arose
the action.
Justice Starr heard the case, at the re-
quest OF Judge Cravens, and found there
was not sufficient evidence to support the
charge, and discharged the CHIEF.

There were present, besides the Com

Chief Rodgers said he did not intend to
bring charges against Officer White, and
was willing to drop the matter. He gave
his version of the affair, and then Officer
White told his. The latter said he har-
bored no ill-feeling against the Chief and
was willing that the matter should be
dropped.
Judge Cravens, after hearing both
statements, said they agreed substan-
TALLY. Both the Chief and the officer, he
said, showed quick tempers, and he
thought they might have avoided the
trouble.
There was no acrimonious debate over
the matter, and everything ended pleas
antly, both the Chief and Officer White
agreeing that no good would come of

The Pealer Divorce Case in Court
Continuance.

The Pealer Divorce Case in Court-A
Continuance.
The divorce suit of Mrs. Martha A.
Pealer VS.. Charles Pealer was heard by
Superior Judge Van Fleet Saturday.
Mrs. Pealer testified that she was en-
gagged in the millinery business, and had
supported her husband for years. He
positively refused to work and insisted
upon depending upon her for support.
Finally he deserted her and went East.
The court, however, was not satisfied
with the evidence. 1t had not been
shown, he said, that Pealer desired his
wife to support him, and the evidence
showed that at the present time she was
not supporting him.

peared for the lady, ked for a continu-
ance, IN order that he might secure more
and stronger evidence. The request was

WILLIAMS WILL CONTEST.
Mrs. Auzera1s Was Legally Adopted
Contestants Routed

Mrs. Auzera1s Was Legally Adopted
Contestants Routed.
Superior Judge Van Fleet rendered an
important decision Saturday in ordering
the partial distribution of the estate of
Llewellyn Williams. deceased.
It will be remembered that bitter
contest was made by some relatives of the
deceased living in the East against the
heiress, Mrs. Auzerais-the adopted
daughter of the deceased capitalist.
They charged that she was never legally
adopted by Williams and that the de-
ceased was unduly influenced by her and
her adopted mother.
When Mrs. Auzerais petitioned for
partial distribution the contestants came
in with large-sized objection, for such
an order would simply mean that they
were mot in it," as the saying goes. The
attorneys on both sides fought the con-
test out on this issue and read law and
argued before the Judge for several
days.
Judge Van Fleets decision routs the
contestants completely, as he declares
Mrs. Auzerais' adoption to have been
legal.
