CRAZY THIS TINE.
John Taylor Recaptured and Sent to
the Stockton Asylum.
Not sLarrupin Jack,' But China
Gin Flend-Accused of Setting
Fire to Building.

John Taylor. "China-gin" fiend, who
was arrested several weeks ago and
sentenced TO 100 days Imprisonment in
the County Jail, was examined for the
second time by the Insanity Commission
ers yesterday.
When examined about a week ago
Jailers McManus and Johnson of the
City and County Jails, respectively, told
the doctors that Taylor had been cutting
up strange capers since his arrest. At the
City Prison, while confined in the hobo
CELL" he gathered up the hats of his cell
mates and, piling them up on the floor,
set them aiire. Since his arrival at the
county's bastile he has been tearing up
blankets and mattresses, putting on all
the clothes he could get hold of and re-
sorting to other similar antics. When
questioned by the doctors, however, lay
Tor talked nationally and explained his
queer actions by saying he supposed he
"hadn't recovered fully from his jag"
when indulging in them. The doctors
concluded that was about the way matters
stood, and declined to send Taylor to an
asylum.
Taylor was then ordered committed to
the County Hospital for treatment, but
while en- route to that institution in the
county ambulance he escaped and was
not seen again until yesterday, when he
was recaptured. This time Taylor was at
his old tricks. He was found wearing
several articles of female attire, including
corsets, petticoat and the like.
Alter examining Taylor yesterday, the
doctors concluded that he was insane, and
committed him to the asylum at Stock
ton. Deputy Fay took him there on the
evening train. Taylor was arrested yes
terday on suspicion of having set fire to
the small building at woodward on
street, at an early hour in the morning.
TAYLOR was found trying to chop open
the iron safe with an ak, after the fire
was under control, dressed as above de-
scribed.
1t is thought that he was sleeping in
the building and set fire to it accidentally,
or carelessly.

A RANCBBR'S MISTAKE.
Instead of Loading His Wagon, He
Takes Load on Himself.

Instead of Loading His Wagon, He
Takes Il Load on Himself.
In the Police Court yesterday A. r.
Lord, arrested while drunk, explained
that he lived in the country and came to
town with a team. He got the load on
himself, instead of on the wagon, but it
was quite by accident, and it was posi-
lively his first time"
Mr.. Lord spoke up very candidly, and
the Judge told him he had better take the
team home forthwith.
jerry Tolly had also been too drunk for
| city regulations, and he smiled a soft
shelled smile when given an opportunity
to explain.
Being a young man, Judge Cravens
thought he could afford to pay S. for the
| attention he had received.
Bill Smith, charged with vagrancy, had
his case continued until to-day.
Jack Leonard, a man old and gray
enough to be moro conservative, was ar
ralgned for being a common drunkard.
| The officers testified to his fondness for
the gln-mills in the Chinese quarter, and
the frequency of his appearance at the
City Jail-always drunk.
Judge Cravens also recognized him as
one OF his most unreliable patients. How
ever Leonard produced a witness for
whom he had worked, and made such a
vigorous plea in defense of his liberty
that he was discharged with some good
advice.
"Tl trust you again, Jack" said his
honor, but it will be a case of common
drunk next time, sure, and you will get
six months"
And then the knight with the white
hair strobe away, and the court adjourned.

J. NJ. Sullivan, the well-known Demo-

fell him during stormy night last week.
"What do you think of my being held

related the occurrence, which was sub-
stantially as follows:
1t was about midnight, and quite dark.

Judge Cravens was loaded Yesterday,
tiguratively speaking There was to have
been meeting of the Police Commits
sioners in the afternoon, and the Judge
had prepared a broadside to be directed
at Chief Of Police Rodgers-and Incl
dentally at the latter's friends and de-
tenders.
The session was not held, as Mayor
Comstock failed to put in an appearance,
but 1t was stated that meeting would be
held to-day, when Commissioner Cravens
would unload his Pandora-box on
Rodgers head
The document which Judge Cravens
proposes to read is said to be very
voluminous and written in gall, and that
when unrolled it fairly emits sparks of
ire. 1t is understood to contain bitter
arraignment of Chief Rodgers for alleged
!ncompetency, and even worse, and to be
intended as justification of the authors

Mr.. Bates opposed the proposition, but
Chairman Greer explained that money
turned over to the association and ex-
pended by the association was not lost to
the county. as the State paid it back. It
would therefore be quite proper. he said,
that the SS3 should be paid back to Mr..
Dale.
Acting on the Chairman's suggestion
the board ordered the money returned.

ALLEGED SWINDLE.
A Placer County Widows suit Against
Sacramentans.

SdCFainSuLanSs
Suit has been instituted in Placer
County in which Mary E. Watts, widow
residing near Coltax, is plaintiff, and
William s. Kendall, James A. Scott, J.
Schiller and Mary L. Ross of this city are
defendants.
The plaintiff alleges that Scott, Ken
dali and Schiller by fraud and misrepre-
sentation procured her signature to a
document which proves to be a deed of
trust to lands in Placer County to the de-
PENDANTS; that Kendall claims to have
loaned $1,000 to Scott on the said deed OF
trust, and which he holds to be lien
against the plaintiffs land.
Scott is the man who is charged with
having secured 81, ,l00 from Mr.. and Mrs.
s. LOmas by fraud. He secured the con-
fidence of Mrs. Watts by making love to
her and receiving promise of marriage.
Mrs. Watts complains that Scott then set
to work to swindle her. in which under
taking he successfully conspired with
Kendall and the latter's clerk.
