f. j. Stevens Badly Battered by Will
lam Newcome in Hotel.
William Newcome and f. J. Stevens
were arraigned before Judge Cravens
yesterday, charged with disturbing the
peace of the International Hotel.
Stevens was badly battered about the
head, and pleaded not guilty, while New
come pleaded guilty.
Stevens testified that Newcome chal-
lenged him to shake dice for quarter at
the bar He declined to shake dice, but
offered to play any game at cards that
NeWcome was familiar with, and thence
ensued an argument which eliminated in
quarrel, whereupon Newcome knocked
Stevens down and kicked him about the
head and face IN brutal manner.
lie treated me as | would not have
treated dog, or anything else" said
Stevens, and his swollen features, cut and
bruised as they were, seemed TO subStan-
tate the statement.
Officer Ahern testifi ed to making the
arrest and to finding Newcome standing
over Stevens in aconvincing attitude, but
he saw no blows given.
The barkeeper at the International tes-
titled, but was singularly ignorant of the
particulars of the occurrence. Although
he stood behind the bar at the time. he
AASiSAiOi saw hOA hCelIA, l1OI
anything, apparently, but thought the
row was about dog.
stevens dog was in court with him,
and was large, intelligent spaniel. He
found vacant chair beside his master at
the bar of justice, and esconsced himself
therein, where he assumed dignitied
and attentive attitude during the trial
The Judge found Stevens also guilty of
the charge of disturbing the peace, and
will pronounce judgment to-day.

PATENT SPRINKLERS.
Something the City Should Purchase
and Operate.
needed Reform in Street Sprinklinc-
Large Sums Now Paid for
Poor Work.

some weeks ago the RECoRD-UNToN
called attention to the fact that one of the
modern street-sprinklers, of the kind
manufactured by Studebaker Bros. OF
south Bend, Ind, had been brought here
tor inspection and trial by the City Trus-
Tees and sprinkling contractors, and it
was then suggested that the city should
own wagons of That or some similar de-
sign and do its own sprinkling.
Inc change could not be made this year,
ol course, as contracts had already been
1eV' but 1t would be well to consider the
hiaCIer IN the meantime, and if the esti-
mates OF cost and running expenses that
WeIl-Informed citizens have made can be
verified, it would be right and proper for
the city to undertake next year the pro-
Ject OF doing her own street sprinkling.
One of these patent sprinklers is now
being operated on the principal streets by
Len Spurgeon, and all have an opportu-
NIFTY 10 see how neatly it does it work.
IN company with T. y. Lauder, the Sac
ramento agent for Studebaker Bros, a
reporter yesterday followed the wagon
!or several blocks, and carefully observed
us method Of sprinkling.
Ihe tank holds $50 gallons of water,
.
and spreads it over space nearly forty
feet wide. The spray can be regulated at
the will of the driver. In passing a
buggy, street-car or other vehicle, all the
driver has TO do is press treadle and in
stantly the spray on that side is shut off
completely, while the other continues to
do its work. These wagons are splendidiy
made, and are ornamental, whereas the
old-style vehicles and tanks in general
use are most primitive and unSightly, and
DO miserable work.
1t now costs the city between $4,000
and $4,000 per year for a very poor
sprInkling service. and it is believed that
the Trustees could purchase all the patent
sprinklers necessary to do the best of
work at nearly one-half that cost and
save enough in a couple of seasons to pay
the cost of the wagons.
Even though the Trustees should not
see fit to have the city do its own sprin-
king, they should at least require the
modern-improved sprinklers to be en-
ployed by the contractors. The people
pay well for having the streets wet down,
and are entitled Ito the best possible serv-
Ice. There are plenty of persons who
Will purchase and use these sprinzlers
for the purpose if the city will demand
them.

THE COMING CONVENTION.
Preparations for the Big NTeetir
Actively ON Foot

Preparations for the Big Meeting
Actively on Foot.
Arrangements for the coming Republi-
can State Convention, which is to take
place in this city, are progressing nicely.
On Thursday evening at the Golden
Eagle Hotel there was a meeting OF the
committee having charge of the arrange
ments. The committee is composed of
Charles t. Jones, j. w. Wilson, b. w.
Cayanaugh, A. J. Johnston, w. H. Ennis.
Z. ii. Hubbard, j. b. Gilbert, w. f.
Knox, Jr., w. Ii. Govan, DR.. f. f. Teb-
belts and Frank D. Ryan. The commit
tee organized by electing Charles T..
Jones Chairman, w. II. Ennis Secretary.
and Z. ii. Hubbard Treasurer.
Jake Steppacher, Assistant Secretary of
the State Central Committee, conferred
with the local committee and gave some
valuable information. The matter of ex-
penses. was discussed and it was ascer-
tanned that the committee would have
little or no trouble on this score.
ms evening the committee will have
another meeting at Charles L. Jones'
Office, when the various necessary sub
committees viii be appointed and other
details attended to.

photographs of unidentified remains at
the Morgue, was rejected until the board
could get some light on the matter.
Chairman Greer. the economist of the
board, said he would not pass such a bill
until the board could be assured that it
was correct. Such a bill had never been
presented before, he said
The bill of Reeves IL Long for $50, for
burying dead soldier, was also rejected.
The burial took place some eighteen
months ago, and it appears that Ut that
time the county had a contract with j..
Miller to make such burials. As Miller
would not certify to this bill it was not
passed.
Edward Walsh's bill for $40 was also
rejected. He claimed this amount as a
rebate on liquor license which he had
taken out. 1t appears that before his
license had expired the City Trustees had
shut up his place of business. The Su-
pervlsors, however, declared that the
county had not shut him up and was
therefore not responsible.

The suit of the Chinaman All Tie
against the Chez Kong Tong Company to
recover Sl22 so. alleged to be due for serv-
ices rendered by him as an Interpreter.
was concluded before Justice OF the Peace
Henry yesterday.
More testimony was introduced by the
company, showing that Tie had been in
the habit of making demands regularly
for money, which he said was necessary
to pay over to City Attorney Hart and
other officials. Finally the company
''smelled rat" and refused to pay out
any more money. Then All Tie com
menced suit.
City Attorney Hart made sworn state
ment. lie detailed how he had been in
formed of the discovery of the All Tie re-
ceipt, how he procured a search warrant.
and found the letter written on one of his
blanks. he said he was in San Francisco
when the letter was written, and alluded
to the fact that All Tie had attempted to
have Thomas Allen indite Just such an
epistle, signing the City Attorneys name.
Mr.. Hart also called attention to the fact
that he had little to do with the Fong
Sheung case, General Hart having been
employed as special counsel. All Tie had
never said one word to him about the
Fong Sheung case except to remark one
day that General Hart was a bitter
lawyer.
Justice Henry decided against All Tie,
giving judgment for the defendants for
costs.

Nichols, agent of the Southern Pacific
Company, tapped the wires and notified
the Division Superintendent of the danger
to the town. Mr.. Newton. foreman of
the engine, informs US that when the ward
engine arrived in Elk Grove they were
met by an efficient fire brigade, under
the supervision of Oliver Sunderhaus of
Sierra City, assisted by James Graham,
Clarence Pierson, ID. J. Stevens and sew
eral citizens, who were struggling with
buckets and pumps, and when the engine
arrived it was received with cheers. The
firemen used the hose with great effect.
The people of Elk Grove were very
thankful for the assistance rendered and
were profuse in their expressions thereof
toward Superintendent Wright, for with
out the aid of the engine the entire town
would have been burned.
The Western Union Telegraph office
was at the use of the citizens, and the sew
cred connections were repaired at $50
A. NJ. yesterday.
All the freight and baggage was saved
from the depot.
The citizens of Elk Grove are now de-
termined TO at once provide a system of
fire protection, and owners of the burned

SING LEES BILL,

1t Amounted to So, and He Failed to
Collect 1t at Cost of SO.
Sing Lee, the Chinese peddler charged
with disturbance of the peace, was
found guilty by Judge Cravens yesterday
and fined $40.
Three sisters named Paladini testified
to the same statement-that Lee called to
collect bill at half-past in the morn
ing. before the elder girl, Flora, was pre-
pared to see callers. In fact, she was still
in bed.
Sing Lee tried the door, and, finding it
locked, he attempted the window raised
a howl that frightened the sisters, and
attracted number of neighbors to the
scene. Sing Lee demanded his money,
or threatened to kill the oldest girl, and,
as she stated, flourished knife
The Chinaman acknowledged on the
stand that he may have threatened to kill
her, but as he evidently did not under
stand clearly and was greatly confused,
he got off with moderate fine.
When the judgment of the court was
explained TO Lee he began an emphatic
harangue in Chinese, which was doubt
less laden with inyectives and desultorv
EXPLANATIONS uncomplimentary to the
court.

As many OF the appeals for pardon or

Utility resting upon the Governor is a

I. D. Pike, who resides at 2023 Twenty

the house unoccupied, his wife having
gone to spend the evening at a neighbours.
When Mr.. Pike undertook to light the
lamp he found the chimney hot, showing
that the light had just been extinguished
Then he went after Mrs. Pike, and when
they returned and relighted the lamp
they found their home had been ran
sacked by a burglar, and a box contain
ing quantity of family jewelry was
gone.
The burglar, or burglars, doubtless
heard Mr.. Pike entering the house, and
then extinguished the light and fled by
the rear. There is no clew to the perpe-
traitors of the robbery.
