The Central Committee Calls County
Convention for May 9th.
The County Central Committee of the
Peoples party of Sacramento met at
Grangers' Hall on Saturday.
G. a. Jenkins, Chairman, called the
meeting to order and explained that the
object was to arrange for a County Con-
vention of the party and to consider the
proposition to place a county ticket in
the field this fall. He said the conven-
ton would no doubt be brilliant one,
and that at least 600 delegates, represent
ing the different alliances and labor or
ganizations, would be in attendance.
A brief discussion was had on the con-
vention matters, and then A. a. Krull
moved that County Convention of the
party be called, to take place in this city
on May 24th, for the purpose of electing
delegates to the State Convention, which
takes place at Stockton on June lst, and
also to nominate full county ticket.
After some further talk it was decided
that the convention shall consist of ten
delegates from each county alliance, ten
from each labor organization, ten from
each city alliance, twenty-five from the
Citizens Committee of One Hundred,
twenty from Folsom, ten from Isleton
and ten from Walnut Grove.
The committee decided to hold regular
meetings each Saturday up to the time of
the convention and then adjourned.

RIDING THROUGH MUD.
Wheelmen Splash Through Yolo's
Adobe Highways to Winters.

Adobe Highways to Winters.
Owing TO the uncertain condition Of the
weather, but four of the Capital City
wheelmen took the o'clock train for
Davisville yesterday, and what time
they had of it!
Leaving Davisville the roads were in
splendid condition for eight miles, but it
started to rain just as the adobe roads
were reached. and then the wheelmen bad
q tough time of it. Ii anyone could have
seen four men pushing wheels over such
a road, with the rain coming down in tor
rents and the mud becoming deeper and
deeper at every turn of the wheel he
would have remarked as did the farmers
along the route: What crazy-house has
broken loose now?"
Finally the quartet reached Winters;
they were covered with mud from head
to foot. dripping wet, and in generally
deplorable condition. The first thing
thought of was something to eat, after
which and while inspecting the town, the
party had their photographs taken in
most striking attitudes, with some of the
ruined buildings as background.
just as the photographer finished his
work, three more of the Capital City
Wheelmen came in sight, but as they
came over the roads later on they
were In little better condition, but yet
were subjects of interest to the citizens
of Winters.
AS soon as the first four members of the
club arrived all thought Of continuing the
trip to Vacaville was given up, and four
ln-hand was engaged to transport them
back 10 Davisville At LaRne's farm.
three miles from Davisville, the team was
sent on its return trip, and wheels were
mounted for the remainder OF the jour
Hey.
Price, Hubert and Elliott rode the en-
tire trip on their wheels, and deserve
credit for their pluck. All met at Davis
vile, and the evening train was taken for
home. Those making the trip were
Messrs: Crocker, Knapp, Epson, Hubert,

WEARY OF LIVING.
David O. Lewis Tries TO Drown Him
self in the River,
But Was Rescued by Boating Party
He Was Sick, DesDondent and
Tired of Life.

About noon yesterday man was seen
to jump from the middle span. or draw,
of the railroad bridge into the river. The
river is up to the twenty-two-foot mark,
and the current very strong.
d. w. Johnston, j. Ochsner and L. f.
Butler, the latter a young gentleman
from Oakland, were boating just above
the bridge, and saw the man jump into
the river. The three young men rowed
immediately to the rescue, and reached
the man when he was sinking probably
for the last time.
By this time the man had got some dis
tance down the stream, and in the strug-
glewith the current the rescuers' boat was
nearly capsized, shipped quantity OF
water and lost a pair of oars. When the
man was finally rescued it was impossi-
bic 10 get him into the boat, as it could
sustain no additional weight.
The only recourse of the young men
was to tow him ashore, and after fasten-
ing rope under his arms the rescuers
pulled rapidly TO land within a few rods
of the Receiving Hospital.
The half-drowned man was hurried to
the receiving-room, and his rescuers,
with Jaiier McManus and Special Officer
Greer, worked with him for some time,
and in about an hour he was apparently
all right.
When interviewed by aREcoRD-UNIoN
reporter the man gave his name as David
o. Lewis. He stated that he had been in
Sacramento about three years, ana was
farmer, but OF late had been in the en-
ploy of l.. G. Kameyer, contractor.
Lewis says kameyer owes him SI6 for
work, but he had not been able to collect
it. He was about out of money, and be-
came sick and respondent, and deliber-
ately sought to end his life by jumping
into the river.
When asked if he had been drinking
he replied:
''No, sir; never drink anything, and
l am not crazy nor demented. was tired
of living, and thought | would rather
die-that is the reason L tried to drown
myself"
He stated further that he had borrowed
s. of some friend and had been unable to
repay it. He has son somewhere in
New York, who he says is a college
graduate. He thinks his sonis in Porters-
vile, n. y. He was teaching school
there when last heard from.
Lewis is an intelligent man. and is
without doubt q sober and industrious
one, judging from his appearance. He
is about 45 or 80 years old. He seems
simply to have been unfortunate, and
became i'll and discouraged. He was well
cared for at the Receiving Hospital, pro-
vided with Cry clothing and a warm
meal. Late in the afternoon he seemed
to have entirely recovered, and positively
asserted that he would not attempt to
take his life again. He was advised to
go to the County Hospital for a few days,
and will doubtless do so.
His rescuers deserve great credit for
their timely aid and plucky action. They
handled their boat with great skill, under
trying circumstances, and took desperate
chances in aiding the unknown man
