a Plea for Good Levees.

EDS. RECORD UNION: At the special
election to be held on the 18th inst, the
100000 for levee improvement should be
authorized.
The matter has been ably presented by
the press, and it would seem that little
more need be said, except to urge every
voter to go to the polls. 70 improve the
levees IN the manner proposed--system-
atically, as you have frequently urged,
and not by patchwork-is so in accord
ance with the common judgment that a
full vote cannot fail to carry the bonds
triumphantly.
We are on the eve of great opportuni-
ties. Power, practically unlimited, will
soon be available for manufacturing en-
terprises. Sacramento has unusual IA
cilities for distributing the products of
factories. But capital is sensitive. 1t
looks well to the security before it in
vests. Unless the plants can be secured
against the danger Of possible destruction
or damage from floods, capital will build
factories elsewhere.
The sum OF 100000, properly expended,
will make it evident TO all who are seek
ing such investments that Sacramento, so
desirable on other accounts, is entirely
safe in this respect. Let every voter be
at the polls, and act as good judgment
dictates, and we shall have the bonds, the
security and the factories, with greatly
Increased life on all hands.

The Way They Fought, and the Re-
suits OF the Combat.
J. II. Cheroki and Nick Stenger were
tried before Judge Cravens yesterday for
disturbing the peace. They are the men
who had fierce battle in K-street
restaurant on Saturday night, during
which Cheroki chewed Stenger's ear
almost off.
The evidence showed that Stenger went
into the restaurant first, took seat
serenely and invited the waiter to take
drink. About this time Cheroki came in,
political argument, which soon culmi-
mated in challenge to fight.
Stenger testified that Cheroki produced
81 80 and insisted on his producing the
same amount, and that they fight for the
money. Stenger had sore hand and
said he wouldn't fight.
Thereupon Cheroki clutched Stenger
by the throat, smashed him" several
times, and when Stenger fought back he
chewed the latter's ear until Officers
Lowell and Warner appeared and cap
tured the warriors.
Cheroki testified that Stenger called
him Russian Democrat, and offered to
fight him first, admitting that both of
them were drunk.
Judge CraVens decided, however, that
Cheroki forced the fighting and then re-
sorted TO bulldog tactics. He therefore
found him guilty and will pronounce
sentence to-day. Stenger was discharged,
and will now while away his time trying
to grow a new ear.

CITIZENS NOMINEES.
Shall They Go or the Official Ballot as
a Whole2
Or Must the Candidates File Petit
lions s-What County Clerk
Rhoads Says.

County Clerk Rhoads has addressed the
following communication to the Citizens
Association relative to the matter of plac-
ing its ticket on the official ballot to be
voted at the coming election:
MeSsrs. II. Weinstock and s. z. Car
rlngton, President and Secretary Of the
Catlze1lS' 4 C1l-GENTLEAIEN: |
herewith acknowledge receipt and filing
IN my office on October eth of the certifi-
cate of nominations made by the Citi-
zens' Association, in convention assem-
bled, September I'D, for the various
county offices to be voted tor at the next
general election, to be held November 8,
1892, and would respectfully call your at
tention to the fact that, while l have not
had sufficient time to thoroughly ex-
anime the matter, yet have given it some
examination and also consulted counsel,
and there appears to be considerable
doubt as to whether said certificate will
entltle the nominees therein named to
places on the regular ballot.
1t is not my desire to raise any techni-
cal objection to or take advantage of any
technicalities in the filing of certificates
of nomination, either by convention or
otherwise; on the contrary, it is my only
desire To perform my duty correctly and
perfect such ballot that there can be no
question whatever as to its legality; and
III ChlS COuIlCClyOl WOulu CALL your at
tention to the opinion rendered, in the
latter part of last month, by Attorney
General Hart, wherein this very matter
is discussed.
| would also state that while you gem
tlemen, as President and Secretary re-
spectively of the Citizens Association,
have made affidavit that said association
or party polled at least three per cent. of
the votes in the county at the last general
election, yet the records fail to disclose
that there was in existence at that time
such party or association, and that it, or
its nominees, received three per cent or
any votes whatever at said election. There
was at that election Citizens Republi-
can Ticket and Citizens Democratic
Ticket" both Of which polled some votes.
and TO get on the ticket at all as a party /
presume your association would have to
select either one of the names of the par
ties above mentioned.
AS / said before, while there is some
doubt as to your nominees having places
on the ticket, by virtue of your certificate
OF nomination, / take this means Of mott
tying you of that doubt, thus early, SO
that said nominees may get up petitions,
If they so desire, or that the Citizens AS
ISOLATION may take such steps as they
may deem proper. have the honor to
remain, yours very respectfully,

SIXTH STREET GRADE.
Lincoln White appeared before the
board to renew the demand of property
owners along Sixth street, from Z to II,
for some action that will insure them the
right to use the street for wagons outside
the railroad track, it being now. a narrow
grade. He admitted that the Southern
Pacific Company had the right to MAIN
tain its tracks there, but the people
wanted driving room outside the track.
Trustee Conklin said it seemed to him
that the property-owners held in their
own power the matter of grading and i'm
proving the street. If the railroad COM
pany had violated any ordinance, or any
OF its privileges, they might be proceeded
against, but he did not understand that
there was any complaint of that kind.
Mr.. White said all that was asked was
that the street be widened and improved
so that wagons could use it.
Trustee Green said that Superintend-
ent Wright had informed him some time
ago that the weighing scales on the track
would be removed, but it had not been
done.
After further discussion the matter
was, on motion of Trustee Conklin. re-
ferred to the Street Commissioner to in
YestIgate and report thereon.
CONTRACT ASSIGNED.

granted permission to transfer to James
Touhey his contract for improving

bird contest, a pastime which the Spoon
les, as club, do not indulge in.
In regard to the new challenge from
the Green Valley boys, it is q fact that on
several occasions the 'Spoonies' have
tried to arrange date on which to take
the conceit out of the "hill gang'' but
they always flunked, and last April when
money was laid down in Folsom for them
TO cover, the representative of the Green
valley boys carried away the swinging
door in making his hurried escape.
Nevertheless, whenever the Green
valley shooters. or any other body of
shotgun experts, desire to try conclusions
with the 'Spoonies' for money or mar
bles, at blue-rocks, all their shekels will
be covered by addressing the Secretary.
The Spoonbills have never been defeated,
and they think that something better
than the Green Valleyites will be re-
CURED to down them"

Tie Magic Squares.

EDS. RECoRD-U UNION: In my paper on
magic Squares" in your issue of Octo-
Der 1st, two errors crept in that may con-
fuse some readers. The paragraphs con-
corning the making of magic squares
whose induces are odd numbers, as ), 3, Z,
etc., should read as follows:
Place in the middle cell of the top line
Of cells. Drop to the bottom and move
one cell to the right for 2. Always pro-
coed upward to the right (diagonally)
filling each cell as you go so far as there
is an opening. Arriving at the right
hand OF the square, move clear over to the
left hand and up one cell for the next
number.
When you reach and record number
which, divided by the index Of the
square, leaves no remainder, the succeed
ing number must be placed in the cell
Immediately under it, When you get to
the top of the square, drop to the bottom,
moving one to the right. Continue as
above, and you will be sure to be correct.

The Rapid Reclamation of Fertile Bot

The Rapid Reclamation of Fertile Bot
tom Lands.
The Rio Vista NeUS states that Judge
Smith has a fine tract of 600 acres on
Brannan Island, adjoining Isleton, of
which this year he had 900 acres into bar
ley. 80 acres into beans, and 20 acres in
sweet potatoes, and other ranchers of the
island have nearly the same proportions
OF their ranches under cultivation.
The Judge says there is not drop of
water to be seen anywhere, and if no flood
comes this season the entire island will
be richsgarden-spot next year.
He thinks 1t is singular that the owners
cannot come to an agreement and effect
an organization, but he has done all he
can do or intends to do unless brighter
hopes of an amicable agreement are held
out.
The formation of a district, taking in
Brannan and the lower end of Andrus
Island, is the Judges idea of the most
feasible plan for protection against high
water.

August FISHERMAN Meets With n Ter
rible Accident.
A man named August Desberman, a
tramp, who was slowed away on a car
loaded with lumber, met with terrible
accident at Elk Grove on Saturday.
He was hidden between a fiat-car
loaded with lumber and box-car, and
the train stopped SO suddenly as TO shift
the lumber forward and crush the man
between it and the box-car.
The unfortunate mans cries attracted
attention, and he was released as soon as
possible. Both his legs We're found to be
broken, his thighs crushed, and he was
internally injured. He was removed to
the County Hospital, but is not expected
to live.
Desberman had been up in the vicinity
of Red Bluff, and was beating his way
toward Stockton. What little effects he
has are at Oakland, where he formerly
lived.
