HERALD representative visited the Plaza
ranch yesterday, for the purpose OF see
ing Silkwood and interviewing Mr..
Willete, and in the course OF converse
ton was informed that the great horse
would not again be seen in race. ut
is probable" said the gentleman, THAT
l NAV drive Silkwood for record as a
trotter, the coming season, FOR the horse
is a natural trotter, but outside OF this
he will not be worked" The owner OF
Silkwood feels confident that the horse
can lower the pacing record he now has.
and says he will keep him in Orange
county.
The keeping OF such horses as Silk
wood, Blackwood and Nutiord in this
county will result in the horse interests
increasing. Already the horses in Orange
county are valued away up into the
hundreds of thousands, and there are
some grand colts coming on. Noticeably
among these is s. A. Goldstein's 2-year-
old stallion Addwood, by Silkwood out
of Ricetta, and others. Next season
will see a great advance in the interest
y
look to a great race meeting at our next
annual fair.
WITH HIS LITTLE GUN.
ST.. Finley is before the superior
court on trial for assault with deadly
weapon, committed some time ago upon
the person of J. B. Moulin. 1t seems
that there is skeleton lurking in the
domestic concerns of these two men,
and this eliminated in an impromtu
duel in a saloon here some time since, in
which both men came out much the
worse for wear. Moulin and Finley are
not models of perfection. The trial OF
the case was commenced this morning,
most of the day being spent in secur-
ing jury. The case will be resumed
tomorrow.

By the decision rendered in the case
of the Santa Ana and Westminster Rail-
way company Va. Sherman ct al, some
thing will have to be done by the rail-
way company, and that soon. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that the damages
are to be paid. When this vexatious
matter is finally settled, we may expect

ment will mean much to Orange county.

and decided to institute suit against the
board of supervisors OF this county, to
test the validity of an ordinance repeal
ing an ordinance fixing WAYS and
means for establishing and main
tanning a law library in this county.
The economical board of supervisors

the board. 9. G. Hamilton, one of the
