There is only one place where land

DOLLIE STONE.
The Story of a Runaway Sacramento
Girl.
A Published Statement Which, if True.
Does No Credit to Young
Man of This City.

According to the San Francisco Post of
last evening, pretty young girl named
Dollie Stone was found in house Of i'll
fame at Zl3 Morton street, in that city,
last Sunday, under under circumstances
which throw much discredit upon George
Harney of Sacramento. The police were
notified about month ago that the girl
had left Sacramento, and would probably
be found in that city. She was found.
however, only after very long search
through various unsavory localities.
When first taken into custody the girl
admitted that she had come from Sacra-
mento with Harney, but she would max e
no charges against him. She refused to
go to her home, insisting that her father
had been SO cruel to her that she had no
desire TO live with him longer. The cir
cumstances We're such that the police
| officer finally determined to put charge
| Of yagrancy against the girl and bring her
before one OF The Judges, which was done
this'morning.
When pat upon the stand in Judge Rix's
court, the runaway was quite neatly
dressed and made good appearance. In
response To the questions of the Judge the
girl said:
am IL years old, and was living with
my father, who is a lumber merchant in
Sacramento. l left home because my
father was cruel to me. I believe his
| cruelty was what killed my mother
After she died my sister determined to
leave home, and when she had gone [
made up my mind TO go, too. / came
here month ago.
How did you happen to get into that
place on Morton street," asked Judge
Rix.
''Harney promised to find work for
me, and sent me to that place. I did not
know it was a house of ill-fame until
after he had taken me there. He has had
much Of the money l have earned. I
wanted TO go TO Sacramento, but Harney
would not let me-"
This rehearsal moved Judge Rix to
! great Indignation.
This does not show such a bad heart
in this little girl he said, but that man
Harney is vicious and ought to be ar
rested. He ought to be prosecuted, and
| the officer should have taken him into
custody. As the girl is willing to plead
guilty, will probably sentence her to-
| morrow morning"
Harney has been to the Chief of Police
urging the release of the girl, and is said
to have brought Influence" to bear.

Case Was Misunderstood.

Case Was Misunderstood
Second Trustee Erastus II. Green called
at the REcoRD-UNIoN Office yesterday to
make an explanation regarding his
official action on Monday in the matter of
the Lucey license petition. Mr.. Green
said that when he signed Lucey's petition
for license to conduct a saloon he did
not know that Lucey was the proprietor
of the notorious Rosebud dive, nor did
he learn otherwise until the petition was
discussed in the board at Mondays ses-
sion.
Mr.. Green did not deny that when
Lucey's petition came up he advocated
the granting OF the license asked for, but
says he changed his mind on the subject
alter hearing the objections urged by his
fellow Trustees.
He claims that when final action was
taken on the petition, and after he had
discovered that Lucey was the person
recently convicted of selling liquor with
out license, he voted as he supposed)
against granting the petition, but thinks
the mistake occurred by the Mayor sub
nitting the question on a negative mo-
ton. He voted No" under the belief
that he was voting against granting a
license
