HARLOW ACQUITTED.
The Court Decided That Dodge Failed
to Prove His Case.

When the case of Dodge VS.. Harlow
came up in the Police Court the plaintiff
stated the doctor whom he wished to call
to testify that his eye became discolored
only after the second atfray was too sick
to attend court. He wished. however, to
introduce testimony to the effect that the
horse claimed by Harlow to have been
ruined by him was in good condition
when brought back and that someone
else injured him afterward. After some
argument the court decided not to admit
the testimony.
Tom Bohan testified that he saw
Dodge's eye shortly after the first affray
and it was nearly as black as now.
S. Guenn and z. Van Guelder saw
Dodge's eye about o'clock, two hours or
more before the second affray occurred,
and it was nearly as black as now.
City Attorney Post for the prosecution
and Harlow in his own behalf made brief
arguments. The court summed up the
evidence and said that the testimony was
very contradictory, and no effort had
been made to impeach that OF anyone.
He felt unable TO decide, as the prosecu-
ton had not proved it's case beyond a
reasonable doubt, as the circumstances
alleged were fatty contradicted. lie
therefore found Harlow not guilty.

END OF A BUSY LIFE.
Death of Pioneer Jacob Transue, Near
Michigan Bar.

Michigan Bar.
Jacob Transue, one of Sacramento's
oldest citizens, died at his home near
Michigan Bar on the 18th inst. Mr..
Transue was a resident of this county
for almost half century, and was identi-
fed with the early history and pioneer
days of California. He was born in 1923
at Crystal Springs, Northampton County,
Pa. When boy he removed with his
father to Ohio, and on reaching maturity
emigrated to illinois, where he was
married to Nancy Smiley.
They joined a company which was
headed for California. 1t was his purpose
to engage in mining, and IN 1852 he found
a favorable location at FL Dorado, in the
county OF that name. From the first he
was successful, and q few years later he
opened a valuable placer mine near
Michigan Bar. Il was also interested in
properties at Live Oak, on the Cosumnes
River.
Later he conceived the idea of turning
the channel of the river, thus laying bare
large deposits of gold known to be below
the turbulent stream. The work was ac-
complished at great expense, after work
ing all summer with force of men to
whom he paid $50 per day. The work
was completed, but the night before the
cleanup heavy rain in the mountains
sent deluge of water down the river,
which swept out the dams as if they were
so many piles of chaff.
The deceased in 1869 moved to Santa
Clara County on account of i'll health.
There, for some ten years, he was treated
by eminent physicians for a complication
of diseases. He afterWard removed back
TO Sacramento County, residing for some
time at Brighton Junction. Later he re-
moved back to the old Transue home
stead, near Michigan Bar.
He was respected by all who knew
him. His death was mourned by a large
circle of friends. He left no immediate
relatives except his wife.

WoRLD's FAIR GROUNDS, July 26.-The
trouble between Executive Commissioner
Biekford, of Montana, and Prof. w. n.
TrAphagsn. superintendent of Montana's
mining exhibit at the fair. seems to have
been due largely to the fact that Prof.
Traphagsn insisted upon q scientific elassi-
hcation Of the minerals against MIR. Bick-
ford's wishes. The former thought that
the specimens should be z ouped together
in the form OF associated ores, while the
executive commissioner wanted them ar
ranged bv localities In order that
duo credit might thus be given
the mine owners aud others who
had kindly lent them specimens. In
the clash that finally came Prof. Trapha-
gems resignstio was dem ,nded and given.
He left for his home in Deer Lodge, Mont,
Saturday, vowing that he would insist upon
an investigation Of the oausss that led to
his dsca pltatiou. No reflection 10 cast upon
the professors ability, the difficulty result
ing only from the fact that he would not
yield to superior In authority. II ia also
said that ths professor had made certain
remarks of some what personal nature to
which Commissioner B.ckford took decided
exceptions.
One result Of Prof. Traphagen's tstire-
msnt will be re- -olassi foation of the ores
in the exhitit aoco ding to the wishes of
the executive commissioner. Thls will de-
mand considerable labor.
