Larceny. Malicious Mischief, Vile Lit

BillIngsgate.

Assistant District Attorney Jones re-
turned yesterday morning from Walnut
Grove, whittier he had gone to prosecute
). Duckmanton, Fred Rudolph, his
adopted son, and Mary Hughes-the first
named for helping himself to TWO dollars
worth of hay belonging to c. Mckenzie;
the boy for malicious mischief, i'll de-
stroying notice posted on McKenzie's
barn, and tho woman for demonstrating
to what depths one of her sex can de-
scend when it comes to the use of foul
language.
Mckenzie and Duckmanton are both
tenants of Frank Deball, who is in this
city under a DOCTORS care. Duckmanton
admitted having taken small quantity
of hay from the barn, but made the de-
Tense in Justice Figg's court that he was
to have been provided with hay by De-
ball, and therefore had a right to it.
The jury did not agree with the defend
ant and found him guilty.
/ The Rudolph boy was shown to have
/ torn down the notice placed on the barn
I by Mckenzie, warning persons against
! entering it. and to have substituted there

spicuous for their vulgarlty as for the bad

Mary Hughes, Duckmanton's house
keeper-who probably educated the boy,
or at least fully demonstrated her ability
to have done so-pleaded guilty to hav-
ing disturbed MckenZie's peace by hurl-
ing broadsides of billingsgate at him.
The trio will all appear before the local
Justice on Monday next to receive their
sentences.
Pending the trial of the above cases, the
barn that held the hay that Duckmanton
stole, that bore the placard young Ru-
dOlph wrote in language that Housekeeper
Hughes delighted i'll, ct cetera, was de-
stroyed by lire, with its contents.
Under the circumstances there is a
pretty strong suspicion abroad in that
community that the barn did not set fire
to itself just for the fun of the thing. II
it was the work of an incendiary, there is
no proof thereof at hand, but the matter
is being Investigated, and there may yet
| be some interesting developments in the
case.

BASEBALL TALK.

Colonel Robinson Thinks Sacramento
VIII be in 1t.
Colonel Robinson, the baseball man
ager, is still in the city looking after his
project of bringing one of the league
teams here and placing Sacramento on
the summer schedule in place of Stockton.
AS stated yesterday, the Colonel wants
a guarantee of about $1,000 from the citi-
zens, to cover the expense of putting
Snowflake Park into such tirst-class con-
dition that it will be pleasure for people
to attend the games, and to pay the ex-
pense of bringing here two or three first
class Eastern players to strengthen the
weak places in the Stockton team.
The success of the project largely de-
pends upon the decision of George +.
Bates, the owner of the ball park, on
Colonel Robinson's application for a NOM
inal rental for the summer. The Colonel
proposes to SO improve the grounds that
he thinks Mr.. Bates could afford to allow
their use at Il sum sufficient to cover
taxes, etc. The latter will be in the city
to-day, and if his terms should be rea-
sonable there seems to be little doubt that
the proposed deal with the Stockton man
ager will be carried out.
Several citizens have already assured
Colonel Robinson of their willingness TO
subscribe literally, feeling that it would
be to the city's interest to have place in
the league, with a tirst-class team capable
of winning victories away from home.
Ii he succeeds in carrying out his plans,
the Colonel proposes to reunitorm the club
and to have a grand street parade in San
Francisco on the occasion of the first
game there with a Sacramento team. The
horses drawing the vehicles containing
his players are to wear gorgeous trap
pings bearing the name OF Sacramento
in large letters, and with the Capital City
otherwise represented on the vehicles.
He thinks that with strong team, such
as he proposes to have, the city will re-
ceive better advertising abroad than she
could possibly get in any other way for
the same outlay.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, TO
land Of fair average quality, and is offered At
from $40 to 500 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, so, 100, so and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only Tor three years, ;it which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installmcnts. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum.
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination Of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase Of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object Of the purchase of this
body of land q hren Of a 10 roo
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

lie heard many complaints from boys
that the Chinese and japanese are being
given the preference for employment in
the orchards and on farms, and in some
OF the towns in grain growing localities
there appears to be very little business
doing.
The trouble seems to be-as the REC
ORD UNION has time and again shown
that the agricultural lands are falling into
the hands of few wealthy and grasping
nabobs, who farm their properties on a
big scale, while the population in many
localities is really diminishing. This is
the greatest evil that the State has to con-
tend against, and if not check ed in some
way the interior farming localities must
suffer severely.

MYSTERIOUS CASE.
A Man Bleeding and Unconsciou
Found On the sidewalk.

About 4 o'clock yesterday morning a
man was found lying in front of X
street restaurant, near Third, in an un-
conscious condition, and with a bad
wound on the head.
There was large stream of blood
across the pavement which had come
from his wound, and his injury seemed
to he a serious one.
A man who was passing discovered the
unfortunate and telephoned to the police
station. He received the reply that there
was no officer there. but the case wo aid
be looked after.
He answered that the man might be
dying for all he could say, and urged the
jailer TO send some one to take him to the
Receiving Hospital.
The man was shortly after picked up
and removed and the blood was washed
from the sidewalk, but DO one seems to
know anything further about the mysteri-
Gus case.
