Several Persons are Anxious to be
Appointed His Guardian.
The hearing of the matter Of the guard
ianship and person Of John Spitzbarth
will probably como up to-day before
Judge Johnson.
Spitzbarth, who is native of Germany
and about 90 years old, has been a resi-
dent of this city for many years, and is
quite well-known, having been bar
tender in many of the saloons. As he
has taken care of his money he has &C
cumulated $4,000 or $4,000.
His mind, however, has become weak,
and he is not fit to take care Of himself.
he is under the impression that every
one wishes to rob him, and when at the
County Hospital some time ago he
escaped, and told his friends that the
nurses were trying to poison him. He
will not pay any attention to the advice
OF his oldest and most intimate friends,
and has been taken advantage OF by peo-
pie who, knowing his intirmity, charge
MIN several prices for such things as he
needs or buys.
A short time ago he flew into a rage
with friend who advised him to make
his will and leave his property to his
brother, who is in Germany, but he re-
fused, saying that he was not going TO
die, and he refuses to tell what his
brothers. address is.
George f. BrOnner, the Public Admin
istrator, will apply for letters of guard
ianship, and will have the Endorsement OF
large number Of prominent Germans.
Several other persons are also anxious to
have the handling Of the old mans
estate, and will also apply for letters.

STOCKTON OR SACRAMENTO ?
Which Shall Figure as a League
Ball Town?
Manager Moore Prefers TO Stay at
Home, If the Stoclltonians Win
Only Put Up.

1t IS not yet a foregone conclusion that
1.-THE best ball town in the State, outside
of san Francisco" otherwise Sacra-
mento), will have team in the State
baseball League, judging from the fol-
lowing statement made in the Stockton
Independent:
1T is by no means assured that the
Stockton baseball team will go to Sacra-
mento, although there is a likelihood
that it will if no movement to keep 1t
here is made. Baseball teams cannot be
supported without money-even in
Stockton. A proposition has come from
Sacramento to give the club bonus of
q 900 to come there, and, beside, to guar
antee the manager against loss. The Sac
ramento people realize that the Stockton
team, as now made up, IS one OF the best
teams in the league. 1t has the best
pitcher in Harper, one OF the best batters
in Whitehead, and an outtield in Man
nassau, Roberts and Lawrence that is SIM
ply out of sight. The only thing now
lacking is a good coacher and man to
take Fanning's position who will be
halfway steady. 1t can be predicted that
the team as it now stands will easily take
a majority of games played.
with a new pitcher and a man who
can coach and keep from mapping it will
be very singular, indeed, If the team does
not lead the league in the next season,
commencing July 9th. The managers
who are running the other teams, Har-
ris, Gieschen and Lindley, are agreed
that nothing but bad luck has kept the
Stocktons back thus far. 1t is hard to
see how anything else can keep them
from taking the lead in the future.
Johnnie Moore, manager of the team,
wants to keep the boys here in Stock
ton. With a prospect of fair attendance,
he will keep it here in spite of the Sacra-
mento offer. Moore has not asked Stock
ton for a cash subscription and will not
ask it. IL is singular, though, that some
of the Stockton friends of the game have
not offered to put up enough to tide the
club over until with winning games the
attendance picks up. There are plenty
of men in Stockton who would be willing
TO subscribe to such a fund and in Sacra-
lnentO the street-car company alone put
up $3.50 whereas in Stockton the street
car company has not put up cent and
has done nothing to aid the game beyond
giving the free use of the grounds and
free rides TO the managers and teams"
FROM ANOTHER SOURCE.
The Stockton loiL takes a similar
view of the situation. 1t says:
1T is said that a petition signed by
perhaps 500 people, each pledging HIM
self to attend one or two games each
week, would probably keep the club
here. 1t has also been proposed to disar-
range the present schedule to enable one
more series to be played here before this
season ends. If this be done, and the
residents of Stockton show then that they
desire to retain the club, it would remain
here, since the players personally prefer
this city"
1t would seem from the above that the
Stockton monkey continues to find the
Sacramento cats paws very convenient
in raking baseball chestnuts out of the
fire.

GOMEZ ASSAILANT.
Judge Buckley Orders Re-examina-
ton of Jose Casa.

Judge Buckley Orders a Re-exanina-
ton of Jose Casa.
f. c. Hart, counsel for Jose Casa, ap-
peared before Judge Buckley in the Po-
lice Court yesterday morning, and asked
that the preliminary examination of Jose
Casa, for assault to murder Thomas Go
mez, be reopened, and that the order
holding Casa to answer to the Supe-
rior Court be set aside.
Casa was examined on Tuesday last
and held to answer, but since then Mr..
Hart has found several important wit
nesses who, he says, will testify to facts
directly contrary to those sworn to by the
witnesses on Tuesday. He said he be-
Heved that most of the witnesses exam
med then testified wrongly and were in
huenced by their animosity to Casa.
he said, also, that an investigation of
the marks LETT by the bullet said to have
been fired by Casa. showed it to have
taken course that it could not possibly
have taken if it was fired by Casa from
the place where the witnesses deliberately
charged him with standing at the time.
City Attorney Post offered no objection
and Judge Buckley set aside the order
holding Casa to answer and ordered the
examination renewed tomorrow.
In doing so the Judge said if there was
new evidence of such a contradictory
character it was well TO hear it before
sending the case to the Superior Court.

Something to Reflect On.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: Since you have
taken such an interest in the matter of

deem it my duty as a citizen of that city
10 give you description of what | have
seen personally on a trip up the river
My business is that of travelling man,
and, while l have the interests of Sacra-
mento at heart, have made it a point on
this trip (Which has been along the river
to this point to investigate the nature of
the refuse, debris, etc., that is thrown into
the Sacramento River and its tributaries,
and If you can find space for this account
! think it will open the eyes OF many of
our people to the fact that we must have
different water supply.
Every town, city and village along the
Sacramento River and its tributaries
dump all their refuse into the river l

before / reached the city of Colusa. and /
thought the climax was reached when
found the sewage OF that and all towns or

river dumped into that stream; but when

pump-house there l was dun bounded,
l tell you that capped the climax |
entered into conversation with John
Coltord, Jr., who is the engineer, and
asked him where that green slime he was
He informed me it was sipare and saw
age combined-the refuse from the wooden
mills, from the stock-yard, COW corraIs
and Chinese vegetable gardens, which
were inundated in consequence of the
high water last winter.
Imagine my surprise when he told me
he was pumping twelve-inch stream of
that filthy matter into the Nuha River.
which empties into the Feather River
and thence into the Sacramento. The
stencil surrounding that pumphouse is
something unbearable, and | asked him
if he enjoyed good health while at his
post OF duty pumping such stuff into
the river.
He gave me look | will never forget.
Look at me! Do | look like healthy

have also just relieved my stomach by a

About that time began to feel the eff
fects OF the atmosphere surrounding US.
and made for the nearest avenue of
escape, and If after the sight ! have seen
in the Marysville lowlands, and the filth
have seen go into the river, escape the
cholera, shall consider myself very for

The case was appealed to the Supreme
Court, and Judge Buckley and Henry
Edgerton were his counsel, but the SUI

Mainly through the efforts of his de-

The man had large number Of friends
