CARRIE JONES' CASE
1t Has Been Referred TO the Grand
Jury for Investigation.

III mas Been Referred TO the Grand
Jury for Investigation.
Albert Foss, charged with having in
duced the girl named Carrie. Jones to
leave her home and live with him, was
bound over by Judge Johnson yesterday
to await the action of the Grand Jury.
George Ordway and woman known as
"Slim," who are charged with assisting
Foss to influence the girl to leave her
home, were locked up to await an inves-
tigation.
The application for the commitment of
the girl to the Whittier Reform School
was argued and submitted in Department
Two of the Superior Court.
Judge Johnson and District Attor-
ney Ryan inquired into the case, how
ever, and decided to submit it to the
Grand jury for investigation.
Othcer Ferral, in looking up witnesses
IN the case, learned that the girl, who is
about 10 years Of age, went to the Glee-
man House about l o'clock in the morn
ing on the day before Christmas. She
was alone, and the landlady gave her a
room, as it was storming heavily and she
said she had no place to 60.
She remained at the Gleeman House
two days and nights, and through a Mrs.
Rodden she was made acquainted with
Ordway, who told her story to Foss.
According to Ordway and Foss, the latter
took liking to Carrie and provided a
room for her at J-street lodging-house.
Foss yesterday offered to marry the
girl and provide for her, and she too was
willing To have the case settled in this
way, but it seems her father objected.
Foss is a man Of about 40 years, and the
disparity in their ages was seemingly the
chief objection.
A fter hearing all ahOut tho case ,TudCa
johnson decided it was one to be investi-
gated by the Grand Jury, and both Ord
way and Foss were locked up in the
County Jail pending the investigation.
The girl is also IN the County Jail.
1t is not unlikely that the result of the
inquiry will be damaging to some of the
parties concerned in the case.

How the Lisbon Levee Was Saved
Varmints'' on Ryer Island.
John II. Bryan of Richland was in the
city yesterday, and states that on the
night of December 18th 450 feet of the
leyee in the Lisbon District, near where
the dredger stands, commenced to slide
down into the ditch on the inside. A
force of men was Immediately put to
work placing sacks at the bottom of the
levee, and after three days and nights
work, and by putting in about 10000
sacks, they managed to hold it and render
1t safe, and they are confident it will now
stand all right, the water having fallen
three feet.
The inhabitants worked with will,
and the result is such that residents of
other threatened districts in other places
can well afford TO follow in the footsteps
OF the Lisbon District people.
A CHANCE FOR TRAPPERs.
A gentleman from Ryer Island stated
yesterday that the water having covered
the island, the birds and animals had
taken refuge on the narrow strip of levee,
and hunter yesterday had in a few
hours bagged eighty quail, four coons
and three minks.
The flood is not an unmiXed evil, if the
landowners on the islands will take ad-
vantage of it to rid themselves of the
numerous coons, skuuks, minks and
weasels that destroy such large numbers
of chickens and turkeys for them every
year.
a fine chance is offered to trappers also
to capture much valuable fur and make a
handsome sum by it.

BIG JOCKEY CLUB.

one IhaC VIII be Led by Leading
Turfmen.
There is a movement on foot in San
Francisco to organize first-elass Jockey
club, one that will te a credit to the State.
The gentlemen who are organizing it are
breeders, and it is their intention to ex-
clude from its membership many persons
whose hands never elevated the Blood
Horse Association.
L. q. Shippee, w. OBJ. Macdonough.
E. J. Baldwin, c. w. Ably, Simeon G..
Read, L. J. Rose. Senator Stanford. J. b..
Haggin, Porter Ashe and many other
breeders have decided to organize the
California Jockey Club, and make it as
good as the famous ones of the East They
intend to elevate racing, and make the
meetings among the events of the year.
Already location for a new track is be-
ing sought, and enough money will be
spent on 1t when secured to make il as
grand as the one at Morris Park.
Meetings will be held in the early
spring and in the summer for the benefit
OF owners who do not desire to send their
strings East, while the great meeting will
be held during the mild winter months
The meeting, opening after the close of
the Board of Control tracks, will. it is
thought, cause owners OF importance to
send their horses here.
Cup racing will be made feature, and
stakes will be given that will be sufficient
to draw the best thoroughbreds in the
land to the coast. Such racing will not
be opposed by the Board of Control or
Western Turf Congress, for both organ
izations are aware of the fact that the eli
matte conditions out here for winter
racing are wholly different from those at
Guttenburg, Roby and East St. Louis.
If the jockey club is started this State,
the greatest in the world for breeding
thorough breds, will become famous for
racing throughout the land.

NO POLICE COURT YESTERDAY.
A Collection of Hobos Liberated an
Banished from Town.

A Collection of Hobos Liberated and
Banished from Town.
Yesterday, for the first time in over a
year, there was nothing on the calendar
in the Police Court, hence there was no
session.
At an early hour in the morning the
police raided a number of saloons and
captured eleven 'hobos," or chair-sIeep-
ers, but no specific charges were entered
against them and they were released in
the forenoon and given directions to leave
town.
The collection embraced some extraor-
dinary specimens of humanity, but
nearly all Of them appeared to be more
unfortunate and poverty-stricken than
vicious.
An old German, who seemed to be a
counterpart of Rip Van Winkle, and who
had evidently been asleep for an un-
known period, in a saloon, was last to get
his bearings and make his exit from the
city Jail. He was armed with an old
1ashloned blunderbuss, which was full of
sand instead of powder, and his carpet
sack contained a collection of Junk that
was wonderful to behold.
He explained that he was from Los
Angeles, but couldn't say how or when
he arrived in Sacramento. All he re-
membered was that he went into saloon
and only took one glass of beer, but when
he started out his legs wouldn't work.
and he could give no further explana-
ton.
His musket was labeled, Captured
from Evans and Sontag by the invfncible
detectives, Gibson and Greer, after des-
perate struggle" and his satchel was in
scribed, Property of the crazy Dutch
man."
Mr.. Van Wrinkle left the jail rejoicing.
however, seemingly elated over being
resurrected, as it were, from the dead.

THEY ARE THICK.
According to the Records This County
is Overrun by Coyotes,

- ONSlA III OS Wy OLSSs
The coyote-breeders of Sacramento
County will make quite hole in the coin
at the State Treasury. The affidavits on
file with County Clerk Hamilton show
that during the past year I76 coyotes were
killed, and the claims for bounties
amount to $3.50.
The Clerks records should prove quite
valuable to the compilers of natural his
tory in the years to como. Sacramento
has not been regarded as much of a
coyote county, and it will be surprise to
many to know that in the year 1892 nc
less than 176 of these beasts were killed
here.
There is little doubt that if the Legis-
lature should offer a bounty of $40 each
for grizzly scalps, it would soon be devel-
oped that Sacramento is overrun with
bears.
Notwithstanding the supposed thin
ning-out of the coyote supply, there will
be fully as many claims put in the pres
ent year-if the bounty law be not re-
pealed-as the coyote-dog industry is said
to be ilourishing in certain out-of- the-way
localities.

OAK PARK ROAD.
The Petitioners Therefor Failed to be
On Hand,
But the Opponents Were. and the
Supervisors Decided to Deny
the Petition.

Matters are moving along quite smooth
" in the Board of Supervisors, the new
members having buckled down to their
work like old hands at the business.
At yesterday mornings session the Ju-
dietary Committee was granted further
time in which to prepare rules.
The matter of the petition of B. U.
Steinman and others for a road from Oak
Park to the Upper Stockton road was
taken up.
A. E. Hornlein appeared as an objector.
He claimed that the road was only
wanted in order to enable petitioners to
sell their property, and would ruin his
place by cutting it in two in very bad
shape.
Mr.. Jenkins asked for the reading of
the viewers report for the information of
the new members, which was done.
The report stated that NJ. J. Dillman
wanted damages, but did not object, but
that Mr. Hornlein would object, as it cut
his place in two.
Mr.. Hornlein stated that if the road had
been along his south line he would only
have asked damages for the land and
moving his windmills.
Supervisor Curtis believed that roads
benefited property-owners, and they
should rather expect to pay for them
than to ask damages.
Joseph Gosling addressed the board
with regard to a short piece of road on
the riverside road between Swinder-
mans corner and Terrio's place, where
they had for many years had no outlet
except by boat. He thought if some
adobe was dumped into the ditch on the
side of the road it would prevent the
spreading and tiattening out of the grade.
Supervisor Curtis knew the road well
and knew it needed repairs. 1t would be
big job and could hardly be done before
spring.
ON motion of Supervisor Jenkins the
matter was referrrd 10 the Road Commit
tee.
The board passed the remainder of the
morning in examining bills.
At the afternoon session the board
again took up the matter of the Oak Park
petition.
Mr.. Jenkins said he had some doubt as
TO whether it was necessary to notify
the petitioning parties, it having been
rejected once and being set for reconsid-
Grafton on yesterday.
District Attorney Ryan, being called on
for his opinion, decided it was not neces-
sary to notify them again, they knowing
the case was set for that time.
On motion of Supervisor Jenkins, the
petition was denied, Supervisor Curtis
voting no.
Supervisor Miller moved that the
Sheriff be allowed the same amount as
the former Sheriff, twenty-five cents per
day for feeding prisoners, and twelve
and one-half cents extra for food fur
nished the chain-gaug and foremen.
MIR. Jenkins wished to hear from the
Chairman of the committee before whom
that matter would properly come.
Supervisor Todd thOuUbt parbaDS tba
motion was little premature, but had no
objection.
The motion was finally carried.
The remainder of the afternoon was
spent i'll examining bills, and the board
took recess until 10 o'clock to-day.

A DEAD LETTER.
No Respect Paid to the Law Against
Reckless Driving.

No Respect Paid to the Law Against
Reckless Driving.
If a Sacramento policeman was ever
known to arrest any person for reckless
riding or driving through the streets, it
must have been prior to the days Of '49,
for there is no record of a scoop" of this
character. Yet hardly a day passes that
the law prohibiting rapid driving is not
violated and the lives or limbs of pedes-
trians and others endangered.
Yesterday morning a lady named Mrs.
Lane was knocked down at Ninth and L
streets by the wagon of a vegetable
grower, who was getting toward the su-
burbs as fast as his horses could go. For
tunately she escaped serious injury.
The ordinance prohibiting fast driving
through the streets appears to be a dead
letter, but if a few of its violators were
arrested and punished, some respect
might be manifested for it.

share of the estate of deceased. He there
fore sued to recover the sum Of S30,l30 39s
