Cause of the Downfall and Death of E.
+. Wlnslow.
Referring to the tragic death of E P.
Winslow in this county few days ago,
the Reno Gazette says:
1.-The unfortunate man was L. p.
Winslow, the horsetrainer, who trained
Tam O'Shanter for Nj. Brookins and
Frank NJ. and Sensation for the Lee
brothers. He was well known in Reno,
and in fact all over the coast, and was
considered one of the best trainers i'll the
country. He left here about the lst OF
January, and was in Oregon when last
heard from.
Deceased was a soldier in the War OF
the Rebellion and came to the Pacific
Coast at its close. At one time he was
quite well off. having fine saloon in a
large California town. He left wife in
the East from whom he had not heard for
long time, when he accidentally discov-
cred that she had divorced him, married
again, and was living with her husband
but short distance from where he was
then doing business. This appeared to
break him completely down. He took to
drinding heavily and in a short time was
a financial wreck. His services as trainer
were always in demand, and had he
lived, he would have been engaged in
that capacity here next summer"

SUPREME COURT DECISION
Judgment Affirmed in the Henriet-
Vineyard Company Case.

Judgment Affirmed in the Henrietta
Vineyard Company Case.
The Supreme Court has affirmed the
judgment and order of the Superior
Court OF Fresno County in the case Of 1.
S. Eshleman (appellant) VS.. the Henrietta
Vineyard Company and others.
The action was brought to enforce the
specific performance of contract for the
conveyance of land based upon an agree
ment entered into by the respective par
ties on the Dist day of January, 1856
Eshleman purchased of the Henrietta
Vineyard Company certain lands stu
ated in section IL, township IA south,
range 2l east, amounting to about 100
acres. Part OF said section was i'll dis
pute, the Henrietta Vineyard Company
claiming full possession of the land, but
Eshleman was in doubt as to the real
facts. The parties signed q contract,
whereby Eshleman agreed to purchase
the land if the title was clear at the rate
of 81 668 per acre.
The complaint states that on the 18th
day of October, 1887, the corporation
could have conveyed the land free and
clear of incumbrance, and offered to do
so. That on or about November 5, 1887,
plaintiff accepted the offer of a convey
ance, rendered the price agreed to be paid
and demanded deed. That on the 18th
day of January, JSSS, the corporation de-
fendant refused to convey the land.
The answer negatives many of the al
legations of the complaint, and AYERS in
substance that as early as February, 1856,
it was able and willing to convey the
land by good title, free from incum-
brance, and thenceforth aud up to No
vemher 3, 1887, repeatedly offered to con-
vey, but that the plaintiff refused to ac-
cept conveyance and pay for the land.
The opinion says the rulings of the
court on the admission and rejection of
evidence are not of sufficient importance
to vary the result, and as the judgment
and order must be affirmed, what might
be said as to these rulings is not import
ant. 1t is only where new trial is grant
ed that the views OF this court on ques-
tions of law, of no general interest to the
profession, become important, as serving
to guide the lower court in retrial of the

TROUBLE ON GRAND ISLAND.

Italians Drain Their Sipage Water
Upon Their Neignbors.
There is trouble on Grand Island be-
tween the landowners of the section
above Beaver Slough and those below
This slough runs midway across the
island from Old River to Steamboat
Slough, and has high natural banks,
which prevent the sipage water from
above from running on the lower half OF
the island. The people above cut the
slough bank, it seems, III order to allow
the water to run down to the pump, there
being as yet no drainage canals.
Inc owners on the lower portion OBJ
lected to this proceeding and closed up
the cut, which was again opened by the
upper section people to the number of
seventy or eighty. Several of the con-
tending factions have been arrested and
their trial set tor April 9Th at Isleton.
The land below the cut, hich was all
in grain and belongs 10 Ferris Il Will
iams of San Francisco, was being badly
drowned out by the water let down on it,
and these gentlemen, through their lore
man, got out a writ OF injunction on
saturday to restrain the people above
from injuring their property. Before
another winter the matter will be ad-
justed, as the canals Will be in operation
and new pump placed in the upper dis
trlct which will be able To throw out all
the sipage water that is likely TO come.

The Mokelumne Back Water Makes
Trouble on Ibis side.
The water in the river is rising fast at
Grand Island, owing probably to the
freshet in the Mokelumne not allowing
the water from the upper Sacramento to
come down. The other islands from
Richland down are also endangered.

into the island the tim bers and dirt used
in stopping up cut made in the lower
end OF Merritt Island at the time of the
recent break there ior The purpose Of let
ting out the flood water, and the island is
again flooded, but as soon as the river
subsidies it can easily be repaired.
The back water from the Mok elumne
has invaded the river lands on this side
also and has covered Il number of places
clear up to the levee, among them the

Metropolitan Theater. This engagement
will introduce Miss Edythe Chapman as
leading lady. She is talented young
woman, who has made deep and favora-
BILE impression upon critical audiences
wherever she has appeared as powerful
emotional actress. Her first efforts were
in society plays, and her debut in the

Her success, however. has dispelled all
fears, and she gives promise, say compe-

cisco, of being one OF the best leading
women in the profession.
