How a Local HoteI-Keeper Tries to
Keep Away Visitors.
II must be astonishing to the residents
Of other cities to witness the devotion to
home interests displayed by some Of our
Citizens, and their endeavors to boom the
city on the down-hill grade.
Deputy Sheriff Fay, while in San Jose
a couple Of days ago, was met by an ac-
quaintance with the remark:
"Well, you folks are having an epi-
demic of smallpox in Sacramento, are
you?"
Naturally astonished, the Deputy Sher-
itf denied that such was the case, but was
informed that it was actually so. for
his friend had received a letter that
morning stating that there We're fifteen
cases here, besides four new ones reported
on the date of the letter, the 9th inst.
"Well," said Fay, "You must be
mistaken, and have read fifteen for five.
as there are five cases in one family; but
they are some distance outside the city
limits, and are quarantined and doing
we'll"
His informant then showed him the
letter, in which it was distinctly written
"ftteen," and the name signed to it was
said to be that of a man keeping a hotel
here. 1t is queer way to increase one's
chances to make living by giving the
city in which he lives back-hander in
such fashion

HUNTED A FIGHT.
He Got 1t, and a Jury Promptly Con-
victed Him.


Victed Him.
The storm yesterday had a depressing
effect on the members Of Judge Buckley's
morning class in the Police Court, as all
but one stayed away. 1t is supposed that
the nightly crop Of drunks were warned
by a subtle instinct that unless they kept
indoors they were liable to get water
soaked, which, although old soakers,
would be dire calamity to them.
Charles Il. Harvey, who was charged
with being a vagrant, had his case con-
tinued till tomorrow.
The case Of Joseph Altman, charged
with battery on Daniel Holmes, and who
had demanded jury trial, came up.
The jury being impaneled. Holmes tes-
titled that he was a street-paver; he was
working on Tenth street, between * and
l., one day last week, when the defendant
came along and asked witness il he (the
defendant) owed him anything. Witness
answered no, and stopped down 10 work
again when defendant struck him and
knocked him down and beat him, bruis-
ing and soaring his face. He denied
having said anything to justify the as
sault. He had never at any time made
any threats against defendant.
W. NJ. Miller testified that he saw the
fight. He was in his yard and saw the
beating him, and some men pulled him
of.
c. F. Lewis saw the latter part Of the
trouble. Altman had Holmes down in
the gutter pounding him.
r. ID. Mccoy was present, and stated
that he and Holmes We're working on the
gutter; Altman came along and asked
Holmes if he (Allman) owed him any
thing Being answered in the negative,
Altman struck Holmes and knocked him
down on a pile OF Stag; Holmes made no
motion to strike first, and used no lam
guage to Justify the assault. Witness
caught Altman and pulled him oil and
separated them.
j. Z. Bishop was with Altman. The
latter asked Holmes if he owed him any
thing Some rough language was used
by one or the other, and Altman knocked
Holmes down. Altman had told wit
ness that he wanted him as a witness to
what might pass between him and
Holmes. but he did not anticipate fight.
w. A. Caswell testified that Holmes,
about year ago, called the defendant
vile name, and threatened him.
The defendant swOre That Caswen told
him some moths ago that Holmes had
made threats against him, and that others
told him TO the same effect. He saw
Holmes working on Tenth street, and
asked him if he owed him anything.
Holmes stood up with his hammer in his
hand, and said, go on, you - ,
you're no good - Witness then struck
him.
Tie jury were out seven minutes and
returned a verdict Of guilty, with a
recommendation of mercy.
The Judge ordered the defendant to
appear for sentence February 9th.

General Hart Makes the Opening State
ment for the Defense.
At the Palmer trial yesterday the
morning was consumed in the examina-
ton of J. L. Buck, Mrs. Phleger and C.
1. Jones, witnesses for the prosecution.
In the afternoon General Hart made an
eloquent and torcible opening statement
for the defense. He spoke for an hour
and quarter, recapitulating the events
preceding the tragedy, the facts that the
suits OF Senator Fair had stripped the
defendant OF his property, and that the
defense proposed TO show that the perse-
cutions endured by Palmer and the
threats of Phle2er against his life had
weakened his lnind and induced disease
of the brain amounting to insanity.
which various acquaintance of the de-
fendant had noted and commented upon.
and various specified acts clearly proved
his condition.
The taking Of testimony for the defense
will occupy several days, possibly a
week.

President of the Tariff Reform Club. who
lives In Mount Pleasant avenue. and Is a

TWO days ago it was stated that Mr..

business associates to look after this line
so long as he should be attending to the
duties of postmaster. It is regarded as
improbable that Mr.. Rutan would be

of the Ranger and Mohicau to the relief

the fact that President Cleveland desires
to concentrate all available ships of the

Ranger and Mohican would enable the
landing of Il larger maRine force than
that of the Philadelphia. Naval officers
