THAT TRANSACTION IN HOPS.
Joseph Gray's Charge of Fraud Against
Chris. Wagner.
He Alleges the Latter Took Advantage
of His Inability to Read to
Defraud Him.

Chris, Wagner, the well-known hop
dealer, was partially examined IN Justice
Henry's Court on Saturday on charge
of grand larceny, growing out of a trans
action in hops.
Wagner is charged by Joseph Gray,
capitalist, with having defrauded him.
He testified that in November last he
purchased from J. j. Glacken, near
Brighton, 146 bales of hops. Before the
purchase he sent Wagner as an expert to
examine them, and Wagner reported
them of satisfactory quality. Gray paid
So, 800 to Glacken for the hops. aud they
were shipped to this city. Acting on the
advice of Wagner, Gray decided to ship
the hops to w. II. & Ii. Lemay in Eng
land, and requested Wagner to attend to
the matter for him.
Gray said that Wagner handed him
what purported to be a railroad bill Of
lading, but being unable to read he
showed it 10 Glacken, who informed him
that it was made out in Wagner's name.
Wagner went with Gray to w. E. Ger
ber, then Assistant Cashier OF the Cali
fornia State Bank, and the latter was in
structed to write to the Lemays and re-
Wagner's and to notify Gray Of the
change.
subsequently = according to Gray's
statement-Wagner told him the hops
were still in Liverpool and unsold. but
Gray learned that Wagner had sold the
hops and received the money from Eng
land through the Anglo California Bank
of San Francisco and the California State
Bank.
j. j. Glacken corroborated Gray's state
ment as to the sale of the hops, and Ger
Der to the writing OF the letter referred TO.
E. Durbrow, an attache OF the San
francisco bank, testified to receiving a
cablegram from London to pay Wagner
for l46 bales of hops. The payment was
made by the California State Bank on the
San Francisco order.
w. Il. Gerber did not know whether it
was Wagner who secured the money at
the bank, but he did recollect that the
money was paid.
A continuance was granted until Tues
day, at l P. NJ. to secure the attendance OF
a. Abbott, residing in San Francisco and
formerly Cashier OF the California State
Bank, by whom the prosecution expects
to prove that the money was paid to
Wagner.

Several Cases.
Governor Markham has commuted the
life sentence of Wong All Foo. convicted

the cOmmutatlon recommended by the
Prison Directors.
The five-year sentence of r. G. Beggs,

ment in Oakland, has been commuted to
three years. He had always borne good

trust; had made all the restitution possi-
BILE. The District Attorney, all the county
officials and many prominent citizens

rectors recommended the commutation.
He has par6oned Andrew Mcnamara

Pennie.

The Great Dog Wildwood, Defeated by
Pennie.
The match race between John McMa-
hons greyhound Wildwood and Henry
Rumble's Pennie was luu off near Florin
yesterday. Great sport was witnessed.
Although Pennie is but young dog, she
showed herself TO be one of the greatest
that Sacramento has yet produced, by her
victory over such a dog as Wildwood,
who was never before beaten in cours-
ing match.
In the first heat both dogs showed great
speed, but Pennie displayed more bottom
and won the course handily, and in the
second the same result followed.
The third was very exciting, and very
close, but Wildwood was declared the
winner, and in the fourth Wildwood was
also victorious.
The fifth and last heat was the most
exciting. each dog having two heats. In
leaving the slips Wildwood was leading,
and ii looked as if he were winner, but
Pennie gradually gained ground. gave
him go-by, and won very handily.
From three to four hundred people
were present to witness the great sport.
Mr.. Rumble, although a new man in
greyhound racing, has proven himself to
be quite sport. He handled his own
dog, and trained her after his own
method. She showed that she had been
properly handled.
Thomas Davis of Florin acted as Judge.
and gave general satisfaction. Charles
Gallagher acted as Slipper, and all dog
men present declared that they never
witnessed such work with the ribbons.
John Buckley was Field Steward, and
he also performed his office in fine style.

THE "SCORCHERS"
A Quartet of Men Enjoy a Days
Wheeling Yesterday.

wheeling eSterday.
The Capital City Scorchers had very
pleasant and speedy run yesterday to the
Slough House and Elk Grove, distance
of forty-seven miles, which they covered
in four hours and thirty minutes. Those
who attended the run were: w. Hill (who
acted as captain), w. g. Elliott, w. A.
Hubert and c. II. Wood.
This being Woods first run this season,
he was somewhat soft, and was pretty
tired before he reached home. w. A.
Hubert was anxious for the captain to
make the pace little slower. but falling
to accomplish his wishes he stopped
about three miles this side of Elk Grove,
where, it is said. he owns an interest in a
farm Tor claims one of the family.
Hill and Elliott were feeling some
what fresh when Elk Grove was reached,
and decided to 'scorch' home, which
they did in wonderfully good time,
covering the distance in just one hour.
They are both in training for their one
hour record, for which they will ride
next Sunday at the race track.
