A Charge of False Imprisonment That
DIda't Secure Verdict.

Charge of False Imprisonment That
Dida't Secure Verdict.
Judge Shaw and jury yesterday
looked into the merits of the damage
suit for $4,000 brought by Lee Sesbright
against Robert McAdam upon charge
OF false imprisonment. The plaintiff
charged that in August of last year the
defendant had him arrested ON ground
less charge of malicious mischief, con-
sisting OF tearing down fence to make
passage through an enclosure belong
ing to McAdams. He claimed that when
the charge was Investigated he had the
pleasure of being speedily acquitted.
The damage to his feelings and reputa-
ton he put at $4,000.
The testimony was all in by an early
hour yesterday afternoon, and Judge
Shsw's instructions were very direct
and clear. Under them the jury re-
turned a verdict in favor of the defend
ant.

Everybody in the audience got up in
silence to shake hands with the prison.
ers and there was no other manifesto
ton of sRy kind. The expressions of
sympathy were cut short, however, by a
man who before the judge was fairly in
his chambers, rushed within the rail and
dramatically pulled out paper which
he proceeded to read to the men just
released. He was so excited that the
document trembled in his hands and his
voice ouaked dismslly as he read.
This was Constable ]. H. Morgan of
Cotton, who, disdaining the services Of
local officer, had taken it into his
head that he could singlehsn ded throw
CONSERVATION into the Coxeyitos' camp.
His pc per was another warrant OF arrest
charging Vinette and seven others with
riot on the 18th OF April st Cotton. f.
r. Bright, station agent at Cotton, was
the complaining witness.
There was some excited running
around by the attorneys for the men.
While Mr.. Lucke proceeded post haste
to fill up some more forms for another
writ of habeas corpus, Mr.. Stephens
took the crestfallen martyrs whom the
villain still pursued up to Justice Bar
tholomew's court room to make an APP
plcation for bail.
1t was then that signs of weakening
were observed in the San Bernsrdino
officers, and finally none could be found
but the Cotton constable, who had not
thrown up the sponge. The others,
Sheriff Booth, Jsiler Brown and District
Attorney Dillon, had vanished into thin
air and we're non est.

charge OF riot, which none of them had
committed, and that the Cotton consta.

! Upstairs in Bartholomew court,
where the audience had transferred
itself. Commander Vinette was telling
the justice what the Industrial army
had done in Cotton, and the tale sc
moved his honor that he promptly sci
the bail of each pilgrim who had been
unable to reach any nearer to Washing
ton than Cotton, and probably cut oil
sympathy because they had had more
Cotton in their'n than they had bar
gained for, at 81, lawful money OF the
United States, to be provided by two
good and true real Iestate holders who
could qualify in that exorbitant sum
over and above their lawful debts.
This 80 tickled the Vinette syrlpa
thizers that any further proceedings did
not interest them more. and thus they
lost the banquet which happened wher
Judge Van Dyke again turned the eighi
men loose because Constable Morgan
had no right to execute process OF law
here. Tho court took OCCASION to state
that the San Bernardino officers were

Ion had previously agreed with the petit

be discharged. AS District Attorney
Oster WAS not present his opinion did

They AK the Navy Department For the
Freda.
The Naval reserve will probably soon
have boat of their own on which they
can embark and, after securing the
coast for imaginary foes, disembark
and take possession of all the coast from
Santa Barbara to San Diego.
Recently Mr.. J. Scott Oliver, the
junior lieutenant, returned from a visit
to San Francisco and Mare island
in the interests OF the reserve. At the
naval yards on this island is the 80 ton
schooner Frsda. The boat was built
about 10 years ago and has done various
service about the coast for the govern
ment. Mr.. Oliver consulted with Cap
tain Howisor, the commander of the
yards, about getting the Frsda for the
local reserve. Captain Howisor thought
favolably of the plan and gave it his
written endorsement. The reserve have
sent this endorsement. together with
their application, to the navy depart
ment at Washington, asking that the
boat be turned over to them. AS the
government has no particular use for
the boat Freds, the report of the reserve
will probably be granted. One hundred
cuTlasses were also given to MIR. Oliver
for his organization.

CITY TAX EXTENSIONS.
A GOOD CHANCE TO MAKE A
SAVING.
Comparison OF tho Work Done by the
City and County on the Assess
ment ROlls-Inorsase of
Salary Noted.

The time for footing and extending
the taxes on the city assessment rolls is
approaching, and there is an opportuni-
ty to save the city some money in doiag
this work by putting it in the hands OF
two or three frst-class men at figures.
The work last year cost about 1925,
and it is the general opinion that it
could be done at least $500 cheaper,
when compared with the work on the
county assessment books. There are ii
city assessment books, with 1850 pages.
On these books the men employed by
the city clerk merely footed the ASSESS
ment column and put in the total tax,
which would be child's play for two or
three good men. Now the work on the
county books cost less than $4,000, and
there are 5000 pages, and in addition
five times az much work to each page as
on the city books, for the county en-
ployees put in the total tax, the school
tax, the road tax, and then divide the
payments Con the city books the pay
ments are divided by the tax collector)
and the school, road and county taxes
require separate computation, as the
rates are different in the $50 school and
road districts.
There is no doubt that saving could
be made in the computation OF these
taxes if the work were given into the
hands of thoroughly capable men, in
stead of ward workers. Properly the
work belongs in the city auditors Office,
as is the case all over the state.
If the city clerk is DESTROYS of doing
this work his deputies might be EN-.
ployed ON it in part in view of the fact
that there has been an increase OF cost
in his Office force of $1,000 per annum, az
contrssted with the last year of Mr..
Teed's administration as city clerk,
without any apparent reason for the
increase that would be satisfactory tc

PEANUTS FOR HOGS.

Cheap and Fattsning Food for
POrclnes.
Whether farmers shall continue to
grow peanuts for market will depend
upon the future prices OF the nuts in the
great centers Of trade. They cannot be
grown, with any profit to the farmer, at
any price below three csnts a pound,
and will eventually cease to be an article
OF trade unless prices advance consider
ably above present figures.
But there is one way in VIII ich farm
ers can always make psanu ts profitable
crop to grow. In any section of the
United States that is free from frost from
June lst till October 1st the peanut can
be grown, though q summer range of
five months is better. There is no pro.
duct of the soil in any climate that will
round out and fstten q pig sooner than
the peanut. 1t is for this purpose that
farmers everywhere, wherever the pea
nut will mature seed, may make this
product immensely profitable. As q
fattener of pork there is nothing better
and nothing cheaper. 1t 10 as easily
grown as beans or field peas, and the
hogs will do the harvesting and pay you
for it.
Plow and harrow the ground, making
a smooth, level surface. Set up your
stakes as for making corn rows, and with
the peanut planter in common use in
Virginia, run to the stake, making the
rows 80 inches apart. Set the planter to
drop the seed any distance apart you
want, from to 16 inches, and plant the
seed upon the level field. From the
time the young plants are we'll up till
half grown, give them two or three plow-
ings with the cultivator. This keeps the
weeds down till the plants begin to form
pods, after which you may quit cultiva-
ton. The subsequent grass will not
prevent the growth OF the nuts. No
hand-weeding or other cultivation is
necessary.
About October 1st turn the hogs into
the lot and leave them. You will not
wait long until they find out the pea
nuts, and then they will root, eat and
grow fat with astonishing rapidity.
Nothing fattens hog faster than pea
nuts, and grown in the way here de-
scribed, nothing makes cheaper food for

ARIZONA'S FUTURE.
THE OPINION OF CHIEF JUS
TICE BAKER.
Confident That tho Territory VIM
be Admitted Into the Union rs
State by the Present
Congress.

Arizona will be admitted to statehood
before the present session of congress
adiourns," said H. @. Baker, chiel
justice OF the supreme court of Arizona,
last evening, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. "Ths published statement
that the people of Arizona are not in
favor of being admitted to the union is
totally without foundation. 1t is a rave
exception whore a resident of the terri
tory is not heartily anxious for tn 9
senate to pass the bill, and we are all
confident that as soon as the tariff bill
and few other measures that at pres
ent seem to have the righi of way can
be laid aside for a day the bill will pass
the senate by as popular vote as eaw
it's passage in the house. Then Arizona
will see an era of prosperity such as it
has never experienced before"
Judge Baker is very enthusiastic on
the question of the territory's welfare
and Is exerting every effort, in company
with the other prominent men OF the
territory, to secure the territory's ad-
mission to the union.
Very few people outside of the terri
tory understand how we are hampered
by the Harrison act," he said. "We
are not permitted to incur an indebted
nese beyond per cent of the assessed
valuation OF our property, and as a re-.
suit we cannot build bridges or court
houses or expend any money for i'm
provements. However, q wonderful
progress has been made in the develop
meDt of the district about Tucson re-
Gently. The North and South RAILROAD.
as we call it, has but 80 more miles to
cover to reach Tucson, and we expect to
see the road completed this fall. Tue
son has already commenced to feel the
effects of the railroad's approach. There
has been an active stir in real estate in
the past six weeks and a number of
mining sales in the district about Pres
colt have been recorded lately, l be-
lleve there is more prospecting being
done Ia Arizona at the present time than
at any previous time in the history of
the territory, and many email ledges
that have heretofore bsen ignored are
being grabbed up rapidly"
Judge Baker says he is intensely sorry
that Arizona made go feeble an effort to
exhibit it's resources at the midwinter
fair and is confident that th Q territory is
losing the greatest opportunity in it's
history OF advertising itself. "You see,
we were taken in on the worlds fair.
Some $50, 900 was subscribed, and it was
squandered on an EXHIBIT that is not to
be compared with the one we have at
the midwinter fair. And that only cost
$1,000. But don't think it is too late
to improve our exhibit here. intend
returning to Arizona next week, and If l
don't succeed in alarming the people
into state OF activity, l will be sur
prised at myaelf. think we can get up
a good exhibit of raisins, grapes and
oranges by the expenditure OF $4,000, and
l propose to try it,"

put an oar for those said counties south
of Bakersfield, and think no better
way could be taken to advertise our de-
velopments in the way of water than to
publish list of irrigation and land com.
panies, their water supply aud acreage
of unimproved land. A list that, OF
course, would be available this year.
Our stockmen could in this way be
brought in touch with the
land owners who could avail
themselves of an opportunity OF adver-
tising their properties on a magnificent
scale and at profit to themselves
which does not occur once in q dozen
years. At the same time they would be
public benefactors by keeping an i'm
mense amount of money at home. Let
all the irrigation schemes rent all
their unsold, uncultivsted lands ct So or
$3.50 per acre with water. The stock
men will take it all at that price and
our country will be richer instead Of
poorer, and the dry season turned into q
blessing. l have in my mind the Bear
valley company, the Lake Hemet Water
company, the Winchester district,
Sweetwater and others, aggregsting
probably, 100000 acres of irrigable un-
productive land. Why should our peo-
pie go to Tulare county for irrigable
lands on account of dry season. All
stock men should interview our home
companies before going else where. j.

DIVORCE ON THE QUIET
MRS CHARLOTTE PERKINS STET-
SON TO GET A DECREE.
Her Husband Worry WIlIing-He Pre-.
ferred to Make M Response, but
Judge Ogden Insists Upon
Some Appearance.

The Oakland correspondent OF the San
Francisco Examiner. under date oi
April 18th, says: There will be no con-
test to the suit that Charlotts Perkins
S:etson, the writer and worker in the
field of general reform, brought against
her husband, Charles w. Stetson, the
| Rhode Island artist. That was deter
mined today in a recess In Judge Og-
den's court, and the little romance that
worked its way out between Pasadena,
Oakland and Providence, r. l., will now
require but one act for its climax. With
this determination today Mrs. Stetson
drops out of the romance, for she has
played her part on the little stage, and
there remains but her husband, Charles
w. Stetson, on the boards.
1t was at first thought there would be
a contest in the suit from the side OF
Mr.. StetBon. Mrs. Stetson alleged there
was no property to divide, and the cause
for Mr.. Stetson's contest was not ap-
parent.
Then came the first move in the case.
made by Mrs. Stetson when she asked
the court that it appoint a commission
to take testimony for her in Providence,
r. l., her former homo and the home OF
her husband. 1t looked from this, for
the parties in the case would say moth.
ing, as il there would be a contest and
Mrs. Stetson were trying to secure evil
dence to win her case. This theory was
proven erroneous today, when the attor-
ney for Mr.. Stetson called upon Judge
Ogden. and after short consulta tion in
the judges chambers the case was prac-
tically settled.
1t was explained that Mr.. Stetson had
been served with the sum mons, and ttat
not only did he want TO refuse to answer
his wife's complaint, even to make the
most general dsnials, but he wanted to
have his default entered.
Judge Ogden said that some kind of
an appearance must be made in the
case, and that it could be referred to a
court commissioner to take testimony,
and it could be decided without public.
ity.
So the summons and its acknowledge
ment by service will be placed on file
tomorrow by Mr.. Stetson's attorney,
the case will go to court commissioner,
there will be NO answer filed, and the
order of divorce will be made on the
most formal showings.
