The Country Candidate for the Office
of County Assessor.
The Office of Assessor is one of the most
important to be filed at the election on
Tuesday next, and voters should discrim-
mate wisely between the five candidates
in the field. Four of these are from the
city and one from the country.
For number of years delegates from
the country precincts in all party conven-
tions have urged the selection for this
office of someone outside of the city.
This year they have a candidate in the
person oil Erskin Greer, gentleman as
widely and as favorably known as any
man in the county. He is an old line
Douglas Democrat.
Mr.. Greer came to California in 1850 and
has been resident ever since, and a tax
payer since 1851, in which year be engaged
In stock-ralsiDg and farming. For a
number OF years he conducted whole
sale and retail grocery in this city. He
has served one term on the City Board of
Education, and in 1888 was elected from
the Fourth District as Supervisor, serv-
ing four years, two as Chairman, AS q
member of the board Mr.. Greer made a
record OF which he claims to be exceed
Ingly proud. In every position he has
held his champions assert that he has dis
played good, sound and economical busi-
ness qualifications. He is progressive
and has been leader in the advancement
OF the county's interests in agriculture
and horticulture. For years he has been
connected with the preparation of the
county's exhibits at the fairs at home and
abroad. Mr.. Greer has reared family
in this county and educated them in the
public schools.
With his varied business experience
MIR. Greer considers himself well fitted
- to inh D.,
County Assessor-and, believing that the
country should be this time hOnored with
the office, he is making a strong canvass.
lie has many stanch friends OF all DO
litical faiths, who assert that if Erskin
Greer is elected the value of property
throughout the city and the county will
be honestly and fairly equalized: that
each and every property-owner shall ray
his just share OF taxation-no more and
no less.

Friend Hennessey Battered Her.
Harry Hennessey was in the Police
Court yesterday on charge of battery

as Countess" Laura Steinmiller.

struck her number of times in the Glee-
man House, and although he maltreated
her she did not want to prosecute him.
Hennessey testified that he had pro-
vided the Countess with varied assort-
ment of liquid refreshments. She in
dulged too freely, and, according to his
story, in roaming about the house she fell
over some oostructions and received her
injuries in that manner.

WOODLAND, Nov. 2.-The Worden case
is rapidly drawing to close, and will be
submitted to the jury tor decision in a
few days. The defense is very brief. A
large number of witnesses were SUBJ
penaed, but when they arrived here it
was learned that they knew of no facts
bearing on the case.
Attorney Strong has struggled hard
against the disadvantages which he has
encountered. He claims that he has been
unable to secure the attendance of his w.t.
nesses. and that he is hampered in many
other ways.
At the opening of court this morning
Albert Conrad was called to the stand.
He had seen the defendant, Worden. in
Sacramento on the I1th of July, and also
saw him at ll:45 near the Yolo bridge,
On cross-examination he said he saw
him IN crowd between 1l:3O and y
O'Clock. He did not see him in anv
carriage on the day of the wreck. He
met him on the road walking toward Sac
mento after II O'Clock.
Conrad was excused, and John Hafner
was called. Hafner testified that ne was
in Sacramento on the 1Ith day of july.
de had been acquainted with Worden
since 1877. Witness met him on the COR
ner of Second and j streets, in Sacra-
mento, on the day of the wreck, at about
l O'Clock. Worden asked the witness if
be had heard of the wreck. He came
from the direction of the American Rail-
way Union headquarters. Witness did
not see Worden take drink.
Conrad was recalled by the prosecu-
ton, and said he did not think he saw a
three-seated rig drive into Washington.
Ii it had passed him he would have been
sure to have seen it.
Attorney Strong then addressed the
court, saying his witnesses were absent,
A recess was then taken until this
afternoon.
At o'clock, when court convened. the
witnesses were still absent. Judge Grant
said he would adjourn court until next
Wednesday at 10 o'clock. The case will
be concluded by next Thursday evening.

Miss Virginia was born and where she

twelve or fifteen years ago the Bonynges
moved to London, about the same time
that Mrs. Mackey took up her residence in
the metropolis, and then followed the
celebrated rivalry between the two families
for social recognition in the English CAPT.
tai. The Bonynges had not gone into
society extensively here. but when they
arrived in London their immense wealth
at once gave them an entrance into circles
OF the nobility, and Notwithstanding the
efforts made to displace them they have
held their position unQuestioned and have
for years been on intimate terms with
the members of the royal family.

of this city, who knew of the position
which the Bonynges held in English So
