KIDDER'S KICK
He Claims He is Illegally Held In
Jail.

He Claims He is Illegally Held In
Jail.
G. NJ. Beckwith, on behalf of "Billy"
Kidder, now confined in the County Jail
for battery, has applied to the Superior
Court for writ Of habeas corpus asking
for Kidder's release on the ground that
the judgment pronounced against him is
invalid.
Some time ago Kidder was found guilty
of battery by Justice Steele of Folsom
and sentenced to pay fine of $3.50 or
serve that number OF days in jail. Kid
der could not pay the fine, and was taken
TO Jail 10 serve out his sentence.
His counsel claims that Justice Steele
exceeded his jurisdiction in imposing
such sentence, and says it is invalid be-
cause the statute provides that in default
Of tine the prisoner is required to serve
sentence at the rate of S2 day for each
days imprisonment.
AS the result Of Justice Steeles ludg-
ment Kidder would have to serve one
hundred and eighty days instead Of
ninety.
The matter will be heard by Judge
johnson this morning.

Yesterday Brandrs attorney, C. NJ.

release him on habeas corpus, on the
ground that the evidence against him
was insufficient, and did not warrant
Justice Henry in holding him to answer
for perjury.

vULNRRARY CLOVER.
It's Resistsns Properties In Times c
Drought.


w. A. Sanders of Reedley, Cal, writes
TO the RECoRD-UNIoN concerning what
IL known as 'vulnerary clover" pre-
faced by the following paragraph from
The Practical Farmers Paris oorrs-
spondence:
''What is known as ''vulnerary clover''
(ApthytIiS VuL9ler0TdS) has won golden
opinions for the manner in which il came
triumphantly through the drought of
1888. Is had always a reputation for re-
sisting dry seasons. The clover remained
close and uniform and maintained thick
bottom. After affording excellent cut
tlngs during two years in succession, the
field can still be fed down; the clover can
be usefully grown for three or four years.
However, an annual clover is more and
more being preferred by advanced farm
ers, but OF course that will depend on
local conditions. The yulnerary ought to
be cut only when IN full flower; the
aftermath constitutes good pasturage for
sheep-but must not be too closely fed
down, If good crop be required for the
following season. 1t succeeds well after
a root crop and can itself be proftably
followed by a cereal. 1t may be sown
with autumn rye or spring oats and at
the rate of ten TO thirteen pounds per
acre. The vulnerary has the advantage
to succeed where the other clovers and
lucerne fail. If seed be intended TO be
grown. that from the first years crop
will prove the best; the seed should be
gathered when the pods display deep or
a black-green color.n
The plant referred to in the above is q
native of England. and is commonly
known as kidney vetch." The leaves
are large. of blush tinge, hairy, with
terminal leaaet largest. The flowers are
commonly yellow, and are crowded In
heads, usually disposed in pairs. I have
often thought that, from its habit of grow
ing only on the highest and dryest ridges
in its native Britain, that it might be a
valuable addition to our California forage
plants. The facts of the above CORE
spondsnt would lead to the same con-
clusion.
Another species of the same (AnthyllSs
Borbd ,JoUiS), native of Spain and OF
shrub-like growth, might be of value
