FRESNO ASSAULT CASE.
Contractor Fries Resisted Whe1s His Men
Demanded Their Par.

Demanded Their Pay.
FRESNO, CAL, Aug. ga warrant was
sworn out to-day for the arrest of Jacob
Fries, grape-picking contractor, for as
sault with deadly weapon upon one of
his employees.
Through S. I. Langley. local employ
ment agent. in conjunction with j. +.
Crosett & Co. of San Francisco, Fries
brought twenty-five men here from San
Francisco to pick grapes at 81 day and
board. The men had to pay the employ
ment agency at San Francisco fee of
81 90 and pay their fare TO this city.
They worked for a week, and on Saturday
night demanded their pay for the week.
Fries had $40 with him, and after consider
able wrangling divided this up between
the men. A number of them insisted on
full pay and received orders on merchants
in this city with whom, it afterward
proved, Fries had no account.
This morning the men went TO Fries and
again demanded their money. They had
learned that Fries had collected a consid-
cradle amount of money from vineyardist,
whose grapes the men had picked, and
that Fries had been having "high time"
in this city on Sunday night with the
money. The laborers were much incensed
and told Fries he was not too good for
hanging. Fries pulled a pistol from his
pocket and drove the men away. He then
made his escape and cannot be found, al
though the officers are searching diligently
for him.
Fries bears an unenviable reputation.
Last year he tried to beat men out of their
wages in similar manner.

HAMMOND AN EMBEZZLER.
Probable Cause ofthe Suicide of Himself
and W3fe.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Aug. 26.-The
strange and sensational suicide of Louis
Hammond and his wife, Kathryn, of this
city at the American House in Boston on
Thursday and Friday last, was read with
much interest yesterday. There is no
doubt that the act was premeditated.
From what could be learned yesterday
it is likely that Hammond's death was
partly due to the fact that he had mbez-
zled funds on July 20 from the firm of
Hammond & Bittner, of which he was
member until July q, when be withdrew.
The statement that he had wrongfully
taken this money was made Yesterday
afternoon by Irving Bittner, his former
partner. He persistently refused to give
the amount which he charged Hammond
with having taken.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Aug. 26.-Distr;ct
Attorney Lindsay made motion to-day
in the Superior Court to Immediately call
the Grand Jury. The motion was denied
for the present on account of the Stewart
case, which is occupying the attention of
the court. 1t is probable that Judge
Logan will call the Grand Jury next Mon
day. The special work which will come
before it will be the investigation of the
courthouse matter, which is the subject
uppermost in the minds of the citizens of
this county.
L. E. Brano and R.. Olive, representing
Thomas Beck OF Watsonyille, this after
noon, in the interests of the county,
stopped work on the laying of the founda-
ton of the courthouse. IT is alleged that
the rock used in the concrete was not
crushed as fine as was provided for in the
specifications, and that this would materi-
ally weaken the foundation.
