"Dear Friend:
"When / left San Antonio, /
thought l was going straight
through to Chicago, but after rid
ing about seventy miles, found /
was nearing the Gulf OF Mexico on
the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
railway, so l had to get off the
train and take the first railroad l
could find running north. Well, l
finally got on the right track at
last, feeling, however, somewhat
worried and nervous at my mis-
take in taking the wrong train.
When 1 had ridden a cou-
pie OF days without seeing
anything except little towns,
like Austin and Dallas, the conduc-
tor or porter-I was so Hurried /
don't remember which-shouted,
"St. Louis ~ Goodness me /! wasn't
it a whopper though! Why! now
honestly, the depot is as big as all
San Antonio put together. got
lost in it, and had to ask a boot
black the way down town. He
showed me the way out Of that
terrible, gloomy building, with
its roaring, Kissing monsters Of en-
gines and the deafening changing
of bells, and pointing street car,
said to me. "Say Gully, next time
you leave home you better hire
you guide. You might fall in the
river and get drowned" l was
afraid to venture any further than
the first restaurant l saw, as 1 had
to get back to take the next train
in couple Of honrs for Chicago. l
went into the restaurant, and feel
ing nervous and absent-minded on
account of the many unusual
Ito me- occurrences--I sank
exhausted into a chair at the near
est table and said to the waiter,
"a dozen temalas, two enchilados
and a plate OF chile, quick, Pm
almost starved"
"Don't be fresh, young man, or
try to guy me because you have
few dollars" said the waiter. 81
won't stand it," and as he said this,
the waiter drew back his fist in
threatening manner. This brought
my mind back to it's usual condi-
ton, and l hastily apologlzed
with the same grace and effect as
when in San Antonio explaining
some personal matter in the paper
to an aggrieved individual who
wanted to see the "fitin' editah."
1 explained to this waiter who was
a good fellow, the troubles | had
undergone, and that / had been
fed for two days on a buffet car on
breakfast food and graham waters
at a cost OF one dollar per
meal and that was dream
ing of sunny old Santone
and her females, enchllados, etc.
when 1 spoke. He Immediately
became very sympathetic, brought
me q first class dinner, only
charged me fifty cents and put NE

pidn't Mind Stirring the Mess.

A young man, with two ladies,
amused himself on East Nueva
street few nights ago, with kick
ing over the trash boxes and bar
rels off the curbstone on this street,
while walking arm in arm with
the ladies. He seemed to be getting
lots of fun out OF this conduct, even
while his companions objected.

RECLAMATION DISTRICT TRUSTEES.
Elections Therefor Are Called in Three
Districts.
Progress of Road Repairing in the
Lower End of the County
Courtland Obstruction.

The County Supervisors met in regu-
lar monthly session yesterday, all the
members being present, and Morrison
in the chair.
The first business taken up was a
petition from residents of the new
reclamation district near Freeport for
an election for Trustees.
Supervisor Todd moved that the
prayer of the petitioners be granted,
and that an election be held on the
4th day of January for Trustees to
manage the affairs of the district.
The motion was carried, and j. c.
Baumgartel and James O'Neill were
appointed Judges, and Chris Weisel In
spector. The polls will opened at the
Sacramento Transportation Com
panys brickyard
w. a. Gett, attorney for the landoWn-
ers in Reclamation District No. oof,
presented a petition by II. T. Lufkin
for the election of a Board of Trustees
of the district.
The petition was granted, and an
election called for June 9th, at p. m,
at the store of II. T. Lufkin in Walnut
Grove. Sperry Dye was named as In
spector, and H. 7. Lufkin and Clara
B. Lord as Judges.
A similar order was made for Dis
trict 401, the election to take place at
the Isleton Hotel in Isleton at p. m.
on the 4th day of January. Sanford
Dickey was named as Inspector and II
La Rue and Samuel LaVenson as
Judges.
Major Gett also presented the report
of the Board of Election of Reclama-
ton District 500, of the election held
on Andrus Island on the 10th day Oh
November. The Trustees elected We're
Sol Runyon, p. II. McGrath and George
a. Knott.
Some residents of Folsom complained
of a gate that obstructs an alley in that
town. and Supervisor Curtis was in
structed to inquire into the matter and
see that the obstruction, if it be such,
is removed.
w A Gett addressed the board in
regard to a road on the upper end OF
Tyler Island. i good levee has been
built there. but there are spots there
where the Ievee is constructed over
Quicksand deposits, and in these spots
the embankment sometimes sloughs
off, endangering several districts on
that island.
Before reclamation work was begun
there the island was wholly submerged,
but has been made valuable by recla-
nation. The driving of q few piles at
the De Ball and Clark ranches, at cost
of perhaps 500, would perhaps prevent
a loss of several hundred thousand
dollars later on.
Mr. Gett requested that the county
do this work, for the reason that some
of the land affected is in litigation,
or involved in probate proceedings,
and it would be months before any
thing could be done.
The matter will be further considered
later in the week.
County Surveyor Boyd reported that
he had examined the site Of the bridge
petitioned for at the old mouth of the
American River by L. NJ Billings and
others He did not think the ap-
proaches to such a bridge would stand
the rush of high water until the levee
The record-union., 1895-12-03

in that vicinity is rebuilt He advised
that no action be taken in the matter
until the character of this proposed
work is determined. 1t was SO ordered.
Surveyor Boyd also reported that he
had examined the treStlework recently
constructed by S. Carle on the Lower
Stockton road, near the Mokelumne
River, and found it had been done &C
cording to the plans and specifications.
He further reported that he had
measured the bituminous pavement
laid on the American River bridge and
found that it contained i, o., yards
Supervisor Jenkins reported that he,
County Surveyor Boyd and Supervisors
Todd and Dreman had visited and eX-
amined the work done on the New Hope
road by William Hicks and found it
well done. They found that it was
necessary, however, to extend the work
over about a thousand feet more of the
road, and had directed Mr.. Hicks to
complete it.
Mr.. jenkins said the work was being
done at a very low price, and by hav-
ing the additional grading done the
people there would be able to travel
the road at all times of the year But
little improvement had been made in
that end of the county of late years,
and as the residents all depend on this
road it was deemed the proper thing to
have it put in good condition.
Supervisor Curtis was authorized to
have approaches made to the new
bridge across Willow Creek, near Fol-
som, recently constructed by Silas
Carle.
Assistant District Attorney ]. c.
Jones appeared before the board in
reference to the matter of the obstruc-
ton of the road through Courtland by
a Mr.. Bates, who claims portion OF
roadway is on his land.
Mr. Jones said that from what he
could learn the county had used the
road for a quarter of a century, While
five years use was sufficient to estab-
lish its right to the free use of at least
forty feet of roadway.
on motion of Todd, Supervisor Jen-
kins was empowered to take such ac-
ton in the matter as might be further
advised by the District Attorney.
The rest of the days session was
spent in examining demands against
the county, and the board took a recess
till this morning

A HEAR4LESO TRICK BY CHINAMEN.
Attempt to Swear Away the Lite Of an
Innocent Man.
Fearful of Falling Into Their Own
Trap, However, They Aban-
don the Job.

When Bret Harte wrote that For
ways that are dark, and tricks that are
vain, the heather Chinee is peculiar" "
he must have foreseen a condition OF
affairs that has come to light here.
-Four years ago Lee F'ong Gee, a
butcher, was murdered in this city, but
there were no witnesses to the crime,
and the murderer escaped. Recently
two Cinnamon told District Attorney
Ryan they knew who the murderer was
and where to get him. A warrant was
accordingly issued, and the Cinnamon
went to Visalia and had Haw Yue ar
rested and brought to this city as the
murderer
When he was arraigned in JUS
tice Henry's court yesterday, however,
the alleged prosecuting witnesses were
not there. The reason was, apparently,
that they were afraid of being charged
with perjury. for it now looks as il the
charge against HaW Yue was a
trumped-up one.
Recently the prisoner, who is known
in Visalia as a trustworthy Chinaman,
beat a lottery game out OF S2,0OO and
the cunning and heartless fellows VINO
owed him the money sought TO get him
out OF the way by, If possible, swearing
away his life or his liberty
But when they saw that he had en-
pIoyed eX-Assenblyman Alvord 10 de-
fend him, and realized that he would
be able TO prove an alibi, they got their
agents to keep away.
On the request of District Attorney
Ryan yesterday Justice Henry dis
charged Haw Yue, and now the Dis
trict Attorney is very anxious to lind
Lee Kee, the man who signed the COM
plant charging Haw Yue with murder.
If caught he will no doubt soon find
himself behind the State Prison walls,
where he sought to have Haw Iue put.
There is no doubt that scores or hun
dreds of Chinese have been sent to
prison in this State on testimony OF the
character that it was intended to en-
ploy in convicting Haw Yue. The chi
nese have imposed on courts and juries
in the most shameless and baretaced
manner as many lawyers who have
done business for them are well aware.
If this fellow Lee Kee should be
caught he deserves the SevereSt punish
ment the law can give him, for he has
not only committed perjury but he at
tempted to swear away the life OF a fel-
low being

quota National Park.
Troop 1. Fourth Cavalry, commanded
by Captain James Lockett, arrived at
the Presidio Saturday about noon, after
u twenty-one days march from the
Sequoia National Park, where they have
been stationed during the past six
months protecting the park from in
truderS.
Troop is composed Of fiftyeight men,
fifty-three of whom have been out in the
field, while the remainder were left at
the Presdio in charge of the quarters
and troop property. The officers with
the troop were Captain James LOckett
commanding, First Lieutenant j. e.
Nolan, Second Lieutenant Thomas G.
Carson and First Lieutenant Charles
E B. Flagg, Assistant Surgeon.
The troop left here the 9th of last
May, and after arriving at the park
established a permanent camp at Min
eral Lake Tulare County. Three other
camps were established throughout the
park-at Giant Forest, commanded by
Lieutenant Carson; Grant Park and
Hockett Meadows-each in charge of
non commissioned officer. The men
were distributed among these camps
and were under the supervision of Cap
tain Lockett, who paid regular visits
TO them during the summer and regu-
lated their movements.
Their principal duty was patrOlling
the country surrounding their camps,
with instructions to arrest all sheep
and cattle men and capture all stock.
The Sheepmen were very shy this year,
as troops We're there last year and en-
forced discipline Only one intruder was
arrested during their stay and he was
taken to the boundary and turned loose
with warning, while the sheep We're
scattered A canteen was established
at the main camp for the benefit of
the men and the profits derived from the
sales were devoted to their mess.
Aside from regular duty the troop en-
ioyed splendid hunting and fishing, IS
deer and bear were in great abundance
About ten inches Of snow had fallen in
the park when the soldiers left, which
protects it from invasion until spring.
when more troops will be detailed there
on the same duty. The horses and pack
mules stood the trip well, notwithstand-
ire poor forage in some portions of the
domain.
Troop c Of the same regiment and in
their quarters at the Preside had a
fine dinner awaiting the troopers upon
their arrival. which was greatly appre
ciated by the boys after their long
march.
They were twenty-one days travelling
from their permanent camp, which was
near Visalia, to their proper station,
the distance being only 2S9 miles, as
registered by a roadOmeter attached
TO one Of the Quartermaster wagons.
The reason for short marches was to
avoid arriving here just before muster
which takes place on the last day of
every month, as their equipments are
in no condition to be passed upon by a
scrutinizing inspector. They will be ex-
cused from post duty for three or four
days. enabling them to prepare for the
regular routine of garrison drill.-San

AN INFAMOUS OUTRAGE.
The City Wrapped in Darkness Las
Nioht


The Board of Trustees last night
gave another evidence of its imbecility
and its utter disregard of the welfare of
the people whose servant it is supposed
to be. A short time ago, in the face OF
strong public protest, it entered into a
contract for lighting the city, one clause
of which provides that the electric street
| lamps need not be lighted on the four
nights preceding and following the full
moon unless the moon is ObScured by
clouds. That this provision is a ridic
ulouS one every citizen, except he be
member of the Board of Trustees,
knows. But the action of the board last
night even went farther in stupidity.
The company which secured the light
il G contract, which went into effect
Sunday night, has nothing like the full
number of lamps in position, and is not
in condition to light up the city. Last
night j. G. Pierson of the Capital Gas
Company, which has heretofore had
the contract and whose lamps are still
in position, went before the Board of
Trustees and asked whether it was de-
sired that his company should continue
to furnish light until the new COM
pany was ready to do so.
l.. L. Hatfield, representing the lat
ter, said that they were operating under
the moonlight schedule" and were not
compelled to light up last night. The
attention of the board was called to the
clause providing that the lamps should
be lit when the moon was obscured by
clouds, but it promptly ordered that
the Capital Gas Company's contract
be declared closed and the city left in
darkness until such time as the new
company can furnish light.
A dense fog had settled over the city
and the darkness was cimmerian. Cit
izens on their way home from the bus
mess portion of the city actually had
to feel their way. Just a little light spot
could be seen through the dense clouds
of fog to show where the moon was
OF course the new electric lighting
company is not to blame for this state of
affairs. 1t is probably making every
possible effort to get its lamps in posi-
ti' Il, and besides, it is not its business
tC look out for the city's interests. That
is the business of the Trustees, but it
is most shamefulIy neglected
