THOSE COYOTE CLAIMS.
Holders of Just Ones Need Pay No
COmmiS SiOnS.

There are over $500 claims for coyote
scalps pending against the State,
amounting to about 100000. Many Of
these are held by brokers, but the lar
ger proportion of them are individual
claims for small amounts, which have
been sent directly by letter to the State
Board of Examiners.
The board has delayed passing on
these claims in order to have an op-
potunity to investigate a large number
that are alleged to be fraudulent.
They intend, however, to take them up
soon and go through the list.
Certain parties, knowing this, have
issued a circular to those having claims
SO worded as to give the impression
that the board is hostile to all the
claims, and that it will be necessary
for those who want to get their money
to employ a lawyer to look after the
matter before the board and TO lobby
the claims through the Legislature
after the Examiners shall have passed
favorably on them. In the circular
they offer to collect the claims on a
commission of 80 per cent.
The members of the board are very
indignant over the matter, and Attor-
ney-General Fitzgerald at the late
meeting wished to have the parties is
suing the circular cited before the
board to explain their reasons for the
insinuation made The board wishes it
stated that whatever claims are con-
sidered just by it will be recommended
to the Legislature for payment; that
the individual claims will be taken up
and passed on first, and if reported IA
vOrably there will be no need OF law
yers or lobbyists to enable honest
claimants to get their money.

BE TRUE TO THE CAUSE.
ForcibIe Appeal nade by Mountain
Paper.

(From the Amador Republican,
Next Saturday, September 26th, Hon.
Grove L. Johnson will be here and ad-
dress the people. We expect to see a
large concourse Of people in Jackson on
that day. If there are any Republicans
in Amador County who are inclined to
be lukewarm relative to the Congress
sional part of our. county campaign
work, we admonish them to reconsider
the mater without delay and take steps
to satisfy themselves more thoroughly
on the points not entirely satisfactory to
them
Gentlemen, the Republicans of Anna
dor County cannot afford to move heav-
en- and earth to help elect Mckinley and
Hobart and then kick the fat In the
fire by sitting idly by and allowing Am
ador County to assist in sending a DEM
ocratic Congressman from the Second
District to hamper and clog Major Nc
Kinley in the royal work we elect him
to do. Is that course wise, fellow Re-
publicans? Is it justice to the party;
is it fair to Mr.. Mckinley; is it safe
and polite thing to do?
Gentlemen, we implore you to dis
miss any feeling you may have against
any candidate on the Republican ticket,
and be honest and true and just to our
great party in this important campaign.
We must prevent the Democratic party
from getting control of the National
Congress, or of acquiring any consider
able potency therein. To do this, every
Congressional District in the Union
must do its full, fair, square and up
right duty. Every Republican vote in
this county should be cast as faithfully
for Hon. Grove L. Johnson as for Nc
Kinley and Hobart, unless we want to
cripple our President after he shall
have been elected
Remember that one might about as
we'll vote for the Democratic nominee,
for the Republican nominee.
Bury all feeling, then, and walk up to
the scratch and help elect a Republican
Congressman in the Second District 1t
is important this year Of all Presiden-
tial years. Don't dodge your duty, fell
low-voter; cast your vote to win. The
welfare of this nation demands this
faithfulness on your part, and your own
interest as Republican demands it.
Dismiss, therefore, all feeling but that
of patriotism and faithfulness to the
entire Republican ticket We appeal to
you in the name Of Mckinley and Ho-
bart that you do not help to send Dem
ocratic Congressman to Washington to
hamper and destroy McKinley's work.

FRUIT DECISION.
The National Fruit Association Once
rore Pockets a Loss.

Yesterday Judge Johnson was en-
gaed in hearing the case of Root against
the National Fruit Association The
case arose out of q purchase Of fruit
just prior to the great railroad strike of
1894, made by the defendant from Fred
Kripp, a rancher residing just below
the town Of Washington, Yolo County.
The strike came on just as the fruit was
ripe enough to pick for shipping, and
the defendants were unable to send the
crop to market where they expected to
sell it. They therefore refused to ac-
cept the fruit or to pay for It,
Kripp assigned the contract to A H.
Root, and suit was commenced for the
value of the fruit at the contract price.
Judgment was rendered for plaintiff
for the sum of 81, ,113 75. The plaintiff 3
attorneys were d. E. Alexander and

FALSE PRETENSES.
Thomas Lynch's Case Taken Under
Amusement Yesterday.

In the Police Court yesterday morn
ing Thomas Lynch was tried on a charge
of having obtained goods under false
pretenses.
The evidence showed that Lynch and
two other men had visited E. s. Tryon's
tailoring establishment and ordered
suits of clothes made, making deposits
of So each as guarantees of good faith
Lynch represented to the proprietor
that upon presentation of his bill to the
man by whom the former was employed
it would be paid. After the clothes had
been delivered the bill was presented
when 1t was found that Lynch did not
have sufficient money in wages coming
to him to square the account.
1t was contended by the defendant
council, H. l.. Buckley, that the offense
according to the evidence, did not sub
stantiate the charge and there being a
doubt in the mind Of the court, the mat
ter was taken under advisement until
this morning.

Season Tickets.

Eds. Record Union: I read with
much pleasure in yesterdays Record
Union" the suggestions of General
MARITIME concerning a lower rate of ad-
mission to the Pavilion during our State
Fair, and to show how near his ideas
are right will take my own case as an
example. Some years ago myself and
husband used to attend every evening,
as am great lover of music, but since
they have done away with the season
family ticket I rarely go but once; or
in other words, heretofore I, or we, paid
the society So and now we pay them but
ST. Now 1t seems to me they lost S4 In
my case alone. Now how many others
are there like ourselves, who go but one
evening to the Pavilion during the whole
fair, who if they had season ticket
would go almost every evening, and the
society would be 81 the gamer In every
instance. Every thing is being reduced
In price and the State Fair should be no
exception, and / do hope before the next
State Fair they will fix it so the poor as
we'll as the rich can enjoy the sights In

from our midst and take to 81 mself
our friend and brother scholar,

scholars who have crossed the river
of life; and whereas, in his death the
community has lost one of its noblest
friends, the church a devoted mem
Der, the Sunday school one of its
most faithful and promising scholars,

Resolved, l. That we deeply
mourn the loss of our departed
brother, but we trust that our loss is
his eternal gain.
2. That we strive to emulate him
in his faithfulness as a Sunday school
scholar, take his unblemished char
acter and his high moral conviction
as a model and endeaver to attain to
that exalted plane which he had
reached.

father, sisters and brothers our sin
cere and heartfelt sympathy in this
their sad loss.
