WHEELWAY NOTES.
Electric Line Poles Planted-PrOposa!
for a Circuit of Wheel Paths.

This morning at o'clock an explor-
ing committee of wheelmen will go to
Elk Grove and beyond to Judge the
ground for a wheelway toward Stock
ton. This committee will observe the
relay race as a test Of the difficulties Of
the low ground between McConnelrs 5
and Arno.
Some discussion is still going on
about a wheelway from Folsom through
Ofangevale and Fair Oaks to a bluff
on the north bank of the American
River, which is opposite high ground
on the southern bank. The latter
ground is owned by Taylor & Studarus
and is not very large piece. 1t bor-

Between the bluffs wire foot bridge
can be swung for a moderate cost, and
the circle will then be complete, in
which REUTERS, Folsom and Fair Oaks
are equidistant points.
The poles for the electric current
have been planted from RosevilIe to
the American River bridge and the
rest will be posted" in the city 10

MEMORIAL DAY.
r1embers of the Grand Army Will
Deliver Addresses to the Schools.

A meeting of a special committee
from the Board of Education and del
egateS from the Grand Army Posts of
this city was held last evening for the
purpose Of arranging programme for
the public schools of this city on the
29th the day previous to Memorial Day.
There were present from the board
President Davis and Superintendent
Erlewine and Messrs. Sherburn, Crouch
and Brown; from the Grand Army
Posts, T. w. Sheehan, G. w. Herr, G..
w. Ficks and Comrade McMurray. 1t
was decided that each Of the city
schools should be addressed on the Doth
by member Of the Grand Army of the
Republic in uniform, escorted by a
squad Of Veterans Of the War, also in
uniform. Full and definite arrange
ments will be made next Saturday,
when speakers will be selected and as
signed to the various schools of the
city. In addition to the speakers, inter-
esting exercises will be held in each
school,
The arrangement is the result of a
resolution passed some time since by
the Board Of Education to set aside
three days in each year, instead of once
a month, as formerly, when patriotic
exercises should be held in the public
schools. 1t is believed that better re-
suits will be had by not having the ex-
ercises SO often, and that they will be
more impressive.
The three days are February 22d
(Washington's Birthday, May Both
(Memorial Day. and July 4th, and the
Veterans of the Civil War have been
called in to assist in the exercises of
Memorial Day on account of the asso-
Citations connected with it. AS before
stated, the school exercises will take
place on Friday. May 29th.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
Jones and Carroll Win the Clubs 5
ChamDi0nShip Doubles.

The opening tennis tournament of the
Capital Tennis Club was held on their
courts yesterday before quite an audi
ence Of ladies and gentlemen.
The grounds at present are not in the
best of condition, owing to the tearing
down of the fence, but as soon as it
is taken away a wire netting will be
put around the courts and the grounds
made more attractive, which will be
quite an ornament to the Pavilion
grounds.
Much enthusiasm was shown during
some of the sharp rallies, particularly
SO when the Misses Beaumonts played
their usually good game in the mixed
doubles.
Both courts were used, Jones an
Carroll playing against Bailey and Up
son on one court, and the Smith broth
ers against Taylor and Stokes on the
other. The sets between Jones and Car
roll and Bailey and Upson were by far
the most brilliant, and some good play
ing was seen.
Jones and Carroll won the selection OF
the courts and started the serve, win
ming two games straight as starter.
From that on to the finish of the set,
both teams settled down to good, steady
| work, Jones and Carroll winning the
set-6-3.
The next set was taken by Bailey and
Upson in rush, in which some gooS
volleying and lobbing was done. Score
G-2.
The final set was won after hard
struggle by Jones and Carroll. Score
Ga.
Taylor and Stokes won their first set
by a score of 6-3, but lost the other two
sets to the Smith brothers-6-3, 6-4.
These two teams have not had the
practice necessary for good team work,
as was shown when the Smith brothers
| played the finals with Jones and Car
| roll, the latter team winning two sets
straight-6-O, 6-0-thus winning the
club championship doubles.
Jones and Carroll played good tennis
throughout the tournament, and their
team work was excellent, some Of the
| rallies being especially good.
In the championship for mixed
doubles Carroll and Miss M. Beaumont
defeated Jones and Miss S. Beaumont
after some good tennis, which was thor
oughly enjoyed by the spectators, by
| the score Of 6-3, TO.
At the tennis tournament held in
Wheatland last Friday Jones and Car
| roll defeated all comers, but they had
to play tennis to do it, as the Wheatland
| cracks are right up to date when it
comes to tennis, they having an ex-
cellent court and do considerable prac-

testified, were not under consideration
by the jury at the time the Supervisors
were subpenaed.
The court said that the Grand Jury's
custom was to consider all the evidence
before it in making up its indictments
or accusations.
Mr.. Ryan argued that this proceeding
was in the nature of an impeachment
and purely a statutory one, not appeal
able to the Supreme Court. In the cases
quoted by Mr.. Jones the witnesses were
compelled to testify, which was not the
case in regard to the testimony of the
Supervisors.
The court said he had taken a great
deal of pains in examination of this
question in regard to the opinion rem
dered by him in the morning. He had
also consulted his colleagues on the
question in order to fortify his opinion
and they agreed with him that all the
courts had decided that when a subpoena
is issued it is compulSion. He had
found in his research, two other decis-
lens to the same effect, which none
of the counsel had brought to his notice
The District Attorney asked the court
to take the matter under adviSement for
a week, and the court agreed to do so
and allow him to file briefs.

Afternoon Session.

Ellis Kilgore, member of the Grand
Jury, testified that Morrison was called
by the jury in order to find out where
the contracts were for the furnishing of
supplies to the county in order to ascer-
tain prices It was the same with the
examination of other Supervisors The
accusations were not under considera-
ton at the time. They were asked
however, in regard to mileage, contracts,
itemizing of bills and various other mat
ters contained in the accusations.
John We'll. the foreman. testified that
the Supervisors were subpenaed at the
request of the different committees to
ascertain in regard to certain claims
contracts and other matters The con-
tracts could not be found in order to
compare the bills with them. so the
Supervisors were sent for The accusa-
tons were not under consideration at
the time and We're founded on the docu-
mentary evidence the jury had before it
and that which it did not have before
it. Messrs. Foster, Kilgore and Nc
MILAN asked most of the questions.
Questions were asked regarding mile
age and itemizing bills and also as to
why the board had purchased goods out
to not advertising.
]. e. Camp testified that Supervisor
Jenkins asked him for the privilege of
appearing before the jury in relation to
the charges made by Dr. Nichols
The rest of his testimony was similar
to that of Messrs. We'll and Kilgore
The jury found from the testimony of
the Supervisors that there were no con-
tracts and it found the accusations
from all the evidence before it.
This ended the testimony
District Attorney Ryan said that he
did not think the decisions read in the
morning by Mr.. Jones applied to this
case The accusations. as witnesses had

FILLING PRESCRIPTIONS.
The First Gun in the Pharmacy Case
Fired Yesterday.

The case of the People against
Landis of the cooperative Store" of
this city, charged with retailing medi-
cines and filling prescriptions without
being registered pharmacist, or having
pharmacist as assistant, was called
before Justice Davis yesterday after
noon.
The complaint related that the de-
fendant sold to j. Buck medicine pre-
scribed by DR.. Hanna, and that the
prescription was compounded in the
store, not under the supervision of a
registered pharmacist
Attorney Frank Sprague, counsel for
the defense, interposed a demurrer to
the complaint on the ground that it
was irregular.
City Attorney Brown was anxious
that the case should go through in such
order that there would be no reversal
IN the Superior Courts on technicali-
ties and agreed to have the demurrer
sustained.
The case is considered to be one of
considerable Importance, and a new
and carefully drawn complaint will be
sworn out and test case made of the
matter.

THE OUTLAWS BURIED
At Wichita Falls-More About the
Lynching-Shcriff Moses Replies
to Jester

Wichita Falls, Tex, Feb. 27.-(Spe-
cial. 1.-The two outlaws that attended
Judge Lynch's court last night and there
by came to their death by being hanged,
were buried this afternoon in the potters
field near the city cemetery. They were
nicely buried, with only enough attend
ance to perform the necessary duties be-
ing attached to burial of desperadoes.
Elmer Lewis, father of j. ii. Lewis,
tclcgraphcd the authorities at Wichita
him full particulars.
The report in the Dallas News today,
stating that the Jail door was battered
TO pieces with sledge hammers, gathering
zcns of Wichita Falls are not so well
pleased with the untrue report, which
has been hurled abroad all over the coun-
try.
Deputy Sheriff Hardesty was covered
with five or six pistols and at the same
time ordered to produce the keys, which
he refused to do at first, but taking in
the situation more closely he deemed it
more proper to hand over the keys. Har-
dcSty is Il brave officer, but 800 or 400
men. armed to the teeth, were too much
for him. The keys being procured, the
Jail door was opened and the Jail calmly
entered.
The prisoners were growing very
anxious to know what was going to hap
pen and became excited, for the time had
come, and poor Dorsey was soon to be
revcnged. The mob soon reached the
cell where the prisoners were, and being
requested to come out to the cell door,
Crawford promptly stepped forward.
Lewis first refused, but finally came to
the side of his partner so they could die
together, hanging between the heaven
and earth. After securing the prisoners
they were safely carried to their final
corner, where they brutally murdered
Cashier Dorsey not more than 80 hours
before.
There is not dissenting voice expressed
today; all classes know the murderers
and robbers were justly dealt with. The
verdict of the coroner's inquest was not
returned today, as Justice Yeager want
ed to examine more witnesses tomorrow
A telegram was received today by
Sheriff Moses from Acting Governor
Jester, inquirng about the lynching.
Sheriff Moses replied as follows:

pie took in lynching Crawford and Lewis.

FOSTER CRAWFORD AND ELMEk
LEWIS WERE STRUNG UP AT
WICHITA FALLS
IN FRONT OF The BANK THEY ROBBED
Crawford Talked for Sympathy But Got
the Marble Heart-Lewis Was Game
and Wanted His Father to
Know He Died Game.

Wichita, Tex, Feb. 2G.-(Spccial.)-
Foster Crawford and Elmer Lewis, the
bank robbers, were lynched at the City
National bank corner, where they so
fiendishly murdered Cashier Dorsey yes
terday.
Foster Crawford says he did not shoot
Dorsey. He asked for whisky, which
was given him by Dick Quinn. He then
asked for Burnett, and said he wanted
Il long talk with him, saying he was a
friend to Burnett until few days ago.
Again he asked for whisky, which was
promptly given him by Tom Burnett. He
drank and talked more freely. Crawford
seemed to realize what was coming and
was very nervous He couldn't stand,
had to sit down all the time. Crawford
was working hard for sympathy, which
failed to come, and never will come, to
any of Dorsey's friends when they look
at the City National bank, where Dor
sey m:de and retained the fellowship of
many.
All this time the mob was very tame,
no shooting at all. Large bonfrcs were
kept up all the time for the benefit of the
large crowd that witnessed the hanging
of the two men who doubtless met their
just punishment. Crawford says there
is bag of money in Turkey Bend, but
did not say how much money, and of
course the report will not be credited gen
orally. He was still working to keep
from being hanged.
Elmer Lewis did not talk much. only
cursed few times and said he did not
kill Dorsey. He asked some one to write
his father at Neosho, Missouri, that he
died game with his boots on. Lewis later
stated that Crawford killed Dorsey.
Crawford and Lewis are now hanging
on the corner Of the City National bank.
They will not be cut down before tomor-
row. People are here from Henrietta.
Holiday and Iowa park. All advocated
Judge Lynchs law.
At first there was some talk of burning
the fiends, but that idea was abandoned
for the good old way of hanging.
