PETERSON DISCHARGED.
Justice Henry Did Not Think the Law
Had Been Defied.

Justice Henry yesterday heard the
case against w. F. Peterson, of refusing
to give to Deputy Assessor B. Leonard
the names of those of his employees who
are subject to poll taxes. and at it's con-
clusion he discharged the defendant.
Leonard testified that last March he
called at Peterson's place of business,
and that the latter's bookkeeper, August
Fredericks, gave him a list OF the en-
ployes, but requested him not to let on
that he had it nor from whom it was OBJ
tanned Hence, when he called Oh Tues
day last he asked to see Peterson him
self and applied to him for list Of
the persons i'm his employ, but Peterson
refused to give it to him, but offered to
Pay his own individual tax
Bookkeeper Fredericks corrob grated a
portion of Leonards testimony, and ex-
planned that the reason he did not want
the list shown was that in former years
the men made fuss whenever they
were given poll tax receipts in part pay
men of their wages, and he did not
want to have them prejudiced against
him.
There was testimony to the effect that
when Peterson declined to give Leonard
the names of the men he told him he
could go through the building and col
lect them himself.
Brief arguments We're made by Dep
uty District Attorney J. Charles Jones
for the prosecution and Charles r. Jones
for the defense.
In directing the discharge of Peterson,
Justice Henry commended Deputy AS
SCISSOR Leonard for his zeal in
the discharge of his duty, and
SAID 1T was likewise the duty
OF every man to obey the mandates
OF the law, but in the case before him
1t did not appear that the defendant had
tried to disobey the law or to obstruct
the officer. He had given the latter
permission to go through his establish
ment and collect frcm the employees.
He would therefore discharge him.

Sacramento's Future.

Eds Record Union: 1t is the almost
universal opinion of those who take an
all-around view Of things that Califor-
MIA has a great future. Her situation,
her immense domain, the character of
her people, her varied and rich re-
sources are factors that will command
success in the long run. Known
throughout the civilized world on ac-
count of the gold taken from the hills
and mountains, she is now becoming
known by her grain and fruits.
For many years the trend of capital,
population and tourists has been to
Southern California. This is slowly
changing, and has been brought about
by giving information to tourists by
lectures on Northern and Central Cali
fornia and articles in newspapers and
magazines Men of wide intelligence,
of aggressiveness and power became
convinced that Sacramento and vi
cinity in many respects were superior
TO Los Angeles and its suburbs. They
purchased what was then known as the
San Juan grant" situated on the shell
tered highlands of the American River,
about ten miles from our city. This
was about one year ago. Now they
nave a COlply oI over -to, represent
ing twenty States, and have built sixty
or more buildings. Is not this the be-
ginning of substantial prosperity? No
better class of people can be found
than those who are making their homes
there. They viii influence their friends
in the East to come and live in the
Sacramento Valley.
Rev. A. G.. Herrick, who has been
looking out for those who have been
visiting our city since April, 1894, and
is still doing that work, has found the
visitors, who have come from all over
the United States and Europe. de-
lighted with this part of California
with our city, it's sights, its busy peo-
Ile and its air of prosperity
Strangers are very grateful for the
attention shown them: twenty or thirty
visit the Capitol building daily What
an influence each one has by his let
ters written home, which are published
in their papers; what talks the tray
elers give on their return home
Little by little the real excellences
OF Sacramento and her rich valley will
be known when the current shall turn
toward this part of our State. Who can
tell what great results viii follow?
What city is there In California to-
day where there are brighter prospects
than our Queen City by California's
longest river?
Let us all help build up our city, val
ley and State. SACRAMENTAN.

GAVE BEER TO TEE GIRLS
And Were Given One Hundred Days in
Jail Therefor.
Henry Williams and D. Capuro Will
Now Break Rock for the
County.

Word was brought to the police sta
ton Wednesday night that three little
girls We're having a rousing time on the
river front, at the foot of n street, a
can of beer being the principal center
of enthusiasm, and officers were at once
dispatched to sift the matter to the bot
tom, arrest the parties furnishing the
beer and hold the girls for witnesses
against them.
1t proved to be a light job to corral
the gang, and in a very short time
Henry Williams and D. Capuro were
looking between the bars of the city
Prison back upon the course they had
pursued, and alternately making proph-
ecies as to what would be the outcome.
The girls were also found, as stated in
yesterdays paper They were Oracle
Nelson, aged Is, and Mamie and Ella
Westerbrook, aged 10 and IL, respect
lively.
The story as told to Justice Henry, who
was acting magistrate in Justice Da-
Wis court, showed that the three chill
dren-who are small for their ages
had been fishing when Williams and
Capuro crossed in their boat to Sacra-
mento from the Yolo side and bought a
can of beer, which they proceeded to
drink They offered the children some,
the excuse being that the water was
very muddy.
The girls helped drink the beer, and
then another and another can was
bought, and the two men were just
about starting for the Yolo side of the
river with the two older girls when the
officers appeared on the scene and
nabbed the entire party.
In court yesterday morning Williams
explained that the girls had had poor
luck fishing on this side of the river,
and he and his partner" Capuro, in
tended taking them to the Yolo side and
giving them a string of fish. Justice
Henry considered the matter too much
of fish story to weigh very heavily as
evidence, and after all it did not mat
ter, as the men had pleaded guilty to
the charge of giving intoxicantS to min
crs, and upon that the statute gave no
discretion to the court regarding the
imposing of a minimum penalty.
One hundred days in the County Jail,
or like number Of dollars at the usual
ratio, was the lghtest sentence which
could be imposed for the offense and
that was what the men We're given, to-
eether with a severe lecture, thrown in
gratis. They did not appear to be great
" disconnected, evidently considering a
bunk in the County Jail preferable to a
damp, dank boat on the river during the
mosquito season.
Then the three youthful beer drinkers
were called up severally and threat
ened with all sorts Of dire punishment
if they persisted in fishing and using
beer for bait, among which long
terms in reform schools stood promi
nently forth. The two older girls worked
up a few tears as sauce for the occasion,
though it was evident that they had no
great amount of respect for the fatherly
advice and flowing beard of the veteran

DEADLY MILK.
How rIany Diaries Have Consumptivt
Cattle in Their Herds?

A veterinary surgeon of this city has
in his possession the lungs of a COW
that was badly afflicted with tubercu-
lcsis-so badly that the use of the an
imaps milk by a child would mean
sure death
Some of the City Trustees have ex-
amined the diseased lungs and have
been compelled to admit that chill
dren are subjected to great danger in
drinking the milk of cows thus af-
fected.
1t Is claimed that the cow from which
the diseased organs were taken was one
of herd regularly MIXED in a dairy
that daily supplied city people with
milk. How the City Trustees, some of
whom are men of family can longer
ignore the Board of Health's demand
for Milk and Food Inspector, is some
