charge of contempt which may mean
term in the County Jail.
The difficulty arose out of dispute over
lands. On October 16, 1895, Kutner &
Huffman of Fresno leased from E. B. Per-
rim 1000 acres of the Chowchilla ranch,
ten miles west of MADEIRA This land is all
under fence and was rented by Kutner e.
Huffman as sheep pasture The lessees
took immediate possession of the premises
and occupied them until few days ago.
In December, 1895 Perrin contracted the
land to Gordan Griffith, real estate man
OF San Jose, for the purpose of making a
sale, Griffith representing that he could
settle colony thereon. This he failed to
do, but he did lease the land for one wear
beginning January 1, 1896, to the Miller &
Lux.estate. This, it is claimed, was with
out the knowledge of Perrin and presum-
ably outside of the agreement between
himself and Griffith.
On December % Miller drove 600 head of
cattle to the land, broke down the fence
and turned them into the pasture. He
was at once notified by Kutner & Huffman
to remove them, but did not comply,
whereupon Kutner & Huffman turned
them out.
The cattle were driven back by Miller
the same day, and armed men were placed
by him along the fence to prevent any
further action by Kutner e. Huffman.
Among these men was Billy" Morrison,
a wel[known fighting man with a record
of having killed several men. Kutner e.
Huffman then had J. F. Warren, MilIer's
foreman, and the vaqueros under his
charge, arrested, charging them with
forcible entry and detainer. They were
released on nominal bail.
Suit was brought on January by Kutner
Huffman against Miller and others, and
an injunction issued to restrain them from
occupying the lands. This injunction was
served the same day upon Miller, but in
disregard of it he again Yesterday
caused the fence to be broken down and
his cattle turned into the pasture.
To-day warrants were again issued for
the arrest of Warren and the vaqueros,
but so far no return has been made upon

OF spectators witnessed the struggle.
The college team consisted of Messrs.
Davenport, Moore, Bell, Eaton, Broome,
Ealand, Orella, Cooper, Kittredge, Dibblee
and Ransom, with McDuffy and Stow as
substitutes, while the city team was COM
posed OF Meyer, Broughton, Lopez, Friel,
Killer, Butler. Bodie. Penny, Henderson,
Starr and Lennon, with Colt and Wright
as substitutes. Although the home team
had been coached for some time by Jose phi
Pierce, formerly the famous center rush of
Berkeley, who umpired the game, it was
evident from the first that the superior
years and long training of the college boys
gave them the advantage. Besides, the
college boys had mascot-an evil-looking
bulldog by the name of Bowson.
The game was hotly contested Meyer,
Lopez and Killer of the city boys signalized
themselves by their excellent playing.
Had this quartet been better supported
victory for the home team would have been
certain. The team work of the college
boys won for them the game by score Of
70 to 10. Bell made two fine touchdowns
and Killer another, but the latter PLAYER
was obliged to retire from the game later
on, on account of an injury received. No
lives were lost, but one of the locals is said
to have undertaken the unpleasant task of
dlgestlng five of his own teeth.

DEMANDED HUSH MONEY,
Serious Charges Made Against
the Grand Jury of
Chicago.
Bucket.Shop Brokers Who Had to Pay
Tribute to Escape Indict-
ment.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. An the columns
OF an afternoon paper c. F. Van Wrinkle
OF the grain commission firm of G.. F. Van
Wrinkle d Co., who was indicted a few DAYS
ago on the charge OF keeping a bucket
shop, makes the charge that he has been
approached by members of the Grand
Jury now sitting, who indicted him, and
$3.50 demanded from him as the price for
the jury not indicting him.
Van Wrinkle says he knows of other COM
mission men who were approached by
grand jurors and asked for "hush" money.
He mentions two of the largest commits
sion firms in the city, with New York
Stock Exchange connections, as having
been "seen," and infers from the fact of
their not having been indicted that they
paid up or made some agreement.
Brokers outside the Board of Trade who
were indicted and Others who were not.
while claiming fear of grand juries as a
reason for not having their names pub
ished, substantiate the charges of corrup-
ton against the present jury and their
predecessors who have tried the bucket
shop graft with profit to their bank &C
counts.
1t is alleged that the present jury has
a scale OF prices from 500 to $500, while
the past ones have been satisfied with 500
or little more. Their alleged methods
of procedure are exposed, and they are
charged with being "bloodsuckers" and
''raw for blood" compared with other
juries.
Foreman Smith, of the Grand Jury ac-
cused, said more honest jury never sat
in the county and was sure no one had
made dollar, although there were plenty

LINCOLN, NEBR., Jan. 4.-Icillius John
son, who helped to repel an Indian in
vasion in Nebraska in 1865, has applied to
Acknowledgement Barry for record of
service on which TO base his claim for
pension. The case seems to hinge on the
question of whether or not Johnson was
ever in the service of the United States.
He was member of Company B, First
Regiment, Second Brigade, Nebraska Ma
tional Guard, when the guard was ordered
out to repel attacks of Indians. The case
is considered remarkable and important
and the first of the kind on record, though
many others may bring like CLAIMS. Be
cause the guard was ordered out ny Ter
ritorial Governor, who may be considered
a representative of the General Govern
ment, it is claimed that sucn soldiers were
actually in the service OF the Government.

Handle the Water at the
Union Claim.

JACKSON, CAL, Jan. Aiming con-
tinues active in Amador County and
nearly every day new claims are being
opened. J. Ross Browne and Mr.. Behr OF
San Francisco were here this week and
commenced active operations at the
Oneida. The company's boarding-hous
is nearly finished and a contract was let
to P. Buell. & Co. of Stockton for 125 900
feet Of shaft timbers. The new shaft will
be 1000 feet east of the old workings and
will be sunk 100 feet perpendicularly be-
fore the vein will be encountered. There
is no doubt that this mine will be a divi-
dendpayer.
At the Argonaut the new water hoist
(the largest il the county, was started on
Saturday last and works to perfection. At
the Alma sinking is continued and good
Roadway is being made. They are still in
green stone, but the slate belt will be met
within sixty feet, when better progress can
be made. A telephone line is now being
constructed from Jackson to the Union
Consolidated, distance of eight miles.
d. Gutmann was here over New Year, and
while here bought the pun ping gear at
the Wolverine mine This gear is one of
the largest on the coast, and when erected
at the Union will be more than able to
handle all the water there. The main
tunnel OF the Union IS now being retim-
bered and will be finished within six
weeks. By that time the pump will be
erected and the hosting machinery Will be
in position, when sinking will be resumed
in the main shaft and the mill started on
ore from the 800 level. There are now
thirty men employed at the Union.
The Watson mine at Butte City has
been bonded by San Francisco parties.
and a 10-stamp mill is to be erected at
once. AT the Jackson Gate the shaft is
now down 200 feet, and the quartz is i'm
proving all the time. This mine shows
up as well as any in the county.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Jan. A COM
plant was filed in the Superior Court this
morning by Fred w. Swantou against the
Santa Cruz Electric Light and Power Com
pany, which makes the third suit of the
kind he has begun of late. In his COM
plant he prays for judgment for $500 for
services rendered in floating a loan for
$67 800 in February last.
The Electric Light and Power Company,
prior to February of last year, negotiated
loan OF SAC, 600 from the City Bank of this
city and for security gave bonds for $50, 600,
with the agreement that should the bonds
not be taken up in one year. time the bank
should become the owner OF them, thus
making $4,000 the company owed the
bank instead OF $4,000, a loss OF SlO,O to
the company. When the year expired the
company did not have the funds to liqui-
date and urged Swanton to float a loan

rowing SCI, 800 for the company and placed
bonds to cover the amount.
Swanton alleges in his complaint that he
has never received financial consideration
for his services, and fixes $500 as a rea-
sonable charge, fqr which amount he sues.

CHANCES OF BLACKBURN,
There Is Prospect Of a Bitter
Struggle for the Kentucky
Senatorship.
AS at Present Constituted, the Legisla.
ture Is Equally Divided by Demo.
Gratis and Republicans.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 4.-The ben.
NAL session of the Kentucky Legislature
convenes Tuesday. The Senatorial con-
test overshadows all other questions, and
there is no talk about legislation. The
Senate is Democratic, and can kill any leg
lslation the House and Governor may at
tempt to get through.
The session of the Legislator is limited
to sixty days, and under the law the vot-
ing for Senator cannot begin until two
weeks after the first day of the session.
Up to yesterday it was the opinion OF
many that there would be no election and
Senator Blackburn seat would be vacant
from March 4, 1896 until the Legislature
met again in 1898.
On joint ballot, without unseating any
Democrat, the Legislature now stands
Democrats 6S, republicans 6S, Populists q
The House Republicans intend to unseat
kaufman CD of Lexington and perhaps
Tom pkins CD of Greensboro. The Demo
Gratis, however, claim that there is no evil
dence on which this can be done.
Congressman w. Godfrey Hunter of the
Third District will in all probability re-
celve the Republican nomination for
United States Senator. Congressman
Walter Evans and Augustus E. Wilson,
both of this city, are prominent candi-
dates, but Hunter has all the Louisville
Republican votes, so it can be plainly seen
that Evans and Wilson are out of it.
The Democrats have Senator Joe Black
burn, Congressman James 3. McCreary
and A. S. Berry. Blackburn claims that
he is not only going to get the nomina-
ton, but is going to be elected. He GER
tainly will have the most votes IN tn e
caucus, but whether or not all the sound
money Democrats will go into it is ques-
ton. If they do it is argued the two
POpulists must come over to him.
