scene of his earthly labors Hon. George
Ohleyer, member of this committee.
and it is fitting that in our minutes
should be preserved a tribute to his
worth.
Resolved, That we, in common with
all the people of the Sacramento Valley,
deeply deplore his death. We shall
miss In our councils his calm judgment
and in our work his vigorous efforts.
He was a man whose honesty and fidel-
ity of purpose no one ever questioned,
who was devotedly attached to the in
terests Of the Sacramento Valley, who
possessed a knowledge of the many
intricate questions connected with the
suppression of injurious hydraulic min
ing, shared by few, and who freely gave
all his strength of mind and energy Of
purpose for the protection Of those
among whom his lot was cast. In every
walk of life, in every position to which
his fellow citizens called him, he was
honest, faithful, true, and he leaves be-
hind him an honored memory that those
who were his comrades will ever cher
ish.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread in full upon our minutes and a
copy suitably engrossed be sent to the
family of the deceased

THE BOOKBINDERS.
They, Too, Condemn the Action of
the Printers at Fresno.

The following resolutions have been
adopted by the Bookbinders Union Of
this city:
Whereas. State Typographical Union,
No. 6, at its annual convention held in
Fresno on the 18th and 18th insts.,
passed resolutions condemnatory of the
management Of the State Printing Of
flee and casting reflections on the en-
ployes of said institution; and
Whereas, We believe such attacks on
the management of the State Printing
Office to have been wanton and mali
cious, and prompted by the revengeful
motions of disgruntled individuals who
have either been discharged from the
State Printing Office or have been un-
able to obtain situations therein; and
Whereas, We deem the unmanly as
sault on the character of the employees
of the State Printing Office unjust and
cowardly and calculated to prejudice
the minds of the public against men who
are competent mechanics and who have
merited better treatment at the hands
of those who attack them; therefore
be it
Resolved. That Sacramento Book
binders Union, No. 35, in meeting as
sembled, denounce the State Typo
graphical Union, No. 6, for viciously as
sailing the management Of the State
Printing Office without regard to truth
and for its disparaging reflections on
it's coworkers in the cause of unionism;
be 1t further
Resolved, That a copy Of these reso-
lutions be sent to Governor James H.

OTTO's BIG GUN.
He Used 1t Vigorously on Two Police
Officers.

William Otto is in the tolls. He ap-
peared in the Police Court yesterday
with a headgear which was the patient
work of an hour of the City Surgeons s
skill.
He answered to two charges, one of
malicious mischief and the other for as
saulting an officer with a deadly wea-
pom. Bail was fixed at 500 in the for
mer case and $500 In the latter, which
he gave and was liberated.
Otto is well known in the city as a
shooting gallery proprietor. At one
time he kept a place on K street, be-
tween Fifth and Sixth.
Since that time the police have had
no further business with him until a
message was received at a. m. yester-
day from lower l. street, stating that
Otto was on the warpath and destroying
barricade protecting a recently-laid
cement walk.
Captain Ash and Officer Douglas
found him amusing himself by kicking
barrels into the soft cement. Ash, who
is powerful man, says he approached
Otto with the intention only of compell-
ing him to replace the barrels, but Otto
became enraged and struck at the Off
ICl, WIN Ill II SClLcQ iilIil anu Ct-
tempted to place him under arrest. An
encounter followed, in which Otto drew
huge 44-caliber pistol and, using it as
club, did some effective work.
Officer Douglas, who came to the as
sistance of Ash, received a severe cut
over the eye, and Ash carries a number
of bruises and owns a demoralized
hat, a broken watch-chain and a much
soiled uniform. The man was only sub
dued after q severe drubbing.
Otto was at one time a gunner on the
revenue cutter Bear, and when he left
the Government service he was given an
excellent recommendation.
He said last night that when the off,
GERS grabbed him they did not announce
themselves as policemen, and he did not
know who had assailed him until he
saw a star on one of them. Then, he
says, he gave up his weapon.

THAT Elk GROVE FIREBUG.
he Was Caught in Farmer CraddOck'S S
Barn Yesterday.
His Name is OReilly. and He Admits
BE Set Fire to Charles
Dicks0n's Barn.

In the Record Union" of Monday
was published an account Of the burning
of a large barn on the ranch Of Charles
Dickson, near Elk Grove, on the pre-
ceding night, and with it two horses,
some harness, vehicles and fifty tons OF
hay. 1t was stated at the time that the
fire was the work of an incendiary.
On Tuesday morning George Dickson,
son of the owner of the property, came
to the city and left with Sheriff John
son a description of one James B.
O'Reilly, whom the family suspected Of
suddenly disappeared they thought pos
sibly he might have came to town.
Mr.. Dickson then told a Record
Union" reporter that the reason the
family had to suspect O'Reilly was that
he had been discharged after having
worked on the farm for some time, and
as they had knowledge of his animosity
toward a member Of the family, on
another ranch in the neighborhood, they
feared he would also set fire to the
buildings there. They were on the look
out for him, and were desirous that he
should not know he was suspected, as
otherwise he might.
Just before the fire broke out in the
barn, said Mr.. Dickson, his sisters S
daughter, Clara Schwekendeik, who was
visiting the family, insisted that some
one had suddenly passed through rear
room of the house and disappeared.
After the fire they found a hat back of
the house which was recognized as be-
longing to O'Reilly, and this served to
convince them that it was he who had
set the fire, as he had been hanging
about the place since his discharge.
Mr.. Dickson's suspicious proved cor
rect, and yesterday he and Robert Grad
dock, a neighbor who lives near by,
came to town with O'Reilly and turned
him over to Sheriff Johnson. They
found fresh tracks about the Craddock
place about o'clock in the morning and
followed them to the barn, where they
discovered O'Reilly hiding in the hay
and pulled him out.
He was a sorry-looking object, and his
declaration that he had eaten nothing
since Sunday was doubtless true.
The culprit confessed to his captors
that 1t was he who had set fire to the
barn, and said he did it because he had
been discharged from Dickson's employ.
In the Jail the fellow told wild yarn
about having burned the barn because it
was the property of one Of the Misses
Dickson, who had spurned his addresses.
After he was taken into the jail Au-
gust Schwekendeik, son-in-law of
Charles Dickson, tried to get O'Reilly to
tell him about the affair. The latter is
very deaf, and Schwekendeik had to
shout in his ear. O'Reilly hung his head
down IN a S11l1en manner and Schwek-
endeik becoming impatient placed his
hand on the prisoners forehead and
showed his head back with considerable
force.
This performance gave rise to story
that the prisoner had been f1ercely as
saulted and beaten in the jail.

WORDEN'S FRIENDS.
Chris Evans and Two Other Convicts
Said to be in Trouble.

A San Francisco paper yesterday pub
lished a statement TO the effect that
Chris Evans, Charles r. Bachman and
one Murphy, convicts in the Folsom
Prison, have had their credits cut off
for breaking the rules Of the prison.
The information furnished the pa
per referred TO is that Bachman
Evans and Murphy conspired to in
form train-wrecker and murderer Wor-
den of the action of the Supreme Court
in affirming the judgment Of the Yolo
Superior Court, which condemned him
to death, by addressing him a letter
The letter. however, did not reach Wor-
den.
This missive urged him to keep up a
strong heart; that every effort was be-
ing made to save his neck from the hall
ter, and that IL the worst should come
he would be afforded a means to commit
suicide and thus cheat the gallows.
