SEHORN MURDER CASE.
Arguments Tlade Yesterday on the
Defendants Appeal.

The appeal of w. A. Sehorn of Glenn
County from the commitment charging
him with murder was argued before the
Supreme Court yesterday H. NJ AL
berry appearing for the appellant and
Assistant Attorney-G General c. n Post
for the People.
1t appears that the Justice of the
Peace who issued the warrant of ar
rest had called Justice from another
township to hear the examination, and
the attorney for Sehorn contended that
TINS was wrong, no reason being as
signed therefor; also that no commit
ment was delivered to the Sheriff before
the information was filed; also that the
Justice who heard the case was not
legally empowered to do so, owing to
his township boundaries having been
so changed as to leave him a non-resi-
dent
IheSe points We're met by Mr. Post
VINO argued that the resident Justice
rad a right to call in another to eX-
anime the case, and that the law did
not require him to assign his reasons
for so doing. The law had been com
piled with, he contended if it could be
shown what portion of the docket had
been kept by the visiting Justice
After some further argument on other
points the matter was submitted

BUDD RETALIATES.
The Governor Removes Sperry From
His Military Staff.

Governor Budd yesterday relieved
Colonel George 3. Sperry of Stockton
of the duties Of Inspector General of
Rifle Practice on his staff and appointed
Park Henshaw of Chico to that posi-
tIon.
Shortly before the election Governor
Budd charged in a speech delivered by
him in San Francisco that men en-
ployed by corporations and firms were
being coerced into supporting Mckinley
for President, and also into turning out
in the big Republican parade that was
to take place in San Francisco
This charge Sperry, as the head Of a
large corporation, resented as a per-
sonal attack, and he wrote a very caus-
tic letter to Governor Budd in reply to
the 1atter's charge, at the same time
rendering his resignation as a member
Of the Executives staff and also as one
Of the Yosemite Commissioners.
Governor Budd, instead of accepting
Sperry's resignation, declared the staff
position vacant on the ground that
Sperry'S conduct was unbecoming an
officer. He then appointed Henshaw.

ley. This, if kept well sprinkled, will
render the roads the best in the val
ley. The bureau also recommended
that in the matter of replacing bridges,
culverts, etc, the use of stone be ex-
clusively resorted to-
Regarding the protection Of the banks
from erosion, considerable outlay must
be incurred, for throughout the valley
a gradual shifting of the channel of the
Merced River from side to side has
gradually taken place. These changes
We're of minor Importance prior to the
construction of costly buildings ana
roads, but with their advent came the
necessity of fixing the channel SO that
property may not be destroyed.
RECOMMENDATIO
The commissioners recommend that
a much larger appropriation of money
be placed at their disposal for the en-
suing two years than was allotted for
the forty seventh and forty eighth fis-
cal years. That meager appropriation
| kept the funds in a cramped condition
and prevented the commissioners from
performing work in the valley deemed
necessary.
| Better roads are required in the val
ley, and a portion of the roads should
be sprinkled during the summer months.
A Schoolhouse is much needed, and
one built of stone would meet with gen.
| eral approval.
Paths for the convenience of pedestri-
ans should be constructed OH the shores
of Mirror Lake and at certain points
along the Merced River
The expenditure of a considerable
| sum of money is required for clearing
the floor of the valley from under
| growth.
Tourists will no doubt demand the
erection of new hotel, or the enlarge
ment of the present one, together with
a number of cottages. These needed
improvements will require a special ap-
preparation by the Legislature, and the
commissioners hope that a committee
Will be appointed to inquire into the

A new WOMAN FROM TEXAS
Gave Officer LOgue a RAGS and Knocked
Out Dr.. Curtis.
She is Young and Pretty, But the
Genial Janitor Says She isa
Holy Terror.

Late last night Captain of Police Ash
and Officers Fisher and Maley arrested
two women on Fourth street, between
K and l., against whom vagrancy
charges will be placed. One of them
was Lottie Goodrich, we'll known local
character, but her companion was a re-
cent arrival from Texas, who answers
to the name of Annie Lewis.
Tne women took their arrest philo-
sophlcally enough until the patrol
wagon drew up before the city bastile,
and then it dawned upon the mind of
the woman from Texas that liberty is
sweet. The dawning of the thought
was the father of vigorous action, and
without a word of adieu she sprang
from the wagon, gathered her skirts
around her waist and darted south
ward on Front street like an arrow
from a bow
Officer John F. Logue, who had both
women in charge, stood for a moment
dumfounded, and then started out on
the sprinting match of his life. On
they went like the wind, over cobbles
and through mud puddles, and when
the officer finally got Texas Annie
Winded and ran her down K street had
been reached.
But the amusement had only Just
commenced, and after being overhauled
the V1rago put up a game fight with
handS, feet and teeth. She would not
be persuaded, and it was not until Ser
geant Plunkett, hatless, coatless and
breathless, arrived on the scene and put

into the station
DR.. J. S. Curtis, the genial janitor of
the City Hall, took charge of the Good
rlch woman when the chase COM
menced and had deposited her tenderly

cyclone from Texas arrived
Madame" he said, stepping forward
and raising his hat, permit me"
but he got no further.
Who in h-ll are you?" roared the
new woman from Texas.
L, madame, am the Tenth Trustee"
suavely replied the worthy doctor, a
broad, genial smile spreading over his
face. Alas! for human nature and
China gin! that smile faded instanter.
You are, eh?'' yelled the woman
from Texas. well, then, you can have
this! and this!" and her right landed
on the doctors jaw, while her left
forced its way some distance into the
folds Of his capacious stomach.
That settled it. The genial and gall
lant janitor went out in the first round.
He gave lurch, swung, and then came
upon his knees with "a dull thud" He
spent the remainder of the evening tell
ing just how it all occurred.
Texas Annie was at length securely
housed for the night. She is 20 years
old ard fair to look upon, but both Off
Ger Logue and Doctor Curtis unite in
saying that appearances are decep-
tive"

THE HORSE MARKET.
Reports That the Demand Is Good In Ne

Reports That the Demand Is Good In New
 York.
 The horse market is undoubtedly in better shape in New York than it has been for a long time, aud though it is yet very earl. for the regular spring trade the demand for good horses is unprecedented. Of course really first class stuff is always salable. and, like gold dollars, will bring it's value at any time, but good, well made geldings of size. substance and soundness are the objects of such keen competition that dealers are wondering what is the mat ter. The majority of breeders and deal CTS who bny stock and shape it up for the New York market have just gont to work on their hoIses, and are conse quently not prepared for the rush.
 Four weeks hence the dealers whU SCOUT the farms for salable stock will be iu with their strings, but ill the meantime th- big sales of ehoicely breC. trotting stock will have occurred anG the cream of the market skinned off. This will be lesson tu the dealers that will not soon be forgotten. and it is safe to prophecy that 1t will be a very cold winter when tLey are again caught with empty stalls. c. F. (Fatty) Bates has just returned to New York from a hurried trip to his Ohio farm, where he went to try to scrape up some good horses for the buy CTS that are looking in vain for an equivalent for their money, and brought few first class ones with him. But tkere is room for many more. In the cheaper division, that of general purpose horses, the same gratifying con ditions prevail At both Fiss, Doerr & Carroll's and at Dahlman's auctions there is a large attendance and keen competition. If a horse is reasonably young, sound, of good size and well broken, he will bring on an average x35 to $50 more than three months ago. This. however, is for exactly what is specified above. Buyers who want a cheap buggy, coupe or delivery wagon gee have learned enough not to buy an adjective horse and spend month find- ing ont that he is worth s. 50 to the cat meat man. Strauss & Hexter have had lot of buyers out securing New York and New England and are receiv- ing consignments of trotting bred horses. -Exchange-
