BAKERSFIELD FIELD TRIALS.
The M Age Stakes Proved to Be the
Most Productive of Good
Sport.

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Jan. 22.-The
third day of the field trials proved the
best OF all. The weather was all that
could be desired, and the attendance was
good. The drawings for the all-age stakes
resulted as follows: Memo II and Rods
Chaff, Betsy Mark and Silver Plate, Nim-
rod and Josephine, Glenbeigh Jr. and
Orion.
An early start was made by the sports
men, and the McClung ranch, the scene of
the trials was reached at an early hour.
The first brace. Memo II and Rods
c haff, were put down at :45 and taken up
at 1913, the latter doing the best work.
Silver Plate and Betsy Mark were put
down at lo:40 and taken up at IL :43.
These dogs were very evenly matched.
Josephine and Nimrod were put down at
II Al. There were plenty of birds, and
NimFod did the best work. They were
taken up at 1918.
Lunch was then taken and the party
moved three miles northwest, and Orion
and Glenbeigh Jr. were put down at / $50.

A WOODLAND DECISION.
Judge Grant Hands Down an
Opinion of Great
Importance.
He Thinks the Reclamation Districts
are Unjust and So
Says.

WOODLAND, CAL, Jan. 22.-Judge
Grant of the Superior Court OF Y olo County
to-day rendered decision in favor of
the plaintiffs in the case of
Swamp Land District 537 VS.. Caroline
Berger, an action for the foreclosure of &
lem upon certain property, an assessment
upon which for reclamation purposes has
not been paid.
The decision itself, being consonant with
the frequently iterated opinion of the State
Supreme Court in analogous cases, is
worthy OF attention. 1t was as follows:
"With the policy of reclamation legisla-
tiou l have nothing to do. AS an indi-
vidual l have always held the opinion
that each landowner should be en-
titled TO go into or stay out of
a reclamation district at his own pleasure.
and that the legislation which auth
orized majority to impose upon
the minority burdens which they re-
sent and which they do not desire to
assume, which burdens in certain instances
amount to copfscation of their entire
property, was unjust. and impolitic. 1
think so still; and if the question were an
open one and were submitted to me in the
capacity Of Legislator no such legislation
would be enacted.
II, however, have to deal with the law
as [ find it., and under a long line
of decisions OF the highest courts of
the State, the holders of title or evil
dence, of title, representing one half
or more OF any body of swamp and over
| flowed land are authorized TO form a
reclamation district and to impose the
burdens above mentioned upon the mi.
nority of landowners in the districts"

Dillon, neighboring farmer, in JUS
tice Chatwell's court at noon to-day. He
intended to kill Joseph Baker, another
farmer, but Dillon got in the way just as
Core shot.
Tie men had had trouble over piece of
land and Core had been arrested for threat
ening to kill Baker. He was brought to
jail here last night. The officers neglected
to search him, and when he was brought
into court he pulled the revolver he car
ried and fired toward Baker ana killed
Dillon. The Coroners inquest was held
later and held Core to the Grand Jury for
murder and he was taken to jail.
Core is married man and says he was
driven to the deed, but intended to kill
Baker, not Dillon. Dillon, who was killed,
was bachelor, 60 years of age.

CHICAGO'S BIG OFFICER,
]. ]. Badenoch, the Chief of the
Police, Is Here on
Visit.
He Was Appointed by Mayor Swift in
Violation of PrecedentS of
Twenty Years.

]. j. Badenoch, General Superintendent
of Police of Chicago. one of the most
notable men who has attained success IN
recent politics, is at the Palace.
Mr.. Badenoch is here on a flying trip.
Last night, by a special order of Captain
Lees, Detective Gibson conducted him and
Mrs. Badenoch, who is with MIN, through
Chinatown.
The Chicago functionary is big in more
ways than one. He is a giant physically
and wears gigantic mustache and inn
perial OF raven blackness. He is of Scotch
birth and but As wears old. HIS rise in
Chicago has been steady
When appointed to the Office Of General
Superintendent of Police he was memo Der
OF the Election Commission. Mayor Swift,
himself just elected TO office, selected him
though there were scores OF men who
claimed they were far better qualified.
1t had long been a custom in the Lake
City for the Superintendent of Police 10
be chosen from the police force or from
among men who have been wardens of one
or the other of the penitentiaries, or had at
least some experience with criminals. This
had been the unwritten law for twenty
years.
Mayor Swift, however, violated the Gus
tom and appointed Mr.. Badenoeh. 1t was
the first instance for a quarter of a CEN
tury that the rule had been broken, and a
cry went up that could be heard all over
the city, The machine managers were
hugely displeased. for in the machine were
many disappointed men.
Mr. Badenoch resigned from the EIec-
ton Commission in April last to take the
new position. He was here short time
before. Mr.. BadeGoch is said to be wealthy.

The California Jockey Club has resolved TO
follow the example set by the Pacific
Coast Jockey Club and will not furnish the
poolrooms with any information.
Ca dnus ran something like the Cadmus
OF old in his race yesterday. The dspara-
gers of the brown horse may yet have a
chance to see that his great race in the
$4,000 Spreckels handicap, when he fin
ished second to Lissak, was not a fluke.
According to actual count 1856 ladies
passed through the turnstiles at Ingleside
yesterday.
Both of the gentlemen officiating in the
Judges stand at Ingleside, Captain James
II. Rees and Joseph a. Murphy, are on
the license committee of the Western Turf
Congress, and yesterday they decided 70
revoke the license of Jockey Mike Hen
messy. This will prevent him from riding
IN future races at the new track.
Frank Coady was presented with $20C
for winning with Pat Murphy. The
youngster is now riding in better form
than he showed before meeting with his
serious accident at the Bay District track
last winter.
The win of Cadmus proved rather ex-
pensive one for his owner, a. Is. Spreck-
els, president of the new Jockey Club.
Entered TO be sold for $500 he was bid up
to $500, by Frank Taylor in whose name

was retained for his owner by the usual So

doubtful whether Bergen has peer unless
it be Willie Sims.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 22.-The
House to-day had under consideration the
resolution to provide an assistant architect
to the present supervising architect of the
treasury for the purpose of fastening the
completion OF the United States building
at Chicago. During the debate on the
resolution Loud of California said he did
not see why Chicago should be made an
exception in this case, as there were be-
tween forty and seventy-hye other build
ings in the United States, including the
one at San Francisco, provided for in the
appropriation bills, whose foundations had
not as yet been started.

Chicago and she will help you,' said he.
California has helped her many times,
but she has not as yet reciprocated."

SAN JOSE, CAL, Jan. 22.-Menzo Clin-
ton, the contractor who absconded two
months ago with several thousand dollars
belonging to sub-contractors for work on
the Jacks building on North Market street,
reached San Francisco this morning on
the steamer WalIa Walla from British
Columbia.
Robert Summers of this city came down
on the same boat, and he saw and recog-
nized Clinton. When the latter saw Sum
mers he at once hid himself in his state
room, and was not seen again during the
trip.
Summers came direct to San Jose and
reported seeing Clinton speak to Mr..
Cherrie, who was one of CIinton's bonds
men.
Mr.. Cherrie at once swore to a complaint
charging Clinton with felonious embezzle-
ment. Chief Kidward and Sheriff Lyndon
are both in San Francisco looking for
Clinton.
1t is supposed that Clinton had about
$4,000 with him when he left. He had the
contract to build the Jacks building on
North Market street for $500
A few days before he left he received a
payment of $2500 on the work, and should
have turned it over tc sub-contractors. He
left his wife and children in this city.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 22.-Sen-
ator Perkins will try to secure the passage
of laws regulating the liquor traffic in
Alaska, and prevent the smuggling of
liquor into that Territory. He will intro
duce a resolution in the Senate calling
upon the Secretary of the Interior to fur
nish statement showing to Congress the
extent to which laws are being violated,
and resolutions therefor, and to suggest
such legislation as may be calculated to
remedy the evils. Perkins believes Secre-
tary Smith may recommend a high IL
cense.
The report of Governor Sheakley of
Alaska Is before the Secretary. Calling
attention to the extent to which intoxi-
eating liquors are imported, manufactured
and sold in the Territory, he says there are
laws prohibiting traffic i'll liquor, but it is
notorious that they are disobeyed and
eYaded, and that smuggling and Illicit
trade are carried on along the coast.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 22.-The re-
suits of the rifle and revolver firing of
United States troops during the year 1895
have been announced by the War Depart
ment.
The men of the Department of the Co.
lumbia made the best percentage, securing
48.4 for distances up to 600 yards and also
leading with 70.1 per cent at 800 yards.
The average for the entire army up to 600
yards is Ais. In the rife firing of the in
fantry regiments the Fourteenth Regiment
led with 59.4 per cent. The lowest regi-
mental record was All, In the revolver
firing by the cavalry the Fifth Regiment
led with 1858 mounted and S0.41 dis
mounted, closely followed by the Seventh,
with 77.05 mounted and 1884 dismounted.
It was noticeable that in revolver prac-
tice the two cavalry regiments were at the
end of the list in mounted revolver prac-
tice, and last and second from last IN dis
mounted practice, while in the rihe-fring
one of two colored infantry regiments was
ninth and the other sixteenth out of
twenty-five regiments competing.

predoninated. Even after two races had
been decided people were still flocking in
through the gates. Not a few fond
mothers took their babies along, probably
that the spirit of sport might be imbued
IN them, and when they grew up they too
might become Riley Grannans and Pitts
burg Phils. There was slight delay in
getting home, one of the electric cars fail
ing to safely navigate a curve, but as five
out OF six favorites had poked their noses
past the wire in front the occupants of the
crowded cars were in good humor and
there was no grumhling consequent upon
the delay.
The racing was good and the betting of
the llyellest sort. The men on the block
for the field books were hoarse calling bets

The feature of the card was the two-mile
event, and when the odds-on favorite,
Cadmus, won fighting for his head it was
the unanimous opinion that the game son

stances could come dangerously near
lowering the California record for the dis
tance OF $3.50. Opposed to him were very

looking the most likely.

of dollars found their way in on y y,
cutting his odds from 40 to 20 to l.. Two
races were disposed of before the horses
for the long journey were called. Marty
Bergen had the mount on the favorlte and
was in his element. He waited on Carmel
for mile and three-eighths and then
forged to the front. At the mile and a hall
he was a length in front, and gradually IN
creasing this lead won with his horses
head in his lap, six lengths before Carmel,
who ran very creditable race. Juha .
was tired third, close up. The winners s
time was :431z, which, taking into consid-
Grafton the heavy track and the ease with
which he won, was fine performance.
Jockey Frank Coady got the favorite Pat
Murphy home first III the opening race,
five and half furlong dash, in very
pretty finish. The start was a ragged one,
and after turning into the stretch fourth
to Shield bearer, who had been making a Ii

down his lead and won by a head in q
hard drive. Mainstay, who was virtually
left at the post made great run, finishing
a fair third.
Eleven three-year-olds that have failed
to run placed since November %, 1895,
next started in five and a half furlong
dash. Clara Wilson was a warm to
choice and disposed of her field without
ever being extended, winning pulled up
three lengths before Mr.. Reel. Little
Jimmie finished in the show.
Old Strathmeath struck soft spot in
the mile selling event He went to the
post 1 to 2 choice over his field, and after
Dungarven and Wyoming had headed him
to the far turn he took the lead and won
galloping from Dungarven. Wyoming,
who was heavily backed second choice,
was poor third.
Liberal scratching reduced the field in
the fifth race, six-furlong spin, to nine
starters. Alvarado opened favorite in the
betting, but receded to to 1. Although
heavily weighted, the bulk of the coin was
played in on George Miller, and he closed
a 2 to 1 favorite. Handsome was ex-
tensively backed, his price coming down
from to to 1. Pique also commanded
a strong following.
Handsome and Myron alternated in the
lead the first part of the journey, when
Alvarado shot to the front and was never

DES MONIES, Iowa, Jan. 25.-The Su-
preme Court to-day determined the case
between the two factions of the A. o. u.
w. of this State. A number of years ago
a faction of the order seeded and took the
name, incorporating under the State laws.
The other faction had never incorporated.
Several years later the seceders brought
suit to join the old faction from using
the name. In the Dubuque District Court
the injunction was granted and the case
was appealed by the loyal faction.
The decision to-day holds that the seced-
ing faction has no exclusive right to the
name, and is decisive victory for the
loyal lodges.
