A CATTLE THIEF.
A Colored Man Seeks to Deny His Iden-
tity on Habeas Corpus.

A day or two ago The Herald printed
the exclusive story of the capture in this
city of a somewhat noted cattle thief
named Moses Roderick, by\Police officer
Sparks. When placed under arrest the
prisoner, who is a sturdy looking COL
ored man, gave his name as Manuel
Ross.
1t appeared that Roderick had, after
committing number of minor offenses
in Calaveras county, and after having
served term in the states prison at
San Quentin, made grand coup by
stealing band of ten head of cattle
from a Mrs. Vale. He drove the cattle
to remote point and sold them to an
Italian for $50 and made off with the
proceeds. That was in July last and
since that time the officers of Calaveras
county have been on the lookout for
Roderick and sent his description
throughout the state.
A few days ago officer Sparks say>a
colored man in conversation with officer
Talamantes. on Buena Vista street, and
identified him by the description at po-
lice headquarters as the cattle thief who
was wanted up north. His arrest fol-
lowed as detailed in The Herald at the
time.
Yesterday Roderick tried to escape
the tolls by habeas corpus proceedings.
Attorney Marion J. Brooks appeared
in his behalf and opposed the hapding
over of the defendant to Sheriff Ben K.
Thorn Of Calaveras county, who was
present to receive the prisoner. Assist
ant District Attorney Williams was
present and submitted the warrant,
counter signed by Justice Owen and
Sheriff Thorn went upon the witness
stand and identified Roderick as the
man named in the warrant and whom
he had had in his custody on previous
occasions for other offenses.
Mr.. Brooks wanted the case postpon-
ed until this morning when, he stated,
he would conclusively prove that the
defendants name is not Roderick but
Joe Ross and that he was not in Gala
veras county at the time Of the alleged
cattle stealing.
The papers being in order the only
question that remained was that of iden =
tity and Sheriff Thorn's testimony set
tied that point
The writ was ordered discharged and
the defendant remanded to the custody
of the sheriff. The latter left with his
prisoner last evening for the north.

THE REED PARADE.
The Position Occupied by the Business
Mems Sound Money Club.

The Business Mems Sound Money club
will be in the first division, preceded
only by the Union Veterans, who are
always entitled to the right of the line.
The club will form on the east side of
Los Angeles street, at or near the plaza,
under the direction of Mr.. A. H. Naftz-
ger, who has been appointed marshal.
AS this will be the only opportunity
offered during the campaign for the
business ard professional men to show
their colors, they are earnestly request
ed to be on hand promptly. Many who
should be members of the club have not
yet Joined, but the rolls of membership
will be at the rendezvous to give those
who have not already signed an oppor-
tunity to do so.
The wholesale -nouses will form one
division of the club, the retail houses
another. No further segregation of the
clubs members has been arranged for
so far, but may possibly be perfected
before the column moves.

THE BABY ACT.
Urged by One Who Wants to Eat His
Cake and Still Have It.

The case of Keating VS.. Talamantes
was up in department two before Judge
Clark yesterday. 1t is only recently that
the defendant has attained his majority
and in his green and salad days he
agreed to make transfer of q certain
piece of property at Ballona to Bernar-
dino Machado for the consideration Of
$3.50. The latter acted in good faith, it
is contended, and after obtaining the
property, sold it to the plaintiff.
But Talamantes, upon attaining the
legal age, repudiated the bargain on
the ground that Machado had only paid
$50, and therefore the bargain was void.

THE SUPREME COURT
A Criminal Case Is Appealed From San
Bernardino

The supreme court yesterday handed
down decision in the criminal case of
Thomas Barker, appealed from San Ber-
nardino, affirming the judgment and
order of the lower court.
The appeal was taken on the ground
that there was no evidence tending to
connect the defendant with the crime
Of robbery charged, and that the in
structions as to the degree of corrobora-
tion required were unfair. The court
holds that the evidence was quite suffi-
cient and the instructions objected to
correctly stated the law.

ROBINS PURSUE \ CAT.

About two weeks ago a black and
and white spotted cat belonging to
Harry Hastings robbed a robins nest.
The parent birds witnessed the destruc-
ton of their home, and made a great
ado about it, but the cat was obdurate,
and proceeded quietly to feast upon the
birdlings.
But since that time that cats life has
been burden. She cannot show her
self in the open air without being saw
agely attacked by half a dozen robins
that seem to be watching for her. They
chirp loudly, ruffie up their feathers,
and fly at the cat with vicious fury. At
first the cat attempted to defend her
self, but her enemies were too active.
They could give her a savage peck and
be out of the way before she could
spring or strike with her paw. Now
she goes around like one who has
nothing to live for. If she ventures
out for a moment and hears the savage
chirp of a robin she will make a dive
for her favorite hiding place under the
barn. Other cats are not molested by
the robins, but they seem to have made
up their minds to have revenge on this
one, and it is probable that she will
never modest another robins nest

PUT TO BETTER USE.

Not long ago young bachelor gave
bachelors dinner to eighteen of MS
friends. All the details were of the
most lavish description, and to wind
up with the host had prepared a dozen
and half of lamplighters, each made
from a twisted 81 bill These were
placed alongside of each plate in readi-
ness for the passing of the cigars. But
the fates had a better use in store for
these twisted ones. Long before the
cigars were reached the guests had
toyed with small bottles until they
couldn't tell lampIighter from a cork
screw. Then it was the turn of the
willy walters. Skillfully removing the
precious lighters, they substituted
matches at every plate, and had the
satisfaction of seeing the cigars go
round without anybody missing the
bills.-Hotel Mail.

Scraps.

The advice is to SOW crimson clover
in the fall as early as practicable.
Many a worthless bog if drained and
cultivated a few seasons until in fine
condition will make the very best grass
land.
The absolute necessity of facing
drouths and dry spells is evident. We
can no longer speak of irrigation as
a western topic.
In the eastern states, with spraying,
both Fameuse and Talman sweet ap-
pies do well, and are fairly profitable
Unless put in cold storage, however,
the Fameuse disappears in December.
In bulletin of the Vermont station
it is stated that tuberculin is capable
of producing tuberculosis in healthy
cattle. This agrees with the results
of the researches of Professor Virchow
on the same subject
Farmers should cease to use young
and immature cattle for breeding pur-
poses It may happen that selected
young animals will give good results,
but the continued use of such is sure to
prove disastrous in the end. Expert
ments made with full-grown adults and
immature ones have demonstrated that
the adults produce harder offspring
than the young parents
There was a time when it was con-
sidered impossible to do without fences.
At the present day there are whole
counties in some states where no fences
can be seen, and there are consequent
" fewer lawsuits over the depreda-
lions of stock than before. Fences are
expensive luxuries in some sections,
and have been more serviceable to
neighbors than to owners.

NOT so MONOTONOUS.

Your life must be very monotonous,"
said Gus de Smith, looking in the win
dow of the Austin postofice at the
clerk stamping letters.
What makes you think SOP"
1T would drive me crazy to be ever
lastingly pounding letters with hand
stamp. It's the same thing over and
over every day"
"Oh, 10, it's not" replied the clerk.
Yesterday l was stamping 81 on the
letters, today it's %, and tomorrow I'll
be stamping the 10Th of the month; so
you see it's not so monotonous after
all."-Texas Sitter.

White Specks in Butter.

E. c. Bennett, of Epitomist, says:
The white specks in butter are due to
poor ripening of the cream. Some of
the cream has "wheyed off" and decom
posed, and the casein has gathered in
clots and the whey has separated from
the cream. These clots of curd will
not churn out. They remain in the
butter as clots, and always look white.
Artificial coloring has no effect upon
them, and winter or summer they spoil
the looks of the butter. Greater care
in ripening the cream is called for, but
even in creameries there are times
when these colorless clots form, and
the sure way to do is to strain the
cream into the churn. Then the
do not get into the churn. Then the
clots do not get into the churn and are
not found in the butter.

PainIessness of Dehorning.

Before the COW became Gomesticated
and she ran with wild animals, there
was some use for the horns as means
of defense for herself and young. But
today they have no possible use; on the
contrary, they do much harm. Then
why not take them off? The faint
hearted objector will say it is a cruel
operation. 1 do not pretend to say it
does not hurt, but do say it does not
hurt more than it does person to have

Chapter Y.

1t was midnight when the two men
passed out into the street. Massinger
paused to light cigar, and as he
struck the match he glanced curiously
into the others face.
'WeIl?" he said, simply.
Lord Marlborough laughed a hysteri-
cal little laugh, and passed his arm
through his companions. He was la
boring under a curious excitement. His
eyes were bright and there was a spot
of red color on his pale cheeks.

own. Until tonight you have never Of

are we not going out of our way?"
They stopped short on the pavement
and looked around them The street
in which they were was silent one
and almost deserted. From behind
there came to them the dull muff1ed
roar of a great thoroughfare, blocked
with streams of carriages and the rest

Potato disease.-This subject of pota-
to disease prevention or cure is so sea-
sonable just now that it IS we'll
worth while to call attention to the
best method OF preparing the Bordeaux
mixture. In many cases the remedy
has proved a failure because the ma
terials of which it was composed were
lot good. Sometimes the sulphate of
copper has been impure, and soma
times the lime has been bad. The po-
tato-gr0wer should take care to get
blue vitriol, and to have freshly burnt
Quick-lime. Then, it is important 10
be careful in diSsClVing and mixing the
ingredients, and in this respect the
plan adopted by the Royal Agricultural
society may be recommended for imi-
tation. The sulphate of copper was put
in a bag, which was susI ended in cold
water. contained in wooden vessel,
all night was com pletely dissolved. The
lime was slowly slaked with wafer,
and, when cool, was poured into the
bluestone solution through a sieve, to
keep out any Jumps or stones in it, and
the liquid Was well stirred while the
lime was being added. The solution,
after mixture, should be blue in color.
If it is blackish, it is a sign that the
bluestone has been aGulterated with
sulphate of iron. In the English OK
periments 20 pounds Of sulphate Of
copper, 10 pounds of lime, aid 100 gal
Ions of water were the ingredients; but
the mixture which has given the best
results in France and Belgium is one
of 20 pounds of sulphate of copper, 20
pounds of lime, and 20 pounds of mo-
lasses to 100 gallons of water. The
quantity Of lime should be equal to that
of the sulphate, in order to render the
mixture harmless to vegetation, and
the molasses is found valuable for max
ing the stuff stick to the foliage, in
stead of being washed off by the first
fall ofrain. The quantity of the mix
ture necessary varies with the density
of the foliage-from 60 to lis gallons to
the acre. 1t is usually applied with
knap5ack distributor. These direc-
tons will suffice for growers VINO have
not previously made themselves
familiar with the subject, but who III
tend to try the remedy this season.
