kripp Wins His Case Against the
National Fruit Association.

The assignee of Fred Kripp of Wash
ington, Yolo County, brought an action
against the National Fruit Association,
through his attorneys, Isaac Joseph
and ID. r. Alexander, to recover a sum
of money alleged to Re due him on a
contract by which the association
bought Kripp's pear crop.
This was in 1894. and while the fruit
was ripening the great railroad strike
came on, and of course nothing could
be shipped. For this reason the asso-
citation refused to carry out its contract
and the suit was brought to settle who
should stand the cost.
The association, in its answer, ad
mitted the facts as set forth in the
plaintiffs petition, ana set up the facts
relative to the strike as a good and
sufficient reason for not carrying out
its part Of the contract.
| The plaintiff moved to strike out the
| answer on the ground that it was not
| sufficient to justify the defendant in
refusing to carry out the contract, and
Judge Johnson yesterday granted the
motion, thus, in effect, deciding that
| the association must pay.

IT WAS ALMOST A MURDER.
The HendiSh Assault on Bridge Tender
johnson.
Nearly Killed Because He Interfered
to Protect q Lone
Woman.

In yesterdays Record Union" brief
reference was made to the fact that at
an early hour that morning Charles
johnson, night tender of the railroad
bridge over the Sacramento River, was
knocked down and severely beaten by
two unknown men.
1t appears that his skull was frac-
tured, and thirteen contusions literally
cover his head and face.
After the assault Johnson was taken
| to the Railroad Hospital, where, not
withstanding his serious condition, he
gave an account of the dastardly at
| tempt to murder He said that early
in the morning woman who had been
attending a ball in Washington was re-
turning to the city, and while on the
bridge was accosted by three men who,
he believed, from their actions, intended
| to intercept her. Johnson interfered
and ordered the men away. They COM
| piled, and the woman passed on in
safety.
| Johnson then went into the motor
| house at the center of the bridge, and
| had been there only short time when
| two of the men returned and called to
him to come out This he did, and as
soon as he got outside the door he was
struck on the head with club about
! four feet long and rendered insensible.
| After this he had but a dim recollec-
tion of one of his assailants contending
that he should be thrown into the river.
This was not done, however, though
Johnson does not know why.
| The motor-house looked like a
slaughter pen when visited in the morn
| ing, and the bridge floor before it was
smeared with blood. The lever was
also smeared showing that the victim s
head must have been battered against
| it.
! The two men were seen leavig the vi
cinity of'the attempted murder by New
ton Kripp, a dairyman, who was cross
ing the bridge as the men were going
| away.
Johnson crawled to his residence in
Washington after he had somewhat re-
covered, and there told the story of the
assault, though he was unable to give
a very clear description of his assail-
anats. One, he said, was taller than the
other, and wore a light overcoat.
The physicians at the Railroad Hos
pital say his injuries are of very Sc
rious nature. The railroad detectives
and local police force are doing all in
their power to locate the assailants OF
the wounded man.
| There was story abroad last night
that Johnson was not assaulted in the
manner stated, but that the affair was
| the outcome of domestic difficulties
His own statement, however, seems to
be the more plausible.
