PREFERS THE PRISON.
Anthony Williams Wants a Taste
of Penitentiary Life

Anthony Williams, who on Tuesday
pleaded guilty in Judge Hart's court Of
burglary, was TO have been sentenced
yesterday morning, but will have n
little longer to think it over. He is
the 11-year-old boy who was arrested
with ex-convict John Denver for rob-
bing L. n. Billings house.
When the case was called his attor-
ney, W. NJ. Jacks, appeared in court
ready to defend him and learned that
IN his absence he had pleaded guilty.
MIR. jerks sharply criticized the man
ner in which the thing had been done.
insinuating that Williams had been in
timidated and induced to plead guilty
without the knowledge of his attorneys.
Lawyer jerks proceeded at some
length to denource what he termed the
unwarranted action of the County De-
tective, declaring that young Williams
would not have pleaded guilty had he
net been influenced so to do. No jury.
he said, would convict the boy, for it
would be an outrage to send him to the
penitentiary.
Mr. jerks concluded by asking for a
continuance in order that the matter
might be inquired into.
Judge Hart granted the motion, say

Some OF It's Weather Characteris-
tics in the Past.

The following data, covering a pc
riod of twenty years, have been COM
piled from the Weather Bureau records
of Sacramento by James A. Barwick,
Weather Bureau Observer
Temperature-Mean or normal tenn
perature, 81 degrees The warmest
month was that of 1887, with an av-
erage of 66 degrees. The coldest month
was that of 1886, with an average of 81
degrees. The highest temperature was
50 degrees on the Sd, 1885. The lowest
temperature was 80 dergees, on the
4th, 1881. Average date on which first
killing frost occurred in autumn, No
yember 11th. Average date on which
last killing frost occurred in spring,
February 9th.
recipitation-Averag for the month,
0.S6 inches. Average number of days
with .01 of an inch or more, 3. The
greatest monthly precipitation was
6.02 inches in 1889. The least monthly

ing that he would investigate the
charge made by the attorney.
Detective Fisher was asked by a
Record Union" reporter what basis
there was, If any, for Attorney jerks
remarks. He replied that Williams,
being mere boy and evidently led into
the crime by Denver, he Fisher) had
advised him to offer to plead guilty to
petit larceny, if permitted to do 80, in
which event he would be imprisoned for
only a few months in the County Jail.
If he stood trial he might be convicted
and sent to the penitentiary.
Fisher said the boy would not listen
to that, but declared his intention of
pleading guilty to burglary, as he did
not want to stay in the County Jail.
Neither did he want to go to one of
the Industrial Schools. He preferred
a short term in Folsom Prison: and
seemed to be imbued with the idea that
it would be something to be proud of.
District Attorney Ryan also stated
that the boy had expressed a prefer
ence for the penitentiary over the Coun-
ty Jail or an Industrial School, He
did not believe that anyone had in.
f1uenced the lad in pleading guilty TO
burglary.

five orchards in limited numbers. The
owner of one orchard had the trees de-
stroyed by burning them; the others
were subjected to strong spraying,
which reduced them to a small per cent.
In one orchard parasites were found
destroying the scale but their number
was small; yet we have expectation of
receiving a ladybird from Hawaii which
is said TO be a thorough exterminator of
the purple scale.
AS result of the year our fruits
compare fayorably with those of other
years. The early crops-the apricots
and early peaches-were light; the
same may be said of prunes.
The birds have been very trouble
some, destroying a very large proper
ton of apricots. peaches and pears in
some localities. The later fruits, espe-
cially late apples, are in large quanti-
ties and Of excellent quality. The wal
nut crop will be under the average in
quantity but the size and quality of
the nuts will be good.
The output of nursery stock last
spring was very large in the northern
part Of the county, and many trees were
shipped in from other counties to sup
ply the demand.
Some of these were infested, and We're
either destroyed or carefully and thor
oughly disinfected before being planted.
A rigid inspection of all depots was
kept up during the season, that no inn
pOrtations should escape examination.
The lemon crop has been fair in
quantity and quality; but prices have
ruled low on account of the glutted
Eastern market. Yet the growers have
not lost courage, as is evidenced by the
recent plans of the Lemon Growers
Exchange of Santa Barbara to build
another curing house in Carpenteria
Valley for the accommodation Of their
/ large crops.
The crops OF dried fruits in the Santa
Maria and the Carpenteria Valleys have
been very satisfactory. Respectfully

TO-NIGHT'S FIGHT.
The Agnew-Spanjer Match to Be-
gin at OILS O'clock,

The question as to the respective mer-
its of Henry Spanjer and Lon Agnew
as exponents of the manly art of self
defense" physical culture" or what
ever one may choose to term it, will be
determined tonight in the hall of the
Sacramento Athletic Club.
The contest will begin at 9:10 o'clock
and the indications are that those who
are not in the hall by that hour will
have some difficulty in securing choice
seats. 1t is not expected to be simply
an exhibition of fancy sparring, but a
rafting stiff mill in which each will do
his best to conquer the other.
The club has arranged for several
preliminary bouts between its members,
and they will commence at SIS p. m.
They WIFI be between William Johnson
and c. A. Strobel, J. w. Crosby and A.
j. Delano, l.. A. Payen and William
Donahue, and w. J. Gooby and Will
liam Schmitten.
Though scheduled as friendly bouts,
1t is not unlikely some of these couples
will mix things sufficiently to keep the
audience in good humor until the event
of the evening takes place.

Serious Accident Yesterday to a
Child of Tender Years.

A distressing accident happened yes
terday to the little 6year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard K. Johnson of
S16 Q street, but the full extent of the
child's injuries had not been deter
mined last evening.
1t seems that a cesspool wagon was
passing along the street with what
teamsterS call a "back-action" an
other wagon hitched to the first. The
boy started to run across the street
behind the first wagon, and somehow
failed to see the rear one in time to
avoid it. He fell, and one of the broad
wheels passed over his chest and
stomach.
Happily no bones were broken, so far
as could be ascertained, the danger be-
ing from internal injury. There were
strong hopes that the little one would
pull through.
