FROZEN OUT.
Leffingwell and His Eastern Tourists
Have Struck Out,

| The body of penniless men that
Stockton so generously dumped into
| sacramento shook the dust of this
city from their feet yesterday after
noon, and. after crossing the bridge.
| pitched camp in the willows a half
mile from the village of Washington, in
Yolo County.
The decisive action of the Chief of
Police and Sheriff Johnson was too
much for the gang. They had expect
ed sympathy. but found none Their
! leader, Leffingwell, was jailed on a
charge of vagrancy within an hour
after setting foot in Sacramento, as
were also three other members of the
gang who claimed to hold positions of
authority.
Monday afternoon a delegation from
! the camp waited on Mayor Hubbard
and Chief of Police Drew and offered to
leave the city provided subsistence and
transportation We're furnished them to
| Ogden They We're informed that they
would be given neither food nor trans
portatien. And the people of the city
paid no attention to them whatever
| Yesterday morning their spokesman
visited Chief Drew and INQUIRED
whether Letfingwell and the other pris-
oners would be released if the gang
would leave the city.
| Chief Drew informed the man that he
could give no promise, but would, if
such step We're taken, lay the matter
before city Attorney Brown, and he
thought the latter might be prevailed
| on to, request the release of the pris-
oners.
!
| In the meantime Trustee Devine had
| promised the crowd $2S worth of pro-
! visions provided they would leave the
| city. r. s. Hart, attorney for Letting
well and his fellow-prisoners. visited
the camp and in half-hour's talk gave
the men some good advice. He told
them the best thing they could do
would be to move on, as Sacramento
would not feed them.
The result of the matter was that at
. o'clock the gang broke camp. marched
up the railroad track to the bridge and
across the river into Yolo County.
Shortly afterward the Police Court
was declared in session, and Letting
well and his compatriots were mar
shaled before it. The facts in. the case
We're presented to Judge Davis by the

the city the cases be indefinitely post

After ascertaining from the men that
they would depart an order was made

distinctly its own It is not a
prodigious sheet in size. but it con-
tains more real, practical information

might be mentioned. For clear cut,
incisive editorial expression it has no
superior in the West, and as for gen
eral news, where is there a journal that
gives more, or as much, and gives it
so fully and satisfactorily in the same

promptness - that's the Record

it is pity our metro
politan sheets do not see the
point and profit thereby. one of the
many good things that the Record

Here is a work of vast Importance, and
one that richly entities the Record

appreciation, it will appropriately rec
ognize the faithful work of this Sacra-

THE AN-LEFFINGHVELL GANG

The Stockton independent is Of the
opinion that Mayor Phelan's action in
aiding the Lefingwell gang OF Weary
Willies to march against the interior is
all but objectionable. We quite agree
with our contemporary The chief mag
istrate of San Francisco is culpable.
though he has explained that he thought
it well for the men to scatter into the
country. II 50, that was not the way to
accomplish it. Sending an organized,
threatening band of fellows out to hold
up interior towns is not scattering them.
Mayor Phelan made no investigation;
he himself says that he took the word
Of the leaders that they would go into
the country to scatter. These seIf-same
leaders deny this statement. by saying
that their purpose was from the outset
to so East and to force the railroad COM
panies to carry them. and the people en-
route to feed and clothe them. This
purpose they have expressed orally and
in writing
Mayor Phelan appears to have made
no sufficient inquiry into the intentions
Of his friends He deliberately put out
his hand with coin TO ship some hun
dreds of san Francisco dependents upon
interior towns. which he well knew did
not need or desire them. and that
could not take care of them without in
justice to their own dependent poor.
Perhaps however. nothing better was to
have been expected from metropolitan
official who has repeatedly declared and
that san Francisco mas no concern in
good road construction in the interior;
that each county should build its own
roads and pay for them unaided. no
matter how sparsely settled. or what its
productive capacity. Nothing better
should have been expected from an Off

the builder as wei as the beneficiary
of certain main-line highway construc-
tons.
The argument was based upon the
same grounds taken by San Francisco
for years. namely, that each county
should support its own free schools
and that san Francisco should not be
required to contribute to the educa-
tional system Of the State. These facts
serve to indicate the opinion entertained
in San Francisco of the relation of the
metropolis to the interior that IS trib-
utary to it and upon the upbuilding and

The act of Mayor Phelan has had its
natural results and they are in part de-
tailed by the Independent" The Ma
yor's friends bulldozed the people of
Stockton out of food and money. They
terrorized the people of little Lodi, and
wrung from them further supplies and
contributions. They stole q railroad
train and declared that they would
compel the railroad company to haul
them East free, or the people to arrest
and Jail them, and thus support them i'll
county prisons. A second time they en-
tered Stockton and successfully levied
tribute upon it.
The crowd reached Sacramento by de-

peace of any community it invades, and
that if there was any law to punish
Mayor Phelan for injustice and folly, it
would be justice to apply its penalties.
We are quite agreed with a San Diego
contemporary who declares that this
banding together under the guise of
looking for work is a fraud, a mere de-
vice to get something for nothing, and
that the community which first stands
off such appeals and threats and leaves
Mayor Phelan's tourists severely alone
