BACK TO THE COOLER.
w. L. Stevens in Vain Invoked the
Habeas Corpus.

There has lately been an epidemic of
habeas corpus writs in Judge Harts
court, but as rule the petitioners have
not succeeded in getting out of jail.
Such was the result in the case of
w. L. Stevens, who rode into court yes
terday on the habeas corpus hobby. in
sisting that he be discharged because
there did not exist a probable cause
for his detention. He was sent back to
Jail to await trial for having caused
the arrest of Ed. Laederich without
provocation.
Stevens is the creature who forced
himself upon the Laederich household
at Highland Park and enjoyed all the
luxuries of a home while the man of
the house hustled for work to support
his wife, child and their ''star boarder' -
| One day recently Laederich. tired of
feeding the fellow, in whom he felt no
| interest, and because he ordered Stew
ems to leave and dig for himself, the
latter had Laederich arrested for dis
turbing the peace of himself (Stevens)
and Mrs. Laederich.
When Laederich explained the situa-
tion to Justice Henry he was, of course,
discharged. and Deputy Sheriff Max
Fisher, who had inquired into the pc
culiar condition of affairs at the Laede-
rich household, swore to a complaint
against Stevens for the false imprison-
ment of the man in whose home he had
been given shelter and sustenance.
1t was soon evident where the chief
trouble lay, for when Stevens was COM
mitted to Jail to await his trial Mrs.
Laederich evinced deep interest in his
welfare. She sent him special food
supplies and showed him every possible
attention.
In 6ismissing the writ Judge Hart
took occasion to express himself very
pointedly in regard to Stevens con-
duct, and said he believed that when
Stevens had Laederich arrested for dis
turbinS the peace it was for the pur-
pose Of getting him out of the way.

residence. He declared that he who
opposes this Improvement is really cow
ardly, because he fears that which
should fright no man.
Mr.. Thomas in graceful, cordial re-
marks responded for the club and
moved it as the sense of the meeting
that it indorsed the model road prop
osftion, would work for it as the initial
step of a great good road system for
the whole county. This was adopt
ed unanimously and with enthusiasm.
Then followed more speech making by
Mr.. Rutherford, Trustee-elect Paine,
Mr.. Luhrs, Mr.. Ashe and Mr.. Price and
others, and it was finally arranged that
10000 card copies CT the figures of Mr..
Price should be at once printed for
distribution.
The meeting was still in session as the
cord-Union' reporter retired but it
was club routine business that fol-
lowed. 1t was all in all one of the
most earnest, enthusiastic ward meet
ings ever held in the city.

Hubbard, Frank Miller, r. l. Bentley,
A. A. Van Voorhies and I. l.. En-
wright We're present at yesterdays s
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce,
President Steffens presiding.
After the transaction of some routine
business the matter of the Folsom ma
cadam highway was taken up, and a
report made by Frank Miller, Chairman
of the special committee having charge
thereof
Mr.. Miller reported that his COM
mittee, acting with a committee of the
Wheelmen's Club, had been active in
the work and from the interest mani
tested by many of the citizens the pros
poets for the adoption of the PROPOSE
ton at the special election on Decem-
Der 4th were most encoura ging. The
committee was instructed to continue
its work and the following resolution
was unanimously adopted
Whereas, The proposition of con-
structing model highway between this
city and Folsom is of great Importance
to this county and will strengthen the
movement throughout the State, and
Whereas, The State offers material
aid to construct said model highway
and proposes to care for it after it's
construction, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Sacramento
Chamber of Commerce cheerfully in
dorses the proposition and urges the
citizens of both the city and county to
give the same substantial support and
aid
In regard to the beet sugar factory
proposition made by the Oxnards, D. A
Lindley explained at some lentgh what
had been done by the committee hav-
ing charge of that matter, and stated
that in few days they would be pre-
pared to make a final report covering
all that had been done
1t Was the sense of the Directors pres
ent that the committee should continue
its labors on the lines thus far followed
as the results obtained can be utilized
in some other quarter if the Oxnard
proposition should fall through.

THE STATESMAN CASE.
Husband and Wife Given a Chanc
to Provide for Their Children.

Justice Henry has suspended judg-
ment for one week in the case of Mrs.
Charles Startsman, charged with hav-
ing abandoned her children.
If in the meantime both husband and
wife manifest a disposition to do some
thing for the proper maintenance Of
their four little children, it is likely
the charge will be dismissed.
The evidence taken on Wednesday
shows that both have been more OF
less to blame for the present unhappy
condition of themselves and their chill
dren, and Justice Henry hopes that they
will come to some understanding that
will result in the children being prop
erly cared for.

Guilds it's own nest with materials
which it gathers from all sides, and
these are exactly what the gardener
uses in the month of March to make
MS forcing beds-namely, leaves and
