When Thorn was brought into court

Gustaf Nelson Arrested Under Sus-
picious Circumstances.

Early yesterday morning, at the
ranch of Mrs. Brockway, on the Free
port road, Special Officer Miller Of this
city arrested Gustaf Nelson, and
brought him to the City Prison. He
was referred to Justice Candy at Oak
Park, and thither transferred his ptis-
Oner.
To the police, Miller said that for
several nights past he had kept watch
at the Brockway residence, where some
maliciouS-minded person had been cut
ting harness and wagon covers, and
stealing dairy pans.
Several nights ago a shot was fired
through window of the house, mar
rowly missing Mrs. Brockway, and she
was led to suspect Gustaf Nelson, who
had been employed by her for some
time, as knowing more than he should
about the mater.
While Miller and another man were
watching Thursday night they saw a
man crawling along a fence towards
the house. They pounced upon him
and found that it was Nelson. the
hired man. He was armed with a shot
gun and revolver.
When questioned by the officers a,
the police station Nelson said that he
was watching for the thieves who had
been committing the depredations, and
that Mrs. Brockway understood all
about it.
Nelson was taken to Oak Park. and
yesterday Justice Candy placed him
under $500 bonds to keep the peace.

pREssMEN's UNION.
It Passes Resolutions Indorsing the
Folsom Road propositiou.


At the regular meeting of the Print
ing Pressmen's Union held ON Thursday
evening, December I'd, resolutions were
adopted indorsing the Folsom road
bond proposition. This was one OF the
best-attended meetings held for sew
eral months. Every member present
signified his intention to vote in favor
of the proposition.
The resolutions are as follows:
Whereas, Sacramento Printing Press
mems Union. No. 60, believe in public
improvements, and in the judicious ex-
penditure of public moneys, believing
that such a course benefits the labor
ing man, without hampering the tax
payer; and,
Whereas, The issuance of bonds for
the building of the Folsom highway ap-
pears to be case meeting our view OF
the situation, apparently guaranteeing
work for the laborer with small ex-
pense to the property holder; therefore,
Resolved, That this union favors the
issuance of said bonds and the building
of said highway, and advises it's mem
bers to vote affiImatively on the propo-
sition and to counsel members of sister
organizations to do likewise.
Resolved, That we are opposed to the
contract system, and believe that, in the
event such highway is constructed, the
work thereon should be done under the
provisions Of State laws governing
State work; that is, by the day of not
over eight hours, with a minimum
| wage of not less than 50 per day.

LoNGwoRrH ACQUITTED.
The Jury Would Not Believe HIS
Statement.

6. NJ Longworth was tried by Po-
lice Court jury yesterday afternoon, Oh
a charge of petty embezzlement, pre-
ferred by Peter S. Bolts, Superintendent
of the Sacramento branch of the IA
cific Mutual Life Insurance Company.
Longworth, up to the 22d Of Novem-
ber was one of the insurance COM
pany's agents in this city, but on that
date was alleged to have failed 10
turn over premiums collected by hlm.
He went to San Francisco, and was ar
rested there a few days ago.
Mrs. Margaret Burns was the first
witness called. She testified that her
mother had on Monday, November
Dist. paid to Longw oTth, who was act
ing as agent for the insurance COM
pany, $14 40 as premium on her policy
She identified the receipt given by the
defendant.
Longworth. who acted as his own
attorney, said he would admit having
collected the money, and had no queS-
tions to ask.
p. S. Bolts the insurance company's S
Superintendent, testified that on Tues
day, November 22d, LongwOrth had
expressed dissatisfaction because the
GolllpdIly lldo NltHIlClu lllS Sd1dly Iva
bills owed to it by him. The witness
asked him to make up his accounts
for the week, but this Longworth re-
fused to do. The next morning, the
witness said, Longworth returned to
| the Office but when asked again to
| make out his accounts, replied that he
| was short and that he knew how much,
and that he would be back in an hour.
Instead of returning he had gone to
San Francisco.
While Longworth was at San Fran
cisco, the witness testified that he re-
ceived a postal card from him to the
effect that he had squared everything
| with the home management.
w. r. Elwood and several other wit
nesses testified that Longworth had
made qualified threats to get the bet
ter of the insurance company.
Longworth took the stand in his own
| behalf, and insisted on reading a copy
of the contract under which he worked
for the company. He said he had, after
his arrest, offered to pay all the money
he owed the company, and said De-
tective Anthony of San Francisco could
SO testify. He further said that he
had, since his return to this city, Of
fered to square up everything with the
| company, but that his offer had been
rejected. He had not paid in all the
| money collected by him, he said, be-
cause the company had not paid his
| salary, and he could not live without
some money. He had gone to San
| Francisco for the purpose of squaring
| things with the home office.
| The jury, however, did not believe
| Longworth guilty of petty embezzle-
ment, and brought in verdict of not
| guilty, and ne was accordingly dis
| charged.

GENERAL PANDO NOT DEAD.
REPORT THAT HE WAS KILLED
IN BATTLE DENIED.
Autonomists Said to be Satisfied
With the Policy Spain Is to
Extend to Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Minister
D1puy De LONE, has received a cable
gram from the Secretary OF
Cuba, stating that the reports OF the
death of General Pando, commander
of Sapnish forces in the field, are false,
that General Pando is in excellent
health, and is striking some decisive
blows against the insurgents.
This disposes of a rumor, which, If 1t
had proved to be true, would have been
of serious consequences to the Spanish
forces, as General Pando is second only
TO General Blanco, and is directing all
military operations, while Blanco re-
mains at Havana inaugurating the new
system which Spain has granted to the
island
Information was received here to-
day from Havana that the organ Of the
autonomist party of the island, REL
Eel Pals had issued a formal circular,
declaring in behalf of Cuban autono-
mists that they were satisfied with the
plan of Cuban autonomy now extended
TO Cuba, a realization of the politely
they had urged from the beginning of
the century. expressing the greatest
hopes in the new regime, and declaring
that with the fulfillment of all the as
pirations of the Cuban people there re-
mains no further reason for continuing
the troops in the field.
The statement closes with a patriotic
appeal to the men in arms to return
TO the peaceful homes of their father
land.
These declarations from the autono-
mists of Cuba are said to be an impor-
1ant feature in the political situation
as the success of the autonomy plan
granted. by Spain is dependent largely
upon Cuban autonomists toward it.
INSURGENTS ELECT OFFICERS.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Consul-
General Lee has informed the State De-
partment that the insurgents of Cuba
elected and installed at Yaza, Porto
Principe, the following officers: Presi-
dent, Bartolo Masso; Vice-Presfdent
Domingo Mendez Capole; Secretary OF
War, Jose b. Aleman; Secretary of the
Treasury, Ernisto Font Stearling; Sec
aetary of Foreign Affairs, Andreas Mo-
reno de La Tore; Secretary of the In
terror, Manuel r. Silva; General-in-
Chief, Maxine Gomez; Lieutenant-Gen-
eral, Garcia.
1t is said at the State Department
of officers to the Department as mat
ter of news gossip at Havana, and il
is by no means official.
