THE RIGHT TRACK.
A Canadian Farmers Opinion of the
"RecOrd-UniOn.'

Some weeks since a letter written by
r. F. Cunningham of Selkirk, Ontario,
Canada, making inquiry about the eli
mate, resources, etc, of California, was
published in these columns, and the re-
suit has evidently been quite satisfac-
tory to Mr.. Cunningham. Here is what
he writes:
Eds. Record Union: My letter of
inquiry for information concerning
California, printed in your paper re-
Gently, has brought so many replies
that I must congratulate you on your

ence from your State, especially from

LAST YEARS FRUIT.
A. nenke's Suit Against the Florin
CO.Operative Company.

The trial of the case of A. Menke
against the Florin Cooperative Fruit
Company was begun in Judge Johnson's
court yesterday.
Menke sold some fruit to Mendelhall
& DanOon, who claimed to be acting as
agents for the company, but for which
the company declined to pay. 1t is said
that other parties also sold fruit to the
alleged agents of the company, and that
the Menke case is but one of several
that will be brought should the respon-
sibility of Mendelhall & Danoon be es
tablished.
The testimony yesterday went to the
proceedings of the meetings of the di-
rectors OF the company, in the effort
to show that the latter is responsible
for the acts of the so-called agents.
During the morning session Hiram
Johnson, one of the attorneys for the
plaintiff, offered in evidence a letter
signed by Mendelhall & Danoo in proof
of the contention that they were agents
for the company An objection was en-
tered by the defense, and Mr.. Johnson
quoted from Supreme Court decision
in support of his position that the latter
was proper evidence
Judge johnson ruled against him,
however, and the attorney remarked
that the court had Overruled the Su
preme Court
Judge Johnson directed that the at
torneys's words be taken down, and then
imposed fine of $50 for contempt.
Counsel said he had not intended any
contempt by his remark He took an
exception, however, to the courts rul-
ing on the point at issue
The sum involved in the Menke case
is not large, but incidentally there is
several thousand dollars at stake on the
issues involved

ALL IN THE TOLLS.
nercfant Rich Identifies the Property
Found on the BURGLARS.

A number of the knives found on the
two men arrested last Saturday night
by Officers Fisher and Maley were yes
terday identified by c. A. Rich. a mer-
chant of Lodi, who called at the police
station to see if they were the ones
stolen from his store on Friday night

The prisoners, when arrested, gave
the names of Bert Harper and Ed
Clayton, and the officers found upon
them large quantity of cutlery, con-
sisting of knives and razors. One of
them also had a black mask in his
pocket.
There was a third man, who came to
this city with the two that were ar
rested, but who evidently did net think
that it was good place for him, as he
kept on to Auburn and stopped there.
He was arrested by Sheriff Conroy, and
a quantity of cutlery was found on him
which tallies with the description of
that stolen from Mr. Rich. The men
will be taken to Lodi for trial
