SACRAMENTO, Feb. 20-Yolo stands before the State to-day in most unen- viable light. One of the fairest and richest counties of California presents the spectacle of unrestricted gambling, the practice being possible through of ficiaI corruption, and directly against the wishes of respectable people. To be able to override the decent majority, the gamblers have resorted to brib- cry. One result has been that the law breaking element, driven from Sacra- mento, has but to cross the bridge to Yolo and there unhindered and un- afraid pursue it's nefarious calling. An other result is that the methods by which this disgraceful condition has been brought about have become so fla grant that exposure is a simple duty. By showing how the gamblers de-
 bauched the men who should have
 been a restraint upon them. how they
 have def1ed attempts to dislodge them

ris replied: 'He Is a good fellow and easy to fix" The gentleman was then introduced to the Sheriff who said in reference to the starting of a new pool room in the town of Washington: T am with the boys, and like to play the game myself. You need have no fear of my closing you out"
 The last thing said by MT. Morris to the person making inquiries was: You go right on with your game. There will be nothing done before the first of the month, and if there is I will write to you"
 This conversation occurred in an open barroom, and was distinctly overheard by several persons.
 While MT. Morris may disclaim any connection with the reported black mailing of the gamblers now operating in Washington, there are witnesses to the fact that he came to Sacramento on the 3d day of January, and in the presence of MT. Casselman made a de- mand for $50 month on George Vice. who was then running a poolroom there The same demand was made of George Green, who was interested in the same establishment MT. Feather stone overheard the demand and so did Ezra Casselman. ex-Supervisor of Yolo county. MT. CdSSetTldl IS indignant at the manner in which his name was used by Morris, and does not hesitate to spe- officially deny the allegation and relate additional facts of interest He was questioned at length, questions and re- plies being recorded.

 For years Yolo County has harbored crime, and by her silence seemed to sanction open and notorious violation of the laws of the State and the ordi- nances of her own enactment.

Special Dispatch to The cail.

FL PASO, Texas, Feb. 2o.-In the, presence of 200O spectators at the Plaza de Torres in the City of Juarez, Mexico, this afternoon Romulus, the Italian athlete, pitted his strength against a. ferocious bull in imitation of Ursur, the Lygian, as described so graphically in Henryk Sienkiewicz's popular Quo Vadis." The combat between the Ital- ian and the beast lasted fully two hours and resulted in victory for the bull. The animal was selected with great care by the authorities of the Mexican town and was of the short--horn variety. The same bull had previously appeared in the ring in a combat with Spanish bull-fighters and was, as a consequence, a fierce antagonist. It is a rule of bull-fighters not to fight the same bull twice, as the animal is al- ways rendered more alert and danger ous by his first experience.
 Romulus entered the ring clad only in pink tights. He was accompanied by two banderillos, whose mission was to distract the attention of the bull while the athlete endeavored to seize the anil malls horns. The bull showed great spirit and activity and charged repeat edly The giant approached warily. guarding himself with red cloth in imitation of banderillo. The efforts of the athlete were directed toward catching the horns of the beast as he raised his head after making charge. Man and beast harassed one another for an hour, while the gladiator was endeavoring to find an opening. Per spiration poured from Romulus. and the bull was frothing at the mouth.
 Finally, at a favorable moment, the athlete clinched hold of the horns of the bull. In the twinlSling of an eye the powerful man struck the sand of the arena head first, fifteen feet away, while the populace gave vent to howl of delight. The bull charged at the prostrate man, but the bander1llos 1n- terfered. Twice more was Romulus flung through space, and once the bulls horn grazed his cap. The blow ended the exhibition and the man limped from the ring, exhausted and badly bruised.
 Then the wild rabble, composed of Mexican peons, shouted itself hoarse. A COW roper, on foot, rushed forward with a lariat The bull was infuriated at the sight of him. He hurled himself with fearful velocity at the cowboy, struck him heavily and trampled him to the earth. The banderillos saved the man. Finally the bull was caught and hauled from the ring.
 Romulus, the strong man, whose muscular development is wonderful, said after the performance that he had often in private matched his strength against that of bull, and on every oc- casion had succeeded in downing the animal. He attributed his failure this afternoon to the fact that the bull had short horns, which were extremely diff ficult to catch.

He said he had been very busy been down to Clarksburg on that mur- he came back I didn't wait. I went over and had the case set myself, for last month And I went then and saw the District Attorney before the case came to trial-the day before-and he says, T do not think the ordinance is any good. I don't think you can convict those fel- lows. I think the ordinance is unconsti- tutional" Then, I says, ''If you can't convict them, it is no use going on. be- cause it is only putting me to expense and everybody else.'' So he says: Lets wait'' I didn't wait. I went and dis missed the case myself.

 Q-Where was that conversation held, and what did he say? A.-Why, 1t was all the way coming down on the train from woodland. from Davisville to Sac ramento. and in Davisville he kept me half an hour between the two streets.
 O.-What did he say?

And he says: "I am going to rent l00o acres and can run that ranch from that interest and I won't be out cent, Now" he says If you will quit I will give you anything In the world you want.
