GAME PROTECTION.
Movement to Form a County As
sociation for That Purpose.

A move is on foot to form a County
Game Protective Association. one that
shall be what its name indicates, an
association for the protection of game
from destruction and ultimate annihi-
lation in this State
Fresno County has recently formed
such an association, which proposes not
only to take measures to preserve the
game, but to stock the county with new
species not indigenous to this State
1t is hoped that other counties will
follow the good example and fall into
line, and that from them a State Game
Protective Association may be formed.
Such an organization would be of in
calculable benefit TO this State, that has
been in the past so bountifully blessed
with game, but which is now threat
ened with serious diminution. if not
total extinction, of some of the varie-
ties, il a stop is not put to their whole
sale slaughter
Such an organization, too. composed
of sportsmen who are familiar with the
habits of game, could speak with au-
thority for the sportsmen of the State
TO the Legislature, and have some in
fuenee in preventing the tinkering
with the game law at every session
which often leaves it worse off than
before

Dan Healy Calls Down the Oakland
Horne-Einder

officer Healy of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children re-
turned yesterday from Oakland, whith
er he went to ascertain what had been
done with the two girls taken from
this city some days ago by one ]. E.
Henderson, who claimed to be at the
head of a home-finding society in Oak
land.
Healy found that there was no such
incorporated body, and that the girls
had been sent to the Chabot Home, a
worthy institution. He had long talk
with Henderson, who undertook to
run a bluff" but was plainly given
to understand that he was acting lille
gally, and that he must not again
come to Sacramento and spirit away
young girls (nor boys, either) who are
under the jurisdiction of the Sacra-
mento society, a legally incorporated
body.
From what Healy was able to learn,
Henderson seems to mean all right,
though he should have known better
than to take possession of children as
a private citizen without permission of
court. Hea1y informed him that hence
forth he must keep his hands off Sac
ramentO cases.

When we read of an elephant hunter who
has been trampled TO death in the wilds of
India. we wonder at the foolhardiness of a
man who will travel round the world and
endure all manner of hardships, in order to
court death in a far away jungle. A man
does not have to make journey to India
in order to court death in a manner equally
foolhardy.
Thousands of hard working men are daily
counting death in a much more certain
form, without ever leaving their native vii
lagos or cities. They are the men who neg
1ect their health. They are the men who
court death from consumption, or some
other deadly disease due to improper or
insufficient nourishment. The man who
suffers from bilious or nervous disorders
who has weak stomach and an i'm 1paired
digestion, who has lost the power to eat,
rest or sleep, and who fails to take prompt
steps to remedy these conditions, is court
ing death in the guise of some fatal rnalady.

ROBERT ALIENS MURDER.
Its Memory Revived by the Death
Of "Jack" Smiths Widow.

A dispatch from Keokuk, Ia, yester-
DAY reads: Mrs. Ida Morrill, Smith,
daughter of ex-Legislator Morrill, of
NauVoo, who was q personal friend of
Abraham Lincoln, and niece of Senator
Anson P. Morrill, and Governor Morrill,
of Vermont, is dying tonight at a hos
pital here as the result of a surgical
operation performed yesterday. Mrs,
Smith was a woman of refinement and
education, but owing to an unfortu-
| nate marriage had been discarded by
her family. While keeping a hotel in
Sacramento, Cal, her husband was
convicted as accessory to a murder, and
Mrs. Smith took upon herself the mis-
sion of clearing him. He was finally
released by the Supreme Court, but
died before leaving prison. Mrs. Smith
then returned to her old home at Nau-
WOO with her two daughters. Until
| her health broke she supported her
self and daughters by working in a
factory"
The dispatch recalls the robbery and
murder Of Robert Allen in this city on
May IL, 1891, for which Martin CALI
gan, alias Harry Gordon, was sentenced
to twelve years in Folsom and is now
serving out his time there. He con-
fessed to the robbery, and as Allen had
not at that time died, was sentenced
for that offense.
Allen kept the Exchange, on Seventh
street, between and K, and was way
laid by footpads at the alley on Sew
enth street back Of the courthouse, on
his way home, struck on the head with
hammer and robbed. He never re-
covered and died a couple of months
later, after the trial of Gordon. One
of the gang with whom Gordon asso-
ciated was named McKaig, alias Casey.
and he let fall remark that gave the
police a clue to the robbers, and on
which Gordon was arrested, but Jack
Haley, who was said to have struck the
fatal blow, was never captured.
j. D. Smith at that time kept dive
on K street not a hoteD, and bore an
unsavory reputation with the police
and Gordon in his confession, stated
that Smith put up the job to rob Allen
and told him and Haley how to go about
it and they did the job, it being under
stood that Smith was to have "divvy.'
Smith was convicted of murder after
Aliens death and sentenced for life, but
the Supreme Court granted him a new
trial, on the ground that he could not
be convicted on the uncorroboratied tes-
tmony of an accomplice. While he
was waiting for his second trial he died
in the County Hospital of consumption.
