THE arrest OF the men charged with
the murder VI Col. Fcuntain brings
Allen Kelley to the front again. Most
folks had forgotten this genial pen
wielder, aud many supposed he had
departed. He is now cUnnected with
the Los Angeles Times, and is print
ing some OF the most readable ro-
mances about southern New Mexico
that have appeared since he left Albu-
querque. According to his stories he
has positive information that Oliver
Lee and the rest OF the gang are inno-
cent OF the murder OF Fountain, and
he seems 10 think that their being &C.
cuscd OF the murder, after he has said
they are innocent, Is a most peculiar
political persecution. Ga the other
band 1t long has been rumored, with
propably as much basis OF truth as
there is In Kelley's statements, that
Kelly, himself, has had a guilty know
lege OF the Identity Of the murderers
Of Col. Fountain. Certain IL is, that
he has been able to print more alleged
facts about the taking of OF Fountain
than any other newspaper mar 10 the
Rio Grande valley. The LIBERAL is
glad that Kelly has once more come to
the front. With Brann and Kelly
both dead it would have to depend on
war news exclusively for hot reading.

Chanler, the Bicycle Operator, Be-
fore Judge Hart

Judge Hart yesterday heard arSu-
ments in the matter of the application
of GeOgre CHAMBER for release from Jail,
on habeas corpus, and took the case
under advisement until to-day
Chanler is the man whose arrest pub
lished in the Record Union on Thurs
day. was made on a telegram from
Portland Or, charging him with the
theft of two bicycles. One Of the
wheels had been found in Portland,
where Chanler had pawned it for S.,O,
and the other he had with him when
arrested. He admitted having taken
the wheels, but said he had intended
going back to Portland right away and
returning them to their owners.
w. A. Gett, Chanler's counsel asked
for the latter's release on the ground
that Chief of Police Dwyer had no legal
right to arrest him without a warrant,
and because the complaint to which the
Chief had sworn was filed after the
arrest, which Mr.. Gett claimed was
insufficient
1t was contended by Assistant Dis
tr1ct Attorney Jones that Chief Dwyer
had authority to hold the prisoner to
give the Portland officers time to come
after him with a warrant and a rea-
sonable time had not yet elapsed
Judge Hart will decide the matter

ENDS I'M A BLAZE OF GLORY.
OLD GLORY CARNIVAL A THING
OF THE PAST.
Successful Termination of the Ef-
forts by the Ladies Of the
Red Cross Society.

The Old Glory Carnival went out
about midnight last night in a plaZe o.
glory.
The entertainment was well con-
celVed, We'll planned and well carried
out. and reflects great credit on the
ladies who managed it and those VINO
rendered them such able assistance
The scale on which it was Conducted
would have been creditable to a mucn
larger city than Sacramento, and shows
what our people can do when they bend
their energies to accomplish a gwen
OBJECT. The grounds at Oak Park last
night We're like fairy land. The electric
lights We're supplemented by headlights
Of locomotives, and the whole tempered
and softened by the light of the mooL,
shed a mellow radiance over the ami
mated scene.
1t seemed as if all Sacramento with
their uncleS their cousins and their
aunts had turned out to make the
carnival a success and have an evening
of unaIloyed enjoyment. Notwithstand-
ing the north wind that had been blow
ing for two days the evening could not
have been more perfect if made to or
der as the wind which had been blow
ing briskly through the day subsided
about sunset and became calm and
quiet. The ladies, who were almost
discouraged the day before at the dam
age the wind had done TO the partially
constructed booths, took fresh courage
and determined on Thursday to put
forth redoubled energy and show that
little thing like a norther could not
stop them. They started in again early
yesterday morning and worked with
such skill and judgment that from
chaos they evolved a scene of beauty
not easily forgotten by those who saw
it. 1t looked we'll by day; it looked
better by night.
There was a good crowd in the after
noon and the main attraction outside
the booths was the ball game between
the ElkS and the Grizzlies. 1t was a
great game; great on account of the
wonderful ball play and great or ac-
count of the avoirdupois of some OF the
parties who took part. 1t was a game
of protests. Each side declared that
the umpire had thrown them down IN
favor of the other and the spectators
on the bleacherS declared that he had
thrown them both down and ought to
have thrown them out-but the pitch
erS did that. Doc" TebbetS in WE'LL
fitting suit that showed his AdorIis-
like proportions to perfection, stood
near first base, wearing a Weyler curl
on his mustache and a sombrero that
would have made Spaniard turn
green with envy, and coached both
sides with the utmost impartiality and
'joshing" the spectators meanwhile; !;
while they "jollied" all the players,
and yelled foul" and made the UNI
pire's life a burden to him. 1t was a
bowling success. The boys were sue
cessful in getting out, and the spec

Sidewalk Pastures.

Eds. Record Union: Is it perlnis-
sible for people to use the city side
walks for pasturage for their live
stock If not who is the one that should
see to this matter. Ninth and Tenth
streets, near G street, is getting to he
a regular camping ground, and you
can see any number of horses, cows and
sheep there any day-some loose and
some tied with long ropes.
Apart from this being menace to
the safety OF children, it seems to me
that it is dangerous to the general
health of the community, and God
knows it is none too healthy here If
people exercised some decency in these
matters Sacramento would not have as
bad name as it is now burdened with.
Near Eleventh and c streets one can
see a portion of the street in process of

being taken to the dumps Yours truly.

Serious Damage Reported to Or.

Between the late frosts, the winter
and spring drought and the northwest
gale of the last two days the orchard
lists and farmers have hard season to
contend with.
Reports from the country yesterday
are to the effect that from one-uuaa-ter
to one-half the fruit crop was knocked
from the trees by the severe norther.
Down along the river the damage is
estimated at one-fourth, and this ratio
Will probably hold good in other parts
of the county.
Up the Sacramento Valley the loss is
said to be even greater. and it is also
reported that much of the unharvested
wheat has been thrashed out by the
wind
Although no reports have come in
from the hopgrowers, it is safe to say
that some injury was done by tearing
the vines from the trellises. but this
can be remedied
