There was a surprisingly large num-
Der of shoppers on the street. Tuesday,
and trade was very good all day. The
Changers have not turned their atten-
ton to shopping, and probably will not
until the latter days of the session.
The stores are then expecting big
rush.

RUBBER TIRES.
Sacramento FIRMS Suit Against q
Tire Company.

Tire Company.
The boom in rubber tires for road
vehicles on this coast has resulted in a
series of lawsuits involving carriage
manufacturers and rubber making
firms
Not long since rival rubber COM
.pany brought suit against the Ameri-
can Rubber Tire Company in the Fed
eral Court to enjoin it from using the
patents which it claimed to own. Co
temporaneous with this the rival COM
pany brought suit against Meister 4
Sons of Sacramento and all others US
ing the goods Of the American Rubber
Tire Company to prevent them from
using the goods of the latter company.
Now Meister & Sons have brought
suit against the American Rubber Tire
Company for $1,000 damages for the
alleged non-fulillment of contract.
According to the plaintiffs allegations
the American Rubber Tire Company
entered into contract with them In 1881
giving to'them exclusive right to manu-
facture and sell rubber tires and We
hicle wheels under patents controlled
by the defendant company.
The contract stated that the defend
ant agreed to sell rubber to the plain
tiff at specified price per pound, and
everything ran smoothly until few
months ago. A few months ago rub
Der took jump in the market, and
the defendant, so the plaintiff alleges.
refused to sell at the old price, repud1-
ated the contract, and asked for the in
creased price which it demanded be-
fore it would sell plaintiff any more
rubber. :
Meister & Sons allege that the Amer
lean Rubber Tire Company agreed to
indemnify them. and all others, using
the tires from any damage. Plaintiff
claims to have already been damaged
to the extent of $1,000 from defend
ants neglect to fulfil its contract.

REToRT FROM YoLo.
Supervisor Snider's Views on Ferry
Matters, Etc.


The Woodland .Mail'' publishes the
following card from Supervisor T. c.
Snider of Yolo, in which he says:
i see by the Record Union that SUI
pervisor Morrison says that he is glad
to have the Yolo County people trade
in Sacramento. Has Mr. Morrison
shown by his actions as Supervisor
that he wishes the trade Of the Yolo
County people? Yolo County citizens
petitioned the Sacramento Board of
Supervisors to give them permission
to move the Peters ferry about one
and half miles down the river so as
to shorten the distance to Sacramento
about two miles, and bought right of
way in Sacramento County, paying
$500 therefore, and offered to gravel it
at their own expense.
This petition was denied on motion
of Mr.. Morrison. Then only a few
months ago, these same people petit
toned the Sacramento Board of Su-
pervisors to grant them a franchise to
run free ferry at their own expense.
But this was also denied, Mr.. Morrison
voting against granting a free ferry
franchise to- Yolo County people.
4AoW - Aolo OOuuty going TO GStdU-
lish a free ferry, when Mr.. Morrison
! and two other members of the Sacra-
mento Board will persist in not grant
| ing us a franchise?
Only a few weeks ago one of our
citizens was arrested for selling wood
in Sacramento. We do not arrest Sac
ramento merchants for coming to Yolo
to sell US wood, groceries, etc. If Sac
| ramento does not want our trade and
proposes to license us for the privilege
| of coming over there, think it would
| be a good idea for our Board of Super
visors to levy license high enough to
keep the Sacramento merchants from
| crossing the river to sell us any more
goods.
Il differ with Mr. Morrison in this,
| that I am in favor Of free ferries, free
bridges and no licenses"

BURGLARY ON EAST SIDE.
E. C. Booker Loses Shaving Xii and }. W.
Booker Loses Jewelry.

Fred c. Booker. who runs barber
shop on the East side, is mourning 'he
loss of his favorite shaving kit and al
so the loss of good assistant. Iues-
day morning. when he opened his shop
and started to shave his first patron
he found that there was not a razor IN
the shop. He asked the customer 10
wait a moment and went out TO borrow
a razor. The shop was cleaned out
completely. The kit was valued at 800.
The trouble did not end there. Mr..
Booker found on inquiry that the
house of his father. j. w. Booker, had
also been visited and that various
things were missing. A gold watch
and chain. rings, a fine pair of opera
glasses and other jewelry had been
taken A small savings bank con-
tanning from S4 to 81, the exact amount
not being known. was also gone.
Several weeks ago, Mr. Booker secur-
ed the services of Clarence Smith of
Chelsea, Mass, as an assistant. He
was hired in Boston. He was good
workman and very pleasing fellow
to meet. He drank some. Mr.. Booker
says. and when under the influence of
liquor did things which he would not
do when sober. He is now missing and
10 ore seems to know where he has
gone He is % years of age and about
feet, inches in height. His hair and
moustache is black. When last seen
he wore a blue suit of clothes, a black
overcoat and tan shoes.
1t is not know just how an entrance
was affected at the home of j. W. Book
er, but it is supposed that the doors
were unlocked at the time of the theft
and that it was accomplished so quiet
" that one one was disturbed. The
shop was not broken into but must
have been entered by means of key.
The matter has been reported to the
police and they have commenced 4
search for the thief.

Found BY Marshal Morse.

Marshal Morse returned from South
Paris. Tuesday evening, where he has
been after the horse stolen from J. H.
Hartung of Manchester, nearly two
weeks ago. The team was brought to

a very blind case from the start.
Marshal Morse has been out several
times on what he thought We're reliable
clues but they have all proved to be
misleading. Monday, he received word
that team answering to the descrip
ton of that stolen had been found in
South Paris and at once started for
that place.
The horse had been noticed wander
ing about the fields but no notice was
taken of it for while. Finally it was
caught and taken to man who owns a
span of grey horses, on the supposition
that he had lost one. On finding that it
did not belong there the captor return
ed to the town with the animal intend
ing to turn him loose there and so have
1T off his hands. The horse however
started to follow him and was again
taken in tow. and taken to a stable in
the town and advertised. They learned
OF the loss of the Manchester team and
sent a full description Of the rig to

at once for the place and found that i,
