BERSAGL ERI GUARD FUNDS.
CAN THEY BE USED TO PAY
LAWYERS FEES.
Injunction Against the Society's
Officers Who Are Prosecut-
ing A. Sbarbaro.

G.. Dulicha has brought suit to COM
pei G. Foppiano, R. Giorgi, P. Gabrielii
and ]. A. Devote to return to the treas
ury of the Society di M. S. Bersagleri
Italiani, No. 3, Sacramento commonly
known as the Bersagleri Guard, the
sum of $75, which is alleged to have
been unlawfully drawn therefrom by
Foppiano, Giorgi and Gabrielli for the
purpose of retaining an attorney to as
sist in prosecuting A. Sbarbora, charged
with embezzling the funds of the So
ciety, and to restrain the defendants
from paying $500 or any other sum for
legal services, having for it's object the
prosecution of Sbarbora.
The complaint sets forth that there
is now $1,000 in the treasury of the
corporation, and that the defendants,
Foppiano, Giorgi and Gabrielli are it's
officers; that the corporation has no
capital stock, it's funds being raised by
monthly dues or assessments; that the
membership is about ninety, and that
the members in good standing are en-
titled to share in the benefits of the,
corporation, and participate in meet
ings, benefits, ETC.; that the officers
have assumed to and have taken en-
tire control of the funds of the cor
poration and are paying the same out
without authority and not in accord
ance with the law and the provisions of
the constitution and bylaws of the
corporation.
1t is further alleged that early in the
present month the officers of the So
ciety employed one Devote, who is an
attorney-atlaw residing in San Fran
cisco, as special counsel to assist in
prosecuting Antonio Sbarbora, charged
with embezzlement; that they have
paid Devote from the funds of the as
sociation S75, and have contracted to
Pay the further sum of $500 out of the
funds; that their conduct is unauthor-
lied and contrary to law, and that the
plaintiff believes they intend to pay the
$500 above mentioned. And upon those
grounds the suit was brought

cordance with the prayer of the plain

BALL AND CHAIN.
"Ohio Fatty's" Leg Adornment at
the Illinois Prison.

Frank Wheeler, alias Steadman, alias
"Ohio Fatty the convict who lately
tried to cut his way out of the Fol-
som Prison and few days later was
taken to Joliet, ILL.,, to serve an unex-
pired term, is not likely to escape from
there again.
The officers have had chain welded
about one of his ankles, with a thirty
pound iron ball at the other end of it,
and Fatty" seems to be up against
the real thing this time.
Extreme measures were necessary in
his case, for he is treacherous ras-
cal. The very day the officers came
to Sacramento for him a package or
red pepper was found in his possession,
and he had full set of handcuff keys,
showing that he had intended to blind
the officers while on the trip East and
make his escape.
Since returning him to the Joliet Pris-
on he managed to get hold of a knife,
so it was decided to waste no more
time on the desperado. He is now In
solitary confinement until he reforms.

A MASCOT STRANDED.
Plight of a Lad Who Just Came
From Manila.

Jesse Smith, a lad of II, who was the
mascot of the Second Oregon Volun-
teers, was in the city yesterday. He
started for Manila with Major Goodale
as the mascot of the Twenty-third
United States Infantry, from Omaha,
Neb., in October, 1898. They left San
Francisco on the Senator. When she
arrived at Honolulu young Smith con-
cluded to visit there for a while and
remained there for two months.
When the Pennsylvania came along
with the Iowa troops he boarded that
vessel and went on to Manila. There he
Joined the Twenty-third Regiment
again and remained with it until it
went to the island of Negroes He then
cast his fortunes with the Second Ore
gen and came home with that regi-
ment. He has a letter from Colonel
Summers recommending him as faith
full and honest boy.
The lad says that he was On the fir
ing line during the whole campaign,
engaged in carrying ammunition and
making himself generally useful. He
visited all the places occupied by our
troops, both north and south of Manila.
Young Smith is trying to get back
to Omaha, but has not a cent in his
pockets. He was accompanied by F.

"HARD-TIMEs" PARTY.
A Social Function of the Free-and-
Easy Sort.

There was hard times party at
Twenty-first and M streets last night,
at which about dozen gay youth and
half that many jolly young women rep
resented persons who had seen better
days. The costumes worn by the boys
represented every degree of misery
from wandering Willie to a forelorn
dandy, and the young women gloried
in limp calico gowns with obsolete
basques.
The dance was held in a vacant store
room, and to the music of a banjo and
squeaky violin, the musicians having
seats of vantage upon inverted NAH
kegs. The mirth was of the loud va
riety, and the fun was fast and furious.
The Virginia reel was danced to jig
music, the boys assisting the players
while not engaged in trying to jerk the
arms off the girls while swinging
through the figure. While Record,
Union" reporter saw none of the girls
fall, two of the young men measured
their lengths on the floor
1t was festive gathering, and con-
siderable number of people viewed the
proceedings through holes in the paper
which covered the windows, also
through the open doors. AS the re-
porter was leaving the scene, one of
the young men struck up the familiar
chorus:
Hail! Hail! the Chief has come,
What the hi do we care.
1t is to be inferred. however, that
those present succeeded in having a
good time. Equally as good a time
might have been had with a little less
noise and thus left a better impression
on the minds of the spectators and
passersby.

The crime for which Harlan was
tried was the most fiendish of it's ma

it is doubtful if it's counterpart can
be found in the criminal annals of any

been vigilant and untiring in their eff

greatly aided by Daniel Healy, the

possible. From the first Mr. Healy has

. brought here by some one who wanted
to get to Sacramento without walking,
or else that something has happened to
the man who brought it here. He is
a young man. and claimed to have come

the amount of the insurance will not
