AFTER THE GAME wARDENs.
What Some Santa Clara Citizens
With to Do.

There has always been an element in
the community that was opposed to the
enforcement of the laws for the pro-
lection OF game, and it has, therefore,
been hard to efficiently protect it.
In 1895, however, a law was passed
allowing Boards of Supervisors to cre-
ate the office of County Game Warden
and fill it by appointment. Under
this law a number of counties have
secured faithful and energetic preser-
walton OF game, this county being one
of them. A number of citizens of
Santa Clara County, however, have
formed themselves into an organiza-
ton which they denominate the Good
Government League. They have deter
mined to sue the Supervisors of that
county to try to recover from them
about 81 600 paid out since 1897 as SAL
airy to the Game Warden of that
county, and have written to District
Attorney Baker to ask if he proposes
to take any similar action; also for any
advice or aid that he can give them.
The Santa Clara people claim that
the County Government Act Of 1897
repealed all former Acts with regard
Game Warden was a county officer,
and therefore the Act allowing his po-
sition to be created was repealed by
the County Government Act of 1897.
AS Sheriffs and Constables rarely or
never trouble themselves to enforce
the game laws, and the bill for the Gre
alton of a State Game Warden and
deputy wardens failed to receive the
Governors signature, if the contention
of the Santa Clara men should be sus !.
tanned the people of the State may
look for very little heed to be paid to
the preservation CT game in the near
future, unless the game protective as
sociations lately HORNED in a number of
counties take the matter in hand and
the members put their hands in their
pockets to do at private expense what
the State and county governments
should be interested in doing as bust

EDWARD ]. kELLYS DEATH.
RESULT OF CoRoNER's IN
QUEST LAST NIGHT.
The Jury Found it Was Caused by
Injuries Received by
Accident.

Coroner McMullen last night held an
inquest on the body of Edward j.
Kelly, which was found early yester-
day morning lying beside the railroad
track near Florin.
The unfortunate man had evidently
been dragged more than a hundred
feet and his body was badly bruised
and cut. The left side of the skull was
torn off and lay fifteen or twenty feet
from the body.
The jury was composed of W. w.
Coons, T. B. Eby, H. Murray, Frank
Morgan, c. B. Lusk and P. H. Burke.
Letters found On the body, one of
Which was written by his sister in
Stockton, showed his name to be Ed
ward ]. Kelly and that he had been
working at or near Madison, Yolo
County. No one saw the accident.
N. e. Smith, the engineer to train
No. 2SS, testified that he never saw
deceased before. No one on the train
knew anything about the accident. The
car repairer saw the blood on the car
When it got to Tracy.
E. w. Rivers, the conductor, testi-
fed that party wearing a sweater like
kelly's asked him if he could ride to
Stockton and was told that he could
not, as it was not a passenger train.
He saw no more of the man. He was
inclined to think that deceased was rid
ing on the brakebeam and fell off. His
feet or clothes might have caught in the
rods under the car, causing him to be
dragged.
II. M. Weymouth, fireman, testiged
that he did not see any man, being on
the front of the train.
Z. l.. Taber, a brakeman, said it was
his duty to couple up the cars. While
doing SO in the Sacramento yard he was
accosted by a man who said hello
He answered and went on, and on look
ing back saw the man get into an empty
car on the train. He afterward went
to the car and told the man that he
would have to get out of the car, as
the train did not carry passengers. The
man said 'aH right" and got out. He
then asked where the Stockton train
was, and seemed bewildered He did
not see anything more of the man, but
he did not get back in the car, for wit
ness looked in it.
A statement by Charles Wilson was
read, to the effect that he was walk
Ing along the track about half-past )
O'Clock and notified the Brighton opera
tor OF that fact. The mans hat was on
the track and the body was lying be-
side the track near trestle No 131 D.
There was evidence that he had been
dragged along, the head striking the
ties.
One of the trainmen testified that part
OF the brains and blood were on the
fifth car from the engine
The jury found that Kelly came to his
death from injuries received by acct
dent by being run over by a moving
train.

DEATH AT LAST.
The End Game to Hiram E. Greer
Yesterday.

Hiram E. Greer died yesterday. He
had been in poor health a long time,
and a couple of years ago underwent
a series of most extraordinary surgi-
cal operations For a time he i'm
proved and seemed in a fair way of
restoration to health. Some months
since he fell into a decline, however,
and the end came yesterday.
Mr.. Greer was long a. resident of Sac
ramento and had a great many friends.
He was most genial and kind hearted
man, who was never happier than
when doing someone a favor. At one
time he was connected with the Police
Department.
Deceased leaves two daughters. a
brother and sister-Mfss Rosa Greer of
this city, Mrs. H. E. Darlington of
Santa Rosa, Bart Greer of this city,
and Mrs. John Beck Of Oak Park. He
was native of Illinois and 4S years of
age
The funeral will take place from W.
F. Gormleys mortuary parlors at 2:3U

EARLY FRUIT PROFITS.
One Grower Clears Over Thirty
Cents a Pound for His Crop,

A few days ago was published the
fact that carload of California fruit,
mostly cherries, brought s., 800 in New
York, of whic hsome $1,000 was net to
fthe growers.
But The returns on that carload were
small compared with what L. Oberti of
Suisun Valley received for his seasons
cherry crop. He shipped altogether
191 boxes of Black Tartarians =
through the Earl Fruit Company-his
net proceeds ON which amounted to
So2l Il, an average Of 50 IS per box, or
over 30 cents per pound for the fruit
This certainly demonstrates the profit
there is in growing early cherries for
the Eastern market. These prices were
not received for single shipment, sold
under unusually favorable conditions,
but ran through the seasons shipments
by a small grower. Others no doubt
did nearly as well, as good prices have
been the rule this season
Shipments of early fruit generally
bring profit to the the grower, for the
appearance of luscious California fruits
in the Eastern stalls almost before
green leaf has made it's appearance
there is too tempting to be resisted
The warm valleys along the Coast
Range hills on the western side of the
Sacramento Valley rarely fail to pro-
duce early and abundant crops of
fruit, and the orchards on the east
side and along the river are not far
behind.
While the earlier fruits are subject
to the danger Of an occasional late
frost, still they are most profitable in
the long run. The fact that Northern
and Central California oranges are
month or two earlier in the market
than the southern crop assures our
citrus fruit growers good prices right
along.

absurdities. It can scarcely be said,
however, that the play is one calcu-
lated to command respect for matri-
mony or excite admiration for the
faithfulness of men, though it must be
confessed that it gives women credit
for sincerity. Holland and Williams
are inimitable comedians; between the
two it would be difficult for even an
exacting taste to judge. Miss Tittel
is charming personality. She has
developed as a clever actress, and does
honor to the State of her nativity. The
support throughout was f1awless. The
company was the recipient of curtain
call at the close of each act.

Defiant Act of a Disgrunt1ed Per-
SON at Walnut Grove.

Constable Cottrell of Walnut Grove
yesterday informed District Attorney
Baker that a barn owned by party
living near that village, in which CLAN
dered horses had been kept and which
was closed by the orders of County
Veterinary Surgeon Maclean, had been
broken open by the owner and other
animals housed therein.
The District Attorney communicated
with DR.. Maclean, and the latter went
to Walnut Grove to investigate and has
not yet returned. It is understood that
if the facts are as reported, DR.. Mac
lean will quarantine the barn and the
property on which it is situated.

GOOD APPOINTMENT.
That Of G. w. Keller, Fish and
! Game Commissioner.

! Game Commissioner.
Governor Gage made no mistake
when he named G. w. Keller of Los
Angeles for Fish and Game Commits
sioner," said H. J. Kilgariff yesterday.
7 see his name has been published as
G. w. Miller, and sportsmen have been
wondering who the new Commissioner
is.
sKeller is all right though contin-
ued Mr.. Kilgariff. HE is a well-known
capitalist of Los Angeles and one of
the keenest sportsmen in the State. He
is President of the Pacific Coast Field
Trial Club, lover of the dog and
gun, and while thoroughly posted in
matters piscatorial and a devotee of the
rod and reel, he is a man who will see
that the commission plays no favo-
rites.
Heretofore the game interests have,
by a majority of the commission, been
subordinated to those of the fish di-
vision, but Mr.. Keller can be depended
on to correct this state of affairs.
Though he is not widely known in this
part of the State, sportsmen may rest
assured that Mr.. Keller's appointment
is good one"
