there are mountains 5000 feet h1gh
in the canyon itself. Within year
there will be hundreds of prospectors
there, for the country contains a vast
number of large mines. Yes, I'll say

Coming to the question of earnings,

BURGLAR STEPHAN.
Held to Answer for the Lauritson
Robbery

Fred Stephan, who was arrested on
Wednesday by Officer Max p. Fisher
and Deputy Sheriff Charles Schwilke
on suspicion of having burglarized the
stable of L. Lauritson, near Natoma,
several months ago, was held to answer
yesterday afternoon by Justice Henry
for the crime of burglary. His bail was
was fixed at $1,000.
officer Fisher was the last witness
TO testify. He stated that Stephan
denied to Chief Dwyer that he knew
anything about robbing Mr.. Laurit-
sons barn of a set of double buggy
harness, and that after being told of
his rights as defendant, he refused
to speak about the case.
Witness further testified that after
Stephan had been apprised by Chief
Dwyer and Sheriff Johnson of the ma
ture Of the evidence against him, he
sent for the officers and made vol
untary statement, in which he ae-
knowledged his participation in the
crime. He said the officers were quite
right about there having been three
men implicated, and that while he was
willing to admit his share in the matter.
he would not tell who his confederates
were, and absolutely refused to give
their names, telling the officers to find
out for themselves. In his statement
Stephan expresses his wish to enter a
plea of guilty when arraigned in the
Superior Court.
Fisher further testified that no in
ducements were held out to the defend
ant for making this statement.
When Stephan was asked by the
Court if he desired to take the stand,
or if he had any statement to make,
he replied
Your honor, I have not I will say,
however. that what Officer Fisher has
said here is just as it occurred.
The defendant was then held to an
swer and remanded to the custody of
Sheriff Johnson.

LEAGUE RIVALS WILL MEET.
SANTA CRUZ TO PLAY TWO
GAMES HERE.
O'Connor's First Appearance Here
-Kripp Denounces a False
Statement.

There has not been so much activity
in local baseball circles since the mem
orable game between the Sacramentos
and Baltimores, some two years ago, as
at the present time.
The reason for this sudden enthu-
siasm is due to the fact that the two
great rivals in the league race. the Sac
ramentos and Santa Cruz teams, are
scheduled to play at Oak Park on Sat-
urday and Sunday. Then it will be
that Big Mike" O'Connor will make
his first appearance before a Sacra-
mento audience, and that in itself will
undoubtedly draw a large crowd of
people to the game.
Inc Santa Cruz team is in the lead
for the bunting while the Sacramentos
are fourth in the race, but after this
weeks series there should be de-
cided change wrought in the percentage
table. And it will not be surprising to
see the Senators bob up on Monday
morning an exceedingly good third
with the teams all we'll punched.
Regarding the statement published in
the Record Union" yesterday and
taken from the Santa Cruz Surf .
Manager Kripp said last evening that
the statement given out by the Santa
Cruz manager was absolutely false and
made simply to square himself with
the Santa Cruz fans at his (Kripp's)
expense
The real facts of the matter are
these" said Kripp. 1.-THE Santa Cruz
ball grounds We're occupied on June
18th by some other attraction, and as
the Santa CruZans were not patron
izing the game very well, Manager
Tuttle wrote me and asked if I would
give him a certain sum over his guar
antee if he would transfer the games
to Sacramento. But not a word was
mentioned about exchanging dates. AS
Sacramento was drawing well at the
time, 1 agreed to give him amount
asked for, and so the games We're trans
ferred.
Now the Santa Cruz people are
clamoring for a game, and Tuttle is
having a hard time 'squaring himself,
and in trying to do so he has placed me
in false light. Therefore I wish to
state most emphatically that there is
not one word of truth in the assertion
made by Tuttle."
A san Francisco paper says: THE
Sacramentos made no mistake in be-
slowing the leadership on Mike O'Con-
nor. The Texan is a brainy, aggressiv e
player and eminently qualified for the
position of captain. Under his general
ship the Sacramentos are going to be
hard team to down. They have al
ways had excellent material, but there
seemed to be no harmony in their man
euvers. OConnor is just the man to
make the men work together.
The Clouds will cross bats with the
Suffers Fort baseball team next Sun
day morning at Fourteenth and r
streets. hot game is expected, as
the teams are evenly matched The
lineup is as follows: Clouds-Kathan,
catcher; Giroux. pitcher; Baldwin, first
base; Durer. second base; Clifton, third

FAIR OAKS, July 2O.-With this fine
growing weather and the rushing for
ward with the growth of trees and fruit,
come other events which are in keeping
with this liveoak community.
The people have been restive because
of the want of more ready access to
Sacramento. A petition for better
road has been signed by large portion
of our people, but now comes in new
factor which is destined to bring to the
front better way to get to the CITY,
1t has been known for some time that
movement toward bridge across the
American River near the townsite has
been under consideration. but nothing
had been done, and it was generally
supposed that the matter was resting
for a time.
Meantime conditions have been
changing. There is certain to be soon
established, just across the river, one
of the largest mining enterprises now
in existence-an enterprise that will
continue for some time. But the i'm
portant event which is coming is the
advent of the automobile. There is no
doubt that, if there were bridge
across the American River, within
very short time this means of travel be-
tween Fair Oaks and Sacramento would
be established.
This statement is not any guesswork,
but comes from good authority. This
prospect has set in motion the Board
of Trade and the banking interests of
Sacramento and it will not be long be-
fore a petition will be presented to the
people of Fair Oaks. and all interested,
for the immediate construction OF the
bridge. This movement is so strong,
and has so many good reasons for it
that it will in all probability supersede
the petition for the direct road to the
Capital City.
This will lead to the necessity of
opening the road asked for in the road
petition from the townsite to the
"Greenback" road at Orangevale. The
new means of locomotion will take thu
place of the electric car system which
was one of the promises made to Fair
Oaks. All this will be done rapidly
Fair Oaks will be brought within few
minutes of Sacramento. especially when
the macadamiZed road is the line OF
travel for the automobile.
that is coming to a wideawake people.
Where so many natural advantages al
ready exist there is sure to come all the
artificial privileges and benefits, if the
people are not slow to see these things.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hubbs have gone to
Sacramento, a good situation having

agement by Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
