Ban Fay, the old-time thief who many years ago stole Father Scanlan's horse and who has lived most of the time since either in the Sacramento or Yolo County Jail, has again been distinguishing himsi It was only a few days ago that Fay finished a term of service in the chaingang. On Sunday night he celebrated his freedom by stealing a horse and cart which B.

L. Edwards of SuttervUle had left standing on strreet, between Second and Third. There is no telling how far Daniel would have traveled that night had it not been that he was severely handicapped by an overweight of dive whisky. The result was that he fell from the cart and the horse ran away. Sometime during the night Dan ran across his brother Pat, while both were on the search for a Chinese gin-mill.

After the fiery fluid had cut its way to its destination, whispered in Pat's ear that he had a scheme on foot. It was break into the County Jail, steal the liar- ness used for the chaingang team and sell it. i The idea struck Pat as a brilliant one. The two worthies then stole a Chinese peddler's hand-cart and rolled it up through the alley in the rear of the jail. To open the rear door and gain access to the outer yard was an easy job, even for the two drunks, and they soon had the harness in the band-cart.

At an early hour in the morning the discovery of the unlawful entry into the jail was made by the Sheriffs officers and Deputy Sullivan set off to look for thei missing harness, and also in the hope of getting sight of the man who had the I effrontery to break into the County Jail. The police were also notified. Deputy Sullivan found no difficulty in trailing the hand-cart through the fresh lysprinkle i streets.and after a brief hunt lie and Police Officer Frank White came upon Daniel and Patrick, who were trying to negotiate a trade therefor with a Chinaman. The two worthies were taken into custody and will be tried for a doubleoffi nse larceny of the band-cart and burglarizing the County BRIEF NOTES. 11.

There is considerable stir about the American River Land and Mining Company's boon, a short distance above Folsom. The energetic Superintendent of tho company is pushing things with a vim, and when the next high water comes it will land at the mills logs enough to keep them running the whole of the season. Referring to the present situation there, the Folsom Telegraph says: "Colonel G. W. Cummings, Superintendent of tho American River Land and Lumber Company, returned on Monday from San Francisco, whore he has been for the past ten days purchasing machinery and material necessary for 1 his company's future operations, which are to be cendneto- on a much enlarged scale, notwithstanding tho drawback of very low water in the river this season.

The company has certainly demonstrated i the entire feasibility of their plan of a ling timber of various kinds from the mountains to their bo mi at this place, as they have brought down enough railroad ties and 1 in'wood to the bead of the shu ie water, above the boom, to nil the river tor more than a mile. "The saw-logs were brought more than half-way down when the water suddenly dropped two feet in a single day. The phenomenon of little boys rolling up i their pants and wading serosa the river above our county bridge, where tho stream at this season of the year is usually deep enough to swim a horse, is i sufficiently explanatory of Colonel Cuuin.bigs' remark that he'couldn't (lost logs over bare We are gratified to be able to state that this enterprising concern is neither discouraged by the outcome of its operations up to the present time, nor disheartened in its preparations for the future. "Colonel Cummings has purchased for the company complete outfit ol the most approved box-maxing machinery which within tho next four weeks will be in operation, converting the railroad ties and a large portion of the firewood iuto fruit-boxes, from which a profit of more than double the amount will be realized than would be gained if these commodities were sold in their original shape, as ties and wood. The Colonel, having had me of the ties worked into box material, speaks by the card.

The boxfaetory will give employment to quite a number of men and boys, and in its various brandies will add appreciably to the business of our town. "The corporation has just purchased from the Southern Pacific Company rails, chairs and spikes for twelve milts of track, to be used as a logging road in the mountains to transport saw logs from its immense timber boit to the American River, down which the logs will be floated in seasons of ordinary high water. The American Kiver Land and Lumber Company will also build a dam across the river. Bear the terminus of the railroad, to serve the double purpose of affording the necessary depth of water for eluding logs at all seasons of the year, and for storage purposes, with capacity to bold 5,000,000 feet of logs. It wiU be so arranged that the water may be let off ever six hours to "flood' tlie logs along on upon a controllable freshet, so to speak.

The rougher portions of the river will he improved by blasting out the large bowlders in the mid channel, where the expi tience of tho past season has demonstrated that such work will pay. "Colonel Cummings informs us, as did several of his that tlie logs are not injured by their river transit in the slightest degree, although they had passed over the roughest part of the stream and had made more than half the distance to the boom. The evidence of our own eyesight attests that the said railroad ties are as perfect as when they left the mill. Neither corners nor ends show any appreciable wear." ON THE TURF.

LIQUOR LICENSE CASES. Judjro Cravens Overrules the Demurrer Cases Continued. Yesterday was the timo set by Police Judge Cravens to decide the matter of tho demurrer to tho complaint against H. F. Dillman an others for alleged violation of the liquor license ordinance.

The Judge said, in ruling upon tho demurrer, that he believed the ordinanco to ba sound and valid. "Counsel for the defense has urged in support of the demurrer that the ordinance is in conflict with the city charter. This is not so, as an examination of the city charter will show. It is further contended by tho defense that the ordinance is not uniform, i and furthermore that its enforcement i works undue hardships on saloon-keop-1 ers who can scarcely keep the wolf from the door. The real object of the ordinance is not to levy an undue tax on liquor dealers, but to stop unlawful traffic.

It places restrictions on saloons and deals with a class thai must conform with the ordinance or close their saloon doors. As tlie ordinance does not conflict with the city charter or constitutional provisions of this State, I shall have to overrule the demurrer." An exception to the court's ruling was made by W. A. Anderson, counsel for thi' defense. There were forty-seven defendants, and I attorney White, who appeared for tlie I prosecution, desired to nave the east? of 11.

F. Dillman first taken op for trial. Mr. Dillman was reported as toe 111 to appear. Grove L.

Johnson, of counsel for the defense, said he was also ill and in need ot a rest, and hoped the cases would be put over. After some farther talk over tiie matter llt was agreed that the cases should be continued until next Monday, when they would be definitely set for trial. ANOTHER ACQUITTAL. The Midnight Closing Ordinance Hns Another Setback. A jury in the Police Court yesterday decided that Emil Heinrieh did not keep open his saloon on street in violation of tho new ordinance.

The jurymen were: J.F.Kerr, Joseph. G.Genshlea, Aaron Wilson, Fred Oieseko, C. A. Williams, Isaiah Dunlap. C.

A. Fisk, C. J. Fredericks, P. H.

Dodge and A. G. Johnson. Angelo Flores, Assistant City Auditor, C. C.

Robinson, B. EC. Preston, H. F. Dillman.

Mayor W. Comstock and I Officer J. A. Gibson testified for the prosecution, and after arguments by both sides the case was submitted. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty.

One of the jurors stated to a I Union reporter lastevening that the jury based ils verdict en several grounds. i First, lie said, thr-re was no evidence going to show that Heinrieh was the owner of the saloon. Secondly, it was not shown that he knew the saloon was I open, or that he was near the place when the officers made thoir appearance. Neither was there any proof that spirituous liquors wero sold after midnight. For these reasons, ho said, the jury concluded to return a verdict of not guilty.

As in the case of j. N. Payne, the validity of the ordinance cut no ligure in the case. COLONEL IRISH. Tho Eloqxient Gentleman Will Speak Here on Thursday.

Thursday evening next has been selected a-- tho date of Colonel John P. Irish's address to the people of Sacramento City and County on tho subject of immigration, The meeting will take place in Y. M.

A great many of the school boys are putting In their vacation picking fruit for shipment. The principal thing that arrived by Wednesday's Sacramento freight train was fiat cam loaded with steel rails, to be used in repairing the track.

Tho work on the new towers of the American River suspension bridge will be commenced next week. It will bo finished as soon as possible, and in a workmanlike manner. Now that the river is low a great deal 6f Blickens that has accumulated above tho dam had begun to run through the opening, and the consequence is that the river water has lust its usual clear appearance. There aro a groat many foxes in the hills near the prison, and traps have boon set out to catch thorn. Several havo been caught by tho convicts, who havo made pets of them.

They do not seem to be very large. Traps are out in several places lor them.

Front andO. teutl SEND THE WEEKLY UNION TO YOUR friends in the East. I CAPAY COLONY. Busy Fruit-Growers io a Pretty Yolo and Its Adjoining Farms. JN THE SPRING OF LAST YEAR Robert A.

and Real P. Barker associated themselves with WHUam McKay, an of Oak. kmd, with a view of searching out a suitable location In which to engage in the profitable occupation of fruitgrowing. After visiting many localities, they decided on the Cspay alley, County, and tho Rhodes tract at Tancred. Negotiations wero opened with the "alky Land tract in Question.

With VV. if. Mills, the ao ral Agent of that company, they arranged (br ths purchase of about 220 acres Of IbothUl land This being more than they had thought of for their own use, they spoke to a number or friends about it. With the result that the tract was divided among the followtag people: 15. L.

acres; w. T. acres; N. T. Greathead, 20 acreflj Mrs.

L. Greathead, 20 acres W. McKay, 20 acres-, n. D. Barker, 20 acres- R.

A. Barken 20acres; J.p.Brownlee, 20 acres; B. ii. lett, io acres; Joseph Barker, 10 acres; W. Kelly lo acres, and Frederick Kelly, IO acres.

So far tiiis had been merely a private tare of the gentlemen above named, but talking up the question of dividing the land already purchased, it was found that bo many more would like to join It than the area of tha purchase would admit of, that it was suggested on all hands, "Why not get some moro land and divide it up in the same way?" Then followed the idea of a stock company to take hold of a larger tract and arrange for the cultivation of the whole of It, after subdividing It according to the requirements of the subscribers, a provisional board was formed, a prospectus issued, and finally, on the sth of June, 1890, the Western co-operative Colonization and Improvement Company was dtJy registered and proceeded to business, with the following officers: President. Willlam McKay; Vice-President, M. P. Lrown; c. Ellis, Charles Brooke and R.

A. Parker; Secretary and General Neal P. Barker; Solicitor, C. K. Snook; Treasurer, First National Lank of Oakland.

The balance of the tract. 373 acres, was purchased, a centred was entered Into for the purchase ot a large number of fruit trees, vines, etc. This early purchase of trees was the means saving between 23,000 and $4,000 to the company, the prices swme cases having more than doubled since then. The Ideas which the prospectus set forth have been but slightly modified and tho progress of the oompany has been uninterrupted. Those who went Into tt doubtlngly have become enthusiastic, and almost all the members arranged to set out all their lands in Omit trees, etc- the lint year.

Consequently In this, the first 40,000 trees and between 20.000 and 30,000 vines will be planted. The satisfactory working of this scheme has had tic effect of attracting considerable attention to the work of the Colony Company. and a number of people are now desirous of lolning in with tnem. An additional 200 acres have been added to the sixty acres originally purchased. For company is predicted a very bright future, as wed as for the beautiful valley in which their operations are conducted.

How tills marvelous little garden pas come to be so i'ti; neglected Is a puzzle to every one who has visited it, but one thing is very sure, and that is that tlilr negiect will never egain bo Celt in the valley. The fruit- -er out are mostly of the standard apricots, Bartlett pears, prunes, tigs, raisin -rapes, along both sides of the avenues; throughout will throw- their graceful Bhade. A considcrablc'number oi citrus trees are i being tet out; quite a sufficient number to demonstrate that these fruits can be sue. fully grown In the valley, about whicb colonist appear to have no doubt, provided proper care is given to the young trees. Neal P.

Barker, General Manager of the company, resides on the tract, and to his care is to be ascribed much of the success of the venture. Mention should be made of the town-site about which there is pleasant Innovation which might with profit be followed by i ambitious places. A small park of some acres has been laid out right in the center of the town. This park it Is proposed to beautify by planting in it. from time to time as many of the beauties and curiosities of tree and shrub life as may be obtained by diligent Beareb and a wise expenditure of money, ft, Is not expected that Tancred will ever bo a largo and busy city, but it Is thought that it can bo made a very pleasant little plaeo to dwell in.

A petition has been circulated recently id very largely signed, asking the county to accept Island avenue, on the colony tract, as a county road, and to build a bridge across Cache Creek at this point, in order to give the settlers on the east side et" tiie creek Cfict Tancred Station. The Tancred colonists aro quite willing to give the necessary right ol way, and are very desirous of a bridge there, as the colony lands extend along both sides of the stream. It is thought that it uld be a very wise expenditure ot public money to grant them this very necessary improvement, as the operations companies are of widespread benefit to the whole county and State. The attractions and comforts Of the cities arc well known, but to those who are willing to settle on the land and show that the country also affords attractions and comforts and ways of making money pleasantly, every inducement should be held forth. The following Is a list of the principal members of the Tancred Colony, with the number of acres owned by each, and a fact worthy of mention is that in each contract or deed issued by the Colony Oompany there is a provision that no intoxicating liquor shall ever be mauufbetured or sold on the land.

The ap! parent success o-lhe enterprise shows that I the ideas and plans of the colony, as set forth hi the prospectus some time ago, aro not impracticable: C. T. Hull, Berkeley, 5 acres; W. P. Oakland, ll acres; o.B.Kasson, San Francisco.
