Charges of Fraud by the Widow of the Deceased Partner. The firm of Sisson, Wallace & Co. has long borne a reputation for being one of the most influential mercantile houses on the Coast. In October, 1881, it consisted of Albert . Sisson, William H. Wallace and Clark W. Crocker. The business consisted chiefly in dealing in goods used and consumed by Chinese laborers in this State. The main place of business was in San Francisco, but branch stores wers operated in Yrackee and at other places along the line of the Central Pacific,Southern Pacific, and Galveston, Houston and San Antonio railroads, On October 2, 1881, Wallace died, leaving as his sole heirs Emeline Wallace his widow, Cora A. Wallace, afterward Cora A, Herzstein, and William H. Wallace, his children, Last week Mrs. Wallace brought suit, alleging that upon the death of her husband, Sisson and Crocker assumed entire management of the firm’s property, with the consent of Mrs. Wallace. At first they were anxious to have their partner’s wife to continue in the business, and upon their earnest solicitation she consented. In January, 1882, a sudden change came over them and they gave out that the business was not doing what it promised to do and offered to purchase their deceased partuer’s share in the firm property. Believing that they were acting in good faith Mrs, Wallace finally consented to sell, Accordingly, statements and balance sheets of the condition of the firm’s finances were made out, showing that the property was worth $153,748.20, exclusive One third of that sum was paid to Mrs. Wallace., She demanded a sum for her husasks for an accounting, with damfirm, She further alleges tions were made to her to sell,Sisson that the business of the firm for the and lucrative. That in order to defraud her and her children’ of her its, they conspired with Milo A. Burke, Robert A. Wilson, Samuel M. Cutter and George W. Scott, who were confidential employees of the firm, to form a new firm under the name of Sisson, Crocker & Co., to whom all the business of the old firm should be directed; that in June, 188l,acontract wasentered into with the Pacific Improvement Company or the Southern Development Company, which was then engaged in constructing the Southern Pacific Railroad in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, whereby 1,800 Chinamen were imperted from China to work upon the road. She alleges that the contract netted profits to the amount of $150,000. It is further alleged that a short time before Wallace’s death, other contracts were entered into which realized profits amounting to:$150,000, onethird of which had reverted to him had he survived. Also that the balances, statements, etc,, made by defendants at the time of the sale were false, and executed with intention to defraud: The case has been assigned to Department No. 4 of the San Francisco Superior Court for trial. Sunday School Entertainment. . The annual concert of the Congregationol Sabbath school was in every way a success. The church was crowded and the exercises creditable. The superintendent’s report showed the school to be in a prosperous condition numerically and financially, there being 247 teachers and of nearly 200. Valuable weekly and monthly publications are taken for the benefit of the teachers and acholars. The platform and the blackboard which was called into requisition were beautifully decorated with flowers and ivy. The programme although not so elaborate ason former years gave abundant satisfaction. o<+-= Te be he ies aed sae Drifting. L. Garthe has "purchased of the heirs of R. R.

He Mourns for the Spring that _ ‘Sprang a Leak (Tidings. In the early purer days of Nevada City, when that burg had the honor of having this notary for a resident, there was a bubbling spring at the foot of Broad street, just east of the bridge across Deer creek. The water was almost ice old, and came out of the granite rock and was therefore pure as water that has not been double distilled can be. In those good old days the men folke used to go to that spring and drink water and sit around and talk about there being ‘‘nothing as good for the youthful blood as pure and sparkling water.” fIanth Rolfe, Budge Tower, G. von Schmittburg, John Anderson, Zeno Philosopher Davis, Dave Belden, Niles Searls, Ike Williamson, once in a_ while Old Blaze, Nat Brown (powerful seldom), Charlie Kent, Doc Hunt, Henry Meredith, Wilson Hill anda whole lot of other then young fellows would go to the spring and drink water and talk to each other about how good, healthy (Doc Hunt would file a demurrer), and happy the world would be if every family on the globe had just such wateras that spring furnished. That spring has now gone dry. Somebody in its neighborhood tapped the water vein with a well or tunnel and the spring isno more. The spring has been dry more than a month before any of the modern residents of Nevada City discovered the faet. The moderns of that city are not water drinkers as were those who dwelt in Nevada City in those earlier days, We grieve to say that the temperance organizations do not seem to be doing good work in Nevada City. Strange to say that when tha spring was popular there was but one temperance sodiety in Nevada City, the} Sons of Temperance, and that. had no more than half a dozen members, Satin Text Books Adopted, The County Board of Education met yesterday, all the members being present, and proceeded to open the bids for text books to be used in the public schools ef the county during the next four years, beginning July lst, In the line of readers proposal were received to furnish Lippincott’s, McGuffey’s Eclectic, Bancroft’s, Swinton’s and Appleton’s. At the outset Messrs. Carr and Byrne were in favor of Bancroft’s; Messrs, Bulfinch and Tiffany wanted Swinton’s, and Mr. Potter’s voice was for Appleton’s. Thus they voted three times, but on the fourth -ballot Mr. Potter changed to Swinton’s, which was adopted. Swinton’s cost an average of 14 cents per book more than Bancroft’s and they are manufactured in the East, while Bancroft’s are purely a California production, edited by our own educators and made by workmen who are a part aud parcel of our own commonwealth. Itisa mece matter of personal vpinion as to the literary merits of the twe works, for they are both first-class in all, respects, To be sure, the Swinton series contains a few more pages, but we%think the average California parent would be williag to overlook this fact, especially when it appears that Bancroft’s are mueh less costly to the already overtaxed people who have to pay for the schoolbooks, and again when it is remembered that by the adoption of them the money is kept in tiie State. At the evening session the following additional books were adopted: Monteith’s Georgraphy. Barnes’ History. ‘Swinton’s Spellers, ryant & Stratton’s Book-keeping. Robinson’s Algebra. Reed & Kellogg’s Grammars. Payson, Danton & Scribners penmanship. Bartholomew’s Drawing. Swinton’s Grammar and Composition. Henderson’s Test Spellers. be ——~o—— Habeas Corpus Case. Joseph Kneebone, a rancher living in the lower part of the county, was brought to theCounty Jail yesterday, he-having been bound oyer by Justice Walker of Spenceville in the sum of $250 to keep the peace towards Henry A. White. It is charged that Mr. .Kneebone tore down a fence built on the line between his property and Mr. White's. Upon his arrival at the county seat he at once made application before Judge Caldwellfor a writ of habeas corpus. The application was argued in the afternoon and granted. —_—_——oOo——— A Caseof Mistakea Identity. Assemblyman Walrath, of Nevada county, has been absent from his place in the Capitol some days recently. An explanation may » be found -under the head of ‘‘Born.” The “‘explanation” referred to by’ the Bee is the nutice of a daughter being born to A. H. Walrath whois a nephew of the Assemblyman Walrath, the latter’s only : baptismal name being Austin. His absence from his place in the Legislature is accounted for by.the fact that he -was attending the Republican State Gesrsation +4 Cable’, sus a gia for June 3d. t Superior Court.

Watt et al, Court. A. Dispute Over a Mining Claim. J. 8. Thompson and Orrin Gowell, the latter representing the Manzanita Mining Company, had a controversy yesterday as to the ownership of a mining claim in the bed of Deer creek a short distance above the Main street bridge. The Company claim the right to work the ground by having purchased it from Mrs, Williams, while-Mr. Thompson, who has part of it fenced in, says the property belongs to him. Struck Pay Ore. Superintendent Ayers, who a short time since put a force of men at work in the Norway mine on Big Canon creek seven miles above Washington, writes down that they have struck some free gold ore that looks first-rate.

Believing that they were acting in good faith Mrs, Wallace finally consented to sell, Accordingly, statements and balance sheets of the condition of the firm’s finances were made out, showing that the property was worth $153,748.20, exclusive One third of that sum was paid to Mrs. Wallace., She demanded a sum for her husasks for an accounting, with damfirm, She further alleges tions were made to her to sell,Sisson that the business of the firm for the and lucrative. That in order to defraud her and her children’ of her its, they conspired with Milo A. Burke, Robert A. Wilson, Samuel M. Cutter and George W. Scott, who were confidential employees of the firm, to form a new firm under the name of Sisson, Crocker & Co., to whom all the business of the old firm should be directed; that in June, 188l,acontract wasentered into with the Pacific Improvement Company or the Southern Development Company, which was then engaged in constructing the Southern Pacific Railroad in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, whereby 1,800 Chinamen were imperted from China to work upon the road. She alleges that the contract netted profits to the amount of $150,000. It is further alleged that a short time before Wallace’s death, other contracts were entered into which realized profits amounting to:$150,000, onethird of which had reverted to him had he survived. Also that the balances, statements, etc,, made by defendants at the time of the sale were false, and executed with intention to defraud: The case has been assigned to Department No. 4 of the San Francisco Superior Court for trial. Sunday School Entertainment. . The annual concert of the Congregationol Sabbath school was in every way a success. The church was crowded and the exercises creditable. The superintendent’s report showed the school to be in a prosperous condition numerically and financially, there being 247 teachers and of nearly 200. Valuable weekly and monthly publications are taken for the benefit of the teachers and acholars. The platform and the blackboard which was called into requisition were beautifully decorated with flowers and ivy. The programme although not so elaborate ason former years gave abundant satisfaction. o<+-= Te be he ies aed sae Drifting. L. Garthe has "purchased of the heirs of R. R.

He Mourns for the Spring that _ ‘Sprang a Leak (Tidings. In the early purer days of Nevada City, when that burg had the honor of having this notary for a resident, there was a bubbling spring at the foot of Broad street, just east of the bridge across Deer creek. The water was almost ice old, and came out of the granite rock and was therefore pure as water that has not been double distilled can be. In those good old days the men folke used to go to that spring and drink water and sit around and talk about there being ‘‘nothing as good for the youthful blood as pure and sparkling water.” fIanth Rolfe, Budge Tower, G. von Schmittburg, John Anderson, Zeno Philosopher Davis, Dave Belden, Niles Searls, Ike Williamson, once in a_ while Old Blaze, Nat Brown (powerful seldom), Charlie Kent, Doc Hunt, Henry Meredith, Wilson Hill anda whole lot of other then young fellows would go to the spring and drink water and talk to each other about how good, healthy (Doc Hunt would file a demurrer), and happy the world would be if every family on the globe had just such wateras that spring furnished. That spring has now gone dry. Somebody in its neighborhood tapped the water vein with a well or tunnel and the spring isno more. The spring has been dry more than a month before any of the modern residents of Nevada City discovered the faet. The moderns of that city are not water drinkers as were those who dwelt in Nevada City in those earlier days, We grieve to say that the temperance organizations do not seem to be doing good work in Nevada City. Strange to say that when tha spring was popular there was but one temperance sodiety in Nevada City, the} Sons of Temperance, and that. had no more than half a dozen members, Satin Text Books Adopted, The County Board of Education met yesterday, all the members being present, and proceeded to open the bids for text books to be used in the public schools ef the county during the next four years, beginning July lst, In the line of readers proposal were received to furnish Lippincott’s, McGuffey’s Eclectic, Bancroft’s, Swinton’s and Appleton’s. At the outset Messrs. Carr and Byrne were in favor of Bancroft’s; Messrs, Bulfinch and Tiffany wanted Swinton’s, and Mr. Potter’s voice was for Appleton’s. Thus they voted three times, but on the fourth -ballot Mr. Potter changed to Swinton’s, which was adopted. Swinton’s cost an average of 14 cents per book more than Bancroft’s and they are manufactured in the East, while Bancroft’s are purely a California production, edited by our own educators and made by workmen who are a part aud parcel of our own commonwealth. Itisa mece matter of personal vpinion as to the literary merits of the twe works, for they are both first-class in all, respects, To be sure, the Swinton series contains a few more pages, but we%think the average California parent would be williag to overlook this fact, especially when it appears that Bancroft’s are mueh less costly to the already overtaxed people who have to pay for the schoolbooks, and again when it is remembered that by the adoption of them the money is kept in tiie State. At the evening session the following additional books were adopted: Monteith’s Georgraphy. Barnes’ History. ‘Swinton’s Spellers, ryant & Stratton’s Book-keeping. Robinson’s Algebra. Reed & Kellogg’s Grammars. Payson, Danton & Scribners penmanship. Bartholomew’s Drawing. Swinton’s Grammar and Composition. Henderson’s Test Spellers. be ——~o—— Habeas Corpus Case. Joseph Kneebone, a rancher living in the lower part of the county, was brought to theCounty Jail yesterday, he-having been bound oyer by Justice Walker of Spenceville in the sum of $250 to keep the peace towards Henry A.

Upon his arrival at the county seat he at once made application before Judge Caldwellfor a writ of habeas corpus. The application was argued in the afternoon and granted. —_—_——oOo——— A Caseof Mistakea Identity. Assemblyman Walrath, of Nevada county, has been absent from his place in the Capitol some days recently. An explanation may » be found -under the head of ‘‘Born.” The “‘explanation” referred to by’ the Bee is the nutice of a daughter being born to A. H.
