Cases in the Supreme Court.

In the Supreme Court at San Francisco
yesterday, in the case of A. D. January VS..
Van Fleet, Judge, ETC., the motion of Carey
for respondent was to vacate and set aside
the order made May %, 1886, and to sub
NIT the case upon the pleadings, argued by
Carey for respondent and Edgerton for pc
titioner, and the motion denied
The Court on Monday rendered a deci-
sion in the case of Red Jacket Tribe, Imp.
Order Red Men of Sacramento VS.. J. A.
Gibson ct al, appealed from JudgesMcFar-
lands Court, where, some months ago,
judgment was rendered for plaintiff. The
suit grew out of Gibsons persuading Fred
Dustman and n. S. Bennett, two of the
Trustees of the Tribe, to invest, without a
formal meeting of the Board of Trustees,
81 800 of the Tribes money in certain real
estate which Gibson, who was Treasurer of
the Tribe, owned, and in consequence of
which the Tribe was in danger of losing
much of the money. Judge McFarlands
order set aside the transaction, as the Trus-
tees had no authority to invest the money
in the manner they did, nor, in fact, to in
vest in land at all. 1t will be remembered
that Dustman, who was a letter carrier,
well known in the city, became worried
over the matter at the time OF the trial, and
committed suicide, presumably in conse-
quence oft. The Supreme Court affirmed
the judgment and order of the Superior
Court

Gave Up the Contest.

At an election for Trustee of Walnut
Grove School District some time ago, ]. w.
Gleason and Sperry Dye were candidates,
and, on account of the ballots, it was found
that Dye had received four more votes
than his opponent. The latter claim d,
however, that several of the votes cast for
Dye were illegal, and that he was not en-
titled to the office. 1t resulted in a suit be-
ing brought by Gleason against Dye in the
Superior Court, but this was yesterday
dismissed on stipulation, defendant to pay
costs, Dye declining TO go on with it fur
Their, as he said he could not afford to spend
a considerable sum in an endeavor to get
profitless Office. There was much feeling
in the district over this election, it being
virtually a fight between the friends and
opponents of the teacher Miss Della
Manning, and her religious views were dis
cussed during the contest. Mr.. Dye was
