BOUNDARY LINES AGAIN.

are the City Surveyors Lines Correctly
Established.
The most important case before Judge
Buckley yesterday morning was that of
Ohm Siller and Len siller, charged with a
nisdemeanor in building a fence on Thir-
tenth street. between P and Q, on line
which Street Commissioner Ryan and City
Surveyor Bassett claim encroaches upon
he street. When the case was called
trove L. Johnson appeared for the defend
ats and City Attorney Church for the
TOsecution. Mr.. johnson had already
announced that the defense would be that
he City Surveyors lines were not correct
nd that the fence was built upon the
Orrect line.
Mr.. Ryan, who was the complaining wit
Rss in the case, was engaged in the Board
{ Trustees, but Mr.. Bassett was present.
g asked that the case be continued, in
oder to give him time to make a further
ivestigation and gather proof of the cor
lctness of his surveys. He asserted his
tlief that his lines were absolutely cor
lct, and said that he desired to be in a
Psition to prove it, rs snap judgment had
Ten taken upon him couple of weeks
20 in the Superior Court
Counsel finally agree to continue the case
ntil such time as Mr.. Bassett was ready,
nen it will be taken up and disposed of
This is one of a class of cases which will
owe of deep interest to property-owners
this city. There are numerous in
Ances where the lines of City Surveyor
ASSET do not agree with the lines that
I'VE been maintained by property owners
tmany years, and constant disputes are
aing therefrom. A late decision in the
Serior Court went against Mr. Bassett's
syeys, on the ground that he had estab-
he'd his lines from data which the Court
oided was hearsay evidence.
he City Attorney does not think that a
eninal prosecution in the Police Court is
proper way to settle the question of
hndary lines, but that it is matter
1ch should be brought before the Su-
Ior Court for adjudication,

The Dickens Reading,

There was large audience in attendance
upon the readings of Charles Dickens, Jr,
last evening at the Metropolitan, for the
benefit of the "Howards," but not so large
as it should have been, for while in the
dress circle and parouet all the seats were
sold as reserves, but few occupied the bal
cony seats, although they are quite as COM
Portable. Mr.. Dickens was introduced by
Richard Dale, President of the Howard
Benevolent Society. Mr.. Dickens told the
story of five chapters of David Copper
field and one of Pickwick Papers"
adopting his fathers arrangement of the
text for the rostrum. Mr.. Dickens is not
an accomplished elocutionist; he reads
very many of his sentences so rapidly that
he is understood with difficulty But he
has pleasing voice, possesses the mimetic
quality largely, and has dramatic power
and expression. He certainly interested
his audience thoroughly, and the COM
ments of the people were fiattering to him
and expressive of satisfaction and of an
evening probably and entertainingly

Gala Day at Auhurn.

R. L. Dunn, of Auburn, was in the city
yesterday on business connected with a
celebration which is to take place at Au-
burn on Friday. There are two new hose
companies, one stationed at the depot and
called the Rattlers, and one in the city,
known as Auburn Hose Company No. 2.
The latter company has just received its
new hose cart and is going to celebrate the
event. The fire companies from Grass
Valley, Dutch Flat and Nevada City have
been invited to participate in the parade
which is to take place on that day. Ar
engagements have been made for baseball
game between the Nevada City and Auburn
clubs, shooting match between the Au
burn Gun Club and the Grass Valley
Sportsmen's Club, and grand ball to take
place al night.
Quite large number of Sacramento peo-
pie have signifed their intention to at end
the festivities, ard the Auburn people
promise all a hearty welcome and a good
time. Those who wish to attend only the
celebration in the daytime can go up on
the morning train and come back the same
evening, while those who desire to remain
and attend the bali can reach Sacramento
early in the morning
