1t is stated that the Board of Supervisors
will remove the Office of Superintendent of
Schools TO the room north of the Recorders
Office in the Hall of Records. Surveyor
Nusbaumer has for some time wanted the
room in the Courthouse which adjOins his
office, but is now occupied by the Superin-
tendent of Schoolss but Superintendent
Fisher has, during his terms, successfully
resisted the taking of his room from him.
The rooms in the Hall of Records will not
be gu lite so handy for the lady school-teach-
ers as it will be necessary for them TO 60
upstairs to the second story. The work OF
preparing room for the County Auditor
has been commenced by the cutting OF
de0r into the room on the north Of the
Clerks office. The Offices of County Clerk
and County Auditor have been, until the
recent election, consolidated, but about
three months ago the Board OF Supervisors
segregated them and the separation will
take place on January 1st, when the Auditor
elect Myron Whidden, will take charge.
ON TRIAL BEFORE A JURY.
Michael Dean was tried yesterday in
Judge Gibson's department before jury on
the charge of having assaulted James Kidd
with deadly weapon. The affair happened
at Berkeley on May 10th, when Kidd went
on Deans premises for some water. Dean
struck him on the head with baseball bat
ard broke his right arm, which Kidd as yet
carries in sling. Kidd was once tenant
of Deans, but the house Kidd was living in
was burned, and this had something to do
with making them hostile, because for about
two years they have not spoken. Kidd is an
iIon- holder by occupation, ana OF course he
cannot work in his present disabled condi-
lion.
