He Wants 100000 Damages From Kern

Gently tarred and feathered by mob at

Kern county for damages in the sum of
100000, and will also prosecute the men
who assaulted him. He declines to say

jury upon which Harrington was
arrested, lad disappeared. The letter
continues: Lawyer Ahern Q of
Bakersfield went to the Wis
ALA land office. The men there
say it is a base lie; you never an
noyed them. On the other hand you
had fewer contests than some others,
and was a shrewd, safe Investigator.
Ahern told all this last night at the
meeting at Delahio. A reward OF $500
has been offered for the first conviction" "

DUBLIN, Oct. 1O.-When the case
against O'Brien and Dillon, charged
with melting tenants not to pay rents,
was called at Tipperary this.morning,
neither of the defendants was present.
Both are members OF the committee ap-
pointed by the Irish Nationaiists in
Dublin to visit America, for the purpose
Of soliciting aid for the Nationalist
cause. The rumor is current that they
have forfeited their bail of $1,000 each,
in. the conspiracy case, and that they
sailed yesterday from Queenstown for
America.
Later much excitement prevailed in
Tipperary when it became known that
O'Brien and Dillon had abandoned the
defense and left the place. Confrma-
ton of the rumor that they had left the
country. has been received. There is no
confirmation, however, of the report
that they sailed from Queenstown yes
terday for the United States. The in
formation thus far received states that
they did not leave by the ordinary chan
nels OF passage. Their bail will be es-
cheated and paid by the nationalleague.
At the request of counsel for the
crown, a'court certificate of non-appear-
ance was attached to the bail bonds of
Dillon and O'Brien. An adjournment
was then taken to enable the crown to
consider what steps should be taken.
Warrants have been issued for the ar
rest of the missing nationalists.
The steamship companies know moth
ing of the fugitives. Nothing is known
at Queenstown or Moville of their where
abouts. A correspondent of O'Brien's
paper, the Freeman's Journal, sailed
from Queenstown yesterday on the City
Of Berlin, and it is thought Dillon
and O'Brien may have been aboard the
same vessel. Detectives have boarded
the outgoing steamers and searched in
vain for them. They are convinced that
they are already on their way to Amer
lea. 1t is possible they sailed on a
yacht and boarded the steamer outside
Queenstown

SAN Diego. Oct. 10.-Mrs. Fry and
Miss Preston are neighbors in the town
of Perris, on the California Southern
railroad, north OF this city, and they are
parties to suit just ended in the SUI
perior court. Miss Preston has been
given 81, 900 damages against Mrs. Fry
for SANDER. The northern part of the
county has been all torn up over the
matter for several months. Both
parties to thel suit formerly lived
in Kansas. Miss Preston moved to
Perris, and year or so later Mrs. Fry
came to the same town. Very soon re-
ports were circulated which Mrs. Pres
ton did not like. She caused Miss Fry
to be brought before Justice Walter for
the purpose of signing denial. This
Mrs. Fry would not do and repeated all
of her assertions to the judge, although
told not to do so. Suit was therefore
instituted. The defense was that the
Communication to Judge Walter was
privileged communication, but the court
held otherwise.

Why Taxes are High.

.
A large number of persons have been in
town within the last few days from various
sections of the county for the purpose Of
paving their taxes, and in almost every in
stance they do not seem to understand why
it is that their taxes are higher this year
than last
Naturally we are asked 10 explain the
cause. The people have become accustomed
to having their property assessed at a nom
inal valuation: some lands that would bring
on the market as high as ten dollars per
acre, have been assessed ut less than two
dollars per acre, making the tax very light.
But this state of affairs WAS changed at the
last meeting Of the board Of equalization.
These gentlemen decided to raise the val
uation Of all lands at something near the
actual value.
The tax le7y is somewhat less this yeal
than it was last, but with the increased val
uation on real estate the amount coilecte d
by the treasurer will be larger, and will put
a surplus into the treasury that WILL proba-
bly, pay off all the back Indebtedness OF tue
county. Next year with the same assessed
value on lands, together with the increase OF
other property, we see no reason why the
tax levy cannot be considerably reduced,
and the taxes very much lessened.
The county auditor has nothing whatever
to do with assessing the property. He re-
ceives the returns rs made out by the tax.
payers, and at an appointed time he Turns
them over to the mc.bcrS Of the board OF
equalization, who pass upon them and as

pass their judgment upon them they re-
turn the papers to the auditor, VINO places

A Mule Trade.

\ very amusing incident occurred
in this town last week between Mr..
llalisky and Mr.. Weinberg. The lat
ter sold to The former mule for S33,
and alter the bargain was made and
the mule delivered some meddlesome
person called kaliskys attention to
the physical weakness Of the mule.
When this was shown to lam, in Ian
guagc more forcible than polite, he
declared that he would never pay for
the animal. Weinberg attempted to
show kaliSlly the folly of his threat,
but ail to no purpose.
Seeing there was no other way to
settle the matter Mi Weinberg gave
the account to Trial Justice Benbow
to collect, which he proceeded to do
at once Nh. Kalisky, on being ap-
preached by the laws representative,
again expressed himself in very atfec-
tionate language about his friend
Weinberg, and sMorc that be would
never buy another mule from him,
but after giving the matter due con-
sideration, concluded to pay the $50.
Upon receipt OF the money the tr1-
al justice deducted his commissions
for his trouble, and turned the bal
ance over to Mr.. Weinberg, who
thought that as Mr.. Kalisky forced
him to resort to the law to collect bis
money he should also pay the costs
incurred The views of Mr.. Vein
berg We're communicated to MIR. ha-
lisky, who at once sent formal lnvl-
tation to Mr.. Weinberg to go to the
place where the mule would be re-
fused admission, but as there was
nothing compulsory about the invita-
ton Nj. Weinberg concluded to pay
the costs and remain to sell kalisky
another mule.
kalisky says that Weinberg frauted
him nit dot mule, but he got even
with him by making him lose $3.50 Of
his profit on the mule.
