Lazard Again.
[S F. REpoRT.1

Alexander Campbell jr Third Assis- tant district attorney, yesterday hand ed in his resignation and District At torney William $ Barnes accepted it as Mir Campbell assured him that he meant business and was going into private practice.
 It appears that N. B. Lazard whom Campbell recently convicted of em- bezzlement in Judge Richards court circulated story that Campbell had agreed to get Lazard acquitted for $50 but after accepting the $50 he subse- quently demanded $500 saying that il would require that amount to fix the jury.
 District Attorney Barnes immed- lately cegan an investigation, Yester. day in answer to reporters inquiry as to results, MT. Barnes said: "After the most thorough investigation that
 could make without judicial action, I am thoroughly satisfied that MT. Campbell is innocent of the charge and firmly believe that it eminated from Lazard because Campbell prose cuted him for crime and once was a witness against him in civil suit

Justice AlvOrds Co urt.

The trial of the four men charged with assault and battery upon Sanders which created so much excitement last week came off today. It was after noon when jury was secured. Chief of Police Ryan had tussel to get men who would stick, nearly all of them being excused as fast as examin- ed, as being prejudiced. A first class jury was sworn however, and the trial begun. The testimony was conflicting eye witnesses, swearing to directly the opposite facts. The case was given to the jury at 3.30 o'clock. Wm Staehle represented the defendants and Allen English the territory.

THE findings of the jury in the case of the assault upon Juryman Sanders have been published. From the fact that the jury says so we must take for granted that the parties who. were pro nounced SO are the men who are gull ty of. the assault, The penalty amounts to nothing in g mercenary sense, but the lesson should not be lost upon not only those men but others who con- sider their actions practical joke. No class of men have any right to consider themselves above the law and when they do they must expect to hear something drop. There was strong petition signed by most of the busi- ness men and other citizens of prom. thence which was to have been pre-. ssnted to the city council tonight asking that body to raise the monthly license of banking games to $250 per month. We understand now however since the law has proven sufficient, to drop that idea. The proposition of virtually prohibiting gambling goes to show that the great majority of the people look upon it as the root of all evil. The PRosPEcToR does not think it more so than many other "indus- tries" but it may become 50 under certain conditions and it behooves the cooler heads and older brains of the profession to see that the conditions which call for such . last resort do not arise.

It is said that the anthracite coal mines in Sonora will, when a railroad is built to them from Guaymas, supply coal at that port at $4 per ton. The people of California would not object to a reciprocity which would admit this fuel duty free. Cheap coal is the one thing lacking to make California the Pennsylvania of the west, and if it can be had from Sonora the sooner the better. The Sonora anthracite is said to have five per cent more heat than the famous Lehigh article.-S. D. Sun.

One Idea.

ED. PRosPECTOR :-Should the court excuse jurors on account of having made up their minds from what they have read in the newspapersf This ought not to be a reason why they should not be able to give a fair trial. The papers cannot always give the complete evidence.in any case. Much material is withheld from them and their accounts are generally in an un- prejudiced form.
 . The innocent child with the rope and the newspaper reader occasionally enjoy skipping but the juror must take in all the evidence. He cannot skip. He may be hopping mad over the tiresome cross questions but he cannot skip the evidence but must de- eide whether the man is guilty accord ing to the evidence then elicited. This is the common sense view of it.

The Shankland Case.

At one o'clock the court opened with a volley of affidavits from the de- fendant's counsel giving reasons why the trial should not go on. Dr. Sulli- van was instructed to make an exam ination of the defendant and report to the court. In the meantime an easy chair had been furnished the prisoner to occupy. Dr. Sullivan, instead of making report filed an affidavit that the defendant would not allow him to make an examination. Amid the afidavits and protests and arguments of counsel on both sides the judge or dered the clerk to call the jury and the work commenced. A rule was made that one of the qualifications of a juryman should be residence in the territory of six months. turyman after juryman was excused because of the lack of that qualification.
 The sheriff who was an interested spectator, did not relish this, but when the judge remarked that there must have been mistake in summoninp 80 many jurymen not qualified, the sheriff was boiling. He left the court room and went stiff legged down stairs and sought consolation in the bosom of his associate, w. K. Meade He had taken particular pains 10 get jurors whom he thought would be liable to stick from their not knowing anything of the case, In this way a large number of jurymen were not familiar with the case not having lived in the county long enough to become acquainted with either party or to have taken any interest in it. The statute was scanned and no such requirement of juror was found there MT. Meade went up and spoke to the judge about the matter. The latter turned to the statute and then called halt. He told the counsel that there was something wrong about the six months challenge, and the attorneys looked wise. They were apparently taken back and every book and paper in sight was reached for and scanned. It was startling revela- tion to the crowded co lrt room to see judge and exjudge and would-be judges hunting up the qualifications of a juror. One or two ex.members of the 10th and 18th legislature were present and rubbed their hands in glee over their success in making such a successful kaleidoscope of lawyers bible. It was very funny. One juror in the box took one of the counsel for the prisoner at the bar and looked sympathetically at him, which caused the other side to put black mark op- posite his name. Yes sir;it was funny. The decision of the court was that Messrs Kelton and Meade were right and the work proceeded without fur ther excuses on account of length of residence.

The f Street BAPTIST Church Purchase,

The purchase by the Street Baptist Church
Society during the past week of the half square
of ground on street at the corner of 10Th
for $4,000 is the initial step of progress by
this old and conservative body in the line of
the growth of the city and the spirit of the
age. 1t has been evident that this movement
was only question of time, because the people
whom this church could reach were receding
further from the old locality year by year.
That section OF L street is rapidly changing
from residences to Offices and business buildings
The selection is unusually fortunate and desir-
able. 1t is a beautiful northwest corner lot,
100 feet square and the highest ground within
the city limits. 1t is especially accessible by
street cars from all parts Of the city and easily
reached from the growing suburbs. An ele-
ment in the choice Of this location was the fact
that it equ-distant and sufficiently re-
mote from other Baptist churches, being
seven squares each from the First Baptist
Church on the west the Memorial Chapel on
the east and Calvary Church on the south. The
church intends in the near future to erect an
edifice combining beauty and comfort that
shall be creditabie among the public buildings
of the city. Meantime, they retain for use
their old property on street, which is con-
stantly growing in value.
