To-day Willard Sanders drove the Sidney
yearllng FLY Frou-Frou, owned by Valen-
sin, in 1854. making the mile without a

quarters in 1:5314 and finishing gamely but

POSTMISTRESSES.
Plucky Women Officials Who Obeyed a
Department Order.

PIucky Women OmciaIs Who Obeyed a

A Washington dispatch TO the New York
Herald says: SiXty-one PoStmistresses at
county seats have made reports to the Post
Office Department OF their inspection of
fourth-class Postaffices as directed by Post
master-General Wanamaker. OF these
twenty-nine personally visited the fourth
class offices in their counties, five delegated
the work TO their assistants, and the other
twenty-seven cOrrespOnded with the depart
ment and promptly began the required visi-
tations by correspondence or by proxy.
One Georgia Postmistress suggested an
nual visits. Another reported that many of
the offices were IN country stores and were
not as neatly kept as women would keep
them. An Illinois Postmistcess reported
that not one Of the visited POstoffires was
perfect, not even her own.
An Idaho PoStmistreSs rode "a miles on
horseback to make her inspections and
cheerfully spent $50 in the process. A Ken
tucKy woman went her rounds " it'll horse

at length to the Petrea case as substantial
Ing this doctrine.
RIGHTS OF A GRAND JURY
Justice McFarland-Then. according to
your argument, there is no way TO question
the acts of Grand Jury when it has. once
been sworn by the Court? The Judge
might pick them up in the street himself
and throw over all the rules of law?
Yes, sir" said Rhodes; there ia no
method of questioning Grand Jury except
it is guaranteed by the statute. A defend
ant might as well be permitted to question
the right of the Judge to try him. The
statute provides the grounds upon which
defendant may challenge Grand jury,
and no other can be allowed. Errors may
be attacked on appeal, but in no case Will
they, if found TO exist invalldate the Jury.
Having acquired jurisdiction to impanel
body of this kind, the jury becomes de facto
and must be recognized. That is the law as
laid down by this and other leading courts
of the Fifteenth District Court. where
its title was questioned after years OF
litigation had been had before it.
There the Supreme Court held that
even If tile Judge was not legally IN office
his judgments must be upheld. In the case
of Southwell, and the case OF Welsh, the
Coroner summoned the Grand Jury. In
both cases this was held an error, but the
action of the jury was upheld.
WHAT is AN ELIsoR?
Justice McFarlaud-rhe question seems
to NE to be, What is an elisor? The code
does not say citizen, but an elisor. Now.
what is an elisor?
Justice Beatty-It seems to me that an
elisor is mere chooser. 1t is used in the
generic sense.
Rhodes closed with a discussion of the
definition Of an ellsor, in which he reached
the definition given by Justice Beatty.
Campbell concluded the argument by
challenging the other side to show a single
adiudicaed case in the United States where
a Grand Jury impaneled by al elisor has
been upheld.
Garrett w. McEnerny asked to be heard
for moment He said lie had client, un-
der Indictment by this Grand Jury, and he
wished, in his behalf, TO submit PROPOSE
ton. Permission was granted, and he went
on to claim that Judge Wallace never ac-
Quired jurisdiction to draw this Grand Jury.
because Section 204 of the Civil Code of
Procedure, under which the names are au-
thoriZcd to be put in the box, is unconstitu-
tional. Under the third subdivision of
Article " OF the Constitution that section
provides that no special or local laws shall
be passed in reference TO drawing juries.
Section 204 provides that in San Francisco
the Superior Judges shall provide the names,
while in all other counties it shall be done
by the Supervisors. He cited a number of
decisions TO support his theory
The matter was then submitted.

LITIGATION in the Property Clerks Office at
police headquarters.
Moran's method Of pilfering 1t has been
since learned was somewhat original. 1t
appears that he is a good machinist and
knows the value of tools. He would secure
work at the various large machine-shops
and hold his job for some time, but on his
forming connection with the shops tools
they would at once commence to mysteri-
ously disappear, and when affairs got to
such a condition that the strctest suryeil-
lance was maintained. Moran would dis
appear also. only to bob up in another work
shop.
Machinists generally place their names or
initials upon their tools, but such small
thing had no lettering effect on Moran, for
as soon as he fiiched the tools he would
erase the mark of ownership with file.
1t appears from inquiries made since his
arrest that Moran has been employed in the
majority of machine-shops in and around
San Francisco. He has rather progresses

HELPED HIMSELF.
A Clerk at the Baldwin Off With
the Hotel Money.

Fred Dexter. who has been employed for
some months as clerk at the Baldwin, left
on Saturday for Fresno to spend few days
in shooting quail. AFTER his departure it
was discovered that $500 had been taken
from the office safe. AS Dexter, whose sal
airy was only $50 per month, has been living
far beyond his means for some time. and as,
before leaving, he ordered champagne and
other luxuries IN lavish quantities, for all his
friends, suspicion soon connected him with
the shortage.
Dexter is brother of the late Mrs. Bald
win, but when the matter was reported to
the hotel proprietor he at once cOmmuni-

ever. that upon reflection Mr.. Baldwin re-
GREETED his hasty course, and it is said that
he is now anxious that the proceedings
against his brother-i n-law should drop.
Dexter is still absent from the hotel, and
the officials. presumably acting under in
structons, protested last night to be in
ignorance OF the whole matter. -

FRESNO, Nov. 16-'rhe Selma Irrigation
District voted to-day on the question of
Issuing bonds in the sum Of $500, 900 to pro-
vide an irrigation scheme under what is
known as the Wright law. The district
comprises the greater portion of Fresno
County between this city and the southern
boundary OF the county and running east to

the northern boundary of Tulare County.
Early IN this year the same district voted
on the question of Issuing 81 ,OOO, 900 of
bonds. and the district voted no with an
overwhelming majority. Special kilograms
tonight to the Republican indicate that the
bonds are again defeated, but with less ma
1ority. There are seven election precincts.
The four largest Selma, Fowler, Kings
Dury and Sanger-give total of 419 votes
IN favor Of bonds and 544 against. The
other three precincts will probably increase

was possible TO overcome all objections
raised excepting one, and that objection was
by newspapers of tho East. They think it
would be impossible to get adequate tele-

INDIANS AS SOLDIERS.
Serious Fights Among Apaches With til
Troops in Arizona


Troops in Arizona.
PRESCOTT, Nov 16. - The troops sta
toned at Whipple Barracks were paid off
two days ago. Among those stationed here
IS one company of Apache Indians, and the
fact of their being clothed in uniforms of
the United States soldiers seems to enable
them to secure all they want TO drink. The
result has been that during the past two
nights there have been numerous fights. At
one time it seemed as if serious trouble
would occur, as the Indians broke for their
arms and ammuniton- and were only pre-
vented with difficulty from obtaining them.
Had they succeeded in getting them there is
no telling what the result would have been.
During the fight one white soldier had his
leg broken and several Apache soldiers were
more or less hurt. Seven Apaches are in
the guard-house and nearly as many more
Apaches and white soldiers are in the hos
pital. Although the experiment of enlist
ing Indians Is reported satisfactory to the
War Department, sigh of relief goes up
