WITNESS FEES.
The County Not Liable Therefor In the
Boycott Case.

The County Not Liable Therefor In the
Boycott Case.
In Department One of the Superior
Court an order was made last week by
Judge Armstrong directing the County
Auditor to draw warrant against the
county in favor of V. S. McClatcly for
$l47 70 in payment of the fees OF wit
nesses in the boycott case of McClatchy
VS.. q. w. Mckay and others.
Grove l.. Johnson, counsel for the de-
fendants, entered protest against such
action. and Auditor Johnson concluded
not to draw the warrant until no had laid
the matter before the District Attorney.
Yesterday MIR. Ryan rendered the follow
ing opinion inthe matter:
Frank z. johnson, County 1dudifor-DEAR
SIR: In reply to your official inquiry, the
same involving the question whether it is
your duty to draw II warrant upon the County
Treasury for the sum OF S14I 70, payable to
V s. McClatchy said sum to be by him dis
bursed To ID. luhin, c. II. Gilman, l.. w. Hale
and others Tor expenses as witnesses in at
tending the contempt proceedings in the sSu-
perioBCourt of this county entitled Charlotte
McClatchy ct al VS.. g. w Mckay ct al, and
the further sum OF S12 15 for Constable S
fees in said proceedings, you having been di-
directed to draw said warrant in pursuance of
an order made in said cause by the then Su-
perior Judge j. W. Armstrong, on the Sd day
of January, 1891, respectfully submit that
sdlQ OFNcT uOtS nOb NafIstlib TIC uiaWlnS OF
the warrant for the following reasons:
Section 1929 OF the Penal Code provides as
follows: :" When person attends before a
magistrate, grand jury, or court, as a witness
in q criminal case, upon a subpoena or i'll pur-
Suance OF an undertaking, and ltappearS that
he has come from place outside of the county,
or that he is poor and unable to pay the eS-
pense of such attendance, the Court, at its dis
cretion, if the attendance OF the witness be
upon a trial, by an order upon its minutes, or
in any other case, the Judge at his discretion,
by a written order may direct the County
Auditor TO draw his warrant upon the County
Treasurer in favor of witnesses for reaSona-
Bile sum 10 be specified in the order, for the
necessary expenses of the witnesses"
Clearly under the above section the Consta-
BILE charge is no valid claim against the
county. Neither the order in question nor
the minutes of the court show that the wit
nesses named therein came from place out
side of this county, or were poor and unable TO
pay their expenses in attending said proceed
ing as such witnesses. In the absence of such
showing am of the opinion that the order in
question is insufficient to justify you in draw
ing said warrant.

If You Had a Friend

About to visit some section of country
where malarial disease, either in the form
of chills and fever or bilious remittent
was particularly rife, what would be
about the best advice you could give him?
We viii tell you-to carry along, or pro-
cure on arriving, that potent medicinal
safeguard, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
known throughout malaria plagued re-
gions, here and in other countries, as the
surest means of disarming the miasmatic
scourge, and robbing it otIts fell destruct-
i've influence. Not only does it fortify
the system by increasing its stamina, but
ovcrcomes irregularity of digestion, the
liver and the bowels, and counteracts the
unfavorable effects of over-eXertion,
bodily and mental exposure in rough
weather, or occupation too sedentary or
laborious, loss of appetite and excessive
nervousness. The functions of alimenta-
ton, bilious secretion and sleep have in
it most powerful and reliable auxiliary.

Signal Observer Barwick Submits Some
Interesting Comparisons.
The Signal Service records in this CITY
show yesterday morning to have been
the coldest this season. The lowest tenn
perature for the first time has reached the
freezing point 1922, and this was reached
after A. NJ, at which hour the lowest
was $50. There was, of course, killing
| frost.
The lowest last year was 29o, degrees
below the freezing point. 1t may be that
our lowest temperature for this month is
| yet to come, and it may reach that point
| in q day or SO. Still, a temperature of q
| few degrees below the freezing point is of
no consequence, because it damages
nothing, but on the other hand makes it
| healthier.
| The highest and lowest temperature
| yesterday was 500 and 32o, as against 450
and 30o on the same date last year. The
| highest and lowest one year ago to-day
was 44o and 30o
| There were last January five days upon
| which the minimum or lowest tempera-
| ture recorded was from two to three de-
grees below the freezing point, and three
| OF those days were in successiOn-the Tth,
! Sth and 9Th, and again on the 18th and
| 18th. This month has, so far, been much
! milder than the same month last year to
an equal date.
The barometrical readings at A. NJ.
and p. NJ. yesterday Were 1920 and 30.2l
| inches, respectively, showing high and
| rising barometer, which, If accompanied
| by clear skies, means cold weather.

C. V. Crabtree was, on motion Of Mr..

Several claims for rebates of taxes, in
cluding one from Eli Mayo, were pre-
sented, and after some debate they were
referred to the Assessor for investigation.
Judge Van Fleet called upon the Board
and offered some suggestions in regard to
the selection of jurymen. He preferred
TO have the list come at one time from the
board, instead of members handing in
their selections individually.
Another suggestion was made by the
Judge, and that was that beth himself
and Judge Catlin desired that members OF
the board would not send in for jurors
the names OF men who desired or asked
to be placed on Jury lists.
