THE GOVERNMENT LOSES,

Important Decision Regarding the Southern
Pacific Land Grants.
Los ANGLES, March ca decision has beon
rendered in the circuit court of the United
States in the case of the United States vs. The
Southern Pacific, the court giving Judgment In
favor Of the railroad. The case involvesa large
area Of land claimed by the government to have
been illegally patented to the rail-
road company by reason Of being
embraced in the limits Of the Mexican grant
Of San Jose when the grant to the Southern
Pacific railroad was attached on April 8. 1871
The government also claimed that the consoli-
dltion of the Southern Pacific with other rail-
road companies was illegal, and that the right
to earn the grant by constructing the road
could not pass by an assignment to a CONSOLE
dated company.
Tho court held together in favor OF the rail-
road on the latsGr point but On the former it
was divided, District Judge Rose holding
against the railroad and Circuit Judge Sawyer
in its favor. Where the judges dissent the
opinion Of the circuit judge prevails and le-
cree therefore was rendered against the gov-
ernment J. H. Call, counsel for the govern
ment, at once gave notice Of an appeal to the

A CRANKY LETTER wRITER.

Anonymous Missives OF = Blo0d-Thirsty
Character Resolved by the Police.
Police headquarters has been made the
target Of anonymous letter writers. Some
cranks or some persons who like to amuse
themselves in that way have sent number o:
blood curdling missives TO the detective
Office. The officers are now making inquiries
to ascertain if possible who these people are
with view to prosecuting them if there is any
law under which such prosecution can be
made. The first letter was written several
weeks ago and was left at a news
paper Office. 1t contained insinua-
tions against member Of the detective force
1t was thought at that time that it was prob
ably written by some one who had been ar
rested bv the officer or by the friend Of some
victim Of the Law.
A few days ago another letter was written.
This time the letter was thrown into police
headquarters at an early hour In the morning
and il was directed 10 the same detective.
The letter referred 10 the officer the
"Dr. Cronin detective" aud gave the name of
man, whom II termed a spy, who was 70 be
removed" The letter written on a COM
mon piece OF letter paper and the bold CHI
Biography indicated that 1t had been written by
Q man.
This letter caused the ofhcer TO think more
seriously of the affair although il was his belief
that IL had been written bya crank. This morn
ing Col Moore received letter in the morning
mail purporting to be from Jack the Ripper" and
giving the information that eight more women
were to be killed. The envelope was addressed:
TO Police Headquarters,
Maj. Moore"
The address was in plain hand, as was the
body Of the letter, only the latter's appearance
indicated that the writer was nervous at the
time he wrote the letter. II was as follows:
Dear People:-Wouldn mt you like 20 catch
me. I am Jack the Ripper am going 60 Kill
eight more women before I give up. am in
