COUNTY GOVERNMENT.
San Bernardino Supervisors
Cause Trouble.

There is high feeling in San Bernardino
County over questions Of county govern
ment," said Nj. S. johnson of Riverside last
night
Although the question of county diyis-
ion failed to receive the san ction of the last
Legislature, ii is still very live issue, and
strong belief prevails that the next ses.
sion will witnes its Endorsement.
The seeding municipalities include all
the towns in the southern portion Of the
county, which have formed an unofficial
combination against San Berhardiuo. the
county seat. The latter city, recognizing
the probable success of the county division
is It's. proceeded to appropriate all the plums
left hanging within reach.
The question of a new courthouse has
been agitated throughout the county during
the past three years, the present Blu lding
being totally inadequate for its require
ments. Those towns favoring division
have opposed this movement, Directing to
being taxed for the erection of a building
which they should probably never nse
San BernardinO City, however, with view
to capturing all there was in sight, has adj
yocated new courthouse without further
delay.
" At the last election, proposition to is
sue county bonds for the erection of the
new building was defeated, the southern
portion of the county being solid against it,
There are five Supervisors. and majority
of these officials are unwilling to wait for a
new building, and so they passed resolution
by majority vote approDrlatng 100000
for the purpose from the ordinary receipts
of the city.
Two of the Supervisors resigned their
offices after this action to mark their dis
approval. and their places have not yet been
filled. The attention of the Attorney-Gen-
eral of the State has been called to the mat
ter, and he will probably take action against
the three Supervisors who voted for the
court house appropriation"

OUTSIDE LANDS.
A Supreme Court Decision in
the City's Favor.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the
judgment of the lower court in the case of
b. B. Newman against the city. the Bank
of California and many other defendants in
an action to quiet title to certain outside
lands. Newman claims title by possession
prior to the time of the incorporation of the
city in 1856. The case was tried before
Judge Mcguire in 1888, and his decision was
III the city's favor.
The lands in question are on Clement
street and First and Second avenues. New
man claimed that he was in quiet possession
upon and after the city's incorporation.
The lands were part of the public lands of
the city, all the right and title to which
were. by. the act of Congress of March s,
1866, relinquished to the city on condition
that all of the land not heretofore granted
to the city should be disposed of to the
parties holding them on the passage of the
act in such quantities and on such terms as
the Legislature Of the State might pre-
scribe.
The Supreme Court, in giving its decision,
states that the facts alleged in Newman's
complaint do not show that he has any title
to the land he claims therein, and that the
demurrers 10 the complaint were properly
sustained, although he was in the bona fide
occupancy of tire land on March s, 1866, and
was therefore one Of the persons entitled to
obtain title thereto from the city. But the
court holds that he was only entitled to do
so upon complying with the terms pre-
ScrIDed by the Legislature.

California Camera Club Rooms Opened
to the Public.
The first annual prize contest of the Cali
fornia Camera Club was held last evening in
its rooms in the Academy of Scien Build
ing 1t was a success in every way, and if
the fifteen other amateur clubs throughout
the United States that are leagued with the
local club in holding the contest, do as well,
the future of amateur photography is
brighter than it has ever been In the history
of the art.
Last nights entertainment was more than
an exhibit it was honse-warming. There
were present several hundred persons, all
of whom inspected first the 200 prints on ex-
hbitioD, then the enlarging. developing and
Photographic rooms, all of which they found
complete in their equipment. The club
boasts of having the best equipped rooms
in the United States without exception.
After musical programme about $50
stereopticon views were shown. Then came
the awarding Of prizes. III. b. Hosmer was
awarded the first prize of S25 for his print.
'The Old Paper-mill." at Taylorvile; E. l..
Clifford the second prize of SIS for his 'sTer-
ror of the Front" and C. S. Close $40 as the
third prize for his print OF the Reservoir

The club will send copies of every print
exhibited to each Of the other fifteen clubs
in the league, and they are expected TO re-
ciprocate. The clubs rooms will be open

HALE AND NORCROSS.
Judge Hebbard Rules in the
COmpany's Favor.

The Hale & Norcross Mining Company
gained a point yesterday in the suit against
it by NJ. w. Fox, Judge Hebbard ruling
that it was entitled to a continuance until
the issue should be joined under the amend
ment substituting for fictitious names, A.
Hayward, W. S. Hobart, ]. p. Jones, the
Sharon Estate and the Nevada Mill and
Mining Company.
Ex-Judge Mesck argued that the de-
PENDANTS were the trustees OF the property
in dispute. and that their rights were the
same as those of the Directors of the mine
He contended that the case should not be
tried piecemea.
Ex-Judge McKisick, who represented
Fox. urged that if the defendants were
trustees it would be proper to say that rob-
bers were trustees. They were charged
with wrongdoing and the court could say
whether all or one were liable
Judge Hebbard held that the defendants
were entitled to continuance. The case
should not be tried piecemeal and only one
judgment could be rendered. A continu-
ance, he thought, could not injnre Fox and
the defendants were entitled TO the benefits
Of a cr0ss-examination.
The court then postponed further hearing
of the case for one week.

was with much difficulty that Mr.. Thomas assured
her that she mistaken; that it another dye
house on Tenth street. having the same name, that
had burned, but not his-that this was Eleventh

The poor woman almost burst into tears of joy
when Mr. Thomas handed her her dress, thereby
proving his place not burned. She went away

ceved the present from her better half. 1t

State Taxes Must Be Collected at

Some time ago the Attorney General re-

ing and auditing the State taxes under each

respectfully ask your opinion If it is lawful
10 DO so?
The question puzzled the States lawyer.
He searched the records and carefully ex-
amined the laws and the amendments
thereto. Then he gave the matter to his
deputy, Oregon Sanders, to decide, and Or
egon. after becoming intimate with the au-
th0rltles. decided that the city had no right
to collect this commission for collecting its
State taxes. he found that the law which
gave the city this right passed out Of exist
ence in 1861.
Acknowledgement Hart was questioned
about the matter last night, and said that
the city would lose about So, 900 by the de-
cisiOn made by his deputy, which he thinks
is right. He says that last year the city re-
ceived about So. 900 for collecting its State
taxes and this year it would receive about
$4,000.
City and County Attorney burst has filed
an opinion, in which he maintains the city's
right to collect this money, which is a per-
centage on the tax paid by San Francisco.
The AttorneyGeneral thinks the matter
will finally be taken to the Supreme Court.
