FIGHTING FOR LIFE.
An Extinct Commission Appeals
to the Court.

A few weeks before the Buckley Board of
Supervisors passed into oblivion it passed
resolutions declaring its intention to open
and extend Twenty-ffth avenue, Twenty
seventh avenue and New street. Notices of
the boards intention were posted along the
line of the proposed improvement, and on
the 23d of December an order was passed
declaring the streets public aud appointing
A. T. Spots, {. II. Haswell Jr. and John
Doueherty Commissioners to assess the
damages and supervise the work. each at q
salary OF $500 per month.
The new Board Of Supervisors repealed
on January 10Th, the order opening the
streets and appointing the Commissioners
on the ground that the resolution of inten-
ton and the subsequent order were not pub
liShed for five days before final passage aud
were not submitted to the Mayor for his
signature. The repeal of the order is not
to the taste of the $500 per month Commits
SioneTs.
They assert that they have been doing
the work for which they were appointed and
that they would soon com plete 1t were IL
not for the cloud cast upon their authority
by the board. They allege that the board
was not sincere in its intention to yacate the
repeating order, but that it is preparing to
pass another resolution of intention to open
the streets IN question and appoint other
Commissioners.
The original Commissoners-Spot Has
we'll and DOugherty-who are still willing to
serve the city for $500 per month, have
petltiOned the Superior Court for a writ of
review, and that the record of the board 5
proceedings be brought into court, and that
the action of the board in adopting the re-
pealing order be declared an excess Of juris-
diction. The petitioners also ask that the

A LA BLYTHE ESTATE.
WIN Contest Case IavOlvir;g a MilliOl
Dollar Estate.

VIII Contest Case IavoiviEg a Million
Dollar Estate.
Los Angeles has case similar to the cele-
Drated Blythe estate sensation Of San Fran
cisco. The claimant is Nettie Pryor, a
pretty fourteen-year-old girl, who has lived
tnere quietly for years, and now suddenly
jumps into prominence as the claimant to
large estate.
Her claim is regarded as a stronge one, as
she is the child of Miguel Leons. who died
about year ago.
Le0nis left an estate of about 100000,
Including large ranches, city property and a
great number of live stock. This estate he

$4,000 which he left to l. W. IIelman and

OF LeoniS the faithful housekeeper contested
the VIII, alleging that she was the decedents
Wlte and claimed half the estate. This case
Is now pending.
Last week, by her attorney. W. T. WILL
Jams, the Superior Court appointed Ma
tnanlel Pryor guardian of Nettie Pryor
The petition asserts that Nettie needs a
guardian, as she is an heir of Miguel LeOnis,
and her claim must be looked after. Ma
thaniel Pryor is Nettie's stepfather, he hav-
Ing married her mother Librada.
Librada fifteen years ago WAS comely
plump Mexican girl, who found favor in
Miguel Leonis' eyes. and Nettie was
born. Afterward Lbrada married Ma
thaniel Pryor. 1t is claimed now that
Leonis always recognized Nettie as his
child, and that she will have no difficulty in
establishing that fact. According to the
law, if it is proved. she will win tie case.
Even If Espiritu Chyula, the faithful
hOusekeeper," establishes her claim as the
wife of LeOnis. she would only get half the
estate, aud if Nettie proves her identity and
other half. But if Espiritu fails to prove
her claim, and Nettie succeeds, the latter
will take the whole and the other Will be

Troubles of the Koch Family Since Set

The Riverside Press has the following
story of unparalleled misfortune in one fam

The Koch family of San Jacinto have
had terrible time since settling in that
town. Shortly after going there the father
was taken sick and died. After that a
couple of the smaller children were one day
riding burro when another burro came by
and the two animals began to fight. This

has been perfectly helpless ever since. The
next Inflated occurrence was when the
elder daughter, young lady, in lighting a
gasoline stove, by some means caused it to
explode, set fire to her clothing, aud burned
the house to the ground and its contents,
causing loss Of over $4,000, and injuring
the young lady so badly she died. The next
disaster was the burning out of Reinhardt
d Koch on Wednesday, the loss this time
being $500 above the insurance. The old
saying of troubles never come singly" Is

La Grippe Does Not Seem to Follow a

for the month of April states that mortality

an average of 1.57 per thousand per month,

lion heads the list with 164 victims, preu-

had 562 deaths. Oakland u. Los Angeles 62,

The only disease which prevailed extern
sively was la grippe, 1868 cases being re-
ported from different parts OF tho State,
with an accredited fatality CT 10. The
progress of this remarkable ma!ady has
been somewhat eTratic, following no we'll
defined course and requiring no unusual 10
cal conditions for its development, If the
presence Of moisture in some portions of
the State during April is responsible for the
extension of its visit the State board thinks
that it might have b-en expected that San
Francisco, which had unusually heavy April
rains, would have been visited with the
epidemic, but no cases from this city have
been reported. Calico and the Needles are

STATE PROPERTY HELD.
A stableman's Controversy with the San
Francisco Hussars.


Francisco Hussars.
M. j. Mcbride, who keeps a livery stable
at the corner of Suffer and Powell streets,
was tried in the Police Court yesterday on
a charge of violating Section 442 of the
Penal Code. The trouble grew out of the
fact that a private of the San Francisco
HussarS secured charger at the stable for
some parade.
The day after the noble animal was re-
turned to the stable the troops armorer APP
peared to collect the horse-trappings belong
ing 10 the State. Mcbride refused to give
up the saddle and other trappings until S4
had been paid for the use of the horse.
Captain S. p. Blumenberg took hand in
the controversy and swore out complaint
charging Mcbride with having committed
misdemeanor by refusing to surrender State
property.
The stableman's defense was that he had
a right to retain the trappings until the bill
for the horses hire had been paid. Judge
Rix thought differently and ordered him to
appear for sentence this morning.

Editor JF0mdn's Column, Morning Call:
The friendly and temperate remarks made
by S. S. in last Fridays issue of THE CALL
upon the subject matter Of my former and
first letter to this column, have invited me
TO continue my contributions with renewed
interest
must first beg the pardon of S. S. If 1t
should seem that in this and my future let
tiers appear too uDdiplomatic and ungal-
liant in my correspondence TO be considered
friendly, as nothing makes me so tOrgetful
OF the ties of friendship and SO oblivlOuS Of
the respect due to persons Or sex as the heat
of argument
or course, there is no use in discussing
these subjects Of woman's suffrage, woman's
emancipation, wOman's proper sphere In
society, the social, political and industrial
equality Of the sexes. etc, unless con-
illusions can be reached. This Is the purpose
of your correspondent.
In my former letter | denied that woman
had right to an equal voice with man in
the management of the affairs OF State upon
the plea of equal cause, interest and re-
sp0usibiIity. | still maintain that argu-
ment. and reassert that it was the superior
strength, perseverance and intelligence Of
man that led the human race out Of bar
barism TO civilization and enlightenment. In
this rise and progress l cannot find that
woman has taken any part but that Of being
a companion to man.
IN WHICH SHE is EQUAL.
There are some things. however. In which
woman is mans equal, which wish to here
enumerate: She is equally human. She
has equal sense of pains and pleasures. She
has equal ability TO love or hate. This is
all. Upon the subject Of wOman's social,
