Stick In Tia Truth.

Stories have been circulated to the
effect that Mr.. James Usrey lately
hauled in his wagon from Joplin or
Galena to Lowell person who the
next day died of smallpox; that Ed
er d. ID. Boyle (who is holding series
of gospel meetings at the Christian
church) one day last week at Galena
conducted the services at the funeral
of a person who had died of smallpox ;
and that a colored person was ordered
from the Christian church at Baxter.
We desire to say that these stories
are wholly untrue: Mr.. Usrey did
not haul anyone afflicted with small
box from anywhere to anywhere
Elder Boyle has never been al Galena
and has never conducted funeral SER
vices in this county; aud that no
coloPed person has ever been put out
of, nor ordered, nor asked TO go out Of
the Christian church in this city.
We desire TO add that we are now
holding gospel meetings at the Chris
tain church every evening, beginning
at s O'Clock, for your aud for our good.
Do not fear smallpox. II is not there,
but Matt. 1923. All arc welcome.

Pitffu1 Story Told by a Forsaken Wife
and Mother.

and Mother.
Some weeks ago a woman named
Summers-the wife of Samuel
Stirling Summers-was arrested for
disturbing the peace of Yolo farmer
named w. II. Leeman, on street. She
said she was simply demanding some
money due her husband for labor per-
formed on Leeman's ranch. He said she
raised a row because her daughter would
not leave his employ and go with her.
At all events, Mrs. Summers was pro-
nounced guilty by Judge Cravens and
sentenced to the County Jail for twenty
days.
Yesterday she was released, and came
to the RECORD-UNION office with pititul
/ story to relate. She said she discovered
that improper influences surrounded her
! l5-year-Old daughter, whom she had
allowed to work in Leeman's family, and
sought to take her away, but that the
! girl would not, for some reason, leave.
| While in the County Jail she says she
was served with a summons to appear in
/ the Superior Court at Woodland on the
/ Dist Of last month and show cause why
! Leeman should not be appointed
guardian of her daughter; that she
laid the matter before the Jail
| officials, but was refused permits
/ sion to go there, and that, as result, her
daughter was given over to the guardian

Decisions of Lower Courts Sustained
by the Supreme Court.
A Supreme Court opinion in the case of
Leo B. Gardner respondent VS.. Fred.
Straever was filed yesterday in Deputy
Clerk Govan's Office in this city. The
plaintiff brought the action to obtain an
injunction restraining the defendant from
maintaining anobstruction upon public
highway in Butte County. The defend
ant had erected q building which COM
pletely obstructed the road which led to a
slaughter-house owned by Gardner.
The court found that the plaintiff was
entitled to an injunction and the costs of
the suit, and from this Judgment the de-
fendant appealed, but the Supreme Court
atfirms the judgment and says the de-
cision was clearly right.
A PLACER COUNTY CASE.
An opinion was also rendered in the
case of James Keena respondent VS.. the
Board of Supervisors of Placer County.
In 1872, a certain road in Placer County
was laid out and declared to be a public
highway by the Supervisors of the coun-
ty. In October, 1857, the board made an
order that a certain described portion of
the highway be abandoned. In January,
1890, the board made another order that
it's order of October, 1887, be set aside, and
that that portion of the road described
therein be opened for public travel, and
that the Road Overseer proceed immedi-
ately to remove all distinctions.
keena then commenced this proceeding
to obtain writ of review Of the last
named order. The writ was granted. The
court made an order to the effect that the
action OF the board, in entering the order
sought to be annulled, was an especial in
jury to the plaintiff, and that the order
made last was i'll excess of the powers OF
the board, and should be annulIed.
