tween the east corner of said fence and
the mountains, for o distance of two
miles, it continues in direct course
over smooth, open plain. Near the
road, within half mile OF the "rich
rancher," in full view of every traveller,
there stands the foundation OF one of
the old boundary iron monuments,
erected by the commissioners of the
government in 1852. Every school boy
knows that the boundary line between
the two countries is not a "zigzag line,"
but staight line.
Evans's entire report, from beginning
to end, is one of the most brazen false
hoods ever published. He should be
compelled to substantiate the truth of
his Infamous charges, or be removed
from his Office.
His character and official record should
be investigated, and California's repre-
sentatives in Washington City should
see that 1t is done. He has willfully, in
this report, betrayed the government
whose confidential agent he is and as
sisted an official in retaining his posi-
ton, in which he is dangerous to the
welfare of San Diego and to the peace of
the United States government.
1t is truthfully said that one enc my
in your camp is more to be dreaded than
fifty outside of it. John R. Berry's
course since becoming citizen OF San
Diego has shown him to be an enemy to
her best interests. On assuming charge
OF the San Diego Union, he commenced
a series of virulent attacks upon the
best citizens of this place-apparently
from no cause except it may have been
"The stinging of heart the world had
stung." When defeated for the office of
mayor, every prominent man, whether
private citizen or public official, who, in
the exercise Of his prerogative of voting
as he pleased, had cast his vote against
Berry, was attacked in his paper. Since
his retirement from the Union he has
continued his malicious articles over an
assumed name.
He now caps the climax by having
San Diego published to the world as
hot bed of criminals, her most promi-
nent citizens and municipal officers in
league with law breakers and thieves.
How long shall San Diego suffer this
fire-brand, this incubus amongst them?
There is point where forbearance
ceases to be virtue. Let San Diego
arise and epew this Jonah from her!

WADE STILL FIGHTING.
HE ISSUES ANOTHER ORDER TO
SHERIFF. GIBSON.
His First Order Knocked Silly by the
Supreme Court-The Judge. However,
Comes up Smiling for Second Round.

Judge Wade has deserted his quarters
in the Murietta block, and there will be
no session of department three until
the sheriff provides suitable room
for him. Deputy District Attorney
Waldo M. Yorke went to San Francisco
about ten days ago and knocked Judge
Wade's order to Sheriff Gibson silly.
Mr.. Yorke was armed with big brief,
which he presented to the supreme
court on the day set for hearing on the
writ of prohibition issued against Judge
Wade through the efforts of District
Attorney McLachlan and the board of
supervisors.
Judge Wade was cited to appear and
show cause why the writ of prohibition
should not be made permanent. He
did make an appearance, though not in
person, but the brief prepared by Mr..
Yorke was too much for the Judge.
While the decision of the supreme court
has not yet been handed down. it is
generally understood that permanent
writ of prohibition will be granted.
This, it was thought, would be the
end of the matter, but Judge Wade
started the ball rolling again by making
the following order which was served on
Sheriff Gibson, but does not appear on
the minute book of the court:
1t appearing to the undersigned, Judge
OF the superior court in and for the
county of Los Angeles, state of Califor-
MIA, in department. three thereof, that
no suitable court room for holding the
| sessions of department three of said
court and chambers for the Judge there
| OF, have been provided by the board OF
supervisors OF said Los Angeles county,
| together with the attendants, furniture,
! fuel, light and stationery sufficient for
the transaction of business; that the
sheriff of Los Angeles county is hereby
directed and ordered to provide such
rooms, attendants, furniture, fuel,
! lights, stationery, and report the ex-
pense thereby incurred to the Judge of
| this department
WILLIAM P. WADE,
Judge of the superior court.
Judge Wade made the order above
| quoted for the reason that the room in
the Murietta building is permeated with
odors which arise from restaurant To-
Gated on the first floor. These object
ionable smells have annoyed the court,
clerk, attorneys and jurymen for some
time, and upon the attention of the
board of supervisors being called to the
nuisance an investigation was made,
with the result that promises were
promptly forthcoming to make improve
ments whereby the nuisance would be
abated, but this has not been done, and
Judge Wade will not hold court until
other quarters are provided.
Judge Wade will take Judge Clark's
place in department two the coming
week. The law and motion calendar of
department three will be called tomor-
row afternoon in the court room of de-
partment two.

THE WHITTIER SCANDAL.
What Is Thought of the Whitewash-
ing Report Elsewhere.

The majority and minority reports of
the Los Angeles grand jury confirm the
rumors that the building and furnishing
of the Whittier reform school have been
accompanied by jobbery and corruption.
The majority report gives every one
concerned coat of whitewash OF such
thickness that it would in itself excite
suspicion. In connection with the mi
nority report, which is signed only by
the foreman of the grand jury, General
Bouton, and one of the jurors, the sus
picion becomes more definite.
The facts on which the investigation
was based tended to show that the trus-
tees of the school had paid excessive
prices for supplies. let contracts to fav-
ored bidders at their own prices, and
purchased articles not needed, with an
extravagant disregard for honesty and
economy From the statements cur
rent it would appear that the grand
jury made only the most sighting in
vestigation of the charges. Ii the wit
nesses who could tell the truth were ex-
amined, it must have been the main OBJ
iect OF the majority of the jurors to
avoid listening'to to their testimony.
The facts that we're brought out, how
ever, were damaging enough to demand
the indictment of more than one per-
son. They were enough to lead to the
stealing Of the experts report and rec
ord OF testimony in the case from among
the grand jury papers. This step would
indicate the existence of u gang OF
boodlers in the control OF county affairs,
and desperate enough to stop at moth
ing.
suppressed and stolen report in ite news
columns this morning, and asks the
people of the state to give it careful
perusal.
The results of fair investigation by
men who were not connected with the
boodlers, if such could be held, are in
dicated by the minority report that the
foreman OF the grand jury had the
courage to write and one of the jurors
the independence to sign. That report
sums up the matter in the following
words: 1.-THE foregoing report regarding
the Whittier reform school was adopted
by majority OF the grand jury, but
am of the firm conviction that it does
not represent the facts as proven, but
quite the reverse. I think the facts
fully Justify the statement that proof is
easily attainable tending to show con-
clusively that the purchase OF the 120
acres of land was not an honest,
straightforward business transaction
that the contract for building the main
building and factory was not let to the
lowest bidder, and that extravaganza
and dishonesty have been prominent
characteristics of the management OF
the Whittier reform school from it's first
inception"
General Bouton did not hear evidence
that the rest of the jerry were shut out
from. That the majority could ignore
evidence justifying this language shows
that Los Angeles b the same kind Of q

TERRIBLY MANGLED.
JAMES BROWN CRUSHED TO DEATH
YESTERDAY.
Caught Between the Gable and the
Sheave Wheel-How the Accident Oc-
curred-Evidence at the Inquest.

A fearful accident occurred yesterday
morning at about O'Clock at the west
ern terminus of the Temple street cable
road. James Brown, an employee of
the company, was caught between the
cable and the sheave-wheel, down in the
pit, and was mangled to death. Just
how the affair occurred no one knows,
for the body was not found until prob
ably half an hour after the accident
happened.
1t is probable that Brown, who was
acting az oiler in the place OF the regular
man, H. S. Williams, and was not ac
customed to the work, went to the
terminal wheel at z o'clock from his
home, on Wheaton avenue; that he
crawed into the man hole to oil the
wheel, and, having his sleeve caught b7
broken strand of the cable was
dragged around the circumference of the
wheel between its groove and the rope.
At about 7 80 O'Clock IL. w. Evans, a
gripman running train to the west
end found the man-hole open, and
looked in to see what was going on. He
was Mortified to see Browns head
caught in the wheel, and his manged
body revolving with it. He telephoned
to the cable house to stop the rope
but could not make them understand.
In the meantime second train came
out. and Gripman ]. Ayles managed to
advise the cabe-house people by tele-
phone of the horrible occurrence The
cable was stopped, and Evans, Ayles, H.
E. Wagner of the Peoples store, and
Caleb A. Ensign, who lives little be-
yond the terminus, extricated the body
of Brown. 1t was found that the right
arm was torn off above the wrist, and
that the head had been badly crushed
by being dragged against the timbers
and pulley. A number OF bones were
also broken, and tissues badly bruised.
Death must have been almost instan-
taneous. Coroner Weldon was at once
notified and the remains were taken to
Orr 4 Sutch's undertaking rooms, where
an inquest was held at Ii O'Clock. The
persons mentioned above testified before
the jury to the facts of the case as here
stated. The other witnesses were Will
liam Beatty. James Krown's father-in-
law, who testified to decased's identity;
I'll. G. Williams, the regular oiler, who
described the place where Brown was
killed, and F. w. Wood, manager of the
Temple street cable road. who testified
to the length of time deceased had been
employed on the road and to the ex-
perience he had had with the machinery
he was trying to oil when he lost his
life.
The jury in few minutes returned
verdict that deceased came to his death
by accident.
James Brown was So years of age, and
was native of Paisley, Scotland. He
was taken to America by his parents
while child, but he did not come to
the coast until about six years ago.
During the last five years he has been
employed as a sweeper, trackman and
repairman on the Temple-street line.
His son was for several years an in
spector in the street superintendent's
department. The deceased left his wife
and six children. He was member OF
Frank Bartlett Post, G. A r., and will
be buried under the auspices of this
post at 2 o'clock this afternoon from
Orr & Sutch's.

year thev had reached over $1,000, and
the cornerstone of the main building
had just been laid, and the state board
of examiners, fearful lest the appro-
priation would be absorbed in travel
ing expenses, began cutting down the
bills.
The total amount paid for the travel
ing expenses of the trustees, superin-
tendent of construction, clerk of the
board. Architect Young and legal ad-
wiser Damron, from the time of the or
ganization of the board until August
2Sth of this year, amounts to $10,545.
This includes charges for telegraphing,
telephoning, postage and carriage and
hack hire; some of these are genuine
outlays, and others are not.
THE PERSONNEL OF THE JURY.
The report filed by the grand jury has
led many persons to inquire the names
OF those who composed the honorable
body. The jury consisted OF the follow

y fertile source of this practice has been the
frequent spasmodic accumulations of stock at

these stocks, and it is limited that this will be
