A Daring Demand for Money almost
 Within the City Limits.

Last evening somewhat after dark, in the neigh borhood of the hours between and o'clock MT. and Mrs. Roser s. .ern, Miss Beckie Drachmap, Miss Fanny Go.dbaum and MT. Joe Goldbaum, were out horseback ridIug. They rode out some six miles, taking in Silver Lake. On their trip and whilst returning from their ride on their way home near the city limits where the Silver Lake road makes bend, Mir. ard Mrs. Rosenstern who were riding ia advance, were con- fronted by Papago Indian on horse back whilst three other Indians mounted on horses stood in the back ground. The leader demanded money of MT. Rosenstern who, turning his horse aSain-t ihs IndIap's horse, confronted the money demander whilst at the same time tried 10 quiet the fears of hls wIte who was naturally urduly startled by such rude intrusion upon tneir quiet moonlight ride. At this juncture the bslance of the riding party, MT. Gold baum and the ladies, reached the spot where Mr. and Mrs. Rosen5tern were detained, and the gentlemen immedis tely set aboutto define to the would-be road robbers that their demands would not be listened to nor complied with, upon which they hastily withdrew and the ladies and gentlemen of the riding Tarty then rode rapidly into town. It was a good thing for these road depreoators that the gentlemen were unarmed, otherwise the coroner would have been called upon to inGuIre what caused the death of foolish Indian who sought to stop peaceable citizens upon a publ c highway almost within the city limits. The proper officers have been notified and the guilty parties will, no doubt, be apprehended.

Hoods Sarsaparilla
COURT OF LAST RESORT.

| Supreme Court Judges and Their Relations | to the Press-Instances of Leakage" | The justices of the supreme court are ! arbitrary in their dealings with the | press, writes a correspondent of the
 Philadelphia Press. They are usually | courteous as well, but sometimes the
 arbitrarinesS takes an unpleasant and | inconvenient form For example, it is
 very likely that a supreme court jus tice, after reading an elaborate decision ! of some important case, will put the
 manuscript of the decision in his pocket and take it home with him, to the utter confusion of the reporters who are
 vainly waiting for glimpse of it. An
 excurslon to the justices home at night
 usually results in the production of the manuscript, but not invariably.
 The justices of the supreme court ob- ject to having literal quotations made from their decisions, and the clerk, in
 turning these decisions over to the re- porters, absolutely prohibits any literal
 extracts from them Everything that
 the justices say may be put in the re-
 pOrter's own language and told to the public, but until the official report of the proceedings of the court is published
 under the auspices of the court the lan- guage of the decision itself must not
 be quoted, unless special permission is given, as is done in rare cases.
 Charges of leakage of important decisions have been very few-a remark able testimony to the purity of the court. There is little doubt that the Bell telephone decision reached the ears of the speeulatOrs before it was an- nOunced and that the knowledge that the patent would be sustained netted them an enormous sum- There was a general belief that the decision would be in favor of Bell; but the uncertainty about it kept the telephone stock in an uneasy and depressed condition. When the decision was announced it went up with bound and the speculators who had bought heavily on the advance news made enormous profits.
 I believe the facts connected with this leakage have never been given ac- curately. No dishonOr attaches to the name of the justice who wrote the de cision- A member of his household ob- tained surreptitious knowledge of the character of the decision, and the in- formation was furnished to the specu- lators. They paid for it only in prom ises, however. The dishonest parties to the transactiOn-thOse who were near to the justice-did not profit by their perfdy. The price of their dishoaor
 was neeer paid and they were not in any position to make outcry about their disappointment or to demand satisfae- tiOn.
 It is amazing that the secrets of the court should have been preserved so in- violate. It is usually dangerous to trust more than two persons with a secret, and when it is remembered that there are nine of these judges and that the secrets intrusted to them are often of enormous value, it seems wonderful that hardly whisper of scandal has been
 breathed against the purity of the court

SHOT In THE ABDOMEN.
Conductor N, A. Irwin of this City
Probably Fatally Wounded.
He is Shot at Maxwell, Colusa County.
by a Man Named PheIps-The
Cause Unknown.

Word was received at railroad head
quarters here last evening that Conductor
\. A. Irwin, of freight train No. 81,
which left this city at 4:20 O'Clock yester-
day morning, was shot and probably
fatally wounded at Maxwell, Colusa
County, at o'clock yesterday afternoon
by man named Phelps.
Few details could be learned regarding
the circumstances which led to the shoot
ing, but it is said that the affair is the out
come of grudge which has existed be-
tween the men for some time One dis
patch stated that the shooting, according
to rumor, was over woman.
Phelps is drayman, who has lived at
Maxwell for several years. Heis known
by railroad men here and they say that
he is man possessing very violent
temper.
According to the dispatches received
mere the train was just pulling out of
Maxwell when the shooting occurred.
Irwin was standing on the rear platform
OF the caboose and as that car passed the
platform of the station Phelps Shot him.

AUDITOR JOHNSON KICKS.
He Thinks the Supervisors Are Spend
ing Money Too Fast.
Chairman Greer Repudiates the Charge
District Attorney Ryan Comes
to the Boards Rescue.

The Board of Supervisors concluded its
February session Saturday. All of the
members were present, and Mr.. Greer
presided.
Wells Drury, proprietor of the NeUS,
appeared before the board with reference
to his bill of Sill for publishing the
County Treasurer's report. There had
been some question as to the legality of
this bill, as the NeaUS was not ''of age"
when the present schedule of rates for
advertising was adopted. Mr.. Drury,
in addressing the board, said his paper
was now year old and was entitled to its
share OF the printing. He proposed that
a new schedule be adopted, fixing the
rates the same as those adopted last July,
with the exception that the price for
third insertions should be 90 cents instead
of 81.
Supervisor Black offered resolution
changing the schedule as suggested, and
after some debate it was adopted.
This matter disposed of, the board took
up the matter Of the county's finances.
Auditor Johnson was present with his
figures, and got himself disliked by in
sinuating that the Supervisors were try
ing to bankrupt the county. He showed
that there was no money at all in the
general road fund, and several large
bills should be paid out of that fund
There were any amount of bills against
the various road district funds, too, and
no money to pay them with
Chairman Greer said that the idea that
the board had been eXtravagant was a
fallacious one. The work that had been
done on the roads throughout the county
showed that the money had been well
spent. Regarding the payment of the
bills outstanding, the Chairman said they
could easily transfer sufficient money
temporarily from the general county
fund into the general road fund.
The fiery-headed Auditor stormed at
this proposition, however, and declared
that the board had no right to do such a
thing.
District Attorney Ryan, who was pres
ent, was appealed to, and he ruled that
Nh. j Johnson was over-Zealous in his pro-
lection of the county's finances. The Su-
pervisors were the guardians of the funds,
and if they "busted'' the County Treas
ury it was their own look out not Mr..
Johnson's. As long as they kept within
the pale Of the law he had no right to in
terfere.
Mr.. Johnson quieted down after this
and finally consented to arbitrate with
the board. An understanding was soon
reached between them. The Auditor was
formally instructed by resolution to
transfer the money as desired and to pay
the bills referred to.
The board then adjourned for the term.
