Miss sallre PIayed for Even.


NASHVILLE, Feb. 15.-In letter re-
ceived here today from Deputy Collec-
tor c. C. Spears, romantic story is told
Of the capture Or big Illicit distillery
in Monroe County. The capture was
made possible through the jealousy of a
mountain maid, and as the result two
men lie in jail. The story is as follows:
81 Washburn is Clllow Mountain
youth who has been counting Sallie Per-
kins. Some weeks since 81 took Sallie
to country dance, and while there sue
cumbed to the charms of Bessie Biyens,
and danced with her several times,
much to Sallio's chagrin. The girls
had some words over 81, land Sallie de-
termined to get even. The next day
she wrote to revenue officer, whose
address she knew, that she could give
him the locality of big moonshine
still. The officer with two deputies ar
rived in due season, and one night last
week Sallie piloted them twelve miles
across the mountains to her rivals
home. She then gave information, upon
which the officers proceeded, and Sallie
returned home alone.
Deputy Collector Spears and his party
proceeded to large hollow stump in
the corner Of the yard, and one by one
crawled into the opening. They found
themselves in large underground
room, sided up with logs. Two men
were at work making moonshine, and
these proved to be Wash Bivens and
Henry Stevens. They were arrested
and the still destroyed. 1t was of un-
usual size, and one of the most complete
ever found. The smoke was conveyed
to cabin chimney, thirty yards away,
while water was secured from an under
ground stream. 1t had evidently been
in use for years, and would never have
been discovered but for Sallie Perkins
jealousy.

Of these commissioners has re.
ceived but $50 per month since his

he did not give the amount of time this
commissioner was necessarily engaged

better criterion on which to determine
whether this commission has been un-

after Mr.. La Pierce married Mrs. Wood

refreshments changed the gathering
into one OF unrestrained sociability. An

in separate apartments. In addition to
the members of the club Mr.. and Mrs.

HAYES VS.. TIE COUNTY.
JUDGE sHAw,s IMPORTANT DECIs-
ION IN THE CASE.
Some Nice. Points Involved About Tax
Deed Claims-A Case Which Settles a
Number Of Claims.

Judge Shaw of the superior court
Yesterday filed a very important opinion,
overruling the demurrer in the case OF
HAYES vs. Los Angeles county. 1t was
suit growing out of tax.deed claims.
The custom OF the tax collector in this
county has been that when he ascer-
tanned that the sale was based on a
double assessment he would not issue a
deed for the property involved. The
parties then would present demands to
the board of supervisors, who, acting on
the advice OF Deputy District Attorney
Marble, have uniformly refused to pay
them.
At the present time there is nearly
$4,000 OF sach moneys lying idle in the
hands OF the county treasurer. Hayes
brought the above action, based on forty
tax certificates amounting to 1925, which
had been issued to various parties and
then assigned to Hayes. Deputy District
Attorney Marble argued the case before
Judge Shaw ten days ago, and yesterday
the Judge delivered the following opin-
ion sustaining his attitude:
Hayes vs.. Los Angeles county. can
not see wherein this case differs from
that of Loomis vs. the County of Los
Angeles, SO CAL, 456. The amendment
to section 1854 Of the Political Code does
not change its meaning 80 as to alter
the rule laid down in that case. When
that case was decided section 3sO4 pro-
vided chat taxes Enormously or illegal
ly collected" might be refunded. The
above case holds that this did not apply
to money paid as the price of lands pur-
chased at an illegal tax sale. In 1889
the section was amended so az to pro-
vide that taxes "paid more than once
or erroneously or illegally collected"
might be refunded. Any tax paid more
than once is enormously and illegally
collected when the second payment oc-
ours, 30 the additional words add no
meaning to the section.
Besides, the demand, if any there
was, accrued at the time of the tax sale,
which was more than year before the
claim was presented to the board OF su-
pervisors. 1t is therefore barred by the
county government act. The demurrer
to the complaint is sustained.
The decision of the Judge will doubt
less be big surprise to dealers in tax
deeds, as in every other county of the
state the practice on the part of the
board of supervisors has been to refund
such moneys accruing under double as
sessments to the holders of the certifi-
Gates. The case will probably be ap-
pealed,

Good cause appearing therefor and no

Special Correspondence to the HERALD.
SANTA BARBARA, March IL.
Among the arrivals in this tourists
resort, each season brings forth some
thing new in the line of millionaire 8
sons, and sons of others who are not so
rich. They mostly come with the evil
dent thought that the earth was made
expressly for them; that common folk
should stand aside and allow them to
enjoy themselves to their hearts con-
tent, no matter how obstreperous their
conduct may be. They are somehow
impressed that their wealth covers all,
and that propriety is not for them to
consider. They race up and down the
streets on horses that they know little
about managing, and less about riding,
regardless of the imminent peril Ia
which they place little children and
aged ladies. But few days ago little
girl was run over on the beach and
seriously injured. She. was playing in
the sand, little thinking of approaching
danger, when the idiotlc rider rushed
down upon her at full gallop.
At other times few of these reckless
riders partake OF the cowboy spirit,
and HE themselves to the outskirts
of the city, where they surround
some poor unfortunate COW and
endeavor to lasso her. The animal is
run about until completely exhausted,
when another beast is selected. Such
nonsense may be ''real sport" for these
would-be cowboys, but it is very tiresome
to the dumb, yet sensible, brute.
Santa Barbara enjoys the presence of
easterners, in fact, of all who be.
have themselves; but this town is no
kindergarten, adapted for the expres g
amusement of spoiled sons OF million
aires; nor are the little children made to
run over, or cattle kept for the amuse-
ment of foreigners. Cows in California
are made to give milk; they do not
grow on trees, nor are they fshed out OF
the ocean.

Politicians to Revenue Only.

EDITORS HERALD: Referring to a large
class of men interested in politics solely
for mercenary motives we will mentio n
S. B. Elkins, better known in the west
as Steve Elkins of the notorious Santa
Fe land grabbing ring, and now of
President HarrieOn's cabinet as secre-
tary of war.
Elkins, when quite a young man,
made his appearance in New Mexico,
ostensibly to practice law. It was re-
ported that he left Missouri to escape
the consequences of the civil war, his
father having espoused the cause of the
secessionists. In 1862 the territories of
New Mexico and Arizona were invaded
by the confederate forces under
General Sibley. Martial law was
proclaimed, the names of all
suspicious persons were handed to the
provost marshal. Did the arrival of
Elkins in New Mexico have any con-
nection with the advance of Sibley :?
However, after the battle of Valverde
and the total defeat of the confederate
army at the battle of Glorietta, the reb-
els abandoned all further attempts to
maintain foothold in New Mexico and
Arizona, and those territories remained
in undisputed possession of the Union
forces until the close of the civil war.
AS the civil authorities had been COM
pletely starved out of Office by the ope-
rations of martial law, many offices
became vacant. In fact, it was well
known that even in time of peace, ow-
ing to the poverty of the inhabitants,
the offices of United States district at
torney and United States marshal would
not support the incumbents. However
this may be, we find political aspirants
willing to accept Office under adverse
circumstances, among whom s. B. Ell
kins received the appointment OF dis
trict attorney of New Mexico. The
business of the federal courts had been
of but little importance, but under the
administration OF Elkins & Co. was soon
forced to such a degree as to become a
burden to the people by the vast num-
ber of trivial otfenses presented to the
courts; witnesses and jurors by the hun
dreds were summoned, and the public
treasury correspondingly depleted to
meet these extraordinary expenses.
The court business was worked for all
there was in it, and the head workers
soon became opulent.
We next find Elkins & Co. engaged
in the more lucrative business of land
grabbing. Bv doubtful methods and by
intimidation, the widows, orphans land
the more ignorant and imbecile sur
rendered their birthrights to the greed
Of the land ring. Grants 80 obtained
were extended over vast areas of the
public domain by fraudulent surveys,
frequently covering double the quantity
