Since that date it has changed hands
many times till eight years age, when Cap

chased the house and lot, consisting Of 30
feet frontage and so feet in depth.
The owner has been unwilling 20 spend

Not content with this. they commenced
breaking all the windows. and, carried
away by their lawless excitement. waged
similar warfare against the windows Of
nelghboring houses, which now present a
forloTn appearance.
The residents in the immediate vicinity
only met with black eyes aud sore heads in
their attempts 10 put a stop to those pro-
ceedlngs, which were carried on in the teeth
On Monday last the Fire Marshal ordered
the premises TO be pulled down as being
dangerous to the public welfare, and yester-
day Contractor Whittier set TO work with
his men to remove the few valuable timbers
left by the pirate gang.
Thursday nights windstorm had brought
the roof Of the kitchen to the ground, and
the whole building is in such shaky con-
d.tion as to be menace TO the lives of chill
dren and others moving about the premises.

THE FIGHT BEGUN.
Potrero Avenue Property Owners Is
sue a Writ.

sue a Writ.
The property-owners interested in the
Potrero-avenue extension fraud are losing
no time in showing that they are in earnest
in their determination TO fight the assess
ment out TO the bitter end.
Attorneys Smith and Murasky will file in
the Superior Court this morning writ OF
certiorari at the instance of John Reynolds,
one of the property-owners. against the
Board of Supervisors and Superintendent
of Streets.
Among the points raised are the follow
ing:
As to whether it was necessary for the
Mayor TO sign the resolution of intention
and to approve IL.
That the notices of the contemplated work
were not posted with the Street Superin-
tendent, as required by law.
That but one district was established by
the resolution of intention for three sepa-
rate and distinct street extensions, and that
under the act 1t is contemplated that for
each street extension district shall be ESQ
tablishPG TO paw the damages, costs and ex-
penses of sreh street extensions.
Regarding this point il may be stated that
this street extension is POtreTo avenue, from
Twenty-hfth street TO the county line, and
from near Channel street to Ninth. An
other street extension is of Tenth street to
Potrero avenue, and another Branuan street
TO Potrero avenue. Ii would be a manifest
injustice that prOperty-OwneTs near the
county line should be assessed for extern
sions of a small portion of Tenth street and
for an equally small portion of Brannan.
If these strePtS should be extended much
smaller districts should be assessed.
That by order of the Board of Supervisors
the lands on the line of the proposed street
extension are condemned. appropriated. set
apart and taken for public use, and that
such condemnation and appropriation was
not within the jurisdiction of the board.
That such lands are by this order con-
demned, appropriated and taken, without
any compensation therefor being made 10
the owners or paid into court for them.
That during ali the proceedings had in
the Board of Supervisors Supervisor Taber
was directly interested in having the street
extension made and would be directly bene-
fitted by the extension of such streets, and
that by reason OF such interest Taber was
disqualified TO consider or pass upon the
protests Of the petitioners or others to the
proceedings of the board.
That prior TO the fling of the protests
1aber, by reason of his interest, declared
that DO matter what protests were presented
he would vote TO oyerrule them. aud did.
prior TO the hearing of any protests, prepare
resolution Overruling the protests and
adopting the report of the commissioners,
and on November % last introduced such
resolution into the board. and by reason OF
his interest and without any consideration
of such protests did vote for the passage oil
the resolution.
That n vote OF seven members was re-
quired to pass the resolution, and without
the vote of Taber the resolution would not
have passed.

How Police Courts Are Worked by

lien of Influence"
The case of Thomas Hess, accused OF as
saulting District Engineer Dolan of the
FIRE Department. was again continued in
Judge Rix' court yesterday. The case has
been hanging fire for six months or more
and has been called for trial a half dozen
times. but in every instance either the de-
fendants attorney was absent or some i'm
material witness failed to appear. In other
words II is an excellent illustration OF the
methods pursued by Police Court attorneys.
The Judge is loath to force man to trial
without counsel to defend him aud as re-
suit continuance after continuance is Sc
cured until usually the case is finally dis
missed for having burdened the calendar.
30 much OF this sort of work has been
done IN the Police Courts OF this city

him TO trial for his crimes.

firing Judges and those who take their
places will clean up the calendars and get
rid OF the "men with pull" in one way or
