SAN DIEGO HAPPENINGS.
County Clerk Gassaway on Trial for
Misconduct in Office.

County Clerk Gassaway on Trial for
Misconduct in Office.
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 2.-The trial of County
Clerk Gassaway, on charges of miscon-
duct in office, was resumed to-day All
efforts to trace the whereabouts of the
book containing the records of the Gov
ernment land business are so far unavail-
ing. Evidence was elected TO show that
Gassaway knew of the existence of
contract prepared by one ofhis deputies,
which all employees were required TO
sign, whereby they bound themselves to
pay a percentage of their wages
to Gassaway as a bonus for
employment. The contract was so drawn
up as to appear TO be merely a avoluntary
Offering to aid in defraying camping ex
penses.
A letter forwarded by District Attorney
Jones to Gassaway, informing him that
certain fees which he was appro-
priatng to his own use should be
turned over TO the county, mas disap-
peared, but letter press copy of the
same was introduced by the prosecution.
Gassaway failed to conform to the advice,
continuing to retain the fees.
The trial will last for some days.
The sensational peace bond case, in
which prominent citizens Of National
City were arrested for alleged disturb
ance OF the peace of Charles Lamb, came
to an end to-day. Lamb is the man who
was charged with improper conduct to-
wards little girls, and who was ordered
Dy MS fellow toWnsmen to leave
town before daylight on Au-
gust 23d on pain of arrest
or a possible coat of tar and feathers.
After his release on bail he caused the
arrest of his accusers. Suits were also
brought against them by Lambs parents
for $4,000 each. In the preliminary ex-
animation on the peace bond charge the
prosecuting witness failed to appear, and
bench warrant failed to reach him.
Therefore defendants were all dis
charged.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-The Western branch
of the National Democratic Campaign
Committee spent to-day considering the
advisability of recommending a Demo-
cratic-People's party fusion in the two
Dakotas. If that is done the Democrats
insist that they will surely sweep these
two States. The chief trouble seems to
be the Peoples party wants most of the
offices. But the Democrats will probably
make their chief point on an agreement
that the Electoral vote shall be cast for
Weaver for President and Stevenson for
Vice-President. There is some dissen-
sion among the Democrats themselves as
to the advisability of fusion, and prom
inent Democrats in these two States have
been summoned by telegraph by Chair
man Dickinson for an extended confer
ence on the question in this city.
The Western headquarters of the Ma
tional Democratic Campaign Committee
will be in charge of Hon. Ben 7. Gable,
National Committeeman from Illinois.
This was settled by the committee and
Cable formally took possession of the
headquarters to-day. The National Com
mittee decided that an Advisory Commit
tee of Illinois Democrats shall be ap-
pointed to assist Cable by counsel. The
principal fight in the State is to be made
upon the local issue of the compulsory
school law, and it is coniectured that the
Advisory Committee to be appointed to
assist Cable will contain certain German
Lutherans.
The question of indorsing fusion with
the Peoples party in the two Dakotas is
still unsettled.
STEVENSON IN KENTUCKY.
HERNDoN, Sept. 2.-It was a royal
welcome that Adlai L. Stevenson received
here to-day, the home Of his birth. There
were 10000 people present from all parts
of Western Kentucky and Tennessee,
and fully one-third of them grasped the
guest by the hand. After brief breath
ing spell he partook of a barbecue and
stepped into wagon within a few yards
of the very spot on which he was born.
When he was allowed to begin talking,
and after few preliminary remarks
about his old Kentucky home, he jumped
into politics, and the sentiments he ex-
pressed made the Kentuckians and Ten
nesseans shout until the woods rang
He confined himself largely to the tariff
and force bill, and no words were
minced in denouncing the latter. He
spoke for half an hour, and was followed
by Hon. James A. Mckenzie and Con-
gresham Ellis.
Mr.. Stevenson will remain over night
at Herndon, and will take the morning
train for st. Louis.
