COUNTY DIVISION.
An Error in the Line Between Riverside
and San Bernardin0.

An Error in the Line Between Riverside
and San Bernardino.
SAN BERNARDINo, Nov. 2.-rhe COM
missioners appointed to settle the finan-
cial balance between San Bernardino and
Rivereide counties, have not been able
to do anything, pending the adjustment
of the dispute arising over the boundary
line between the two counties. The
Riverside commissioners, Wise and
North, employed the county surveyor of
Riverside county to run the line, which
he did. Therefore. Wise and North
called upon the other commissioners in
writing to hold meeting and proceed
at once to award Riverside county her
pro rata OF the county money and
of the cost of the county
buildings. The other commissioners at
once employed Col. Fred Perris to run
the county line, who found the River
sides surveyor had placed the initial
point 247 feet out of the true position.
thereby giving at the other end large
territory of valuable land and property
to Riverside county, together with a
mile Of railroad. The Riverside county
surveyor now acknowledges his error.
When the boundry line is completed
and agreed upon, the commissioners say
they will proceed to act and not before,
as without it no balance can be made,
except approximately.

Tucson, Ariz., Nov. 2.-When the case
OF the territory against John o. Dunbar,
James McClintocE and the Gazette Pub
fishing company for libelling Attorney
General Heny. Acting Governor Bruce,
Marshal Meade and Governor Hughes,
was called for trial today, an affidavit
was read on the arrest OF Dunbar and
McClintock, charging that the presiding
judge OF the court, Richard f. Sloan,
had been closeted for hours in the Office
of Attorney-Gepera Heney, with his
partner, Rochester Ford, intimating
wrong conduct on the par. of the judge
and asking for a change of venue, or for
another judge to try the case. On that
ground the court Immediately ordered
Dunbar into custody for contempt of
court, and announced that he could only
purge himself by declaring who his in
formant was and by showing that he
made the affidavit in good faith. Judge
Sloan stated from the bench that the
affidavit was absolutely false and wholly
without foundation.
Dunbar's attorneys asked for time in
which to consult and for Dunbar to see
his informant. The court granted one
hours time. On the reconvening OF
court Dunbar stated he received his in
formation from Fred M. Hughes, clerk
OF the board of supervisors, and that
ex-Judge William III. Barnes, former
appointee OF President Cleveland, had
prepared the affidavit. Barnes stated
to the court that he prepared the affi-
davit, but refused to file it, because he
had no faith in the defendants right to
any change of venue. He admitted
sanctioning the filing of the same by
Dunbar, and that he made no other in
quiries into the truth of the charge.
Upon being sworn Fred Hughes
stated that he informed Dunbar OF the
charges made in the affidavit, but that
he distinctly told him he had no per-
sonal knowledge on the subject, and
that he could not remember who the
party was who told him.
Rochester Ford, who is chancellor of
the territorial university, stated under
oath that Aejs the law partner of .Attor-
nsy- General HeneyI that the statement
in the affidavit is false in every particu-
lar; that Judge Sloan was never near
the Office on the day mentioned, and
that be never had any conversation with
Judge Sloan on any subject at any time
or place since the indictment was found
in this case. and that Attorney General
Heney was in San Francisco attending
the funeral OF his father at the time
mentioned.
Upon the close of the testimony the
court committed John O.. Dunbar. the
editor of the Gazette, and William H.
Barnes, an ex-judge OF this same court,
to the county Jail for the period of 10
DAYS for contempt of court, and they
are now spending the night in their new
quarters. The court room was crowded
with the leading business men of the
