penter's bill for the capture of Stone,
pShe man who robbed Station Agent
sdoodwin at Indio, some time since,
came up for consideration yesterday
before the supervisors met in regular
session.. The claim was advanced that
the constable had overstepped his au-
thoSity and captured the criminal in
San Diego county without the necessary
papers. He was also placed in bad
light by not attending the trial of his
prisoner before Judge Noyes in the supe-
rior court, after assuring the district
attornev that he would do without being
subppnaed as is usually the custom of
constables. His action caused the re-
lease of the prisoner, as the state did
not have sufficient testimony to convict.
