ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
A STRIKING SHAKSPEAREAN PAR
AllEl.
How Officers of the Law Become
Puppets Under a Master Iand-A
TraVe<tV on Justice,

Quite an amusing episode has
grown out OF the Manvilie trial. 1t
seems that Manville is quite as sharp
shooter with his tongue rs with his
rifle. and has said some things which
induced Mentzcr, one OF the counsel
for prosecution to have him put under
bonds to keep the peace.
The evidence submitted before Jus
tice Rathbun. Tuesday, was sufficient
to sustain the charge, and the Justice
placed the bond for his release at
$1,000. Mr.. Skillman, attorney for
the defendant, wanted to appeal and
give a bond Of 300 or 5000. This
met with decided objection from
Prosecuting Attorney Root. He
maintained that, ii there was any
danger to be apprehended from these
threats, and the court 10y fixing a
reasonable bond had so decided, then
the appeal bond should he equal
ly large to meet the object sought,
and place a restraint upon Manville's
actions. Manville refused to give the
larger bond, and the Justice made out
commitment, and Mr.. Root, believ-
ing that that ended the matter, left
the courtroom.
Then the funny business began.
Manville's attorney induced the JUS
tice to fix the appeal bond at $500,
which was given. and the prisoner al
lowed to go. Then Constable Aid
ridge was placed in possession Of a
commitment, but RETAINED from TAX
ing Manville into custody. Soon as
this came to Mr.. Roots knowledge, he
made diligent search for the Con-
stable, but he could not be found till
the next morning, and then declared
that he did not know whether he had
a right to serve the commitment.
Upon demand OF the Prosecuting At
torney that it be served, the constable
took Manville into custody, but under
advice of the Justice $50 he affirms)
consulted Mr.. Skillman, who, of course,
told him that he had no right to i'm

ridge hesitated; he started for the Jail
with his prisoner; then halted and re-
turned. After further consultation,
! he made another start; then halted
and returned, and this was repeated at
least four times. before he finally de-
cided to leave Manville at liberty.
Prosecuting Attorney Root, when
he ascertained what had been done,
was very indignant, and expressed his
views in unmistakable terms; but
Aldridge was again non est, and it was
not till the next morning that he
could be found. He then declared
that the Justices apparent indicision
in asking him to return the commit
ment and then refusing to receive it,
and sending him to consult Skillman,
had so far impaired his confidence in
that officers judgment, that he begged
to be excused from further service.
Aldridge then disappeared for the day.
In the afternoon of yesterday the
commitment was handed the Sheriff
to serve, but in the meantime Manyille
had left the city.

The enrolment for September,

A FINE DIsPLAY.-Miss Sternberg
has been keeping "open house" this
week, to display an elegant stock of
millinery, OF which she is deservedly
proud. Her store has been decorated
with ivy, evergeens, autumn leaves
and flowers, in excellent taste, and in
one corner a cozy little bower was
constructed, in which cake and
chocolate was dispensed to visitors,
by one OF the fairies in attendance.
The scribe, by virtue of his profession,
was recipient of this hospitality, and
Tor a brief spell awaited to see the
china cups and saucers turn into
slelghs drawn by raindeer. in which
the fairies and flowers and everything
beautiful would vanish from sight.
But alas! like everything else of the
Earth, earthly, the scene has vanished,
but In more plain and practical way.

An Explanation Required.

In the absence OF a satisfactory
explanation for so doing, we think the
Directors OF School District No | are
censurable for abandonment of the
claim against C. B. Mann, ex-County
Treasurer, for the sum of 81, l39, 60 be
retained as his percentage on moneys
collected for the district, without war
rant of law. The assertion is freely
made that neither OF the directors
would have been so reckless OF his own
interests as to relinquish just claim
due him, in the manner settlement
has been made with Mr.. Mann. 1t is
about a year ago that Mr.. Rathbun,
then member of the board, discovered
the fact that the Treasurer had
illegally retained commission on
school money, which had passed
through his hands as County Treas
urer. The proposition, seemed pecul-
iarly plain as the Supreme Court had
passed upon that point in similar
case. County Attorney c. II. Aver,
and his successor, Judge Root, both
advised the school board that Mr..
Mann owed the district the amount
OF these commissions-$I,l3 9 G0-with
interest. The board then ordered the
County Attorney to institute suit
against Mann.
Soon after this Judge Rathbun's
term as director drew to close and
it is recalled that Mr.. Mann's church
associates were unusually active in
defeating him for reelection. They
were successful, and now we find the
new board valves the districts right
to the full amount of 1880 by Mr..
Mann's paying $500, less than the
nearly three years interest that is due.
One thing is plain, either Mr.. Mann is
entitled to the full amount as he
claimed, or the district is entitled to
it, with interest. After their legal
adviser, the County Attorney, had
held in favor of the district, the action
of the board is open to condemnation,
to say the least. 1t too often happens
that public officers are indifferent in
caring for the peoples interests, but
there seldom happens so fragrant a
sacrifice as the one under comment.
In this connection, we learn that in
Mr.. Mann's report to the County Com
missioners he stated that the cash in
the general county fund included the
1880 claimed by School District
No. l, but when the directors called
the attention of the Commissioners to
this and claimed the money, the
Treasurer failed to satisfy the Com
missieners that the money was left in
the Treasury.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.-The adopt
ed son of Harmon Cassiday and vile,
Grover, one year OF age, sustained
fatal injuries, Tuesday afternoon. by
drinking from cup which contained
concentrated I've. The accident was
Immediately discovered by the foster
mother, and as drug store was near,
relief was almost instantaneous, but
the mouth and throat of the little
sufferer were fearfully burned and
doubtless the stomach. likewise, was
the source OF equally intense torture.
The infant was buried Wednesday
afternoon.
Cor IT IN THE NECK.-The frugality
of some people is remarkable. 1t is
said that lady in this city, whose
husband in the fall boards a gang of
men he employs to harvest certain
crops grown on his suburban holdings,
lately contracted with one OF our
marketmen for the meat supply, and
stipulated that as it would be in the
main for hired men. that a cheaper
grade than usual be sent over. Steaks
are good deal cheaper near the neck,
arn't they?" A reply in the afiirma-
tive settled the matter, and the board
ers got their beefsteak where the
chicken got the ak.
DAMAGE TO THE DREDGER-The
dredger Anaconda, a familiar object OF
interest to our citizens from her sum-
mer's operations in our harbor, was
seriously damaged at LaConner, when
she was at work, by the late storm.
The heavy irons through which run
the spuds for holding the dredger in
place while at work were broken off,
the section-gear was broken, the en-
CINE house blown off, and the engines
somewhat injured. The repairs will
cost about 5000, and considerable
time will be lost in proceeding to some
place where they can be made.
THAT BAIL BoND.-The signers Of
the Manville bond OF $4,000 for his
release pending appeal to the Supreme
Court, were cited to appear before the
Judge OF the Superior Court Monday,
on complaint OF the public prosecutor
that some of the sureties were insult
ficient, on account OF liabilities and
other causes. 1t was found that while
some of the bondsmep's worldly pos
sessessions fell beloW the amount for
which they had justified, others con-
siderably Overrpn the, limit they had
placed opposite their names, doubtless
in the belief that-that would be the
maximum sum for Which they would
be held. The court, however, declared
that each bondsman would be respon-
sible for the full amount in case OF de-
fault. The point was made by the attor.
ney for the State that several of the
sureties were liable ON other bonds for
amounts that would disqualify them
on this. The Court held that this
state of circumstances was not neces-
sarily a disqualification, but was a
matter the Court should consider in
passing upon the sutficiency of the
bond. The Prosecuting Attorney like
wise raised the point that several of
the sureties were married men; that
their property by their own admission
was community property, and their
wives had not joined in the obligation.
Judge Gordon, however, ruled that the
bond was sufficient and ordered the
release of Manville.
