SAN BERNARDINo, Aug. 2.--The board
of supervisors met Monday afternoon
for the transaction OF such business as
might come before 1t. The citizens OF
Ontario asked that the board place
bounty OF 10 cents each on jack-rabbit
scalps. They decided to allow the re-
quest and instructed the district attor-
new to draw up an ordinance covering
the same and present it at the next
meeting. A communication was re-
ceived from S. L. Grow of the county's
exhibit at Chicago, asking the county. to
supply him with descriptive matter Tor
distribution. Chairman Victor was IN
structed to attend to the matter and also
have H. B. Wesner put the worlds fair
pictures on heavy card board. a COM
munnication was received from Frank
Virgins, secretary of the Southern Cal
ifornia Worlds Fair association at Los
Angeles, concerning certain orange trees
purchased by this county, but on action
was taken on the same. A letter from
the secretary OF the mid-winter fair exec
utive committee was also received. ask
ing the board to instruct the commits
sioners of this county to meet the above
committee in San Francisco August 9th.
The same was filed, after which the
board adjourned to the 7th inst.
THE SALOONS AND WOMEN.
The city hall, used for the meeting OF
the city trustees, was we'll filed long be-
fore the members took their seats. The
fat had gone forth that two very inter-
esting and important subjects would
come up for discussion, and probably
some action would be taken on both.
The anxious crowd was sadly diaap-
pointed in the hearing OF one OF the
cases, as it was not called and will
doubtless stay buried. The other mat
ter was thoroughly ventilated and dis
missed, to the satisfaction OF nearly all
present.
After the clerk had read the minutes
of the board for the preceding meeting,
an ordinance modifying former ordi-
nance relative to the serving OF wine
and beer with meals was read for the
first time. The new regulations pro-
vide that each hotel, restaurant, ETC.,
shall pay So per month instead Of $50
per quarter.
The hearing of the saloon proprietors
who had been cited to appear before the
board and show cause Why their licenses
should not be revoked for allowing lewd
women to remain around their places OF
business. Colonel Eggers appeared for
Frank Schlegel OF the Arion, and asked
if written charges had been preferred,
and was informed that there had been
no accusation in writing filed. Marshal
Ralphs, Officers Varley and Heap were
examined, and stated what they knew
on the subject. Schlegel was placed on
the stand and said he had no way OF de-
termining whether the ladies who Wis
| tied his place were lewd or not, and that
they had always deported themselves in
a ladylike manner and he had not re-
fused them drink. Colonel Eggers then
made lengthy argument in
favor of the innocence of his
Christ, saying that he had not intended
to violate the city laws, and that there
had been no testimony adduced to show
that he had, as the ordinance in ques-
ton only prohibited fast women to re-
main around saloons, but did not object
to their taking a drink and leaving.
The same charges against Pendergast
and Groves was taken up and disposed
of in short order. Harry Groves was
placed on the stand and said he had re.
fused to serve drink to the women in
QQ0atlUu H.-s< uIxul
that the women were not allowed to re-
main around the saloons. The board de-
cided that the parties had not violated
the ordinance, and informed them that
should they do 80 it would be rigidly
elforced in the future.
After going through the usual routine
of business the board adjourned till
August 8th.
