A TUOLUMNE CASE.
Attempt to Locate a Mine Within the
Town of Sonora.
The Government Patent to the City
Trustees Held to Be Paramount
to a Personal Deed.

The Supreme Court has filed its decision
in the case of Margaret Mccormack, APP
pellant VS.. Frederick Sutton and Abra-
) sham Halsey, respondents.
The action was to quiet title to piece
of land described as lot 80 in certain
block in the city of Sonora, County of
Tuolumne. The defendants filed sepa-
rate answers, and each claimed title to a
large portion of said lot by virtue of an
alleged ownership of a quartz mining
claim, called the San Guiseppi Quartz
Mine; and the defendant Sutton further
averred that he had been in the adverse
possession of that portion of said mine
which is embraced in said lot No. 80 for
more than five years before the COM
mencement of the suit, and pleaded the
statute of limitations.
Judgment went in the lower court for
the defendants, and the court decreed
that Sutton was entitled to the possession
of all that part of said lot 50 which was
included within the said alleged mining
claim. Plaintiff appealed from the judg-
ment and from an order denying a new
trial.
! 1t appeared from the findings that on
| March "A, 1874, the Government of the
! United States issued its patent OF the
| TOWNSHIP OF the city of Sonora to the trus-
tees of said city. Said lot 80 was part of
| said TOWNSHIP, ana was conveyed by the
! trustees on the 9th of August, 1874, to one
! Oliver Cowan, and by several mesne con-
veyances the title under the said townsite
patent TO said lot 90 passed from said
/ Cowan to the appellant before the COM
mencement of this action.
a bout nine years afterward, in JaDu-
airy, 1888, the respondent Sutton and one
Gerlach undertook to locate certain
| quartz mining claim, generally known as
the Guiseppi. They posted and recorded
! notice claiming ! 800 feet along the
/ quartz ledge, with 800 teet surface ground
on either side, properly designated its
! boundaries, and since then have done
sufficient work within said boundaries to
comply with the laws of Congress upon
the subject. The surface location in
cluded large portion OF lot 80. The apex
OF the vein located was outside Of said lot
30, but the vein in its dip extended under
the surface ground of said lot.
Gerlach atterward conveyed his interest
! to sutton, and the respondent Halsey
claims the right OF possession under a
! contract with Sutton.
The Supreme Court, after going over
I the case at length, holds the Government
! title given by its patent TO the trustees of
/ the city to be superior to the mining claim
! subsequently levied, and ordered the
! Judgment reversed and the case reInanded
! for new trial.

1t may be that a cat got the birds, and
that later explanation OF the circum-
stantiai evidence in the premises will
clear up the suspicious of all concerned;
but, as the case stands, the Judge of the
Police Court, the health official and the
ducks are supposed to be conserving to-
gether and to be intimate associates by
this time.
Under ordinary circumstances war
rants would have been issued for the sus-
pected dignitaries- as they
are-but in view of the fact that the Judge
but few moments before had passed
sentence upon the boys Daily and
Rawles, giving them the full penalty of
SIX months in Jail for getting chickens"
no arrests were made. Besides, the po-
lice were in doubt as to how to procure a
warrant without the signature of the
Judge.
In the meantime the generous jailer
and the Chief of Police will not dine upon
ducks of which they have lost control.

A Bold Theft Committed Under TIL

A Bold Theft Committed Under the
Nose of the Police.
Immediately after the adjournment of
the Police Court yesterday morning, a
bold theft was perpetrated at the City
jail, which created considerable stir. The
audacity of the job, coupled with the
prominence of the suspected perpetrators,
leads one to exclaim in wearied accents:
