Why NOT Tn CALIFORNIA =?
Veteran Firemen to Have a Reunion
at Chicago.
Those of California Could First ECome
Together at the State Fair
Next September.

1t is proposed to have a veteran fire.
mems reunion at the Worlds Fair in
October, in which old California firemen
shall take part.
The fremen of San Francisco have
taken the initiative in the entire affair.
They have correspondent with similar
organizations on the Pacific Coast, and
have received assurances that most of
them will go to Chicago in full force.
The excursion will begin on September
22d and will last for thirty-three days,
the party expecting to return here on
October 18th. a programme will be made
at once and an itinerary prepared.
This is matter that it might be we'll
for the State Agricultural Society to take
cognizance of. The State Fair will be
open from the 4th to the 10th of Septem-
Der, inclusive, and it may be that a sort of
veteran tiremen's dress rehearsal can
| be gotten up to take place while the State
Fair is on. 1t would have the effect of
awakening interest in the matter among
old tiremen, and would certainly he a
very pleasing feature of the fair.
How would it do Tor Secretary Smith to
start the ball rolling? The Exempt Fire
mems Association of Sacramento might
greatly assist in the matter, or it might
take the initiative. In the good old days
OF the volunteer fire system, when 1.-THE
boys ran wild der masheen," Sacramento
had an excellent department, and many
Of the old veterans are still living.
y reunion of this kind ought certainly
to be a very interesting affair, as well as
a novelty

man yesterday to a RECoRD-UNIoN re-
porter, when asked his opinion on the
subject, land | haven't the least doubt we
could get up a fine procession OF veteran
firemcn.
There are thousands of them in San
Francisco, and all the older towns and
cities-Oakland, Vallejo, Benicia, Napa,
Stockton, Petaluma. Suisun, Marysville,
Sonora (Tuolumne County,, and many
other places could send large delegations.
Many of these towns still have their
hand-engines, and could bring them.''

the proposition is a good one. l was
member of the first engine company or
gained in one OF the bay towns thirty
years ago. Our old foreman and most of
the boys are still living, and some of
them are now active tiremen.
Il know that only a very small per-
centage OF them can afford to go to the
Worlds Fair, but all could come to Sac
ranento during the State Fair. Wewaut
something new this year, and veteran
! hremen's reunion and parade would be
the best thing l know off,
Several others who were interviewed
on the subject expressed similar views.
and 1t looks as if all that would be needed
70 make the thing success is for the local
hremen and the State Agricultural Society
to take hold Of it.
The proposition is one that will interest
many widely separated communities. and
that is the object of State Fair features

Let Us Have Fireworks,

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN: 1 see by the re-
port of the meeting OF the Fourth of july
Committee held last night that the COM
mittee is inclined, if the money runs
short tor carrying out the whole pro-
gramme. to cut off the fireworks. That
would be outrageous. If anything has
to be cut oil, why not cut Oft the re-
gatta? l Go not care to say ANYTHING
against having regatta, if there is money
enough, but to have one when there is
not enough money Tor fireworks seems to
me absolutely ridiculous. What has
regatta TO do with the celebration of the
Fourth of July?
One OF the principal reasons for cele-
brating Independence Day, as | take it.
is to impress it upon the minds of the
children and make them patriotic. How
can this be done so effectively as by a
grand display OF fireworks? 1 would
have the fireworks if / had to cut out
every other feature of the programme.

A LITTLE PREVIOUS.
Burr's Action to Gust r. I. Cohn Is
QuaShed.


Judge Johnson has rendered a decision
sustaining the demurrer of the defend
ants in the case of Z. A. Burr VS.. Z. Z.
Johnson and others.
The decision states that the action is
brought by the plaintiff, i'll his capacity
of taxpayer, against F. Z. Johnson,
County Auditor; L. Lyon, County Treas
urer, and +. I. Cohn, enjoining Johnson
as Auditor and Lyon as Treasurer from
drawing and paying to Cohn a warrant
ordered by the Supervisors Of the county
in COhn's favor for certain services al
legefto have been rendered by him to
the county.
The complaint alleges that although
Cohn is employed to reindex the records
of the county, he in reality performs
other work which the law requires the
Auditor to perform. and that, therefore,
the claim is in fact an increase Of the
Auditors salary, and therefore an il
legal charge against the county.
A demurrer was interposad, stating
that the action is improperly commenced
and an injunction will not lie, but this
the court decides is not so, and quotes
from the County Government Act, show
ing that the section quoted provides for
two emergencies-the recovery of the
money paid on an illegal order and the
l6SbA dlllIllS VI lll0 OLdNlH2 Oh Il warrant
or its payment on such Illegal order.
But, the court says, the section also
provides that all such actions shall be
brought by the District Attorney, and
makes it his duty to do so.
The Supreme Court, the decision states
in the case Of Burr VS.. Board of Super-
visors go Gal. 2l3l, stated that the inter
est of a taxpayer does not entitle him to
bring an action in his own name until
the District Attorney has refused to bring
an action. 1t will be no answer to saw
that the District Attorney may refuse or
neglect to do so until the warrant is paid.
for the law provides for the recovery OF
the money after payment; and If the Dis
trict Attorney fails to proceed, then a tax
payer may proceed to bring suit against
ali officers concerned in its payment.
commencing with the Supervisors who
ordered its payment as we'll as the party
who received the illegal compensation.
1t does not appear in the complaint that
the District Attorney has refused to do
his duty in the matter, and the demurrer
is sustained.
Judge johnson afterward issued an or
der dlSsolving the injunctions in the cases
of Burr VS.. Jones and others and Burr VS..
Cohn and others, which restrained them
from receiving, drawing or paying war
rants for the claims of Jones as special
counsel for the county and Cohn as rein
deXer in the County Auditors Office.

Michael Witty Was Full of Tacks.
and Resisted When Arrested.
Michael Witty was again before the
Police Court yesterday morning for dis
turbing the peace, and several witnesses
testified. Witty was arrested by Police
Captain Simmons at Front and K streets,
on Wednesday evening, and it was re-
ported he was grossly treated by the
officer.
The evidence showed, however, that
Witty was full OF bad whisky. was
fighting another man when arrested, and
vilified the officer by cursing him in
several different styles. When arrested
he is said to have had his hat and shirt off
and was fighting for all he was worth.
Witty made statement saying he was

SAGER'S CASE.

He Was in the Police Court. but No
One Seemed to Want Him.
John Sager was arraigned in the Police
Court yesterday, but no one seemed to
know what Mr.. Sager was there for.
Judging probably from his weary APP
pearance, Judge Buckley thought he was
up for being drunk, and considered his
case mild one and discharged him.
Sager tried to explain something about
horse and cart, a livery stable and the
officers of the Humane Society, but got
his narrative so badly mixed that the
court gave it up and adjourned.
Later it was learned that Sager was ar
rested upon complaint of cruelty to a
horse. but as he protested that he had no
horse the case became again complicated.
The arresting officers did not appear.

1t Was just Enough to Lose Elkus'
Mare the Race.

1t Was just Enough to Lose Elkus'
Mare the Race.
There was quite gathering of horse
men at Agricultural Park on Thursday
afternoon to witness the attempt of Albert
Elkus' road mare to trot.a mile in 2:40.
1t seems that there has been consider
able rivalry between Bert kidder and
Elkus over the speed of their respective
roadsters, and several wagers have re-
suited, one of which was a challenge
from Kidder that Elkus' mare could not
trot a mile in 2:40 by the 18th of this
month. Fifty dollars a side was put up.
The first attempt was made on Thurs
day, Ed Carragher, w. Gardner and Mr..
Holmes acting as judges and timers. The
best the mare could do on that occasion
was 2:4O4, but she has yet two days in
which to accomplish the feat
There is also race to come off between
the rival trotters for 500 side.
