Altman Knocked Holmes Out, But
Won in the End.
The Police Court was the center of at
traction to q large crowd on Saturday
morning, the occasion being the hearing
of the cross complaints of Joseph Altman
and Dan Holmes, two PAYERS who have
in the past brought their troubles into
court. Holmes charged Altman with
battery and Altman made a counter
charge of disturbing the peace against
Holmes.
Holmes testified that as he was going
along the street at Ninth and X streets
Altman stepped up and asked him if he
wanted something out of him, and when
he said ne did not Altman called him
robber, a scab and a thief, and after
threatening to do him up worse than he
did before. proceeded to put his threat
into execution by punching him and
scratching his face. He denied calling
Altman q scab and tantaliziug him by re-
ferring to him as "a great contractor"
and said he only called him mayor
Steinman's telephone" He said that all
he tried to do was TO get away from ALI
man.
Other witnesses testified that Altman
seemed to be the aggressOr and that he
struck Holmes several times.
Altman testified that Holmes had been
calling him scab and other names as he
went down the street, and when he came
back called him "Steinman's telephone"
He insisted that Holmes was the ag-
gressor, and be tried to refer to the
former trouble between them, but the
court barred it out.
Judge Buckley, after reviewing the
evidence, found Altman guilty and dis
charged Holmes. Altman will he sem
fenced next Wednesday.

JUST A MAJORITY VOTE.
All That is Necessary TO Garry the
Pure Water Election.
Lawyer Devlin Says That the Election
is Not Even Necessary-But an Ex-
preston of Opinion Was Desired.

There has been some discussion as to
whether it was necessary to have an cleo
ton to authorize the Board of Trustees to
enter into contract for supplying the
city with water, and if such an election
was necessary what vote should be re-
qulred to carry the proposition.
y reporter of the RECORD Union yes
terday interviewed Robert 7. Devlin,
who participated in the preparation of the
ordinance calling for BIDS. Mr.. Devlin
said that the object of having an election
was not to give the Board Of Trustees
power to make this contract, but simply
to obtain an expression of opinion from
the voters on the subject. The board,
under The City Charter, had full power to
provide the city with water and to make
such contracts as might be proper for that
purpose; that the charter only required a
special election where it was sought to
create.a debt in excess Of the money on
hand, but this was not the case with
supply OF water where the city did not
own the plant. No debt was or could be
created IN excess OF the money on hand,
because there always would be enough
money on hand to meet any demand The
city might owe for water.
But in drafting the ordinance it was not
considered advisable 10 commit the city
to a contract for number OF years unless
majority OF the people were in favor
of it.
The election was not necessary. but
would show whether the people of Sacra-
mento wished new supply of water or
not, and hence the provisions Of the char
ter relative to special elections to author
lze the creation of an Indebtedness had no
application.
The Trustees could make the contract
without any election whatever, and sim
ply desired an expression of opinion, and
ia majority of those voting were in favor
OF the proposition they undoubtedly
would enter into the contract. 1t was not

that there was plenty of evidence to hold

ton and set the case for trial on the 18th,
ordering a venire of thirty jurors to issue
for that date.
