the Buckley of Southern California.
A conversation very close friend and
supporter of Mr.. Lindley had with an

a HERALD reporter. 1t WAS to the
effect that Lindley now controlled the
supervisors and police commission, and
that before the campaign really opened
he would have firm grip ON the local

able to reward his friends and punish
his enemies.
The prime object of the whole scheme
is said to be the secu ring OF the Repub-

Yesterday morning Enoch Hirst ap-
piled for citizenship in Judge Shaw's
court.
Hirst is a discharged sailor and the
application was denied upon the very
grounds it was demanded upon.
In his opinion Judge Shaw says:
Enoch Hirst applies to be admitted to
become citizen OF the United States
without previously declared his inten
tion to become such citizen. and bases
hie petition upon the fact that he hae
heretofore enlisted in the navy of the
United States and has been honorably
discharged therefiom.
The, right to naturalization under
these circumstances ia claimed under
section 2l60 of the United States re-
vised statutes, which provides that il
any alien has enlisted in the ''armies oi
the United States, either regular or
volunteer forces" and has been honor
ably discharged, he may be admitted as
citizen without any previous declara-
tion of intention and upon proof OF one
years residence only. 1t was held in
by Judge Deady of the United States
district court that under this section O
person who had enlisted in the navy
and had been honorably discharged
therefrom WAS not entitled to citizen
ship on account of such service. The
contrary has been held by one of the
superior courts in the state of New
York. but think the decision of the

sum OF $50 600 for injuries received,
while in the employment Of the cop.
pany.
The plaintiff took the witness stand
during the afternoon session and stated
that his occupation was by profession
that of dentist. When he came TO
California his health was good.
Upon the day of the accident he was
conductor upon car los OF the electric
railway. Dufrain was motorman.
The witness left the stand here for a
few minutes while Attorney Adams tes-
titled to commencing proceedings against
the electric company for damages for in
juries received by a Mr.. Nelson, while
boarding car driven by Dufrain.
Gier then resumed his seat upon the
witness stand. Upon the 29th OF Jan.
uary he started work upon the car early
in the morning. Witness started to
switch his car and stepped to the front
end of the car to turn his switch-an-
other car coming down the hill upon
the same line. He expected Dufrain to
keep his car stationary.
Before he had time to do more than
turn his head the car 105 was upon him
and struck him in the chest. Witness
remembered no more after that.
Witness was upon the proper side IL
work the ewitch-the south side.
Witness ribs on the lett side were
crushed, and also on the right side. Hil
collar bone was dielocated and his shoul
der blades injured.
Witness suffered terribly for some
time afterwards, in fact he still occa
sionally felt the consequences ol
the injuries he received. He was una
BILE to walk for three weeks. He war
unable to undertake any manual labor
and could not do 80 at the present time
DIR. Finch was then called, and ths
plaintiff stripping to the buff, described
the injuries received by the plaintiff.
According to the physician, seven o
the unfortunate mans ribs were out o
their place, his shoulder blades wers
similarly affected, and his spinal col
umn injured. 1t would be i'm possible
for him ever to regain his health. Hi
right arm was also severely injured ane
was almost useless.
His direct examination being con
tinued, witness stated that, a. . result
of the accident, he would never be ablt
to resume the practice OF his profession
