S. Johnson, who resides on Fourteenth

very fortunate individual. a few weeks
ago his residence was robbed of a gold
watch and pair of opera-glasses worth
together about $40. The family sus-
pected a lad named Ed little. who had

Therefore He Could Not Pay Credit
ors' Demands for Money.
In Department One of the Superior
Court yesterday an examination of W. l.
Orth, an insolvent debtor, came up for
the purpose of ascertaining if he had as
sets outside of those named in the sched-
ule.
Orth had been engaged for several years
in the dry goods business in this city,
and lately at the corner of Seventh and J
streets, where his store was attached at
the suit Of the Bank Of d. O. Mills d Co.
Some OF the creditors, who are repre-
sented largely by the San Francisco
Board of Trade, applied for an eXamina-
ton.
Orth testified that he had been system
atically robbed by a clerk named Beck,
who it will be remembered was arrested
on the complaint of Orth, and went to
the Folsom State Prison in consequence.
Beck was a very smooth article, and cut
quito a dash in society here.- OF con-
tent with robbing Orth by stealing his
goods, he had the audacity to sell them
back again to him, and managed at differ
ent times to get away with many hun
dred dollars worth before he was de-
tected. Orth lays his financial downfall
to Beck, as he not only stole outright, but
sold goods from the store and forgot TO
turn over the receipts.
Being questioned, Orth admitted that
he had given 81. 100 to his wife, which he
said had been used in maintaining their
household, and in paying doctors bills,
etc, and that only about 500 of it re-
manned.
w. \. Gett, attorney for the creditors,
asked for an order requiring Orth to give
up the SI,l0O, but Judge Catlin said a
man could not be made to pay money
which ne did not have, and that he did
not see why any such order should be
made. He dismissed the examination.

All YANG AND HIS GUN.
Another Highbinder Taken in Wit
His Arsenal.

Another Hiehbinder Taken in With
His Arsenal.
just as officer Wilson was going off
duty last evening, about $50 o'clock, he
saw two Cinnamon enter a saloon on the
corner of Second and 1 streets. Imme-
diately another Chinaman ran across the
street from the Fonk Ok headquarters
and began peering through the saloon
door.
His movements were suspicious
enough, but Wilson also noticed that his
right hand was buried in the left sleeve
of his blouse, where highbinders carry
their pistols when there is any shooting
to be done.
The officer pounced upon the fellow
like June bug on a potato vine," and
drew from the surprised celestial's sleeve
Remington pistol of 44-caliber and a
foot long. 1t was evident that the fellow
intended to turn his gun loose on the pair
inside the saloon, so Wilson marched
him off TO the City Jail, where the high
binder soon gave bail and returned to
Chinatown. He gave the name of All
Yang.
1t certainly looks as if the highbinder
gangs are determined on having their
fight out, and it is liable to occur at any
time. During the past week it has been
noticed that numbers of Chinese have
visited the various shooting galleries for
practice.

WOOD WAS TOO LATE.
He Wanted to Intervene in a Case Al
ready Settled.
So Said Superior Judge Catlin, and
Now the supreme Court Afiirms
the Judgment.

The Supreme Court yesterday filed its
decision in Deputy Clerk Govan's Office
III the case OF Owens ct al, petitioners,
vs.. State Controller Colgan, respondent,
and j. NJ. Wood, appellant.
1t appears that owens Bros. filed pc
ution in the Superior Court of this county
for writ of mandate to compel Colgan,
as State Controller, TO draw warrant in
their favor upon the State Treasurer for
SLIPS 81, on q claim for work done on the
seawall at San Francisco, over which
claim there was a contest between the
petitioners and Wood. The latter inter-
vened and asked the court TO set aside the
judgment, as the plaintiffs had previously
assigned their claim to him. Judge Cat
lin decided against the intervenor, ad-
judging that the latter came in too late,
Judge Catlin said: 1.-The relief sought by
the intervenor, if granted would require
this court to command the Controller TO
issue a second warrant for the payment OF
the same sum that had been paid upon
the first warrant, which was issued IN
obedience to the court"
An alternative writ was issued, and on
the return day. July II, 1891, Colgan filed
demurrer to the petition, which having
been overruled, the court made its ind
lngs and ordered Judgment for petitioners
as prayed for.
on the following day judgment was
entered and a peremptory was issued;
and on that day the amount OF the war
rant was paid to the petitioners by the
State Treasurer.
Afterwsrd, on August 29th Wood
served on petitioners and respondent a
notice of a motion to set aside the judg-
lnent and for leave TO file complaint
OF Intervention. The motion was alter
ward heard, and the court made an order
denying it. From this order Wood APP
peaied. Appellant complained that he
was seduced into delaying his application
TO intervene in the mandamus proceed
ing by the representation OF Hart, attorney
1or respondent. that it would not be heard
as soon as it was.
1T is difficult to see,'' says the Supreme
Court, in reviewing the case, chow the
petitioners for the writ of mandate could
be bound in any way by the representa-
tions of the attorney of respondent. But,
however that may be, the order must be
affirmed. In the first place, the general
allowed after final judgment. Sec. 3S7.
Langenour VS.. Shanklin, 81 Cal. 10.
I'm the second place, since the Con-
troller has obeyed the writ, and the war
rant issued by him has been paid, il
would be vain thing to Vacate the judg-
ment, or allow appellant now to inter
vene; and such proceeding would mo-
benefit him in the least.
The order appealed from is affirmed
