DELINQUENT LICENSES.
Judge Catlin Renders His Decision in
the Suit for Fees.

Judge Catlin Renders His Decision In
the Suit for Fees.
Superior Judge Catlin has decided that
Clinton L. White is entitled to but one
fee for bringingsuit and collecting from
II. F. Dillman and others city licenses.
Mr.. White claimed that he was entitled
to SIS in the case OF each defendant.
Judge Catlin, in the following decision,
decides otherwise:
l have given the question in this
matter all possible consideration and
examination, and conclude that plaintiff
in the action mentioned in the an
nexed statement is entitled to recover
only the sum of S15, and not Sl5 for each
cause of action related IN the complaint;
that the SIS is a fee provided for each suit
or action. and is not incurred unless an
action is commenced, seems to me to be
the plain meaning of the law.
The words (which shall be included as
a part of the original debt and be paid by
the defendant' do not seem to me to
compass the idea that in an action to re-
cover for two or more quarters, that the
fee of Sl5 is to be recovered for each quar-
ter. Just what was intended by the in
sertion of these words it IS difficult to
conjecture. They appear to be wholly
unnecessary. They add nothing, so far
as l can see, to what would be the effect
of the ordinance without them.
The case Of Gillis VS.. Cleveland, 81 Cal.
2I9, to which | am referred, does not sus-
tain contrary view. There it is merely
held that in each case, that is to say that
in each action, the attorneys fees may be
allowed

Footpad Walter Scott Discharged Over
in Washington.

Footpad Walter Scott Discharged Over
in Washington.
Walter Scott, who was recently arrested
here by Officers Higgins and Maley as a
member of the Eyans-Strickland-Ho Hol-
linger quartet of footpads, and who was
released in consideration of his having
turned States evidence, had another turn
in court yesterday. and was again dis
charged on the same ground.
When Scott was released in this city he
was rearrested on complaint by Con-
stable Todhunter of Washington, charg-
ing him with completely in the robbery
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Todhunter OF
that place.
When the case was called for examina-
ton yesterday III. L. Buckley, Scott's
counsel, moved TOR its dismissal, on the
ground that Scott had given much val
liable information to the police without
which desperate band of robbers could
not have been broken up.
District Attorney Head opposed the
motion. but Justice Evans agreed with
Mr.. Buckley. He said it was customary
throughout the United States for officers
and courts to be lenient toward criminals
who, by their confessions, had helped to
bring other malefactors to Justice. He
accordingly ordered Scott released.

Who Is TIE ARCH-FIEND !?
Second Attempt to Burn Up N. ],
StahFs Family.
The Incendfary Succeeds In Making
His Escape Before He Was
identified.

There is a miscreant at large in this
city who deserves more than hanging,
| and if caught it would not be at all sur
prising if he received his deserts in short
order.
1t is through no fault of his that a
mother and her seven children-the
family of M. J. Stahl, engineer of the
steamer Jacinto-have not been burned
to death, as he has made two attempts to
accomplish that result.
The first was at / O'Clock on Wednes-
day morning, and the second shortly
after 10 o'clock last night. On the first
occasion he was heard by Mrs. John Har-
ris, who lives next door to the Stahls,
and last night that lady saw him running
away just as the alarm of fire was sounded.
Fortunately, in each instance the fire
was discovered in time to extinguish it
before serious damage was done to the
house.
Last night the fire was started in the
rear Of the cellar, where quantity of
clothing saturated with coal oil was piled
up against the wall.
The fire gained considerable headway
before it was discovered, and were it not
for assistance being promptly on hand,
and the use of number of buckets OF
water, the destruction of the house would
have been certain to follow.
The house belongs to w. F. Frazer, the
lumber dealer, but whether the incen-
diary seeks to injure him or the Stahl
family is not yet known.
Mrs. Harris says that as soon as the fire
was discovered she saw man jump over
the rear fence into the alley, and run
away.
Officer Douglas and Special BALI made
an examination of the premises, and
found foot-marks on both sides of the
fence, also marks of the incendiary's s
shoes on fence brace.

Charles Heisen, the money broker,
holds S98 in the name of b. B. Brown
pending ustice Devine's determination
OF the question as to who should get it.
The money was attached by Cosby &
McLennan, creditors of Brown, on judg-

for the money was inaugurated about the
same time, and Heisen declined to let go
Of it until the courts decide who is best
entitled to it.
Brown assigned his claim to the bo-
nanza to William Henley. The latter
failed to get it. and in turn assigned the
claim to A. Schlumpf, who also failed,
and he assigned it back to Henley.
The point which Justice Devine has to
determine is the priority of claim, on
which there appears to be some disp ute.

The Old Oriental Hotel at El Dorado

County Assessor Irvine wants to go to
Ell Dorado to look at his quartz mine, but

The reporter who interviewed him

Gus performers wrote their names forty
years ago, assumed that the old hostelry
had been abandoned.
This. however, is not so. Irvine states
that Mrs. Koch, the present landlady,
prides herself on keeping one of the best
hotels in that region, and until the re-
porter made reparation for the slight in
hicted upon that estimable lady he says
he would not dare set foot in the village.

FRANKIE M'MAHON.
She Claims TO be Illegally Held for
Vagrancy.


Vagrancy.
w. A. Anderson, on behalf of frankie
McMahon, confined in the County jail
for vagrancy. has petitioned the Superior
Court for writ of habeas corpus to release
his client, on the ground that the court
exceeded its jurisdiction in committing
her; that she was arrested without any
authority OF law, and not upon any valid
judgment of any court.
The petitioner alleges that she and an
other person were charged jointly in one
complaint with vagrancy, and that under
promise of the arresting officer that she
should not be imprisoned, and would be
given an opportunity to leave the city if
she would plead guilty, she did so, al
though not guilty Of any offense. She
claims she did leave the city, but returned
few days before her arrest.
She was also informed that there was
no valid judgment against her, and that
there was no power in the court to Danish
her. and therefore is restrained of her
liberty. The matter will be heard by
Judge Catlin this morning.

The Spring,

OF all SEASONS ia the year, is the one for
making radical changes in regard to
health. During the winter, the system
becomes to a certain extent clogged
with waste, and the blood loaded with
Impurities. owing to lack of exercise,
close confinement in poorly ventilated
shops and homes, and other causes.
This is the cause of the dull, sluggish,
tired feeling so general at this season,
and which must be overcome, or the
health may be entirely broken down.
Hoods Sarsapsrilla has attained the
greatest popularity all over the country
as the favorite Spring Medicine. 1t ex-
pels the accumulation of impurities
through the bowels, kidneys, liver,
lunge and skin, gives to the blood the
purity and quality necessaro to good
health and overcomes that tired feeling.
