Endeavorers After Schaeffer.
The opposition to Louis Schae1fer for
Sheriff seems to be springing up from all
| sources, not only in his party but out of ii,

Mrs. Cartier was at the Courthouse YES
terday and said she was fearful her hus-
band would do her harm, as he had
appeared at the house where she resides
and tried to force his way in. 1t seems
that Cartier has previously been locked up
as insane, hence his commencing his letter
'In jail agaiG." He will be examined at
80 to-day, and number of witnesses in
the case are expected from San Francisco.
Bondhoiders Dislike to Change
Recently Receiver Ira Bishop of the Con-
soildated Piedmont Cable Company ap-
pealed TO the court for perm ission to bor-
row S32, 900, which he claimed would be
devoted 10 the repurchase Of the rolling
sto k which was sold by Sheriff McKiIli
can some months ago, and 10 change the mu-
! tive power for the system over the hills 20
Piedmo from ca hle to electricity Here
tof0re Receiver Bishop has not been ap-
posed in his oft-repeated applications 10
| borrow money 10 run lbe road, but when
| the hearing of his most recent application
came up in court yesterday unexpected
| opposition was developed.
Attorney w. Ii. Cbickering appeared for
certain of Tie bondboiders, among whom
was Mrs. p ube A. Blair, and objected TO
the change on the ground that great risks
| would be involved 10 operating cars by
electricity over the steep hills in the Pied
mont district.
Bishops attorney demanded that the an
| plication be granted on the plea that it is
imperatively necessary that the work be
commenced before the rainv season. He
| contepded that the road could be opera ted
by electricity cheaper than by cable, as at
present.
Attorney Chickering wanted TO see Re-
| ceiver Bishops account. The other aitOr-
ney announced that this would be filed
shortly. But Judge Henshaw, evidently
thinking that it would be well to first see the
account, continued the matter one week.
