A PERFECT CASE.

The Supreme Court Affirms San Ber-
nardtno Land Caso.
The supreme court has affirmed the
decision of the San Bsrnardino county
superior court in the case OF the On
tario Land and Improvement company,
respondent. VS.. j. s. Howard, appellant.
The action was brought to require the
defendant to pay the balance on land
purchase within q specified time or have
his interes foreclosod. Judgment went
for the plaintiff. The supreme court
says that the plaintiff made perfect
case, showing the land to be within the
exterior boundaries of the Cucamongs
rancho. The defendant introduced tes-
timony to show that the land was with
out the boundaries. There was con-
fict in the evidence with clear prepon
derance in favor OF the plaintiff. Under
such circumstances the court says 1t
would eubserve no useful purpose to
analyzs and discuss the testimony, and
affirms tho decision.

TWO PROBATE DECISIONS.

A Double Claim Rejeoted-Law of suc-
csssion Construsd.
Judge Clark OF the superior court fled
two opinions yesterday in probate cases.
In the matter OF Kurz an item of 500
in the administrators account was OBJ
jected to. An account OF s299 was al
lowed by the court in December, 1898.
The decedert left property in Missouri
and the same account was presented
there in January, 1894, and 5000 was
allowed and paid. The court now de-
cides that the allowance here cannot be
allowed and suetains the objection to it.
In the estate OF Wallis there was q
contest for letters of administration be-
tween the public administrator and q
brother OF the deceased. The father
succeeded to the estate, but assigned his
claims to the brother, who otherwise
did not succeed to any part of the estate.
Judge Clark construes the law governing
succession in his opinion, and decides
that the brother not being entitled to
succeed to any portion OF the estate is
not entitled to letters OF administration
and directs letters to issue to the public
administrator.

SLASHED WITH A SAW.
RESULT OF A QUARREL BETWEEN
TWO CARPENTERS.
Contractor Logger seriouoly Cut by W.
j. Finley Because of His Dis
charge-Finley Under
Arrest.

j. Logger, q contractor, was taken
to the receiving hospital at 2 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, suffering from a
deep cut on the forehead and a ragged
gash in the left arm.
W. j. Finley, who is responsible fol
the wounded mans condition. is locked
mp in the city prison on charge OF as
sault with deadly weapon.
The weapon that figured in the case
was an ordinary hand-saw. Both Leg
ger and Finley were engaged in con
structing a house on Twenty-ninth
street, Logger having the contract. Fin
Icy was discharged by Logger who, it ia
said, told him he was not half carpen-
ter and didn't want him any longer.
Finley's dismissal made him angry,
and he qusrrelled with Logger. The
men grew very boisterous toward each
other. and Finley struck at the con-
tractor with a hsnd-saw.
II the facts are as atated, Logger
resented the blow 10y hitting Finley
with a scantling.
Then the fight became bloody one.
Finley struck Logger across the forehead
with the saw, cutting an ugly scalp
wound. He followed this blow with
several others, which fell upon Legger'i
left arm and elbow in guarding them
from hin head. The arm was lacsrstsd
very badly, and cut almost to the bone
in several places.
A sad scene was witnessed when the
patrol wagon, with Sergeant Jeffries and
Detective Bosqui, took the wounded mar
and the ahsailant to the station. Finley
is very poor man and resides in tent
near Main and Thirty-third streets. He
has large family of children. When
he was about to be taken away the little

A HANDSOME GIRL IN TROUBLE.
Dora Nathgied Arraigned for
Petty Larceny.
The Police Are Suspicious as to Her
Companions Career.
She Is Accused of Stealing Numeroui
Articles From Mrs. Montgomery.
Charles Dsighton's Career
Closed-The Story.

Miss Dora Nothgied looked very sad
Yesterday in the police court when
Judge Austin read q complaint to her
charging her with stealing articles worth
SIS.
While the woman does not look like a
kleptomaniae, she will have hard time
in explaining how certain articles came
into her possession. She is an English
woman, tall, OF fine stature, and q
blonde. Her companion. who signs his
name Charles Dsighton or Dayton, is
alao English. He was arrested at the
time the woman was taken into custody.
The complaint against the woman was
sworn to by Mrs. Ella Montgomery, 217
South Broadway. She is accused oi
stealing aatteen dress pattern, a silk
handkerchief, gold scarf pin and a bolt
of black lace. Mrs. Montgomery alleges
they were taken by the Nathgied
woman when she roomed in the
Potomac.
When the case was called, the accused
having been brought up from prison by
Detective Goodman, the woman stood
with tears in her eyes. and listened to
the charge. When asked as to her
guilt her attorney. Hugh Crawford, en-
tered plea of not guilty and the case
was set for trial next Monday at
o'clock. In default Of $500 bail she was
remanded to prison.
Late in the afternoon Detective Bos.
qui hled complaint againnt her COM
panion, Charles Deighton. He is ac.
cused of vagrancy in order to give the
detectives a chance to investigate, as il
is believed he is crook. In tho room
occupied by him and the Nathgisd
woman were found numerous tools in.
dicative of burglars outfit. There
were jimmiss. files, wise, saw and any
number OF skeleton keys. The detect.
ives think they have q noted crook with.
out any evidence to prove it.

THE ALBANY CROWD.
INDICATIONS OF NEPOTISM IN
THE SCHOOLS.
The Moo Positions Occupied by W. w.
Seaman, e. T. Pierce, f. w.
Molyneaux and j. A.
Foshay.
lCoMMUNICATED.1

That the general public may know
something of the real work accom-.
plishsd by what il commonly called the
Albany gang, we will give short sketch
OF those worthless.
w. w. Seaman, E. 7. Pierce, F. A.
Molyneaux and J. A. Foshay were class
mates at the normal school at Albany,
New York, an ordinary normal school
with two years. course in academic
branches.
After graduating from such great
school these men cast about for suit-
able field for the exercise of their tai
ents. We know the result OF their
united efforts.
+. T. Pierce is president Of the state
normal school here, at a salary OF $3420
year. His wife teaches in said normal
at $1,000 a year. His niece teaches in
said normal at $1400 year. A sister Of
w. w. Seaman teaches in said normal
at $l700 q year. One protege CT w. w.
Seaman teaches in said normal at $1,000
a year. One proteRe of F. A. Molly
nesux teaches in said normal at $1,000 a
year. F. A. Molyneaux is one Of the
trustees of said normal.
60 much for the gangs influence on
the normal school.
w. w. Seaman ia county superinten-
dent OF schools ct a regular salary Of
$4,000 a year, which was increased to
$4,000 last year by means OF travelling
expenses, etc. What cost him $500 in
the way of travelling expenses cost Dep.
uty Little only 5000 year. But let
that pass.
F. A. Molyneaux is city superintend-
ent of schools at Pomona at a salary of
$1499.95. He ia also q member Of the
county board of education, in which
capacity he got $500 extra last year.
Molyneaux is also a trustee of the nor
NAL school, in which capacity he gets
$102 mileage for each trip to Sacramen-
to, and in which capacity he is very
useful to that part Of society included in
the Albany gang.
]. A. Foshay ia deputy city superin.
tendent OF schools of Los Angeles at q
salary of $500 o year. He is also a
member OF the county board of eduos-
tion, and draws from $3.50 to $500 year
for putting in time which the city has
already paid for, and which should be
devoted to the city schools.
1t will be noticed by the foregoing
that three of the five members of the
county board are members of said AL
bany gang; that the normal school ia
almoat entirely under the thumb OF
those worthless that the schools of Po-
mona and Los Angeles are also commit
ted to their tender caro-, and that $25. 900 q
year is likewise committed to their
keeping. u
Alter all this one would be led to
think that these gentlemen were great
scholars, great teachers, great thinkers
and great workers in every way. After q
careful search we find no evidence of
good work, scholarship. oratory or edu-
cational thought in all the records of
said gang'a work; that they have grant,
ed themselves high school certificates on
credentials alone; that very large part
of their work is done by deputies at the
expense OF the county, and that in school
matters the ordinary teachers Of the
county want NO better fun than to knock
them out every time they open their
mouths to give evidence.

The court appointed Mr.. Williams to

the court that his client had told him
he was guilty. Horton denied it. and

A STOP GATE WANTED.

1t VIII Relieve the Pressure on the Out
fall Sewer.
II the outfall sewer is to be utilized for
irrigsting that section OF territory i'm
mediatsly south and west of the settling
chamber, new valve will have to be
provided.
If this is not done, there ia good res.
son for believing that the outfall sewer
will not last very long. Under the PRES
ent arrangement, when it ia desired to
irrigate the territory mentioned, it is
necessary to close the stop gate at Hyde
park, three miles and half below the
settling chamber. This gives solid
column of water over three miles long on
the siphon which extends nearly all OF
the way between the two points men
toned, and as this pressure is inter-
mittent, it causes the wood pipe to ex-
pand and relapse, and there is no
doubt In the minds of any ressona-
Bile man that this expansion in time
will cause the iron bands which encircle
the wooden pipe to sink into it. There
is great deal of power in @ eolid col
umn of water of the length mentioned
on down grade, and the question that
10 now agitating the minds of the men,
bers Of the sewer committee is why the
stop gate should have been placed at
Hyde Park when the design was to irri-
gate the territory three miles above.
They are now considering the propriety
OF putting another stop gate in the up
per arm of the siphon. by which they
will be enabled to get an ample supply
of water for irrigation in that section,
without subjecting the siphon in this
part OF the outfall sewer to the trsmen-
dous strain indicated. 1t 10 likely that
the matter will soon be submitted to the
