Gus Letter in Connection With
the Contempt Proceedings.

The case OF Frank McManus. charged with
battery upon Tracy Woods and his wife, which
has been pending for some weeks, was dis
missed by Judge JoachImsen yesterday after

the fact that Woods admitted he was the
aggressor; that Mrs. Woods uusexed herself
by joining in the fight, and that both MIR. and
Mrs. Woods the prosecuting Witnesses had
left the city.
It will be remembered that the fight occurred
at an early hour Of the morning, in the saloon

the court McMdnus made use of language that
should never be heard In a court OF justice and
the Judge hned him $40 for contempt.
In connection with the contempt proceed
ings the Judge has received the following
humorous letter:
In re King McManus-May II please your Honor:
On Saturday last Mr. Frank McManus. my client.

king, in the temporary absence of his counsel, saw

However. appearing he did in propra per-
soma, and evidently laboring under a sense of
some actual or fsncied wrong, as well as a mtsap-
prehension of the facts, It'll not improbable that
my client used language somewhat undignihed if
not uncourtly.
In the momentsry absence of COUNSEL. as be-
fore remarked, his majesty just having been baled
out by Two OF his faithful subjects on charge OF
battery. his counsel saw fit to enter his plea of
mot guilty your Honor" and also th mixing. per.
haps, IL would more than please your HONOR TO de-
mand trial by jury in the premises. did so with
out consultation with their distinguished client.
The defendant subsequently being informed of
this state of affairs, and doubtlessly having view
the fact that his witnesses had been detained in
court for the second time, somewhat hastily
rushed INTO court and interposed his oral demur-
rer, which was technically speaking not accord
ing to the code.
Mr.. McManus, on "sober second thought" now
desires. through his counsel, to discIaim any
fancied or seeming lack of respect for your Honor
and now descending from his throne, humbly and
DeseechIngly prays your Honors most gracious
pardon. at the same time craving your Honor's
kind indulgence to the end that his Highness may
be forthwith permitted TO return to the arms and

Property owners in the Western Addition
will be largely ffected by The decision of the
Supreme Court yesterday In what was known
as the Richmond sewer case. In this the judg-
ment Of the lower court is affirmed as against

The suit was brought by George r. Fletcher.
as property holder, against w. l.. Prather Jr
the city and county OF San Francisco and Super
intendent OF reefs AckersOn. Pratber held
the contract for the sewer, and was procer ding
TO take his work through private property over
which the property holders held the right OF
way. Fletcher sued for an Injunction restrain
Ing the defendants from so dong, but the Supe-
rlor Court sustained demurrer 10 the CON-
ilalnt. Fletcher appealed.
Inc Whole decision turned upon the validity
or invalidity OF the act OF the Legislature under
which Tile work complained OF was permitted
10 be done. The act In question was passed in
1898. and was an amendment of section "a of
the Vrooman act OF 1885, which had previously
been amended In 1889 This measure laid
down Instructions as TO certain circumstances
under which drainage could be affected through
private lands controlled by right of way.

aet and in affirming the decision the Supreme
Court held that this was rightly done.
