FRANCIS ALLEGES A CONSPIRACY.
Says He Was Cheated Out Of His
Stock of Goods.
A Complaint Filed Against Cornelius
Kellogg and Auctioneer David
j. Simmons.

George Francis has commenced suit in
the Superior Court against Cornelius
Kellogg and D. J. Simmons for 81, 800
damages. He alleges in his complaint
that he was engaged in dealing in new
and secondhand furniture last June,
having a stock valued at 81. .750 At S2l j
street; that he was indebted to Kellogg
S236 for rent, and that Kellogg attached
his stock AS he had no other means of
paying the debt. he alleges that he gave
Kellogg bill OF sale of the stock, the lat
ter agreeing to have it sold by the piece,
at auction or in small separate lots. by
Simmons, the remainder, after paying
the 1926 and costs OF attachment. to be
paid over to him (Francis).
He further alleges that, although the
bill of sale was absolute in form, it was
given as security only, under the agree
lnent as stated, and that Kellogg had no
actual interest in it further than the pay
ment of the dept and costs; that Sim
mons, acting under KellOgg's direction.
fixed the date OF such auction sale Tor
June 18th, and that on that date, there
being only few persons present, the de-
PENDANTS, tor the purpose Of cheating and
defraudlug him out of his interest in the
property and acquiring it themselves
without paying for il, and knowing that
no one present desired or were able
to purchase the stock as a whole, con-
splred together TO offer it for sale as a
whole and make pretended and tcti-
tious sale of it.
He further alleges that, pursuant to
such conspiracy, and IN violation of the
agreement and understanding with him
for the sale Of the property, and upon
which it had been delivered to Kellogg,
Simmons, under direction of Kellogg,
offered it for sale as a whole; that Sim
mons alleged and pretended that bid of
$500 had been made for it, and announced
that he as an auctioneer. knocked down
and sold it TO "H. 81 Co." for $500.
In fact, according to Francis COM
plaint, no bid was made for it by any
person, and the pretended sale was g tic-
titious one, and that defendants retained
the property and converted it TO their
own use; that he is informed and believes
that deteudants have sold most Of it since
tor prices which he is unable 10 state, but
alleges that they were for only a small
fraction of the value of the property sold.
By reason OF such acts and conspiracy
he claims that he has sustained damages
to the amount OF Sl,500. anu asks for
judgment against defendants for that
amount. White, hughes IL Seymour and
L. Platnauer are MS attorneys.

THE FUNDED DEBT COMMISSIONERS.
They Successfully Bid for Some
County Bonds.
Ninety-flve Thousand Dollars Worth
Sold to Them for q Little
More Than Par.

The Board of Supervisors held an ad-
journed meeting yesterday for the pur-
pose of opening the bids for county
bonds.
Supervisor Curtis presided as Chair
man at the opening of the meeting. in the
absence of Chairman Morrison.
The bids were then opened, the bidders
being as follows:
The Sacramento Funded Debt Com
missioners bid 100000 per cent. pre-
MUM and accrued interest to date Of
delivery.
The State Board of Examiners bid was
at par and accrued interest.
The bid of the Funded Debt Commits
sioners being the better Of the two by
S26 80, was accepted, and Commissioner
Sparrow Smith accepted the action of the
Board.
Arthur Seymour appeared before the
Board on behalf OF j. Mandorf, who
bought the saloon at Tenth and w streets
from man named Stock, and who
wished permission TO ran the saloon on
Stocks license till October lst.
Todd and Jenkins said the Board had
refused number of other similar appli-
cations, and they did not think it could
grant this one. He was allowed. how
ever, to go on in the same manner as
heretofore until the next meeting OF the
board.
District Attorney Ryan gave his
opinion, n response to a request OF the
board, that the demands of the late
Grand Jury are legal charge against
the county; that the items OF each de-
mand-attendance and mileage-are
matter of record and calculation. and that
the evidence of days attendance and
mileage is the certificate OF the SecretNry
OF the Grand Jury, which should be filed
with the demands.
Bush Quinn addressed the board in re-
gard to the claim of McGlpniss for Sl5O
for sprinkIing the riverside road, which
was rejected at the last meeting.
Jenkins said that bis understanding
was that the sprinkllng was to commence
on July Ist, and he therefore voted
against the bill.
Curtis said that his understanding had
been that the sprinkling was to COM
mence earlier than that time and con-
tinue until bids for the sprinkling were
accepted. He had thought, therefore,
that the time should commence on June
10th.
jenkins suggested that the matter could
be rec0nsidered at the next regular meet
ing of the board and the demand could
then be presented in proper form.
4 number of bills which the District
Attorney said were not legal claims
against the county were rejected, and a
number of legal claims were allowed.
Mr.. Quinn said McGinniss had quit
the job. not being able 10 get money to
pay his men.
brennan said the road was well kept
and was the only good driving road lead
ing out of the city, and was used by
many heavy taxpayers. He moved that
the action rejecting the bill be reconsid
cred. which was done, and SO for July
was allowed on it.
