decisive. Friction alone prevented
This result. Unhappily this friction
has continued since, and outbreaks

STOCKTON, August For once
the politicians are absolutely shut
out from the presence of Governor
Budd, and it may be some time be-
fore they can again hope to press
their claims for Office on him. The
chief executive of the State is lying
at the home of his mother on Chan
mel street, near Suffer, in this city,
suffering from an illness which if
he does not have absolute rest for a
time will develop into something
very serious. By the order Of his
physician none but the members OF
his family are allowed to see him,
and perfect quiet is enjoined for the
benefit of the patient.
Miss Todman, the Governors
executive secretary, said this morn
ing that he was very sick and had
intended to stay at klamath Hot
Springs for a month if his duties
would permit him. Miss Todman
expected that the Governor would
leave for the springs tomorrow, but
later on DIR. Sargent Sid that this
would be out of the question, as he
was not fit to travel. His disorder
is spinal meningitis.
