WAS HE CONVICTED =?
A Jury's Verdict Last Saturday Gives Room
for the Doubt


for the Doubt
1t seems that the superior court will
have to decide whether or not William
Niles was convicted on Saturday of cruel
ty to animals in tho JUSTICES court at
University. The testimony was over
whelmipg to the effect that the feed was
plenty in Niles pasture, and the other
cattle therein were slick and fat. In
fact, the only testimony which Intimated
that Miss Graham's s heifer was starved to
death was that of the fair prosecutrix.
who gave her opinion as an expert hand
on her four years experience in raising
cattle, she having raised one COW and
calf during that time, that her heifer had
been starved. But the jury evidently
thought that it was Niles duty to have q
veterinary surgeon always on hand to
minis ster to sick stock. and found special
verdict to the effect that Niles was guilty
Of not having provided proper care for
Miss Graham s animal. The charge in the
complaint was failure to provide food and
care. but inasmuch as there is no law
making it criminal to fail to provide
"care''fo animals the defendant claims
that the verdict is an acquittal, and the
chances are that the superior court will
so hold.

In the egotistical and incom prehensible
mayor of San Francisco is an unfalling
source OF amusement. There was re-
Gently an election of license collector
by commission OF three empowered TO
make the selection. OF this commission
the mayor is mem ber, and in this in
stance was in the minority. He was bit
terly opposed to the candidate of the other
mem bers and became so absorbed in the
fight that he forgot to nominate his own
candidate, so that when the ballot was
ordered the nominee of the other mem
bers, being of course the only one before
the com mission, was elected without an
opposition ballot. And now the enraged
6utro refuses to abide by the result. The
election of Adolph Sutro as the exponent
of popular rights and the opponent of
monopoly was one of the freaks of San
Francisco politics. There is probably no
better type of the monopolist IN the
country than this same Sutro. The i'm
mense fortune he now enjoys has been
made almost exclusively out of two
monopolies- first the noted Sutro tunnel
monopoly, and later land monopoly. He
holds more real estate in San Francisco
than any other three persons, and in pro-
portion to his holdings i'm mproves less.
He rests while the industry and enter
prise of the community enhance the value
OF his land. The battle between Sutro
and the railroad company is like the ira

Tobias Tibbs," the Familiar superinten-
dent of the Chalk.

one OF the best features adopted a.
the West-End Park this season was
large score-hcard upon which the scores
by innings OF the league games outside
OF Richmond are bulletined during the
progress of the local game. The score
hoard is some fifteen feet long, ana SIX
feet broad, with the names OF the four
outside clubs marked In large letters.
There are the usual spaces, one Tor
each inning. in which the number OF runs
is put up In large figures. so that the
scores can be read quite easily by every
one in the ball park.
Tobias T.bbs' is the official scorer
for the park. Everybody knows TO

always ready TO manipulate the chalk
