payment of the $4,000 awarded on the
first count by the Supreme Court.
The trial of the second charge is set for
the 2lst of the present month. and within
the next eleven days the Supreme Court
must hand down its decision.
Supreme Court may in its decision on the
application settle forever the question as
to the payment of the $4,000, secured by
MS on the first count. If they say the $210,-
600 should be paid Notwithstanding the
$3.50, 900 claimed for fraudulent milling, the
defense will have no recourse but to pay
over the coin. There will be no further
opportunity of delaying the payment of
the judgment. I am also sanguine the
court will deny the application for writ

best known to the board, which in return
gave him full data of what the company
would like to have from the Fresno people.
DR.. Pedlar will on his return home ac-
quaint the committee of what is required.
and then, it is understood, Fresno will set

The committee of directors that visited
Stockton Monday and inspected the Val

favorably on the work done so far, and the
immediate prospects for pushing the line
down the valley.
The long bridge over the stanislaus
River will be built before the winter rains
begin to fall, so that there will be no delay
in building beyond the river toward

Public-Spirited Citizens Determined
That It Shall Be Located in
This City.

For long time past numerous public
spirited citizens have been discussing the
matter of taking steps toward having a

-
Handle Freight and Passengers for
the New. Racetrack.
Negotiations have been pending be-
tween the Southern Pacific Company and
the Pacific Coast Jockey Club for some
time for the construction of track and
the operating of regular trains during the
race meets.
Adolph Spreckels, president of the
jockey club, took the matter in hand, and
has finally succeeded in accomplishing his
object. To obtain the desired right of
way President Spreckels opened negotia-
tions with the owners of land along the
line of the proposed road, and deeds under
the agreement will be filed in few days.
In order to connect the racetrack with
the panys main line running to San
Jose it will be necessary to use portion of
the right of which has already been prom
ised, and, in addition, about mile of
heavy grading and track will be necessary
to complete the connection. Beginning
near the junction of the San Jose line and
the Lake Merced branch, loop will be
built, running westward and back again
to point which will be selected on the
Lake Merced branch line, and another Sec
ton of track from that intersection down
to the racetrack.
If this plan is carried out it will give the
company roundabout route from Third
and Townsend streets via Valencia and
Twenty sixth streets and Ocean View, out
a short distance and return to the track.

Eight Men Retired From the Sunset
warehouse-Goods Were Missed.
Eight employees of the Southern Pacific
Company's Sunset warehouse on Berry
street, between Fourth and Fifth, have
been dismissed OH one order from head
quarters, and it has been rumored that
many more men in the warehouses are
to follow.
The foreman, Jacob Gonagle, an old en-
ploye of the company, his two assistants
and George Deane, a watchman for many
years at the warehouse, are among those
DISCHARGED.
No reason was given for the sweeping
dismissals of the men, whose positions
were Immediately filled by others. 1t was
learned. however, that considerable guam
titles of Oriental goods. chiefly fine silks,
were stolen from the warehouse. The Sum-
set warehouse has been used for packing
and examining under bond all merchan-
disc in transit from China or Japan and
the Eastern States. Recently Eastern i'm
porters began to miss various articles that
were on their invoices. An investigation
was set on foot, with the result that the
leakage was traced to San Francisco
and finally to the Sunset warehouse.
Where or how the goods disappeared has
bsen mystery, but in any event there was
evidence of negligence on the part of South
ern Pacific men, and every one in the place
had to go in consequence.

Accounts and Is Not
Valid.

His Property to the Grand

he bequeathed all his properly to the
Grand Army. G.. Mason Kinne, repre-
senting the veterans, petitioned the court
for the probate of the alleged will, and a
contest was made by Mary Jane Starr and

Judge Slack, in his written opinion, de-
clares that the instrument is clearly testa-
mentary in its character. answering one OF
the objections made by the contestants,
and he continues:
The objection that the instrument is not
dated is more serious The Civil Code, Section
1877, provides: San Geographic will is one
that is entirely written, dated and signed by
the hand of the testator himself. II is subject
to no other form and may be made in or out of
the State and need not be witnessed" A date
is, therefore, an essential part of an Geographic
will.
Further, the Judge declared that neither
date in the memorandum belonged to the
testamentary clause.
