SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 2S.-Oom-
missioner l. II. Curtis this morning
sold at auction H. Brinkmeyer's int rest
in the d street property owned Jointly
with the Waters estate. The sale was
brought on q foreclosure by Receiver
Brodrick of the First National bank. and
the result of the sale was that the bank
became the owner of the property, bid
ding it in for $6905.5o, which was the
amount of the bank mortgage, plus the
accrued interest and costs.
1t had been hoped that A. G. Hubbard,
the Redlands capitalist, would foreclose
particularly when he had a first mortgage
on Brnkm ayers inter 'st in the opera
house Tor $3000-not $4,000 as formerly
stated but although he was present and
made bid it did not cover the bank 5
claim and the latter overbid.
The property was sold il three sections {:
the opera house lot being t;rst. The only
bid was that of the receiver, to VIII I'm the
property went for $905.50. The second
parcel was the forty seven foot lot direct
ly north Of the opera house. For this
Hubbard bid $1,000 and Receiver Brod-
rick raised it to $3.50, and this was the
last bid. The last piece of property was
the building occupied by J. S. Leeds.
For the half interest Hubbardabid $243o,
aud Brodrick raised it to $4,000 and was
declared the purchaser.
The bank is now the owne. of the undi-
vlded half interest with the usual time for
demption, and the receiver will en-
deavor to find a way of disposing OF the
porperty and getting money out of it for
depositors.
THE BUTTON CASE.
The second trial of Charles But ton for
the murder of Gustave Bohm began in
Judge Otis court this morning. The de-
PENDANT was represented by Byro Waters
of San Francisco, and the attorneys first
step was to move the dismissal of the
complaint on the ground that the BRING
ing of the case to trial had bean too long
delay ed.
At this the prosecution asked for con-
tinuance until 2 o'clock, but in the mean
time Mr.. Waters was induced to withdraw
the motion and the sele ctior of iurymen
was begun. The defense used its right
to peremptorlly challenge jurors very
freely, and at noon had excused six out
OF the ten allowed the defense.
At 3 o'clock six Jurors had been accent
ed and sworn. They we're: A. w. Potter,
Charles E. White, George Cooley, James
Birch, G. A. Atwood and u. a. Collins.
In making his opening statement MI.
Waters said that he assumed the defend
| ant would be tried for m nslaughtef, not
withstanding the information charged
him with murder. The fact of being
convicted of manslaugnter acquitted him
of murder IN the higher degree.
A LITTLE PARTICULAR.
| The prisoners in ths county Jail are be-
fore the board of supervisors in the role
of petitioners. They claim that the board
is not satisfactory, and making use OF
the inalienable right, they have petition
ell for more Of it. OF courJe they did not
appear IN person. Sundry bolts and bar s
precluded such a posi- hility. But Su-
pervisor Newberg recently received a
com muncation in his mail, which, when
opened, he found ADDRESSED to the boar d
of supervisors. and recited the fact that
the prisoners in the county jail do not
get enough to eat. The letter stated that
while Caterer Charles Klein is supposed
| to furnish two meals each day, that
what he sends in would really not make
one good square feed" apiece, and they
ask for redress.
Tnev also state that they had called
! Sheriff Hocomb's attention to the sub
| iect but he seemed to be inclined to be
satisfied with what was furnished, and
thought the prisoners ought to be.
! The board of supervisors summoned
Klein, and after Investigating the sub
| ject came to the conclusion that the food
| furnished was ample in quantity and
satisfactory in quality, aud that if any
adjusting was necessary it would be in
the way of ourbing appetites which were
! TOO epicurean.
But for difficulties which are apparent.
the inmates of the Jail might go on a
! strike and refuse to eat.
