FILED At REDWOOD CITY,
The Southern Pacific Secures
Rights of Way for a New
Road.
Can Now Construct a Double Track
From San Francisco to San
Bruno.

REDWOOD CITY, CAL, Dec. 20.-A
deed has been filed in the Recorders Office
in which John R. Coryell conveys to the
Southern Pacific Company about forty
seven acres of land along the bay shore
south of the San Francisco County line.
This removes one of the principal obstacles
in the way of the Southern Pacific Com
pany constructing the new double-track
short route to San Francisco.
AT the time the San Francisco and San
Joaquin Valley Railway Company was in
corporated condemnation suits for right of
way over strip of land 100 feet wide were
entered by the Southern Pacific Company
against all the owners of property along
the bay shore from the San Francisco
County line 20 San Bruno. These suits
have since that time nearly all been set
tied quietly out of court, in some instances
by direct purchase of the whole property
instead OF the small strip required for right
of way. The Coryell ownership was one
of the last to resist. 1t is now reported
that the Southern Pacific Company has
overcome all difficulties and is in a posi-
tion to proceed with the work.
When the suits were first brought it was
stated that the Southern Pacific Company
intended to build a double track between
San Francisco and San Bruno. 1t is now
reported that the double track will be ex-
tended to Maytield. This report has some
significance at the present time, in view OF
the efforts that different parties have made
to secure railroad franchises in the Santa
Clara Valley and tidewater connections
that will give access by steamer to San
Francisco.
Aside from heading off opposition from
the above source the Southern Pacific
Company will need the double track to
accommodate the overland travel as soon
as the Santa Barbara gap is closed.

THE LOCAL BEER WAR.
The California and Broadway Brew
cries Deny That They Are
Cutting Prices.

During the past two or three weeks there
has been internal strife among the men,
bers of the Brewers Protective Assocla-
ton, and charges have been made that the
California Brewery, on Douglass and Sew
enteenth streets and the Broadway Brew
cry. on Broadway, have been selling under
the price agreed upon by the association
30 per barrel. In yesterdays CALL was
published the statement of man who
claims to know of the situation, that the
California Brewery was selling at So 80 per
barrel-a cut of 81 50-and that the Broad
way Brewery was also cutting in prices.
e. b. Stone of the San Francisco Breweries
Qimited) said that these brewers were ac-
cused OF cutting 80 cents on barrel.
w. j. Rohrer of the Broadway Brewery
denies that his concern is guilty OF under
selling beer, and states that he has not
changed the price, and one of the manag-
ers OF the California Brewery submits the
following statement:
In an article in yes terday's CALL it was made
to appear that we are reducing the price of our
beer from So to So SO barrel. We wish to
most emphatically deny this charge, as our
price has always been 50 per barrel, as per
rules OF the Brewers Protective Association.

tween this place and Sheep Ranch was
about two miles from town the driver, a
16-year-old boy, saw a man, SarsfelG Coo
gan, who lives near San Andreas standing
at the roadside. Knowing Coogan, the
driver asked him if he was not lost. Coo
gan, instead of replying, drew a pistol and
leveed it at the boy, ordering him to
throw out the mailbag. When he secured
the bag he shouldered it and started off,
bnt suddenly threw it down, shot three
holes through it and then gave it back to
the driver and told him to proceed.
Coogan told the driver to inform Sheriff
Thorn that he would be at Yankee Camp.
AS soon as the boy reached town Con-
stables Treat and Cavagnaro started to
search for Coogan and found him at his
LONE When he saw the officers enter he
picked UP shotgun, but did not attem pit
to use it. He came quietly to town. AS
an explanation of the affair he said he had
a deep object in stopping the stage and
would clear himself. He is undoubtedly

NED REDDY IS SELECTED,
Governor Budd Has Appointed
Him Superintendent of the
AlmShouSe.
The Sacramento Conference Between
Jim and Pat Practically Decided
the Matter.

Notwithstanding the statement of the
Levin gston Tigers that Governor Budd
had made more promises than he can
keep, the latter gentleman has appointed
Mr.. Ned Reddy Superintendent OF the
Almshouse, to take charge of that institu-
tion on the first of the year.
The appointment was the result of a
visit made to the Governor some DAYS ago
by ex-senator Patrick Reddy, who is a
brother of the Superintendent-eIect
Mr.. Ned Reddy has been waiting, so it
is said, for the action of the Governor for
the last eleven months, and finally asked
his brother to call on the chief magis-
trate of the State and see "where he was
at"
The brother proceeded in the matter at
once and repaired to the capital
Governor" said he, show about that
appointment of Ned's?"
II guess that will be all right, Pat"
"Well, it has been all right for some time,
Jim but the particular date of the appoint
ment has not become apparent to me. Sup
pose, Jim, We settle on something def
nite?"
'sAll right, Pat. That suits me. When,
for instance?'
"Now."
NOW goes, Pat" and Mr.. Budd made
the selection that Mr.. Reddy was concerned
about.
This action took place last week, but up
to yesterday was kept quiet with the rest OF
the State secrets. The Governors selection
will probably be satisfactory to the rank
and file of the Democracy, as Mr.. Reddy
was for long time captain of the guard at
San Quentin. but resigned nearly a year
ago to wait for the appointment at last
conferred upon him by the Governor.
