Startling DestitutiOn.
The attention of the Board OF Superyi-
sors yesterday during almost the entire
forenoon was taken up with listening to
the petitions of indigeptS for outside re-
lief. There were thirty-siX applications
presented representing 125 persons. The
Supervisors are beginning to wonder when
this matter is going TO end. At present
the county is at an expense of from $500
to $1700 per month for outside relief, and
over 200 persons are receiving aid from
the county. The demands are augmented
by new applicants at each meeting of the
board, while the County Infrmary is
mates, and large number of the homeless
are housed every night at the Police Sta
ton.
Wilson Discharged.
Judge Ellsworth yesterday dismissed the
indictment against J. II. Wilson, the con-
ductor of the San Pablo cable-car who
was charged with causing the death of
Miss Mae Coates in the collision of De
Cember 1. The dismissal was made upon
the motion of the District Attorney on the
ground of lack of evidence to convict. It
was shown IN the trial of the gripman,
Josephs, that the car slipped upon the
track, and as the jury acquitted the grip
man the District Attorney thought there
was small chance of convicting the con-
ductor with less conclusive evidence.

The Legal Battle.
The legal battle over the ballots cha1-
lenged for alleged informalities and the
other points at issue in the Laymance- San
ford contest will come up this morning be-
fore Judge Frick. There is quite an array
OF counsel in the case, as Mr.. Sanford has G.
T. Johns and Hall & Earl, while. at the re-
quest of the Populist County Committee.
Thomas v Gator is associated with them
Abbott & Fitzgerald appear for Laymance
and Reed &, Nusbaumer for Joseph Herr
scher, who was also joined in the contest.
1t is claimed by the contestant that in sew
eral cases men who were unable to mark
their own tickets were allowed assistance
without making the proper affidavits. 1t
is also alleged that qualified voters were
not allowed to deposit their ballots. The |
counsel for Mr.. Sanford contend that as
the Populists were not allowed representa-
ton upon election boards it cannot be
that any malconduct, if such can
be proven, was in his interest.

feet east of Washington street. Lannon
was thrown out onto his head and baGly
