Eighty Dollars offered for Hotel That
Cost Twenty Thousand.

Eighty Dollars offered for a Hotel This
Cost Twenty Thousand.
Some time ago the Southern Pacific
Company announced that it was about to
dispose of some lands in the Bay View dis
trict, South San Francisco, and that the
large building which was known as the
Bay View Hotel, which stands on the
property, would be sold to the highest
bidder who would remove it. Since that
announcement the company has received
two bids for the building one of $50 and
the other of 800. The hotel was built in
1869 at a cost of about $780, 600, at the time
that the Bay View racetrack opposite to it
was the place where many of the fast races
of those days were run. 1t was over this
track that Thad Stevens and Lucy ran a
race memorable to all who were interested
in turf matters.
For years the building has been unoccu-
pied, and the windows have been stolen
and carried away 1t is now only mere
shell, and the wonder is that a strong
breeze has not blown it down.

Winning Shot and Will
Rule for a Year.
A VERY EXCITING CONTEST.
The Eagle Was Shot Away and the
King Crowned in Very
Quick Order.

"Who will be shooting king?" was the
inquiry in the mouth of every member of
the San Francisco Schuetzen verein when
they met at California Hall on Bush street
yesterday morning. Some thought that
D. B. Faktor, last years king, would win,
while others were equally positive that
George Helm would have the honor of be-
ing crowned and kissing the prettiest girl
among the relatives of members
of the verein. Others again pinned
their faith to Major Huber. while
r. Finking, kaufman Wertheimer,
John Utschig and half dozen others were
looked upon as prize-winners. As it
turned out everybody's calculations were
upset and outsiders won in nearly every
case.
The members of the verein gathered at
California Hall at $50 A. NJ. yesterday and
within a few minutes thereafter a start was

is now going over the proposed line to
determine the feasibility of building such
road gives rise. to the supposition that
templated line will be for passengers and
freight, and from the location of the land
it will from the valley to the Merced ter
minus be a gravity road. It is also in
tended to run the road, if it is built, into
the valley in winter as well as in summer
1t is said that those who intend to build
the road have promises from a number of
people along the route to take electric
power, which will prove great item in
the cost OF running expenses.

COUNTY. S. D.
GENTLEMEN:-The annexed claim of
the Iowa & Dakota Land Co. for sums
aggregating Sl99.11 without the inter-
est claimed alleged to have been paid
to the treasurer OF this county on sales
OF land for taxes, the title being at the
time of the levy in the U. S. and the

ferred to me for an opinion as to the
liability OF the county for repayment
OF any OF the sums embraced in said
claim. On Oct. ?, 1893, when the mat,
ter was referred to me the question
whether or not county is bound TO
reimburse purchaser at tax sale
under the circumstances alleged in the
claim was before the supreme court of
this state awaiting its decision and [

action until after this decision had been
announced. May %, 1894, filed its de-.
cision and opinion in the case of Ameri-
can Investment Co. vs.. Beadle County,
80 N. w. Rep, holding that county
is not liable under circumstances sim
liar to those disclosed by the statements
OF the above claim. The claim should
therefore be wholly rejected.
Respectfully submitted.
