WILL HURRY UP LATHROP.
ATTORNEY SAWYER FILES A SUIT
AGAINST HIM WITHOUT
DELAY.
STATUS OF POTRERO TITLES.
PROPERTY OWNERS CAN STAND
SECURE ON THE VAN NESS
ORDINANCE.

No time has been lost by Attorney e. D.
Sawyer IN making an effort TO put the
Lathrop claim to test On the very day,
Tuesday, that he saw the account of Lath-
rop's suit claiming the Potrero to be his
(Lathrop's) property by virtue of deed
from S1las Bowman, Judge Sawyer filed a
counter-suit to quiet title to block 1873.
81 did this" said Judge Sawyer, "to
hurry UP the judicial settlement of this
question. 1 consider Lathrop's assertion
OF title as outrageous and a great wrong to
the small property-owners there"
Judge Sawyer is pretty thoroughly
posted on the status of the Potrero titles.
be has owned property there since 1855.
, His property was the old Porter Webster
claim. Porter Webster settled on it in 1851,
and from January 1, 1855, until June 20,
1855, he had it inclosed by fence and put
house on it. which gave him the title
under the Van Ness ordinance. This Judge
Sawyer proved up before the Board of
Supervisors and holds the City's deed for
it. He made the following statement yes
terday:
s1las Bowman ran ditch from point lit
tie south OF Seventeenth street and the Mission
Creek, easterly to Potrero avenue, to make con-
nection with the Harrington & Ludlum fence,
which was constructed in 1853, and afterwa I'd
renewed in 1854 by Bensley & Mason, the pur-
Harrington claimed 160 acres and Ludlum
seventy-five acres. At the time Bowman made
the ditch the Ludlum fence and Mission Creek
inclosed about fifty acres of ground which
Bowman claimed. Harrington, Ludlum and
Bowman pooled their issues in 1858 with other
claimants on the Potrero and made q trust deed
to, think, three trustees, which must have
embraced from 500 to 600 acres. Nothing was
ever done with this trust until 1868, when a
Judgment was rendered in the Twelfth District
Court to compel Ludlum to carry out the trust
and make sale. Ludlum died and therefore
failed to do SO. NJ. W. SpauIding was afterward
appointed referee and he made the sale, and
the land was purchased by the Pacific Land
Association.
Previous to this, however, Bowman, by deed
OF January s, 1855-preVious to Lathrop's
deed-conveyed all his interest in the Potrero
Nuevo to Charles Brown and W. o. Andrews.
This deed was Immediately recorded, and that
was long before 5owman's deed TO Lathrop,
which is dated 1863.
AS soon as saw the account of Lathrops
action in The CALL / began suit against
Lathrop to quiet title to block 1873, and on the
very same day served him with summons
and complaint. He can have this suit tried
next week If he desires. 1t has been assigned
to Judge Troutt's department., No. 8, and l
shall push him to trial SIS soon as can.
The property owners on the Potrero,
says Judge Sawyer, can rest secure in the
possession of their titles, which are all de-
rived from the Van Ness ordinance.
There is not the slightest ground for any
apprehension, is his assurance.

AN OPEN CHURCH.
Rapid Progress Made In the Plans of
the New Tabernacle.

Rapid Progress Made In the Plans of
the New Tabernacle.
The West Side Christian Church may
incorporate next week. At least that step
will not be deferred many days. The COM
mittee that has under its direction the
establishment of the new institutional
church holds frequent meetings, at which
details concerning incorporation, eompe-
tent solicitors and other essentials in the
progress oftheir plans are discussed.
It has been settled that the lot to be
purchased for the site of the new tsber-
nacle will be within half dozen blocks OF
the location of the present church build
ing. The sum of $4,000 is already in
sured.
The pastor of the proposed church. Rev
W. A. Gardner, was active in temperance
works in the days of his ministry, and it
was then he saw the necessity of making
the church equally attractive with places OF
amusement or even infamy. In the cir
cular which is in the course OF preparation
he says:
The saloon has an advantage in that its doors
are always open, giving a hearty welcome to
the passing crowds day and night, while the
church is closed about 100 Of the 1913 hours OF
the week.
In the "open church," as like to call it, we
