SANTA ROSA BONDS INVALID.
Decision of the Supreme Court on a Re
cent Issue.

Decision of the Supreme Court on a Re
cent Issue.
SANTA ROSA, CAL, July 5.-The ques-
ton of an adequate water supply is once
more agitating the citizens of Santa Rosa.
The issue upon which the present CityCoun-
Gil was elected was the water question and
the proposediss of bonds to build new
water works. Soon after taking Office the
Council proceeded to issue 1854, 900 in
bonds at 4 per cent, which they sold to
Robert Effey of Santa Cruz for $165, 900,
with the understanding that Effey would
construct new system of water works &C
cording to plans submitted by him for
1851, 900, the city to furnish right of way,
etc.
Suit was brought by certain citizens to
restrain the City Council from entering
into this contract, and after the matter
had been argued, submitted and passed
upon by the Superior Court of Sonoma
County the case was carried to the
Supreme Court, which has just decided
that the new water bonds are invalid
What the City Council will do now is the
question agltating the citizens.
The Taxpayers Union, which is a BODY
OF the largest property-owhers in Santa
Rosa, held meeting and adopted resolu-
tons in favor OF buying the present water
works and improving them, SO as to furnish
an adequate supply for the future growth
as well as the present needs of the CITY. It
is probable that another election will be
held soon for the purpose of voting new
bonds

The Southern Pacific Loses In q Suit
Againsr the City.
SAN JOSE, CAL, July 5.-Judge Rey-
nolds made an order to-day dissolving the
injunction sued out by the Southern Pa
cifc and South Pacific Coast Railroad
com panies, whereby the town of Los Gatos
was enjoined from improving a strip of
land 80 feet wide by $50 feet long, fronting
on Santa Cruz avenue.
The injunction was the result of reso-
luton passed by the Town Board of Los
Gatos wherein they proposed to improve
Santa Cruz avenue, including this strip of
land The railroad companies at once OBJ
iected, claiming that this land was a part
of the tract donated to them by John w.
Lyndon for depot purposes. The suit
hinged upon the boundaries of this strip,
and great deal of contradictory testimony
was adduced on both sides.
In arriving at a decision, Judge Reynolds
laid the greater stress upon the testimony
of the old teamsters, who, from the nature
of their calling, would be most likely to
observe and remember land marks. Their
testimony was mainly opposed to the con-
tention of the railroads, and for this
reason Judge Reynolds dissolved the in
junction. The case will be appealed.

Injured in an Accident Near
Santa Barbara.

REDDING, CAL, July 5.-A shocking
accident occurred this morning at the
pianing-miIl of the Shasta Lumber Com
pany, about twelve miles from this city
Louis w. Hamilton, an employe of the
mill, was under the building shifting some
pullevs, when in some manner he got
caught in the big belt of fiywheel. He
was whirled with lightning rapidity around
the wheel, and striking the floor was
crushed out of all semblance to human
form. The shock of his body striking the
floor was heard all over the building, and
the workmen, thinking the engine had
broken down, made an investigation and
found the mangled remains lying on the
floor.
A Coroner's jury was summoned this
afternoon and a verdict of accidental
death was brought in.
Hamilton had no relatives known. He
was native of Missouri, aged Sc years;
was member of Company A. Eighteenth
Regiment Infantry, Missouri. He enlisted
at Benton Barracks, March %, 1862

as the riders themselves had but little to
complain of.
Ulbricht, the time winner of the race, in
timated that men had been placed on
scratch at the last moment for the purpose
of making a slow pace, but the phenome-
nal time made completely refuted this.
That the race was fairly conducted and no
favoritism of any kind shown in the ham
dicaps is without question. Phil Percival,
Smith and w. Allen. three of the foremost
bicycle men OF standing on the coast, acted
as official handicappers. As matter of
fact the objections were such as would
come up at any big race and had no SUBJ
stantial foundation.

.REGAN SEEN IN FRESNO.
The Daring Outlaw Views the
Parade on the Fourth

by Several People, but
Rides Away From the City
Without Hindrance.

FRESNO, CAL, July Sit is reported
to the officers that Cliff Regain, the cattle
thief, for whom officers have been search
ing for months in the mountains, was in
Fresno and viewed the Fourth of July
parade from the Courthouse square.
Several people say they recognized him.
He rode upon horse in company with a
Mexican. The latter remained in his
saddle, but the man supposed to be Regain
alighted and mingled with the crowd.
some one was seen to whisper to him, and
he quickly remounted and rode off at
gallop, and has not been seen since. The
officers think that the outlaw would not
hesitate to ride into town, although he is
well known.

YOUNG TRBADWELL,s PETITION.
Judge Reynolds Hears Arguments for a
Change of Guardian.


Change of Guardian.
SAN JOSE, CAL, July 5.--The petition
of James P. Treadwell, minor, and heir
to the $400, 900 Treadwell estate to have E.
W. Clayton removed as his guardian, came
up before Judge Reynolds this morning.
The petition alleges that Clayton has failed
to discharge his trust by not properly ap-
plying the income to the support and
maintenance of the petitioner, and that he
was hostile to the boys personal guardian,
George Y. Bollinger. The petitioner asked
that Bollinger be made his personal guar
dian.
Williams Mathews of San Francisco,
who appeared for E. w. Clayton, aues-
toned the legal construction and phrase
ology of the petition, saying i was wholly
imperfect and without foundation in law.
G.. D. Wright, the attorney for the petit
toner, said the petition was in accordance
with the statute, and added that, as the
petitioner was over IA years of age, he had
the legal right TO nominate his own guar
dian.
Judge Reynolds said that the minor
could not capriciously come into court
every week and ask for change of guar
dian, and if counsel insisted on the suffi-
cheney of the petition on that ground it
could not be sustained. The whole matter
was taken under adyisement.

in Court.
Hearing of the Petition of the
TreadWell Heir-HlghWayS to
Be Inspected.

SAN JOSE, CAL. July 5.-The Barron
will contest case came up before Judge
Reynolds again this afternoon in the form
of motion to retax costs. The matter
was continued until the time of hearing
the motion for a new trial.
This was the day set for hearing the at
torneys on the issuing of a citation for all
parties interested in the Barron case to APP
pear and adjudicate heirship. George w.
Monteith, representing Edward A. Barron,
the mulatto claimant, was the only attor-
ney directly interested that was present.
He asked that an order be issued citing all
those interested in the case to appear and
show cause why the heirship of Edward A
Barron, the mulatto, should not be recog-
nized. Judge Reynolds set Friday, Sep
TENDER 13, as the day for hearing the petit
ton of claimant.
James H. Long of San Francisco ad-
be made of his appearance as attor-
ney for J. NJ. Green, guardian of the
mulatto boy. He stated that after he had
received a large retaining fee efforts had
been made to GUST him and substitute
George w. Monteith. He said he wanted
record made of his appearance, for he in
tended to bring suit against the guardian
for fees.
Judge Spencer refused to have record
made of Longs appearance. 1t is claimed
that Long secured $3.50 from J. NJ. Green,
guardian OF the boy, on representing that
Winifred Morton, the boys mother, had
engaged him so as to secure the Buckley in
fiuence, without which Long represented it
would be impossible to win the case. Green
didn't have the money with him. so gave
I. J. Crowley, then attorney for the boy, his
note and Crowley gave Long a check for
the money. 1t is said this was the reason
why Crowley was removed as attorney in
the case and Monteith substituted.
Winifred Morton denied that she had en-
gagged Long or authorized him to collect
the money from Green.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, July 5.-The Code
Commissioners report good progression the
work of revising the codes. They are at
present working on the Penal Code. The
intention is not to rewrite the code en-
tirely, butte change parts where the phrase
ology is ambiguous, and parts not broad
enough to cover certain crimes will be
changed, if possible, to prevent the escape
of criminals because of any technicality of
the code law. Commissioner Wallace
thinks they will be ready to report on the
Penal Code by the LIST of August.
The commission will take up the Politi-
cal Code next and will probably fayorably
consider the abolition of certain offices and
commissions, as suggested by Governor
Budd in his inaugural address, for the pur-
pose of retrenchment.

to work again. This morning the classes
were well represented and more delegates
arrived to swell the already large number.
The weather has been beautiful and the
ChautauQuans are combining study and
pleasure and are having altogether fine
time. The moonlight evenings have been
spent in watching the breakers along the
shore and in driving, the latter forming a
popular feature of the recreation this year
A party of Chautauquans visited the old
city of Monterey to-day and took notes on
the historical landmarks of that place
These were discussed at forum hour. The
lecture of DR.. GunSauluS, which was billed
for 3 o'clock, was changed to the forum
hour to accommodate the doctor, who
wished to go to San Francisco, where he
will lecture in Plymouth Church to-mor-
row night. The subject of the discourse
was ALFRED Tennyson. He said Tenny-
son was the first great English poet to in
duence religious thought. Tennyson had
the most remarkable career of any poet in
England, and had a message to deliver to
the spiritual life of the nineteenth century.
He gave as a reason for the people not
reading Tennyson as much as they did
twenty years ago that he had trained the
reading public unconsciously and mad
paved the way for his successor Brown
ing).
He was followed by Professor Ivey with
a talk upon art.
