sidewalk leading to the cellar in front of the
confectionery store, at No. 23S Washington
street. owned by John Won Deesten. The
little girl was looking in the window at the
goods displayed The hole sne fell through
was alongside, just under the window, and
should have had the iron gratings which
cover it at night drawn over.
The child sustained green fracture of the
left arm. Suit will, in all probability, be
brought against Won Deesten for damages by
the childs parents.

British Surveyors Assume That
They Have Gained Their
Point.
MAKE A GUERRILLA FIGHT.
England Will Have a Hard Battle to
Take Possession of the
Land.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov 20.-The follow
ing excerpt from private letter received
in this city from Juneau, Alaska, may be
taken as a fair criterion of the general feel
ing among the Americans of that country
over the boundary question:
"The surveying parties of both countries
have stopped here on their way down. L
took the opportunity of conversing with
members of each. The British, while non
committal, carried with them an air OF as
surance which plainly said: We have
gained our point. This country is ours.
They moved faster than our Government
surveyors, and seemed to think because
they had gone over the ground ahead OF
the Americans that by right OF priority
the boundary should be changed to the
line they have run, as though this question
could be settled on the same basis as
mining location dispute.
"Our own men contend that instead of
the line being moved toward the coast, as
a matter of fact England is now occupying
Alaskan territory that does not belong to
her, and that the line should go east
almost half mile.
"What has worked the people of thi
section up to fighting pitch is the bare
possibility OF England ever occupying
Juneau and Douglass Island, for if their
contention is agreed to Douglass Island
and the big TreadweE mine will go to
them. through the Alaskan archipelago in
this latitude stretching far to the west
ward. But depend upon it, such will
never transpire. England would have to
overrun this country with troops. and fill
the channels with men-of-war to hold it.
with the men we now have, by making
guerrilla fight, as the Cubans are doing,
and enlisting the Siwashes, we could hold
off an army for year without any great
assistance from the outside. We are thor
oughly organized and hold regular meet
ings, at which plans of defense have been
discussed, and 1 assure you the first de-
tachment of redcoats coming into the
country would meet with d merry Ieeep-
ton"

IN CHRIS EVANS CELL.
Clark E. Wood Held at Fresno in Default
of Three Thousand Dollar
Rondc

FRESNO, Call, Nov. 2O.--Clark E. Wood.
the defaulting ex-Deputy County Clerk
and ex-member of Fresno's police force, is
now quartered at the County Jail IN the
Evans cell, SO called because it is the one
in which Chris Evans was confined while
here.
1t seems that Wood has taken different
view Of matters since the Grand Jury in
dicted him on a charge of perjury. He
had expected that only embezzlement
would be charged against him. Before the
Grand Jury returned the indictment Wood
said that he was willing to take whatever
punishment should be melted out to him,
and returned from flight for that purpose.
Now he has retained Attorney Mark
Walser to defend him and will make a
fight to clear himself. He thinks a long
term in the penitentiary Is not desirable.
His bail is fixed at $4,000, which he says he
can easily furnish.
Wood said that many of his friends had
called at the jail and offered to go on his
bond, but for the present at least he
thought it would be better to remain
where he is. Before his downfall Wood
was very popular young man.

The books now in use by various offices, and
especially those of the Auditor and Treasurer,
do not comply with the law. They are COM
piled without any regard 10 Il system, improp-
erly ruled, and do not carry all the accounts
running from one Office 10 another, and hence
are not check one upon the other.
In some offices no Textbook has been carried.
The Treasurer's caShbook was not such as he
required. The present Auditor Is not satisfied
with the manner OF keeping accounts that has
been adopted. We would recommend 10 the
Board of Supervisors that they adopt Il system
OF keeping public accounts and abolish the
style of bookkeeping which is now carried on
by the different offices.
The carelessness on the part of the board
in reference TO the coyote-scalp bounties is
severely commented upon.
In the matter of awarding contracts for

liar and questionable methods of proce-
dure.
The contracts ennmerate about twenty upon
which the bid is based. And some of these ar
iicleS are given in duplicate /. e, tea is quoted
AT two prices, coffee 1T two prices. The de
mands reveal the fact that these articles are
paid for at the highest price named and no
mention made of the quality.

listed good round retail price is charged and

for drugs. The list of necessary articles bid
upon is Inadequate TO the requirements, ana
some not much used are out of proportion in

should be abolished. for under its working
the few are favored and the public treasury

Conflicting Testimony Given by
the Expert Who Examined
the Accounts.
LIKELY TO END IN ACQUITTAL
II Is Believed the Prosecution Has
Failed to Establish Its
Case

BAKERSFIELD, Cali, Nov. 30.-No
trouble was had in securing jury 10 try
ex-County Treasurer and Tax Collector T.
A. Baker, indicted by the recent Grand
Jury for the alleged embezzlement OF
money belonging to the county, the de-
tense raising no objection 70 the first
twelve men called.
Expert Edgar Moore, on whose evidence
the indictments were found, was the only
witness for the prosecution. He alleged
that Baker had embezzled $i25 collected
for liquor licenses and which he had not
turned over To the county as he should
but on cross-examination Moore admitted
that he was mistaken in three of the
charges. In two cases the meney had been
paid over and in one case the license was
issued in 1898 and not 1894. lie finally
threw the whole blame for the mistake
upon one of the clerks VINO had assisted
him in the investigation-T. Il. Pottinger.
1t was next brought out that in some
cases the expert had taken the collection
book of license stubbs as correct, but in
others he had rejected it. Then the
Treasurer's books were sent for and TO the
surprise of all il was shown upon Moore's
oMh hEViSs duotou AAoAA tio pooAs 'ia'
Baker had actually paid into the treasury
the money for 292 licenses, while even the
expert had only charged him with pa
Instead of being behind he was actually
forty eight ahead.
Moore was Mt once called for the defense
and reiterated the statements brought ont
on the cross-eNamination. Baker then
went upon the stand and made an expla-
nation of the matter, showing that he had
accounted for every license and every dol
lar. EX-County Auditor Howell corroho-
rated him. The case was then closed.
The lawyers will argue the matter in the
morning and the case will then go to the
jury. II is the popular belief here that
the jury will acquit in n few minutes, and

PRACTICE At STANFORD.
Reliance Boys Held Down to an
Even Score by the Col
lege Team.
More Than a Match for the Visitors,
They Prove Themselves Good
Players.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Nov.
20.-In the second hard practice game
here this evening Stanford held the Re-
lance down TO an even score, after an
hours hard play, of S to s. Stanford
scored once in each half, Reliance scoring
both her touchdowns in the first half OF the
game. The play was much more spirited
than on previous evenings, and the college
men played better bail.
The Stanford team lacked some of her
varsity players, though she changed her
players during the game. Reliance was
unable TO use her interference TO such adj
vantage to-day as she did last evening.
The Stanford players effectively broke it
up. as rule. SIEVE raj long runs were made
by Walton and FricS, however. through
the aid OF interference. In the mass plays
the college men were more than a match
for the visitors. The wedges of the former
usually made long gains, but those tried
by Reliance were stopped up short, with
but few exceptions.
In punting Weldon was not equal to the
work done by Walton, though he bucked
the line hard and made some fine tackles.
The Stanford line had hard work holding
Mcmillan down; he was often through on
q runner before the latter got started. The
work of Jack Reynolds in end-running and
bucking was of high merit to-day. Dole,
who played the first half of the game
proved a fine tackler, and as a halfback
made some beautiful gains. Fisher again
distinguished himself as plunging line
smasher
Fisher played the best game ON the field
and leffs carried off the honors as end.
Cotton did fine work, but Thomas 1917, at
tackle, probably made the best show of
any man during the game. He broke
many yards behind the line. He was also
given the ball for runs and never failed TO
make respectable gains
