ANOTHER LITTLE EXCITEMENT.
appearance of a Street Ploto AroWses the
Citizens Anger.


SAN LEANDRO. CAL. Jan. 22.-Every
thing is quiet here tonight, and as soon
as the rain commenced people left the
streets. There were few impromptu
mass meetings, and the high-handed pro-
ceedings that have characterized the rail-
road since it ran through the town were
roundly condemned. Marshal Geisenhofer
is the hero of the hour.
About 4 o'clock a street plow was
driven into town, and word was passed
along that the railroad company was in
tending to go about the laying of the
double track in spite of negotiations. A
crowd quickly gathered, but when the
plow was driven into yard and the
horses embarrassed quiet was soon re-
stored. The feeling in the town is very
bitter against the electric road, and every
thing that has caused friction in the past
is being eagerly discussed.
The question which came to head in
such startling manner to-day is one that
has been agitating the town for some time.
The railroad company secured franchise
from the County Supervisors emitting it
to lay single or double track upon the
county roads from Oakland to Haywards.
San Leandro is an incorporated town, and
TO pass through it a municipal franchise
was necessary. 1t was granted by the
Trustees, but there is a doubt whether it
| allows the company to lay more than
single track.
The merchants here think that double
track through the main business thor
oughfare will be too much of an OBJ
struction. To-day's monstration, how
ever, would never have been made solely
on that account. but there are many other
things that have caused feeling of bitter
ness Some time ago the Trustees licensed
the cars of the company, and it has since
resisted the payment of the license.
Then the company went into the ex-
press business and drove several local men
out of business. They inaugurated a policy
of all the traffic viii bear, and the people
along the road are very resentful. An
other grievance is that although the road
is making handsome profit, for new
road, as proved by the figures given to the
Supervisors during the last assessment
fight, they have taken steps to collect
promised bonuses from people who can
not afford to pay.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Jan. 22.-The
somewhat celebrated case of Tebbetts VS..
La Vies, editor of the Independent Pub
fishing Company, which has for several
months been dragging its way through the
local courts, was decided to-day by the
plaintiff being awarded $500 and interest,
amounting to $780, The suit grew out of
the transfer of the paper by Mr. Tebbetts
to La Vles three years ago in satisfaction
OF. OF a mortgage Tor $47O0, with certain con-
tingent agreements as to a surplus to De

to certain sum. A side issue arose in the
matter OF the salary of Te bbetts, who CON
tinued with the paper as business manager
until year ago, and much bitter feeling
has been engendered in the controversy,

our patronage from him, and it is this op-
position that is the cause, in large meas
ure, of the trouble to-day. Our only
object in laying double tracks is to I'M
prove our service and shorten about ten
minutes to Oakland. If there were any
competition in electric travel from Hay
wards to Oakland the matter would be
different, but as we shall carry no more
people than we do now, no matter what
tracks we lay, do not think we should be
SO bitterly opposed" ;"
