A Rrllfal Driver

A complaint has been lodged wi h THE
HERALD by reputable party to the effect
that there is great deal of brutality shown
by the driver of sprinkling wagon No. 2, to
the mules that draw it. This wagon
traverses Pico street in tile neighborhood
of Figueroa and Flower streets. The mules
are not entirely or properly broken, 1t is
said, and the driver, mistaking this mis-
fortune for unadulterated cussedness, be-
Iapors the animals numerically and with
out reason. iHE HERALDS informant
states that yesterday blood was drawn as
result of the brutal beatings given to the
poor animals. If the story is true. and
there is no reason to doubt it, the driver
should be made an example of and that
uIlicIly.

REVEREND CLAYTON WHITE
Is Arrested for Committing an Assault
on a Noisy Carpenter
PrcachingA Queer Character With
ilany Strange Experiences

The Reverend Clayton White, a gospel
saulting carpenter. White was holding
forth in his customary manner to q crowd
of elraptured listeners last night in front
OF q liquor store on the corner of First and
M 4in streets, when some carpenters who
could not appreciate true eloquence started
to work on some interior alterations. The
noise they made was deafenng, and the
brilliant bon mots aud pyrotechnical flights
of oratory on tho part of the Reverend
Clayton were lost in the clattering of ham,
mers and the wheezy SOU Ids of the saws.
He stood it for some time with martyrs
smile upon his face, then entered, and with
a courtly, old.world grace requested the
carpenters to stop working, as the people
could not hear his sermon. He went on
the principle that carpenters ye have al
ways with you, but of the Reverend Clay
ton Whites, in vulgar parlance, there are
only few of them left. Instead of quit
ting work on the spot the knights of the
hammer jeered at the sanity man, little
recking what would follow.
The reverend is Il man with record,
and has smitten many a man in his time,
SO when the carpenter j5ered, Clayton
billed. and behold, it was a migi,y bifr, so
great that men marveled, and cried, "Bully
for old White, put him to sleep"
But White was not looking for scraps
he has seen many of those in his eXper-
ience in Arizona and elsewhere, so he left
the fallen jeeror, land would have proceeded
with his preaching had not Officer Rom
come along and invited him to walk to the
police station. Meek and uncomplainipgly
White obeyed.
White Is well-read man, a lawyer by
profession, and has at least the virtue of
perfect sincerity in his belief. lie asks for
no money, as do some others.

Sentence NOT 50 HEAVY
The Case of Young Lamar Harris
of the High School
REPORTS IN THE MATTER
Suspension for the Balance of the School
Term
That Is the Dose In Store for the Youthful
Editor -in-Ch.e;-A n.norlty Re-
port to Be Filed
REPORTS IN THE MATTER

Lamar Harris, the 16.year-o!d son OF
Judge w. A. Harris, is not to be perma-
nently suspended from the high school,
after all.
Last night the high school committee of
the board of education, consisting of DR..
Wills and Directors Pitman and Garland,
met for the purpose of considering tho
charges against the young man formally,
as the boy ten days ago requested should
be d ne. Harris himself was not on hand.
He is confined to his bed with an attack
of measles. The boys father was present,
however, and made all earnest plea for
his son, stating that the youthful editor
was but boy, and that while lie did not
and had not shirked any responsibility i'll
publishing the article in the last issue of
the High School Lycsum in which some of
the faculty of the institution are rather Sc
verely criticised, he should not be punished
as severely as his suspension permanently
from the school would entail. Judge Har-
ris remarked that he is a taxpayer and an
ardent admirer of the free school system,
and as an old school director, he thought
that school discipline could be just as we'll
maintained if some consideration were
shown both to himself and to his son. He
decision OF the board of education. no mat
ter what the recommendation of the COM
mttee might be in the case then pending.
Prof. Housh, who is the prncipa! of the
high school, stated in answer to q question
that he thought that the boy had better
not, under the circumstances, again re-
turn as pupil to the school.
The committee after being in session be-
hind closed doors finally agreed to disa-
gree in its recommenda ion to the board of
education to be filed on Monday night.
DR.. Wills and Director fitman, after a
consultation with Prof. Housh and super
intendent Foshay, decided to recommend
that Harris he suspended for the balance
of the school term, while Director
Fulton favored suspension for
period of thirty days. Fulton's argu-
ment is, that in permitting the publica-
tion of the Objectionable matter in the
Lyceum, the faculty of the high school did
not display that Judgment which is con-
ducive to good discipline, and they are
therefore equally to blame with the cul.
prit who was on trial. AS a result, there
will be two different reports upon the mat
ter on Monday night.
Young Harris, as the editor-in.chief of
the Lyceum, permitted signed commu-
nication to appear in the last issue of the
paper, rejecting upon the professional
acts OF ne of his teachers. AS soon as the
paper 5 Oft the press, and had been
read by some of the faculty, the balance OF
the edition, which rad up to that time moi
been circulated, was promptly suppressed
The editor-n.chef was later suspended by
Superintendent Foshay, and appealed his
case with the result above.

"CLEM'S" BURGLARS
The Worthy Under -Sheriff's Latest Capture.
Quick Trip

The Worthy Under. .Sheriffs Latest Capture.
A Quick Trip
Under-SheriH Clements was the victim
of practical joke yesterday that caused
much merriment about the courthouse
during the afternoon. "Clem" is not as
young as lie used to be. and with increas-
ing years has laid on flesh to a considera-
BILE degree, but lie is just as alert and keen
on the scent of all eyil-doer as in the days
when, as youthful deputy constable, he
was the terror of the festive "hobo" and
the wandering tramp. Consequently when
a wild-eyed messenger rushed into the
sheriif's office yesterday about noon and
announced that couple of burglars had
been captured out on Vernon avenue and
were being held until the arrival of the
officers, "Clem," in the excitement of the
moment, forgot all about his dignity as the
second peace officer of the county, and
buckling on his trusty ''gun" started for
the scene of the trouble.
The trip was made in quick time, but
on arriving at the place Ind Gated, all
hopes of IA heroic capture were soon dissi-
pated, and the temperature in the immed.-
ate vicinity climbed up several degrees
while Glenn was relieving his feelings. In
place of two desperate burglars to tackle,
only a harmless dummy was found, SO the
prisoner was left behind.
1t appears that an old lady named Ny
ers, aged S6 years, who lives with her hus-
band, older than herself, in little house
out on Vernon avenue, was tho first victim
of the joke. A couple of mischievous boys
rig0ed up dummy and placed it against
the door of the cd lady's cottage, which
opens inward. They. then made a noise
to attract Mrs. Myers attention, and when
she opened the door the dummy fell
against her. The old lady was game, how
ever. and promptly grappled with the sup
posed burglar, threshing him about the
floor for several minutes before she dis
covered her mistake.
The joke was too good to keep, and
word was sent to the sheriif's office, as
stated. Any allusion to burg ars yester-
day in the presence of the under-sheritf
was good for smile.

The supervisors are experiencing consid-

unlawful assessment OF government
claims. In many instances these claims
have been assessed 10 the owners before
they acquired title from the governmen t,
which, it is claimed, under the law, is
illegal, as the state and county has no right
to tax government land. Under law
passed by the last legi -lature, these delin-

less the amount claimed is paid up in
March. The matter has been referred to
