Reasons Why the Geary-Street Fran
chise Matter Should Be Allowed
to Go On.

The Board of Supervisors yesterday
fred the first gun in defense of its action
in the matter of letting the Geary-street
railroad franchise. City and County At
torney Harry T. Cresweil, acting in behalf
of the board, filed three demurrers, one to
each of the petitions filed by George 4.
Fletcher on August 3.
Fletcher's petitions prayed for an in
juction commanding the board not to sell
the right of way on August 8; another
asked that writ OF prohibition. restrain
ing the board from further action in the
matter. be issued; the third requested the
issuance OF writ of review, comman ding
the Supervisors to appear before the
Superior Court and expiain their action in
wishing to let the franchise at the terms
set forth in their resolutions.
Judge Datngerfield issued the two writs
and the Injunction as prayed for. Yes
terday was the last OF the ten days granted
by law in which the board might answer
or demur to the complaint against it. As
in the case of the accusation made charg-
ing certain members of the board with
crime IN reducing certain corporation
assessments the board preferred to take
refuge behind legal technicalities to COM

The three demurrers issued are short
and practically identical. 1t is set forth
in each that the defendants demur to the
complaint or petition of plaintiff upon
tie following grounds:
First-That the complaint, or petition,
does not state facts sufficient to constitute
a cause of action against said defendants,
or either or any of them, or to entitle the
petitioner to the issuance of writ or in
iunctlCh herein.
Second-That this court has no juris-
diction of the persons Of said defendants,
or of either or any OF them, or OF the SUBJ
ject-matter of said proceeding or to grant
the writ OF injunction herein.
Third-That said plaintiff or petitioner
has no legal capacity to sue herein.
For which reasons it is prayed that the
defendants be dismissed with their costs.

Wesley Reed appeared in court for the as
saulted peddler and wanted, by the testi-
mony of witnesses, to show the character
of the battery. The result was that, after
an exciting scene, the case was continued
until yesterday morning, in order that
Neagle might be represented by counsel.
The courtroom was packed by an ex-
pectant crowd, and several score of men
stood without vainly trying to gain an en-
trance some time before the case was
called. They knew the reputation of the
defendant. They hoped for something ex-
citing.
Those that had gained standing space
in that compact mass were not disap-
pointed. Eager, attentive and intensely
interested they watched dramatic scene
and heard dramatic story. And when
finally the Judge stopped the proceedings
and imposed the fine the exodus from the
courtroom was like that from theater
after the great new feature of vaudeville
programme has been given and the habit
ual theater-goers pass out indifferent as
to what may follow; it would be stale or
tame to them.
Neagle, the man who killed Judge Terry
men, the man who recently assaulted
Editor Barry and who pleaded guilty to
battery upon. the peddler. was the de-
fendant, handy man in the employ oil
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company.
The plaintiff was e peddler OF paste used
in the sharpening of razors. He had been
in the employ of the railroad. A little
over year ago, as developments showed,
the company had wanted him to go to
work in Texas after laying him off from q
completed job in the Sonth.
He wanted to come home. He was re-
fused an employees pass. He bought a
ticket and boarded a train. Far out on
the Colorado desert he was put off the
train according to explicit telegraphio
orders. When later he was picked up he
was nearly dead, famished, delirious from
heat, his tongue swollen and his feet al
most bursting his shoes. subsequently he
appealed to the railroad and was accused
of being insane. Then when he chose the
railroad building corner on which to sell
his wares for living he was accused of
threatening the lives of the officials and
was throttled and assaulted by Neagle, the
railroads handy man.
Such is the story in part developed and
illustrated in the Police Court yesterd ay
morning.
Bert Worthington, private secretary to
H. e. Huntington, was the first witness
called.
"Yes, | know A. ]. Collins" he said.
eI saw him on several occasions prior to
this charge of assault. He didn't come
into the building that morning. As was
coming along saw him holding razor in
his hand. didn't know he was selling
any stuff. He was holding the razcr up
and fourishing it and when came by he

guardian of Anna Grace, for $4e9 25 balance

for. 1t seems, however, that the money was
lost in the wreck of the ll-fated steamer
Colima a. year ago, Isson had intrusted the
money TO his daughter-in-law, Clara Isson, to
take it to Central America and there change ii
into Central American coin. Because of the
wreck Isson lost both his relative and his
money. He claimed to be unable to repay
the estate, although judgment was obtained
against him for the amount. Therefore, his
sureties are sued.

There is nothing to prevent the
next legislature from giving us a
broad tire law There are other
laws needed to insure good roads,
but the tire law ought to be enact,
ed if all others fail, because narrow
tires aud good roads cannot go to-
gether. C. W, Townsend Of Sewic-
ley, Pa, in an article on broad tires,
says that he has seen forty broad
tired wagons belonging to 4 con-
tractor pass over a road where the
mud was six inches deep and make
good, hard road OF it. When the
same road was passed over after a
hard rain by wagons using 2-inch
tires, it was cut into deep ruts and
dried in great humps and in the
toughest possible condition, We
have all seen this in Arkansas in
fact, we have seen nothing else. A
broad tire law is absolutely neces-
sary whether we have any addition.

Do you know that fish killed as

Do you know that birds destroy

and that every little insect-eating
bird you may kill and every egg
you may take from its nest means
