Some time ago a gentleman
from ward 2 of this parish came
to the Banner Office and made a
trade with us to publish a notice
of final proof to his homestead.
The application was properly sent
down by our clerk of court with
directions to return it to the Ban
ner of Liberty, but the notice has
never reached us yet. Last week
another gentleman from ward Q
came in and made arrangements
for the same kind of a job. The
result was the same, and last week
it appeared in the columns OF the
Signal. We consulted the clerk
(Mr. j. H. Tilman) in each case
to ascertain the cause and he stat
cd that, ''the Register at Natchi-
toches claimed be had the right to
choose between papers ; had been
patronizing the Signal a long time
and did not care to change" This
NAV be law but we do not believe
it possible for such an unjust law
to be in the statutes of the United
States.-Banner of Liberty.
Nothing wrong, Bro. Tabor, ex-
cept with Democrat officials.
Friends of this paper Louisiana
Popullst) have asked on divers oc-
casions to he allowed to publish
their notices in it, but were as Of
ten refused by the Register, Mr..
Edward Phillips.
He stated on one occasion that
the reasons why this paper could
not publish Homestead notices
were, first, because he had q right
to name the paper, and secondly,
because the editor and proprietor
Of our opponent, the Enterprise,
was his sister-in-law.
Splendid reasons !
When Messrs. Duplex and Flan-
ner were in the Land Office here q
homesteader could publish his no
tice of Final Proof where he pleas
cd, which opened the matter to
competition and protected the set
tier. Only the other day Mr.. j.
H. Morse of this parish, was CON-
PEELED to 'sfork over" six dollars to
the Enterprise for publishing q
notice which we have never charg-
ed over Five dollars for, and which
we have known published under
competition for Three dollars.
There is seldom a bitter without
. sweet, and one of the sweet
things about the bitter result OF
the late campaign is that these Of
fcers will be kicked out and 9TH
ers put in, who will at least recog-
nize the rights of few others
than themselves and families.

LAYMAN's THANKSGIVING.
Oh, great Architect of the in
finite, to whom a thousand years
are as a day, we ephemeral, van
ishing creatures bow before Thee
in quiet, humble thanks.
For immeasurable space, so ex-
tensive that the most cunning de-
vices of men turn us back defeat
ed from all attempts to set its
bounds; for the weight of our
world and of all the other won
derous, unsupported, circling bo-
dies, so ponderous that the human
mind reels in computation, we
thank Thee, Thou who art power.
For the accurate movement of
each star, revolving in its orbit
with precision lndescribable for
the visible voice of the heavens,
our perennial time-piece for the
inclination of the axis of our
world, SO cunningly devised to
give comfort and advantage in the
changing seasons and the broaden
ed area of habitation, we thank
Thee, Thou who art order.
-
Oh, thou Mechanic of the in6n-
ltesimal, we who are not the least
of all Thy creatures enter Thy
presence with praise.
For the perfect detail in the
short-lived gnat, dancing in the
light of the dying day for the
structural adaptation of those crea-
lures that escape our vision save
as the eyes are aided by the micro
scope; for the pervasiveness of
life, things even that die being the
sustalners of things that live; for
the evasiveness of life, SO that af-
ter all research we give up fooled
in every attempt to find a natural
origin for life in the tiniest atom;
for all these things we thank Thee,
Thou who art life.
For our own bodies, sacred be-
cause they are Thy handiwork, 80
brief in their endurance and yet so
potential because of the blessing
or sorrow we pass to those who
come after us; for our brains and
their power to set us on the apex
of all living things; for thought
and its products in solid form that
are seen in every direction; for the
challenge to effort that comes from
the elusive secrets of nature; for
tho power to conquer and trans
form this inert world beneath our
feet, we thank Thee, Thou who
art supreme intelligence.
-
Oh, thou Mind of the universe,
we who detect in ourselves free-will
and an individual consciousness
that separates us from the beasts
and gives US q sense of kindship
with Thee, approach Thee with as
surance.
For the protest of the human
mind against the claim of any hu-
man knowledge to be final and CON-
plete; for all honest doubt that
drives US steadily forward to clear
or comprehension; for the great
scientists who have helped to shake
the dead husks from creeds and
opened the eyes of their makers
and preachers to a fuller religion,
wherein the unity and comprehen-
siveness of Thy plan for onward
movement, both in nature and in
revelation, are more fully recog
nized we thank Thee, Thou who
art not far from any one of US.

and ceremonies; for the universal

The Dunlap case of cruelty to animals
was continued yesterday, and not until
the afternoon did the jury retire to con-
slider their verdict. At a quarter to they
returned into court with a rather curious
verdict. James Dunlap was found mot
guilty." and with regard to Henry Dun
lap, father of the last named, the jury
disagreed. They not only disagreed, but
stated that there was no chance of
unanimous determination being arrived
at. Upon this showing the jury was dis
charged and James Dunlap released.
Henry Dunlap will still be held on his
bond until the district attorney deter
mines whether the facts warrant a re-
trial of his case.
The case was tangled up one at best.
The Dunlaps had leased a ranch from
DIR. Kneipper, and it is claimed that the
doctor owed some money to them, which
he denied and some i'll feeling resulted.
The charge was made that one of the
horses had not only been abused with
the whip, but had been starved until
it gnawed at the woodwork of the stall
in the stable. Witnesses testified, how
ever, that well fed horses as frequently
gnawed at the woodwork Of the stall as
ill fed ones. One witness, however,
stated that he could see the ribs show
ing through the horses hide long way
off, and so Assistant District Attorney
Williams took the jury down to the Tenn
pie street side of the court house to view
the animal When the horse was
brought up from the stable the witness
statement was found to be gross ex-
aggeration, for the nag looked in pretty
good shape.

VERNON ROAD FUNDS.
The City Seeking to Recover Money Due
by the County.

That portion of the Vernon district
recently annexed to the city is endeavor-
ing to obtain from the county the pro-
portion Of the money iu the Vernon dis
trict road fund which properly belongs
to 1t.
With this end in view suit was begun
yesterday by the city Of Los Angeles
against County Auditor Bicknell. 1t is
alleged that here was a property tax
levied in the old Vernon district for
the fiscal year 1S95-96 of go cents on the
$100. Nearly all Of the money was col
lected and 10 per cent was paid into the
road fund. There was also special
road poll tax which yielded $25S.40 In
all there was deposited $137s.64.
By annexation a portion of the Yer
non district was embraced in the city,
and the board Of supervisors lost con-
troll. The total value of the property
lying within the annexed district, as
shown by the assessment roll, is $3.50, $40
and the total value Of the property in
the unannexed district of Vernon is
S162, ,185. On this basis the proportionate
amount falling to the city is 1104. AS.
and for this amount judgment is asked

A CURIOUSLY TANGLED CASE
J. Dunlap Acquitted and Scotch Verdict
for His Father
A San Pedro Street Resident objects 10 q
Blacksmith Shop
Eleven Suits Against the Southern Cal
ifornia Railroad Company Pend
ing-Beyrle's Writ of Execu-
ton Stayed-Notes.

A case of passing counterfeit coin was
under examination yesterday in the
United States district court before
Judge Wellborn and jury, which con-
tanned certain elements Of aggravated
meanness that made the defendant ap-
pear in a peculiarly odious light-that
is always presuming that the state
ments of the prosecution are correct.
Edward Smith, the defendant under
trial, was convicted some time ago on
charge similar to that for which he is
now standing trial. He was granted a
new trial, however, and on that and
several other counts he will yet be
brought to task.
Smith is Canadian by birth, and on
Sept. 1, 1895, went to the room of Miss
Mollie Finlay, a young lady fair of face
but frail of morals, who at that time
resided in the Alameda house, and OBJ
tanned change for S. gold piece. She
testified yesterday while on the witness
stand that Smith seemed eager to be
gone, and having received $3.50 in sill
yer he made off. His curiously suspi-
cious behavior made Miss Finlay
thoughtful, and she took the gold coin
she had received to the landlady of the
Alameda house, and had the doubtful
satisfaction of learning that it was
counterfeit.
The defense tried to shake this wit
ness testimony on the ground of iden-
tification, it being several months after
she received the coin from Smith to the
time Of his arrest, when she identified
him at the police station. She confessed
she had never seen Smith before the
time he appeared in her room, and then
only for a very short time. but his
suspicious manner of deporting himself
fixed his appearance on the tablets of
her memory, and she was positive in
identifying Smith as the man.
Several witnesses in the case are from
San Francisco, where Smith is wanted
on a similar charge. Two of his pals,
who are said to have operated with him,
are now doing time in San Quentin, and
mis- chances of following them seem to
be fairly good.
The further hearing will be continued
today

HAS A GRIEVANCE.
A Resident on San Pedro Street objects
to q Smithy.

George. W. Frasher has a grievance
against the board Of fire commissioners
and has instituted suit. He lives down
on San Pedro street closely adjacent to
the blacksmith establishment now car
ried on by Henry Dennison. He claims
that the fire commissioners granted a
permit to Henry Dennison and Charles
Tucker to carry on their establishment
on q petition that did not bear the neces-
sary signatures of three-fourths Of the
property owners in the block.
For this reason the plaintiff asks the
court to review the action OF the fire
commissioners, that the permit be de-
clared void and he be awarded $500 dam
ages he has sustained by the conduct Of
the blacksmith shop.

WHO WILL TAKE THE MONEY
A Special Park policemsn Finds Himself
10 Quandary
He Has $3.50 on Hand and Does Not
Know How to Get Rid Of It-A
Peculiar Proceeding.

For almost q month past there has
been a great deal of talk about the city
hall regarding q special officer Of the
police force. whose appointment was Sc
cured at the request of the park COM
missioners, to look after public morals
in Westlake park. Reference is had to
John B. Calhoun, who for some months
has been on duty at Westlake at night,
seeing that order was enforced. The cir
cumstance that has caused the talk was
bad break made by Calhoun over a
month ago, when he one night consti-
tuted himself a Judge and jury to try,
convict and fine an alleged offender, and
then to collect the fine. This he is al
legged to have done, but he has had diff
Guilty in turning the money into the city
treasury, as no official will accept it.
At the time mentioned party of Ari-
zona people were visiting in Los Angeles,
among them young man and a young
lady. They had completed their visit
and were to return home the next day.
The night before their departure the
aforesaid young man and lady took a
ride out to Westlake park It was while
they were sitting on the grass that CAL
noun suddenly made his isappearahce and
placed the young man under arrest,
showing his star. OF course, consterna-
tion reigned. The young fellow had done
nothing to be arrested for, he claimed, q
and was appalled, by the prospect of be-
ing taken to the police station and hav-
ing any publicity. He pleaded with CAL
houn and also put forth the argument
that he was going away the next day and
would be put to great Inconvenience
and expense by remaining over to ap-
pear in court. He asked whether or not
the matter could be squared, inquiring
what the charge would be- and what
would probably be the amount of the
fine.
Calhoun told him he would probably
get SO, whereat the young man pro-
duced $3.50, all he had, and gave 1t to the
on1cer to settle the case for him. Calhoun
accepted the money and let the couple
go. They returned to their friends and
told Of the affair. c. A. Sergeant, whom
they were visiting, at oncd took the
matter up and declared the proceeding
irregular and unusual, and promised to
investigate. 1t appears that the next
day Calhoun called on the mayor and
told him of what he had done, desiring
to turn in the money. He was told to
see the chief Of police. as he had no right
to accept the coin.
Meanwhile Sergeant had called on
Chief Glass and laid the matter be-
fore him, asking that the money be re-
turned to the owner When, finally, Cal
houn called on the chief, that official
fatty refused to take the troublesome
$3.50 and would have nothing to do with
the matter. Here, then, the case has
rested. Several Of the park commission
ers have had their attention called to 1t,
but no action has been taken. Where the
V.5O Is at present is unknown, but pre-
sumably Calhoun still has it in his Gus
tody, as he could not get any one to take
It OFF his hands.
