The Writ Dismissed

Charles G. Daniels was before Judge
Mckinley yesterday on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. 1t appeared that Daniels, with
a man named Charles Haines, was arrest
ed by the police detectives Friday forenoon
and locked up without complaint being
sworn out against them. When this fact
was learned by Mr.. Parsons, attorney for
Daniels, yesterday morning he at once in
stituted habeas corpus proceedings in or
der to hurry up the officers. This move
was called, Clerk Cottle was on hand with
his prisoner. and armed with warrant
which had just been sworn to, charging
Daniels with forgery. the complaining wit
ness being Nathan Jacoby. AS all that
was desired was to find out the offense
with which the man was charged, the pro-

cred cautions concerning the teaching of
physics. He would pl ace the best teachers
with the beginners. He would beware OF
dogmatic people in all grades.
Professor Slate of Berkeley continued
the discussion by stating that during the
last five years the subject of physics had
been gradually lowered from the higher
classes of the university to the freshman
year, and finally to the high school.
Professor Dickinson and Professor Bal
ley made few remarks upon the same
subject.
Following were elected as the officers for
ike ensuing year: President, j. A. Foshay
OF Los Angeles; vice-president, w. J. Bal
ley of San Diego; secretary. J. B. Willard
OF Los Angeles; treasurer. N. \. Richard
son of San Bernardino; railroad secretary,
Hugh j. Baldwin of San Diego.
1t was decided to hold the next meeting
at Los Angeles.
The committee on resolutions reported
in favor of asking the school children of
America to contribute toward the expense
of building q monument to 5. F. Smith,
the author of the poem, America; and
thanking the professors of Stanford and
Berkeley for their help in the work of the
association. Mr.. Hutchinson moved to
amend the latter by thanking the entire
faculties of Stanford and Berkeley for
their joint public conference, just held
here.
The resolution concerning the contribu-
tons of the school children toward the
fund for the monument, caused an acrim-
onious debate that lasted half an hour, and
resulted in the rejection of the resolution.
Another stormy season was caused by the
introduction of series of resolutions by
Professor c. Y. Roop of Santa Barbara.
The list included re solutions in favor of
manual training schools in all of the com.
munities, the abolition of the state text
book system, the furnishing of free text
books by the state. the removal of the re.
strictions on male teachers, and the invita-.
ion or the National education association
to hold it's next session in Los Angeles.
For fully an hour fierce parliamentary
battle was waged between scores of the
champions of the ideas represented by
these resolutions. The vote was tasen
dozen times and division was called for
almost as often. Professor j. L. Wright
of Newhall appealed from the decision of
the chair and caused lively side skirrnish
Mr.. Hutchinson moved the adoption of the
resolution inviting the National Educa-
tional association to hold its next session
at Los Angeles, and that was the only
resolution that was carried.
The ubiquitous state text book question
caused most of the bitterness of the de-
bate, and the resolution concerning it
seemed on the point of passing dozen
times, and it was beaten at last.
Those who took part IN the animated
discussion were: Prof. G. Y. Roop of
Santa Barbara, Prof. Melville Dozier of
Los Angeles, Prof. J. f. Wright of New
hall. Prof. Twining of San Bernardino,
Prof. Keran of Santa Ana, Prof. Hafford
of Los Angeles. and Edward L. Hutchin-
son.

Two Commitments to the Highlands Asylum
BY Judge Mckinley
Lucy Dubois was yesterday examined as
to her sanity before Judge Mckinley by a
commission consisting of Drs. Cochran
and MCGOWAN. and being adjudged insane,
was ordered committed to the asylum at
Highlands. The unfortunate woman is q
complete mental and physical wreck from
the excessive use of alcoholic stimulants.
1t was shown that for months she had con-
sumed two quarts Of whisky a day.
}. M. Covington, the elderly man who
walked into the sheriff Office day or two
ago, and surrendered himself, saying that
he was the Whi.echapel murderer. Jack
the Ripper, was also examined before
Judge Mckinley by commission consist
ing of Drs. Bryant and Davidson. He also
was adiudged insane and was committed
to the asylum at Highlands. Covington
imagines that the murders were committed

which judgment and the order denying a
new trial the defendant appealed. The SUI
preme court held that all the proceedings
in the trial court we're regular and without
error, but that the amount of damages
awarded was excessive, hence the judg-
ment is reduced to $500, with the alterna-
tive of new trial.
In the case of Ventura county, appellant
VS.. Henry Clay, county treasurer, and c
H. Bradley, respondents, the judgment APP
pealed from is reversed, and the court be
low is directed perpetually to enjoin the
treasurer of Ventura county, defendant
from paying the auditors warrant in favor
of defendant Bradley. as prayed by plain
tiff. The opinion is written by Commits
sioner Van Clief. CONQUERED in by Commits
sioners Britt and Belcher, and affirmed by
Justices Mcfarland, Henshaw and Tenn.
pie. This is an action to enjoin the treas
urer of Ventura county from paying an
auditors warrant in favor of defendant
Bradley for $40, for his services in col
lecting license taxes under an alleged con-
tract with the county. and allowed by the
board of supervisors as valid claim. This
action was brought by the district attor-
ney, who commended that the alleged con-
tract of Bradley, with the county. and the
allowance of Bradley's claim by the STU
pervisors. were unauthorized by law,
and therefore. that this action
was unauthorized by section OF
tne county RoVerntneHt ACT. ine Gauss
was tried by the lower court, whose find
ings and judgment were in favor of the de-
PENDANTS, from which appeal was taken.
The supreme court sustains the conten
ton of the district attorney on all points
and holds that section 154 of the county
government act has never been repealed;
that said section authorizes the tax col
lector to receive all license taxes imposed
by ordinance of the board; that the APP
pointment of said Bradley was not author
lied by law and that in consequence the
alleged contract was null and void and the
demand for the services rendered was not
a valid claim against the county, therefore
the treasurer is perpetually e1joined from
paying the same.

away for the occasion and the
coyotes and prairie dogs had taken
to their holes in terror. The con-
gregation gathered, but the pro-
ceedings opened without prayer.
Fitz reached for Makers stomach
but Mahsr lodged. Then Maher
reached for Fits left ear. but
missed. Meanwhile Fitz had been
getting his right fist into action
and proceeded to swing it around
his head three times, and,the fourth
time it came around it hit some
thing and that something 'drapped.'
1t was the man called Maher. The
sports howled, Fitz stuck $4,000
down in his pocket ard the crowd
dispersed without waiting for the
benediction. The coyotes crawled
out of their holes again, and as the
train steamed away human events
resumed their normal condition.

wealthiest citizens decided to fence
up a part of his land which joined
the public park on the bluff. An
other prominent citizen declared
that he had no right to close up
this land, as the town was entitled
to the free use of it. Mastering a
few of his adherents they destroyed
the fence one night. A law suit
followed and was decided in favor
Of the owner of the land. A very
bitter animosity had been engen-
dered between these two citizens.
The next night after the court de-
cided the case, the barn and con-
tents belonging to the owner of the
land, who. was physician, were
burned to the ground. Soon after
this the immense store Of the other
citizen was fired and destroyed with
all it's contents. The war was on,
and soon every man, woman and
child in the village had taken sides.
Each leader had a email army of
followers, many ofwhen were worth
less characters, men who would cut
your throat or fire your house for
SIS. In two years there were eight
residences, six stores, two factories,
two mills and seven barns burned.
The doctor lost his residence, was
shot twice by ambushed enemies,
his baby was killed in its mothers
arms as she sat by the window. Two
Of his followers were also killed.
The other side Jared equally as bad
two brothers being shot down side
by side. Now the once beautiful
village is a ruined waste Half of
it burned and people are afraid to
rebuild. The doctor and the mer-
chant who started the fued are still
there, and swear they will die in
their tracks. No grand jury has
ever been able to return a single
indictment, as people are afraid to
tell what they know.
This case reminds us of two farm
ers who were neighbors. One of
them grubbed up his fence row and
and threw the brush over in his
neighbours field. He threw it back
again and quarrel ensued, which
resulted in a suit for damages. Up
to this time the two families had
been very intimate. When Sunday
came Jones would take all of his
family and 80 over and spend the
day with Brown, and the next Sun
day Brown would return the visit
with all his family. When the suit
came up Brown filed a counter suit,
and among the articles specified by
him was $47.50 for board due him
from Jones on account Of Jones
numerous visits, Jones, not to be
out done charged Brown $36 for
SO loans Of an iron wash kettle, The
case was appealed several times,
and at last accounts it had cost
each farmer about $1,000.
