SANTA MONICA POLITICS
Some of the Elements OF Unanimity Are
Lacking
Citizens Ticket Which is Not Acceptable to
All Factions Even After Careful
Rearrangement

SANTA MONICA, March "A "citi-
zens" meeting was held at Santa Moni-
ca last night at which only A. P. A. q
were admitted, and from which all 9TH
ers were unceremoniously bounced.
Those who, after being invited, were
thus refused admittance, are indignant,
and il one wants to have real nice
time let him hunt up any of the three
score or more who are voters and were
refused admittance to the sacred
room.
The meeting of about forty was called
to order and L. B. Carlisle was made
chairman, DIR. Kuhns secretary, and @.
Keggins teller.
Four names were placed in nomina-
tion for trustee, three to be chosen,
with the following result; S. +. Car
penter, 25 votes; f. M. Culp, % votes /;
Moses Hostetter, 81 votes; DR.. i.
Kuhns, 16 votes.
For the office of clerk G. Fl. Thomas
was chosen without opposition.
For marshal, G. B Dexter was like
wise treated; also M. FL. Volkman for

votes, the three highest being chosen:

election committee consisting of
Messrs. Chatf1eld, Carlisle, McMullen,
DR.. Kuhne, M. Ii. Volkman and A.
Mills.
Today they brand the ticket citi-
citizens one, but where it comes in it
hard to state.
Anumber Of citizens were interviswed
this morning, who are indignant over
the treatment they received after being
invited, and laugh at the new would-be
political leaders who attempt thus be-
hind closed doors to name ticket for
them to vote for.
The meeting is the result of the fact
ional quarrel which has broke out with
great fury in the A. p. A. council here
and which has hopelessly split the or
gsnization into multitude of frag-
ments. In an effort to pacify all parties
committee was appointed consisting
OF Thomas b. Carlisle, Q. H. Thomas,
H. II. Lee, veteran named MCMILLAN,
M. Ii. Volkman, 8. r.. Chatfleld, An
drew Mills, DIR. N. Kuhns and j. S.
Wilson. It being understood that
candidates for office should not serve
on the committee, Thomas and Wilson
withdrew. Mr.. Lee also withdrew
later on.
On Saturday evening the committee
presented ticket as follows: For trus-
tees, f. M. Culp, Moses Hostetter; for
clerk, Charles H. Thomas; for marshal,
George b. Dexter; for treasurer, James
.. Wilson; and for library trustees, Z.
H. Sweetser, NJ. V. Volkman and George

SANTA BARBARA STREETS
Made the Subject of Superior Court
Litigation
Slayer OF Father Bsrgmeyer Incsrcer.
stei In an Insane Asylum

SANTA BARBARA, March AT the
instance of District Attorney A. A.
Oglesby Of this county, the state oi
California, through Attorney General
w. f. Fitzgerald, has commenced an
action in tho superior court against
the city Of Santa Barbara. TIE sllsga-
tions in the complaint now on file in
clerks Office are that for over twenty
years last past, Mission street has ex-
listed and now exists and has been con-
tinuously without interruption during
said period been used, travelled and
used for all purposes Of street; that
the county aforesaid and the de-
fendant city, respectively, through
their officials and employees, construed
eaid street, and have for the period
named maintained and kept the same
in repair; that during the month of
July, 1895, the defendant, through its
officers and employees. wrongfuliy and
without authority of law, erected and
now maintains, and threatens to per-
petually maintain thereon an obstruc-
tiOn in the nature of q plank, 43 feet
long, foot wide and 3 inches thick.
set on edge and spiked to a post driven
into the ground. aud running from the
southwestern line of Mission street,
directly into and across the same,
where it enters Hollister avenue and
De la Vina street; that said obstruc-
tions prevents free travel on said Mis-
sion street and is nuisance. That de-
fendant threatens to erect ana main
tain on Mission street like obstruc-
tions at the several points where the
street crosses Robbins, Gillespie, Chino,
San Andres, San Pascual, Rancheria,
Castillo and Bath streets.
Wherefore plaintiff prays that said
nuisance be abated, and that defendant
be perpetually enjoined from further
obstruoting said mission.
1t Is the general opinion that while
the object of complaint is one of the
the many remarkable absurdities Of the
present council, new set of council
men is to be elected on the 9th prox.,
and as they are likely to be men of
ability and common sense, the district
attorney should have awaited their ac-
tion.
At the municipal election next month
the people will elect, in addition to the
regular officers, fifteen freeholders to
frame new charter.
In committing the slayer OF Father
Superior Bsrgmeyer to Highland asy-

reasons the fact of Krusemeyer's previ-
GUS commitment and "killirg the ia.

morseful pity or regret, under the
delusion that the priest was savage
