tending the award of the city prin ting.
in The course of a year it sometimes
amounts to many thousands of dollars,
and as it gives the lucky paper an oficia
standing which is of benefit in many ways
the prze is worth seeking.
Many years ago there were but three
papers in Oakland, the Times, Tribune
and Enquirer, and after bidding against
each other and cutting prices SO low that
it barely paid for printing, they entered
into a com bination TO charge substantial
price and divide the profits. Politics,
however, cut so large figure in Oakland
journ aiism that 1t was found i'm posi- BILE
10 have harmony in the business offices
and bitter warfare editorialIy, so the COM
bination was broken.
-Four years ago the Times, in it's anxiety
TO be the official paper, offered to do the
work for a few cents for the whole year,
and of course was awarded the bid. One
year of this experience, however was
enough, ard since then the Times has
been merely an adjunct to the Enquirer,
and the real fight has been between the
two evening papers.
This year there was an additional COM
petitor-the Morning Telegram-wh ch
was transplanted from Alameda about
six months ago. With four papers in the
field it was impossible to make any COM
bination, and as the c. m mpetition was free
for all the Oakland Record made its APP
pearance a week ago.
Yesterday morning when the bids were
opened it was learned for the first time
that Oakland had still another daily pa
per-the Morning Advocate-and volume
l. No. 1, was inclosed as a sample. This
put six papers in a position to bid for the
city printing, but the Record of a week
was pronounced the lowest bidder and the
contract will be awarded to it at the next
meeting. 1t will receive 30 cents a square
for the first insertion of official printing,
and will publish all subsequent insertions
free. This rate will amount to several
thousand dollars less in the course of the
ensuing year than was paid last year.

CALAMITY TO HUNTERS.
Harry Young and James Rusby Fall
Down Strawberry Creek
Embankment.


BERKELEY, CAL, July 22.-Three East
Berkeley small boys, Harry Young, Frank
Rodgers and James Rusby, went hunting
yesterday, and before they returned met
with serious disaster, which will conf ne
two OF them to their rooms for some time
to come. Young has a broken lett a rm
and Rusby deep cash across the head.
The trio started out to shoot birds with
airguns, along Strawberry Creek. When
near Grove street they approached too
near the steep rocky declivity, and Young
losing his balance pulled Rusby down
with him. They tumbled into the creek
bed, distance of about fifteen feet, and
landed on its stony bottom. Bleeding
and frightened almost out of their senses
the two lads were picked up and con-
veyed home, where it was found that
Young had fractured arm and Rusby a
cracked head.
Trestle Burned.
BERKELEY, CAL, July 22.-One OF the
longest trestles of the California and Ne

yesterday afternoon. 1t crossed the CT eek
at a point opposite the Sheldon School,
house and was 120 feet in length. The
loss is thought not 10 exceed $1,000.
The fire is thought to have been caused
either side of the track by the section
hands earlier in the day.
Repairing will be made as soon as pos

DOGS Run 1MUC6.
One Dog Bites Several Others and Togeth-
er They Bite Number OF People.

A yellow dog scooting down the street
with n tin can attached to its tail is an
inspiring sight for the small boy, but
when the dog is suffering with black
tongue" IL may not be such an interest
ing thing 20 run afoul of.
Some boys attached a can 10 n stray
dogs tail Saturday evening and the dog
STATED off, but pretty soon the tin can
became detached.
Then the canine went off on 4 ramp
age on it's own account, and Saturday
night a number OF other dogs were Bit
ten by the stray cur and scores of people
frightened. No one was hurt Saturday
night, however, at least so far as the re-
turns so. and the dog was lost IA the
darkness OF night.
Sunday morning tho dog started out
again on the rampage and FOR long time
il created lots Of eXcitment.
TIE pedestrians on Main street, near
Ninth were attracted by :the strange ac-
tons OF the dog and gave chase. and Up
10 Broad they ran in pursuit Of the dog.
The canine escaped, however but later
showed up al Ninth and Grace streets az
people were going 20 St. Pauls church
and the Cathedral. and great congterna-
ton prevailed Ladies and children ran

way quickly A few bold individuals.
however, ran after the dog and drove Il
UP Seventh street 70 Broad, from whence
the dOg led the crowd out TO Jackson
Ward. and near the corner Of ST. James
and Duval streets a little son OF DR.. Roy
was bitten.
From this section the dog ran back 10
Broad street. At the corner OF First and
Broad streets the dog ran afoul or officer
Harris and grabbed at him. catching his
sieeve in his mouth, but the policeman
knocked the dog on. and the animal ran
on and on, until IL wound UP at Reservoir
and Cary streets. Al this point a woman
and child got into the way of the dog
and were victims Of its teeth. The dog
was driven off by Dairyman Patlllor, and
It ran back down town.
Several dogs ran in the road and got
the worst OF it. and later on these dogs
also ran amuck. On south Pine street
an innocent dog was bitten, az was also
a dog belonging TO James Kennedy, Of
China street. and one belonging to A.
Delasanders, Of south Pine street, near
China.
Oficer Sale shot Mr.. Kennedys dog.
and the dog belonging TO Mr.. Delasandors
is now under lock and key.
Later in the evening the dog was driven
by q number of citizens 70 n vacant

TO PREVENT LYNCnING yY LAW.

Suit has been brought against the coun-
ty of Orangeburg, South Carolina. TO re-
cover damages on account OF the lynch
ing at Stillton of a negro named Brown,
who was lynched for barn burning. The
suit is the first TO be brought under the
new constitution which contains a pro-
vision making counties liable in the sum
Of 5000 damages 10 the legal representa-
tives Of q citizen who has been taken off
by mob law.
Two years ago Governor O'Ferrall re-
commended that a law be enacted by the
Legislature similar to the above and re-
ncwed the recommendation in his last
message as noticed In these columns at the
time. We took occasion then to say that
I'm our opinion it was a sort OF contradc-
ton TO attempt to prevent men from vio-
,ating the fundamental law Of the land by
special enactment and the Washington
Post, in commenting on the South Caro-
lima laws takes much the same view.
The Post says:
There IS no question that, IL the tax
payers Of a county are compelled 70 pay
$1,000 for the unlawful killing Of a man,
they will be very unwilling TO have men
unlawfully killed in their county. II Is
almost equally certain that if the men Of
substance in a county, those who own the
taxable property, and from their position
have a weighty influence in the creation
OF public opinion. decide that there must
be no more lynching. that sort Of hom-
icides will rarely occur
But whether this law can be enforced in
all the counties and in all cases Is doubt
full. IL the moral sentiment Of a COM
munity justihes, as IL sometimes does,
the summary taking off of a monster no
jury drawn from the people of the vicin-
age will agree to pay damages 10 the
victims heirs. Verdicts in opposition TO
law and evidence or hung 1ujries will be
the result of every trial under this act
in counties whose citizens approve the
lynchng Of the: man on whose account
the suit is brought.
1t has now bedome hackneyed phrase
that all law Is the creature Of public sem
timent and that no law can be enforced
that is not supported by the body polite.
II may be, however, that some such
statute as Governor O'Ferrall recom-
mends will have the effect to arouse pub
lie sentiment to the necessity OF discount
tenancing mob law and in that way some
good may be accomplished.
