TRACK TROUBLES
SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.-The pro-
moters of the proposed new race track
ait San Clemente are in more trouble.
The Western Union has named a rate
for service to the foreign book which the
race track people think too heavy. The
company proposes to charge the San
Clemente people the sum of $500 a day,
Willie IOI d ike StENlCt 10 DOOI room
the expense is said to be about $50
Manager Jaynes of the Western Union
says that he is justified in charging a
much higher rate, as his company would
lose the patronage of three Sausalito
pool rooms, which would undoubtedly
be obliged to close down when the new
track opened, on account of diverted
patronage. The promoters of the San
Clemente scheme now threaten to build
track on this side of the bay and throw
down the gauntlet to both the existing
asspcia tions.

FIGEL'S HABITS
Were Not Those of a Model Book
keeper by Any Means

SAN FRANCISCO, June 24-When
the Hoffman inquest was resumed this
morning Coroner Hawkins announced
that he had twenty-four more witnesses
to examine, but expressed the hope that
it would not take very much more time
of the weary Jurors.
1t was shown this morning that al
though Hoffman borrowed 500 from
John Laurer, teamster. few minutes
before he met his death. only $5.45 was
the Receiving Hospital.
Expert Theodore Kytha created SEN
sation by stating his conviction that the
signature upon the receipt for $500 was
genuine; but that he was equally posi-
tive that the amount had been raised
from $500 to $500.
Other witnesses, business men, testi-
fed to the effect that they had spoken
to Hoffman at various times about rae
ing and betting men, and that the de-
ceased merchant had expressed sur
prise that his bookkeeper could afford
to bet as he did.
e. L. Atkinson, one of Figers agents in
racing ventures, swore that Figel told
him Hoffman's strange remarks before
the fire of 1895 He also related history
of his connection with Figel on the turf
and stated that Figers winnings
amounted to about $4,000. The biggest
winning the witness ever made for his
principal was $500 on The Bachelor, but
upon what date he could not remember.
William Taylor, another of Figel'S
agents. testified to having purchased
Tempestuous for the bookkeeper and
having placed some bets for him at diff
ferent times. The winnings amounted
to about $4,000. Taylor swore that one
night while doing some work for Figel
he smelt something burning and upon
investigation found that some clothing
in the rear Of the store was burning.
After extinguishing the blaze he sent
for Hoffman and showed him the place
where the fire had been. Instead Of
being excited Hoffman asked him why
he had not let it burn adding that the
insurance companies paid good prices.

Bad Irrigation Bonds

SAN FRANCISCO, June 4.-The su-
preme court has declared that the issuance
Of the bonds of the Central Irrigation dis
trict of Colusa county was void. The ques-
tion was brought to the superior court.
which held the issuance valid but the su-
preme court reversed that judgment upon
the grounds that in the notice given for
the formation of the district the persons
interested did not sign the printed notice
of intention to petition the supervisors call
ing for the vote to form the district; also
that the original petition was not signed
by the requisite number of owners of ag-
ricultural property whose property would
be benefited by the formation of an irriga-
tion district. The court plainly states that
because the district was not properly
formed it of necessity follows that the is
suance of the bonds is illegal.
