BUTLER CEMETERY LOT.
An Injunction Granted Yesterday
by Judge Hughes.

The case of Ellen M. Butler against
Roxana Butler was before Judge
Hughes court again yesterday. The
plaintiff formerly held the place now
occupied by RoXana Butler as the wife
of Stephen Butler, Sr. She was repre-
sented in court by Attorney Victor L.
Hatfield, and won her case.
There is a family burial plat, in which
the former Mrs. Helen NJ. Butler owns
half interest. The new Mrs Butler re-
Gently undertook to make some i'm
provements on the lot, and had the
grass removed from it. This did not
suit Mrs. Ellen Butler, so she applied
to the court for an order restraining
her marital successor from further in
terfering with the lot without her con-
sent.
Judge Hughes granted the application.
The decree forever enjoins Roxana But
Ter from interfering with or trespassing
on the lot in question. Her husband, S.
w. Butler, is enjoined from making
any changes in the lot except with the
consent and approval of his former
wife, she being joint owner with him.
The decree is not to be entered for
twenty days to come, in order to give
s. w. Butler and his former wife an op-
pcrtunity to effect a division of their
interests in the lot.

AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION.
Why Should Not School Premises
Be as Pleasant as Homes.

Some years ago the schools of this
county inaugurated Arbor Day, on
which day the pupils of the various
classes planted out trees for the
adornnent and comfort of the prem
ises surrounding the various school
houses. Owing to lack Of irrigation fa-
cilfties but few of these trees remain
alive and the schoolhouses that by this
time would have been surrounded by
shade and ornamental trees had they
received proper attention. present very
little improvement in appearance.
County superintendent of Schools
Howard regrets the condition of af
fairs, and is making an attempt to once
more arouse the interest of pupils.
Trustees and parents in the matter of
making the school premises attractive
and homelize to the children He
therefore, proposes the erection of
windmills at the various schOolhouses,
where feasible and necessary. such

ton or out of the school funds. He

and points out the many advantages
to be derived from the adoption of the

Criminal Punishment in Cali
fOrnia.

Eds. Record Union: I noticed sew
eral articles in your paper recently,
copied from exchanges, in which the
lack of justice being administered in
capital criminal cases in California is
severely condemned; notably and chief
ly being that of Durrant, which was
made a precedent for others.
One of these exchanges would exon
crate the attorneys of Durrant from
all blame, on the plea that they were
obliged or bound to use every exertion
or means, no matter what, to defend
and acquit their client. Is that so? Not
at ALL In the first place they were not
obliged to take the case at all, and
in the second place they were not
obliged to continue in it and could
withdraw from it, if they desired to do
so. even in the midst of the proceed
| ings.
There was nothing to hold them, and
nothing to land them in any other di-
rection. They We're there under con-
tract to their client, or his representa-
tives. for a valuable money considera-
ton. a good sized fee, cash down, or a
contingent one payable on acquittal, or
both. They were certainly not giving
! their Time ana aIleHtIJH ~ lAe case
| for nothing. or in a spirit of Christian
| ity OF sympathy for a man who was
charged with a crime that was revolt
! ing. hideous inhuman and diabolical in
| the extreme. This is self-evident
/ I an saying this much, Mr.. Editor,
because | fully believe, and the facts
warrant it. that the attorneys of Dur
rant are not only not entitled to the
| least excuse for their final and tricky
! action on his case, but, on the con-
| trary. that they are open to the sever
| est censure and condemnation from an
| indignant public for thus staying the
wheels of justice and preventing the
! carrying out of a just and legal sem
tence, the justice and legality Of which
admits of no shadow of doubt.
| Let the blame for the failure of pun
! ishment in the Durrant case, and the
similar cases that followed it, be placed
! exactly where it belongs, on the de-
| Tending attorneys of Durrant, and not
on the State of California, its people
or its laws. its courts of high or low
degree, its Judges or jurors. its prose-
cutting attorneys. or its Chief Execu-
| tive officer. Governor Budd. All were
! in accord with justice and duty.
