STOCKTON, CAL, July 16-A promi-

owls weeds was cleverly victimized the
other day by two gypsy women who were
telling fortunes on the outskirts of Stock
ton.
One was weazened and wrinkled, while
the other was a beautiful brown-skinned
specimen of womarhood. They prevailed
upon the widow to let them into her
house to rest for moment and then, the
Stocktonian5 claims, the old woman
hypnotized her. She refused to have her
fortune told, but The old woman soon had
her under influence and induced her to
believe that a fortune Lay buried on her
lot. She parted with her money, a gold
watch, expensive underwear, bedding and
other garmentsin order TO have the gyp-
sizes discover the treasure. They were to
return to do this, but as they did not do

SANTA BAR6ARA SQUABBLE.
CoHsfabfes and Justices of the County at
War WITH the District Attorney
Over Their Fees

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, July 16-
The Constables and Justices of this county
are IN squabble with the District Attor-
ney over their fees. Justices Gammill
and Crane have already brought suit be-
fore Justice Smith of Carpinteria for fees
withheld from them, both winning their
suits. The county has appealed the cases
to the Superior Court.
The Constables have got the District
Attorney to agree to submit to test case.
The Constables claim they are entitled to
com pensation according 10 the county
government bill of 1893 for services rem
dered in criminal cases to the amount or
limit provided in that act, and cite the
case of Dwyer VS.. Parker, recently de-
cided by the Supreme Court OF California,
to sustain their position.
District Attorney OgIesby, on the other
hand, maintains that the fees that the
Constabies shall receive are regulated by
the fee bill OF 1885, but claims in addition
that the clause IN that bill that limits
Constables 10 500 in any one month is
unconstltutional, and that the county
stables 10 $l25 in any month, is in effect.
He cites the same case 20 sustain his posi-
ton as does the CoDstab bles.
The sQuabble between the Constables
and Justices has been going On for some
time, and at last the Constables have de-
clded to find out "where they are at" So
much has the District Attorney antagon-
ized these officials that they intend TO de-
feat him at the polls next election if be
should be candidate. The general opin-
ion of the bar here is that the District At
torney IS wrony, and that his actions SIM
ply put the county to unnecessary ex-
pense. There is some talk OF the Con-
stables instituting suit to compel the
d strict Attorney TO refund to the county
certain moneys paid him for assistance in
certain criminal cases, claiming that the
law does not permit the District Attorney

said to be willing to provide a home for
the child.
Mrs. Bashford, despite the fact that she
voluntarily permitted her child to De
legally adopted by Creede, now declares
her intention OF demanding her return,
not because the child has suddenly be-
come heiress to large fortune but purely
sprung up anew.
Mr.. Bashford says that while she does
not care for the money that is coming 10
her, she wishes to be the legal guardiaI to
protect Doroihy's interest. Sne is en-
phatic in declaring that no matter what
