TOO MUCH "GALL"
Prompts One Henderson to Play the
Part of an Officer

Honesty is the best policy is doubt
less a true old proverb, but it is not all
sufficient Honest merit often sinks into
the gutter, and unless the scriptural in
junction, Man speak we'll of thyself,"
is also observed one is likely to be pushed
close to the wall. The quality that ena-
bles a man to toot his own horn, so to
speak, 1t what is popularity known as
gall and there are mon who have ii
on tap in readiness for any emergency.
When suffering from an excess of this
desirable quality person is apt to set
into trouble.
A case illustrative of this occurred a
week or so ago, when one John Hender-
son, said to be a night watchman. went
to the home Of Mrs. Augusta Bottle.
This lady was absent, being at Pasa-
dena, but her daughter Coral Bottle,
was at home, and to her Henderson
stated that he was an officer of the law
and held authority from the district at
torneys office to arrest her mother
Naturally enough, the girl was scared
almost out of her wits. Henderson re-
assured her however, and said that there
were two valises which she would have
to deliver up if Mrs. Bottle was to be
saved from the indignity of arrest. If
he had asked for the entire contents of
the house 1t is quite likely that Miss
boltie would nave told MIN TO take them
away, and while she did say that she
was sure that her mother would not
like her giving the valises away in her
absence, she yielded them up and Hen
derson went away
Now, as matter of fact, Henderson
is not a police officer and had no au-
thority to extort those two valises from
the Bottle home. They are valued only
at 81, but the impertinence of the act
w 10 tl.. 1,,1
derson was suffering simply from an ex-
cess of gall

complaint was drawn by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Williams, and a warrant

PoMERoY AND HOOKER WATER
CASE APPEALED
Supreme Court Decisions-A Rapid
Youth-Chinese Benevolent So
ciety Incorporates-In a
Hard Fix

IT sometimes costs money to get mon
ey to go on a mans bond, but 1t is also
equally true that it sometimes costs
money to the surety to go on mans
bond.
In the case of S. c. Dodge against F.
S. Kimple, tried before Judge Clark
yesterday the latter was the case, II
the plaintiffs version of matters was
correct.
1t appeared that in May, 1895 E. D.
Brown made a contract with t. f. Bick-
nell to build him a dwelling house, and
the plaintiff and defendant in the pres
ent suit went upon Browns bond as
sureties for the prompt and proper ex-
ecution of the contract. After the work
of building the frame dwelling had been
fairly well advanced Brown abandoned
the contract, finding, presumably, that
he had too heavily handicapped him
self The architect notified the sureties
that if the building was not completed
in accordance with the terms of the
contract they would be responsible in
the full amount of the bond, which had
been placed at S2500.
The plaintiff Dodge then turned to and
completed the building. and in Novem-
ber, 1895, it was accepted by the archi-
tect. But in so completing the dwelling
Dodge found that in order to do 80 in
accordance with the specifications he
had to exceed the contract price remain
ing due by s1220, and for half of this
amount he considered his fellow bonds
man, Kimple, to be liable. This present
suit was instituted to recover S610, the
amount claimed.
The testimony yesterday showed that
after Brown originally took the con-
tract Dodge was not only one of his
bondsmen, but was sub-contractor for
the millwork about the new dwelling.
Dodge claimed that the amount due for
this particular work was about $1,000
but Brown, who is with the defense in
the case, claimed that Dodge bid for
the work at about half that amount.
Albeit that Dodge denies that he ever
put in any specific bid at all.
Judge Clark will have to use his good
judgment in deciding who is telling the
truth, for the case was submitted and
really resolves itself into a question
largely of veracity

sold under execution and became the
purchasers. The plaintiff then institut-
ed suit against the Hams and Smith
Leedom for an accounting of the affairs
of his partnership with Smith (who is
insolvent). and judgment against the
Hams for the value of the crop.
When the attachment was levied
the plaintiff served a notice that he was
owner to an individual one-half of the
crop "less nineteen tons due and be-
longing to A. Gregory, and at the same
time Gregory served a similar notice,
claiming nineteen tons. The trial court
found that the plaintiff had no right
or interest in the hay or any part or H.

of the defendants Ham. On appeal the
Judgment and order denying a new trial

WHITE WINGED PEACE
Is Being Kept Fluttering at San
Pedro

Truly or not, 1t has been currently as
serted that there was some little friction
between the two justices of the peace at
San Pedro.
Not long ago Justice Patterson was
arrested for alleged corruption in con-
rection with somewhat dubious ap.
pearing case. and was arraigned be-
fore Justice Downing. The latter OBJ
jected to sitting in judgment upon a
brother justice, and readily granted a
change of venue to the court of Justice
Leonard of Compton. The justice de-
fendant cleared himself and all was
we'll so far.
But there are legal as well as political
factionists. and, strange as 1t may SEEM
some of them live al San Pedro. Il
seemed proper that honors should be
easy as between the two courts, and this
came out when ]. w. Davis. said to be
an attorney, made complaint against
Justice Downing charging him with be-
ing drunk during business hours The
charge was made, and in some sort
hinged upon the trial of A. j. Silverd
on March 18th. The case was set for
hearing before Justice Patterson and, as
indicated in The Herald two days ago
interest was very keen at the bay -
see wnat action would be taken by JUS
tice Patterson. The matter came up
on Wednesday, and the justice refused
to consider any application for a
change of venue. When that announce
ment was made it was felt that hard luck
was in store for the defendant magis-
trate. But reinsurance came when the
court stated that while he would not
grant a change of venue. if the defend
ant would go upon the witness stand and
swear that he was not intoxicated upon
the occasion referred to he would dis
miss the case. Thereupon the oath was
taken, the statement made and the case
dismissed
Now white-winged peace is kept busy
f1uttering between the court rooms of
the San Pedro justices.

THE GREAT RACE TO-DAY
BETWEEN CORNELL, COLUMBIA AND PENN
SYLVANIA 0ARSMEN.
Penn and Columbia Tonight viii Know
Whether They Can be in the First
or Second Class.

Poughkeepsie, July 1.-Thesecond Var
sity race over the Hudson river four
mile course, of the crews from Colum-
bia, Pennsylvania and Cornell will take
place, tide water permitting tomorrow
afternoon between the hours of and
1:30 o'clock. 1t is of as great import
ance as the race won from Yale and
Harvard last week by Cornell, because
the successful crew rows in it, and it's de-
feat, or the smashing of the time records
made in that race will mean the raising
of the serious question as to whether Col
umbia and Pennsylvania should not be
admitted to future contests in which
Yale and Harvard take part with Cornell
The best information here tonight leads
to the belief that Cornell will not be
defeated. but it is also said upon like
good authority that her crew will have to
row as they never rowed before, and
that with any kind of favorable condi-
tons the records of last week will be cut
under. This is the opinion, openly ex-
pressed this afternoon by Coach Cowles,
of Columbia, and concurred in by the
rest
The conditions for the last two days
set for the race and the indications are
that they will be repeated tomorrow. In
the drawing for positions this afternoon
Cornell had her usual good luck and
drew the outside course, where the ebb
tide flows strongest. This is the third
consecutive time that Cornell has drawn
the outside position. Columbia drew
the shore and Pennsylvania drew the
sandwich or middle place. 1t is asserted
and with some degree of truth, that the
position that Cornell has held in the last
two races and will hold tomorrow, gives
considerable advantage over the other
crews, the tide assisting her.
The crews of Columbia, Pennsylvania
and Cornell are all rowing very fast.
Perhaps the most notable improvement
has been made at Columbia, where the
|disheartening experience of last year had
made it almost impossible to get up en-
thusiasm. There is plenty of It there
now, and Mr.. Cowles' remarkable work
has had great effect. Pennsylvania is
rowing the fastest looking boat on the
river and the longest stroke. Columbia
is rowing the fastest stroke, and Cornell
the neatest, prettiest and slowest.
