The baud concert Tuesday night was
greatly enjoyed by the large crowd which
out for the occasion. The band

During this piece all of the players except
three got up and marched out of the band
stand, hut after considering the matter
for a few moments they decided not to
strike, and returned to their Instruments.

will be given until the weather becomes
cool for open air concerts.

UNDER FIRE.
Probable Inquiry Into the Conduct
of Juror T. HI. Davis.

There was considerable talk yesterday
in Courthouse circles concerning T. H.
Davis, one of the jurors in the Cippa
case. The story is that Davis made use
of arguments in the jury-room that
involved matters wholly outside the
range of the testimony given in court
namely, that he knew the girl whom
Cippa was accused Of having criminally
assaulted to have been notoriously I'M
chaste prior to her relations with him.
The matter was called TO the atten-
ton of District Attorney Ryan, and
that official says he will have the facts
inquired into. When the jurors were
being examined prior to the trial Da
Wis was questioned quite closely, and
was accepted with the understanding
that he knew nothing of the case. had
no interest in it, and could act inn
partially on the evidence as presented
in court.

SOME FEAR OF FOUL PLAY.
WHAT HAS BECOME OF CONTRA
COSTA'S OFFICER?
Ralph Harrison Not Heard From
Since He Left Here to Hunt
for a Criminal.

Early in the week Deputy SherlI
Ralph Harrison of Danvine, Contra
Costa County, visited this city Tor the
purpose of arresting Leon Servantes,
who is wanted in Danville for criminal
assault on a little girl.
Harrison learned the man he was al
ter was on the Haggin ranch, ana went
there to capture him. He met SER
vantes and another man, and IN a mix
UP with the two captured the otner
man and Servantes escaped.
The Contra Costa officer returned to
this city, but on Tuesday evening took
a train for Roseville, intending to walk
back to this city and take the chances
of again meeting ServanteS somewhere
on the plains.
He promised Chief of Police Drew
that he would report to him on reach
ing this city. but up to this time moth
ing has been heard Of him, and there
is considerable speculation in police
quarters as to what has become of
him Only one thing seems certain,
and that is that the Contra Costa man
has dropped completely out of sight,
and there are those who hint that he
may have met Servantes and been for
ever si!enced by the man he sought to
arrest.
On the other hand, it is possible Har-
rison may have changed his mind about
walking back to this city from Rose
Vile. He may have boarded a train
there and gone straight to Port Costa
without stopping over here. If he had
not reached home before this it would
seem that some inquiry concerning him
would have been received from there.
There is still another possibility-the
officer may have again got on the
Spaniard's trail at Roseville or
in that vicinity, and is still
following him. Harrison is a
young athletic fellow, apparently very
Jealous in the discharge of his duty,
and just the man who would camp on
a fugilve's trail until he overlook him
or na1 driven him out of the country.
But it certainly is strange that Har-
r'ison has not communicated with the
officers here. if nothing has happened
to him.

A. AND P. RAILROAD TAXES.
JUDGE MORROW RENDERS AN
IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Board of Equalization Has
Power to Assess the Rolling
Stock on Leased Lines.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17.-Judge
Morrow of the United States Circuit
Court this morning rendered a decision
adverse to the Atlantic and Pacific Rail-
road Company, in its suit to recover
taxes from the State Treasurer.
The State Board Of Equalization in
1888 assessed the railroad for its rolling
stock used on the line from Mojave to
The Needles in this State. This portion
of the railroad was built by the South
ern Pacific road and leased to the At
lantic and Pacific Railroad during the
previous year. The terms of the con-
tract provided that the Atlantic and
Pacific road should pay all taxes which
might be assessed upon the leased por-
ton Of the railroad
The Board of Equalization imposed a
tax of $2.212 so upon a valuation of roll
ing stock valued at $12o,O0O, and the
Atlantic and Pacific road paid it under
protest.
It's contention was that it was not LA
BILE for assessment upon it's tsock oper-
ated in this State, and that as it's head
quarters were in the State of New Mex
ico it could only be assessed in that
State.
Suit was filed in the United States
Circuit Court by the road to recover
from the State Treasurer the amount
Of taxes paid under protest.
The Attorney-General demurred on
behalf of the State that the court had
no jurisdiction, as the suit was against
the State, and that the complaint did
| not sufficiently set forth cause OF
action.
Judge McKenna held that the court
had jurisdiction, but sustained the de-
| murrer on the ground that no cause of
action was set forth.
The railroad company then amended
| it's complaint and alleged that it was
not the owner of the road in question,
and, while it operated its stock over it.,
could only be assessed in New Mexico,
where it's charter originated.
The Attorney-General again entered
a demurrer to the amended complaint,
and held that the road could be as
sessed under the laws of this State.
Judge Morrow this morning passed
upon the demurrer and sustained it,,
holding that the Board of Equalization
had the power to assess the rolling
stock Of the Atlantic and Pacific road
used on its leased line.
