THEY WANT WATCHING.
SO Thinks Registrar Hinton of the
Contested Ballots.

In spite of the fact that there are
thirty employees in the department of
the Sergean mt alarms of the Senate,
twenty-five in the department of the
Sergeant-at-Arms of the Assembly
eighteen under the control of the Capt.
tOl Commissioners, three regular off,
GERS under the control of the Secretary
of State, all of whom are liable to duty,
and that the parties to the contest for
the seat from the Twenty third Senate
rial District had their own sworn watch
ers, and Registrar Hinton his own spe-
cial detail from the San Francisco Of
fee, the Registrar has asked for de-
tail from the Sacramento police force to
guard the sacred ballots from any con-
taminating and destroying influences
that might seek to burn them up.
The ballots are carefully locked up in
the vault in the rooms of the Bureau of
Highways, in the State reservation,
but Mr. Hinton apparently does not
think them safe.
Chief Drew thought there was enough
other work for his few officers to do,
especially as his whole force is only
about 2S per cent. in number of the reg
ular officers around the Capitol build

be hung Then ON a badly tilted road
him was kept on the qui vive to avoid
death in a sink hole. That such a road
would be a vast improvement on the
condition of Main street in this city is
clear as mud. 1t would cost only about
four times as much as Folsom granite
and would be good as any driveway for
those who were born to be hung. 1t
may be a little rough for what is other
wise the best town in the State. But 1T
will reconcile all its enterprising and
progressive residents to their fate,
whether 1t be drowning or hanging.
Either is better than to keep on jump
ing out of the mud into the sink holes
as we have been doing for so many
years.
GRAND JURIES.
Pasadena Star: Some of our ex-
changes are beginning to consider
whether the Grand Jury is paying in
stitution. 1t does some good, of
course, but could not that good be ac-
complished more cheaply by some other
means? The Grand Jury is in itself
quite an expensive institution. 1t costs
this county several thousands of dol
lars a year, and whether the detective
work would not be as well done by
some of the other wheels in the machine
is worth considering.
TYPEWRITERS
Amador Ledger: A brilliant legislator
has introduced a bill exempting type
writers from attachment There are
hundreds of lovely typewriters in Cali
fornia whom nature seems to have
specially designed for attachment, and
WE deem this bill an abrogation of an
inalienable personal right.
THE HIGH HAT.
Placerville Nugget: Editor Plaisted
of the Riverside Enterprise" has a
remedy for the theater hat that ought to
be a success. He would put up a sign
reading thus: "All ladies who are not
bald-headed will confer a favor by re-
moving their hats during the perform
ance." That would fetch 'em sure Every
woman would take off her hat to show
that she was not bald-headed.
SCARECROWS.
Castroville Enterprise: Law, when
used simply to scare" evil-doers out of
the evil habits instead of Furnishing
them for evil done, very soon falls into
disrepute. Scarecrows in a berry patch
are pretty good thing for a day or SO,
but the robins soon ascertain their
and treat them according
ly, likewise If outlawry in this or any
other town is to be checked the strong
arm of the law should be invoked with
discretion, and then used for all there
is in it. Thirty inches Of rawhide admin
istered at the proper time to some boys
is better than several yards of law with
a string alta ched thereto

POSTPONED TILL SUNDAY.
Professor Gleason's Great Fight With
Vicious Horses Put Off.

Professor Gleason, the king of horse
tanners, had a magnificent programme
to present at the New Pavilion last
night, but the bad weather prevented
any crowd turning out, and the few
who We're There had their money re-
turned.
On Sunday afternoon ait 2:30 he will
give a great exhibition of the most vi
cious horses in this county and prom
ises to tame them. The first horse on
the programme will be the gray mare
Gypsy, we'll known through the country
as the most vicious and dangerous
horse in this section of the country.
The second will be the gray stallion
known as the Cook horse, a perfectly
wild animal that has never yet been
subdued, but whom the professor prom
Uses to tame if it takes him all day and
all night.
The second and third are vicious
hickers and strikers ,and he promises to
cure them permanently of their bad
habits.
The last two are runaWays, and
though valuable animals they have not
yet been taught to understand that
there is nothing in running their heads
against a stone fence.
The professor has been at great ex-
pense to bring these horses from differ
emit ranches throughout the county,
and is satisfied that he has the fight of
his life on his hands to make them
amenable and gentle, and this he prom
iSes to do.
One of the animals, after the disap
pointed audience had left last night
(the Cook horse) made things lively in
the Pavilion, but was afterward taken
safely out.
There should be a good crowd on
Sunday, for in no city that the professor
has ever visited has he had such an
aggregation of bad animals to manage
as he promises to subdue Oh that daY.

NARROW SIDEWALKS.
A Contractor Pleads Guilty to Vic.
lation of the Ordinance.

John D. Shearer was a defendant in
the Police Court yesterday, charged
with violating the sidewalk ordinance
by laying down a six-foot walk instead
of an eight-foot one.
This, it is said, is a very common Of
Tense by sidewalk contractors, who
usually work in collision with the
property-owners and obtain better
price per foot for violating the ordi-
nance.
Shearer pleaded guilty and sentence
was deferred for two weeks, during
which time he has agreed to make the
walks the requisite width.

seph Murphy produced Shaun Rhue' TO
standing room only at the Walnut
street Theater last night, and the play
was received with greater enthusiasm
than any previous performance of the
piece in this city. Laughter and ap-
plause were continuous, and the rendi-
ton of A Handful of Earth by the
star was received with wild applause.
Mr. Murphy's characterization of Larry
Donovan has lost none of the dramatic
force or humor which has made the
part one of the most popular in his rep
ert0ire Rebecca Warren made a pretty
Kate Donovan, and her representation
was pleasing throughout the four acts

A LIVELY TALE
It Comes From Compton and Is Di
p rected at Justice Waite

j. Heckenlively yesterday presented Il
petition, which was referred to Depart
ment five of the superior court, praying
that G. w. Waite, justice of the peace
for Compton township, be ousted from
his office, and for Judgment for $500 in
favor of Heckenlively as an informer.
The gentleman with the lively name
relates that on December 7th one Lean
der Griffin swore to complaint before
Justice Waite accusing petitioner of
having disturbed Mrs. Griffln's peace at
her residence at Strawberry Park sew
eral months previous, to w.t. on the 25th
Of August. The magistrate issued his
warrant, whereupon Heckenlively was
brought prisoner to the place where
Waite dispenses justice, and the dog
berry proclaimed that he would take
nothing less than thousand dollar bond
to release the prisoner from the clutches
of the law, pending trial. The man whose
name is so long furnished the bond,
which was approved, but not until Waite
had exacted $3.50 from him for prepar-
ing the document.
This sum was paid under as lively a
protest as Mr.. Heckenlively knew how to
utter, his contention being that the de-
mand was illegal. but it did no good. On
December 16 jury acquitted the petit
toner of the chestnutty crime of INSIDE
meanor, which had been sprung on him
by Mr.. Leander Griffin, and Hecken-
lively lost no time in dunning Justice
Waite for the $780, but, alas. he would

of It's days in the county Jail, and the
fine not having been paid he was impris-
oned. His offense was disturbance of
the peace.
Petitioners attorney claimed that the
punishment was excessive and in corr
hict with the penal code, which provides
Imprisonment in the county Jail not to
exceed ninety days, although the court
may at its option impose fine of 5000
in lieu of straight incarceration. The
judge listened patiently for some time to
counsel's arguments, but refused to take
cognizance of some that he called of still
more weight, and told Mr.. Ladd to call
again when Newlin's ninety days were
up. The writ was then dismissed and
the prisoner replaced in the safe keep
ing of the sheriff. Newlin had not been
very sanguine of regaining freedom, as
he could not help laughing when the
judge refused to be entertained any
longer by counsels readings Of passages
in Freeman's ponderous volume on exc
cutiOns.
Lawyer Ladd afterward tried to in
veigle Judge Van Dyke into hearing the
same case over again, but the court de-
clined the job and smilingly suggested
to the attorney that it might be good
plan to ask the superior court in bank
to listen to his forensic effors in favor
of his client. This is what Ladd is going
to try.

White that he guessed "Doc." had shot
Jack. Constable Brakeshuler, who was
present, White and the witness then
ran to where deceased was lying, and
HIGHLAND said it was no use going for a
doctor, as the wounded man was dying.
Bowman was lying on his face, kind of
Sideways and his hands were stretched
out. Witness saw no knife or revolver
In or near them. Crandall said: II am
sorry, but I am not going to allow a big
man like him to run over me and whip
me-" HIGHLAND next related the quarrel
that had taken place on the Sunday be-
fore concerning board bill, and which
then nearly precipitated a fight. On the
morning of the shooting Bowman came
to witness house and inquired IL Doc.
Crandall was coming that day, and be-
ing told yes, he went away. Witness
never saw Bowman after that until he
was shot.
DR.. ]. J. Place was next called to the
stand. He was the physician who had
made the post mortem examination, and
he testified to the two bullet wounds One
Of the bullets struck the spinal cord, sew
ering the carotid artery, and caused
death.
Coroner George w. Campbell, who
held the inquest. and Harry Brenerman
also testified. The latter is the person
who accompanied Crandall in a buggy
from Los Angeles to Ballona on the day
of the shooting, as related in yesterdays
paper.
At 4:30 the case was adjourned until to-
morrow evening.

WILD GOATS
international Question Raised Over
Several Thousand Hides

A new trial has been granted by the
supreme court in the suit of Marian Gar.
cha against Peter Gum ct al, decided
by the superior court in favor Of de-
PENDANTS. 1t was upon an issue of own
ership of 4056 goat skins, valued at
$1216.S0. The goats from which these
hides had been taken We're aborigines of
Guadalupe island in Lower California
an isle 100 square miles in extent where
wild goats to the number of about 25, 900
reign supreme. Gum brought them from
Guadalupe to San Diego in August, 1893,
and deliverd them to one Hunt, who sold
them to one Porter. Garcia claimed own
ership to the "chivas," under q lease
from the Mexican government to VII
larasau, made In 1901, and assigned by
the latter to Garcia in the City of Mexico
IN January. 1892, and approved by the
FEDERAL government Of the sister repub-
lie in 1894, although villarasau's lease
stated specifically that he should not
transfer 1t without the consent OF the
department of the interior of Mexico.
Gum went cunning for the goats in
the interval that succeeded between the
assumption by Garcia Of the lease and
the approval of the transfer, and upon
the suit being brought claimed that Gar
