LITIGATION At FRESNO.
Suit 10 Compel Canvass of Returns OF
The Sunset Irro District
Election.

FRESNO. CAL, Feb. 13.-The Sunset
Irrigation District appears to be very pro-
vocative OF litigation. Another suit IN
volving the affairs of the district has been
filed in the Superior Court. and 1t would
be daring vaticiuator who would proph-
esy that it was the last one.
The com plainant is George NJ. kohler OF
this city and the defendants, W. q. Scott,
E. f. Mitchell, John N. King, c. 5. Camp
bell and Milton McWhorter, who consti-
tute the old board of directors OF the dis
trict. Kohler recites that ON Wednesday,
February 8, 1897, an election was held IN
the district for the purpose of choosing
new boa I'd Of directors and other officers.
[. H. Martin, c. s. Campbell, Milton Nc
Whorter. ]. n. King and Joseph Meadows
received the majority of all the legal votes
cast and were duly and regularly elected
members of the board OF directors. Re
turns were duly made to the secretary Of
the board, J.. N. King, and the old board
should have met on the first Monday after
the election for the purpose OF canvassing
the vote.
This, KohIer claims, the directors failed
to do, and at all times since they have
failed and refused to perform their duty.
He therefore prays for a writ of man
damus commanding the defendants to
meet and canvass the returns of the cleo
lion and declare the result thereof, and
that the secretary enter upon the records
the names of the several persons elected.
Judge Webb ordered that the writ issue,
the defendants to show cause on February
25. at 10 o. clock.

Bold Robbery at Spokane.

SPOKANE, WASH, Feb. 13.-As the

ness at $50 o'clock last evening stranger
quietly picked up the sack containing the
bank for the keno game, stepped tojthe
door and leaped down the stairs. shout
ing: "Out of the wayl" as he went.
He reached the barroom and went
through it, running into men at every
step; ran outside the door and disap-
peared down an alley. Although the en-
ployes OF the game were all armed. as were
scores OF mon who were in the rooms and
saloon, not a weapon was drawn.
So sudden was the robbery that no one
realized what was going on until the man
had gone. Neither he nor the bank have
been seen since There was about S95 in
the sack. II was the boldest robbery ever
perDetrated here.

ROUND UP OF
Chinese CLUBS
Over Five Hundred China
men Arrested in Gam
bling g-Houses.
Fifteen fquads Make Stimuli
taneous Raids With Sig.
nal Success.
Officers Rummage Through the Effec IS
of Alleged Social Organiza-
tions for Evidence.

The strong arm of the law smote China
town with resounding whack last night
and in the clutches of its greedy fingers
grasped enough yellow malefactors to
make the cells of the California street sta
ton look like badly osercrowded
menagerie. The law was represented by
ffty-fve sturdy officers selected by Cap
tain Whitman for special adaptability to
the work in hand, and they performed
their duties with neatness and dispatch.
The special objects of last nights raid
were the incorporated social clubs. These
organizations, under a supposed protec-
tion from their charters, have been carry
ing on tan games and lotteries with i'm
punity, and the authorities determined to
test the law on the matter. For three
days Captain Whitman has been engaged
in obtaining list of these places and get
ting out John Doe search warrants.
The exact time of the raid was not
known to any but Chief Crowley and Cap
tain Whitman until o'clock last night.
At that hour the officers who had been in
structed to report to Captain Whitman
were given their details.
1t was arranged that exactly at 9:45 each
squad was to enter the place assigned to
it. This programme was carried out 10
the letter and the heathens were taken
completely by surprise.
In many of the places the inmates man
aged to make away with the evidences of
gam bling, but in several clubs the officers
made big hauls. BY u o'clock SO men
had been brought to the police station and
few score were corralled in their clubs
awaiting the patrol wagons, which had
more than they could attend to.
The places raded and the officers de-
tailed to each were as follows:
s17 Washington, Sergeant Shea and Officers
Baily, Bunner, Hurd; S23 Washington Ser
geant Hopper, Officers Peters, Connolly Nc
Laughlin; S24 W Washin gton, three games, Ser

came along with his mate leading the rest
of the pack. Mr.. Murphy sighed at the
sight. Some one had left the big heavy
collars on his dogs. What wonder that
they were not at the very lead?
A halt was called a few moments amid
swapping of whips and blowing of horns,
and after short wait the trail was again
taken up. At the next passing place, TWO
miles beyond, one of the California black
and tans, without his collar, was the first
TO cross the road, and then his owner was
satisfied. He felt repaid for the long,
hard, uphill drive he had had past the
gaping crowd at the County Poorhouse,
on past the big danl-one of the sources of
San Francisco's water supply-and up the
winding grade TO the summit overlooking
distant Belmont, that was to be the end
of the chase.
Some of the horses were tried at ridicu-
lousy low prearranged obstacles along the
route. The foremost usually and quite
fortunately knocked them down before
the struggling huntsmen behind could
risk a leap. The ground was, however,
scarcely suited to jun ping because of
the insecure footing, but the day was per-
feet for brisk, exhilarating chase after
the hounds.

POLICEMAN BODIES
COURAGEOUS FIGHT
He Has a Hard Tussle
With Two Determined
Burglars.
AS a Result One of Them Now
Reclines at Leisure in

Peculiar Action of a Police Judge
Which MyStiflss the
Police.

Early Thursday morning Officer E. +.
Bode detected Two men in the act of
"burgiing" James McDonaid's 3 dry-goods
store at 2800 Mission street. They had
secured some booty from that establish
meut and also from the store Of John
Nicholson in the same building.
Bode called upon the men to surrender,
when they started to run. He grappled
with one of them, who, although little
more than boy, proved to be sinewy
and 1.-the customer and made hard fight.
While the officer was struggling with
his man the other drew a revolver and
came close to the combatants, his inten-
ton being to use 1t when a favorable op-
portunity presented itself. The officer
managed, however, 10 free one arm, and
knocked the man with the revolver down
by a well-directed blow. His weapon
flew off to one side as be fell.
The fellow of whom Bode had hold took
advantage OF the opportunity offered and
as the other man fell trpped the officer
up. The two then closed in on him and
endeavored to pound him into insensi-
billty, but ne managed to regain his feet
and make things so interesting that The
one who had drawn the revolver took to
his heels.
IL required only lew moments 10
bring the other burglar into submission
and snap the bracelets on his wrists. He
was taken to the Southern station and
locked up on a charge OF burglary.
He there gave the police the name of
Henry Gilmore and his age as 16 years. 1t
has been discovered that his real name is
Chester.
Bode, although SUFFERING from the blows
he had received, attended Judge Lows
court on Friday morning, and after hear
ing the evidence the Judge held Henry to
answer before the Superior Court in $1,000
bonds.
Henry is said to be the son of wealthy
captain and shipowner in Portland and
last night inquiry was made about him at
the Seventeenth-street station. Captain
Gilien said he had been held to answer
before the Superior Court and had proha-
bly, been transferred TO the County Jail
unless he had procured bonds for his re-
lease.

that dge Low had, shortly after holding

they appear dressed up in
new Colors, new Combina-

he has no intention of spending portions
OF each winter season here.
As real estate has made little advance
in the last few years it is unlikely that Mr..
Cleveland will realize much more from
the sale of Woodley than he gave for it.
His former purchase of a country resi-
dence netted him about 500, 600 and gave
the neighborhood boom that resulted
in most of the land being quickly dis
posed of at high profits 10 the owners.
With a home in New York CITY, an
other at Princeton and a summer resi-
dence on BuzzarGs Bay Mr.. Cleveland will
be well provided.
Mr.. Cleveland's s fortune has been vari-
ousIy estimated, but those who have
made the most conservative figuring place
it at not more than 81 200, 900.
