The Governor then expressed his inten-
tion of asking the opinion of the States
legal advisor at once, and he was as good
as his word, for before he left the room he
had written a letter asking for advice.
The Harbor Commissioners declared
them selves anxious to take hand in the
dispute. They believed that the matter
was properly one over which they had
jurisdiction and they expressed them.

was decided that If Attorney Stratton ad-
vised that the harbor board had iuris-
diction to press nto service the State tugs
and pi!edrivers. Attorney Stratton was
called upon for his opinion. He replied
offhand that he believed the board had
power to remove the piles, but promised
to give definite opinion this morning.
Stratton said that he believed that the
section OF the water front in question was
properly one that might be controlled by
the harbor board, for the reason that the
OOHl nau the rlgDt 10 prevent
the erection in the harbor OF all obstruc-

The City and County Attorney sugge sted
that the Commissioners ask the Supervis-
ors to corporate on the ground that the
city was the most interested party to any
encroachments of private parties on the
water front. He thought that the Board
of Supervisors might be influenced 10 pass
a resolution instructing him to join hands
with the State authorities. Attorney Pills

erful enough to dismay any Board Of Su-

L had heard arguments in many cases in
the disposition OF which, especially in the
preparation of opinions it was fitting that
l shout participate before leaving that
bench, and | fixed the Goth of May as the
day on which to take, as l did, the oath,
because 1t was the eighty-second birthday
OF my father, who INDUCED just pride at
my accession to this exalted position.
AT the head OF the court when l became
one OF Its me m bers was the venerable
Chief Justice Tanev, and among the AS
soc1ate Justices was Justice Waite, who
had sat with Chief Justice Marshall, thus
constituting link between the past and
the future, and, as it were, binding into
unity nearly an entire century of the life
of this court.
During my incumbency three Chief
Justices and sixteen Associate Justices
have passed away, leaving me precious
remem brances of common Iabors and in
innate and agreeable com panionship
When [ came here the country was in
the midst OF war, Washington was one
great camp, and now and then the boom
of cannon could be heard from the other
side of the Potomac. But we could not
say inter arma silent leges. This court
met in regular session, never once failing
! in time or place. and its work went on as
though there were no soGnds of battle.
Indeed, the war itself simply added to the
amount OF litigation here as elsewhere
But the war ended in a couple of years,
and then came the great period OF recon-
structlon and the last amendments to the
Federal constitution. In the effort to re-
establish the nation, to just all things
to the changed political, social and
economic conditions, questions of far
reaching importance were developed
questions of personal liberty, OF cons tltu-
tlonal right, which, after ojt-times heated
discussions be.ore the people and in the
halls OF Congress, came TO us for decision.
DO not exaggerate when L say that no
more difficult and momentous questions
were ever presented 10 this or any other
court.

| hesitate TO express his opinions in un mis-
taxa bic language. When the row occurred
on Saturday last between the working
forces of the gas company and the Fair
contractors, the gas com panvi appealed to
the Governor that Warren e. Malley were
closing up q navi able street. The Gov
ernor after investigating the matter came
to the conclusion that it was time for
him to act, and he gave to Attorney
Mhoon, who in addition to being one of
the legal advisers CT the gas company is
also an assistant Attorney-General
written authorization to order he con-
tractors 10 remove the piles at once.
! When Mhoon reached the scene he found
| that the executors of the Fair estate had
possession of the field. There was a man
sitting on the top OF each of the objection
bic piles with stick of dynamite and a
| Winchester in his hands, and Mhoon was
compelled to retire defeated. However,
in the name of the State he ordered the
improvised army to surrender and remove
the distractions forthwith.
The representatives of Warren IL NAL
ley were evidently not much alarmed.
They replied 10 the representative OF the
Governor with shouts of derision, and

Mhoon reported progress to Governor
Budd on Monday last, and it is unneces-
ssry to say that the executive was very
warm under the collar at the insult offered
/ him. The guardians of the piles evidently
/ foresaw that matters were reaching crit
! ical stage. and in order that they should
not be caught mapping the force OF watch
els was doubled and electric lights were
strung about the scene of the dispute, so
that there should be no sortie of the
enemy in the dark.
1t was the memory of this disregard for
his authority that caused the Governor
TO take the initiative in yesterdays pro-
ceedlngs. The law in the case, of course,
was tie chief matter under consideration.

REDDING, CAL, Oct. 1.-THE events
leading up to the tragedy do not cover a

as 1t was ascertained. With the booty Sc
cured in the Yreka hold-up was $40 gold
note with a Garfield vignette. The agent
and the shotgun messenger at Redding
had been particularly instructed TO keep
q sharp lookout for this piece OF currency.
MESSENGER DIN Haskell, in making the
rounds of the stores found the gold note
at the McCormick-Saeltzer Co.. s. 1t was
mutilated and had been sewed together.
The books of the company showed that
bill Of goods had been sold to w. H.
Horrall, with instructions TO deliver by
rail TO Delta, forty miles north of Red
ding.
This clew settled the fact of HorralP s
guilt. Detective Thacker and Jennings
came to Delta, and from young woman,
E Ina Greenwood, learned that Horrall a
fe " days before the Yreka hold-up had
cooked a lot OF food, packed it and, with
doubled barreled shotgun, struck out
over the mountains back of Delta, say ing
that he as going to the Altoona mines.
A day or so after the hoid-up Horrall
returned home The shoe tracks leading
from the hold-up corresponded exactly
With the tracks made by Horrall in the
dirt about his mouse.
With all this and other evidence Detec-
tive Thacker wired to the Sheriff OF Siski-
you for warrant of arrest. Deputy Rad
ford was sent on The first train with The
re equisite papers, arriving in Delta the
evening before the tragedy.
Shortly after o'clock this morping
Deputies Radford and Stewart went to the
house OF Horrall, about 80 yards up the
hill from the railroad depot, and Stewart
stepped up TO the door and knocked, Rad
ford following. Mrs. HorraIl, wife of the
robber, opened the door.
"Good morning. Is Mr.. Horrall in ?'
asked the officer.
"Yes; he is inside" she replied pleas
antly.
At that moment HorraIl stepped in
from the kitchen and walked TO the front
door Deputy Stewart was well &C.

This is Mr. Radford," said Stewart.

a POSTER TRAGEDY.

A purple moment Of bright blus bliss i
Was mine, oh, green haired maid,
When from yo-r lips yellow kiss [
l slipped in the dark red shade.
The ecru moon hung on tree.
We sat by vertical brook.
You were a-laughing in olive pink glee
And reading the edge of book.
And was singing a lavender song,
Speckled and mingled with blue,
But stopped for a moment, perhaps not too
long.
And kissed you, took perhaps two.
BY the red hills topped with golden snow,
BY the trees tearing holes in the sky,
I swore the red world would overthrow
For your love. or lie down and die.
But away from my vowing l was rudely
snatched
And thrust far, far from you.
The color / wore with the landscape matched,
And that would, alas! never do.
And now among the blue lilies afioat
On a sea of brown and red
sit on the edge of an olive green boat
And hold my pea green head

The Prison Labor Question.

In England question that agi
tates us is discussed-that of prison
labor. Sir Edmund Du Kane pre-
sents one phase of the subject in
The Contemporary Review:
The fact has evidently never been
considered by those who assume
that industrial work can be intro
duced as the general practice in
prisons on the supposition apparent
ly that the moral effect is the only
point to be considered. 1t is only a
small residue who can be profitably
employed.
To find employment even for this
limited number is not without diff
culties, the principal of which is to
find customers for the work they
can do. Evidently the prison depart
ment itself has wants which prison
labor can supply, and accordingly,
since the prisons have been united
into one department. a great develop
ment of this work has taken place,
such as was not possible when each
prison was an isolated unit. Tailor
ing, shoemaking, tin working, weav-
ing, knitting and many other like
trades are now carried on in certain
local prisons for the supply of the
whole number A very large amount
of building work, involving carpen-
tering, bricklaying and iron work,
has been carried ON in local prisons,
and this, with the baking, cooking,
washing, etc, absorbs large num-
Der of the available prisoners. But
there is still a large residue for
whose work outside consumers must
be found, and this residue will be
larger if the gross number of prison
ers should again increase.

The Bull and the Government Papers.

The Bull and the Government Papers.
Here is Il comical adventure that
some members of an English ord
nance survey met with while tour
ing in the south of Scotland. In the
prosecution of their calling they en-
tered a field belonging to a crusty
old farmer. Seeing the strangers
looking about in a way he could not
understand, the farmer approached
What are ye lettering in the
field forY''
"Oh, we have Il right to go any
where, F" returned one of the compa-
ny. I'VE are surveying, and here
are our government papers.

turned the farmer, "oot We gang oot
O. my field
mo, we shan't," returned the
man, land you are rendering your

The farmer said no more, but
went over to his shed, which opened
into the field, and let out vicious
bull. The bull no sooner saw the
redcoats than he went for them in
full career. The surveyors snatched
up their theodolite and few for their
lives, while the old farmer, in great
glee, yelled after them:
