II hold that the title to land is IN no

constitution further provides, In sectloh

to be performed or where the obligation
or liability arises or the breach occurs,
or in the county where the principal
place of business of such corporation IS
situated subject to the power OF the
court to change the place of trial as IN
other cases.
I'm these actions the defendant shows
by an affidavit filed and presented on the

ness is in the city and county of San
Francisco but it does not show where
the contract was made, or where 1t was

AN UNFORTUNATE DRIVE
The brogden Household Disrupted by a Most
Disturbing Jealousy

The infelicity of the Brogden house
hold was laid bare before Judge Shaw
yesterday .whe 1 Abraham Brogden ask
ed for decree against Harriet, his wife,
on the ground of extreme cruelty.
The plaintiff follows the business of
plumbing and, considering his station
in life and the presumable surroundings
of his home, the story he told was as
strange as it was sad. The key to the
situation was that Jealousy - that
"green-eye monster that disturbs so
many house holds-had laid hold of Mrs.
Brogden and. albeit she had lived for
twenty-five years with her husband,
showed itself in more acute form during
the last year.or two than ever before.
While upon the witness stand the
plaintiff stated that the trouble in his
family took on an acute form when,
some time ago he drove with two ladies'
from the beach He was about an hour
late in getting home and his wife upon
seeing him in the vehicle thought there
was only one lady wiz him. On the
supnositiOn that he had been off GALL
wanting around with a woman. she re-
fused 70 listen To reason. but threatened
to revenge herself by poisoning him.
MI Brogden claimed, too, that she at
tempted to carry her threat into execu-
queer that he remarked about it and re-
Trained from drinking it. Thereupon his
wife emptied the tea pot and made some
fresh tea that was all right. Having
his suspicious aroused he refused to eat
any food except when his wife partook
of the same dish and 90 no lsrm reached
him.
such constant state of strain could
not continue, and in June last the plain
tiff left his home. His wife had threat
ened to do him bodily harm, and one
night did kick him severely; and so,
thinking discretion the better part of
Valor, he ran away.
The wife was not in court to tell her
side of the story, but the two ladies who
accompanied Mr. Brogden on his nota-
hle drive testified in his behalf as to the
ungovernable temper Of his wife.
Judge Shaw took the case under ad-
Vlsemeut.

A CRY GOES up
Court House Official, Debating the County
Government Act


The courthouse officials are perturbed
in mind They want to register kick,
and, while not knowing exactly where
to do it, when they finally determined
they wanted to kick with both feet
netaphorically speaking, of course.
The new county government bill is the
cause OF all this agitation of mind. The
county officials do not mind the leveling
process up on which the legislators seem
intent, but thert is' a direct issue raised
when the legislators want to level sal
aries down, when the officials want them
to level up. The six court deputies are
the most disgrunt,ed of the maleontents
Their salaries are to be cut from SIPS to
500, and, to man. they fail to see why
they should be docked S25 apiece An
indignation meeting was held yesterday
afternoon, but 1t was close session. and
the result of their deliberations was not
permitted to transpire.
In the district attorneys office the lev
cling has been up instead of down. and
this is not causing an eXuberant amount
of fsatisfaction-save to the lucky ones.
1t is said that there was no reason or
excuse for Assistants Willis and James
being left out in the cold when a con-
nubiating feast was being held. and
'plums' handed round They do their
work as well and az much. probably. as
any of the others, and the disparity of
the respective positions is altogether
in the salaries.
One little woman-down in the sheriff's
office has nothing to say. Her position
as stenographer at S75 per month. has
been Topped off altogether. But. then,
the sheriff must have a stenographer,
and probably she will not bemoan her
fate If her salary comes from the pocket
of the sheriff rather than the county

CHANGE OF VENUE
Denied In Five Suits to Which the Southern
Pacific Is Party

An interesting point of law was decid-
ed yesterday by Judge York, in an opin-
ion which he handed down, which affects
several cases which, for the purpose of
having this point passed upon, We're
grouped together.
There were five distinct suits in each
of which the Southern Pacific Railroad
company was the defendant. The plain
tiffs were as follows: Milliard Canyon
Water company, Emile Deutsch, Henry
Elms. r. w. Poindexter, the Farming
and Fruit Land company
The motion was made in each of these
cases for change of venue from the
superior court of Los Angeles county to
the superior court of the city and county
of San Francisco.
The ground Of the motion was solely
that the defendant had its principal
place of business in the city and county
of San Francisco and is a resident Of that
city and county. The defendant con-
tended that the actions We're properly
brought in the county of Los Angeles
under the provisions of section > of ar
ticle VI. of the constitution of this state
wherein it provides that "all actions for
the recovery of the possession of. quiet
ing title to- or for the enforcement Of
liens upon real estate shall be COM
menced in the county in which tho real
estate or any part thereof. affected by
such acton or actions, is situatcd;" also
the provisions of section 292, 6. G. F..
providing that actions for the recovery
of real property, or for an estate or in
terest therein, or for the determination
in any form of such right or interest.
shall be tried in the county where the
land is located or where the subject Of
the action is situated" "
THESE actions are. however" saws
Judge York, in giving his opinion "ac-
tions for damages for breach Of con-
tracts. In each COMPLAINT an issue is
rendered as to the title of defendant in
certain lands which it contracted to con-
Vey to the plaintiffs assignors. But the
right of action of plaintiffs is not wholly
dependent upon the title which the
plaintiffs have in said lands: but princi-
pally the right of action depends upon
the fact of a final determination by the
supreme court of the United States that
patent affirming the title to defendant
in said lands cannot issue. The cause
of action being for damages for breach
of contract. although the title to the
lands which the defendant has con-
tracted to convey may become one of the
collateral questions to be determined
on the trials of said causes; neverthe-
less, as the title to said lands will in no

it was impossible to do full justice to the
language of the court in the soft, mel

said he was very sorry for it, for he
would have liked to tell the old man his
opinion of him in good, strong English.

ever, and ordered Rocha to be confined

CHARLES SEARS AGAIN
Tells Of His Good Luck In Finding Valuable
Goods in the Street

Charles Sears, who was convicted Of
burglary before Judge Smith on Tues
day, again made his bow in department
one yesterday.
Again it was a charge of burglary that
that most nonchalant young fellow was
called upon to answer and, he did an
swer it in the curiously stupid way in
which he had tried to squirm out of the
first charge.
The evidence showed that on the night
of December of last year Mrs. Mollie
). Rasmussen and Mrs Sofia Jensen We're
in the house at S04 South Olive street
alone. 1t was ar upstairs fiat they oc-
cupied, and about 10 O'Clock they heard a
noise on the landing outside the door of
the room where they were sitting. Open
ing the door to see what was the
matter they saw man standing in front
of a trunk that stood at the head of the
stairway and leisureiy plunGering it.
Womanlike. Mrs. Rasmussen screamed
out, and both women shut the door of
their room, and went out on kind of
porch in front of the house and cried for
the police. While standing there they
saw a man run up the street from the
house in which. they were, carrying a
sack on his shoulder
When their fears were allayed by the
arrival of a policeman they discovered
that the trunk had been rifled of black
dress, a silk waist. black cape, a brown
dress, a gold pin, cross and some other
miscellaneous effects. All of the prop
erty was traced to the possession of
Charles Sears and his wife (?), Minnie
Gotta.
The defendant. with the greatest care
lessEess imaginable, stated that he found
the sack full of clothes close to the cor
ner of Ninth and Olive streets and took
it and deposited it in the tent of an old
man known as "Dutchy" because Min
ME Gotta had said she was going to lay
hands on some of the finery. The de-
fendant in this, as in the previous charge
against him, explained how things came
into his possession in the most eXtraor-
dinary way. A canary bird that hung in
the room of Minnie Gotta. at the Buena
Vista house, he accounted for by saying
it flew in."
Just one touch of doubt was injected
into the case by Mr.. Leonard and his
sister, who keep a millinery store on
Spring street testifyiuC that on Decem M
Der they We're making preparations to
open their store and the defendant
worked in the store with them until
nearly II o'clock at night. They were not
absolutely positive as TO the doubt. and
this attempt at an alibi was not accepted
by the jury.
After being out about half an hour
verdict was returned of burglary in the
first degree"
