OLD SOLDIERS VOTES
JUDGE ALLEN FAVoRS GIVING
EACH A SEPARATE TRIAL
CITY APPEALS WATER CASE
Will Go to the Supreme Court on an
Order Issued by Judge Oster on
September 10

The suit brought by Hon. Abbot Kinney
against County Clerk I. E. Newlin ct al
In which is sought to be defined the rights
or otherwise, of the inmates Of the Soldiers
home to use the franchise in this county
where they are supported by the bounty OF
the government instead Of casting the!r
ballots in their legal residence, came up
before Judge Allen yesterday on a motion
IN make the 17O5 inmates Of the home de-
PENDANTS in the suit
Mr.. Kinney based his suit on the ground
that as the home and lands on which the
soldiers reside is government property the
state has no Jurisdiction over the inmates
OF the home, except in criminal matters,
and the soldiers, therefore, should have no
say in matters of elections.
The suit originally named Mr.. Newl!n
and the following soldiers from each pre-
cinct at the home: Theodore Denmire,
Charles F. Croft, William ]. Ladel and
George M. +. Singled, as defendants. Mr.
Meserve, who represented both the clerk
and the old soldiers. argued yesterday that
II would be unfair to decide the fate Of 17O5
men by the decision in the case OF four.
Judge Allen was of the same opinion. and
said that as he interpreted the law Mr.
Newlin was the guardian Of the soldiers.
and each should have a right to defend
himself and select his own attorney.
After this ruling Mr. Pope said 1t was his
intention to withdraw all the names OF the
soldiers except the four originally named.
and by so doing really make new COM
plant. The old demurrer, which is based
on the grounds that the complaint Is un-
certain, ambiguous. ETC.. particularly IN
regard to tho jurisdiction Of the United
States over the Soldiers home, and the
manner in which 1t was acquired. will hold
IN the secord action.
Mr.. Kinney's attorney claims that the
motion to make all the soldiers defend
ants was introduced to cucumber the suit
and carry It after election day.
If the judgment in the SUIT OF the five
soldiers goes against them an effort VIII
be made to let this judgment apply to all
the inmates.
The next step-arguments on the de-
murrer-will come up before the court next
Monday. If each case is taken up one at
a time the matter will be settled some time
before the next presidential election.

DEMURRER ovERRULED
By Supreme Court in Mining Suit Of
Stanton Against Singleton

The supreme court has overruled the de-
murrer in the suit of o. B. Stanton of
Bakersfield against John Singleton, F. M.
Mooers and C. A. Burcham of Kern coun-
ty, thereby reversing the judgment of the
lower court.
The present action is the result of a
breach of contract. The contract was en-
tered into between Stanton and the de-
PENDANTS on June 90 1895, and by the pres
ent suit the plaintiff seeks to compel the
performance of the contract The defend
ants are the owners of a certain mineral
tract located in the Summit Mining dis
trict, Kern county. They were desirous
of obtaining capital to work the tract, and
on June %, 1895. entered into an agreement
with Stanton that for the consideration of
81 they agreed to give Stanton thirty days
option of one-half interest in the claim,
with the further understanding that STAN
ton agree to spend $4,000 in opening and
developing the property and also erect q
ten-stamp quartz mill. The defendants
on their part agreed that Stanton should
have the privilege at any time within six
months to purchase the property for the
sum of S5000 900. 1t was mutually agreed
that if Stanton failed to commence opera
tions within thirty days the contract
should be void This agreement was
signed by Singleton and Mooers.
Stanton alleges that after the execution
of the contract C. A. Burcham, who owned
one-third of the mine, refused to allow him
to commence the work required accord
ing to the agreement, on the ground that
the contract had been made without his
knowledge. Stanton commenced suit at
once to recover possession of the claim
and to compel the defendants to keep their
part of the contract. The demurrer was
taken on the ground that the complaint
did not state facts sufficient to constitute
an action One of the chief points argued
In support of the demurrer is that mas
much as Burcham is named in the con-
tract and as he did not join in It's execu-
ton, the contract is incomplete, and can
rot be enforced against those who did
not sign it.
The court holds that on the face Of the
contract on the part of the defendants,
it is complete, and that the burden upon
them is to show that they were not to be
bound by the execution of it untiA it was
also executed by Rurcham. There Is
nothing on its face" says the court. ito
prevent 1t from being operative upon them
without his signature, and it Is consistent
with its language to assume that such
was their Intention
The defendants also attempted to secure
an annulment of the contract by claiming
that no work was accomplished This the
supreme court passes on as follows: "The
subsequent refusal Of the defendant to
permit the plaintiff to perform the work
agreed upon untler the contract is in the
opinion of this court sufficient excuse for
It's non-performance.'
AS to the necessity of m king Burcham
defendant in the action the court Is of
the opinion that there Is nothing in the
complaint to show that he is not willing
20 carry out the agreement made by the
other defendants. BY this opinion the case
will come to trial.
