GUARDIAN IN TROUBLE. Gave Possession of Property Before Authorized by the Court.

OAKLAND, April 15.-The guardian of Mary Peterman, an incompetent, has placed himself in a peculiar predcament. Last Monday the sale of certain prop erty was up for confirmation by the court. One of the family had bid 5000. but this was run up to s2425 by an out sider. The court found the bidder had no coin up, so refused to make the or der until $500 was produced, and continued the case until evening, then until Tues day and finally until to-day, as no cash came into court.
 The bidder, however, who resides near the guardian, at Haywards. paid the full price Monday afternoon, and was given possession. When the case was called to-day a new bid of S2500 was offered. The guardians attorney objected and made the explanation given here, but the court refused to allow it, and confirmed the new bid. The next move is awaited with interest, as the court said the par ties in possession had no title. the guard ian having no authority to act without the courts order

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

90S Broadway, April 15.
 J. ". Lynn Is causing the doctors and officials and an army of witnesses great deal of trouble. Some declare he is insane, others declare he Is not, and several are doubtful For three hours this afternoon Lynn was before Judge Ogden while judicial examination was conducted as to his sanity.
 As he was being conducted from the insane ward to the courtroom a little in cident occurred that tended to shake the faith of some in Lynn's insanity. The Chief of Police had planned little ruse that worked to his entire satisfaction. Lynn was going up the steps the Chief said: If this man goes of into one Of those struggling fits, just beat him half to death: don't waste any strength wrestling with him
 This order seemed to have the effect turned to Chief Fletcher and said very rationally, If that's the way you are going to treat me. 1 won't go." Ordi- narily lynn does not notice any conver- sation.
 The case has now reached the interest ing stage where doctors disagree.
 Lynn is crazy" swear Drs Rabe and Barber
 Lynn is sane" swear Drs. Fucker and J. P. Dunn. And the court is in doubt.
 After examining many witnesses, it was decided to send for pr. Hatch of Sacramento and the physicians at Az news, where Lynn was employed ali of whom will testify as experts The case was continued until tomorrow morning. This is the most protracted insanity trial ever held in this county, and bids fair to be the most expensive.

Only Visited Mrs. Rojas to Pay for Work

Denies the Allegation That He Was Caught Kissing

Alvarado's Divorce Case May Be the Cause of Lively
 Trial.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 G0S Rroa 6wav Apri1 15

sos Broadway, April 15.
 When the divorce case of the Rojases comes up in Judge Halls courtroom there will probably be lively trial. Philip H. Aston, whose name appears in the com plaint, says that only one side of the story has yet been told. The case has excited much interest in Alvarado, where the parties live, and has been fruitful theme for gossip for several months, both parties to the controversy apparently having many friends.
 'I have been brought into this case on false representations.' said MT. Aston. "The facts are as follows: Rojas deserted his wife on September of last year, after he beat and abused ner most shamefully. Mrs. Rojas was at that time in destitute circumstances, and, in fact, had not the necessaries of life. On the day mentioned Mrs Rojas had him arrested for battery, to which charge he pleaded guilty and pad his fine. The poor lady came to me in her great trouble for assistance, and askeu me to give her my washing to help her to sustain life for her three children. I gave her work. and never visited her till December 13. when 1 went to her house about half-past in the evening to pay her. We were sitting in the kitchen and talking together, when MT. Rojas rushed in and accused me of kissing his wife, and abused her shame fully. After considerable talking I left for my home. I again visited Mrs. Rojas on December + to get a vest which had sent her that day for repairs. Rojas again entered the house and raised a dis turbance, but there was no fighting or thrashing at these times. One night in February he waylaid me in the dark and hit me unawares on the head, in a public street for which had him arrested. Mrs. Rojas is highly respected by all the good people of this town, and they are now helping her by giving her work; but I cannot say the same for Mir Rojas. When the case comes I'D before .TudRe Hall on April 9 the rest of this story will be made puhlio"

A special meeting of the Board of Trade was held this morning to consider what steps should be taken relative to the at tempt to change the pierhead lines along the water front. This question to take the water front controversy out of the hands of the Supreme Court and to work through the United States engineers of fee is considered to be of primary inn portance, and at the meeting next Mon day in San Francisco there will be many arguments presented on behalf of this city's interest.
 Attorney Lair Hill. who has had a large share in representing Oakland's side In the litigation, explained to the directors how the petition of Brock & Co. to have the pierhead lines changed would affect the city's right
 Councilman Pringle, who was present. said: This move is nothing more nor less than an effort of the Water Front Company to get around the decision giv- ing us right to the water front. It will need an eHort on our part to get the en- gtneers to decide in our favor. The Board of Trade should send a delegation tu the meeting on Monday"
 A suggestion having been made in favor Of calling mass meeting to protest agalnst the import of the petition the matter was discussed, but the board de- cided that little was to be gained by such general demonstration and that strong protest backed by sound argument before the United States Engineers would be the bcllei plaN. ] Ile TeSOlutlOn airea0Y quot ed was then passed unanimously
 The Ordinance and Judiciary Committee O. the City Council has decided that it will be better to countenance the appear ance Of the special attorneys for the city at Mondays meeting. The matter was discussed by the committee last night. and on the representation of Mir. Upton that the attorneys are willing to appear without compensation, 1t was decided to include the words without compensa- ton" in the resolution and recommend it's adoption Although this resolution will until next 4-4onday night, when the con ference in the engineers office will have closed, 1t is significant inasmuch as if shows that several O. the Councilmen who voted against 1t last Monday night have been forced by the pressure of public opinion and general protest to change their votes. There is no doubt that in accordance with the spirit oI the rcsolu- tion as recommended, the city's attorneys will be present
