He cashed the check at a saloon and
gave the amount-S15-for 81.
McEwan told a straightforward
story of having worked for the Florence

ed no disposition upon the part of any
one concerned to prosecute him, he
was simply remanded until his story
can be verified. The old man acknowf-

SEEN AND HEARD
In TINIMONY'S COURT

Harry w. Newcomer and r. Moore
engineers for the Rio Grande Western
had trouble Monday morning last that
led up to Moore's arrest for assault
and battery.
The case was heard by Judge Tim
mony yesterday and Moore was fined.
Newcomer was leaving his house at
56S West Third South on his way TO
work when intercepted by Moore.
Come here" said the latter, Il have
business with you
Newcomer scorned the invitation:
then, he said, Moore squared off and
belted him at will with a dinner
bucket.
Attorney James f. Smith attempted
to show that Moore, his client, was
provoked over the rampages of New
comer'S children, but Prosecutor Diehl
strenuously objected to the children
being mixed up in it.
We're going to try another neighbour
hood arrangement in a few minutes, 3"
he said, the kids will then have a
show"
Moore claimed Newcomers children
had bombarded his offspring with peb-
bles and malice aforethOught, and that
he wanted the parent to talk it over.
He claimed the request was refused and
Newcomer hit him for suggesting it.
To expedite matters, Moore handed
Newcomer a stone and said: Hit me
with it," turning to him the other side
also.
Mrs. Moore testified that her hus-
band had big mark on his chest after
the fight.
The court said: Somebody is mis-
taken. If 1 had the power to make an
order l would have you move a mile
or two away from each other. Mr.
Moore. 1 believe, is to blame. To re-
mind him of the scriptural injunction,
dwell together in peace and harmony
a fine of So will be imposed"

cause.
Many Suits Filed.
There have been filed before the
court, said he, some GA suits by set
tiers in Colorado, Utah and New Mex
leo Tor claims for damages against the
Utes, on account of depredations al
legged to have been committed by these
Indians. These depredations, which
form the basis of suits brought, were
committed from period beginning in
1913 and extending TO as late as 1891,
and the aggregate of the claims
now pending is S1,012000.
About 100 suits have been disposed
of thus far, and claimants have recov-
cred in a number of them. Many of
the cases defeated as to the Indians
have been won by the claimants, the
Indians being cleared on the question
of identity.
Confederated Bands Rich.
Originally there were fourteen bands
OF Ute Indians, of which seven entered
into the confederation growing out of
the treaty Of 1868. The other seven
bands refused to enter the confedera-
ton and are not in receipt of aid from
the government, and have no money;
but the confederated bands have a
large amount of money to their credit
with the government. Under the de-
cision of the court the funds of the
confederated bands are liable only for
the payment of judgments growing out
of depredations committed by Indians
belonging to some one of the bands
composing the federation.
This matter was decided by the
court in the case of JAMES A. Ivey of
Manti. In all cases where the claim
ants, having proven their case, fail to
identify the Indians who committed the
depredations as belonging to some {
of the bands in the federation, the
funds of the Indians have not been en-
croached upon to reimburse the settlers.
The damages allowed have been paid
out of the United States treasury.
In few days I shall go to Spring
vile and spend several days there TAX
ing dispositions, and shall also visit
Camas for the. same purpose. In pre-
pairing for the defense of many of these
suits. which will be heard next winter
in Washington, 1 shall be very busy

able for personal comfort. and am in

A LAND CONTEST.
L. S. Sherman Thinks His Protest
Should Prevail

The case of L. S. Sherman against M
J. Wright as Surveyor General, WAS
tried in Judge Johnson's court yester-
day The action was brought to COM
pei the Attorney General to submit to
a court of inquiry the question OF the
right of the defendant to a certain
tract of land in Inyo County, on which
he had made filing with intent to pur-
chase from the State.
1t appeared that the land in question
had passed by certificate of sale to
Sarah c. F. Wrinkle and Samuel Leoy,
in 1894 and 1895.
The plaintiff subsequently filed on the
land and entered a protest to the claims
of Wrinkle and Leoy, claiming that
they were conflicting and that neither
could hold He, however, failed to send
with his application the SO fee necessary
and his application was cancelled and
patents were issued to Wrinkle and
Leoy. In October, 1898, the plaintiff
forwarded the fee, and the Attorney
General. understanding that the matter
would be settled in the courts, has re-
tanned the fee to apply in case the rul-
ing is in favor of the plaintiff.
The evidence was put in and oral ar
guments made by the attorneys in the
case, after which they were allowed ten
DAYS in which to cite authorities

HIGHER EDUCATION.

Thomas ]. Kirk, State Superintendent
of Public instruction, has just arrived
from a prolonged tour throughout the
southern part of the State, where he
attended county and city institutes at
many places He was at Riverside. Ven
tura, Los Angeles, San Diego and
Reedley.
On his return he met with the Uni
versity Regents, and also attended the
San Francisco Teachers Institute. At
each institute the superintendent talked
and worked for the idea of higher
training for teachers, taking the ground
that there are perhaps too many teach
ers already, and that the great need Of
the profession is to get fresh breath
and better ideas. With this purpose in
view, he recommended summer courses
in pedagogics at the university and at
Normal Schools. Wherever he went ne
hammered on the idea that higher ed
ucation is the gospel for teachers who

ESCAPING INSANE.
State Asylum Methods Seem to BE
Thoroughly Defective.

The fact that a Violently dangerous
insane man &C. M. Joslyn) has twice es-
capped from the Stockton Asylum with
in eighteen mOnths-the same man
whom Officer Talbot arrested on Thurs
day-has caused great deal of dis
cussion among the citizens of Sacrament
to, where the homicidal maniac was
twice captured, each time. fortunately,
before he was able to kill anybody or do
other damage. In both escapes there
have been warning kilograms from the
asylum; but people are asking, What
sort Of a system is it that makes such
escapes possible?"
To get at the facts a Record Union
reporter yesterday sought information
at the office of the Board of Lunacy
Commissioners. In the absence of DIR.
Hatch, Secretary Carrere refused to be
| interviewed on the subject, further than
| to say: THE great trouble is a petty
economy which denies enough guards
| to look after the insane In New York
there is one guard to each five patients,
but here there is but one guard 10 each
eighteen"
| Consulting the records. it was found
that there is a shocking number of es-
capes from every asylum in California,
particularly from Stockton and Napa.
There is less number from the South
ern California Asylum, though there are
many more patients there.
From August, 1897, to April, 1899.
there were eighteen escapes from the
Southern California asylum, but from
April, 1897, to March 81, 1899, there
were thirtysix escapes from Stockton,
a much larger number to much small
er population of the insane At Men
| dOcino there were nine escapes from
April, 1897, to March, 1899, and seven
from Agnews during the same period.
At Napa the record rivals Stockton, for
there were thirtyfour escapes during
| the same era.
| 1t is becoming the general opinion
| that there is some defect in the system
which is so conducted as to permit 104
maniacs to escape from the five insane
asylums of the State in two years, or
an average of one each seven days, a
third of them at Stockton.

and incarcerated as an insane criminal,
his maintenance shall be paid for by
the city or county from which he was
sent. The suits in San Francisco will
amount to $4,000, and there are about
100000 of such suits in contemplation
