LEVEE GAZING AWAY.
Serious Situation at Point on
Feather River.

MARYSVILLE, July 22.-The condition
of the levee along the Feather River at
the lower part of Nicolaus is becoming
serious. For several hundred feet the en-
bankment and levee are gradually caving
into the stream The current at that
place sets into the bank with considerable
force and the lower strata of sand soon
washes out. allowing the top crust to
cave. This has been going on for some
time. An effort has been made 10 get the
matter. but with little success.
In the interests of navigation and the
preservation of the river. the Government
or State should repair the damage done
and put the bank in good condition. Sew
eral plans have been considered, such as
piling the bank, building the levee around
the place or putting in wing dams TO turn
the current in another direction; but any
of these would be too costly for the local
Ievee district to be asked to defray the ex-
pense, and it is earnestly hoped substan-
tial aid can be obtained TO repair the dam
age done the bank and levee before the

PORTLAND. July 22.-Wells, Fargo
& Company's bank got knOck-dOwn
blow in a decision rendered to-day by
Judge Alfred F. Sears Jr., in the State
Circuit Court, in the case of George H.
Williams, Henry Weinhard. Cleveland
Rockwell and others versus the Com
mercial National Bank. which IS the
predecessor of Well, Fargo & Com
panys bank in Portland.
Judge Sears decision gives Compen-
sation 10 stockholders who were frozen
out two years ago by the Commercial
National Bank practically Wells, Far
go & Company, who owned a controll-
ing interest.
The suits were brought to recover
the value Of stock sold because of the
nOn-payment Of an assessment OF So0
per share. The assessment was levied
because the bank alleged that the stock
was impaired. The plaintiffs cOntended
that the assessment was levied con-
trary TO law. for the reason that II was
not first authorized at a shareholders
meeting.
The bank, in its answer, claimed the
plaintiffs were estOpped for the reason
that at the meeting Of the sharehold-
ers held January u. 1897, report was
made 10 the meeting that the directors
had made a levy on the stock, ana no
protest was made by the stockholders
that if a protest had been made, plain
tiff's stock would not have been sold
It was also alleged that no claim was
filed by plaintiffs after the bank went
into liquidation, and that the bank as
sets had been sold to Wells. Fargo &
Company for $500 and the money
distributed TO the stockholders.
To these answers, the plaintiffs filed
a demurrer, and Judge Sears to-
1,-,I1 inc
that these answers are no defense. and
that the bank IS liable for the value Of
the stock. The value viii have to be
asCertained by d jury.
Between 100000 and $4,000 of the
stock was corfscated by the bank at
the time mentioned, and though the
suit just decided does not include all
of the stockholders who lost their
stock. yet all who were frozen out will
get the beneft Of the decision.

For half minute it looked as If the
Stockton boat was sure to back into the

about in lively style to prepare for the

FOR w. F. FITZGERALD
APPOINTED SUPERIOR JUDGE OF
LOS ANGELES.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

The Governor has named A. G.
Freeman, W. C. Van Fleet and George
J. Denis to be Code Commissioners,
and The Call begs to submit that one
more of its prophecies concerning
the action of Mr.. Gage has come true.
r Os ANGELES, July Ex-Governor
Gage, who Is in this city. TO-DAY an
,nounced the following appointments:
W. F Fitzgerald TO succeed the late
Judge W. H. Clark as Superior Judge OF
Los Angeles County; a. c. Freeman. W.
c. Van Fleet and George J. Denis to be
Code Commissioners.
Governor Gage cast a bombshell among
the local lawyers by appointing ex-
Supreme Justice Fitzgerald. Although the
Governor for ten days had his mind made
up TO appoint Fitzgerald there was
scarcely a lawyer outside OF the favored
circle who was even so much as aware
that Judge Fitzgerald's name had been
suggested. The general opinion among
the attorneys OF this city was that the
ermine was about 10 be thrust on the
shoulders of Bradner w. Lee. Judge
Variel could have had the position, but
his private practice is so large that he
would not have been justified in accepting.
In fact, in the race there were twelve
Los Angeles attorneys. 1t is conceded
here by Fitzgerald's friends that he has
never been one of Governor Cages friends
and has been regarded as a bitter enemy
of Dan Burns since 1895. Some think that
Gage wishes to show his gratitude to Fitz-
gerald for having retired from the guber
material nomination. A few others think
that George Denis Colonel Tom Lewis
and r B. Carpenter turned the trick for
their friend Fitzgerald. But the lawyers
of this city say that Gage would hardly
slap the local bar in the face to do
kindness to three friends. The rumOred
reason for the appointment that is abroad
tonight. and one that finds more adher-
ents. is that it is an attempt TO placate
Harrison Gray Otis of the Times and
bring him into line to support the present
