You know, of course you do, for
school teachers are expected to
know everything, and more too,
that a riot at the common law
has been defined by an emf
n ent authority (Biggstaff, l be-
lieve) as a disturbance of the
peace, by three or more persons
assembling together, with an
intent to aid, comfort, and en-
courage one another, against

of some enterprise, whether
lawful or unlawful, and after

MARIN COUNTY HAS
BEEN IMPOSED UPON
So Bills Will Be introduced in the
Legislature in Reference to Collect
ing Money From the State.

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 6.-After a careful
investigation of the facts relating to the
contract to collect money said to be due
Marin County from the State on overpaid
taxes, as contained in the forceful com
munication sent the Board of Supervisors
by Cashier Augustine of the A. P. Hota-
ling Bank, that body has reached the con-
clusion that it was imposed upon by the
law firm which has undertaken to secure
the money, and will make an endeavor to
have the contract rescinded. The propo-
sition Of whether or not this can be le-
gally done has been submitted to District
Attorney McIsaac.
THE contract" says that official, 'di-
reefs the District Attorney to bring suit
for the recovery of the money, and en-
ploys the law firm to assist him If he
should see fit not to bring suit it is my
opinion that the firm could do nothing in
the matter. 1 shall so advise the board"
At the request of several prominent cit
liens Mr.. Augustine has drawn up two
bills, which have been seflt to Senator
Dickinson and Assemblyman Atherton
with a request that those representatives
urge their passage. The bills are
sweeping in their language. One is an act
repeating the act authorizing re pay
ment of claims of the counties against
the State; the other provides that here
after no proceedings shall be taken by
county official to recover any money al
legged to be due from the State except in
certain stated cases.

REFRIGERATED
BEEF WAS GOOD
Colonel Sharp Has So
Testified.
HAD INSPECTED THE MEAT
AND FOUND 1T TO BE OF AN
EXCELLENT QUALITY.
Knew Nothing of the Alleged Use OF
Chemicals Complained of by
Surgeon Daily to War In
Vestigators.
HAD INSPECTED THE MEAT
AND FOUND 1T TO BE OF AN
EXCELLENT QUALITY.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Colonel
Henry Sharp of the commissary de-
partment, who served at Camp Thomas
and in Porto Rico during the war, was
before the War Investigating Commit
tee to-day He said that he had SUI
perintended the issue and inspection Of
refrigerated beef in Porto Rico; that
he had been in the commissary depart
ment for fifteen years, and that the
quality of the fresh beef issued at Camp
Thomas was equal to any he had ever
seen in the army.
Governor Beaver read to the witness
parts of Surgeon w H. Days report
to General Miles on the ''embalmed
beef" issued at Camp Thomas and
asked if he had noticed the "maWksh
taste" and disgusting odor' of the
beef referred to.
Colonel Sharp said the report in
question referred to time after wit
ness left Camp Thomas, and said posi-
lively that the description did not ap-
ply to any of the beef he had seen. In
Porto Rico he said, he had inspected
one vessel Of refrigerator beef at Ar
royo and the beef was the wonder and
admiration" of all the natives and of
the foreign residents, none or whom
had ever seen such good beef.
The native cattle in Porto Rico, he
said were infinitely inferior to the
American refrigerator beef. He knew
of no chemically preserved meat issued
to the army.
Colonel Sharp thought the loss of the
spoiled beef which had been in ques-
ton fell to the contractors and not to
the Government.

If the "King Of Freshwater' Is Cap

Killing More Than One
WILL BETRAY HER HUSBAND
COMMITTED GRIMES FOR WHICH
ANOTHER MAN SUFFERS.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

GOUVERNEUR, N. Y. Jan. 6.-Shertn
George A. Storrs of Utah County, Utah,
left here yesterday accompanied by
Mrs. Jennie Wright. They are en- route
to Utah in an endeavor to clear up
murder mystery and to free, if possible,
a man from a life sentence.
At the Pelican Point Ranch, Utah, in
1895, three young men were shot down
one night in their ranch house. The
stepfather of one of the boys, named
Haynes, had had trouble with the men
and was arrested, charged with the
crime. The bodies of the men were
found sunk in Utah Lake and the prem
ises they had occupied were looted.
Haynes was convicted on cirCumstan-
tial evidence and was sentenced to be
hanged, but a stav was secured and
the sentence committed to life impr1son-
ment.
A short time after the crime George
w. Wright left that locality and lived
in various parts Of the West, finally
drifting to Freshwater, Colo. He was
a graduate of Kalamazoo Law College.
He soon became prominent, bearing the
sobriquet king of FreshWater." One
morning a man with whom Wright was
at outs was found shot to pieces in his
cabin. Wright assisted at the Coro-
ner's inquest and wrote out the verdict
of murder by person unknown"
Later Wright became involved in
questionable sheep deal and after being
arrested jumped his bail and fled He
visited his wife at her parents home
here and then disappeared. After he
left the West evidence of a positive
character relating to the murder at
Freshwater is said to have been found
against Wright. The authorities elected
a confession from Mrs. Wright to tn eff
feet that her husband had goods which
figured in the Pelican Point murders.
The Utah authorities were communi-
Gated with and found the articles just
where she said.
Mrs. Wright said she was willing to
testify against her husband for the
triple crime provided he can be caught.
She says her lips have previously been
sealed through fear of him.

TELEPHONE COMPANIES
MAY ALI BE COMBINED
It Is Predicted That All the Bell Con-

absorbed all of the Bell telephone inter-
ests in the State of Michigan, stated to-
day that eventually, he thought, all of
the Bell Telephone companies through

one great organization. The Cleveland
Telephone Company now controls all the
Bell interests in the States of Minnesota,
Texas, Arkansas, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Michigan and the city OF Cleve-

that sooner err or later ali the comp fiIiif
