REDDING, Jan. 1O.-A company of
militia has been organized in this city
and is now drilling at the armory, with
the expectation of being enrolled in the
National Guard of California as soon
as arrangements shall have been per-
fected for reorganization throughout
the State. The action of organizing a.
new company here was accelerated by
the threat of Red Bluff that if Red
ding did not at once take the initiative
Red Bluff would organize a company
and petition for its acceptance, which
would have the effect of depriving Red
ding of the privilege of filing the place
vacated by Company H, Eighth Regi-
ment, now at Vancouver barracks.
When the petition for signatures to
new company was first passed around
general apathy was met at every step.
But six men could be found, after the
most thorough canvass, who wanted to
be soldiers. Then the report of what
Red Bluff proposed to do filtered into
town, and in less than two days a total
Of fifty names was obtained. This was
enough to secure the privilege of fill
ing the vacancy.
When Company H Is mustered out
and the boys return home they will be
given the preference as recruits. If
the returning officers desire those who
were residents of Redding when Com
pany II went into the regular army
will be allowed to retain their places in

Oakland Office San Francisco Call.

SOS Broadway, Jan. H.
The Board Of Trade is determined to
try to bring about a revocation of tho
contract by which Alameda County will
present to half a dozen San Francisco at
torneys a sum approximating $4,000 for
apparently obtaining about $4,000 from
the State treasury. The have looked into
this matter and seem to have discovered
vital point that has apparently escaped
the attention of the Board of Supervisors
of Alameda and forty other counties in
this State and which entirely knocks the
foundation from under the argument
used by the attorneys to secure the con-
tract.
Before the Alameda board the argu-
ment used was that the bringing Of $1,000
to the county treasury would be like
picking it up, as it would never come but
for the astuteness of the attorneys who
discovered the scheme by which the rich
find can be made possible.
The Board of Trade puts forward the
very forceful and unanswerable argu-
ment that if Alamedas contribution to
the State Treasury be $112, 900 it simply
means that Alameda will have to contrib
ute that much extra to the States share
of taxes and that the 900 paid to the
attorneys might just as well be presented
to them outright from the county treas
ury. 1t is certain that the States ex-
penses will be the same practically this
year and next year as in other normal
years, and that the income will be de-
rived from the counties in their proper
proportion. AS it is on the basis of this
proportion that the alleged windfalls are
to be obtained from the State treasury,
it is simply a case of robbing Peter and
only giving Paul 60 per cent of the steal
Some members of the Board of Trade
are of the opinion that if there be such a
large amount of money due Alameda
County it should be the duty of the Dis
trict Attorney to at once institute suit to
recover it, and these members will not
admit that their county legal adviser is
any less shrewd than the attorneys who
claim to have made the great discovery
which they hope will yield them a hand
some fortune from this county and many
other fortunes from other counties.
The Board of Supervisors is now being
criticized for entering into such a con-
tract, and much pressure will be brought
to bear in the next few weeks to cause
them to have ii set aside on the ground
especially that 1t is against public policy
and because they were not fully &C.
quainted with the details of the situation
when the contract was made

Washout on the Marrow Gauge.

ALAMEDA, Jan. 10.-There was a seri-
Gus washout during the heavy rains last
night on the narrow gauge railroad east
of the High-street trestle, at a point
known as the sink" AS a result no
through trains have been run over the
line to-day. The roadbed is washed away
for a distance of over $50 feet at a place
marshes. The locality has given the rail-
road company considerable trouble No
solid foundation has ever been found at
the place, and no matter how substantial
the roadbed has been constructed it has
gradually sunk out of sight in short
time. A few years ago while a freight
train was passing over the spot the track
sunk and the train was wrecked killing
several of the train hands. A big crew
is at work to-day repairing the damages
and the railroad company expects to have
its trains running as usual by tomorrow.

9OS Broadway, Jan. 10
Frank H. Cheeseman who. while I'M
der the influence of liquor, shot and killed
Henry j. Brooke last August and then
shot his sweetheart, Miss Eta Payne,
was again declared insane to-day by a
jury and Judge Hall ordered him com
mitted to the Napa Hospital for the In
sane
1t was expected that Cheeseman's trial
on the charge of murder would begin this
morning. However, on motion of Cheese
mans attorney the prisoner was again
examined to determine whether or not he
is sane. The attorney conceded that
Cheeseman is not insane al present, but
that he might prove dangerous II given
his freedom.
At the preliminary examination several
months ago another jury declared the de-
PENDANT insane and he was committed to
Ukiah. There the authorities kept the
same watch over him as they did over j.
W. Lynn, whose trial on the charge of
shooting his wife will come on soon. The
authorities, and particularly Expert King,
declared that CheeSeman was not insane,
but was very cleverly feigning insanity
King wrote to the District Attorney fully
setting forth these alleged facts.
At Ukiah Cheeseman had expressed con-
fidence in getting out of his scrape and
he threatened TO make trouble when once
he should regain his liberty. He pointed
TO his record Of attempted suicide, etc,
as the loophOle through which he would
escape punishment.
Yet none of the Ukiah experts on in
sanity were called to testify to-day. In
stead the county experts, DR.. J. w. Rob-
ertson, who conducts private sanitarium
at LiVermore. and DR.. Rucker were
called. The former stated on the stand
that he had examined Cheeseman three
months ago at the request of District At
torney Shook and found the prisoner in
sane. He had again examined him yes
terday and found his condition abnormal
DR.. Robertson claimed Cheeseman would
always be insane; that his pulse this
morning was 10 while it should be but 70.
DR.. RuCker testified that Cheeseman
was suffering from what is called the
masked" form of epilepsy and that he
would be liable TO do others injury. He
considered the accused murderer irrespon-
sible.
Cheeseman's father also testified as to
A. I. Batten and D. Douglas, a former
his many peculiarities.
During this examination Cheeseman sat
quietly beside Deputy Sheriff George
Wales, and when the jury brought in a
verdict of insanity. after celebrating for
an hour and half, the prisoner uttered
a vile oath, accompanied with the hope
that each Of them might break his neck
on his way home. To the Deputy Sheriff
Cheeseman stated that it was not fair to
declare him insane.
If they want TO try me for killing those
people said he, all right. They can't
convict me, for I wasn't there"
Judge Hall ordered Cheeseman commit
ted to the asylum at Napa, there to be
detained until he shall become sane.

DINGEE Is SUED
FOR A LARGE SUM
MRS. SATHER MAKES SOME
VERY BLUNT ALLEGATIONS.
One Hundred and Thirteen Thousand
Dollars and Interest Is Now
Demanded.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
QnS Rrna dWav Ian 10

5Uo ioIOduWdy, jail ~.
Mrs. Jane K. Sather is pursuing her
demand for a settlement of her affairs
with w. J. Dingee, who was her bust
ness manager, and this afternoon she filed
a suit against Dingee charging him with
misappropriating $4,000 and demanding
an accounting with proper interest
The suit is q continuation of the litiga-
ton commenced by Mrs. Sather against
Colonel Evans for the return of certain
papers concerning her dealings with w.
J. Dingee. After some interesting depo-
stions were taken the papers were re-
turned. 1t would now appear that Mrs.
Sather's attorney, j. A. Sanborn, had
gone through these papers, extending
over many years. and had based the
latest suit on the result.
According to the complaint plaintiff in
1887 employed defendant as her agent and
broker to collect. rents, make sales and
generally act under her direction in the
transaction of her business concerning
her real estate, stocks, bonds, etc,
amounting to about $4,000. Later. in
July, 1888, she constituted defendant her
attorney in fact, which employment ex-
listed until June 1, 1897 and she drew on
him the same as she would on a bank.
Il Plaintiff ayers on Information and be-
his own use and not in the execution Of
his trust $1130 900 08 and over In principal
and interest; that this loss was the result
of a great variety of acts and omissions
violations and breaches of trust on the
part of defendant.
Mrs. Sather further AYERS that at the
request of Dingee she signed and deliv-
cred to him a purported receipt in full of
all demands to May 10, 1897 and state
ment that accounts furnished by defend
ant from January 20, 1891, to May 10, 1897,
were correct; that when she signed and
delivered these instruments she had no
information and did not know of any dis
crepances or fraud, and that before be-
ginning this action she had demanded
that he pay to her as moneys in his hands
her property in the sum demanded.
In her prayer for an accounting plain
tiff asks that she recover interest at the
legal rate upon all sums of money found
due from defendant, the same to be COM
puted from the time such sums should
have been respectively paid.
