PUBLIC WORKS MIDDLE.
Supreme Court to. Tackle the Case
Next Week,

On July Sd the Supreme Court will
hear arguments on the petition of Com
missioner of Public Works Leake for a
writ Of mandate to compel Controller
Colgan to pay his salary as Commits
sioner since March /, 1899.
The arguments, which will be pre-
sented by Judson c.. Brusie of this city
for the plaintiff and by Attorney Gem
eral Ford for Controller Colgan, will
open up the whole question of the
apparently contradictory nature of
the statutes relating to the political ex-
istence of the Commissioner and to the
status Of the Auditing Board to the
Commissioner
1t is feared that even if Commissioner
Leakes contention is upheld by the
Supreme Court it will be too latefto take
steps for much river Improvement dur
ing the present season. 1t was the in
tention of the Commissioner and his
deputies to this summer remove the
four or five bars between this city and
Rio Vista. The Government engineers
also intend to take steps to remove a
number of bars, touching only those
which are less than seven feet deep at
low water

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Samuel Williams Fatally Injured
and John West Crippled.


One of the worst accidents that has
happened at the railroad shops In a
long while was that of yesterday when
large boiler fell upon Samuel Will
Jams and John West, inf1icting injuries
that will probably result fatally to the
former and will leave the latter a
cripple for life.
Williams and West were engaged in
removing a boiler from one part of the
boiler shop to another, when the huge
mass of iron became unsteady, then
swayed and finally rolled over upon
them.
Williams skull was badly fractured,
both ears torn from his head, the fin
gers of one hand torn off and other Sc
we're injuries inflicted. West had one
thigh broken and was otherwise in
for treatment.
Williams was taken to the Railroad
Hospital in an unconscious condition
and prompt measures taken to save his
life, if possible, but the surgeons at
the hospital regarded his case as fatal
from the first. At a late hour last
night he was still unconscious, and ap-
parently he was very near his end. 1t
was not thought he would rally, even
for a moment.
The injured man has a wife and large
family, and his death will come as a
terrible infiiction to them. He was a
helper in the boiler shop, and, Of course,
in humble circumstances.

A SPLENDID SHOWING.
Sacramento Has Practically No De-
1inquent Taxes.

It is doubtful if there is a county in
this State, even with a tax roll one
half that of Sacramento, that can make
as good a showing as the latter in the
way of tax collections
Tax Collector Bugbey yesterday made
his settlement with the county, and his
books show a balance delinquent of
only S247.52.
And this on an assessment roll of up
ward of 100000.
The certificates for the sale of the de-
linquent property to the State. only
twenty-three in all, were made out and
filed with the County Auditor before 5
o'clock yesterday. The property delin-
quent embraces little odds and ends,
some of it assessed td unknown owners
In some of the southern counties,
where they had booms few years ago
the delinquent tax lists take up page
on page Of the newspapers. 1t is an
unfailing evidence of prosperity when
county has practically no delinquent
taxes.
