BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL.
Its Anniversary Will Be Fittingly
Celebrated in This CITY.

The anniversary of the Battle of Bunker
Hill will be celebrated in an elaborate
fashion by patriotic societies of this city
on June II. For the past forty years the
day has been fittingly recalled in San
Francisco by speech and song, but this
year it is proposed to make the details
of the celebration more extensive and to
excel all past concentrations of it's
character. The Sons of the American
Revolution will unite with the Califor-
mia Pioneers and the Bunker Hill Asso-
citation, and they will invite the partici-
patton of public men in exercises which
will be arranged tonight.
AT Sunset Park, in the Santa Cruz
Mountains, an appropriate programme
will be listened to, and two trains-one
at 7:45 a. m. and the other at S:50-will
leave the foot of Market street for the
grounds. Two bands will accompany the
eXcursionists.
This evening a meeting of the three So
cieties will be held at the Occidental Ho-
tel to arrange programme. 1t has been
proposed to request the Secretary of War
to fire salute from all the forts in the
harbor, and Mayor Phelan will be invited
to ts'7e a prominent part in the pro-
gramme. The Governor VIII be asked to
declare the 18th day of June a legal holi-
day, whereby business may be suspended.

instructed to appear before the Street
Committee of the Board of Supervisors

MINERAL LANDS.
Judge Morrow Renders an Important
Decision as to the Duty of Govern
ment to Prove Certain Facts,

United States Circuit Judge Morrow de-
cided Monday that when the Govern
ment brings suit to cancel a land grant
under the plea that the land is more val
liable for it's mineral deposits than for its
agricultural products, the Government
must prove the plea
The case was that of the United States
against the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany, George w. Towle, Allen Towle, Ed
win Towle and others to cancel a grant
by the United States to the Railroad Com
pany of a section of timber land in Ne
Yada County. 1t appeared from the evil
dence that some mining had been done on
the land before the Government granted ii
to the railroad company, but that the
mining had been discontinued. and after
the Towles bought the section from the
railroad they cut large quantity of val
liable timber off the tract.
The Government failed to prove that the
land was more Taluable for its mineral
deposits than for its timber, ETC., hence
it lost the case.

Petition For Restraining Order In

Suit For Divorce Filed On Behalf of
Edith Stratman-Curtis Boys Get
Off Fasy-Jack Richards On Trial
Foreclosure Sales and Miscel-
laneous Doings Of the Courts.

The petition of George Crismon ct al.
VS.. John Beck ct al, for a restraining
order to prevent the defendants from
acting as directors of the Buckeye
Mining company came up before Judge
Hiles yesterday with Mr.. j. H. Moyle
representing the plaintiffs and Mr.. A.
Howat for the defendants.
The grounds on which the petition is
asked are that at the annual meeting
of the stockholders of the company,
los, sol shares of stock were voted by
John Beck for the defendants as direct
ors. while the plaintiffs claim that
Beck did not own the stock, but that
it was owned by the Pacific Lumber
company. The defendants contended
that Beck did own the stock and that
he had only pledged it with the Pa
cific Lumber company in security OF
a loan.
The plaintiffs, contending that Beck
did not own it, alleged that the cleo
ton of directors by his vote was illegal
and they demand that the directors so
elected be restrained from acting as
such. 1t was also urged that the call
for the stockholders meeting was 1r-
regular and that the meeting was IL
legal.
Judge Hiles after short hearing dis
missed the petition.
