FLOUR Is AT A PREMIUM.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug 20.-Flour is
al a premium in San Francisco. The
lockout of union workmen has so par
alyzed the large milling concerns that
they confess themselves unable to fill
the trivial orders of bakers and gro
GERS. Unless the congestion is relieved
speedily bakers will be compelled to
buy their hour few sacks at time
before another week Is over.
The Sperry Flour Company Is one of
the largest milling concerns on the
Coast, yet for more than a week 1t has
been unable to I'LL customers orders.
The manager of the company's down
town office at 134 California street ad-
mitted yesterday that business was at
a standstill.
Can you fiji orders for flour?" he
was asked.
NO he said, "our teams are all tied
up. We can't deliver any -four at ALL"
Cant you get out small orders?'
We have given up all attempts to
deliver flour in large or small quanti-
ties. 1t is useless to attempt the i'm
possible"
Does that mtan that there will soon
be -four famine in the city?"
Not necessarily. Customers can get
some -four at the warehouses If they
Will haul 1t themselves. We make a
reduction OF five cents per sack on such
orders. OF course, the customer takes
the chances of hauling. 1t doesn't pay

PUMMELS RIVAL
WITH UMBRELLA
Mrs. Still Unduly Free
With the Feminine
Weapon.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1118 Broadway. Sept 30

111S Broadway, Sept. 80.
For being unduly free with her umbrella
Mrs Annie E. Still of Livermore is serv-
ing a sentence of. twenty days in the
County Jail. Mrs. Still is accused of al
most fracturing Mrs. Cora MitchelPs
frontal bone with her deadly weapon and
making it very unpleasant for the victim
all around.
All the parties to this story of an UNI
brella and a broken head live In the town
of Livermore. The Stills and the Mitch
ellis have been neighbors for a long time
and until lately they were on friendly
terms. But one day the neighbors had a
falling out over some trivial thing, with
the result that they have been cherishing
an aversion for each other. The breach
was widened by the gossip of other peo-
pie.
The other night Mrs. Still laid in wait
for Mrs. Mitchell behind woodpile, a
transparent and when the rival appeared
began fusillade of blows upon her head
with an umbrella which she brought
along for the purpose. Mrs. Still bella
bored so hard that she broke the weapon
after which she used her fists to adYan-
tage. Mrs Mitchell, being taken wholly
unawares, was compelled to submit to the
abuse until her asSa1lant grew tired when
she made her way home.
But the tables were turned the next dav.
when Mrs. Mitchell had Mrs. Still arrest
ed for battery. The case was tried in the
Justice Court and attracted the entire
population of the Livermore Valley as
the contestants are well known. Mrs
Mitchell had no trouble proving her case
to the satisfaction of Justice Taylor who
sentenced Mrs. Still to serve twenty days
in jail.

way to cause them to ease up for a while

ATTORNEYS STILL ARGUING
THE MANDAMUS CASE

OAKLAND, Sept. SO.-The attorneys
engaged in the mandamus suit of the
Contra Costa Water Company against
City Auditor Breed presented arguments
before Judge Ellsworth to-day and when
the session came to a close the case was
continued to Thursday for further al GU
ment.
Attorney Guy c. Earl, for the Auditor,
devoted most of his remarks to his con-
tention that the water company has for
feited its franchise because it did not
conform to law which says that water
rates must be fixed by ordinance and
not by resolution.
Replying, Attorney McCutchen, for
the water company, insisted that the pen
atty for the disobedience of the letter
of the law is absurd. He said that the
company might easily be deprived Of its
property without due process of law if
the law was enforced and probably
through no fault of the corporation. At
torney Knight followed McCutchen for
the company but did not finish.
