The state the same as TO private
parties.
The complaint on Its face shows
that the first cause of action accrued
on the nth day of January, 1894,
and that the second cause Of action
arose on the 14th day of Jansary,
1895.
This action was commenced on
the 18th day of March, 1900, about
FIVE years and two months after the
last cause Of action arose; about
one year and two months after the
action was brrred by the statute OF
limitations.
Under the provisions of either of
said sections 1853 or 1850 r. S. said
action was barred within four YEARS
after the cause of action accrued.
Under the provisions of section
4O6l the statute of limitations APP
plies to the state as we'll as to private
parties.
Section $40, Code Civil Procedure
Of California ia the same as section
4O6l r. S. of Idaho, each of which
provides that the statute of limita~
tions applies to actions brought in
the name of the state in the same
manner as to actions by private
parties.
Under the provisions Of subdivi-
sion ], section 500 of the Code Of
Civil Procedure of California which
contains the same provisions as Our

1t has been suggested that the
statute of limitations does not run
against county to recover public
money wrongfnlly withheld by one
of its fiducial agents, and that the
clerk received said money as such
agent. We cannot concede that
view, as the whole current of
modern authority Is to the effect
that implied trusts are within the
statute, and that the statute begins
to run from the time the money was
wrongfnlly received.
The statute of limitation of this
state is expressly made applicable
to the state, it is therefore an.
plleable TO the counties of the state
and SO far as the case of Fremont
county VS.. Brandon holds that said
statute does not run against the
county, the same is hereby ever
ruled.
The judgment is reversed and re.
manded with instructions to sustain
the demurrer and for further pro-
eeedlns in conformity with the
views in this opinion.

THE HOME GOLD CURE.
An Ingenious Treatment by Which Drunk
ards Are Being Cured Daily in
Spite of Themselves.
No Noxious Doses. No Weakening Of the
Nerves. A Pleasant and Positive
Care for the Liquor Habit.

1t Is now generally known and under
stood that Drunkenness Is a disease
and not weakness. A body filled with
poison, and nerves completely shatter-
ed by periodical or constant use of in
toxicating liquors, requires an antidote
capable of n~eutralizing and eradicating
this poison, and destroying the craving
for ~intoxicants. Sufferers may now
cure themselves at home without pub
licity or loss of time from business by
this wonderful HOME GOLD CURE
which has been perfected after many
years of close study and treatment of
inebriates. The faithful use according
to directions Of this wonderful discov-
cry is positively guaranteed to cure the
most obstinate case, no matter how
hard a drinker. Our records show the
marvellous transformation of thousands
of Drunkards into sober, industrious
and upright men.
WIVES CURE YOUR HUSBANDS! CHILL
DREN CURE YOUR FATHERS! This
remedy is in nc sense a nostrum, but is
a specific for this disease only, and is SO
skillfully devised and prepared that it
is thoroughly soluble and pleasant to
the taste, SO that 1t a be given in a
cup Of tea or coffee without the knowl-
edge Of the person taking it. Thou
sands of Drunkards have cured them
selves with this priceless remedy, and
as many more have been cured and
made temperate men by having the
CURE administered by loving rela-
tives and friends without their knowl-
edge in coffee or tea, and believe to-
day that they discontinued drinking Of
their own free will. Do NOT WATT.
Do not be deluded by apparent and
misleading improvement" Drive
out the disease at once and for all
time. The ''HoME GOLD CURE
is sold at the extremely low price of
One Dollar, thus placing within reach
of everybody a treatment more effect
ual than others costing $40 to $50.

clans when requested without extra
charge. Sent prepaid to any part of

THE HOMECOMING
OF ''NIGGER" BROWN

-
Bob. Miller who worked on the Dis
PATCH for several months is now pub
fishing a bright and newsy paper in a
cultured Ohio city. Bob. is a good
writer and reading this line in the
Truckee Republican gives his readers
the following:
"Nigger Brown is in town.
Niger Brown is a Truckee char
acter, and a notable one-which, when
ono knows Truckee, Is a distinction not
to be lightly considered. For Truckee.
be it know, Is a place of 1900 people
dependent upon lumber in summer and
ice in winter; it is not incorporated,
because the saloon element. the ruling
element so far as votes are concerned,
doesn't want 1t Incorporated; it is 90

which do not retail liquor, and about
twenty-five that do; and last. it is the
abiding place Of the toughest. vilest
gang Of thieves, drunk-rollers, gamb-
lers. lewd women, macquereaux, dope
fiends and worthless characters that
ever infested a civilized community.
That's saying a good deal in California,
where "tough" towns are numerous.
but It's quite true.
"Nigger" Brown was sent to jail so
many times for his violations Of the
law, and he returned to Truckee so
often with an added amount Of devillish-
ness that the citizens concluded it was
too much trouble to bother him, and
he went around thereafter unmolested.
Of the hard gang In town Brown was
acknowledged the hardest member. for
there wasen't much of anything in the
the way of crime that he would not
tackle. With the place always full of
workingmen from the lumber camps or
ice pounds he had a fine field for his
operations. The communicated is,
the decent part Of it-accepted Brown
as a necessary evil, though they were
quite willing to permit anyone so dis
posed to kill him off.
One day Brown called for a drink at
the bar where a little red-headed Alab-
ANA switchman was drinking. Re-
senting the intrusion the switchman
drew a razor and almost decapitated
Brown, whom he left for dead on the
floor. Browns nearly severed neck
was sewed together and he was around
again in a few weeks at the old stand
and ready for business. The switch
mar put in one night in jail SOLDERING
up and was then released by accom-
modating friends who smashed the
jail lock; he was put aboard train and
sent over into Nevada. He wasn't
bothered for it was felt that he was
more entitled to a vote Of thanks
rather than to prosecution.
Brown remained around town some
weeks longer, doing a nice business
at his old vocation that Of relieving in
toxicated strangers Of what money
happened TO be found on their persons.
