THE AUDITOR WINS.
The Supreme Court Sustains the Superior
Court in the School Tax Litigation.

Word has just been received that the
supreme court has affirmed the decision
of the superior court of Amador county
in the case of Jackson School District
ct al VS.. C. L. gilbert, as county audi
tor. The issue involved in this suit is
of vital moment not alone to Amador
county, but to every county in the
state. In September, 1899, the super
visors, following a precedent that had
been established for many years, failed
to levy sufficient tax rate to provide
the law requires. The trustees of jack
son district thereupon served notice
on the county auditor to add the de-
ficiency to the assessment roll. At the
request of the supervisors, the auditor
refused to do SO, whereupon the jack
son district, and thirty-six other dis
tricts brought mandamus suit against
the auditor. The supervisors employed
w. j. MCGEE as'special attorney to test
the constitutionality of the law. They
contended that the levy of about 1850
per census child was sufficient.
Judge Rust and Judge Nichol, sitting
in banc, held the law to be unconstitu-
tional, and the supreme court has up
held the decision. The text of the de
cision has not yet been received, so it
is not known whether the court held
the law to be invalid, or whether tn @
appeal was dismissed on technical
grounds.
The amount directly involved in the
suit was about $500; but as the super
visors in 1900 and 1901 also ignored the
Sc per census child law, the county
would have been required to pay the
school districts about 500, 900 had the
auditor lost the suit.

Serious Accident.

Joseph Drendel, who lives on the old
Jellitich place on the south fork of
Jackson creek, about one mile from
town, met with sad misfortune last
Sunday morning, He was chopping
some limbs, when the end of stick
just chopped off flew up and struck
him over the right eye, breaking the
ball of the eye, and it is feared destroy
ing the sight. He came to town at
once, and had the injuries dressed by
DR.. Gall. A few weeks ago he was hurt
in the left eye, but not so badly as to
impair the sight. The full extent of
the damage to the eye by this latest
accident cannot be known for a few
days. Hopes are entertained that the
sight is not totally destroyed.
