RAILWAY COMPANY WILL

supreme Court Solves PerpleXing Le-
gal Problem Resulting From Tn
fortunate Animals Ambition.
AS a result of the vauIting ambition
Of a mule to kick a locomotive off the
track, P. F. Walther and the Sierra
Railway Company became entangled
in lengthy and expensive bit of lit
igation, which was ended by the Su-
preme Court yesterday. It appears
from the evidence that the engine
knocked out its opponent in a single
round.
The law says that a railway COM
pany is responsible for animals killed
by it's trains provided that the track
runs beside or through the land OF the
owners of the beasts. Walther. in the
phraseology of the court, was the
'hcensee Of the tenant of the owner
of the land beside which the mule
in question met an untimely end.
The railway company contended
that it was not liable for the sudden
demise of the kicker because Waltner
was not the owner of the land. The
court says that he possessed all the
property rights necessary to secure
damages for the death Of his mule.
The Sierra Railway Company will
have to pay for the mule. although the
amount may have to be determined by
further litigation.

Masonic Lodge Loses Suit.

The Supreme Court declared yes
terday that Jacob X. Cries need pay
none of the money left by his wife to
San Buena Ventura Lodge No. PA,
Free and Accepted Masons. Mrs.
Cries left her property TO her husband
with a request that $1,000 and certain
real estate be given to the Masonic
lodge for the perpetual care of her
grave. The court decides that her
wishes outlined in the contested sec
ton of the will constitute a request
and not a bequest.

En- honor del Lccz0. Tizol

Imponente por 10 numerosa
Tue la manifestation organizada
aver noche, por los socialistas
de esta Capital, para felicitar al
Licenciado Tizol, por ell buen re-
sultado de la defensa que hicie-
ra en- la causa que por desacato
Sc le segufa a dos miembros de
dicho partido. No exageramos,
81 decimos que la manifestation
estaba Compuesta de mas de dos
mil personas.
Ell Sr. Tizol dirigio la palabra
a los manifestantes y estuvo Pc
rorando una hora larga. Reco-
mendoles mucha prudencia y
que cuando hicieran sus NEE
tings" no tuvieran necesidad de
hacer uso del insulto y de la
diatriba, pues el idioma caste
llano es muy rico y hay cincuen-
ia maneras de decir las cosas
sin necesidad de comprometerse.
Hubo antes de empezar el dis
curse del Sr. Tizol, TN conato de
6ronca, pues la policia, preten-
dio' despejar la calle, imponien-
dose ell pueblo V dando princi-
pio al. discurso del LIDO. Tizol.
La manifestation disolviose
con mucho orden y sin tener
que lamentar ning1n otro Incl
dente desagradable.

Nuestro colega LA Cores
pondencia", en- su n1mero de
aver, pregunta 81 no podrian CO.
locarse en- las bocas de alcanta-
rillas, STONES iguales al que tie
ne la de la esquina de la Inten-
dencia.
A las razones, muy atendibles,
aducidas por ell colega, agrega-
mos: la Junta Superior de Sani-
dad debiera ocuparse del asunto.
Para ESQ cuesta TN pico respe-
table y por algo es superior y
debe demostrar esa superiori-
dad, remediando ell NAL apunta-
do; que va pasa de los limites
de la tolerancia estar soportan-
do tan malos olores.
ST la Junta Superior no 10 CO.
rrige, lquien va a corregir ell de-
fecto y los efectos del a1canta-
rillado?
Con la collection de los famo-
SOS contadores ha disminuido ell
consume de aqua; en- cambio,
ha aumentado e1 insoportable
olor de las bocas de alcantari-
Has.
Junta Superior: ique piensas?
Con cirCulares como la Ultima
no Sc va a ninguna parte, como
no sea a maltratar mas de 10 que
va 10 esta nuestro rico idioma.
Insistiremos.
Aunque solo sea por compa-
sion a las narices del DR.. Smith,
olga nuestra voz, seflora Saui-
dad Superior Junta and COM
