The Frederickson-Yager Suit.

AS this case has awakened much in
terest in lone and the valley section,
and is also of interest, owing to the i'm
portance of the law points involved, to
business men everywhere, we deem it
proper to explain it's status Yager
and the late Thomas Frederickson were
partners in the cattle business in lone
valley. The affairs of the co-partner-
ship were attended TO and managed by
Geo. wager. Frederickson died on I he
23d of August, 1903. In April preced-
ing, FredericksOn decided his interest
in the property embraced in the CO.
partnership to his wife, Adelina Fred
erickson. This deed was placed on
record in the recorders office in Sep
tembe following, month after the
death of Frederickson. The recording
OF the deed was the first intimation
that Yager had of the transaction. He
had never been notified by his partner
that he had transferred his interest to
his wife. 1t is contended on the one
side that the deed from Frederickson
TO his wife dissolved tho partnership of
wager and Frederickson. 1t is con-
tended on the other hand, however,
that a partnership cannot be dis
solved in this One-sided manner; that
one partner cannot substitute person
of his own choosing to take his place in
the firm without the other partners
consent. Furthermore, it is held by
the Yager side that the death of Fred
erickson, not the deed to his wife, dis
solved the partnership. On the 18th
OF December Mrs. Frederickson COM
menced suit in the superior court for
an accounting of the partnership prop
erty, and asked for the appointment of
receiver to take possession of the
property and wind up the affairs. On
the 18th of Decemb the court ap-
pointed Thomas Clifton as receiver, fix
ing the bond at $1,000. On the same
day copy of the complaint and sum-
mons, also of the order appointing a
receiver was served upon defendant
Wager, who promptly took steps to
sustain his side of the controversy.
By his attorneys, Messrs. Bole and
Vicini, motion was promptly made to
have the order appointing a receiver
vacated, on the ground that the ap-
pointment was wrongfully procured,
and that he was incompetent. The
hearing was had on the 23d of Decem-
Der, and a mass of affidavits read in
ouPPOl vi OdCn clQS. L u6 IQdIu COLI
tentiOn is that the surviving partner is
of right the proper person to wind up
the partnership affairs. The court re-
fused to vacate the order appointing
Clifton as receiver. From this order
the defendant proposes to appeal to the
supreme court. He has filed bond in
the sum of $4,000 with D. Mattley and
John Strohm as sureties. The notice
N n ~ md Of h.
places Yager in charge of the property
as before the snit was commenced. The
transcript on appeal is in the hands of
the printer. The case, however, has
not yet, as stated in local paper, been
acted upon by the supreme court. 1t
is really not before that tribunal SO far.
All the changes that have taken place
have been in the superior court. 1t
will be nearly a month before the
papers on appeal can be filed in the
appellate court.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.

We are in receipt of the full text
of the supreme court decision in the
case of E. H. Sanchez VS.. E. Fordvce
and Thomas Ruiz. As the decision
touches one OF the vital points in
volved in the justices and con-
stables salary cases now on appeal
to the supreme court from Amador
county, brief statement of the
issue decided will not be without in
terest to our readers. The litigants
were rival candidates for constable
in Ventura township, Ventura coun-
ty. Sanchez was an independent can
didate, nominated by petition. The
republican and democratic parties
each nominated two candidates for
constable; as the election proclama-
ton of the board of supervisors
called for the election of two con-
stables in that township. notwith-
standing that the county govern
ment act of 1901 provided that in
township having population of less
than 5000 there shall be but one JUS
tice and one constable. 1t was con-
ceded that Ventura township con-
tained less than 1000 people. In the
recount Sanchez was found to have
received the greatest number of
legal ballots, and was elected, the
court refusing to count any ballot
on which more than one candidate
for constable was voted for. The
supreme court sustains the lower
court in this view. In the course of
the decision the court says.
The additional point is here made
that, as sec. art. II. of the constitu-
tion authorizes the legislature to "reg-
ulate the compensation of all such
officers County officers) in proportion
to duties, and for this purpose NAV
classify the counties by population, y
therefore it cannot directly or Indirect
ly classify the counties for any other
purpose than the one purpose of regu-
lating the compensation of county Off
GERS. We agree with appellants coun-
sci that under this provision of the con-
stitution, the legislature can classify
counties but for the one purpose, of
regulating the compensation of county
officers. 1t has been so held by this
court, Pratt VS.. Brown, 1876 Cal. $50
1t cannot classify townships for the
purpose of regulating compensation.
This part of the decision is taken
to be plainly Indicative of the fate of

ID our article on hospital finances
last week, we overlooked the point
that the allowances for outside pa
tients aggregated nearly $500 last
year, and this system of supporting
outside patients was not inaugurated
until after the. present administra-
ton took charge. This reduces the
difference in the cost of hospital
maintenance for the years 1900 and
1903 to something over 5000 as
against the latter period. This is a
really creditable showing, consider
ing the enhanced price of supplies
and the increased number of inmates.
