this additional work. Such proceed
ings have been conducted by Mr.
Barnhart ever since and with no ex.
ira compensation. The first fore
closure case embraced over 5000 sep.
arate delinquent certificates and in.
volved a minute description of as
many parcels of land. The summons
published in the official paper Of that
time covered nine and one-half pages
of the usual size Of newspapers. De-
linquent taxes on over 10000 tracts
Of property were redeemed from tax
liens before suit was brought, owing
to the reputation made by Mr.. Barn
hart for sustaining the position of
the county. This was a test case,
without precedent, and 1t Is the high
est praise of Mr.. Barnhart that some
of the shrewdest lawyers in the state
have not been able to pick flaws in
the judgments he has secured.
IT was Mr.. Barnhart who secured
the first conviction in Spokane coun-
ty for the crime Of perjury. In all
his prosecutions of criminal cases
Mr.. Barnhart has been uniformly sue
cessful, many Of the convictions se-
cured having been sustained after a
long fight in the supreme court after
appeal
The records of the superior court
show that Mr.. Barnhart's opponent,
Lester p. Edge, was admitted to the
bar in October 1902 and that ha ha q
never appeared as attorney of record

the state. In comparing the qualifi-
cations Of the two men for the i'm

Several candidates on the county
ticket were present. among them d.
II. Stewart. for reelection to the as
SCISSORS office, and r. M. Barnhart
for prosecuting attorney. Each of
these made short addresses to the
people and were well received. d.
T. Ham, chairman of the republican
county central committee, presided
and delivered an address touching
on national issues and particularly
explaining to the people the exact
vention at Tacoma. Mr.. Ham made
an earnest plea for A. r. Mead for
governor and for the republican state
ticket as a whole. He was loudly
applauded. and. being well known in
this vicinity. did some remarkable
work for the republican ticket. A,
r Barnes of Spokane delivered the
closing speech. He dwelt mostly on
national and state affairs. bringing
out many facts not known to the
people Of this precinct and very
detrimental to George Turner and the

ceded that Yard is master Of the situ-
alton in so far as his road and Bart
nett's is concerned, in the Sacramento
Valley and Bartnett has well outlin-
ed route through Beckwith Pass east
ward to Salt Lake.
Hartman long ago began to regard
the pass as the only solution for over
coming the heavy grades of the Sierras
other than constructing an expensive
tunnel through the mountains. Coils
p. Huntington admitted his mistake in
not going out of California by way of
the Beckwith Pass. Hartman realized
the need of getting control of a section
of the pass, and there is growing sus-
picion that he determined to accom-
plish this by dickering with the Bart
nett company.
1t would be a comparatively easy
task for the Hartman syndicate to
build north from the main line of the
Central Pacific in Nevada, through
the Beckwith Pass and thence in a
southwesterly direction to Stirling
or even to Oroville, by way of which
the main line of the company would
be reached and traffic extended to this
city. While Attorney Bartnett and
H. H. Yard decline to make known
their future plans, the report from
Reno will greatly strengthen the per-
vailing opinion among local financiers
that they are dealing with the off,
cials of the Southern Pacific Company.

FARMER FIGHTS
WITH ROBBER
Roberts Island Resident
Has. a Desperate Struggle
: With Bandit Near Stockton
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

STOCKTON, April 14.-Ira Saunders.
a well-known and prominent farmer of
Roberts Island, and his wife and child
were held up tonight by a robber on
French Camp road two miles south of
this city. Saunders is now in the hos
pitaI with serious wound in the low
er part of the body.
Saunders and his wife came to the
city this evening and started for home
after nightfall. They had driven but a
short distance when a man stepped
out in the road and brandishing a pis-
tol demanded that the farmer get out
of the vehicle and hand over his money.
Saunders jumped out of the buggy,
and was going through his pockets
when he noticed that his wife had also
jumped to the ground. Rendered des-
perate by fear that she might be
harmed he grasped the pistol that the
robber held at his chest and desper-
ate encounter ensued. The pistol was
discharged, and the ball entered Saun-
ders' groin.
The aged farmer held the gun and
also grabbed the robbers hat as the
latter released his hold and ran from
the scene. Mrs. Saunders summoned
assistance, and the wounded man was
conveyed to ST. Joseph's Hospital. Men
were soon securing the country fol
the highwaymen, and as they have a
good description it is believed that it Is
only a matter of few hours before he
is taken into custody.

purpose of building a road from Chico
to Stirling, paralleling the road of the
Diamond Match Company, but the ink
on the Incorporation papers had barely
dried before it was discovered that the
Southern Pacific Company had gobbled
up the Diamond Match Company's road
and then leased it to the latter con-
Germ.
Since then Yard and Bartnett have
had frequent conferences in this city
and have seemingly been on the best
of terms, a condition that did not exist
a few months before, when Bartnett's 8
surveyors were daily abusing Yards en-
terprise and striving in every manner
to shut him out of the territory north
of Sacramento. Lately surveyors Of
the Southern Pacific Company, when
ever the weather would permit, have
been operating in Nevada westward
toward Beckwith Pass and at points in
the Sacramento Valley in the neighbOr-
hood of the route of the Yard and
Bartnett surveys.
The fact that Yard and Bartnett
were peacefully resting on their oars
while the Southern Pacific Company
was maneuvering over their routes has
frequently, of late. caused comment.
The fact that Bartnett's pay drafts
were being cashed in the bank at Win
nemucca owned by George S. Nixon,
the Southern Pacific Company's repre-
sentative in Nevada, only tended to
strengthen the suspicion that Bart
nett was dealing with the Hartman
people and Yard was patiently await
