COPPER QUEEN WINS
 AGAINST TAX COLLECTOR

In the matter of a petition for writ of mandamus to compel the tax col lector to proceed to collect the sum of s9s, ,391 ,33 delinquent taxes due from the Copper Queen company, the peti- ton for a writ was denied for the fol- lowing reasons
 The judgment of Judge Davis en- joined the collection of more than s9l5264 in 1901, consequently the property was returned delinquent for only that amount. This amount was advertised for and that sum paid with penalty of 5 per cent. This was on the delinquent tax list by reason of the decision of that time, and the court held that since the petit tion alleged that S99, ,39l.33 was delinquent, and the tax return only shows s9, l32.64, the demurrer to the petition was ac- cordingly sustained and the applica- tiOn for writ denied, whiIh means that the county lost this round
 The court intlmated that if there was any way to amend the return the tax collector would then have to take cOgnizance of the fact, and petition might serve. Attorney Gibson admits that 1t is difficult matter to get at, and the next proceeding has not yet been decided upon.-TOmbstone Pros. npctnr

Summing up the argument against the proposition to extend the presi dental term to six years, the Atlanta Journal shows that "the Constitution of the United States, in the first place, must be amended. This in itseli involves long campaign of educa' tiOn, for the sanction of congress must be backed up with the actions of legis. latures, and there is a decided incli. nation throughout this country to let the Constitut tiOn remain as it is. So that if it is true the force and reasonableness of the arguments in favor of the proposed change are rec Ognized by business men and stu. dents of economic and political condi- tiohs, the mass of people in this coun- try stand as bulwark opposed to it."

Occasionally the "Majah" would
lose a piece of his clothes or be sent
sprawling on the sward. He was jos
tied about so much that he even lost
some Of his teeth. It became so
strenuous for the advertisement after
a while that he decided to leave for
Oakland. The "Majah" protested as
he went that he had seen enough of

DRINKS POISON
AFTER QUARREL
Girl, Despondent Because of
Tiff With Her Lover, Ends
Life With CarboIic Acid
BODY FOUND BY SISTER
For the Third Time the CorO-
ner Takes Body Away From
a Home in Lower Districts
Oakland Office San Francisco Can,


Magdalena Fella, Is years old. an
operative at the California Cotton
Mills, committed suicide to-day by
swallowing carbolic acid in the base
ment of her home, $50 Madison street.
The body, with an empty vial marked
poison near it, was found this even
ing by Lizzie Fella, 16 years old, sis
ter of the dead girl.
A lovers quarrel was the cause of the
suicide according to the sisters ex-
planation to Deputy Coroner Henry
Quellen. Miss Fella had been keeping
company for some time with John An
derson, a painter, residing at Twenty
second street and San Pablo ave-
nue.. Anderson called Sunday night
at the Fella home and the young
woman went to the theater with her
friend, returning late that night. Last
night Anderson was at the house and
the pair went out. When the girl re-
turned home she was crying and told
her sister that she had quarreled with
Anderson, and did not care to see him
any more.
AS usual, Miss Fella took her lunch
basket this morning and left the house,
apparently to go to work. Instead of
following her customary route to the
local train at Seventh and Oak streets.
the girl went into the basement so
quietly that she attracted no ones at
tentiOn. There she arranged herself on
a pile of stove wood and drank the vial
of caustic fluid. The body was cold in
death when the sister found it.
Three times has the Coroner been
called to the Fella home. The first
death there that demanded the officials
attention was that of Charles Fella, the
father, who died August IA, 1900, from
ptomaine poisoning. The trouble was
traced to bad fish eaten by the man.
Next came Charles Fella Jr., who died
October II, 1901, from injuries sus-
tanned by being struck by Southern
Pacific Company's train. The third
case is that of the despondent girl who
ended her life to-day.
Besides a sister the decedent is sur
vived by her mother.
Coroner Mehrmann will hold an in
quest tomorrow.
