THE STATE LOSES S20o.ooo.

Governor Jefferson Davis went before the people last year and made strong plea for pubIle favor, claiming that he had raised the railroad assessments thousands of dollars. While in fact this was not literally true, as was pointed out at the tune by thts and scores of other papers, the other mem bers of the board being at least equally, and really, deserving of the credit, Governor Davis reaped great benefit.
 Governor Davis has had a chance of heart, and recently joined forces with Senator Clark. who gets fee of S30000 10 reduce this assess. ment other words, compro- mise with the railroads for approx. imately s350,O0o instead of ap. proximateIy s57o,000 which, ac. earding to lhe assessment. they lighttuliy owe the State.
 The Times Would rot have the railroads pay one cent they do not owe. We do-unt believe that arairoad corporation should he imposed upon or be made to pav approximately one cent more than aa individual We believe that they shoats be treated fairly and equjtabIy inst the same as aa ladi rldual citizen Butt the assess ment heretofore made. and of which the governor prated when he Was stnmFng the state. was tair and equitable, then=tbe ral- roads should have been required to pay The full amount under tue law. the same as you OF We would be required to pay this assessment Was unfair. wrong oppressive. aud above what the railroad, should be assessed, they tad fccoursc 10 the courts, and the courts or the legis. Iature should Lave set il aside.
 The matter went 10 the court, and temporary injunction was issued restraining the cerljfieation If this assessment. and when the governor asked the legislature to ratity his compromise. that body refused to have anything 10 do with the matter This would lead ns to believe that they had faith in the equity of the assessment.
 The state board, which however was composed ot new members except the governor, was urged by Senator Clark 10 accept the com. promise, and they dld so. The matter was then taken before the Pulaski Chancery court and the United States court, sitting jointly and the action of the board judged to be within their powers, though the court side.stepped when they were asked to endorse the action ot the board as wise and for the best interest of the state. They sad 1t was not pari of their busi. ness 10 say whether the action of the board was polite or not, or words 10 that effect.

WILL APPEAL
FROM DECISION
Hartman and Pierce Are to-
Carry Northern Securities
Case to the Supreme Court

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-That the
Northern Securities case will be taken
up to the United States Supreme Court
on a writ of certiorari by E. H. Harri-
man and the interests allied with him
was announced by w. D. Guthrie of
counsel for the Hartman faction to-
day. Copies of the decision Of the
United States Court of Appeals were
received by counsel to-day. After pc
rusal of the decree Guthrie said an ap-
plieation for q writ would be made to
the Supreme Court as soon as the court
reconvened.
The Court of Appeals dissolved the
injunction which had been secured by
the Hartman interests restraining the
distribution OF the assets of the North
ern Securities Company and it's decision
was in effect a defeat for the interests
of Hartman and Winslow S. Pierce to
secure the return OF the Northern Pa
cific stock which they turned over to
the Northern Securities Company. and
which was valued at SIS, ,09S, 900.
1t is expected that a writ of certio-
rari from the United States Supreme
Court viii act as stay and prevent
temporarily the distribution of the
Northern Pacific stock held by the
Great Northern Company.

+:
a Battle With the Savages
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

TUCSON, Ariz. Jan. 5.-The eXpedi-
tion against the Seri Indians of Tib-
ugon Island returned to Guaymas
Wednesday, dissipating the rumor that
the entire party had been ambushed
and massacred by the savages. Gov
ernor Ysabel, who commanded the ex-
.pedition. instead of being surprised by
the Indians, took the savages un-
aWares, slew nearly three score in a
sharp fight, and took the survivors.
numbering nearly a hundred, prisoners.
The PapagGes who went from Quay
mas by land TO Tiburon are still be-
lieved to have been annihilated by the
Seris. although no information re-
''garding them can be gained from the
prisoners who survived the fight on
TibuTon.
The Mexican expedition came upon
the Seris the second day after landing.
The island is not large and the mixed
ferce of Seris and Yaquis was soon run
down. The Seris were armed with
bows and arrows while a few OF the
faQuis had rifles. The battle was
short. but the MeXicans had lost TWEEN
~ killed and reduced the ranks of the
enemy by half before the Seris sunren-
dered. The survivors, together with the
women and children who huddled to-
gether at some distance, had watched
the fight, were made prisoners. The
ship which brought the Mexican ex-
pedition to the island could not make
second landing for two days because of
veritable hurricane which came up
the night aftet' the fight and Ysabei
WAS consequently compelled 10 remain
on The island for two days A detach-
ment which crossed to the mainland in

DEMENTED MAN
IS CAPTURED
Stranger Who Jumped From
Santa Fe Train Is Caught
i'm Mountains Near Keene

BAKERSFIELD. Jan. 5.-Constable
Ketts to-day arrested a wild man in
the mountains near Keene, on the
Southern Pacific line. The man, who
appears TO have been an old soldier,
became demented last Tuesday while
passing through the mountains as a
passenger on the Santa Fe train, and
breaking the window in a Pullman car
sprang TO the ground and fed into the
adjoining hills.
When found to-day by the constable
the stranger was covered with blood,
due to cuts made by the broken win
dow glass. He had wandered around
miserably in the mountains during two
severely cold nights. He fiercely fought
,<lle officer and had to be tied hand and
foot. He is now lodged in the County
Jail and an effort is being made to dis
cover his identity.

OPPOSES Dissolution
OF IRRIGATION DISTRICT
Attorney of Escondido Says Petition
Was Not by Majority of
Stockholders.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 5.-Attorney F.
P. Willard OF Escondido this after
noon filed a document in the Superior
Court opposing the dissolution of the
Escondido Irrigation District. 1t is al
legged that the petition for the dissolu-
ton of the district was not signed by
a majority of the land owners of the
district and that the assessment made
is not valid lien against the proper
~. 1t is further alleged that the plan
proposed is a scheme TO change the
irrigation district into a stock COM
pany and sever the water from the
land.
Some weeks ago the property own
ers of the district voted to pay off
the Indebtedness of the district
amounting to a quarter of a million
dollars. This was done and it was
then proposed to form a water asso-
citation. Attorney Willard says the as
sociation would not be public utility,
but on the contrary would be a close
corporation. The court has not yet
confirmed the dissolution. The pro-
test will be heard by Judge Conklin
at a date not yet set.
