S.lst in The E7ee!

Percy Oviatt was out with
the boys Saturday evening
watching the old year out and
the new year in. Just as the
clock struck " the boys turned
their shot guns and revolvers
loose and made noise enough to
wake up the dead. In some
way Percy shot himself through
the left heel, the ball entering
the top of the heel just below
the ankle and coming out at
the bottom of the foot. When
he pulled his shoe off, the bullet,
a - caIibef, dropped out Of the
shoe. Dr.. j. L. Tamisiea was
called and dressed the wound
and Percy will stay at home
fer several days now.

We would suggest that tn

inspectors over the state of

the same as the duties of the

is the cause of more deaths

at their word, we also suggest
that democrats be appointed

application would be ten to one

 Pine Bluff Defeated.

In a slow and ucintorestlng game the Arkansas Military academy foot tall eleven defeated the Pre Bluff \. NJ. C. A. team at West End park yesterday afternoon by a score of A tc 0, says the Gazette. Six touch gowns and four goals were made by the local players without much diff culty But once or twice did they al low their opponents to get within striking distance of the A M. A. goal.
 Three touchdowns were made in each half In the first part of the con- test. with Coach Park of the A. M. A. team playing left half ana Major Sin clair of the A. M. A.. faculty at. full back, the local players tore Up the Pine Bluff line as though it were of taper. After Park and Sinclair had retired in the second half the play was more even, although the A. M. A. eleven showed superior team work.
 Most of the gains of the A. M. A. team were made through the line. With the exception of run of 103 yards by Thomas for the last touch down and 3O-yard dashes by Ramsey and Coyle, the ball was pushed toward the goal straight through the Pine Bluff line
 In contrast to the style of game rlayed by the A. M A. team was that put up by the visitors. The only gains of any consequence made by the Pine Bluff eleven were On wide end runs by Mullin, left half back. One occasion in the second half that speedy player eluded the entire A. M. A. team and chased 80 yards across ,he field, only to stumble and fall twenty yards from the A. M. A. goal On another play he slipped past the A. M. A. ends and was headed for a touchdown, but he was stopped within ten yards of the A. M A. goal by Warrington after having carried the ball sixty yards. These two efforts were the only noteworthy ones made by Pine Bluff except when ten-yard gain was made through a trick play by the quarter back. left half and left end
 Coyle was the most brilliant player
 
 good for gain through the line and on defense he played an excellent game Park, Sinclair, Ramsey and Thomas were also remarkably strong

GOSSIP IN CAMP
OF POLITICIANS
Election in San Bernardino
Is Announced as Victory
for Steve Kelley's Forces
INCIDENTS OF THE FIGHT
Governor Pardee Considers
Long List of Applicants
for State Mineralogist
INCIDENTS OF THE FIGHT

Steve Kelley still holds the works
In San Bernardino County and there
are indications that he will be able
to deliver the goods in the campaign
OF 1906. He won out at the recent city
election through the agency of nom
partisan ticket. 1t was planned that
the Republican Committee should not
call convention to nominate a city
ticket. but minority members of the
committee met, filled vacancies, called
a convention, nominated candidates
and demanded that the nominees
should be placed on the official ballot
under the regular party designation.
The City Clerk In the face of a deci-
sion of the State organization of the
party, that the minority members of
the committee had the right to fill
vacancies on the committee and call
nominating convention, refused to act,
and did not put the ticket on the ballot
until the Supreme Court issued writ
of mandate in which the ruling of the
State organization was sustained.
The opponents of the Kelley faction
fancied the victory was won when the
court recognized the right of a minor
ity of committee to present the party
organization, but the voters of San
Bernardino expressed the opinion that
members of the local Republican or
ganization represented the machine
element in politics. The result of the
election in San Bernardino is not con-
strued as an Endorsement of Speaker
Prescott's course In the Senatorial
contest at Sacramento.
The term of Office of L. E. Aubury,
State Mineralogist expired February
% last, and there is gossip in mining
and political circles to the effect that
his successor will soon be chosen.
The appointing power resides with the
Governor but the wishes of the Board
of Trustees of the Mining Bureau are
generally considered. Word comes
from Sacramento that the Governor
has long list of applications on
file. Among the applicants are w. A.
Storms, Louis Janin Sr.. Harold Fair
banks, w. H. Turner, d. Louderback
and others. The Trustees would not
be surprised If the Governor should
go outside of the list of applicants
and select E. H. Benjamin for the
place.

VAST HOLDINGS
KEPT FROM USE
Counsel Give Startling Fig
ures in Briefs Against
Satro VIII Trust Clause
ASK FOR DISTRIBUTION
Say One Twenty-Fifth of
Land in City Is Tied Up
Contrary to Public Policy

From the Magma Charta to the con-
stitUtion of California the argument
of counsel reaches in the action insti-
tuted by the heirs of the late Adolph
Sutro To declare invalid the trust
clause in the last will OF the departed
millionaire This argument is con-
tanned in briefs filed for Judge Cof-
fey's cog1tation, during the vacation
period when all others are enjoying
themselves" says the court Bishop,
/, Wheeler & Hoef1er and J. +. Bowie Of
counsel are the authors. the briefs
being in support of their motion for
distribution TO the heirs Of the vast
realty holdings Of the estate.
The lands tied up in the trust clause
of the Will it is stated In the briefs,
comprise one twenty-fifth of the total
acreage of the city and county of San
Francisco and one-fifth Of the land Of
the CITY and county that is neither
covered by dwellings nor embraced
within municipal or Federal reserva-
tons for park and other purposes The
trust clause, il is further set forth,
restrains absolutely the alienation of
all these lands until such time after
the death of the last Of the six sur
viving children Of the testator as the
trustees deem a release would be to
the best interests of the heirs.
This effort to restrain for an indef-
8nite period the alienation OF such
large holdings, it is contended by
counsel, is against public policy and
an support of this contention section
2 Of article IL of the constitution,
which is as follows, is quoted:
The holding of large tracts of land,
uncultivated and unimproved by indi-
iNiduals or corporations is against pub
lie interest and should be discouraged
by all means not inconsistent with the
rights of private property"
Here is one twenty-fifth Of the en-
tire acreage of this city about to be
withdrawn for perhaps half CEN
tury from any use whatsoever, say
the heirs, and they pray that the ef-
fort Of Adolph Sutro to preserve in
tact his lands for the use of another
generation be defeated as being in
conflict with modern ideas of prog
ress.
In an effort to determine the valid
itv of various devises of the late John
S. Doe counsel have also filed long
briefs. These will furnish Judge Cof-
fey with more vacation reading in
event those in the Sutro case do not
exhaust his entire time during his
supposed period of leisure.
