The RAILROAD RIGHT OF WAY.

1t seems that the effort to effect a
settlement with the property holders
along the line of survey of the road
from the Oneida to jackson have
proved unavailing, and the prospects
is that litigation will have to be re-
sorted to under the law of eminent
domain. Wiltord Dennis was out
there the past week and found some
of the property owners so extravagant
in their demands for damages that
there was no possibility of agreeing
upon terms, without an appeal to
law One it is reported wanted $4,000,
and was offered $500. The disparity was
so great that meeting place was out
of the question. 1t is rumored that
the owners are standing together to
prevent the road from coming to
jackson. The impression seems to
be that by holding it at Oneida,
jackson Gate will be benefited to a
greater extent than if it comes
through to the county seat. This is
short sighted policy, and one that
is not likely to succeed. If litigation
is had the chances are that the
holders will get less than by mutual
arrangement out OF court, with the
cost of legal proceedings deducted
there from.
Meanwhile the grading OF the main
line between Oneida and Jackson is
going ahead. Some 70 horses are en-
ployed. 1t does not look as If the
railroad we're going to quit because
of the demands of some of the
owners along the route.

WORKING TAILINGS.

Chas. l.. Maze for nearly two months
has been working on the sulphurets
dump of the Kennedy. These tail
ings contain from So to SO per ton
in gold. Other products might be OF
value for fuxing purposes at smelt-
ing establishment. How to get this
value out at profit is a proposition
that has puzzled and indeed vanquish-
ed all who have heretofore tried to
solve it. In Sutter Creek much
money and time have been spent on
the tailings of the sulphurets works,
but without success. Mr.. Maze is
connected with the University, and
believes be has a plan of working that
may leave small margin of profit.
He has also been devotlng time to the
tailings from the Argonaut mill with
the view of redeeming a paying per.
centage of the values that now escape
in the shape of slime and sulphGrets.

that the first act of the new minister
of the interior M. Boutigan, on ar

the time and the police made sys-

all the private papers in the house.
The correspondent adds that when NJ
Won Plehve was assassinated he was
carrying an order to the emperor for
his signature authorizing just such a
requisition for M. Whites papers. 1t

as though the new interior admins

MARKED FOR DEATH, HE
ESCAPES WITH SCRATCH
Mexican Attempts to Murder John c
Mccarthy for Fancied
WronQ

An attempt to murder John c. Nc
Carthy, jr., of the Grimes-Stassforth
Stationery company, in the county hos
pital grounds last night failed only
because the would-be assassin, in the
darkness misjudged the distance with
his knife.
Instead of striking vital spot, the
knife welded by an unidentified Mex
lean seeking revenge, struck Mccarthy
across the palm of the right hand, cut
ing his glove and making light
scratch near his wrist.
The attack took place at the entrance
to the east gateway where the Mexi-
can was lying in wait for his intended
victim.
Mccarthy drew his revolver but
stumbled and fell over the root Of a
tree. This gave time for the Mexican
to escape. Mccarthy fired two shots
at the fleeing figure but thinks neither
took effect.
Several months ago Mccarthy was in
charge of number of cholos engaged
in railroad construction work in Ari-
zona. He had trouble with several of
them and when he came to Los Ange-
les he is of the opinion that they fol-
lowed him here seeking revenge.
One of them watched his movements
and learned that he was a frequent
caller at the county hospital.

" TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 1O.-The house
today adopted a resolution empowering
Speaker Stubbs to appoint committee
of five to investigate charges of alleged
boodling, and the speaker Immediately
named a committee and instructed it to
go to the bottom of the rumors and
report it's findings tonight.
Following the adoption of the reso-
luton Speaker Stubbs said:
Il should like to see this committee
go to the bottom of things and if any
member has been guilty of misconduct,
I would like to see him expelled from
the house and his name bulletined for
the benefit of the state.'
One of the members of the committee
suggested that the committee not be
limited in its investigation and sug-
gested that railroad attorneys be
brought in and compelled to exhibit
their passbooks and stubs.

"the bride is off and you are to go into
anything you want to. If there is a
barrel here we want to know where
it is."
Previous to the appointment of the
investigating committee the support
ers of the measure which provides for
the erection by the state of an oil re-
fnery won a victory for their bill when
they secured it's reference to the COM
mittee of the whole. The measure
already had passed the senate and the
vote today referring it to this COM
mittee indicates, it is believed, that it
has enough supporters to insure it's
passage by the house.

Face Was Flushed

On direct examination by Attorney
Will Anderson of the Los Angeles Bar
association, Attorney Wright testified
that Judge Torrance's face was flushed
and that in delivering his opinion at
the conclusion of the argument on the
demurrer, he asserted that his words
were incoherent.
But when asked to give his opinion
as to the San Diego judges condition
relati to sobriety the witness passed
the question up.
Il formed no opinion as to his condi-
tion at that time said the witness.
He even went so far as to declare
that Judge Torrance apparently
grasped the force of his argument, and
he then told the committee that he had
formed an opinion at that time that
Judge Torrance was a keen and able
lawyer.
Attorney Shortridge, who is acting
as chief counsel in behalf of the ac-
cused judge, was apparently well salts
fed with the testimony given by At
torney Wright, as he excused the wit
ness without question on cross
examination.

WITH COMMITTEE
ACCUSED JUDGE HOPES FOR
AC0UlTTAL
EVIDENCE IS CONFLICTING
Mass Of Contradictory Testimony to
Be Considered by Special Legss
lative Board-Decision May
Be Delayed
EVIDENCE is CONFLICTING

The special legislative committee
which has been hearing the charges
against Judge Torrance of San Diego,
concluded it's labors yesterday, and the
question which is foremost now in the
minds of the legal fraternity is, Have
the charges been substantiated?"
The special committee left Los An
geles for Sacramento last night, and
as soon AS dispositions have been taken
at San Diego in connection with the
case, 1t Is expected that an early re-
port to the assembly will be made.
Judge Torrance yesterday took the
stand in his own behalf, and his testi-
mony consisted in the main part of a
fiat denial of the charges filed against
him.
Yesterday afternoon the prosecution
sustained it's final "shock" in Los An
geles when Attorney w. S. Wright of
Pasadena was called to the stand.
The Pasadena attorney testified in
relation to Judge Torrance's conduct
during the argument on a demurrer in
connection with the Redlands Electric
company's case at San Bernardino.
