Death of Judge Tracy.

The many friends and acquaint-
ances of Judge Carter Tracy will re-
gret very much to learn of his death,
which occurred last week. He had
been failing In health for long time
and his death, although greatly re-
gretted and exceedingly painful to
his. relatives and friends, was, for
some time past, not unexpected.
His son, F. c. Tracy and DR.. l..
S. Munsell, left Beaver City with
him last week for the famous health
resort of Missouri, but he grew rap
idly worse and died at Kansas City
before arriving at the Springs.
He was buried Sunday afternoon
at the pretty Beaver City cemetery
under the auspices of the Masons of
which he was an old and honored
member. The funeral was the larg-
est and most respectful gathering,
perhaps of any ever held here.
Carter Tracy is gone and his wise
counsul and learned opinions will be
greatly missed by our people,

GARlBALDI ESTATE MUST PAY
Junk Dealer Wins Suit Against Ex-
ecutors-case of Long Stand
ina in Courts

Judgment for the plaintiff in the
sum of $500 was handed down yester-
day by Judge Trask in department
four Of the superior court in the suit
of H. Fisher against C. Garibaldi.
The suit has been hanging fire in
the superior court for several months
and the costs in the case have grown
to a fair sized imitation of the amount
of the judgment.
Fisher, the plaintiff, is a junk dealer
and wrecker of East First street. and
according to his complaint he sold $24O0
worth of lumber to Garibaldi more
than year ago.
At that time Garibaldi was a wealthy
wine merchant with property near
Pasadena. The lumber purchased from
Fisher was used in building a number
of small store rooms Several months
ago Garibaldi began to act queerly and
was tried on a charge of insanity and
committed to Patton asylum.
Two weeks thereafter Fisher attempt.
ed to collect his bill from Garibaldi's
guardian, but the guardian refused,
giving as an excuse that an eXorbi-
tant price had been charged for the
lumber and that Garibaldi was not in
his right mind when he bought it,
Fisher brought suit and proved that
the guardian had sold most of the
lumber, whereupon Judge Trask found
for the plaintiff.

TELEPHONE COMPANY FIGH is
Case Now on Trial in Federal Courts
Questions Right to Operate
Without Franchise

The question of whether a telephone
company has a right to erect poles and
maintain lines of telephone wires in
the streets of q city in which it has
ne franchise to operate was violently
agitated in the United States circuit
court yesterday.
Robert G.. Loucks, city attorney Of
Pomona, sought to justify his course
of cutting down the poles of the Sun
set Telegraph and Telephone company
in Pomona and the attorneys for the
corporation tried to establish the con-
tention that he had no right to pro-
ceed on any such course.
When Loucks cut down the poles of
the Sunset company it was after he,
I'm his official capacity as attorney for
the city of Pomona, had made the
ruling that the company must take
out u franchise and pay two per cent
of its gross earnings to the the city
of Pomona.
This the company refused to do and
openly defied the attorney, whereupon
he, with a gang of men. went to work
and chopped down several hundred of
the poles of the corporation. He kept
up the work of demolition until he
was restrained by an injunction.
No action was taken by Judge Well
born yesterday and he reset the case
for February %.
