Specie Bank, which will be heard by
Judge Hebbard on the 18th inst.
Fontanel, two years before the fire.
leased from Steinnart for FIVE years the
building at SIS Montgomery street, cor
ner of Commercial. The terms of the
lease provided that Fontanel was to
keep the inside in repair and the owner
was TO keep up the outside. Fontanei
conducted saloon on the ground floor,
renting space in front to John S. Parry
for IA cigar store.
The fire left the walls and ceiling OF
the place standing. Three weeks ago
Fontanel, then in Oakland. heard that
the. place had been repaired, and that
He went to Steinhart and made a pro-
test. The banker said he ..ad tried to
find .F'ofltanei, but could not do so. He
said he would not cancel the lease to
the; Yokohama Bank.
~ Fontanel said he was ready to pay
his rent and always had been, and had
no intention of abandoning the build
ing. He consulted Attorney Edward
Lande. who told him that as long as
the building had not been destroyed he
had right TO possession under his lease.
The fact that the Yokohama Bank: could
do business in it showed that it was
not destroyed. he said. He added that
under the statute the building could
not be taken possession of by the own
ers until the lessee had given notice
that he did not want Il longer.
Judge Graham issued a temporary in
