Favor, but Motion Is
OVerruIed
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN BERNARDINO, July 27.-A
startling incident occurred just as
court adjourned in the case of Justice
of the Peace Stanley w. Houghton Of
Orc Grande, on trial for the murder of
Hieronymus Hartman. The first We
nire had been exhausted, ten jurors
having been obtained. and a new We
nire had been ordered for tomorrow
morning.
District Attorney Dickson rose and
made objections to the summoning of
The second venire by Sheriff Ralphs, or
any member of his office, on the
ground that the sheriff and deputies
are prejudiced in favor of the defend
ant. Such a motion Is often heard
from the defense, but it is the first
time such a, request ever came from
the prosecution in local court.
Houghton's attorneys fought the
move bitterly and Judge Oster finally
denied the request and ordered the
venire drawn by the sheriff.
The Jurors accepted today are J..
Stewart, j. s. Crosley, e. P. Chaffee,
J. Fl. Brewster. A. e. Wilcox, B. c..
Shepherd, Samuel Scott, A. c. Cooley,
A. Johnston and w L. Fowler.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, July 27.-This city Is
worth about 100000 more than it was
last year, according to the figures of
City Assessor Kellogg, just published.
The assessed valuation within the
city limits Is about $37,000,000. The
property outside the limits, but inside
the school district, adds about $S,000,000
more.
The increase, Kellogg says, is due to
the improvements and new buildings
which have been erected during the
past year.
In case the water bonds are passed
approximately 100000 will have to be
taken off the figures to make up for
the city's ownership of these plants.
