swer as to his ability to dispose of
the bond issue of $4,000 which is
TO cover cost OF erection of the coun-
y buildings.
That some action is quickly needed
Is evident from the crowded condi-
ton of the jail building, in which
more than twice the inmates its
largest number should be are con-
fined at present IL is therefore pos
sible that the commissioners will de-
eide to secure or build temporary
jail quarters. in which to keep a

Although vigorously objecting to
being broken of the habit which to
their mind is one from which no evil
effects can accrue. the four Chinese
confined in the county Jail for opium
smoking are being given a remedy
which, it is claimed, will cure them
of the habit they have acquired.
When they recovered from the in
fiuence OF the powerful narcotic, after
they had been imprisoned, the were
so nervous that they could not lie
down, nor could they stand still Il

When the cases of the people ar
rested on Friday night for violation
of the city ordinance covering santa
ton and blocking the streets were
called yesterday, City Attorney Wal
ker moved their dismissal. This was
done BY Judge Cartwright and the Of
tenders allowed to go free.
The sudden dismissal of the ac-
tions caused no little speculation
among those familiar with the facts.
the general opinion being that the
city attorney had found that the ordi,
nance vas faulty in some respect and
for that reason could not be enforced.
Mr.. Walker on being interviewed. de-
MED this strongly
My reasons for asking dismissal
of the actions were that | have found
that the persons under arrest on the
charge of violating the ordinance had
in the main done so innocentiy.
There we're a few against whom the
cases might we'll be pushed. but as
they show disposition to make right
start. / believed it best to give them
the opportunity to do so.
Il was shown by some that they
were employing scavengers to clean
up ut stated periods while others had
violated the ordinance innoeently
They know now that the law Is in
effect and so far as the city Is con-
cerned it is satisfied. We do not
want to make criminals out of the
business men by fining them. All
fines which have been assessed will
be remitted.

LEGAL TALENT PUZZLED.
Amended Complaint Filed in the
Consolidated Copper Case.

Amended complaint, in accordance
with the order of the district court
at recent session, was yesterday filed
filed by District Attorney Eddy in
the action of the State VS.. the Con-
solidated Copper Co. for delinquent
taxes.
The complaint is not different in
many ways from the original except
that it is more specific. The partic-
uiar paragraph in which the greatest
amount of change Is to be noted, is
that in which the amount of taxes
alelged due is set forth. This al
leges that there is a state tax of
$156.10, a county tax for s40i. 40
and A Special school tax of sf67 25
due.
The case Is a peculiar one. the
properly having been assessed to two
different parties John Mungerson
paid a portion of the whole which
was assessed on a ranch which is 8
part of the property levied on while
the same taxes are asked of the com
pany.
Upon being offered the remainder
of the taxes with the portion paid
subtracted. the county treasurer
found timself unable under the law
to acce 1t it and receipt for the whole.
The tax therefore remained unpaid
and the action was brought. Whether
it can be made good is a question
which is causing good deal of de-
bate among the legal talent of the
district.

The suit. IL started. will be based on
the complaint that the New York players

sum Of several thousand dollars because
of the action Of the league in designating
another club as the pennant viner. Each
individual PLAYER eligible for a Champion
