'SHASTA'S BENCH
PUZZLE SOLVED
Supreme Court Decides That the
Promise Made by Charles NJ.
Head Was Illegal

In the election contest between
George W. Bush and Charles NJ. Head,
elected superior judge of Shasta cOun-
" in 1906, the supreme court yester-
day reversed the decision of the low
er court sustaining the demurrer OF
its merits. The demurrer was that
the court had no jurisdiction in the
matter and that the facts as stated
in the complaint did not constitute
grounds for legal action.
The tangle in judgeships OF Shasta
county has been occupying the atten-
tion Of various, legal bodies for years.
In 1903 Head was elected superior
Judge Of Shasta county TO hold Office

election the legislature OF the state

who nominated him that il he We're
elected to the second judgship he would
refuse TO qualify, hoping 10 defeat the
act of the legislature creating the Sec

many Of the taxpayers of the county.

through illegal promises made the tax
payers OF the county. 1t was the opin-
ion OF the supreme court that the prom
Use made by Head TO not qualify was
illegal in that il was an OFFER to con-
fer pecuniary advantage on the voters.
The higher court also took occasion to
show that the failure OF Head to qualify
