Decision on Sheep Law

A decision Just handed down by the
supreme court has attracted consider
able attention from the attorneys of the
state owing to the fact that it involves
the constitutionality Of what is ktlown
us the "sheep law" passed i'm 1893. The
question of cOnstitutionality of the law
was not argued ut great length by the
attorney in the particular case but this
issue will likely be presented squarely
to the court within IL short time by some
other cases which will be appealed to
the supreme court. III the case in
question, the Pyramid Land and Stock
Company against George T. Pierce and
|. N. Blakeless, the court held the law
constitutional
The attack on the validity of the law
is made on the grounds that it provides
that in case the plaintiff in the case
wins, he is entitled to all the costs,
attorney fees, etc, while if the defend
ant wins he is not entitled to such relief.
The California courts have repeatedly
held and some of the other courts, it is
IlttNt ttiSO Htltl, bIldU SUCH ttCUS were
unconstitutional However. that makes
Il distinction when the laws come under
what might be known as police regula-
tions and this act in question may be
SO classed.
The sheep cases frequently arise in
the northern and eastern parts of the
state and the costs are always very
heavy. AS an example case arose a
short time ago in Elko county where the
damages awarded amounted to $11
while the costs amounted to about
1850. The costs are still accrlmlating
in the case, too. Under the law at
tackled the trcspasser is compelled to
pay twice the amount of the damage
done, the attorneys fees and costs; and
the Judgment is the first lien on the
sheep for the amount. 1t is said that
the business is n rather profitable one
for certain class of attorneys. &C Carson

Western Pacific Moving Fast at Western End

The Western Pacific expects to have
completed continuous line of track
from far up the Feather river, above
Oroville, Cal, down into the city of
Oakland, by July 4. The difficult job
of excavating the long tunnel at Niles,
more than 1000 feet, has just been com
pleted, and the interior will probably be
finished within about two months, with
it's equipment of timbering and IL uni
form bed for the road.
Track laying has been completed
through the city of Sacramento from the
southwark and work is about to begin
in spanning the unrailed gap of fifty
two miles from Marysville down to
Sacramento, That will take about two
months, possibly longer. Meanwhile
the tnnnnl men will be finishing off the
interior of the long hole at Niles and
trackmen building from the west portal
of the Niles tunnel into Oakland All
present nothing is being done westward
of the Niles tunnel, but there is plenty
of time for that stretch of road to be fin
ished while the men are at work on the
fifty two mile span from Marysville to
Sacramento. Up in the Sierra the gangs
are diligently digging away inside the
numerous tunnels without any specific
finished results to add to the list of COM
Dleted tunnels. --EXchange

They are talking about IL girl 10 years

Wis, who has a strange and voracious
appetite. She will devour dozen can
dies as fast as they are handed her, and
has eaten twenty raw potatoes in as
many minutes. With people looking on
she ate two pounds of butter and the
same of uncooked bacon, and then fin
