NEW BOARD IS
STILL At OUTS
SUPERVISORS CAUCUS AGAIN
WITHOUT RESULT
PROBLEM OF GUARDIANSHIP RE-
MAINS UNsoLVED
Incoming Members Afraid to Throw
Their Strength for HoldoVers
or Decide on One of
Themselves

The deadlock in the caucus of the
new board Of supervisors, as it will h
constituted after January 1, still con-
tinues, each of the aspirants to the
office, which will be vacated by Chair
man Patterson, hoping he himself will
be selected to head the new board.
Another meeting was held behind the
closed doors of the stock room of the
board yesterday. It lasted less than ten
minutes. Nobody was present besides
Messrs. Manning, Eldridge, McCabe,
Pridham and Nellis, and none of them
would say what transpired.
I'VE are in the same position as we
were after the meeting Friday" said
one Of those who took part, land that
is virtually all that can be said at this
time"
The new board will hold another
meeting some day next week not yet
decided. 1t was reported yesterday
that the newly elected members of the
board were not averse to Withdrawing
from the race for the Craftsmanship, but
did not feel like throwing their strength
either to Manning or Eldridge, fearing
the result might cause friction between
themselves and the old members of the
board. Owing to this attitude, it is
said, the new members believe one of
their own number should be selected,
but here confusion again arises, as
Pridham, Nellis and McCabe all desire
the plum. which carries with it a great
deal of patronage.
Were it not for the fear in the minds
of these men that their votes for either
Manning or Eldridge would arouse a
feeling of animosity, 1t Is believed Man
ming would prove the stronger of the
two holdover members, owing to his
record as supervisor having been free
from criticism.

CONTINUESJUDGEMENT
DEBT CASE A DECADE
DEFENDANT ALREADY IS SEN
FENCED TO TEN YEARS
Debtor Refuses to Take Witness
Stand, but Being Under Detention
Precludes Punishment for
Contempt

The longest continuance granted in
any case by the superior court Of this
county, if not in the state. was ordered
by Judge Oster yesterday when he
postponed for ten years the hearing on
an action against John Lapique, who
was brought into court from the coun-
ty jail as a judgment debtor.
Lapique has been sentenced to ten
years Imprisonment at Folsom be-
cause of his connection with an alleged
land swindle Prior to his conviction
Mrs. Lizzie Sheehan secured an attach
ment against his property to satisfy a
debt of $500. There was nothing to at
tach.
When Lapique entered the court
room he was told to take the witness
stand He refused. Here was pre-
dicament, for Lapique, being an inmate
of the county jail, it would be useless
to commit him to the same institution
for contempt.
Then Mrs. Sheehan's attorney asked
for a continuance. "All right" said
the court, the case will be continued
ten years"

HOLD ROAD BUILDING BEE
FOR SOUTHWEST MUSEUM
Business Men PLY Pick and Shovel,
Making Trail Half a Mile
Long by Three Feet
Wide

A good. old-fashioned 'bee," like
those in which the neighborhood used
to come together from forty miles
around to raise barn." husk corn or
quilt, was held at the Southwest Mu-
scum hill, opposite Sycamore grove,
Thursday. A dozen well known citi-
zens. personally or by proxy, and more
by person than by proxy, worked from
8 a. m. until nearly noon with pick,
shovel, hoe and mattock to make 3
per cent grade UP this magnificent To-
cation for the Southwest museum.
1t was really a rejuvenatlon party,
for nearly all are now men of affairs,
and not used to violent labor, But all
enioyed it and worked with will.
Apparently most of them had the good
fortune of an early training in hard
work before they became editors
bankers, authors, artists or capitalists.
ANYHOW. in the forenoon's work
they made an excellent three-foot trail
up which any one can easily ride
horseback, with a grade which would
do for automobiles if it We're only
wider, half a mile long from the end
of the Museum hill at the yellow Gar
Vanza car line at Avenue 40 TO the
commanding summit, about 800 feet
higher. They grubbed out sagebrush
and a long line of stubborn mustard,
chopped out the surface Limestone
wherever necessary and shoveled and
hoed and raked. At noon the ladies'
brought a bountiful lunch to the twin
holly bushes at the head Of the steep
est trail, and there was a charming pic
mic, with good appetites. Few people
realize that such magnlHcent view
can be had in this city. Now that an
easv trail is provided, thousands will
doubtless visit the hill and enjoy she

that diviner man, foreshadowed in the
beast How few people ever get any
thing more than mere glimpse of the
true glory of life! Few of us see any real
sentiment In life or anything above the
real animal existence and animal pleas
ures. Most of us look upon our occu-
patton as a disagreeable necessity that
somehow or other ought to have been
and might have been avoided. The
trouble with many of us is that we
think too meanly Of ourselves. Our
sordid aims and material, selfish ann
bitions have so lowered our standards
that we think downward instead of up
ward; we grovel instead of soaring,
Our lives are materialistic. selfish,

which oblterated the starry heavens
from his gaze Welton dropped his eyes
and stared at two points Of yellow
light that oscillated near the ground.
They were ten inches apart and
they moved In unison. Welton calcu-
lated that they must be just without
the bamboo stockade which inclosed
the compound.
There was prlckly feeling along the

realized that Chuni had neglected to
close the great gate and that there
was perhaps only a hundred feet In

the open window Of the little drawing
room.
He thought rapidly, with his eyes
fixed on the lambent points Of flame In
the velvet gloom of the gateway. If
he made dash for the window and
the safety that lay beyond the beast
would spring before he could close the
shutters behind his retreating form. II
he could make Akerslie hear, at least

whisper

the slow approach OF the yellow eyes,
could hear the padding OF the great
