SAY "EXAMINER" STORY
ON TAYLOR is FALSE
Trustees of Hastings Law Coll
lege Assert Facts Were
UniuStIy Distorted

Trustees of the Hastings law college,
who were present at the meeting held
Friday brand as utterly false the re-
port in the Examiner purporting to be
an account of what took place at that
gathering The Examiner stated that
a resolution was offered by friends of
the mayor setting forth that he had
not violated his contract with the law
college by accepting and occupying the
office of mayor. The story declared
that there was an equal. division on
this resolution and that the mayor was
much dissatisfied
Under other circumstances, said
Mayor Taylor yesterday, "I would not
discuss the matter, for Chief Justice
Beatty was empowered to give out
everything for publication. But 1 can
discuss the Examiner story. 1t was
false from start to finish. The resolu-
tion which the paper ran under quota
tion marks was never introduced. I
believe that 1T was written in the ,Ex-
aminer office. The things which that
paper attributes to me did not take
place in the meeting
Others present at the meeting corrob-
Grated the statements of the mayor.

WAGES OF A WATCHMAN
 SUPREME COURT CASE
The Dispute Regarding John shermer's Claim Brought Up Yesterday.

The judgment of the district court for this county in the case of H. N. Cox against R. D. M'Donald and the Garcia Gold Mining company of Lon don, Limited, was yesterday brought up to the supreme court on a writ of error for review Tn this case the plaintiff in error was given judgment at the last term Of the district court for $l35750, the balance of the unpaid claim of John Shermer formerly a watchman at the mine. The claim was assigned to the plaintiff sometime be- fore the death of Shermer which oc- cured at the Sisters hospital in this city more than a year ago.
 The employment of Shermer as watchman began in January 1904, and ended in February 1906. There had been paid him $500. It was contended on the part of the defense that no one connected with the defense had au- thorized bis employment but that he was acting for the Western Trust and Investment company of Chicago which had taken an option on the property Fhe payment which Shermer had re- ceived had been made by the Chicago company.
 In proof of the liability of the de- fendants, the plaintiff had offered in evidence a statement in a letter from M'Donald to Shermer in which the former said that if the Chicago com pany did not pay the balance of his salary he would have to do it.
 On the other hand it was shown by
