JURY REFUSES TO
ORDER ELECTION.
By q Vote of E TO 3 10 Submit
Question of Prohibiting Sale
Of Liquor in Parish.

A second petition was presented to
the police jury at their meeting yes
terday morning asking them to order
an election on the question of pro-
hibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors in this parish, and a second
time the jury refused to order the elec-
ton.
The court room in which the jury
met was we'll filled with pros and an
tbs, and a large number Ut ladies
both from the town and parish were
present and through Mrs. A. o..
Clark made an appeal to the jury to
grant the election.
Atty. Grow Glrard presented the pc
tltion which he stated contained 1900
names. and argued that the jury
should order the election and submit
the decision of the question to the
people. 1t was democratic prin-
| ciple that the people should rule and
the only way to ascertain the will OF
the people was by a vote. He spoke
at length strongly urging upon the
jury the right of the petitioners to
have the election called.
Atty. Jno. L. Kennedy also ad'
dressed the jury and argued for sub
mission of the question to the people
Atty. K. w. Elliott represented the
aLtis and cOntended that the matter
of ordering an election had already
been decided by the jury at its las
meeting and that it would show indie
cision and varaibleness on their par
to change their decision.
At the close of the arguments Mr.
Spell introduced an ordinance order
ing an electiod as petitioLed for. 4
rising vote was taken and the vot
was as follows: For-Lacy, Spell an

TURNING OUT
The BEST WORK

The bindery of the Bonanza is
turning out the best work in the
city, and it is giving such great salts
faction that anyone who has his work
done there once, never goes anywhere
else. The plant is the finest and
most complete, not only in the State,
but this side of San Francisco. We
can turn out all kinds of work that
is demanded in the Offices If lawyers,
brokers, promoters, mining compan-
les, or for any other kind of business,
and we guarantee satisfaction in
every respect. One trial will be suffi-
cient to establish the truth of this
statement. 1t pays to go where only
the best kind of work is done, and
1t pays to patronize home industry.

JUDGE BUCK Will
SUCCEED HEBBARD

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10
Summary action was taken yesterday
to put an end to the disgrace which
the bench of San Francisco has suf-
fered by the frequent debauches of
Judge j. C. B. Hebbard, when Gov
ernor Gillett assigned Judge George
II. Buck of San Mateo to act pending
Hebbard's incapacity. Hebbard has
of late been in a deplorable condi-
ton, and his friends have placed him
for the time being in a private sana-
torium. Cases have accumulated in
his department and the progress OF
the court work in the city has been
seriously impeded. The attention OF
Presiding Judge George A. Sturte-
want was called to the matter, and
he at once wired Governor Gillett
The State executive responded al
once by selecting Judge Buck to take
charge of Richards court.
Hebbard has not been removed
for under the constitution Superior
judge can be ousted only by vote oil
the legislature. 1t lies within the
power of the governor, however, tc
select one judge to act in place oil
another in case of illness or incapac-
ity. The incapacity of Hebbard has
been called officially to Gillett's at.
tention, and he took action after he
convinced himself that he had the
power to do so.
