A. j. lie Fort Will Be Tried in
Superior Court on AS
sanlt Charge

OAKLAND. May 27.-With the bind
ing over to the superior court of A. j.
LIE Fort by Police Judge Samuels. this
morning, there was completed in the
police court one of the nost unusual
preliminary hearings with which the
police have had to do. lie Fort was
held for trial without the testimony
or attendance in court of the proseeut-
ing witness. Henry G. Miller. on whom
lie Fort is alleged TO have committed
assault with deadly weapon.
LIE Fort was proprietor of the Press
saloon, which was closed by the city
council two weeks ago because of the
charge of the robbery in it of Mrs.
Edith McCrea of 2725 Persimmon street,
Fruitvale That alleged crime un-
earthed a mass of other charges. in
cluding the attempt to drug the Fruit
vale woman. for which Joe c. Jones,
Charles Mack and Philip Reader are
awaiting trial.
Miller. before Mrs. McCrea was said
to have been robbed. had caused lie
Forts arrest for assault with a deadly
weapon. The saloon keeper, il was
charged, lured Miller to a lonely spot
and beat him unconscious with black
Jack because Miller, once his bar
tender had demanded back wages.
When lie Forts case was called in the
police court several days ago, Miller
was absent. The police have failed ut
terly to find him, and Attorney Phil
Walsh. defending lie Fort. sought to
have the case dismissed. The police
surprised Walsh by presenting in the
police court three witnesses to the as
sault, and though three days contin-
uance was ordered after their testimony
to allow the police to seek Miller again,
IT was the evidence they gave that led
to lie Forts being held for trial
lie Forts bond was fixed at $4,000, J.

EVENTS IN THE COUNTIES THE BAY OF SAN FRANCISCO
PAYS SS5,75O ON
BIG TAX ACCOUNT
Peoples Water Company Gives
Part of SlO4,OOO Due, but
Will Contest Balance

OAKLAND. May 27.-An agreement
has been reached between the Peoples
water company on one side and At
torney General Webb and District At
torney Donahue on the other. whereby
the water company viii pay as taxes
the sum of sS5.75O on account of the
total of $104 600. for which it has been
sued. The balance sued for is still in
controversy. and the action pending
will be prosecuted for that amount
The Contra Costa water company
was sued for taxes on its franchises,
pipes and the water in Lake ChabOt
several years ago. after having refused
to pay such taxes. The Peoples water
company is the successor of the Contra
Costa water company. Several efforts
of compromise have been made re-
Gently by the water company, all Of
which were refused. The amount of
$S5.750 is for taxes on the franchises
and pipes. while the balance is on the
water owned by the company. The
courts will have to decide whether the
company can be taxed for the water
it owns. 1t is expected that the courts
will hold that no interest can be recOv-
cred on the taxes due. owing to the
fact that proceedings were stopped in
1904 by an Injunction issued in San
Francisco by Judge MuTasky.
Attorney General Webb and District
Attorney Donahue were afraid at first
to accept the partial payment from
the Peoples water company. as they
feared it might jeopardize their right
to collect the remainder. An examina-
tion of numerous decisions convinced
them, however. that it was safe to
take SIS, $50 on account.
The suit for back taxes against the
water company was begun in 1904. AS
all the records in the case were de-
stroyed in the fire of April, 1906, it
has been necessary to restore them

Forty thousand head Of hogs in four
days is the best record OF the season at the
South Omaha market The receipts here
tofore have been unusually small. This is
a little better han the average and is uo
doubt one Of the results OF the very high
prices paid. Last year the entire week
corresponding to the present one showed
only 40.OO0 head. This week will proba bly,
make a record Of 5000 head. The prices
range from about ISIS 10 SE per hundred.
The extreme top Of $50 reached last week
has not been duplicated. The market con-
ditions improved Thursday and became
active at the prices offered.
For the first time the packing houses have
been killing out on the hog floors on a full

made it possible. The force OF workmen
which is being carried nss not been as
large this year as last o. account OF the
persistent light runs on the market. The
same conditions are said 10 exist in Ill
other markets in more pronounced degree.
