FISH INSPECTOR.
On THE GRILL
Dealers Claim That Lane Drinks
Spirituous Liquor and Acts
Arbitrarily.

The fshmongers VINO ply their trade
in the markets of this city are after
the scalp of Fish Inspector Lot c.
Lane. Last night a memorial was pre-
sented to the board of supervisors
charging Lane with all manner of
shortcomings and literally asking that
he be given the sack.
1t is charged that, fortified with the
contents of the cup that cheers, Lane
did visit the ishmarket and did force
the vendors of seafood to throw away
large quantities of fine, fancy, luscious
fish, claiming the same to be spoiled.
This the fshmongers deny to have been
the case, and they insist that they be
given some relief.
The other side claims that Lane has
been discharging his duty without fear
or favor and that he has gotten him
self into bad odor with those who be-
Iieved that the laws were made for the
purpose of ornamenting the statute
books and not with any purpose Of
having them enforced. There will be
an investigation.

CAR AND DRAY IN COLLISION

Late yesterday afternoon a car of
the Rapid Transit company, travelling
Eva on King street, bumped into a
Chinese dray near the experiment sta
ton. The motorman evidently thought
that the driver would get across the
track in plenty of time, for he did not
reverse and the result was that he hit
the dray, smashed the front part of
the vehicle and knocked the horse
down. The horse was not hurt. how
ever, and the driver escaped without
injuries.

Heard met this morning. in the office of the latter, for the purpose of discussing a movement to put the matter before the stock raisers of Ari- zona before filing complaint with tho commission. The basis of the complaint will probably be that Arizona cattle raiscrs are now entering the California market with difficulty and heavy loss because of alleged discrimination of the railroads in favor of other points.

Damaged By Water

Damage estimated at 5000, but which may reach 5000 when more careful inspection is made, was done last night by n rush of water into the basement of the Wakelin grocery store, where fully $l00,000 worth of reserve stock is kept constantly stored, says the Phoenix Democrat. Monday night at about 9 clock F.. s. Wakelin discov- cred that stream of water was pouring into the basement from an irrigating ditch through break in the curb, which had been exposed while cement contractors were building new gut ter for E. E. O'Neill, owner of the property. Manager LaChance. who happened to be at work in the store when the break was discovered, this morning called Mayor Coggins into the basement to see the damage that had been done. LaChanee stated afterwards that it has not yet been decided who an action may be brought against to re- cover for the damage sustained. The responsibility seems to lie between the city, the cement col lctor and O'Neill.

Theater Damaged by Fire.

Fire which started about 3:30 clock Wednesday morning in the building oc. cupied by the Royal theater on Main street, threatened that and adjoining buildings with destruction, says the Bis. bee Review. The department was de- iayed in reaching the scene of the fire because of the torn-up condition of the streets and the fire had made some headway. It is believed that the fire started in the scenery on the stage, probably from an electric wire. The fremen worked hard on the flames after their arrival and in less than thirty minutes had mastered the situation. The interior of the theater was damaged 70 a large extent. The fremen, however, succeeded in confning the flames 10 the theater enclosure.
