DISTRICT COURT GIVES
DECISION In COUNTY
COMMISSIONER CASE
Emile Pauls Unseated and
Oloff Olson Retained

The long-delayed decision OF Judge
Sheafor has been given out at last. 1t
sustains the injunction restraining Emile
Pauls from acting as county commits
sioner and upholding the plea Of Oloff
Olson to act in that capacity.
For the benefit of our many readers
we wish to state that the injunction re-
straining MIR. Pauls from acting as com
missioner after being duly elected by
the people OF Ebert county was issued
on account of the alleged illegality of
his bond. Now, this bond was drawn
up by the American Surety company on
one Of their regular forms; it was duly
signed by them and approved by Judge
Sheafor OF the district court
We are pleased to hear that Mr.. Pauls
has appealed the case and it is now in
the supreme court.
On the strength of Judge Sheafor's
decision Messrs. Brooks and Olson met
as county commissioners in Kiowa yes
terday. The only business transacted
was the making of the list Of jurymen
for the June term of district court. 1t
appears that Mr.. Olson is simply being
used as tool by few Kiowa politicians
that they may attain their desired ends.
All this uncalled for litigation will cost
great deal Of money and we think it just
and fair that Mr.. Olson and his poll tical
friends should foot the bills instead of
saddlinp them on the county.

AMADoR's RELATIVE POSITION.

From statement of the board Of equalization of pro-
pertv valuations i'll the various counties which published
elsewhere in this ISSUE we find that Amador county is
graduy being crowded lower in the list, regards the
value OF its property There only nine counties having
less taxable property than Amador They Alpine Del
Norte FL Dorado Enyo Lake Marposa, Mono Sierra and
Trinity. In recent years Modoc strictly grazing county,
has forged away oa us also Pumas AS boosted by the
state board, Los Angeles heads the list i'll taxable
property being than fifty million dollars ahead of San
Francisco This surprise 1t is true the county
outside of Los Angeles contains perhaps much property
value as the CITY itself while San Francisco represents
thug outside of that municipality. Still has been the
popular idea that the city of the Golden Gate far in
lead that there little probability Of its being reegat
ed to second place i'll the list of counties The state equal
zers turned the trick with per cent increase for
Los Angeles and 10 per cent for San Francisco.

An Inoependent Miller.

When Frederick built his famous

ia br a mil that greatly hampered him

would sell it. The miller replied that
Coz lGn.. series Of years his family
had owned the mill. which had passed
from father 10 son. and that he would
not sell il for any price. The king
used every solicitation. offered to build
aim II mill in better place and pay
