T THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 26, 1896. 11 TIBURON ANGRY AT SAUSALITD, The Result of a Saturday Night Tug-of-War Match. LEGAL TANGLE IN SIGHT The Fat Gate Receipts Were Not Turned Over to the Victors. WHAT WAS THE AGREEMENT? The Married Men of Tiburon Will Pull Against the Single Men for a Stake. The unmarried men of Tiburon are just spoiling for some kind of a fight with the single men of Sausalito—a legal battle for preference, and are only held back by the lack of a proper method of beginning the fray. om the foregoing it mizht be imagined that the proverbial “woman at the bottom of it” had got in her deadly work again, but such is not the case. In fact a tug-of-war, common, every-day exhibition of brawn and endurance, is at the bottom of the row that threatens to as- sume serious proportions for a suburban quarrel. There has always been a nivalry between the single men of Tiburon and Sausalito, who are mostly young business men of San ¥rancisco, as to their respective athletic abilities, and bantering on the subject while waiting at the ferry for their boats led to a tug-of-war match between representative teams. The pick of the suburban athletes went into training for the event, which was for §10 a side and two-thirds of the gate receipts, the other third being set aside to pay the expenses of the exhibition. This was Tiburon's idea of the agreement, though subsequent development showed that there was a misunderstanding. Sausalito was chosen as the battle- round and lest Saturday night saw the argest hall in that quiet burg crowded with the admirers of the teams, every man ready to yell himself hoarse if his favorite gained an inch. After a terrific struggle Tiburon won the pull amid the cheers of its partisans, who kept the town in an uproar for hours after the match was decided. The stake was paid to Tiburon, but when it came to the gate receipts the trouble began. Sausalito refused to pay over any of the receipts, claiming that there had been no agreement that the two-thirds of the gate, that amounted to about $150, should go to the winner, but that the match was for the $10 ana the glory of winning. Tiburon did not care so much for the money, but %t did care for being *‘ptayed for a sucker,” as one of its champions remarked, and now there is no cordiality between the young men of business when they meet at the ferry, the ‘“glassy eye”’ and the “clammy hand’’ beiug far more in ev- idence. Tiburon numbers among its young men anumber of rising attorneys, and these legal lights are trying to figure out whether to sue the town of Sausalito or the members of the opposing team indi- vidually in civil suits, or whether to get out warrants on criminal charges. Tiburon feels very, very sore, and is de- termined on revenge, and developments are looked for in the near future. In the meantime, however, the Tiburon admirers of athletics have determined not to let the tug-of-war epidemic that bas struck the town die out because of the un- pleasantness or for want of encourage- The joking of the married men regarding the failure of the single men to get any of the gate receipts of the last match has led to another match ail in ment. Tiburon. Jerry 0'Connell has put up $50 for the unmarried men, while Joseph Esasser has performed a like office for the benedicts. The mateh is to take place in Tiburon on Saturday night next, and is expected to eclipse in interest anything that has taken place there for years. X PLRPER 1S SUBDLE The Auditor Denies His Right to Run the Election Commission. Inspectors and Judges Appointed in the Thirty-Fourth and Thirty- Ninth Districts. Max Popper, the Junta representative, stirred the Election Commissioners up yesterday by objecting to the manner in which their business was handled, but he was speedily subdned by Auditor Brod- erick, who informed him tartly that he was no running the meeting and that if he did not like the way the meeting was con- ducted his presence could be dispensed with.

OPENING A OLD MINE Local Capital Interested in a New Quartz Mill at Moores Flat. Nevads City Trying to Effect a Com- promise and Control Its Water Works. Judge J. M. Walling of Nevada City arrived here Friday, and bad judgment entered against the private water company that has been supplying his town with water for twenty years. The town decided some time ago to con- trol its own water supply, and accordingly voted $60,000 in bonds. The water com- pany, the sole proprietor of which isa Mrs. Huntington of New York City, brought suit against the town to enjoin it from selling the bonds. .That injunction has been defeated. Judge Walling, who is attorney for Nevada City, is now mak- ing advances looking to a compromise with the water company, the idea being to determine upon a price for the old water works that shall be agreeable to both par- ties. The water company values its plant at $25,000. As soon as the litigation is ended the sale of bonds will commence. An old mine taken in hand this month by San Francisco capital is now being prepared for active operations. It isthe old Metropolitan quartz mine at Moores Flat, tweniy miles from Nevada City. P. I. Fisher, Professor Davidson and Marcus L. Davis, all of this City, are the pro- moters of the new enterprise. They have twenty men at work now, but a good many more will be employed as soon as the machinery shall have®arrived. One of the new Merrill quartzmills, the first of its kind in that country, is to be set up. The mine has 2000 feet of tunnelsin it already, and it is estimated that there are 25,000 tons of rock in sight. Itisgener- ally a low-grade ore, running about $5 to the ton, though a little of it promises as high as $20. CHINATOWN’S FRIGHT. Report That Fresno Hatchetmen Are on Their Way to This City With- out Foundation. Many wild and alarming stories were circulated in Chinatown day before y: terday regarding a purported shipment of a powerful gang of highbinders from Fresno bound for this City with the object in view of exterminating the Lee Yup Bociety. Lee Yip Dock was mentioned as being the leader of the Fresno hatchetmen and also being the president of the Bo Leong Tong, the most notorious and powerful highbinder organization in the State. He was also accredited with being responsible for_the death of Lee 14, wnho was murdered in Waverly place a few days ago. These statements have proven to be without foundation. Lee Me Ti and Joe Gar, the two Chinese merchants who first placed the blame of Lee Ti's murder at the door of Lee Yip Dock, and incidentally the Kong Chow Association, are both members of the Bo Leonf Tong. Lee Yip Dock is not 8 mem- ber of that organization, and consequently would have but little influence with its members. Sergeant Cook and squad came across a room in_ Clinton street Wednesday even- ing which bad evidently been occupied by highbinders. He found a few biankets and two murderous-looking revolyers, which were immediately appropriated and sent to police headquarters. The vpolice, aithough keeping a watch- ful eye on the bighbinders, do not antici- pate further trouble, and in all probability the murder of Lee Tiis the Jast thav wiil startle Chinatown for several months to come. - ———— The Divorce Court. A complaint in divorce was filed on Friday by Margaret A. Judge against Timothy F. Judge. The latter is & member of the drm of Horn & Judge, wholesale butchers. The wife claims s community interestin a large amount of property which stands in Judge's name.

Difficulties of a Weekday Tar- get Practice for the Companies. LIEUTENANT TOBIN’S BIG SCORE Unsatisfactory Changes in Regard to the Points—No More Score Averages. It was a thin blue line of the First In- fantry Regiment of the Second Brigade, N. G. C., that mustered for target practice at Shell Mound shooting range Friday and Saturasy. Out of twelve companies not more than 25 per cent of the officers and men reported for practice, and of some of the companies not more than 8 and 10 per cent appeared at the shooting-stands. The recent order of the Governor mak- ing a weekday the time for the shooting is considered by the mren of the guard asa bardship, as it is with difficulty they can absent themselves from their various oc- cupations for that purpose. *‘We are not desirous of using our Sun- days at target practice,’’ said an officer yesterday, *‘but the men can't get away from their work. The consequences that only a few show up and what a: going to do about it? Of course the com- pany officers hate to have such poor re- ports go in to the adjutant general and the result is that they wiil try to have their men shoot in twos or threes or squads whenever they can get them to the butts. “‘Another drawback is thechange regard- g the points. Heretofore a man b attending the two shoots could, if he fell down in the first, still have achance in the second to bring up his average and win his medal on bars. Bu: now, when he loses at the first target practice, that settles him for the yvear. So there is no inducement for him to leave his work to shoot at the next meeting. I tell you; the September target practice will be slimly attended, and nobody can blame the men. “I lost myself on this shoot and I'll not be here again. We want Governor Budd and the adjutant-general of the State to understand all this. The young men in the militia have something else to do ex- cept wear their uniforms. Their em- ployers have something to say about ab- sences from the store, office or shos.” The shooting Friday and yesterday was done under the direction of Lieutenant Louis Berrere, inspector of nfle practice and in the presence of Lieutenant-Colonel Victor D. Dubois, Majors Charles Boxton, Charles Tilden and Hugh Sime. The following is the companies’ scores, distance 200 yards, possible fifty points.

Tne dam will hold about 8,000,000 lons. 1 1t will be situated in a canyon on the hills above the home and about half a mile distant from the buildings. The ele- vation affords a considerable fall, which will give great pressure to the water and thus assure very efficient protection against fire. “The water supply, it has been estimated, will ample to irrigate the grounds, furnish water for all purposes to the insti- tution and maintain an abundant reserve for use in case of fire.

Higgins and W. Llewellyn, plain- tiffs and respondents, against the city of San Diego, Gilbert Rennie as Auditor and Nat Kennedy as Treasurer of said city of San Diego, the San Diego Water Com- pany, the San Diego Flume Company, Bryant Howard, Charles S. Hamilton, A. E. Horton and M. T. Gilmore endants, the San Diego Water Company appellant. Such is the title of an Agpnl case in which the Supreme Court handed down a decision yesterday, reversing the judg- ment of the lower tribunal. The appeal represents another phase of the varied litigation which has grown out of the con- tract between the San Diego Flume Com- any and the San Diego Water Company. he flume company has been bringing the water to the city limits, where the water company has been distributing it throngh its pipes, being sole agent of the flume company. On the first of June, 1891, the water com- Slny turned its plant over to the city of an Diego under a contract which was in form a lease from the water company to Bryant Howard and four others and a sub-lease by them to the city, Howard and the others were expressly exetpt from liability of any nature and the lease to them was to be void unless the sub-lease to the city were made. The lease, sub- lease and contract with the city were therefore pncnulli one transaction, In September, 1892, the plaintiffs, Higgins and Llewellyn, taxpayers of San Diego, commenced an action for the annulment of the lease and sub-lease and for an in- junction against tue Treasurer and Audi- tor of San Diego prohibiting them from allowing and paying any claims arising out of the transaction. After the hearing of much evidence pro and contra, the Superior Court decided that the contract was invalid, citing section 18, article XI of the constitution and section 11, article 1I, chapter II, of the charter of San Diego. As a matter of fact, the terms of the sub-lease whereby the city was to pay a monthly rental for the water works of $9166 65 were drawn up for t purpose of using the amount thus secured in ti.e con- struction of a raiway. The Superior Court held the contract void because the city was led into subsidizing a railway un- der the guise of paying rent, and because the Mayor had not sufficient authority to execute the contract on the part of the city. The Supreme Court sustained the view that the express contract to pay $9166 65 a month was invalid for the reasons stated, but there was no reason why the city should not pay a reasonable rental for the water works. Hence, the judgment was reversed and the cause remanded to the Superior Court with instructions to enter judgment in favor of the water company Ior the value to the city of the use or‘ e company’s plant during the time it was actually retained bj' the citsé ‘L'he decision is signed by Chief Justice Beatty and con- curred in by Justices McFariand, Hen- shaw and Temple, Justice Harrison dis- senting.
