The Berkeley Consolidated Has Long Been in the City’s Deb! but Has Not Paid. OAKLAND OFFICE § Fraxcsco Cavy,) 908 Broadway, May 19. | The time has now arrived when the bonuses 1o the city government, due from some of the owners of street railroad fran- chises, have to be paid, and considerable difficulty is anticipated in straightening the matter out. When the franchises were granted five years ag re was a clause in each fran- chise ordering that the company pay to the City Treasurer oue-quarter of one per centof the gross receipis of the road at the end of five years. Little attention was paid to this matter at the time and | the terms of the payment werc l:ft ina | very.ambiguous condition. At subsequent intervals the same roads acquired other franchises for other sections of roads, and | now it is a matter of great ditfculty tode- | cide which part of the original road for which a franchise was granted five years ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS.

Treasurer Morgan to-day received a little wooden box from Texas containing a wad of what appeared to be fragments of United States bills. Later in the daya letter from J. B'ackingame of a small town near Galveston, Tex., arrived at the Treasury Department which explained the contents ot the box. The wad of green paper is all that is left of $210 owned by Mr. Blacingame, which he rescued from the stomach of a yearling calf. It seems that the Texan recently sold a herd of cattle, for which he received $470 in bills, as follows: Ons $100, one $50 and sixteen $20 bills. He placed the money in un ordinary memorandum rockethook, Lut the bills were in such a position that the ends stuck Leyond the edge of ¢ book. Blackinzame carelessly threw his coat on the ground In a cow lot und & yearling coming along saw the rreen biils and proceeded to devi-ur them. ‘I'ne antmal took in the entire bunch at one mounthfal and w covered in the act of chewing Blacingame’'s $470. The Texan, with the assiatance of his brother, succeeded in recovering from the mouth of the caif tuirteen of the $20 bills ina comparatively uninjured condition. This money was aiterward passed off by Blac- ingame in payment for some caitle. The calf was shortly killed and from its stomach was taken a mass of chewed bills, stained and discolored. The fragments were boxed up and sent tothe redemotion division of the Treasury Department. Blucingame prepared a sworn statement of the disappearance of his money and forwarded it to Treasurer Morgan. The Iatter ha the c: examined and found the facts to be as stated.

Several M mb:rs Are Anxicus to Command the Ccmpany Shou d Ccbbledick Dacline. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FrANcIsco CALL, 908 Broad wuy, May 19. } Now that Company ¥, Fifth Infantry, N. G. C., bas fairly setilea in its new quarters in the Hook building the talk of who shall be captain has been resumed. About one month ago Captain George H. Wethern of Company F was promoted to aid-de-camp with rank of major on Major-General James’ staff, but owing to the fact that it pas not appeared in official orders no action can be taken to elect his successor. Captain Wethern is an old member of the National Guard, having been a mem- ber when Company F was a cavalry troop. He has worked his way up from one posi- tion to another until before his promotion he ranked with the ablest captains in the guard. He was perfectly at home when he commanded the battalion, and his promotion is nota surprise to those who know him. With his men in the company he is known as a perfect tactician and a wise tinancier, always popular with his large company. The men regret losing him, but are proud to see him honored. Atlast Monday evening's meeting the members discusset the coming election and the possible candidates for the cap- taincy. First—Lieutenant W. H. Cobbledick, who isan old member of the guard, has been offered the position and would be the unanimous choice of the company, but it is ramored that Cobbiedick does not want the positiony in fact he says he has not the time to devote to it. Second—Lieatenant L. E. Wenk may, in case Lieutenant Cobbledick finally de- clines, be elected captain. The members offered Major John F. Hayes, their former captain, the place, but this was out of the question. Major Hayes thanked the members and de- clined. To fill the vacancy which will be caused by the promotion of either Lieuienant enk or Lieutenant Cobbledick some member will have to be chosen from the enlisted men in the ranks. There are three men in the race, but the best of feeling prevails. The three are Quartermaster Sergeant C. C. Covalt, First Sergeant Scott and Second Sergeant J. Higtermeyer. It is quite certain that Sergeant Scott will be the choice of the company, as he is next in line of promotion. However, Sergeants lCaun and Hintermeyer have quite a fol- owing. L'm'l:lcnlnl Cobbledick isin command of the company, and orders calling an election are expected any day now. Sanford’s Doubtful Commissions. OAKLAND, Car, May 19.— County Treasurer Sanford is anxious to collect some large commissions from the inheri- tance tax. But before he can do so he must prepare for a legal struggle. Attor- ney-General Fiizgerald has declined to give an opinion in the matterand declares that the case must be docided in the court. There is a conflict witl: the county government act and the act of 1893 rela- tive to the inheritance tax, and the Dis- trict Attorney is of the opinion tuat the Treasurer cannot legally retain his com- missions.

Some stories of the late George D, Pren- tice, the famous Kentucky journalist, which have recently been collected, show bim to have been a brave man. Though he was fully conscious that;in Kentucky, as he found it when he first went there, it must be necessary to ‘‘show fight,” he was yet far from bzing a duelist. Prentice’s errand, when, as a green young Yankee, he went to Kentucky in 1830, was to write the life of Henry Clay. He did the work largely at a place called Olympian Springs and was fond of writ- ing out in the shade of a htige chestnut tree in the woods. Usually when thus engaged he kepta shotgun with him,as occasionally tempting gams came his way and he had the uni- versal American hunting instinct. One t with pencil and paper in hand, his against the chestnut tree and the shotgun leaning against the other side of the tree. His thoughts was lost in his work. i But just then a very ugly looking back- woodsman came up and confronted him. The man wore a buckskin jacket and a coonskin cap, and he carried a long-bar- reled rifle of the old backwoods type. Evidently he wasone of Clay’s political enemies, for he said, menacingly : “Air you the chap that’s writin’ Henry v's lie?” Yes,"” said Prentice. *Wal, you guit that and write my life, and do it monst’ous quick, too.” As quick as a flaxh Prentice reached around the tree, seized his shotzun and had it leveled on'the backwoodsman. “I won't write your life,” smid he, “but T'li take it if you don’t leave here!” Then the fellow declared that he was joking, but “allowed” that the good-look- ing, young Yankee was game, and de- parted in good order. After he had begun to edit a Louisville paper, Prentice was once challenged to a duel. He responded to the invitation thus *It takes only one fool to send a chal- lengs, but it takes two to fight, and I beg to_be omitted from the category.’” He was once assaulted in the street at Louisville by another Kentucky editor with & pistol, and when, by the aid of his knife, he successfully defended himself and overpowered the man, forcing him to drop the pistol. thecrowd called upon him to inflict an injury with the knife on his assailant. *How could I harm an unarmed man ?’’ Prentice asked the crowd; and ! e was ap- plauded as he suffered his assailant, whom he had himself disarmed, to arise, It is needless to say that a man of such physical and moral courage was permitted to die a natural death.—Youth's Com- panion.
