The case was bitterly fought between Attorney A. A. Moore, representing the railroad company, and Attorney Leszin- sky of San Francisco, representing the plaintitt. “During the' closing_argument Mr. Moore made some bitter personal re- marks regarding opposing counsel, which Mr. Leszinsky at once branded as lles, and the court reprimanded Mr. Moore. The case will probably be tried again. Leszinsky offered to submit the case on new trial to Judge Greene on the evi- dence_before the jury and take his deci- sfon, but Mr. Moore said he would have to consider that pronosition. | —_——————— LEFT ALL TO HIS DAUGHTER.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, June 11 Efforts are being made by the Oakland Board of Trade to have a sham battle | in this city on the Fourth of July. During the past week public sentiment has been canvassed, and there is a decided desire to have a proper celebration of the na- tional holiday.

Mayor Thomas favors the idea, and is opinion that ther should be a big celebration of some kind. “If ever there was a time,” sald the Mayor to-day, “when the Fourth of July should be fittingly observed, it is surel now. To my mind, the Fourth succeed- cident at Appomattox Court- not more worthy of celebra- tion than the coming national birthday.

I be- lieve that if there should be any falling off in the observance of this Fourth ot July European nations would con- strue it as indicating a lack of unanimity regarding the present war, There is enough patriotism in Oakland to turn the whole county upside down, and it shoula be given a chance to explode itself. I feel like letting off firecrackers all day lonF myself.” And as nearly all Oakland feels the same way, there is no doubt but there will be a noisy time on the Fourth. —_—— Special Train for Los Angeles. OAKLAND, June 11.—The arrangements were completed to-day for a special train to carry the Christian Endeavorers to their coming State convention in Los An- fieles. which will be in session from June to 26, inclusive.

ALAMEDA, June 11.—Dona'd G.. Cohen, for himself and as assignee of the other Cohen heirs, has sued the city of Ala- meda for $15%, the alleged value of 318 cords of wood, and $600 for compensation | to himself in looking after the same wood. Eight or nine years ago it was discov- ered that the eucalyptus trees which were | then plentiful in this city were becoming | a great nuisance, and the Trustees, in response to public demand, passed an or- | dinance that whenever the majority of | | property owners on any street along which such trees were planted pe#itioned to have them removed it should be done. About a year ago the Trustees, under this ordinance, directed the removal of some trees on Lincoln avenue and Pearl street, | bordering on the Cohen property.

The fit of The Burial of Williams. ALAMEDA, June 11.—The story that there was anything mysterious about the burfal of Hugh Webster Willlams, who was killed by the Gregorys, is laughed at by Deputy Coroner Fowler, who had charge of it. The fact is that an em- ploye of the Washburn-Moen Company of San Francisco, where deceased worked, came over here and ordered a $65 funeral, including $15 for a cemetery | lot, and paid the money for it.
