BEMCEEN The Country Club preserves, famous in | California as the hunting rendezvous of | a score of well-known and affluent local | | clubmen, will soon be deprived of 18,000 | | acres unless the club itself comes to the | front and bids a higher figure than that | offered by General John Dickinson and | Johp K. Orr. The land in question belongs | to the O. L. Shafter estate, In Marin | | and constitutes the northern and | rn boundaries of the Country | Club's preserves. The figure that Dickin- son and Orr have offered is more than the | Country Club desires 1o pay for the lease of this land, and the members have du-{l termined to let it pass out of their con- tro | ke tenss ion thess twp sectipns: ofiikna running from bay to ocean and hemming | the preserves of the Country Club ex- pires in the middle of next gnonth. It was not imagined for a moment by the present | | holders of the i that ‘any outside | party was desirous of renting this land | For hunting and fishing purposes. Great | was thetr surprise when it was discovered | that Dickinson and Orr had put in their | bid, which far exceeded the offer of the Country Club. he highest bid was $650 annual rental and a guarantee to patrol both sections of land. All t this aggre- gates an expense of $1800 a y a4 prepos- terous figure ¢ the Country Club men and far in excess of possible valuable re- turns. For this reason the Country Club has decided not to ralse the bid and let it g0 to the latest bidders. By obtaining the opiion of these sections of land General Dickinson and Mr. Orr deprive the Country Club of its three lakes, Trout, Bass and Crescent, which lie in the southern strip of the Shafter acre- | afe- | The clubmen say they do not want | the lakes, as all the fish obtainable in them are grassy and of such poor flavor | as to make them unpalatable and ob- noxious even to'the tyro trout-eater. In fact, they smile at General Dickinson and | his new venture in the acquisition of a happy hunting and fishing ground. The | sections on which he has bid are separ- | ated by fifteen miles of the choicest acre- age in the Country Club’s preserves. | What will he do with them? i€ the ques- | tion asked by all the clubmen, who leave | on Saturday night to hunt the'spiked and the 20,000 orked _deer roaming about cres left to the Country Club. —_— | Puttman Must Hang.

Sec- retary McKibben has notitied the grand marshal that the members will turn out in red shirts, black trousers, black belt | and blue caps. They will draw one of the | old-time engines, probably “Old '49,” the first engine used In San Francisco, and | will act as escort to the Exempt Firemen of_San Francisco.

E. Corbett and others. The hearing was postponed one week. Attorney Joseph F. Coffey appeared for the officers of the Police Department and | stated that, while he was not ready to | proceed with the hearing, he would as- | sure the court that the order was not be- ing violated. Afterward Chief Sullivan, in explanation of what the attorney had | said, stated that he had not issued orders | to his officers to pay no attention to the | order of the court, as had been stated. | The order is directed against officers re- | maining in the pool rooms and waiting for a crime to be committed. The Chief claimed that his officers had the rights of other citizens to go.in and out of the pool- rooms. His orders to them were to go in and out, but not to stand around, he said. However. as there were two men sta- tioned at each poolselling place, they so contrived that when one officer stepped out the other entered the place. Judge Murasky took the case up first at 5 o’clock in the afternoon. Chief Sulli- van and Captain Seymour were then pres- ent with District Attorney Byington and Attorney Coffey. The affidavits of H. E. Corbett, Henry Schwartz, Zick Abrams and D. J. Crowley, poolsellers, were read. These documents recited the order pro- hibiting the {)ullce entering the poolrooms, and, “on July 15, the two defendants act- ing together did willfully and deliberately and in open and contemptuous disobedi- ence of the restraining order of the court, enter into and occupy without the con- sent, and against the express protest of eackl of said plaintiffs, the premises de- scribed and interfered with their quiet and peaceable possession. That the de- fendants maintained two police officers in each of sald premises against the objec- tion of the plaintiffs.” Attorney Coffey read the affidavits of Chief Sulllvan and Captain - Seymour, which contained specific denlals of the af- fidavits sworn to by the poolroom people, vpon which the order to show cause was ba Coffey outlined the defense by questioning the courc's Jurisdietion asd saying that even if it had jurisdiction the ! point to be decided was whether the in- structions issued by the Chief of Police came within the exceptions of the preiim- inary injunction. The affidavits stated that the poolroom men had been arrested for violation of the two ordinances ralod b{ the Board of Supervisors which prohibit the selling of | Murasky on men; that signs ily displayed in the premis by Corbett and other pe that they were eng »f pool selling: rs were that if es were not used as private | and if the police witnessed any f the said ordinances they were | the prem premise violatio to arrest those who violated the law. The instructions had been carried out on the belief that the ordinance had been vio- ated. .
