Counsel for Wynkoop & Hallenback of New York, who bid $175,00, and who have had the contract for years, contend- ed that the lowest bidder, Paul Herman of Rutherford, N. J., who bid $135,000, could not do the work for that amount, and that, having no plant, he would have to sublet the contract in contravention of the law. Herman's counsel admitted that he had no plant, but guaranteed to estab- lish an adequate one immediately.

Specla] Dispatch to The Call, | SAN JOSE, June 15.—The train from San Francisco which arrives at the nar- | row gauge depot at 1:30 o'ciock was wrecked this afternoon near the depot by | the engine and tender leaving the track. | The train was slowing down at the time or there might have been a heavy loss of life. | About 100 yards north of the depot there is a curve, and it was there that thé accident happened. There are a num- | ber of switch frogs at that point, and it is believed that the flanges of the wheels of the engine struck the guard rail, caus- ing the engine to jump the track. It bumped along the ties for a short dis- tance and then toppled over, carrying the tenaer with it. The engine turned over on its side and was badly wrecked. The tender also turned over. The baggage car left the track. but did not turn over, and was only slightly damaged. Three passenger cars were attached, but they were not damaged. The passen- gers received a shaking up, but none were injured. The engine was in charge of Erdgineer E. R. Riley of San Francisco and R. R. Rawley of San Francisco was fireman. Rawley was badly cut on the arms and head by splinters from the cab, Engineer Riley jumped througn the upper window as the engine toppled over and escaped injury. | The tracks were blocked for sevcral hours. A wrecking crew at once went to work, and late this afternocn had re- moved the wreckage. ————— Arrested for Robbing Roommate. S8AN JOSE, June 15.—Ernest C.

Prince Becomes Hys- terical When No- tified of His Election ENEVA, June 15.—Prince Peter Karageorgevitch has telegraphed his acceptance of the Servian throne. King Peter also tele- sraphed to the Emperors of Rus- sia and Austria and to the King of Italy announcing his election and adding that he hoped to work for the good of Servia. King Peter received calmly but with evident satisfaction the telegraphic nott fication of his election as King. Subse- quently he became more excited, laughed | hysterically, marched vigorously up and | down the room and finally flung himself into a chair, trembling with excitement. His acceptaiice of the throne is said to be subject to four conditions: First—That the action of the Skupshtina is constitutional and entirely free from bribery or force. Second—That those directly implicated n the assassinations during the revolu- tlon be exlled. Third—That the civil list be increased. Fourth—That an official delegation come to Geneva to confer with him.

SAN DIEGO, June 15.—Word was re- ceived here to-day that the Secretary of the Interior had refused a rehearing in the Buena Vista ranch case, which in- volves the title to some 2200 acres of land around Vista, in this county. There is no appeal possible from this decision and the title is now confirmed in the estate of Cave J. Couts, deceased. About eighteen or twenty settlers who had filed on ths lands and have been living there will now have to get out, leaving thelr improve- ments or else pay the estate its own price for the land and improvements. Years ago the Mexican Government granted the ranch to an Indian for some service rendered the Government. Through the Indian it came into the pos- session of the Couts family. There were two or three survi of the ranch and finally one was approved giving to the estate about 1200 acres of the 3400 it had been claiming. Then it was that the set- tlers came in and “squatted” on the land outside of the survey which hud been ap- proved. 'This land has been highly im- proved by some of the settlers. It has been adjudged to the Couts heirs, under the law which provides that the claimant in the case of a dispute shall have the first right to purchase the land which claimed at $1 % an acre. The Couts heirs under this decision will have a chance to purchase land now worthy many times that amount for that figure. —_—————— PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT RECEIVES VALUED GIFTS Volumes Sent to Him by Italy’s King and French President Are Deliv- ered by Embassadors.
