Davis taking the ground that it could not be ascertained what was tho office and duties of the plaintiff as a teacher of the High School and principal ot all the public schools at the same time, or under what statute or law the High School was established that the Courthouse School District was established by the Legislature as a "common school district." in other woras, Had the Santa Rosa High School a legal ex istence? i Mr. Geary in bis answer to this said that by a special act of the Legislature Court house School District had been made a legislative body by with laws for its government and its powers defined. It bad established a High School, which was within its powers, and could elect a principal of the High School, who could also be principal of all the schools within the district, it could raise money for its maintenance and expend it. and the only power the County Superintendent could have over money be longing to the district applied to the amount received by the district from the State. The County Superintendent, so far as the Santa Rosa schools are concerned, is simply a "creation for recording purposes," and can not question the validity of the action of tha trustees in fixing salaries or ordering them paid.

-An exciting scene was witnessed on Santa Fe wharf this morning when three ladies disembarked from the steamer Pacheco, Just arrived from Ensenada. One of the women kept apart and as soon as the steamer landed called upon an officer on the wharf tor protection, saying the other women werq trying to follow and kill her. She said she knew of no reason why they were following her. The officer talked with the other women and secured an interesting story. The older lady gave her name as Senora Jesus de Miramontes, and said the younger lady was her daughter, Rosa.

She declared, she had no sinister intentions against the other woman and explained why she was following her. Luis Rodriguez had courted Rosa Miramontes, who Is only sixteen years old, and had obtained her promise to marry him. They went before the civil Judge at Ensenada and had the banns announced. Then Rodriguez fled to San Diego last Sunday morning. The strange woman was said to be Ro driguez's mistress and Mrs.

Miramontes said she had reason to believe the woman was on her way to Join him. She was there fore following her, with the hope of finding Rodriguez. Then a dangerous glitter came into the old lady's eye and she ended her sentence with a gesture that suggested trouble. While she was telling her story the strange woman took a hack and left the wharf, and Mrs. Miramontes and daughter hastily took an other and followed her.

The old lady said she would follow her to the ends of the earth. The woman went direct to the northbound train and purchased a ticket for Los Angeles. Mrs. Miramontes and her daughter did the same, and the last seen of the party was when Mrs. Miramontes boarded the car occupied by the strange woman.

She is the widow of Pedro Miramontes, late Chief of Police of Ensenada, and her daughter, Rosa, a pretty, innocent girl. Rodriguez is a worthless gambler. END MUST SOON COME. Lieutenant Governor Millard Scarcely Live a Day. Last Night It Was Thought He Dying, but Ha Rallied to Some Extent.

The conducted' by Senator Stephen M. White, now has its inning, and it Is" making it hot for Judge Redman of Los" Angeles, who was Governor Downey's ccunselor, and whose testimony was relied on by (he prosecution to prove that Downey made a will fn favor of his second wife, ton veying the Warner ranch.

Peter D. Martin, son ot one of the defend ants, testified that he once went to see Judge pedman at the latter's request, rela tive to the deed to the Warner ranch which Governor Downey is alleged to have executed, and that he on that occasion Saw correspondence and was told enough by Redman to convince him that Redman was a rascal. Judge George Puterbaugh testified that on the occasion of a trial over which he presided Governor Downey seemed idiotic. Daniel Cunningham, who was Downey's confidential man, among other things said that he and Governor Downey went to the latter's office in the Downey Block in Los Angeles one day. and soon afterwards Judge Redman came in with a nower of attorney and the deed to the Warner's ranch, both of which bore the Governor's alleged signature, and without a word handed them to Downey.

The Governor exhibited great rage wnen he looked oyer the documents. declaring that they were never executed by Ivm. He handed the power of attorney to Cunningham, who after inspecting it, held the document up to Judge Redman and asked: "Is that the Governor's signature?" Cunningham said that Redman looked sheepish and trembled, and soon afterward turned and left the office, not having said a word. Then, at Downey request, Cun ningham tore up the deed and threw it in the wastebasket, whence it was subsequently fished out and patched up and made the basis ot the present suit. Another witness testified that Governor Downey signed the deed, but was drunk when he did so.

Eleanor Martin, all of San Francisco, going over much of the ground already covered by previous testimony.

That Vinton Is trying in every way pos sible to accomplish this threat is evident. Ves.

SACRAMENTO, October 23. J. J. Callen. dine, who killed Jack Harris, had his pre' llminary examination to-day, and was discharged on the ground that he shot in self-defense.

Mrs. Harris testified, that she met Callendine on the night ot the shooting on street, near Thirteenth. They walked a few blocks together. "I heard some one coming behind us. I looked around," said she, "and saw it was my husband.

He bad his pistol In his hand, and I ran into the alley. He called out, "Jack shot two or three times at me and two or three times at Callendine. We were only two or three feet apart. Callendine said 'Stop, Jack, don't shoot. I did not see Callendine pull bis pistol or shoot.

Callen dine and my husband had always been tbe best ot friends. They never bad any trouble before that On cross-examination she said they had been dickering about a ranch which Callendine owned in El Dorado county. Callendine was on the way to her house to see Jack about the ranch. She dodged behind a post when her husband shot at her. He bad often told ber that if he ever caught her walking on the streets with another man he would kill her.

When she saw him coming with his pistol in his hand she thought he was going to carry bis threat into execution. Officer George Maley repeated what Har ris told him as a dying statement. Harris claimed then that Callendine fired the first three shots. General Hart asked that tbe case be dismissed: The City Attorney said It looked like a case of self-defense, so be would not oppose the motion. The Court ordered the defendant NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

He says there are. no new develop ments in the matter. The Governor has appointed Colonel John T. Harrington of Colusa, who Is a member of his staff, a Director for the House tor the Feeble-Minded. Governor Budd to-day again expressed himself in very emphatic terms withfref-erence to the practice of sending youngsters to tbe reform schools at Whittier and lone in wholesale lots.

"Why, it is outrageous," he declared, "that boys ot nine or ten years, who have committed some little misdemeanor, should be sent to the reform schools, there to associate with young criminals of seventeen or eighteen, who have been sent there for committing serious crimes. There are eleven graduates from Whittier at the Fol-ecm State Prison. They had left the reform school only to enter the penitentiary. Now, the' presence of these young criminals in a reformatory could not have had other than an ill effect on the little boys of ten or eleven who had been sent there for some minor offense. The atmosphere of the place must be bad.

It cannot be otherwise. Yes, it is true that there are too many cases where parents avail themselves of the reform schools to get rid of a troublesome or un ruly child. In many cases a good parental spanking would satisfy the ends of Justice a good deal better than shipping the boy off to a reform school, there to be the companion of boys old in actual crime until he reached the age of twenty-one. Boys scarcely ten years of age have been sent to the reform school for vagrancy. Now Just contemplate the spectacle of a vagrant tea years old!" The.

Governor stated that he was not Investigating Warden Hale, as he had not been advised ot any charge against him. The Governor appointed J. B. Reinstein of San Francisco a regent of the State University and William Johnston of Courtland a delegate to the Transmisslssippi Con-. gress.
