AUTO SENDS BOULDER THROUGH PLATE GLASS

GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), March 22 - The responsibility for damage done to a plate glass window by a rock that bounded from the street when an automobile passed may be determined in the courts of this city. The Rochdale Grocery company is the loser, and the automobile of Fred SALISBURY caused the rock to be thrown against the glass.

The latter disclaims responsibility and the grocery firm insists that it be recompensed for the damage done. This is not the first instance that this has occurred in this city, but upon the precious occasion the loss was accepted by the owner of the store and nothing was said to the man who drove the automobile.

HIGH SCHOOL FREE TEXTS ARE FAVORED

Literally in a Cloud of Smoke, Harris Bill Is Passed by the Assembly

Legislation providing free text books for the high schools of the state yesterday afternoon went through the assembly in a cloud of smoke. Literally, there was plenty of smoke because the assemblymen voted to suspend the rule forbidding the use of the weed, Speaker YOUNG having betaken himself to Berkeley, leaving Jimmy RYAN in charge. The vote on the bill was 44 to 18.

Young took the train to Berkeley after an acrimonious discussion of the Wishard bill, requiring a health certificate of both persons applying for a marriage license. This bill caused a three hour battle, and was finally left hanging in the balance.

The ballot on the measure resulted in 38 negative votes and 32 affirmative votes. Assemblyman WISHARD, the author, then requested a call of the house, and after it had been ordered, changed his mind, also his vote, so that he could move for a reconsideration. Young waited through this measure to get a vote.

But the tense discussion only presaged the battle on the Harris free text book bill. It had been generally agreed between those fundamentally interested in educational legislation that this bill should go through without any opposition, though some of the educators were in favor of having the free high school text books supplied in a different manner than the bill provided.

WILLIAMS of Inyo, the only former schoolmaster, barring Speaker Young in the Assembly this year, wants the state to print the free text books, but he is willing to see this bill passed without amendment, and told the assembly so. He asserted that his principals could come before the people in the form of the Polsley constitutional amendment, and therefore urged the passage of the HARRIS measure as a step in the right direction.

The books are to be selected by the state board of education in a general way, though high school districts will be able to choose the specific text in each subject from the state institution’s general list. Although BARTLETT of Los Angeles moved for a reconsideration of the measure, there is little indication that yesterday’s results will not stand and the bill will go to the senate for action.

Early in the morning the assembly passed a bill by KYLBERG and WILLIAMS which would exempt form taxation any right to a mining claim less than $100 in value. There were but eight adverse votes.

WHITE SLAVE BILL DROPPED

Assemblyman KNIGHT of Redlands has decided that this interstate white slave bill is unconstitutional , it was announced yesterday, and the measure will not proceed out of public morals committee. It aimed to prohibit the transportation of women for immoral purposes between cities or from city to county within the state.

SUTTER MAN UNSCATHED, ALTHOUGH TWICE HIT

SUTTER CITY (Sutter Co.), February 3 -

That his clothing was torn and he was knocked down by portions of German-fired shells, but that he came through unscathed, is the word that has been sent here to Gene SMITH by his son, Walter E. SMITH, who is now with the American Army of Occupation in Germany.

Young SMITH, who is with a battery of artillerymen, writes:

Will say that when we moved in at Chateau Thierry in July we were given lively reception. The shells started to pour in on us, and it looked as if we were gone, but when we got those ole six-inch howitzers to working they let up on us.

We got out of that battle in very good condition and with very little loss, and moved up on the Vestle River, and gave a little celebration there. From here we moved up to St. Mihiel, on the Verdun front, and met with little resistance. When we moved into position at Nantillois we had a lively reception, but made a very successful drive.

Receiver of Now Defunct Bank of Santa Rosa Is Named as Co-Defendant

SANTA ROSA (Sonoma Co.), February 6 -

Suit for accounting has been filed against J.H. BRUSH and names as co-defendants Receiver Robert D. GARRETT of the defunct Santa Rosa National Bank and all others interested in the closed institution. J.H. GRAY and F.W.

The profits were to be applied to the settlement of the note, and BRUSH was to receive 7 per cent for his money. GRAY and MADDOCKS were to arrange for the subdivision of the property and its sale, for which they were to get a commission on all sales at the rte of 5 per cent, to include all costs, traveling expenses and advertising.

It is alleged that some sales were made, and the claim is made that somewhere between $8,000 and $10,000 is the amount due the two other partners in this transaction.

Owner of Land on Van Sickle Island Bring Big Suits Following Flood.

FAIRFIELD (Solano CO.), February 25 -

Bert R. CHAPLIN has filed suit for damages against Fletcher RAYMOND and John P. RAYMOND in amount of $39,000, alleged to have been suffered by result of poor levees surrounding their lands, thereby allowing a flood to inundate their tract.

The complaint alleges that plaintiff purchased the land known as Van Sickle Island from the defendants and thereafter a reclamation district was formed, with the two defendants as co-trustees. The complaint also alleges that the plaintiffs advised the trustees that the levees should be improved, but no heed was taken to the warning.

As a result, they claim, during February, 1917, a flood broke through the island, destroying feed and grain and prohibiting the planting of crops at that time, all to the damage of $39,000.

A similar suit was brought by Frank N. CHAPLIN and Mittie M. CHAPLIN in amount of $39,000 to cover a portion of the island purchased by them.

WRITES FROM SIBERIA

Soldiers of American Forces Prefer Letters From Home: Supplies Are Plentiful There.

LINCOLN (Placer Co.), February 25

That letters are much more welcome than packages by the boys with the American Expeditionary Force in Siberia, is the declaration of Edward HERYFORD of this city in a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E.B. HERYFORD.

The young soldier is in Siberia, at a town called SPASCOE, which is 100 miles from Vladivostock. Writing on January 22d, he said very little snow had fallen and the ground was frozen, as the thermometer was sticking around 38 degrees below zero.

He writes in part:

The soldiers are warmly dressed and well cared for. The people in the States do not realize what heavy clothing is until they go to the North Pole, or Siberia. We have very heavy underwear and rubber overshoes.

Of course we are always glad to receive packages from home, but enjoy the letters more than anything else, as we have stores here where we can buy most anything we wish to eat.

The Red Cross issued us pajamas, socks, candy, smokes, chewing gum, tooth paste and cigar lighters.

We had the influenza pay a visit, but we didn’t know what it was until the war was over.

Every day is market day excepting Sunday. They bring wild hogs, black bear and all kinds of skins, also the largest deers I ever saw.

They use oxen and small horses for farming. The women drive the teams.

I am feeling fine, fat and hearty, and feel we will soon be coming home.

OAKLAND - February 25 -

A woman’s shrewdness, the credulity of two men and a mythical fortune entangled with “The Lucky Girl Group” of mines at Elko, Nev., all figure in the background of a felony warrant issued for the arrest of Miss Florence W. BLISS, mining promoter.

According to LANSDALE’s story to the authorities, Miss BLISS in November, 1917, employed him as manager of the mine at . . salary of $125, his wife as bookkeeper at $58 a month, and Virgil LANSDALE, a son, as assay assistant at $125 a month. LANSDALE says he shipped his furniture to Nevada, but received nothing for his services. He declared that when he employed an attorney, the woman left town.

Added to LANSDALE’s complaint is that of D.W. CHAMBERS, a mining man, who declares Miss BLISS hired him at $200 a month to act as superintendent of the mine, but paid him only $10.
