NEVADA CITY, CALIFORMIA.: Fools Rush In.
Some of the newspapers on the
Coast laber under the impression, or
at least profess they do, that Superior Judge Caldwell of this county

earn
“The Sacramento Bee is just now
engaged in attempting to show that
Judge Caldwell was guilty of *‘judicial charlatanism” in temporarily enjoining E. O. Tompkins, Sheriff of
this county, from trespassing upon
the property of the hydranlic miners
to the extent of shutting off their
water supply. The facts of the transaction when briefly stated are as fol—
)
—hadissued ‘a restraining order forbid-ding.certain hydraulic miaes in this
county from continuing their operations.'"The latter went before the
Supreme Court and by an exparte
showing obtained an order from that
‘.tribanal “prohibiting. Keyser from
taking farther action in the matter
till he could show that he was not
disqiaiified as had been alleged. He,
instead of straightway justifying
himself or attempting to do so, pre—viiled upon Judge Mayhew of still
another county to take up the proceedings where he hadbeen compelled to drop them, and to issue an
* order directing Mr, Tompkins to
set himself up in opposition to* the
Superior Court of Yuba county when
he issued an order restraining Sheriff
Tompkins from further interference
with the enjoined hydraulic mines
tfil he (the Sheriff] can show that he
is acting under due and legal authority. As we prove in anotier article,
Judge Caldwell has no official knowledye that Mr. Tompkins shut off the
water in conformity with an—order
from Keyser’s proxy, Judge Mayhew: The hydraulic compauies in
asking for the restraining order simply com lained that ane E. O. Tompking had unlawfully scipienedd upon
their claims and threatened to so
cies. If Obadiah Hayseed of Marysville should go before J: adge Keyser and swear that John Smith had
come upon his (Hayseed's) ranch and
with the progress of work, would’
Keyser be fool enough to refuse to
trespass again in ce tain emergen. ,

An Interesting Theory of its Formation. 2
The following is the conclusion of
the article on the above subject which
. was begun in this paper yesterday:
There is also reason to believe

part of this period one of those

bank into the stream, and we find
thata great portion of this slide—
tiles in a bedy, without being wasned-or rounded by the action of the
water. Itake thie as evidence of
was there unlawfully interfering . glacial action.
Some time after thie great slide
the.glacial marks disappear, and the
serve certain papers upon the min-. not seen any record going to show jing from side-to side in the vaileys,
era and also to cut off their water.
The order was astrietly obeyed,
whereupon the hydraulic mining
companies began suits here to recover damages from Tompkins for trespass, and.acked that he be temporarily prevented from further interfereuce with their property. ©There
being mothing on record in their complaints or elaewhere before this court
to show that there were any previous
lagal proceedings to warrant the
trespass, it became Judge Caldwell’s
bounden duty-toissue the order as
prayed for, bonds having been properly filed by thethen complainants,
It now remains for Mr. Tompkins,
who is eued as a private citizen and
not a8.a Sheriff, to show if possible
that he was acting under due authority when he interfered with the
private property of the miners,
Judge Caldwell has dorie no more’
nor no less than any other upright
\d conscientious and intelligent
judge in the State would have done,
and there are plenty of precedents to
sustain him, The thing which really hurts the Bee is that the matter
of sti:kens has now come up for dis-_
cussion outside a court that uwes its
creation to an anti-debris constituency. Its indirectly expressed
“statement that Judge Caldwell: is
actuated by corrupt motives and its
hope that he will be;impeached shows
how very, very mad-that paper is at
the thought of the,manner in which
the hydraulie Jawyers “left” their
e ponents op he above auspicious
occasion.

Let Rqaity Prevail.
Speaking of the. debris litigation,
the Post wisely admonishes both .
mineraand farmers tuat without a
compromise ‘is decided upon the
lawyers are the only persous inter: ested who will reap any advanteges.
As that paper says; It is admitted
tliat thefarming. lands aléug the
banks of the rivers,*the headwaters
of which receive the debris of hydraulic mines, are liable to overflow
and be rendered valueless for agricultural purposes; itis further admitted that to step hydraulic mining would cripple an industry second
ouly to that of . agriculture, and,
therefore, any fair compromise which
-would admit of continued mining
without serious lossto the farmiag
iuterests, isin the Jine of a public
necessity. The whole commonwealth is interested in the solution,
and for this reason it should be the
subject of intelligent concessions
one to the other. Just. what the
terms of the compromise should be
we are not prepared to state, but we
are satisfied that a dozen representative mea oaeach side, having full
authority to act, coul:l arrive at a
couclusion which wogld be mutually
satisfactory, In all compromises of
thia kind tuere myst be mutual concession. The loas shayld be as eqnally apportioned as possible. This ia in
the strict line of equity, and equity,

issues,
