Promised Interest on the Money
and Then Itefuscd.
Los A.nokles, Oct. 27. A case
involving the power of cities to
collect interest on municipal funds
has been heard here. The suit is
brought by the city to recover,
approximately, $10 000 interest on
public funds, which the bank ie
fuses to pay. By the provisions tf
flip citv eliarter the clerk must
invi e "bids for the custody of the
funds, the bank offering the high
est interest on daily balances to
get th j contract for a year. This
was done, and after a lively fight
the City Bank got the contract at
4';. per cent, the other banks con
testing tlm award. The treasurer
finally turned over the money to

had been apinaled to the supreme
court which declaed the charter
provision regarding the loaning of
money unconstitutional. The de
cision was rendered only a few
weeks Ufore the contract expired.
The city treasurer demanded the
return of the city's money, which
was paid, less the interest, al
though this was entered on the
bank books and hid been carried
as part of the account. The city
now brings 6uit to recover the
iirerest. The defendants expected
to win in a few minutes, but Judge
haw went into the merits of the
case and ordered it submitted on

amination biought out the fact
that between if-iOCO and fUlW

Bank by borrowers of the city
funds.

The large butter-tub factory, of

Base Ball by Electric Light.
The Portland Exposi ion build
ing was perhaps never the scene of
a more unique exhibition than on
last Saturday nigh. Under the
glare of a dozen electric ligh's in
the main hall, the champion ball
tossers of the Northwest played an
indoor game of baseba'l with the
Staver fc Walker?, an amateur
organization. It was the liist a
tempt at sport of the kind iu Port
land, and proved a decided success.
Tt 11 hotly confested innings were
played oh the polished tl or, the
champions finally winning by a
score of 15 to 1 3. The batteries
were McNabb and Wilson lor the
amateurs and Fanning and G.all'
for the Portlands. It was a benefit
game, and brought out an audience
that e ire red into the spirit of the
p'avfullvas well as the average
outdoor gathering. The Portland
Marine band discoursed sweet
music between the innings, and
also betw en the meshes of a
large net stratchel across the
p.iintofthe stage to protect the
musicians from foul tt, s. The
diamond was artistically laid out
111 broad chalk marks, and the
bases were marked w ith hags of
sand that slid as reidilv as . the
most daring base stealers. In
stead of the tegular ball, the
players used an implement that
lookid something likea bag pud
ding, and which was puiunhd
around the roooi with small s zed
bats. Kid Camp led in tV bat
ting, and rapped out four two
baggers that got lost in the gallery.
The benefit realized about $50J for
