Tlio fact is, tho contests in the licenso court this year will bo tho most determined ever mado in this county. An Important note In connection with tho ro nionstriinccs this year is an order by tho court that nouo shall bo withdrawn out of court. A lawyer who files a remonstrance must let it stand until the court passes on it. Is It not a tact that most of tho remon strances you have filed aro based upon technicalities, such as an improper filing, or omissions in tbo applications, or sonio techni cality in connection with tho bonds?" tho reportor asked Mr. Jiollopeter. No. There iswheio you aro mistakon." Mr. Ilollopetcr then produced some papers which showed that cvidenco had been ac cumulated to substantiate tbo remonstrances in allegations of violations of the law. The charges aro selling on Sunday, selling to minors, selling beer by the can and pitcher to children, etc. The cvidenco in hand gives tho character of the violations, with tho dates, tho names of tho people who procured the drink, and tho names of witnesses. I understand," said tho reporter, "that most of tho remonstrances havo been prompted by a spirit of retaliation for politi cal reasons?" "Again you aro wrong," said Mr. Ilollo petcr. "There is not a caso I havo in baud iu which politics enter. All my remon strances aro well founded and unless the parties employing ibo chango their minds as to the prosecutions, or fail to niaku their cases good in court, there will be a loss of at least sixty licenses iu this town alouo." Tho HkiialI) reporter has learned, how. over, that many of tho remonstrances filed by other attorneys arise from political sore, ucss. IIo was Informed by excellent au thorlty that ox-Senator J. J.

At Gruhler llros., drugstore. San Queiilin.Cal., Jan. 8. When Will iam Henry Vheinlnre Durrnnt died on the Kullows yoBterduy for the murder of Clntiche Lamont he trrtve nn exhi bition of coolness and nerve such as has seldom been seen under similar circum stances. Hopeful almost to the very last minute, that something would In tervene to save him, lie walked to the scaffold and made a speech protesting his Innocence as calmly and with as distinct enunciation as If he had been addressing an assemblage ot friends upon some ordinary topic. Ills face was pale, his eyes were red, but his voice was firm, and he stood as solid ly as a rock while he proclaimed his Innocence and professed forgiveness to those who, he said, had hounded him to death Consistent to the last, Dun-ant died professing religion. Hut he died ac cepting at the last moment the corn forts of the Catholic church, Instead ot those of the Haptlst faith, In which ho was reared. Rev. Mr. Itader, a Protest ant minister, had arranged to ascend the scaffold with Durrant, but the min ister would not say that he thought Durrant Innocent, and the condemned man declined his services unless he professed belief In his Innocence. Then It was that the once ardent Haptlst turned to the Catholic church for con solation, and called upon Father La gan, a priest who had frequently vis ited him In prison, to attend him. Father Lagan responded and perform ed the last solemn rites of the church. Durrant remained In close consulta tion with the priest, and seemed to be deeply Interested In the Impressive cer emonlea At 10:31 o'clock Durrant, accompanied by Father Lagan, appeared at tho door of tho execution room. He was fol lowed by his father, a friend, Warden Hale and the guards. The father and his friend walked around the gallows to tho front, while Durrant and his keepers climbed to the gallows plat form. Instantly on arriving at the gallows Durrant's legs and arms were pinioned and tho rope was placed about his neck. The hangman was about to adjust the black cud when Durrant announced his desire to speak. Permission was given, and the doomed murderer spoke as follows: "I desire to snythat, although I am an Innocent man. Innocent of everv crime that has been charged against me, I bear no animosity towards those that have persecuted me, not even the press of San Francisco, which hounded me to the grave. If any man thinks I am going to spring a sensation I am not, except It Is a sensation that I am an Innocent man, brought to the grave by my persecutors. But I for give them all. They will get their jus tice from the great God, who Is mas ter of us nil. and there I also expect to get justice that Is, the Justice of an Innocent man. Whether or nut the per petrators of the crime of which? I am charged are discovered, It will make no dlfterence to me now, but I say this day will be a shame to tho great state of California. I forgive everybody who has persecuted me, an Innocent man, whose hands have never been stained with blood, and I go to meet my God with forgiveness for all men." The words were delivered slowly nnd distinctly and without emphasis. The eager crowd of spectators grouped closer to the wooden framework, that they might not lose a word of what was being said. Not a sound could be heard except the even tones of the man about to die. Durrant had scarcely ceased speaking when the black cap was placed over his face. At the same Instant Hangman Lunt raised his hand, the trap was sprung, and with a rattle Durrant s body shot through the opening. In jti3t 11 minutes and 2S seconds all signs of life had vanished. The body was allowed to hang for 15 minutes, when It was cut down nnd plnred In a black coffin. Then, accompanied by the parents, It was taken to San Francisco, It Is not yet known what disposition of the body will be made, as Durrant's parents have been so far unable to secure permission to Inter the liody In any of the local cemeteries. It Is very probable that the body will bo cremated. or Internst lo the Public. Having been nppoluted Notary Public I am prepared aud will promptly attend to the writing of dccc"s, mortgages, wills, bends, leases, agreements and all classes of legal work generally.
