A Habeas Corpus Case Which Has
Gone to the Highest Tribunal
For some time past Mr.. Hugo o. Won Ulrich
and his wife have been living In decided un-
happiness; 30 much 30 that they had fire.
quently caused themselves, respectively, to be
brought before the First Recorders Court on
petty charges. This unhappiness was further
increased by suit for divorce in the courts
and separation In the meantime. Wednes-
day night Won Ulrich went to his wife's house,
and she subsequently caused his arrest for
breaking and entering In the night, armed
with deadly weapon, with intent to commit q
felony. On this charge Won Ulrich was In
carcerated, and the case not having come to
trial yesterday, counsel fer the defendant ap-
piled TO the Filth District Court for writ Of
hdbeGS corpus.
The petition for the writ stated that the
Offense was bailable one; that he was pre-
pared to furnish bail, but the privilege was
refused him. Judge Rogers granted the writ
ordering his release on a bond Of $4,000, condi-
toned On big appearance before the First
Municipal Police Court.
When this writ had been served Recorder
Sheehan, presiding In the police court filed a
petition In the Supreme Court, alleging that
the Jurisdiction Of his tribunal had been In
vaded by Judge Rogers; that until prelimi-
nary examination had been held 1t was Inn
possible to determine whether the accused
could be admitted to ball or what the amount
OF the bond should be. and that as no appeal
could lie from the order OF Judge Rogers, q
writ Of certi0rayi to bring up the record of
the Fifth District Court and to restrain the
judge OF that court from proceeding further
~ dhssf the mater aMseioa were e eda necessary.

BREAKING IN.

Yesterday Col. T. s. Hardie, Of the State
Engineers Department. was informed Of q
crevasse In Bayou Lafourche, about twenty
five miles below the Morgan Railroad bridge
Report put the break at from twenty-five to
thirty feet wide, with depth Of about three
feet, but this is probably an exaggeration, as
most reports OF the character are, as rule,
the first time. Col. Harcie took immediate
steps to have the necessary curatives applied,
leaves for the place with all available mate
rial for closing the gap.
The break In the levee between the Bar
racks and Slaughter House was being put In
condition yesterday, and all immediate
threat Of danger was removed.
Col. Hardle was yesterday rather encour-
aged with the prospects OF the river. The
Arkansas is falling, and there is no appre-
ciable rise ID the Missouri, 30 that the food
from the Ohio may be given an opportunity
to pass away without any extraordinary &C.
cession. The water, however, is at the dan
ger line, and the utmost vigilance must be
exercised.
