CIVIL WAR IN GREEcE.

There is an old and we'll estab-
lishsd adage that the meeting OF
Greek with Greek results in the
real tug Of war. In San Francisco
. lively Judicial battle is promised
between Miss Aggie Hill and ex-
Senator William Sharon. The
Senator is charged by Miss Hill
with being her husband, who
repels the charge under oath
and promises to land Miss Hill and
her attorney in the peniteDtiary.
Sharon has sailed into the fight by
commencing suit through Col.
Barnes against Miss Hill in the U. =.
Court, and Miss Hills attorney,
William Nelson, has opened case
against Sharon in the Supreme
Court, alleging that litigation IN
the Federal Court only means five
or six years of delay. 1t is de-
liehtful mill, both sides are now in
the ring, and the stakes are up.
Barnes will spar for time and Neil
son will try to rush him to the
ropes. In order to get the case IN
the Federal Court Sharon was
obliged to swear that he was citi-
zen of Nevada which is certainly
bad beginning as Sharon is not .
. citizen of Nevada. has not boon for
years past, and in former suits has
over and over again made oath that
he was a citizen Of California. and
in California he pays his taxes. de
either lied when he swore he was
citizen of California or else when
he svore he was . citizen OF Neva-
d. He certainly has not resided
here for years past, and his pre-
tense that he was citizen OF this
State was laughed to scorn BY the
voters at the polls.
OF Miss Hill but little is known
in this section Of the country. Her
actions in tho case stamp her more
a An adventures than an honest
woman. She is reputea to have
youth, beauty and accomplish
ments on her side, and to be IN
usually we'll educated and refined.
Why did such . woman seek q man
Of Sharon's years for . husband?
Because. he had money. The
chances are that she dssed him
with champagne aud got him to
sign the marriage contract under
the impression that it was an order
for . new dress or some jswelry
trinksts. San Francisco il fall Of
women, brainy, beautiful. unscru-
pulous and msrcenary. lying in
wait fer milIionaires and circum-
venting them. Sharon is in the
tolls and will find q corden drawn
about him in the courts that Col.
Barnes and Sharon's money will find
difficult to break down. Al for
tho pubic. few people will care
which of the two wins.
There will also be presented the
spectacle of two adroit lawyers
matched in a most interesting case.
Col. Barnes is one of the most sue
cessful lawyers in California and
his fees for services are up at the
top figures. He has way Of riding
rough shod over his opponents,
something of bully and buffer
in his way, but fearless and able
and quick witted always.
VIM. Nielsen has no such reputa-
tien as Barnes, but in reality is one
of the coolest and smsrtest man in
San Francisco to-day. Barnes will
have 10 easy fight on his hands
and he will find early in the case
that he cannot bluff or bully the
opposing counsel and it will be
folly to attempt it. Nelson is
quick, fearless and capable, and
from all appearances both sides are
in the fight to win or die in their
trenches. In . case like this one
can hardly say "Let the best man
win," but rather say "May the
devil take the hindmost.
