THE WILD WEST SUIT:


 -Judpe Torrance Listens To The Arr
 gument of Their Coun1el-The End
 Not Yet.
 Yesterday morning Judge Torrance in the Superior court room heard the attorneys for Buffalo Bill and Dr. Carver on the matter or
 substituting a bond for the attachment
 brought by the latter against the former and
 Nate Salisbury For Dr. Carver appeared
 Attorney Blydenburgh, while John w. AL
 ling, J. H. Webb and s. c. Loomis managed
 the case for Buffalo Bill. There were num-
 Der of lawyers present as spectators, besides
 few of the Buffalo Bill troupe, made up of
 cowboys and Indians. There were also
 present Sheriff Gates of New Haven county,
 Sheriff Osgood of Windham county and
 Sheriff Schwartz of Fairfield county to-
 gether with several deputy sheriffs and con
 stables.
 The legal proceedings before Judge Tor
 rance were arguments made by the attor- neys Mir. Blydenburgh in his opening pro
 nounced as untrue the statements made by Attorney filling before Judge Stoddard last week that MT. Daley had stated that he would break Cody up when his show came into the State, and also as untrue MT. Webb's assertion at the same time that the bond giv-
 
 Bill in Willimantic was $5, 900. MT. Blyden-
 burgh produced the original bond showing that MT. Daley had given SIG, ,000 bail. Mir.
 Blydenbu gh was in the midst of his aTgu- ment when he made the statement that the name of "Wild West" originated with Dr. Carver and was suggested by him to MT. Cody when the latter was visiting at Dr. Caryers residence ''That is the fact and I can prove it," said Mir. Blydenburgh. Buffalo Bill shook his head and said "You can't do it.''
 ssThe gentleman shakes his head" contin- ued MT. Blydenburgh, "but it is the truth, and he may continue to shake his head: he will shake it more before we get through with him."
 Before Mr. Blydenburgh had finished MT. filling interrupted and asked if $16,00C 1 bonds would be satisfactory in the suit fo1 malicious arrest. "You don't want to hear me any mo1e," remarked Dr. Carver's attor-
 ney, who then accepted the offer. The | bondsmen proved to be Henry Futile ot
 Hamden, and w. H. Higgs, William Too hey and Dr. Bullock of Hartford.
 As soon the bail was accepted Buffalo Bill left for Bridgeport. He had no sooner got out of the court room than Constable Catlin tapped him on the shoulder and cited him to appear before Justice of the Peace Charles R. Whedon at o'clock in the after noon, there to have his deposition taken in the suit he has brought against Carver. The taking of the deposition being allowable is owing to the fact that Cody is nonresident. I Lawyer filling told him to go ahead, and by noon Buffalo Bill was in Bridgeport. After considerable discussion Judge Torrance fixed the bail in the libel suit, which was placed at S10, ,000, the same gentleman giving the bond that furnished the other one.
 While Messrs. filling and Blydenburgh l were fighting before Judge Torrance, Law yers Willett and Webb went post-haste to | Judge Stoddard at Milford, where MT. Webb applied for an-injjyin5tion injunction to restrain MT. ] Y. lhedon from issuing capias for Cody's ar rest, providing he failed to appear. MT. Wiliett went down in Dr. Carver's interest. He also asked for an injunction extending
 the time in which the property could be talk en possession of after the attachment had been served. About the time the second bond had been fixed both lawyers hustled in | to the court room.
 MT. Webb reported that Judge Stoddard favored an injunction, but referred the whole matter to Judge Torrance. Mir. Will lett then made his statement. He flatly con tradicted MT. Webb, and according to MT Willett, Judge Stoddard refused to grant any injunction or advise one. The dlsa greement was not settled, but Lawyer Al ling moved that Judge Torrance issue the de | sired injunction It was admitted by bott Willett and Webb that Judge Stoddard had ! told them the matter should first be submit | ted to Lawyer Whedon. Judge Torrance helc | the same view and gave it as his opinion | that while Dr. Carver had the right to obtain Buffalo Bills deposition, care ought to be 1 taken not to interfere with the show any more than possible.
 MT. filling said it would be no show at al without Cody as he and Sitting Bull were | the leading attractions. He suggested that l evening and morning sessions be held so a' | to accommodate MT. Cody.
 Lawyer Blydenburgh objected to any suct l proceeding. He referred to the fact tha | Cody and Salisbury had forgotten theil | treatment of his client; how they had attack ed him, arrested his body, broken up his | business and ruined him, and now when re dress is sought they come into court anc whine and whimper like blubbering, over anyown school boy.

 Judge Torrance said the matter oua be laid before MT.

Alling went over very much the same ground, and suggested his willingness to pay all the expenses of placing Justice Whedon on wheels and carting him around the State to take Buffalo Bills deposition during in- tervals when his show or parade was. not in progress. MT. Whedon, when assured that he would have free passes to the exhibition, rather liked the idea, but a magistrate said he could not do such thing unless the other side agreed to it. MT. Blydenburgh would not agree. He said: 'I will agree to } continuance until tomorrow at o'clock with the understanding that MT. filling agrees to have Cody here at that time; if he on'f.4 shall ask for 8 capias." No further concessions were made by Dr. Carver's law yers and the Re;aring went over until to- lay.
