The Uncertainty OF Correctly Guessing {
Lawyers Fees.

The Uncertainty OF Correctly Guessing at
Lawyers Fees.
It has always been a difficult matter for
persons trained in ordinary business meth
ois 10 guess the value of attorneys fees, as
there seems to be no definite rule for ar
irving at any solution of the problem.
Even lawyers themselves frequently prove
to be very poor guessers in such cases
Some years ago then prominent attorney
now dead was engaged in probate case in
which the estate amounted to 500 He
demanded fee Of 81 900 for his services,
claiming that ten per cent. of the sum in.
volved was what an attorney should re-
csive. 1t was refused by mis- client, and he
then sued to recover II.
The attorney called in several members
of the profession as appraisers OF the value
Of his services, and no two of them agreed.
One thought that $3.50 would be fair, con-
sidering the ease with which the case
sessed the client at 800, and others guessed
all the way from $500 to 500.
Judge Mcfarland then occupied the
bench and he shot at the center of the
target and struck the $500 spot.
Yesterday the W. E. Johnston divorce
case was before Judge Van Fleet on the
question of fixing the fee of Grove L.
Johnson, Mrs. Johnston's attorney, which
her husband, the defendant, had been or
dered to pay. Lawyer Devlin was called
IN as an appraiser, and testified that in his
opinion 81, 900 would be a reasonable fee.
Mr.. Johnson made statement as to the
amount of labor he had expended on the
case, and said he thought he had earned
the figure mentioned By Mr. Deylin.
Judge Van Fleet said that under the cir.
cumstances he could not allow more than

DEADLY AIR-GuNs.

One of them Sends a Bullet Into the
Brain of Little Charlie Otto.
a sad accident occurred ID this city yes
terday as the result of children being al
lowed to play with deadly weapons in the
shape of So called toy guns. These deadly
machines are more dangerous even than
regular firearms. as the latter operate on
fixed mechanical principles, while the
former are liable to be discharged at any
time by the slightest accident AS they
also discharge bullets with sufficient force
to penetrate vital parts of the human body,
| and their use is confined to children of the
| tenderest age, they become doubly danger
Gus.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon lit
tie Charlie Otto, aged u years, son of f. NJ.
Otto, who resides at 1921 K street, was
playing in his yard with a younger
brother and the son of a neighbor, named
Lum. Benti, all of whom were armed with
air-guns loaded with large BIB shot, the lat
ter's weapon was discharged prematurely.
Charlie Otto clasped his hand TO his fore
head with a cry Of pain, and asked his play
mates if his eye had been shot out.
His mother was called and she found
that he had been shot in the forehead Just
above the left eye, and sent for City Physi-
clan Nichols. who resides close by. The
doctor probed the wound without being
able to find the bullet.
a RECORD UNION reporter called at the
house shortly afterward, and Mrs. Otto
said it was feared the bullet had gone
straight into the ohild's brain. The little
fellow was conscious, and talked freely of
the accident, but complained CT dull pain
in his head. The bullet doubtless had
ranged along the skull without doing seri-
Gus injury.
Last season, when these deadly weapons
were first placed on the market here and
parents put them into the hands of their
children, the RECORD UNION called atten-
ton to their dangerous character and
prophesied that soma father or mother
would have cause 10 regret having given
their children such treacherous engines of
death for play things. The sale OF these
things should be prohibited by law if

buy them for their children Shotguns

FREIGHT TRAIN WRECKED.
NINETY FEET OF sEowsAEDs TUMBLE
IN ON THE DERAILED CARS.
An Accident Near Emigrant Gap Which
Delayed Overland Traffic
How 1t Occurred.

Word was received at the depot yesterday
of serious accident on the line of the
Central Pacific Railroad at point known
as Yu5a Pass, which is about half way be-
tween Emigrant Gap and Cisco.
Freight train No. s, west bound, was
passing through the snowsbeds at the
point mentioned at about a. N. at ordi-
nary speed. The sheds were burdened
with the weight of nine feet of snow, and
in many places much more. The train
consisted of seventeen cars and was drawn
by two engines. When within three hun
bred yards of the switch and side-track at
Yuba Pass twelve Of the cars jumped the
track and struck heavily against the
sheds
With deafening roar and crash ninety
feet of sheds went down upon the ditched
cars and completely buried them.
The engines and the FIVE cars immedi-
ately behind them did not leave the track
nor were they damaged 10 any great extent
by the falling snoWshaCs. The deTailsd
cars were badly smashed and disfigured.
a wrecking train was sent Immediately
TO the scene of the disaster from Truckee,
and force Of nearly three hundred work
men were set TO work clearing the track.
The east boEnd fTst-class Overland train
which left this city Wednesday night at
midnight arrived soon after the accident,
but of course could not pass over until the
track was cleared.
The broken sheds had TO be first removed
from the Wrecksge before anything could
be done This accomplished, the snow
shoyeilers went 10 work and in q few hours
had removed the hundreds of tons Of snow
under which the cars were buried. Then
the WIecking crew Wss ser 70 work 10 re
place the dersilsd cars. This proved 10 be
a less difficult task than had been antici-
pated as the cars had mbled gracefully"
as the engineer described it.
At the expiration OF eleven hours from
the time Of the accident the read was in
good condition again, and the East-bound
train passed through. The wrecked freight
train was patched up as well as was posi-
BILE under the circumstances and started for
this CITY, arriving here last night
Division Superintendent Wright left for
the scene Of the wreck in his special car
shortly after noon, and personally superin-
tended the track clearing operations.
One Of the brGkemen who accompanied
the wrecked train explained to reporter
last night how the cars came to jump the
track. IN Oruer 10 insure sSIS travelling
said he, the rails must be free from snow,
and men are employed to constantly patrol
the track in the mountains TO see that II is
clear. When snow gets on the track the
first train over it hgttens it out and packs
it. Then it freezes into ice and stands up
on the track as solid and immovable as
thought it we're part Of it. The next train
along is the one that suffers, and can hardly
escape sliding of toe track when it strikes
this ice. That IS how this accident hap
pened, exactly"

How Joe Poheim and His WOrkmen En-
ioyed Their Christmas.
The San Francisco Chronicle gives the
following account of a pleasing incident Of
the Christmas time Joe Poheim wore
happy smile yesterday. His Christmas had
been merry one and one Of its most de-
nghtful features had been the presentation
to him by his regular employees of an ele'
CANT diamond ring as token of apprecia-
ton of the kind and liberal manner in
which they had been treated during the
year. D. Reynolds the head bookkeeper,
made the presentation. In doing so he
said that the store employees took advantage
of the day to testify the respect and affec-
ton they bore their employer. Mr.. Poheim
made a fitting response, expressing the
great pleasure he felt at the evidence Of re-
gard shown him. He afterward presented
Mr. Reynolds with beautiful gold watch
on behalf of the bookkeeper's fellow work
ers, and remembered John Artinger with a
handsome gold-quartz matchbox.

DROWNED ON CHRISTMAS.

John Zgraggen, a Wood-Chopper, Falls
Into the PitiIess River.
Christmas brought woe instead of glad
ness TO the little home of Johr. Zgraggen
located about six miles north of this city
on the east bank of the river
Mr.. Zgraggen has earned a livelihood fol-
himself, his wife and child by chopping
wood for many years past. On Christmas
night, while the evening meal was being
prepared, the father started for his brothers
house, about quarter of mile distant, tc
get some milk. The moon was shining
and the air crisp and cold, so Mr. Zgraggen
thought pull up the river in his boat
would serve to warm him up and at the
same augment his appetite for the Christ.
mas meal.
Half an hour passed and then en- hour
yet the father did not return, and the
mother and child grew anxious Another
half hour, and another hour-there was nc
longer any doubt in the mind of those al
home but that something had befallen him
The brothers house was soon reached and
information soon gained that tie father
had never reached there. 4 searching
party was quickly organized, but its efforts
were without success.
On the next day, yesterday, the search
was resumed. Both sides of the river were
thoroughly searched above and below the
house.
Finally, as the searehers were about to
give up in despair, they espied the little
boat floating indolently and empty down
the river about mile below the point
where the unfJrtunate wood-chopper en-
barked. One oar lay in the bottom OF the
boat snd the other was missing. In the
boat, also, was the milk-can which he had
taken with him.
The story was a simple one. ZEraggen
had rowed short distance and in the dark
ness encountered 3 snag or ran into the
bank. Dropping one oar in the bottom of
the boat he used the other TO push the boat
away from the obstacle. The oar either
broke or slipped and the wood-chopper
was prseiUitaled into the river. He could
not swim and was drowned.
The body has not yet been found, though
a diligent search is being made for it.
Igrsggen was s native Of Switzerland,
aged SO years. His sudden taking away
leaves the wife and child helpless.
