pretor of that hotel, to recover S25, 900 dam

charges that she entered the hotel one day
and was met by Mauerban and his brother
and that they forcibly elected her, thro wing
her down, tairs and spraining her arm, which
she now wears in spints. The trouble be-

of the early management of the hotel.
Mrs. Lakhune opened the hotel when IL
was yet unfinished. She bought 5000
worth Of furniture from the Indianapolis
Furniture Company on Mission street, San
Francisco, on which she paid about half
cash. The rent of the hotel was S275

involved. and Mauerhan, who was with the
indianapolis Furniture Company, proposed
q partnership. She alleges that lie presented
10 her some papers for signature. but she
refused to sign until her attorney had seen
them. She claims that afterward Mauerhan
had her sign Il bogus paper whereby she as
signed to him without any consideration
moving to her from him her interest
the furniture. He thereupon took
possession. Mrs. Lakhune says she will
bring two suits-one to recover the furniture,
etc, in the hotel I'LL OF which she will claim
rs her own property, and the personal dam

The suit OF Frank Simpson, as contractor
and builder OF the Albany Hotel, aud about
twenty-five lien-holderS, against Joseph Mac
don0ugh, the owner, has developed numer-
Gus surprises in the twelve or fifteen court
days it has been on trial. Another was

for the Berkeley Planning mills lien testified
that Simpson told them at the mill THAI Mac
donough was about 10 back ont OF his prop
oSitiOn TO put the fourth story on the build
in that il he came out to find what their
bill was to add $500 more than it amounted
to, and if he backed out to collect it, but
that if the work went on the $500 was not
to be mentioned or charged up. As the
planing-mlll company has included the $500
in its lien claim, questions were asked In ex-
PLANTATION as to why 1t was charged when
the building went ahead and nothing was
done for that item. IL was explained by the
witness that the mill-owners found their bid
and contract $500 too low.
