sengers, and in order 10 do this il was contended
oy counsel that the carrier alone
must be responsible. II was claimed
IN behalf OF the Seattle Electric Comnsny
that there was no concurrent negligence aud no
rsponsibility can rest with thst company. The
motion 20 dismiss the suit against IL was
overruled. Yesterday afternoon several wit

SUING FOR THEIR CHILD.
Christian Paulson Resorts to tho Writ
of Habeas COrpUs,

Christian Paulson applied to Judge Lichten-
berg yesterday morning for a writ of habeas
corpus, for the possession of Harold Emil Paul
son, his 7.year-old child, now in the custody of
his wife, Julia E. L. Paulson, at Fremont. This
10 the sequel TO q sensational street scene that
occurred near the corner OF Columbia street and
Railroad avenue Wednesday afternoon, when
Mr.. and Mrs. Paulson had spirited struggle for
the child.
Since their marriage at Olympia in 1888 Chris
tian Paulson and his wife have not always
dweit in peace and harmony, and several times
she left him. charging him with drunkenness
and cruelty, but reconciliation was always ef-
feeted until the last time, which occurred on
April "a, when Mrs. Paulson left her husband,
taking the child with her, aud went to reside
with her brother, II. f. Stumel.
In his application for a writ of habeas corpus
Paulson charges his wife with abandoning him
without cause and taking the child against his
wishes and protestations, and refusing to give
him the care and custody OF the child. He also
charges his wife and her brother with seeking to
ALLEVIATE the affections OF his child from him
and with forcibly restraining and preventing
him from exercising fathers care. He says
his child needs schooling and clothing which
he Is amply able TO provide, and by being kent
In Fremont under restraint and out of school
the child Is greatly wronged. He Is willing that
MIS- Paulson shall visit the child whenever she
desires. but he wants it with him.
Judge Ichtenberg ordered the writ to issue.
and will give the case hearing on June l. to
determine upon the best disposition TO be made
OF the child

A THOUSAND DOLLARS DAMAGE.
"O1d Blaxes" Breaks Up . Pleasant
Party-Dry House at Stimson's
Mill Flares Up.


About 10 O'Clock last night fire broke out in
the dwelling house of George w. Dornbach, at
the corner of Main and Bush streets, and before
the fire department could get to work on it the
whole roof was ablaze. By good work with the
Chemicals when they arrived, the flames were
soon brought under control and the walls and
interior OF the building were saved with but
slight damage.
Mr.. Dornbsch and his wife were entertaining
some company in the parlor during the evening
ana q IRE had been kiudled to prepare some
lunch. few minutes later, one of the neigh
bors came TO the door and informed Mrs. Dorm
bach that considerable smoke was coming from
the rear of the building. She ran out and saw
the flames breaking through on the roof. An
alarm was Immediately sent in, but owing TO the
distance it IVES some time before the department.
could respond
IN the meantime all the furniture except the
carpets was removed from the building and
saved with but little damage. Chemicals Nos.
and and fire engine No. turned out and in
side OF twenty minutes after the first chemical
got 10 work, the fire was about extinguished.
Inc building was practically owned by Fred
e Sander, but had been sold TO Dornbach on in
staliments, Mr.. Sander holding q policy for
about 81, 100 insurance with w. NJ. Calhoun.
The furniture was insured with W. L. Canaan,
but Mr.. Dornbach could not tell for how much.
The building was valued at s., 800, and was dam
aged to the extent of about 81 900. 1t is probable
that sl0o wiz cover the damage to the furniture.

Public School Notes

Miss Lillian Burrows, a teacher in the
Olympic school, is quite i'll.
Professor Heston says that there is absolute
need of a new High school building. The pres
ent one is not large enough, it is not properly
adjusted. and is badly ventilated. Moreover. he
said the third story was originally intended only
for an assembly room.
Professor J. d. Atkinson, principal OF the
South school, will leave on Monday for Olympia
to attend the organization of the state board of
education. The board will make up questions
for the entire year for the examination of
teachers Part of its duties will also be to grant
state and life certificates on diplomas aud certi-
fcates from other states.
The hot air furnaces of the South school were
recently repaired. A system Of air-shafts
has been put in which introduce fresh air into
the building with excellent effects.
Measles are raging furiously among the pupils
OF the primary department of the South school.
In some of the rooms as many as a dozen pupils
are on the absent list The disease is abating
somewhat
The little trees that were set out around the
South school some time ago are growing nicely
and add greatly to the cheerfulness of the
grounds.
The Longfellow Literary Society, conducted
under the supervision of Miss Lille F. White,
vice principal OF the South school, is arranging
fine programme for the last meeting OF the
session, which occurs about June Il.

Employees Leg Br oxen.
Albert Porter, a millwright at the Stimson
mill at Ballard, was caught on Wednesday in
the machine known as the slab-slasher and lost
the first and second toes of his right foot. The
index finger of the right hand belonging to q
man named Anderson was also clipped in the
same mill. Royal Mullen, another employe,
broke his leg at Ross this morning at o'clock.
He was wrestling and skylarking, slipped and
broke his leg. DR.. Rinehart attended all three
men.
Three accidents, one fatal. in fifty hours, and
four accidents in as many days, have occurred
at these mills. The explanation given is that
the men became careless and that Zintic, who
was killed, was frequently warned with others
to be careful around the high piles OF lumber.
1t is also said that he attempted to pull board
from the bottom of the pile, which caused it to
topple upon him.

FIRE AT THE sTIMsoN MILL.
Serious Blaze in the Dry House Is Sum
uaoriIv Gnnalehed.

marty
The dry house belonging TO the Stimson Mill
Company at Ballard caught fire in some I'M
known manner at 1870 yesterday morning, and
the rapid spread OF the fire caused fear for the
safety of the whole large plant. The employees
Immediately turned six streams OF salt water
upon the burning building, and shortly there
after the volunteers of the fire department had
q seventh stream playing vigorously upon it. In
few minutes these streams extinguished the
fire.
The interior and roof of the dry house and
several thousand ornamental shingles stored in
IL are badly damaged by fire. The total loss,
however, will not exceed $500.
1t is not known how the fire started, although
it is supposed that either some sparks from the
burner fell upon the roof or it caught from an
over heated pipe. The promptness with which
the fire was extinguished proves the excellence
of the protection possessed by the town, though
its introduction has produced no effect on in
surance rates.
