After Several Weeks Practice at 1t She
Acquires the Art.
The following chicken story, says the
Mountain View Register, is vuuched for by
one of our ranchmen:
His entire flock of chickens consists of
four hens-not rooster has been on the
premises up to three weeks ago for six
months past.
Some three months ago one of the hens
became so disguised because there was no
chanticleer to answer the bantering notes
OF the neighbors' ROSTERS that she con-
cluded to do it herself For the first few
weeks the noise she made was enough to
discourage less determined fowl, being
mixture of squall, crow and cackle; but
practice makes perfect. and now she gets it
OH in pretty good style.
A few days ago a neighbor sent over a
rooster. which for day or so seemed con-
tented, but finally became so offended with
that strong-minded hen that he left the
place in disgust, going back to his home,
which was nearly half mile away

KILLED BY MORPHINE.
Frank Soto Receives a Fatal Injection of
the Drug.

Frank Soto Receives a Fatal Injection of
the Drug.
Frank Soto, Mexican, was taken to the
Receiving Hospital at an early hour yester-
day morning in an unconscious condition.
An examination showed that he was suffer
ing from morphine poisoning hypOderm-
ically injected. II seems that, although not
in the habit of using the drug, he took
several injections during the night.
About o'clock he went to the room of
Mollie Williams, a FRIEND who lives at
SIS Kearny street. Several other fallen
women were in the room, and they say that
Mollie gave Soto another Shot" the needle
of the syringe breaking off in his arm
Mollie pulled out the needle and Soto went
to his room, at 20 Scott alley, where he was
found in comatose state ana removed to
the hospital.
He sank gradually until 2:15 o'clock in
the afternoon, when he died ami his body
was sent to the MOrgue. Soto was aged 25
years, and was a dive piano-pIayer by occu-
patton. Annie Wilson says she saw the Wilt
Jams woman inject the morphine into Soto's
arm. The police are investigating the affair,
and Mollie Williams may be taken nto
custody.

HARBoR COMMISSIONERS.
Owens Bros Contract WIN Be Assigned

Owens Bros Contract VIII Be Assigned
to Another Firm.
The Harbor Commissioners yesterday
again postponed the matter of the forfeiture
of Owens Bros contract fer Section of
the sea-wall until this afternoon. Three of
Owens Bros bondsmen appeared before he
board and stated that they are willing that
the contract be assigned to Darby & Lay
den. who. it was stated, would carry out the
agreement with the State under the original
terms. Two of the bondsmen were absent
and the matter went over until to-day.
Captains Chapman and Sutton asked the
board for indemnitication for the loss of 100
tons of coal, which sank through Fremont
street Wharf several days ago. Acting
under advice of the attorney Of the board,
the Commissioners replied that they had not
power to grant any relief, aud that the
proper way was to file claim with the
Legislature for all damages sustained. They
agreed, however, to take the coal out of the
bay.
The attorney of the board also fled an
opinion with the Commissioners that the
five waterfront lots on Channel street, be-
tween Fifth and Ninth. are the property of
the State. Counsel for the Southern Pacific
Company filed counter opinions.

Supposed Identification of the Suicide
Sunday.
1t is believed that the young woman who
committed suicide on Sunday night by
leaping into the bay from the ferry steamer
Newark was Kitty Malloy. joseph Josephs,
hackman, informed the police yesterday
that he drove Kitty from the HiIlsdale
House on Sixth street TO the ferry on that
night. On the way down Market street she
stopped at the Grand Hotel drugstore,
where she bought a bottle of something
Which she SAID was perfumery. After ar
irving at the ferry she laughed merrly as
she informed the hackman that she in
tended to commit suicide. J0sephs further
says that the woman made an appointment
with him to meet her at the ferry upon the
arrival Of the last boat from Oakland, as
she wanted him to take her back to the
Hillsdale House. She did not appear and
has not been heard of since. His descrip-
ton OF Kitty answers to that given Of the

Houghton's Share in the Building Limited
to $4,000.
Judge Levy yesterday rendered decision
in the case of the Bijou Theater against
Isaac Trumbo and others. of which Billy
Emerson is one. 1t appears that one of the
plaintiffs, II. a. Houghton, put $4,000 into
the building and went to Europe, and upon
his return TrumDo presented a claim for
over $4,000 spent on the building and about
$4,000 losses in theatricals.
HougEton brought suit to limit his share
to $4,000, and have it declared that lie was
not party to the theatrical business, but to
charge the additional expenses and all the
theater losses to Trumbo, also for a receiver
and for specific performance of the agree
ment TO lease the building for five years it
being erected on the land of the Snillaher
estate.
The case was ardently contested and yes
terday the court decided in favor Of HOugh-
ton, limiting his share to $4,000 and hold
ing that he was not in the theater business
aud that the defendants mus. stand the
losses. The court also granted receiver
and specific performance, and ordered that
the defendants pay to the plaintiff one third
OF tho rents due AZ urlvpa.

Buzzard EIec,rocnt.d

One afternoon about o'clock, Just before
heavy shower, several gentlemen were sit
ting in front of store In West Nashville
when one of the party observed n large
turkey buzzard that was sailing majestcally
across the sky, and remarked that If the
bnZzard did not look out he would get wet.
Their attention was thus called to the
bird and all were lazily watching its flight,
when suddenly, just as it was opposite and
above them, they were blinded by fash Of
lightning. which seemingly exploded on the
back of the buzzard.
They were astonished somewhat, but re-
covered themselves and looked for the buz-
card, but alas, the majestic bird was out of
sight. III that was left OF him was few
black tail feathers, which fluttered patheti-
cally to the ground. Those who witnessed
the phenomenon succeeded in catching sew
eral of tho scorched feathers, which they ex-
hibit in confederation Of the story.-Nash-
vile American.

into bloody row in the corridor of the

Both attorneys presented demurrers to
the affidavit filed by the District Attorney
charging contempt. urging lack of jurisdic-
ton. The acts of the accused, on which the
charge OF contempt is based, took place out
side the courtroom. Mr.. FoOte maintained
that a Judge must punish at once Tor con-
tempt IN his immediate presence, while the
court IS in session, or he loses jurisdiction.
He added that the parties concerned re-
GREETED the affair very much, aud certainly
did not mean to offend the Court
Judge Hebbard overruled the demurrers,
and then the respondents filed counter atfi-

the case on an argued statement of facts,
