Croskey was up in a moment, and,
Sclzing a large oil lamp on the desk,
hurled it at his assalant
Meanwhile the friends Of the principals
had taken up the cudgisin behalf of their
respective chiefs, and for short time the
house of learning was a pandemonium
The air was full of flying missiles and
rent with the yells and the shrieks of the
assaulting and assaulted The result
was number of serious contusions and
the development OF bitter fcud, but no
casualties.

CURIOUS DIVORCE CASE.
THE STORY OF THE EVIDENCE IN
THE JACKSON SUIT.
An Australian Wife Believed to Have
Been Dead Bobs Up as Another Mans
Bride-Strange Complications.

The divorce suit OF Mrs. Carlotta
Jackson vs. John Eugene Jackson, came
up for hearing before Judge Wade in
department three yesterday, and was
finally submitted on briefs.
From the evidence introduced by both
parties to the suit, very interesting
story was gathered, in which it was de-
yeloped that both a husband and his wife
believing each other dead unwittingly
committed bgamy. 1t was shown by
the plaintiffs attorney that the defend
ant, John Eugene Jackson, then a
miner. met domestic servant named
Elizabeth Ann Wharton, at Forbes,
small mining camp i'll New South Wales,
Australia, and subsequently married
her at Orange, New South Wales, on
February l6, 1864. They lived together
for over year and had one child, girl,
who was christened Sarah Ann Jackson
Their relations, however, were not
OF the most pleasant character, and in
1865, they separated, Jackson going to
Sydney and his wife returning to her
relatives. About year later he wrote
to his wife announcing his intention OF
sailing for America, and that was the
last time she heard from him. On his
arrival in the United States Jackson
settled at San Francisco. While there
lie wrote number of letters of inquiry
about his wife, but could learn nothing
OF her, and finally in 1868 he met an old
mining acquaintance, who had recently
arrived from Australia, and learned
from him that his wife was dead.
In 1872 Jackson came to Los Angeles,
and on July IL Of the following year he
married the plaintiff, Carlotta Carrillo,
Dy whom he had three children.
1t subsequently transpired, however,
that Jackson's first wife, believing him
to be dead, married man named James
Walker in 1878, and bore him six chill
dren, before his death, which occurred
in Australia recently. Hence as Jack
sons first wife is still alive, his mar
riage with his second wife is annulled,
and Mrs. Carlotta Jackson asks to have
it legally declared so.
The main point at issue in the case is
that of the partition of Jackson's prop
erty, valued at $125,000, which he
decided to lis second wife in 1883. The
plaintiff claimed that Jackson decided
this property to her, in order to make
all the reparation in his power, for the
wrong he had done her in marrying her
while his first wife was alive, but the
defendant stated specifically that he
would not have executed the deed 70
her had he been aware of the fact that
she WAS not his legal wife.
