The further examination of Juror Hard
ing occupied nearly the whole of Yesterday
in the waterfront trial. He was chal-
lenged by Attorney Martin for bias and
other cause. which were denied by the de-
PENDANTS.
Mr.. Moore then introduced witnesses to
impeach Harding's statements. Joseph
Warren. one of these. said he had been en-
ployed on the Woolsey barge, and while
boarding at Hardng's hotel had heard
Harding say that the water front was not
the property Of the waterfront company.
Hammond West, another barge watch
man, testified that Harding had profanely
said. on the morning after the barge chains
were cut by Davies men, that IL he had his
way about it he would run all of Woolsey's
men into the BAY.
Juror Klnsell was examined and passed,
and the examination of o. W. Burrell then
began, but was not finished.
HUNG HIMSELF.
j. Brouse, a kind man of Temescal. went
into the yard OF vacant house 10 drive out
some renegade cows in the early dawn of
yesterday and found a man hanging dead to
a rafter In the basement. That was lucky
for the cows. for they kept on eating the
dewy grass. while Brouse bounded with a
yell over the fence.

DR. dBERG's Suspicious.
There is something the matter with DIR.
John n. Oberg OF Lorin. The doctor saws
that somebody Is trying to poison him,
while his wife claims that he has only eaten
something which disagreed with him. and
Mrs. Sorilla de Lyon Of the Fulton House
on Larkin street. San Francisco, who knew
him in Tacoma. says that he is simply
crazy.
DIR. Oberg, who Is a homeopath, had a
good deal OF trouble with other physicians
in Tacoma which caused him to retreat to
LOrin. He believes the old-sehool physi-
clans stu have it In" for him and, In some
mysterious way, are trying TO remove him.
Another possible reason which he assigns
Is that once number OF influential Tacoma
citizens asked him TO join club, the quail
fcations to be that he must give proof of
having at some time in his lite committed
crime. As he wasn't eligible he says that
possibly the club Is trying to get him out of
the way 10 keep him from exposing the
members.
Both DR.. Oherg and his wife were taken
sick the other day, when he made the
charge that poison had been put in their
food.

days with Mrs. Maxon, but the payment for

couple. about which they did not bother.
