WHERE Is MR.. WELLS?
Two Hotel-Keepers Arc Anxfously
Looking for Him.

Two dotei-heepers Arc Anxfous1y
Looking for Him.
Two Seattle hotel-keepers and several
other Seattle citizens are anxiously look
ing for young man named NJ. e. Wells
or Fl. E. Wells. of New York About the
middle of February he came to Seattle
and went to the Northern hotel. At once
he began the preliminary work for the
publication in this city of Literary pa
per of high charater," to be called the
Wdre. The issue was to be weekly of
some fifty or sixty pages, quarto, at a SUBJ
scription price of 81 per annum, payable
in advance"
Mr.. Wells. who was the head and center
of this new literary venture, devoted him
self to soliciting subscriptions and
collecting material. He called upon
Arthur A. Denny, Rev. George
F. Whitworth and several of
the old settlers, telling them he intended
to make the Ware historical in part, and
to this end he would print pictures of the
pioneers. and would also publish histori-
cal sketches. He even secured several
photographs, from which cuts were to be
made.
His operations were not highly success
full, and he did not secure many subscri-
bers. On February q part of his bill at the
Northern was unpaid, and he was forced
to leave. Going to the Grand, he took a
room, which he was very particular to
have placed in apple-pie order unusually
early in the morning Of February 20, be-
cause, he said. he wanted to receive callers
there. On the morning of March 1 the
proprietor of the Grand found that Wells
was missing. Hehas not been heard from

BIG DAMAGES GIVEN.
Mrs. Sears Gets $4,000 for In
juries in Collision.
FAULT OF THE MoToRMAN.
Compensation for Permanent Injuries
Mussetter Confesscs judgment to
White-The Blotter.

The largest award in damage suit for
personal injuries ever brought in by jury
in King county was rendered yesterday in
Judge Osborns department of the superior
court in favor of Mrs. Annie Sears and
I against the Seattle Consolidated Street
Railway Company. After trial by jury
upon claim for $25, 900 damages the jury
yesterday morning gave verdict for the
plaintiff fixing her damages at $4,000.
Mrs. Annie Sears is the wife of Frank
Sears, formerly managing editor of
the Victoria Times. On September
i6 last, she was in Seattle on a
visit and was passenger on car
going to Fremont. A wagon
was on the track ahead, and
when within several hundred feet
Of the wagon, the motorman began ring
ing the bell to warn the driver to get off.
The driver testified that he did not hear
the bell at all. The motorman failed to
sacken and g. collision occurred, which
threw both the car and the wagon from
the track. Mrs. Sears was thrown vio-
lently to the ground and suffered concus-
sion Of the spine, from which she has
never recovered. and from which, the ply
scians say, she never can recover. She
was brought into court on litter.
The testimony was conflicting as to the
negligence of the motorman. He was dis
charged from the employ of the company
after the accident. Mrs. Sears has been at
the Snoqualmie hotel since she was in
jured. She was a large, robust woman,
but is now wasted away to mere shadow.
Thompson, Edsen q HUMPHREYS ap-
peared for Mrs. Sears, and Wiley, Scott &
Hafe for the company. 1t is expected
that motion for new trial will be made
BY the defendants

AN EQUITABLE DECISION.
Judge Lichtenberg Grants New Tri
Where Law Denies Right of AppeaI

Judge Lichtenberg Grants New Trial
Where Law Denies Right of Appeal.
Judge Lichtenberg yesterday rendered
an important opinion in the superior court
In the case of Gust Gunderson VS.. ex-
Sheriff William Cochrane. Gust Gunder-
son was arrested by Sheriff Cochrane sew
eral years ago upon suspicion of being
Ole 0leson, who murdered Mile Lyons,
In Napa county, Cal. Gunderson's resem-
blance to Oleson was so striking that it
was some time before he could establish
his identity and secure his discharge from
Jail. He then brought suit for damages
against Cochrane and finally got a judg-
ment of $500 as punitive damages.
Cochrane moved for new trial, which
was refused. He then took an appeal
to the supreme court, but the statement
Of facts in the case was not signed by
Judge Stratton until after he had retired
from the bench. The supreme court held
that his certIfication was not good because
he was no longer judge, and the appeal
was dismissed
Cochrane recently petitioned for an in
junction to prevent Gunderson from push
ing the execution and also asked the judge
to exercise the equity right given to the
ing him new trial on account of an error
which was no fault of his. He asked for a
new trial on the presumption that he
would have gotten it, had there been no
error in the statement of facts.
Hankey & Franklin, as attorneys for
Gunderson, demurred to the complaint
upon the ground that the right claimed
for the judge had been abrogated by the
code; that the supreme court had affirmed
the lower court, and therefore execution
should issue. This raised for the first time
the point of law upon which many state
cases have been dismissed, the first of these
being Faulkner VS.. Warner, from Spokane.
James Hamilton Lewis argued for the
Injunction and Hankey e. Franklin
against it. Judge Lichtenberg gave a
\ written opinion to the effect that he still
\ held the right given TO the early English
high chancellors. He sustained the bill,
overruled the demurrer and granted the
restraining order against the collection of
the Judgment. The hearing will come up
next Saturday on the motion for new
trial. The judgment and interest and
costs now amount to about 81 500.

Water Front Notes.

Fort Warden Rogers said yesterday tn at
Lne new mooring buoy the city council has
oecided to have placed in the harbor
would be placed in about forty fathoms Of
water one-eighth of a mile west of south
west OF the Ocean dock. 1t will be held
IN place by an anchor, and Captain Rogers
mas written to San Francisco inquiring
ABOUT large anchor and chain there
winch were on one of the men-of-war
wrecked off the Samoan islands by q hur-
ricane in the spring of 1889. Some of the
captains of coasting vessels offered to
bring the anchor and chain up free some
time ago, for the accommodation of having
good buoy here.
The old buoys have been of the "mush
room" style-that is, they were held in
place by large circular casting made in
the shape of dish or mushroom, so that
when it settled in the mud the pressure of
water and air was supposed to prevent it
from moving. They proved failure, how
ever, because the castings were not of
sufficient size to hold them in place when
vessel was struck by a stiff breeze.

Race Against Time for q Charter.

Swedish bark Albatross, Captain Frock-
berg, arrived at Port Townsend Friday,
twenty days from San Pedro, and anchored
on the ballast ground. The captain re-
ports that his vessel is chartered to load a
cargo of lumber at one>of the Puget sound
mill ports at SIS Cd per LOB feet and that
this charter holds good until sun down of
March Is. As freights have fallen to
about 42s, he is, of course, very anxious to
report his vessel ready, but. as the agent
for underwriters insists that the vessel
discharge all her sand ballast, 400 tons,
and replace 200 tons with rock, shipping
men are watching with interest the trans
fer of 600 tons in such short timo.
Should the Albatross lose her charter, it
might be some time before she would find
employment.
