Wabasha he refuses to state. He de-
clines the services of physician, say
ing he believes in faith cure and the
power of God TO heal. He makes the
remarkable statement that his wife died
100 years ago. and that he has daughters
living in Paris, New York and Waba-

caused discontinue to another old pa

county. Keegan has all along claimed

lief in it. Both men are probably be-

Juuge CraVenS Holds V. y. and &. Is.
McClatchy to Answer.
The libel examination case of p. II. and
Emma Dodge against c. K, Y. S. and
Charlotte McClatchy, proprietors of the
Bee, came up for argument before Judge
Cravens last evening. The courtroom
was well filled with interested listeners,
and about two hours and half were con-
sumed by the attorneys.
Grove l.. Johnson, for the prosecution,
opened the proceedings by arraying be-
tore him formidable number of law
books and for over an hour cited cases
bearing upon the law Of libel and empha
sizing the responsibility of publishers
and proprietors for whatever may be put
into print by them.
Counsel held that Mrs. McClatchy. as
one OF the owners Of the Bee, was enti-
tied to as much voice in its control and
management as were the other proprie-
tors, and argued that she should be held
with the other partners responsible for
its actions III the matter Of libel, as she
would be for civil contract made by the
firm.
In reply, Charles T. Jones submitted
that Mrs. McClatchy had little or moth
ing to say i'll the management Of the bus
mess OF the paper, and urged that she be
discharged.
In closing the argument Mr.. Johnson
again cited numerous decisions of Eng
lish and American courts supporting his
claim that Mrs. McClatchy should be
held.
The case was submitted about 10 o'clock
and Judge Cravens, after stating that he
had given to it considerable attention and
thought said that while there had been
no question in his mind but that c. X.
and V. S. McClatchy should be held to
ferent as to Mrs. McClatchy's connection
with the case
After going over few of the points in
the arguments, he ordered that Mrs. Nc
CATCHY be discharged and c. X. and V.

fixed at $500 each.

oAe OF Inem seen Recently-Mr. Abb
bolts Experiment.
There is reason to hope that, despite the
poor judgment shown by the Deputy
Game Commissioner who brought the
five pairs of Monaghan pheasants here a
couple of years ago-as to the time of the
yeal and locality selected-the birds have
not all persisted, and possibly some Of
them have bred.
Fred GotObed of the Rancho del Paso
states that about four months ago one of
the employees Of the place saw n full
grown pheasant on Arcade Creek, a con-
siderable distance from where the birds
were put out.
Iney were in poor condition, when
turned loose, to protect themselves from
hawks and other enemies, but may have
! succeeded in doing SO. Again, the colony
was altogether too small, for there was
danger of the birds being scattered and
not again coming together.
a. Abbott of the California State Bank
is going about the matter of introducing
pheasants i'll more practical way. He
has few down at the old Winters ranch,
south OF the city, which he keeps in a
large wire cage. The eggs are taken from
the nests and Matched out by common
hens.
In this way Mr.. Abbott should in a
short time have a goodly number of
pheasants TO turn loose, and it is hoped
that his efforts in that direction will be
successful.
