JUDGE sTRUvH RETURNS.
A Winter In San Francisco-Condition o
the Renton Will Contest.

Winter In San Franctsco-Condtt10n OF
the Renton Will Contest.
Judge and Mrs. H. G. Strive and Miss
Struve returned by the Umatilla yesterday
from San Francisco, where they have been
spending the winter. Mrs. A. E. Mac
Culskey, who was with them most of the
time, is now at Coronado with friends,
but she will arrive in Seattle
in short time. Judge Strive
said last night that they had had a
delightful winter. Various professional
engagements have occupied much of his
time, but he and his family have made a
number of excursions to the resorts within
easy reach of San Francisco.
One of the cases which called Judge
Struve to San Francisco was the contest
over the will of the late Cap
tain William Renton. Mrs. Mary A.
Gaffney and Mrs. Elizabeth J. Sackman
are opposing the probate of the instru-
ment on the ground that they are the
adopted children of Captain Renton, and
consequently his legal heirs; and further
more that the captain was not of
sound mind when he made his
will. Judge Strive, who peared
for the will, said last night
that the case had been argued on points of
law before the court, and that written
arguments had been required. His side
had submitted theirs and the others had
a few days yet. Judge Strive claims that
the contestants of the will fail to show
when, where or how they were adopted by
Captain Renton.
The Judge brings word that the presi-
dent and a committee of the German Saw
ipgs and Loan Society will visit Seattle
next month to look over the ground with
reference to some proposed loans.

WRECK OF THE srEAMERvENTuRE.
Dashed On the Rocks at Rockport-Five
of the Crew Drowned.


WEsrPoRr, Cal, March 2s.-Capt. George
Johnson, of the wrecked steamer Venture,
who has just come down from Rockport,
the scene of the wreck, says the sea came
in rough at midnight: then claimed
down until 3:45, when is be-
came suddenly tempestuous, every
sea breaking over the vessel. The
captain gave orders to unshackle, but be-
fore the cable was unshackled the finch
bow and breast hawsers parted. Orders
were given to steam ahead. The vessel
swung to the southwark and carried the
shackle of the cable out of reach from the
deck. The vessel was lying under cable
awaiting daylight to load. The captain
made several fruitless attempts to reach
the bow of the vessel to cut the cable.
Finally tremendous sea power
caused the cable to lift and carry across the
vessels deck q, 5O0-pound anchor, thirty
fathoms of two-inch chain and a twenty
foot log buoy; then the vessel dragged q
3.700-pound anchor by the headline and
struck South point, steep, rocky promon-
tory.
Orders We're given to launch the life raft,
and it was soon in the water. The second
engineer and first mate were washed into
the sea and the engineer was carried out
to sea. The mate succeeded by super
human efforts in reaching the vessel. By
this time the raft had broken away and
gone to sea. The captain stood upon the
bridge when the vessel struck. The rail
being against the bluff and the house
loose, the captain left the house
and vessel, stepping from the rail upon
the perpendicular face of the bluff. After
climbing 100 feet up the steep bluff, the
captain found narrow ledge to stand up
on and life line was thrown to him from
the deck. He saved ten of the crew, four
lost their footing in trying to climb the
bluff and were washed away and drowned.
The steward was the first to lose his
footing and fell into the sea. His name is
unknown.
Fireman William Strand. aged about IS,
was the next to go. He leaves wife and
large family in San Francisco.
First Engineer Homand, aged about so,
single. native of New York, went next.
He leaves no family.
Sailor Peterson, aged about AZ, from San
Francisco, native of Sweden, was the
last man lost.
Second Engineer James Burns, aged
about 60. native of Ireland, who leaves q
wife in San Francisco, was washed over
board before the vessel struck. The rest
of the crew were saved.
The value of the Venture was $35, 900; in
surance light. The rescued sailors leave
for San Francisco tomorrow. The captain
remains, awaiting orders from Agent w.
B. Hill.

HESTER HAroH.s DAUGHTER SUES.
Another Action Against the Evers
Land Company to Recover ProDerty

Another Action Against the Everett
Land Company to Recover Property.
Hester Hatch. a daughter of Mrs. jose
phine Hatch, the Indian woman who sued
the same parties last Saturday, brought
action yesterday against E. G. Ferguson,
Henry Hewitt, jr., and the Everett Land
Company to recover her interest in valu-
able property in the town of Everett. The
allegations are similar to those made in
the mothers complaint. 1t is charged
that E. c. Ferguson, the administrator of
the estate of Ezra Hatch, the father of the
plaintiff, induced the girl to sign an instru-
ment which she supposed to be an acknowl-
edgement that she was of age in order that
1t might be used in the settlement of the
estate
1t is alleged that it was in fact a deed
conveying her one-tenth of the property to
Henry Hewitt, jr., and named a consider
alton of $500. The property. all of which
Included 100 acres, was then, according to
her pleading, worth 500 an acre and is
now valued at 81. 600 an acre. Only $500 of
the $500 named was ever paid. Hewitt
made deed of the property to the Everett
Land Company.
The plaintiff asks that these conveyances
be set aside and that her title to her share
Of the property be declared perfect.

Hester Hatch Sues the Everett Land
Company - Providence Hospital
Exempt From Taxation.

Emile Morven and Henry Quinn were
on trial yesterday in Judge Humes' court
for robbing Ludwig Hovig, Swedish
rancher, of a certificate of deposit for $Sl6
on the night of February 8 at the Tycoon
saloon. Matt RIes was indicted with the
other two. but demanded and was allowed
sseparate trial.
Hovig's story was to the effect that while
sitting at table watching game between
the three men hand was dealt to him.
He knew nothing about the game, but as
soon as he picked up the hand the others
declared that he had lost $50. He insisted
that he did not have the money, and thew
took hold of him roughly in order to
Brighten him. Finally, in order to get
away, he gave them a certificate of deposit
for ss16. For change they gave him an
armful of poker chips, which they said
we're good for money. He refused to take
them, and made his escape from the
saloon. The next morning Morven had
the certificate cashed.
The story of the defendants was that
Hovig lost the money in a straight game
of cards. The case will be argued this
morning.

Hatch, widow of Ezra Hatch, against E. C.
Ferguson, of Snohomish, and some men,
bers of the Everett Land Company, for the
recovery of some 800 acres of land in
Everett of which she claims she was de-
frauded, he said:
| am pretty familiar with the matter, for

HIS HONOR WAS INDIGNANT

Police Judge Rivers Gives Police On
GERS Raking.
Quite sensation was caused in the
municipal court yesterday afternoon dur
ing the hearing of ]. Humphrey. a coiored
man, who had been arrested by Officer
Glasscock upon q charge of vagrancy. by
Judge Rivers declaring that some of the
poilcemen should not be allowed to make
arrests except on warrants.
Several vagrancy cases, which were
brought into court with not enough evil
dence to secure conviction, put Judge
Rivers in bad humor, and when the case
against Humphrey was.called for hearing
his honor was quite out of patience. Off
GERS Glasscock and Powers testified that
as far as they knew Humphrey had no
business; that he had been in the city
about two months, during which time he
loafed about the streets, taking life easy.
Officer Glasscock testified that he had been
told Humphrey was allowing a colored
woman of Whitechapel to support him.
Humphrey had two witnesses who swore
that he was running lunch counter on
Jackson street and that he was making
good money.
"The defendant is discharged" said
Judge Rivers, and then turning to City
Attorney Foster he said: 81 wish you
would investigate more carefully these
complaints before bringing them into
court"
There was an. oppressive silence and the
judge then looked at the long row of pris-
oners in the dock and exclaimed:
If there is as little evidence against these
men as there Is against Humphrey they may all
go.
The prisoners were all expectant, but the
next moment the judge said:
We will hurry on with the trials and see what
will come out. 1t is q shame the manner in
which some of these officers abuse the author
ity with which they happen to be invested. A
law should be passed making it a necessity for
them to procure a warrant before making an
arrest

THE wOMAN's HOME.
Work on the Building Will Be Resumed
at Once-A Loan.


at Once-A Loan.
The trustees and advisory board of the
Woman's Home Society held a meeting
yesterday, at which it was resolved to COM
plete the building and furnish part of it at
once. The difficulty of raising by sub
scription the $4,000 or 5000 needed for
this work has led the board to make a
loan, secured by mortgage on the prop
erty. Since the money could not be OBJ
tanned while the land and building were
in the name of the society, the trustees
voted yesterday to transfer the property
and have it held by Thomas W. Prosch
individually. He will then make applica-
ton for the loan. The society already has
81, 600 in cash and $500 in subscriptions, so
it is considered safe to resume work at
once. John Parkinson has volunteered
his services as supervising architect and
will take charge of the remaining con-
atructiOn.
