BELLINGER VS.. CRASW ELL.
The Famous Breach of Promise Case
Before the Court Of Appeals.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 3.-[Spec:ai. THE
United States circuit court OF appeals
was occupied all day today listening
TO the Seattle breach of : promise
case of Miss Bellinger against Robert III.
Craswell, of Canada. James Hamii-
ton Lewis is here arguing che case
on appeal for Craswell. He raised
three principal points upon which he
asks that the verdict of $4,000 received by
Miss Bellinger be set aside. tie centended,
first. that the plaintiff could nGs legally
maintain suit against Craswell in
the United States courts, he being
subject of England, unless she
showed he was not resident of
Washington; that it was only corpora
tons which could have citizen ship in one
place and many residences: that shere was
no Jurisdiction in Judge Hanford's court
to give judgment against Craswell, as
nothing appeared to show that Craswell
was not a citizen Of Washington 9shen the
suit was filed. the petition only showing
his foreign citizenship at the date it was
filed; also that, as the marriage contract
was to be performed in Canada and
was broken in Canada that ahe En-
glish law applied, there being no
on the subject, and such con ract not
being shown to be performed within
year was void under the English statute OF
frauds, it not being in writing: also, as
the third main conteation, thas as the
contract was to be performed in
Montreal and was refused By defendant
there the plaintiff cannot maintain any
suit against defendant until she SHOWS she
could have legally contracted mar
riage under the Canadian laws, that she
was of legal age and no . barriers
existing. Lewis presented many other
points, but the court was very r.uch dis
turbed over the jurisdictional question, it
appearing that the petition being attacked
by counsel was the one filed for Craswell
himself by his former counsel who tried
his cause.
Tyler & Reardon. for Miss Issllinger,
insisted that as none of the points
raised here in this court weEs raised
by the counsel who tired the
case, this court could not now consider
them; that it was too late to ralse them,
and that the verdict ought to staad. The

points and reserved their decision

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 3-The bloodiest
fight in Magofin county's history took
place today mile from Salyerville.
Eight or ten of the county's best-known
citizens were engaged on each side, armed
with repeating rifles and navy pis-
tolls, and the trouble, which had its in
ception in trivial matter the
day before, eliminated in pitched battle.
John Davis was killed by pistol shot, said
TO nave been fired after he had been dis
abied and disarmed. W. E. Deskins, a
constable, was fatally wounded by a shot
in the right side. Monteville Deskins.
justice Of the peace, has not
been found since the fight and
Is supposed to be fatally wounded.
Sheperd Cole, coroner OF the county, re-
ceived some fearful blows with dubbed
gun. and may die. Bruce Patrick was
shot through the bowels, and is reported
to be dying. ". T. Patrick received a rife
ball alongside the head and at first was sup
posed to be dead, but he rallied and the
physicians say he will live if there has
been no conclusion of the brain.
Reports as to who is Immediately re-
sponsible for the terrible affair are con-
hlctlng, and it is not even known who
fired the fatal shots. The trouble origi-
mated as follows: George Rsner ana
Samuel Risner had been brought
here this morning by Coroner Cole
and strong guard. charged. under a
warrant issued by Monteville Deskins,
with an assault On W. T. Deskins. The
coroner committed the dangerous impro-
priety OF making guard of persons who
were identified with the prosecution and
for whose protection the warrant had been
issued. This was resented by the
friends of the prisoners, and both
sides came to town heavily armed.
The prisoners were returned before
Police Justice George Fl. Turner and, the
commonwealth not being ready for trial.
they were released under bonds. Some
loud talking on the part of one of the
Risners nearly rrecipitated a fight in
town, but prompt interference by the
authorities prevented it. The fight took
place an hour later. No arrests have been
made and it is feared another fight is i'm
minent.
