THE NEWS-STAR MIDDLE.
Some Extraordinary Evidence Given
Before Judge Noonan This
Morning

The application of J. y. BOr-
roughs to vacate the order appoint
ing f. J. Caldwell as receiver, was
again before Judge NOonan this
morning.
Mr.. Oscar BergstrOm, was for
the applicant, and introduced Mr..
O. GuesSaZ, who showed how he
was the nominally owner of the
News, and was advancing money
to pay running expenses to help
his friends, and keep the paper
going.
Then came {. +. RusSi, who
claimed that he owned the type
and property of the News and had
transferred it to Mr.. Burroughs.
With this he had also transferred
the majority Of the stock, for
which the stockholders paid cash,
and for which he never paid cent.
He admitted receiving only the
money paid for shares but did not
show how the money was disposed
Of. He said that he had bought
the type and the material for the
News and loaned it to them at -
per month but, as far as he remem-
bpred, no rental had ever been
paid. He had sold to Mr.. Bur
roughs in good faith after eX-
planning that the company was
then practically insOlent, Mr.. BOr-
rOughs paid him 500 of which
some 500 went to TheO-
dore KunZmann. Then came
II. :. Ellis, who described
himself as business manager of
tn Star-News. He had paid 5000
per month, or rather secured it by
bondsmen, for the circulation of
the News, then rated at $500. He
found less than 500, and he only
paid fifty dollars. Under an agree
ment produced BOrrOughs, 10.
Hamilton and himself had formed
co-partnership in which all the
property of the News Publishing
company, Russi ct al, was trans
ferred to a new cOmpany-BOr-
roughs, Ellis and HamiltOn-each
of whom was TO receive a third of
the profits, and in this agreement
the stockholders We're ignored, but
they were considering now an
other agreement not yet made
- in which all stockholders
came in pro rata. That was after
the agreement was signed, and con-
siderably after the injunction. He
had since sold the combined circu-
latiOn of the Star and the News,
which was under l,2OO bona fide
subscribers. There had been no
balancing of books since the new
agreement, and he believed the
business was run at loss.
The hearing was then continued
until 10 o'clock tomorrow, when
the defence, under Mr.. r. F. Blair,
will take the floor and show some
startling revelations.

"Young Corbett's" Fight.

CHICAGO, July 24.-TwO matches
were made in June by the Column
bian Athletic club, one in the
heavyweight division, the other
between two lightweights. 1t is
the latter fight, which creates the
greater interest, by reason of the
men who are behind the princi-
pals. Champion James j. COrbett
affixed his signature to articles of
agreement calling for finish con-
test with a young Frisco boy whose
identity is shrouded under the
name of young Corbett". All
that the champion will
admit in the premises
is that "Young Corbett" is not a
member of Pompadour Jim's fam
lily. His opponent will be Paddy
Smith, brother of "Denver" Ed,
who will also find the money for
him. The articles provide for a
purse of S., 800, of which the win.
ner is to receive $3,2j0 and the
loser $3.50. The men are to meet at
1873 pounds, with give or take al
lOwance of two pounds, weighing
in on entering the ring. The time
for the contest is 9 p. m. tonight.
An interesting feature of the battle
will be the appearance of Jim Cor
bett behind his prOtege and "Den-
yer" Ed Smith behind his brother.

is somewhat heavier. The type is
clear cut and of good size, and the
press work and binding of the best.
The feature of this catalogue which
puts it in the lead Of the news

complete record of all their con-
tracts, as we'll as an index to all
their record books, newspaper files,

"Oh, have made two plowshares oil

And nailed the shoes on many O horses

And oh, my friend, cannot tell you
The man Of muscle answered with O

A pIsGUsrED DRUNKARp.

One woman determined that her husband
ehould know how he looked when he was
drunk. She knew how he looked we'll
enough, and needed not that any man should
tell her. Her childred also knew by sad ex-
perience, but the man himself had very i'm
perfect idea of the state of the case. So
once when he came home and fell into
maudlin slumber she sent for the photog-
rapher to come forthwith ; and on his arrival
she set him to work She ordered the pho
tographer to photograph her husband as he
rat in his chair. The photographer did his
work and did it we'll and when the photo
graph was finished and laid beside the hus
bands plate at breakfast it was revelation,
and the sobered gentleman experienced
decidedly new sensation. There was no need
of explanation the thing explained itself.
There was no chance for contradiction the
bun tells no lies, There was no room for
argument. There was only one thing to do,
and that was TO quit and it is very fortunate
that the man haa courage and sense enough
70 do it.
