HIS OWN LAWYER

And Blackstone Proved to Bs Correct
Ed. Thomas. Porterville saloonist
arraigned in the United States court yes
terdsy for selling liquor to an Indian,
was sensibly reminded of the Black
stonian proverb that she that is his own
counsel hath fool for lawyer"
Thomas is glib talker, and when he
had finished his innocent plea. which
was nothing less than confession
without avoidance" Judge Ross was
almost persuaded to to let him 60 on his
way rejoicing, but District Attorney
Davis knew Thomas from the perni-
eious record he had made aa q whisky
seller to the bibulous red man, and he
interposed a vigorous objection to the
abject plea that the defendant made for
leniency.
Thomas vowed that he did not know
that i. was an Indian that he sold the
redeye to, and that he would have per-
mitted his right arm to be paraIyzed
before he would have done SO if he
had known the genealogy OF his GUS
TONER. No, indeed, Thomas would
not violate the revised statutes OF the
United States; he reverenced them as he
did the ten commandments, but he had
unwittingly violated them, his soul was
ovsrhewing with repentance and he
hoped the court would intermix b large
chunk of mercy in administering the
edict of the law.
Judge Ross called on the district at
torney for information. This official
told him what bad man Thomas was
and how for two years or more he had
not only sold whisky to Indians but
made it point to solicit their trade.
The time had come to suppress such
men as Thomas for they encouraged In
dians to drink whisky. The visions OF
innocence vanished from the eyes of the
court; the plea of guilty entered by
Thomas was ordered changed to mot
guilty" and he will be tried by jury.

SETTLERS STILL FIGHT.
TAB SOUTHERN PACIFIC TO GO
TO THE SUPREME COURT.
The Land Cases Not Yet SettIed-The
Settlers to Appeal to the Court of
Last Kesort-Judge Ross
Grants the Petition.

The Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany's land cases against a number of
settlers, involving about 200 600 acres,
was again before Judge Ross, in the
United States district court. yesterday.
The settlers have been much discon-
certed since the recent overruling of the
demurrer in the Arisa case in favor of
the company. This was test case, and
after the defeat of Arisa the other set
tiers eought to separate their interests,
but in this they found that all the
grounds they had to rely upon had been
covered in the case at bar. The only
relief remaining to them then was the
question OF jurisdiction, and settle
ment of that could only be speedily OBJ.
tanned by the verdict of the supreme
court.
To challenge this question another
test case, that OF Otto Groack, was
agreed upon, all of the settlers con-
tributing to the expense, and yesterday
Attorney J. II. Call, for the appellants,
made application to file papers attack
ing the jurisdiction of Judge Ross in
the premises. Judge Ross allowed the
application without argument, and the
case will be prepared at once for submiH-
sion to the court of last resort.
Under the modified rules of the su.
preme court, where there is an agreed
case, especially in causes involving jur-
isdiction and constitutional questions,
cases are permitted to be advanced for
immediate consideration. These cases
are generally heard by the full bench,
and it Is fair to presume that the va
cancy occasioned by the death of Justice
Blatchford will be filled before the Octo-
Der term begins.

cult courts were called yesterday, but

THE GORDON MATTER.

The Attorney Enters His Appearance In
the Bisbarment Matter.
Considerable interest is being mani
tested by attorneys in the city in the
disbarment suit begun in the superior
court against s. B. Gordon, ESQ.
Mr.. Gordon voluntarily entered his
appearance yesterday, by John D. Pope
and Chapman & Hendrick, his attorneys,
TO the charges made by John G. Kofoed
and wife. and asked the court to set the
case fer carly trial.
Mr.. Gerdon's friends say that the
statement made in Sundays HERALD, to
the effect that Gordon had been en-
ployed to defend the action of James F.
Cosby against John G. Kofoed, was an
error; that Gordon wss never employed
to defend the case and had nothing to
do with the judgment until long after
its rendition. Hs admits that he was
employed by Kofoed to try to borrow
money and pay his debts, hut after
much negotiation says he was unable to
borrow anything. Many suits were
brought against Kofoed and liens were
being multiplied against his property.
Finally the attempt to borrow anything
or to settle Kofoed's debts by any sort
Of adjustments with his creditors was
given up as hopeless. Gordon was dis
charged in writing, and never undertook
to represent Kofoed in any manner after
that date.
Two months after his discharge from
Kofoed's employ he was retained by
Cosby to collect his judgment against
Kofoed. Meantime. Kofoed had trans
fsrred the property which he had con.
tracted to buy of Hubbell to his wife.
Gordon claimed that he had the Cosby
execution levied and bought the prop
erty in for Cosby, notified Mrs. Kofoed
and told her that every facility would
be offered II she wished to redeem any
OF the lots. Gerdon's attorneys claim
that his condpct was perfectly upright
and honorable ill the way through and
they do not expect to have any diff

NOW WHERE ARE THEY?
ANOTHER GLOW AT THE CITY
BANK DEPOSITORs.
Tho Special Deposits Must Be Returned.
So Says Judge Pierce in q Do
cision in the Case of Mar
garet Pierce.

An order was made by Judge Pierce
yesterday, in department No. 6 Of the
superior court, in the case of Margaret
E. Miller vs. The City Bank. in the
matter OF the intervention of James M.
Rice.
The order states that on the 25th of
April, 1892, the Gila Bend Reservoir and
Irrigation company of Arizona, by a
deed, appointed the City bank it's trus-
tee to receive and held in escrow certain
water franchises, notes and agreements,
and to collect and receive money as it
should be paid upon the notes and fran
chises.
In pursuance of the deed OF trust the
COMPANY delivered to the City bank a
large number OF water franchises, notes,
contracts and other instruments.
Receiver Brodtbeck is in possession Of
the papers.
The court says that the city, bank had
not and has not now any right, title or
interest in or two the notes, etc., but
that they have been kept by II as trus-
tee, and separate and apart from the
property Of the bank.
The order was therefore made that the
receiver deliver to II. 0. Collins, attor-
ney for Mr.. Rice, all of the papers in
question, taking receipt therefor.
