SAN BERNARDrNo, June 21.--The suit
brought forward against ]. y. Purdy by
the county to condemn his slaughter
house 90 nuisance, which began in
Judge Campbelps department of the
superior court yesterday, was continued
today. The proceedings have been
marked by several very amusing incl
dents. Neither aide is lacking when it
comes to witnesses, as long list were
called by each side. The court was
compelled to call halt as each witness
virtually repeated the same style OF
testimony. The prosecution rested at
noon, and the defence began the intro
duction OF testimony. They brought
forward twenty-five witnesses. The case
will probably not 60 to the jury before
tomorrow. It is case that has at
tracted considerable attention, and the
outcome is looked for with interest.
