Of the Superior Court, in the libel case of
c. II. Gilman against the Bee. has awarded
tue plaintiff $500. Gilman was arrested
over a year ago On complaint of his ser
want girl, who charged him with feloni-
Gus assault upon her. The Bee published
the fact of the arrest and the woman's
story on which the warrant was issued.
together with Gilman's statement as made
al The Bee office. Suit was brought for
this publication. Gilman claiming the paper
had Do right TO publish the story. as he
had denied it. The court holds that the
Bee having failed TO prove to the satisfac-
ton of the court that Gilman committed
the assault as charged must pay damages,
which because of mitigating circumstances
are placed at $500. The court says the
evidence shows the publishers believed
the charge to be true and acted without
malice, but as the plaintiff denied the
truth of the charges they deliberately as
sumed the risk by TIE publication.

lowed each other in rapid succession. but
while there were known to be 260 mem bers
on the floor, the nearest the Democrats
came to quorum was 172, seven less than
a quorum. Late in the afternoon the
Democratic members held con Insulation,
and the result was that the Committee on
Rules was directed 10 come to the assist
anre of the House, and tomorrow morning
a special rule will be brought in. covering
not only the O'Neil-Joy case, but probably
also the Hilborn- English case from the
Third California District.
At 4:07 an attempt to get a quorum
failed, and the House adjourned.
The majority of the members of the
Committee on Rules yesterday prepared a
special rule which is intended TO dispose of
two contested election cases tomorrow. 1t
provides for coupling the 0'NeilJoy and
the English Hilborn cases together. al
lowing two hours debate on both sides,
each case to be voted on separately and
disposed of without intervening motions.
