1t is conceded that whatever fight there may
be in any ward on local affairs, Judge Hen
shaw's chances for a solid delegation In his in-
terests for The Supreme bench will not be inn
paired. He viii have every vote cast in the
State Convention from his county.
II looked for a time yesterday as if there
might be tickets IN the field IN every ward
favorable TO w. r. Davis for Governor, and
names were mentioned as delegates and u
was thought there might be a stormy time at
the polls for this reason, but those having
charge of the Davis light withdrew from the
contest.
There were protests, too, from many of those
whose names had been used. Oh the Davis
ticket They said they had no feeling against
Mr.. Davis al all, but werr not consulted as Ia
the use OF their names and would not serve a s
delegates II elected.
+. R. Porter has had the Davis fight in
hand, and yesterday gave out the following fOI
publication:
Sir: The proposition on the part of the friends
OF William X Davis TO run straight ticket, favor
able to him for Governor, at the Republican pri-
mary election in this county tomorrow. has been
modified, aud, instead, said will be pro-
NOTED by the operation of a less positive policy.

Oakland, Cal. May 25. 1894
When Mr.. Davis was shown the above he
said: Il know nothing whatever about II, and
have nothing whatever TO say on the subject"
Upsetting the Prosecution.
In the MaIheny case yesterday Judge Budd
cast bOmbshell into the camp OF the prosecu.
ton when lie ruled against introducing testl-
mony to show the association OF Mathew with
Joseph TOuhill. the burglar who was shot at
kuhnle's saloon the night it Is alleged Matheny
killed Cashin.
The prosecution were endeavorIng TO link the
two together by the testimony of Mrs. Meyers,
the san Francisco l0dging-hOuse keeperawho
rented rooms TO them, but judge Budd stopped
them short by ruling that u had little bearing
on the case whether the men were intmateS or
not The prosecution Stoutly fought the ruling
and finally Judge Budd said he was ready TO
scan authorities If the prosecution would fur
nish them, and 1t was agreed that they would.
Ii this ruling of Judge Budd should stand il
is thought il will knock a very material prop
from under the case Of the people.
z,
is a new witness, testified yesterday that the
DAY before The burglary and shooting at
kuhnle's saloon TOuhill and Matheny came 10
his shop to gel $40 piece changed, nd after
ward stood IN front OF his place and looked over
IL as though "siZing II up" That night IL was
burglarlzed. When he said he saw them the
defense says Matheny was in Sausaliio.
Mrs. Rodgers OF Alameda said she saw Math-
eDy on the local train on the same day. She
knew him because he had formerly worked for
her brother as clerk In hotel.

Not Able to Agree.
Justice Cliff yesterday filed papers In two
divorce cases as an attorney.
The first case Is that of Frances A. Atkinson
against William Atkinson, who asks for a
divorce on the ground of extreme cruelty. The
AtknsOns live at $50 Washington street, and
Mrs. Atkinson says her husband, who Is tie
taIher-in-aw of Supervisor PlunketI, has
Treated her with the utmost cruelty. She
charges that GU one occasion he struck her,
breaking her cheek bone, and that at another
time he threw lighted lamp at her, and that
she is in constant fear OF him.
Justice ClTPs other case is that of Manuel
de MellO CODral against Marcenna de Mello
Cobrai, who asks for a separation on the
ground of de seiIion. The couple were married
in the Azores Islands twenty years ago. aud
sixteen ye4rs ago he came TO this country, and
although he has frequently requested it his
wife win not come to bin. She declines 10
leave her sunny island home, and for This red
sou Cobi al wants the knot binding him 10 her
united
Sprague's Close Cali.
T. Cotton of the firm of Cotton Bros, who
was visiting at Boulder Creek at the time OF
The Azoff robbery and was on the scene shortly
after til flight of the desperate man, tells a
story of the ARRAY that has not been generally
given 10 print.
Sprague was assisting Detective Harris in
the capture, but this was not known. He was
believed TO be an accompllce OF AZoff, and
when he and AZoff came suddenly upon con-
stables on the depot grounds and Sprague was
taken prisoner the crOwd was determined 10
lynch hlAI.
MR. Cotton interfered aud declared the true
character OF the prisoner, and asked that action
be delayed until Harris could be seen. This was
done aud Harris told them that Sprague was
his assistant. Had Harris been killed on the
spot, Srrague would undoubtedly have been
lynched, as no one short OF San francisco knew
his real character.
