THE FAMOUS PRATT SUIT
Transferred Yesterday to East
 ern Courts.
A Brief History of the Litigation and the Terms Under Which It
 was Transferred.

A large volume of litigation was transferred yesterday from the district court at Phoenix to the courts of New York and New Jersey. It was the mat ter at issue between Mrs. Catherine C.. Pratt and Boody McClellsnd & Co.,, the we'll known stockholders of New York city. Mrs. Pratt is mother of the Pratt Bros. of Phoenix. David A. Boody, of the ockbrokers' firm, was for many years mayor of Brooklyn and a Tammany candidate.
 Many readers of THE REPUBLICAN are familiar with the case, which is briefly as follows: In March, 1889, Chas. E. Pratt loaned $15, 900 toJ. D. Monihon, the security being a mortgage on the Monihon block. Hs subsequently, en- gagged in stock speculation through Boody McClelland & Go. and deposited, or assigned, this mortgage with them along with other collateral to cover his transactions. Pratt afterward died and his widow claimed to have made an arrangement by the payment of $500 by which the assignment of the mortgage was released, but she de- posited it with Boody, McClelland x Go. for safe keeping. She continued to draw the interest accruing upon it un- til last July.
 Repudiating the arrangement alleged by Mrs. Pratt to have been made Boody McClelland & Go. sent the assignment executed by Chas. E. Pratt here to be recorded. Its arrival was accidentally discovered and pend ing correspondence between Recorder Osborn and Boody McClelland & Co.,, Messrs. Fitch & Campbell for Mrs. Pratt obtained an order enioIning it's recording.
 Messrs. Kibbey & Israel for the stock brokers, filed motion to vacate the in- junction. Judge Baker being disquali- fled the matter was heard by Judge Sloan who denied the motion. While the assignment was thus tied up here suits and cross suits were begun in the courts of New York and New Jersey presenting the same issue.
 The mortgage fell due OF March "A of this year; Mr. Monihon was desirous to pay it but there was apparently no one authorized to receive payment. The money was accordingly deposited in the Arizona National bank.
 Yesterday there arrived in Phoenix MT. W. c. Wallace, an congressman from Brooklyn district, representing Boody, McClelland x Go. An allround stipulation was entered into by which the injunction was vacated, the assign ment was recorded, the mortgage was satisfied by Boody, McClelland & Go. and settlement of the dispute was transferred to the courts of New Jersey and New York without prejudice. By the terms of the stipulation Mrs. Pratt is entitled to retain the interest col lected on the mortgage note and the ices of her attorneys were paid by Boody, McClelland & Go. and her bonds men in the injunction proceedings are relieved of all liability.

KNOCKED BLAKEY OUT.
Painful Adventure of the Champion
 Lightweight.

About o'clock yesterday morning as Charles Blakey, the lightweight prize fighter, was leaning carelessly against a post at the corner of Washington and First streets gang of five Mexicans came along.
 The Mexican is not usually quarrel some, but this particular crowd was of another kind of Mexicans. They were after professional blood. The first definite impression Blakey had of their presence was kick in the side that started three ribs. The Mexicane seemed to be adopts in the Savette, at any rate they made no use of their hands. Before Blakey could get his breath after the first onslaught kicks were showered upon him with de- moralizing frequency. He was kicked after he was down and kicked into the middle of the street. While the Mexi- cans were playing foot ball with him Officers Briggs and Blankenship formed flying wedge and scattered the Mexi- can line. Three of the Mexicans were knocked down and two escaped. Blakey never had clear impression of the proceedings, notwithstanding his prominence in it, but thought he was being mobbed by an indignant crowd. He took advantage of the diversion in

mess of the pultaceous pabulum
in its editorial section to vain
effort at trying to bride the Ha-
waiians into joining the Annexa-
ton Club and supporting W. G.
Smith S candidacy for seat in the
Advisory Council by pledging
them vote in case of annexation.
And it did this in face of the fact
that the FIVE Commissioners to
Washington had carefully pro-
vided in their proposed treaty
that there should be no voting in
this country. The Advertiser
with more consistency and less
hypocrisy. If with greater tyranny
denounced the idea of giving
Hawaiiians a vote, and as late
as its weekly issue of November
l4th secuted the idea of
giving in for moment to 1.-The

every man as such has the right

they represent neither the actual
nor the assessed value of these
