first he saw of the boy was when ne was
lying between the rails. There were a
great many boys around the track, who
are great annoyance to the trainmen.
1t is so almost every night, and they
have to drive them away. They had
just run up the track with three cars, but
he did not know how many ran over the
boy.
Engineer Robinson and Fireman Jones
testified to the same facts. The boys have
given them great deal Of trouble while
switching.
l.. +. Mcmillan, the boy's half brother,
had seen him playing around the tracks
at different times.

INSOLVBNT NUNBS.
suit to Amend Conveyance Made to
His Wife.

His Wife.
George E. Dierssen, assignee of the
estate Of Frank Nunes. an insolyent
debtor. has, by his attorney, C. Nj. Beck
with, brought suit in the Superior Court
against Nunes to have Cancelled and set
aside conveyance made by him to his
wife. Mary Nunes. of piece of land ad-
joining the levee on the east bank of the
Sacramento River.
Nunes was declared an insolvent debtor
on the I'd Of last June, and Dierssen was
elected assignee of the estate by the
creditors. When Nunes made the con-
veyance to his wife he was indebted to
Dierssen and number of other persons,
and the complaint alleges that he made
the conveyance for the purpose of de-
trauding his creditors Of their claims, and
to prevent them from enforcing their de-
mands against the land by judgment or
execution. Suit was therefore brought
by the assignee to declare the conveyance
null and void.

Of her victory was lost by the

But nearly three-quarters Of the
