LAWS OF SELF-DEFENSE,
A Peculiar Point Brought Out
by the Supreme
Court.
The Rights of an Original Aggressor
to Defend Himself Are
Defined.

One of the most peculiar questions
which has enlivened the opinions rendered
by the Supreme Court in some time was
brought into the decision of case yester-
day. The case was that of Charles Button,
who, after a trial upon charge of murder,
was convicted of manslaughter.
While out camping with several others,
and while the whole party was well under
the influence of liquor, Button assaulted
one of the party, who was lying upon the
ground in a drunken stupor, his head
resting upon a stone. Without apparent
proyocation Button jumped upon his up
turned face and stamped upon it until it
was almost unrecognizable; then, seized
with remurse, he hunted up his horse and
saddled it preparatory to leaving the camp.
While thus engaged, however, and about
fifteen minutes after his brutal assault, the
man he had attacked came after Button
with knife. He was disarmed, and then
he grabbed his rifle, and as he was ap-
preaching Button the second time. the
rifle in his hand, Button shot him. The
plea was selE.defense, in that Button had
tried TO avoid a second quarrel.
In dealing with the question the Su-
preme Court holds that he who first pro-
vokes quarrel and then tries to prevent
further alteration is allowed to defend
himself, provided the other man under
stands that such is the intention of his
opponent. Should the second man be will
fully blind to the overtures of peace being
made, he must take the consequences, but
should the original assault be of SO brutal
a nature that be is deprived of his reason
ing power, then the actions of his oppo-
nent in defending himself cannot be ak
cused by the plea of self-defense. 1t is
then practically but an assault, while in
the former case it is, in the eyes of the
court, two distinct offenses-the first with
the original assailant as the offender, the
second with his opponent as the guilty one.
The case was one from San Bernardino

A New Tariff Sheet Put Into Effect

until then"
Whatever rights any one might have
would be extinct until that time, declared
the court, and it was expressly stated that
the rights of the executors and of the
minor heirs would be included.
The attorneys filed out of the courtroom
and after a little sparring among the law

over until next Monday, the court order

What the Specialists Are Doing Daily
to Restore Health and Strength
to Sufferers,


| 1t is an established rule of the Institute that
! no fncurable diseases are taken. If an appi-
| cant is found to be suffering from true cancer
| that he cannot be cured. though much may
be done to allay his sutferings, but as medi-
cal science has yet failed to discover any cure
for these two dreadful malades, all the pnysis
clans at the Institute say freely and frankly
that it is beyond human power to remove
these evils. Nevertheless it should not be for
gotten that there are many instances where,
mistakes have been made in diagnosing these
diseases, it is we'll for all sufferers to apply
for help at the Institute.
All the following cases are durable:
Catarrh OF the head, stomach or bladder;
all bronchial diseases; all functional nervous
diseases; ST. Vitus' dance; hysteria: shaking

Mr.. Frank Wise of sacramento is q promi-
nent citizen and ranchman of that far-famed
county. He is strong, active, manly man.
He is a true son of the Republic and one OF
those who might well be termed the backbone
of the Nation His life has been full of ad-
venture, full of stern, honest work. Now, at
little past the meridian he is enjoying the
fruits of his early industry. Like all other
people, his life has been one of mingled hap
piness and sorrow The greatest unhappiness
of his life was probably the possession OF q
terrible disease. This disorder seized him as
q victim, and though he tried and labored
and followed up the advice of friends and
physicians no relief came. AT last, sore dis
tressed and with but little faith, he sought
out one of the specialists of the old Hudson
Medical Institute. Now for the rest, let him
tell his own story:

MIR. FRANK WISE,

A well-known rancher near Sacramento says:
'I desire to express my gratitude for the skill
full manner in which I have been treated by
the Hudson Medical Institute of Market and
Ellis street, San Francisco. For years l had
been afflicted with catarrh of the bladder and
nervous prostration. Had been treated by q
number of physicians without any benefit.
Life, indeed had become burden to me, an q
l had about despaired of ever getting relief.
But few months ago put myself under the
care of the physicians of the Hudson Medical
Institute.
"Betore being treated by these specialists I
was a continued sufferer, both by day and
night. My sleep was disturbed every half
hour or hour by the bladder trouble. I was
despondent and hopeless. Now I sleep
soundly all night without being disturbed;
am cheerful and hopeful, and feel that 1 have
a new lease on life. In fact, can thankfully
say that under the skillful treatment of these
doctors l have been restored TO health in every
respect, and 1 can conscientiously recommend
the staff OF physicians of the Hudson Medical
Institute to all sufferers, knowing that they
will be honorably and skillfully treated.
