TRYING A BASQUE LAWSUIT
Melodious Sounds Fill Judge McKinley's
Department
Chattei Mortgage Alleged to Have Been
Given FrauduIently Brings nany shep.
herds Into Court

Judge Mckinley and the other officials
who make up the court in department
six OF the superior court all looked very
weary yesterday afternoon and the learn
ed Judges lett ear dropped SO much that
1t had to be braced With little gold
cham to prevent it from folding inward
ly. All this tired feeling was produced
by listening to the testimony in the case
of Ramon Espinal, who sued Francisco
Ermigarat, Miguel Egart and Pedro So--
zobal to have chattel mortgage upon
1900 sheep on the pa ranch, San Bernar-
dino county. given to secure the payment
of $4,000, declared void. because it was al
legged to have been given fraudulently to
prevent the plaintiff from collecting
S20lS. 30 due him.
Plaintiff, defendant and witnesses are all
Basques, and speak nothing else. The
Basque language is confessedly the only
one which St. Peter. the greatest linguist
ever known, by reason OF his present po-
sitIon OF trust, never could acquire, and
small blame attaches to him for it. Near
ly every word terminates in ak or kak.
In reply 10 one question the answer
sounded something like the following:
lax givak youak theak moneykak ifak
youak giyak m eak securitykak.
The whole case was drawn on slml liar
soft-sounding vocals. and every body who.
heard the volleys OF musical Eskualdun
language fled precipitateiy from the
room. fearing that one of the big words
might smlte him in the tympanum so
that deafness would result.
The case has now been on two days,
and from all appearances it will not be
concluded until every word in the Basque
dictionary has had a chance to be flung

FAULTY COMPLAINT
Were the Parents Who Sued for Damages
Their Sons Heirs

Judge York yesterday sustained the de-
murrer of the Southern California Rail
way company. defendant in an action for
damages brought BY Andres and Nativi-
dad RAMIREZ with leave granted plain
tiff to amend the complaint.
The suit is to recover $4,000, and is
brought by the parents of young man
VINO was % years old when he was killed
by train OF the company cars on the
18th of November, 1893. While the plain
tiffs showed that they were the parents
of the deceased, they failed to allege that
they were his heir. The statutory provi-
eion which sustains an action by parents
for the death of an adult son provides
that it must be founded on the fact that
they are his heirs As che complaint did
not say whether Ramirez was single or
married or left legitimate children, the
corporation cannot tell the ultimate facts
upon which plaintiffs heirship is found
ed, which it has right to know IN order
to meet the issue.

THE MAKING OF DOLLS
Germans have Gradually Monopolized a
Large Business for the Enjoyment of the
Little Folks.

FROM the tow of Sonneberg, near Co.
burg, in Germany, more than a hundred
million dolls are exported annually, the en-
tire population of 10000 being engaged in
the manufacture of dolls and toys. This
industry was formerly almost entirely Brit
isb, but the cheap labor of women a nd
children in Germany and the close proxim-
ity Of the Thuringian woods have driven
Great Britain out of the doll trade. except
in two branches that of supplying rag dolls
and the finest wax dolls.
Both in Germany and in the different
parts of the Tyrol, where toy-making is car
ried on, the services of children are, largely
employed, owing to the work being very
much subdivided Almost every branch Of
doll-making is regarded as distinct labor,
and the workpeople who make the arms are
employed exclusively upon this work, and
are never in4rusted with the putting
OF the hair or the insertion of the eyes,
which are again separate branches. The
WORK is carried on at the homes of the
people for the most part, though large fac
ries where all workers are gathered under
one roof are getting more common, the
subdiy ison of the labor being, however,
rigitlly maintained. For the production Of
the cheap composition doll no less than.

twenty different people employed ex-
elusive of those who man ufacture the raw
material for the hair and eyes. The pro-
cess of making composition dolls head.is
carried out in this way. A soft pulpy sheet
of pasteboard is placed over mold repre-
senting half a head cut vertically behind
the ear. and then is forced by means of
pestle into every crevice. Another mold
for the other half of the head is then SINH
larly filled, and, when nearly dried, the
two halves are removed from the mold
aud pasted together. The head thus mold
ed, which becomes quite hard, and cannot
spoil however long retained, is then coated
with composition of size and whiting, and
after this washed over with oil and tIrpen-
tine. The next step is the insertion of the
eyes. which is the exclusive work of one
skilled man. He cuts out the socket, fixes
the eyeball on the top of his right forefin-
ger with lump of paste, and then puts 1t
into place inside the head, manipulating it
and SKIING it at its right angle with paste.
The wax is then cut off from the eyes, and
scraped from that part of the head covered
by the hair; and the head is now ready fol
the finishing touches. These last delicate
details are always done by expert orkmeI,
the adjustment of the eyebrows, eyelashes.
and SO forth especially in wax dolls, req uir
ing great dexterity and nicely.
For cheap dolls. mohair is used, real hair,
which is very expensive, being. however,
used for the best wax dolls. Tho nohair

and witnessed aAe torturing and butcher

the corpse of her mother, crying most
piteously.
The girl stated that the robbers de-
manded supper, which was hastily pre-
pared for them. Several jugs of wine
were brought from the distillery, after
which the Captain (pointing to one of
the wounded Mexicans) said: Let's kill
the Gringosl" They seized her mother
and father, when she ran and hid. "1'hey
hunted for me long time and came
several times within few feet of me, :"
said the little girl. After mother had
been killed they went to where father
was tied to the tree and pitched knives
at him. Sometimes the knives would
90 through his body and sometimes miss
and stick into the tree. They kept on
drinking. some of them bringing the
wine from the distillery. O, it was aw-
full to see my mother and father murdered
and to hear their cries!" said the little
girl
Then there was silence for a moment,
silence of grief and determination. AS

loosed the coils of rope from their sad
dies, yet no command had been given.
Men divided into squads, and each one
of the Mexicsns was soon dashed to

each other they were gagged" AS we
wished to prolong their sufferlngs our
men now were told to practice knife
throwing, but to be particular and not
make a center strike. Sometimes it
would be an ear cut off, and next
slit in the cheek, or the knife would be
thrown through the body, lmpal1ng the
writhing Mexican to the tree, as he had
done to the inoffensive American.
Finally, however, the men became i'm
patient, and, allowing their rage full

on bayonets and thrust into the flames
one by one. There they were held UNI
