we kept it up until was called to be ex-

Two deputies escorted me to department
two of the superior court and there l was
looked at by Drs. Ainsworth, Wernigk

asked me questions, none Of which an

few days" counseled the third, and to
his side of the case they finally leaned.
All of them seemed to be impressed with
the idea that | was insane, and had not
been recognized would have undoubtedly
been sent to the asylum in few days.
''Slow and sure" seemed their motto,
and it was finally decided TO postopne the
matter for few days, and was sent to
the Jail again.

mated. In a few moments l saw the

iously like Attorney Meserve's, and the
fair visitor was forced to be content
with fairly good view of my pedal ex-
tremities.
Later, heard the exclamation. "That's

sheriffs, and knew that they had pene-
trated my incognito. but resolved to
brave the matter out. This determination

truth of the prisoners remarks and at 9
O'Clock p. III. was called to be re-exam-
ined. This time the doctors decided in
most positive manner that | was in full
possession of my mental faculties and
the insanity complaint was dismissed.
AS | was about to leave the court room

charge, the complaint be ing as follows:

for this, but waited In vain. The tin
pail remained un the sidewalk where it
was dropped and there seemed hone to
succor the girl nor to redress my wrong.
Later in the evening l posted several
placards in various conspicuuos places
setting forth in bold characters written
with blue lead pencil the tact that L.
Harry Mcknight, was the applicant for
the position of car of South America,
coupled with the information that was
the unhappy father of two wives, one
living and one in San Diego.
This move might have been success, as
1 saw several prominent and influential
citizens sitting on the hotel porch in the
mOrnlng reading one of my cards. "
But they failed to nominate myself AS

fess the fact.

Warren with lunacy but when the young
man got into Judge Clark's hopper and
the doctors ordered him committed to a
padded cell in the Jail he weakened and
told Under Sheriff Clements the story.
''Mr. Clements informed Judge Clark
OF the fake at p. m. today, and that
gentleman sent for Warren. When the
young man came into court Judge Clark
asked him what his reasons were for tri-
fling with the court. and attempting to
deceive him. to which MIR. Warren made
evasive answers.
"Thereupon Judge Clarke ordered War
rem into the custody of the sheriff, and
things began to assume a serious aspect.
Deputy District Attorney Willis was
instructed to prepare com plant charg-.
ing Warren with contempt of court in
pretending to be an inasne person, and
when brought up for examination being
disorderly, contemptuous and insolent
towards Judge Clark, and was guilty of
conduct tending to interrupt the due
paitment of justice. in that he deceived
and trltied with the court.
Finally Warren was admitted to bail
in the sum of $l000 and rrial OF the case
will occur on Thursday morning."
The hastiest comparison of this novel
ette with the true state of affairs reveals
the fakologist. At no time did l attack
a constable, nor did that gentlem an
swear to a COM plaint. Neither was | at
any time disrespectful TO the court. the
contempt proceedings being of teen
nical and not personal construction.
Nothing was said by me to Judge Clark
that could be construed by the worthy
journalist who handled the matter
for the Express into contemptuous
answer, and the statements made by him
are purely malicious. And / am led to
believe that either bis brain was slightly
affected by the proceedings referred to. or
else the gentlemen perception must be
weakened by excessive overwork.

Captain Donelan. an Irish Nationali st
member representing Queenstown, and
therefore interested in a rival route, gave
notice to Sir Edward Cray. under secre-
tary of foreign affairs. that he would ask
him this question: whether the resolu-
ton signed by Sir Julian Pauncefote
asserts that the st. Louis has demonstra-
ted the Inauguration under American
auspices of a new era in The history of
ocean traffic, and whether in view of
the fact. that such action on the part of
the ambassador may be taken charge OF
to advertise the line OF a foreign COM
pany against the British line ships. which
have invariably proven their superiority
on both the outward and homeward pas
sages between this country and New
York 4" He will request Sir Julian Paun-
cefote to substantiate the statement con-
tanned in the resolution or withdraw his
signature from it.

JAY GOULD'S MILLIONS
Heirs in New York Still Fighting for thu
Fortune

Fortune
NEW YORK, June 1s.-Suri ogate Ran
son has granted the application OF George
j. Gould and other executors OF the es-
tate of the late Jay Gould to send back to
David Mcclure, the appraiser, the ques-
tion of the appraisement OF the estate so
that report may be made on the ex-
penses of administration
Mr.. Mcclure, as appraiser, reported
some time ago that the value of the per-
sonal property was $50, e35, $50. The real
estate was valued at about 81. 000 600. The
appraiser deducted the sum OF So. 600. 600
from the personal property as an in.
debtedness of the estate to George J.Gould
and after deducting the payments, the
total value of the reslduary estate was
placed at $-3, 224 567
Mr.. Mcclure did not make any allow
ances for, the com issions of the executors
or expens ses of the administration OF the
estate. Pending a settlement OF this
question the sum of $4,000, QUO was paid
by the executors into the state treasury
under protest, as a collateral Inheritance
tax. Under the will the four executors
receive each $4,000 year as their com.
mission. In addition, the expenses OF
the estate VIII be about $3.50. 600. 1t is
claimed for the estate that all these ex-
penses should be deducted from the resi-
due before any tax is fixed.
