UNCLE AND NIECE
Queer Marriage Developed by Lawsuit In q
San Francisco Court

odn fTauCiSCO NouTt
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2S.--Judge
Murphy has sustained the complaint in
the suit of Mary Arata against Paul
Arata. The defendant must now answer
and present his answer to one OF the most
novel actions ever made of record in the
Superior Court. The foundation of this
suit is marriage which, according to
the complaint, was solemnized in this
city on September %, 1885. 1t was an
unusual, and as afterward developed, an
illegal marriage, from the fact that the
parties occupied toward each other the
relation of uncle and niece. Out of that
relation grows the peculiar and most
startling state of facts upon which Judge
Murphy is to pass judgment
at the time of this marriage" says
Mrs Arata, ~ was scarcely Is years of
age had been born and educated in
Italy, and was entirely ignorant of the
laws governing marriage in this country.
Ny uncle knew this fact and represented
to me that under California laws a mar
rage between uncle and niece was en-
tirely proper"
The betrayed woman now declares that
she entered upon the married state be-
cause she had full confidence in her
uncles representation. They lived to-
eether as husband and wife from Septem-
Der %, 1885, until November 3, 1892. Dur
ing that time she bore to Arata two
children.
81 was good mother" she declares.
"and in every way a faithful wife. In
order to help my husband along did the
work of servant, SO that we were able
together, to accumulate property worth
nearly $12, 000."
For all this the married life of the lady
who thought herself Mrs. Arata was far
from happy. The result was divorce
suit which she commenced against her
leputed husband in November, 1898, on
the ground of extreme cruelty. The an
swer of Arata in this suit was rude
shock to the lady who had SO long con-
sldered herself his wife. 1t set forth the
fact that the parties were uncle and niece
and that, therefore, the marriage between
them was null and void. This fact could
not be disputed, and Mrs. Arata was de-
MED not only her divorce, but was also
cut off from participating in the nice
little property she had assisted to accumu-
late. This was necessarily true from the
fact that in the absence of legal mar
riage there could be no community prop
erty.
She now sues for $246O for her services
as housekeeper, and for $114S for Arata's
tenancy of her house for five years.

A SEAL ISLAND SUIT
Interesting History Coming to Light in the
Trial

Trial
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2S.-The trial
of the case OF Max Wesserman against
Louis Sloss, involving the ownership of
400 shares of stock in the Alaska Com
mercial Company and about $40, 900 of
accrued dividends, developed the fact
that in the earlier days of the company
Supreme Court Justice Stephen J. Field
held 200 shares of the stock for while,
but when an assessment of S6 share was
levied he sold it. If he had held the
stock he would have obtained 5000, 900 in
dividends within year.
The court ruled out certain questions
that would probably have brought out in
tersting evidence as to the lobbying that
was done before Congress to secure the
valuable concessions which were made to
the company.

One of Our Needs.

California towns and Phoenix, Arizo pa, have made exhibits, either periedI- cally or permanent. fl the productions of surrounding or utiguous lands ip order to draw immigration or capital.
 In Tucson we have been slow to move in that direction aud have nothing of the kind to show, although we should advertise the products of our mines and valley lands.
 There is, I think, large room aG- io,nIug the library in which this nut } desired display could be made. In sd- iltion to the display of ores and agricul- tural products, showing should be
 made of Indian wares and relics, both
 past and present, together with othe- articles of interest with which our country sbounds.
 Ores from the different mines 10 the country should ie properly labeled a. to character ard district. The latter should be shown Dy maps.
 These things would prove of interest to mining men and xoul9 attract strang CTS visiting our town. It would also sarve to instruct our young men and familiariZe them with the various class
 es of iueral bearing ores and the pro- ducts of each district.
 I think If our city council would carefully consider the matter. even ii they did nothing more than furnish g room with few glass cases ls would be beginning and donstions would follow rapidly. The investment, in my opin ion, would be good for both city and county. H.

JUST what the United States will dc in the three cornered entanglement that has arisen within the past week is P matter of great interest to all Ameri- cans.

In each case their respective governments has been prompt in cali" z the attention of the Washington author ities to the trout bles and suggesting re- paration for the wrongs done. On the other hand deliberate insult has been offered by Spanish gun boat to ar American steamer by firing at her and attempting to overhaul her on the high seas. In the settlement of these affairs we most sincerely hope that the United States will come out with ''O'd Glory undimmed, but with weak nstionsl ad dministr6t.on We must not expect too much.

he uaual commercial rates ara the lega

the uaual commercial rates ara the lega charges.
 In the articl- quoted above from the
 Star, Mr. Skinner is said to have made the statement that "the people of Gra'
 ham were paying two thousand year
 for the printing of their delinquent tax
 list" We understand that MT, Skin
 uer is a minister of the gospel, as we'll
 az a member ot the ArIzona legislature.
 It is to be presumed that a man hold
 Ing two such high positions of trust
 would not willfully misrepresent fact, and if statesmen of Skinner's ability and entirely free from guile, makes an erroneous statesment it is due to ignor- ance and nothing else. The Bulletin will receive for the year 1894 for pub fishing the delinquent tax list or Gra- ham county, according to law, the sum of s6O6. "; more than two thirds less than g.. 900, as Skinner mlsrepreseDtedt to his colleagues.
 It is true that the published deiin- ouent lists in the several counties, IS in excess of what under reasonablec c nserv. ative legislative appropriations 1t should be. The fault is not with the people. Zoo much liberahty on the part of the at Phoenix in scattering with lavish hand the money of the tax payers is the cause. AppropriatIng large sums to every apparently feasible and plausible scheme accounts for the large | tax list, so justly complain sd of. A stream can not rise higher han its source.
 Again we cry halt to the legislatur@, nd suggest to MT. Skinner that dnrln. he present Lenton session he go lnto etrest and commune W tn himself.
