LAW AS To PREFERRED STOCK.
Argument on the sykes Injunction In

yesterday 10 the application Of James Shee-

critics. The hearing was 10 determine

John Arthur eontended for the plaintiffs
that the agreement. having been made ny
Sheehsn and Morrison or one side and
Sykes and Groat on the other. could not
be changed by the company or its trus-
tees or stockholders, and that the inabil-
ity Of Sykes to provide noSey according
to his obligations cannot Justify the issu-
ance OF preferred stock TO help him out,
and that the preferred stock II issued,
would destroy the value OF the common
stock and result in freezing Sheehan and
Morrison out OF the company.
II. r. elise and George II. King, for the
defendants, claimed that the issuance of
preferred stock is 10 the advantage of all
parties, as IL Will bring the money needed
for patenting and developing the claims,
and that Sheehan and Morrison viii not be
specially injured by il, and also that the
company, through its stockholders and
trustees. has the right to issue preferred
stock Notwithstanding the agreement be-
tween the parties before the formation OF
the company. The argument will be re-
sumed next Friday afternoon.
Mining men are watching the case with
deep interest, as IL involves questions
which affect many OF their development
and corporate enterprises.

AsKAM ANSWERS THE COUNTY.
The Coroner Claims He Has Discretion

allegations set up in his complaint. is en-
titled 10 recover. The moral obligations

No Necessity for Two Receivers.

The Seattle Safe Deposit and Trust Com
pany objects TO having two receivers and
gives this as one reason why the court
should dissolve the order appointing Har-
very T. Harmon. Some time ago the Ger
man Savings and Loan Society brought an
action against tie company and obtained
the appointment of Fred Strive as receiv-
er. Later a suit was commenced by Frank
II. Osgood and others against the same
company and Harvey T. Harmon was APP
pointed I'm this case. The Safe Deposit and
Trust Company claims Harmon was ap-
pointed without notice TO il and before a
complaint had been served. There was no
emergency alleged and none existed SUM-
cient 10 justify the appointment without
giving the defendant chance 10 be heard.
In closing the court is asked to set aside
the appointment Of Harmon, as there was
already a receiver OF the property.

fraudulent scheme alleged Newman was
ordered held until today. and unless the
new Indictment which viii be drawn shall
be held 20 be valid the prisoner will be re-
leased on his own recognizance until Jan
Uary.
When the case was called the prisoners
attorney moved that the prosecution be
instructed TO elect one OF the several
counts in the Indictment on which
the case should be tried The court then
looked into the Indictment and said that Il
was very faulty, because Il was drawn
under old decisions. which had been dis
placed by later ones. He allowed the pros
ecution 70 proceed. however. under certain
limitations. and J. A. WhalIey. treasurer
OF the Post-Inteliigencer Company. was
called as the first witness. be was asked
as to the general circulation Of the Post
Intelligence, and as TO the amount OF
money that accompanied the advertise
ment- The defense then objected to any
further testimony under the Indictment,
claiming that the indictment did not zIlege
that the fraudulent use OF the mails was a
part Of Newman's scheme.
Judge Hanford said he would discharge
the jury and refer the case hack TO the
grand jury. holding the prisoner until to-
day. when he will decide whether he will
let him go on his own recognizance until
after the holidays. The court said the in
dietment should set forth f1liy the scnerne
or artifice. and IL must be shown that the
intent was carried into effect through the
mails.

10 the Tacoma Mill Company for $l.Si3
He took the mill company's ninety days
acceptance and cashed it for sl.765. The
balance OF the logs reported unsold are
still In his hands. but he thinks he will be
able TO sell them for a reasonable amount
In payment of the balance due from the
Great Western Lumber and Supply Com

mill company for 1851 and sei5 Al that
time the contractors under him, Mcdonald

work he. at their request. transferred the
1851 acceptance to Lilly, Bogardus & Co.
in payment of their claim against MoDon-
aid & Moore The balance. $50 was APP
piled to his account with Lilly. Bogardus
a. Co. and charged against him as receiv-
err After this the Yesler mill was de-
stroyed by fire and he demanded security
for the payment of the acceptances. The
lumber company turned over to him 60.0oo
feet OF logs, which he sold for S323. and
now holds the money. to be distributed
under the courts order. on the accept
ances there has been paid to Lilly. Bogar-
dus & Co. s2i3. He says that without fault
of his 100000 feet of logs were burned at
Wickersham. and that II the Seattle Safe
Deposit and Trust Company had not inter
fered they would have been moved before
the FIRE. On this account the court is
asked 20 charge the value OF the logs. 500
