is one in which heavy damages are
claimed as COM ensation for the death of

between one of the electric cars and one
of the Terminal lines trains. 1t is con-
tended that the conductor of the electric

were no oncoming trains. The car had
about half crossed the rails when the de-

New Suits Filed


The following new suits were yesterday
filed in the office of the county clerk:
G. H. Strong VS.. D. J. Carpenter ct oil.
The plaintiff is owner of twenty acres of
lanu in the rancho addition to San Jose,
which is valued at So 900, with incum-
brances aggregating $3425. In May of the
present year an agreement was entered
into between Strong and Carpenter by
which they mutually determined that
the above property be conveyed to the
defendant, and should receive as consid-
Grafton deed TO certain lands IN Lyon
county, Iowa, which was also subject to
certain incum brancess. This was done
but when Carpenter presented to Strong
the abstract of title to the Iowa property
the latter found that the title to the tract
of land did not lie with the defendant,
but contrarywise, showed a Conveyance to
another in August, 1894. the same being
foreign to the claim of title made by the
defendant. The plaintiff consequently
claims recession OF the deed OF convey
ance of his property to the defendant and

1t is difficult to say whether the old
fellow is rogue or TO 81, but opinion seems
to incline to the theory that he is about
half crazy. Yesterday, upon being
brought before Judge Smith to plead he
knelt down and in semi-audible voice
murmured long prayer. This has he
come his custom, anu when he makes his
appearance force of habit is so strong
with some OF the attorneys that almost
involuntarily their heads are bent before
they fully realize that the words being
uttered are the i.l-digested ram blings of
man suffering from a dangerous craze.
Upon being called upon to enter his
plea he, with considerable assurance,
said: mot guilty." in his squeaky
voice. His trial was set for Novem Der
Sth, but it is likely he will be examined
with view to determining mis- mental
status before that date.

the board of trustees of Pasadena passed

tended, in the case of Fluke. that in so
acting the trustees had no warrant of

by the consent of the district attorney
the defendant was allowed to go free on

The point raised, whether a person
charged with vagrancy is entitled to
jury trial, is much moeted one, and it
has been commended that under the
Whitney law such prisoner can make
no such demand. Certain sections of the
act are worded in rather ambiguous
fashion, and it is probable that several of

S25.000 In Fees From Divorce Clients
 This Year-only Four Weeks Necessary

 A man with q ticket to Arkansas City, Kan, and cosmopolitan air alighted from the train from the east and after breakfast sa3ntered to the office of the ticket seller and asked for Q ticket to Oklahoma Tn reply to the question what particular part of the land of the bandits and sandstorrns he desired to visit, he replied that it made no particular difference to him and re- marked to the ticket seller:

 The journeyings of divorce seekers to Oklahoma are simply astonishing. On the through trains are to be found numerous passengers who are silent and indifferent to all local surroundings.
 A member of legal firm, having one member in each of the three largest towns in the territory, informed the correspondent that his firm would at the present rate collect $25, 000 this year from divorce clients alone h Guthrie there is large hotel which makes 6 speciality of this class of patrons, and its guests are designated as the divorce colony. Special hotel rates are secured by the lawyers for their clients for the four weeks necessary to the quick and painless operation of divorce. Many of these visitors are registered under as- sumed names and are credited to almost any other city than the one where they reside
 The romances resulting from a four weeks sojourn in this colony are almost as varied as they are numerous. One of the most exciting shooting incidents in Oklahoma City in recent months was between 6 Buffalo sporting man and the lawyer who had inst assisted his wife to procure a divorce. While attending some of the early spring races the man from Buffalo learned that his wife was visit ing Oklahoma City. Thinking that it was about time she returned home, he suddenly landed in that wild and woolly town. He quickly le;. aed that lot only had his wife secured an absolute divorce from him, but, further, that she and the lawyer were to be married on the fol- lowing day. The Buffalo man went gum ming and is now in the hospital, where he is rapidly recovering from danger ous bullet wound. while the newly mar ried couple are lowering about the Gold en Gate.
 The law under which the territorial courts are organized is both peculiar and practical. The probate judge issues all licenses to marry and also superintends the divorce lasll, signing all decrees of divorce. Ill some counties, notably at the territorial capital, the probate judge purchases his marriage license blanks by the hundred and his blank divorees by the thousand. This particular judge has several times made the mistake when applied to for 8 marriage permit of ask ing the applicant whether he had yet consulted q lawyer as to tho specific grounds on which he made his applica- tioa.-New York Sun.

They are realizing their mistake, and feel now that it was not the great public movement it was thought to be at the time of it's occurrence. They overestimated the significance of the temporary craze and miscalculated it's effect. Some people who went into the move ment in all sincerity realize that they were led astray by the politi- clans, and the larger number, whose partisanship iH behalf of free silver was due solely to political reasons, are blaming the lack of perception which caused them to make such mistake. ]"
