ulent land deals in watch the att Alex

A Novel Suit Nonsuited

Judge \ ork was yesterday engaged in
the trial Of rather peculiar suit which
was brought some time ago. 1t is entitled
A. NJ. league vs.. Ella Buckminster, and
is a suit to recover $4,000 which il is
claimed by plaintiff who is a sister Of
Mrs. Margaret j. McKaye, deceased, should
be paid out of the est ate by Mrs. buck
minister, q daughter OF Mrs. McKuye.
After hearing the ia is Judge York grant

suit.
The case is very novel one, the facts,
briefly stated, being us follows:

BuC minister, by n former husband.
When the girl was about 10 years old her
mother sent her away from home and
married McKaye, who was the owner of
considerable wealth. Mrs. McKaye kept
her husband ignorant of the fact that she
had had Il daughter ny her former hus-
band. When Ella reached the age OF Ii
years her mother completely abandoned
her and left the little girl to SHIFT tor her.

had grown up somewhat like Topsy, had
married Frank S. Buckminster. In her
rough exper ence with the world she had
not had many advantages, and grew to
maturity without the polish or culture to
which her unnatural mothers station in
life entitled her. Upon Mrs. McKaye>s

THAT GRAND JURY SI|lLL|VES
Judge Smith Has Not Passed
Upon Its Validity
LOOKING UP AUTHORITIES
A New Point Raised Regarding Grand
Jurors Mileage
Which Caused Quite a Flutter Among the
Observation-Disclosures Suit Against
Attorney Shinn--Court Notes

T Judge Smith was busy in his cham bers
all day yesterday, looking up the author
tiles on the grand jury matter, only TAX
ing time to transact Dne or two minor
matters in the morning. His honor fully
realizes the Importance of the questions
involved, and wants all the light ne can
get on the subject. There are several
points that have never been passed upon
by the supreme court, ana consequently
there is no precedent to govern, which
OF course increases the work of getting
the authorities in shape and trying to
apply them to the case at issue. In con-
sequence, Judge Smith did not pass on
the question yesterday. Lawyers are,
however, generally of the opinion that
ahe fact that Johnson is ineligible is fatal
to the grand Jury, and il was the belief
that this could not be got over.
The grand jury continued in session
ell day, just as If its validity had never
been called into question, and examined
three or four witnesses, one of whom
was from San Pedro, and another was a
well-known phi ysiclan of this city, but
what they testified TO is not, Of. course,
known.
During the afternoon the inquisitors
were thrown into state of consterna-
ton when they received an intimation
from the supervisors that their demands
for mileage for the past month might
not be allowed, and public business was
suspended at once and Messrs. Storrs and
Dreher were deputized to call on the men
who control the county funds and find
out where they were at. The grand jury
has now beeh IN session two months.
Last month their demands for per diem
and mileage for October were duly pre-
scented, audited and allowed. This month
they promptly prese ted their demands
Tor November, chalking uD the usual
mileage whenever they went hone to re-
cuperate from their arduous labors. The
demands mi ght have gone through again
all right but for one little incident.
Chairman francisco of the supervisors is
very meth odical man, and among
other things he Keeps scrap book, ir
which he pastcs newspaper clippings and
other items likely to he useful to him in
his Official capacity. When he las leis-
ure he am uses himself by looking over
this scrap book and refreshing his mem

operation a day or two ago wnen he came
across a clipI ing from the San Francisco
Examiner, publ shed in August last,
which set MIN to Il mixing. A set forth
in this article, Attorney General FitZger-
aid, in response to an inquiry from NJ.
Z. Rose, district attorney of Shasta
county, gave it as his opinion that grand
jurors were only entitled to mileage for
one trip for a session, and they could n,
draw mileage tor two trips on account If
adjourned sessions. The language OF the
encouragement WAS very PLAIN, and
there was apparently no roum for a:sn'
