The match balk-line game of billiards be-
tween Harrison and Capen at. the West hotel
rooms was something of disappointment.
Neither,sof the players succeeded in retaining
good control OF the ball, although some
good runs were made. Harrison was to make
300 to Capen's $50, and he succeeded in
crossing the line when Capen had only s5.
Harrisons high run was 81 and his average
$685. Capen's average was 3. The game will
be continued this evening and tomorrow

Judge BeIden Decides an Interesting

Judge Belden has filed his decision for the
defendants, in the case of Deow Morrison vs.
Henry U. Seeley and Nettie Seeley, known
as Nettie Conley.
The case was an important one from a
legal standpoint, as It involved some pecu-
liar points. The plaintiff had a Judgment
against, Seeley which he sought to enforc
against fNettie Conley. on the claim that See
ley had transferred it to her, when she was
his wife by a common law marriage, without
Consideration. The parties had lived togeth-

ways passing Mr.. and Mrs. Seeley.
In the decision, the court finds that the
defendants were not husband and wife, and
that the woman paid 1900 for the property.
to the man. 1t is held that there was no
fraud, and that the property is not subject
to execution on the Judgment. 1t was the
opinion Of the court that the parties were liv-
ing together as they did, matter of con-
venience, and not under contract of mar
rage, or with any such intent.

the knowledge, that so many forms of

If in the enjoyment of good health,
