DOG WITH A WOODEN LEG.
'Boze" Limps Like War Veteran,
But Manages to Cover Ground.

A living dog, even with a wooden leg,
is infinitely better than dead lion.
That is what Mr.. Garrett of Pulaski
watchdog, 'BoZe," limped into the house
one day with his left foreleg barely
hanging by the skin.
''BOze" had a foolish antipathy to rail
road trains, and the inference was that
he had Scraped up an argument with
an express which had gone through
about half an hour before.
Mr.. Garrett, who is something Of a
surgeon, decided that he might better
keep three-quarterS Of "Boze'' than to
lose him altogether. So he completed
the work of amputation, bound up the
stump of the leg and gave the dog first
class care.
"Boze" in three or four weeks was
up and about. But his gait was wobbly
and Garrett set to work and made a
wooden leg to straighten him up.
At first the dog didn't take kindly to
the addition that had been built for
him, but he couldn't shake it off, and
finally concluded to make the best of it.
Within a week he was walking about
with all the four-cornered dignity i'm
aginable.
When he wants to jump a fence or
chase an invading cat out of the door
yard he folds the wooden leg up under
him. And a railroad train is something
he has no longer any possible use for

Strength of Argument.

Some Of the speeches Congressman
Johnson has made during the present
campaign are equal in strength of argu-
ment and potency Of language TO any
that have been delivered in the United
States during the year. His conclusions
are arrived at after an exhaustive ex-
animation Of both sides Of the question
and are logically correct and conse-
quently unanswerable. His work, there
fore, must be rated high for the National
ticket as we'll as for his own State and
district. To turn down a man of his
caliber and strength of character for
mere youth, as it We're, of mediocre
ability would stamp the Republican vot-
ers Of the Second Congressional District
as parcel of ninnies.-Amador Repub-

A GARNBHEE THROWN OUT.
Interesting Point in a Three Handed
Litigation.
Judge Catlin Overrules Judgment of
the Township Justices
Court.

Judge Catlin yesterday rendered a de-
ciSiOn In the case of =. w. Clarke
against w. A. Henry, Justice OF the
Peace-a writ Of certiorari.
l.. l.. Green sued Mrs. NJ. Peraz for a
debt of $50, and it being claimed that
Clarke owed her money, obtained a
Sc rniShee, which was served on Clarke.
i'he latter denied that he owed Mrs.
Peraz anything. as she had assigned
his note to man named Miller, but the
Justice ordered him to pay Green and
he ~~rried the matter to the Superior
Court. The decision is as follows:
1.-The return to the writ in this case
shows that Clarke denied that he was
indebted to Mrs. Peraz, the Judgment
debtor. It Is true that on his direct
examination he said he was indebted
TO her, but upon his cross examination
he explained what he meant lie said
he r~ given his promissory note to
Mrs. PeraZ, but that she had assigned
the note to Miller, and that he owed
the note, or the amount due thereon
t. Miller
THE facts in evidence are that some
,tr.nths before the recovery of the
judgment in Green VS.. PeraZ, Mrs.
Feraz had assigned and transferred
10 gotiable promissory note payable to
Peraz, or order, and was by her in
dorsed over to Miller before it became
due, for valuable consideration, of
which Clarke, the maker Of the note,
had notice.
"All this appeared in evidence before
the Justice, and he had authority
other than that given by Sec. 12O of
c. c. p, which expressly provides that
if the garlisjlee denies the debt the
court may then by order authorize the
judgment creditor to institute an action
against the garnishee. Here the gar
rishee did deny the debt, and showed
that the debt which he had owed to the
judgment debtor was in fact due to
another person.
Under such a state of facts, which
sufficiently appear upon the face of
the return, it is clear, beyond question,
that it was not within the power Of
the Justice to make an order requir-
ing him to pay the note to the creditor
of Mrs. Peraz. If it were otherwise the
maker Of the note might be required to
pay it twice, for nothing can be more
ca; tain than that Miller, who was not
a party to the proceeding, would not
be bound by such order, and in an
action by him ON the note against
Clarke the payment of the note under
the order Of the Justice would be in
cffectua1 as a defense.
The order, therefore, being In eX-
cess of the power of the Justices court,
must be held null and void. This is in
az cordance with the rule uniformly
held by me in a number of cases in
WI ich the same question has been be-
fore me-"

A LINEMAN'S AWFUL FALL.
Thomas LannOn Was the Unfortunate
Pole Climber.
Fell Twenty Feet or More-His In
iuries Proved Fatal
Last Night.

Persons who happened to be at Sew
enth and K streets yesterday afternoon,
about o'clock, were Mortified by seeing
a man fall from an electric light pole
to the stone pavement below, where
lie lay as dead. 1t proved to be Thomas
I.annon, a lineman in the employ OF
The Sacramento Gas, Electric and Rail-
way Company.
Officers Nagllel and Fitzgerald were
mar by when the unfortunate man fell,
and were at his side in an instant.
Others assisted and he was placed in a
hack and taken to the Receiving Hos
p:tal, though none who witnessed his
terrible fall believed ne would be alive
when he reached there.
City Physician Nichols and Assistant
Physician Ogden were soon attending
to the sufferer, who shortly afterward
Tegained consciousness. Later on be
relapsed into insensibility. The doctors
were unable to determine whether or
not his skull was fractured, though a
Pre- nounced swelling on the right side
l. dicated that his head had received a
severe blow.
There are two poles at the place where
Lannon fell, and they are about two
was about twenty feet from the ground,
and bracing himself, by the spikes worn
by linemen, between the two poles. 1t
Is thought that in changing his posi-
ton one of the spikes failed to hold, as
he fell directly between the poles.
The report quickly spread that he
had received a shock fl ON live wire,
but there is nothing to indicate that
this was the case, as he bears no mark
such as contact with a live wire would
leave.
Superintendent Shock of the electric
company was early at the hospital and
left word to have everything possible
done for the injured man.
Early i'm the evening the injured man
had a sinking spell, and a priest was
summoned, who administered the
sacraments of the Catholic faith.
L1nnon fingered until after 8 o'clock,
when he breathed his last.
LanDon was formerly in the service
of the Sunset Telephone Company, and

had been wounded and suffered consid-
