THOUGHT HIM PREJUDICED
Why F. w. Harnish Did Not
Want Justice Kerrigan to
Try His Case.
He Filed an Affidavit Charging Bias
Under a Mistaken I'm
press on.

A presumed difference II religious belief
between the court and party to an action
that came up for trial was made the basis
of an affidavit filed in Justice Kerrigan's
court Yesterday, alleging that the at1ant
could not get fair and impartial trial.
The case was that of P. w. Riordan,
Archbishop of San Francisco, against F.
w. Harnish, in which the Catholic prelate
sought to GUST the defendant from GER
tain house claimed as the property OF the
plaintiff.
The complaint alleged that Harnish
entered into possession of the premises on
March u last, the monthly rental then
being IS; that subsequently the rent was
raised TO $25 per month, which the defend
ant refused to pay. He also decnned 10
vacate. The Most Reverend Archbishop
Riordan asked possession and back rent.
When the case was called Attorney Har-
ris. who. in the absence of Harnish's regu-
lar attorney, Laura de Force Gordon, rep
resented the defendant, presented an
affidavit sworn to by the defendant alleg-
ing that owing to the prejudice Of the
court he could not get fair and impartial
trial, and asking that the case be trans
ferred to another court.
Attorney Harris argued that the fact OF
the affidavit being filed made il incumbent
on the court to transfer the case, but At
torney Matt Sullivan, who represented the
Archbishop, thought differently and called
Harnish to the stand to explain his Aft
davt.
The defendant did not seem to be very
clear on the matter, but made rambling
statement to the effect that the Arch
bishop, the court and the attorney for the
plaintiff were all of the same faith and in
a ring, and that he could not get fair
deal" He admitted being preiudiced
against the court.
Justice Kerrtgan listened with due judi
cial severity while Harnish was making
his explanation and then refused to enter
tain the affidavit and ordered the case to
trial. HarnIsh demanded jury trial, but
wilted when he was told that he would
have to put up $27 jury fees before the case
was taken up. Then the cause was tried
and judgment given for the plaintiff on q
strong case being made against him.
1.-The humorous part of it all was" said
Justice Kerrigan after the Disguised Har-
nish and his friends had filed out, that l
am not Catholic. 1 might have sent the
case to Judge Barry or Judge Carroll, but
don't suppose that would have helped
matters much"

Narrowing Tales of Suffering. Devasta-
tion and Destruction
Told by Parties Who Were Caught in
the Storm in Washington = One
Man Raving Maniac as Result of
Hardships and Suffering Endured
In His Efforts to Get Out of the
Mountains.
Mountains.

SEATTLE CWash.), Nov. 1S.-Residents
Of Seattle and vicinity who by reason
Of the floods and snow have been vir-
tually prisoners in the Businesses of the
Cascades Mountains since Friday last,
are coming in, some on gravel trains,
some afoot and others by boat. They
tell narrowing tales of suffering, devas
tation and destruction.
The situation as described in these
dispatches from day to day has not
been exaggerated in the least, if, in
deed, the fury and fierceness of the
storm has been fully portrayed. There
has been human suffering, and no
doubt many miners and prospectors
in the Cascades have been either
drowned or have met death by snow
Slides
Four prospectors, headed by Joseph
Nicholson, operating a claim on the
Snoqualmie Pass, arrived this after
noon. One of the men is a raving
maniac by reason of the suffering and
hardships endured in their efforts to
get out of the mountains. Saturday
night, in order to prevent being swept
down the mountains by q snow slide,
they lashed themselves to trees, where
they remained in the drenching rain
for six or eight hours. Meanwhile great
powders of earth and huge sections OF
snow kept sliding down into the can
yons and gulches below. Trees We're
torn up by the roots and carried away
by the avalanche, and the noise was
indescribably horrifying.
At daybreak on Sunday the prospect
r.rc to5~p au-av and hppan
their perilous journey out of the noun
tains. They followed Gold Creek to
Lake Keechslos, tramping through
snow four or five feet deep, crossing
small streams on logs and driftwood,
finally finding their way to the point
where the Northern Pacific crosses the
Cascades, and thence they proceeded
down the railroad track to this city.
Two Seattle business men were
caught at Index Thursday. They Were
three days walking thirty-five miles to
Snohomish, crossing small streams by
means of the driftwood and the larger
ones in rowboats. They report that the
Great Northern westbound overland
passenger train, with forty-one pasSen-
gers, due here last Friday morning, is
stalled between Wellington and Madi-
son owing to the great washouts on
both sides. When last heard from
twelve first-class passengers on the
train were being supplied with halfra-
tions from the dining car, while the day
coach and second-class passengers, in
Guiding twenty-four Chinese, managed
to procure scant food supplies from
Wellington.
The gentlemen giving this informa-
tion say that there are ten washouts on
the Great Northern between Index and
Sultan, a distance of fourteen miles;
that on the upper falls Of the Skyho-
Inish River two bridges are gone, to-
gether with 1,200 feet of track
When the food was at it's hight the
Great Northern main line between Mon
roe and SkyhOmish, a distance of seven
miles, was inundated to a depth Of from
six to fifteen feet To-day's advices,
however, are to the effect that waters
Of all the rivers have receded except
The record-union., 1896-11-19

at Snohomish. In the flats and bottoms
water covered thousands of acres OF
rich farm land, leaving nothing but
wreck and ruin behind.
The Great Northern is making
no attempt to run trains save those on
the coast line north to Stanwood. Large
forces of men are now at work on the
