From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Philip Hcneyman Of Somerville, NJ was
driving through the woods near the Rari-
tan river yesterday afternoon, when a
naked man appeared in the road and sig
nailed him to halt. Honeyman recognized
the naked man as John Garrigan, who is
eccentric and is said to be wealthy Gar
rigan said that two days before he had
gone to lonely spot in the river to battle
and that while he was in the water a burly
negro tramp came along and stole his
clothing. Garrigan resisted the negro, but
was overpowered. thrown into the river
and nearly drowned.
He was ashamed to venture out Of the
woods in the day, and he could not endure
the briars that pricked his flesh as he at
tempted to travel the fields by night. He
crouched in the bushes as the lightning
flashed and the rain beat down on Thurs
day night. Honeyman drove back to town
and soon returned to Garrigan with shoes
and clothing.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept S.--The
Democracy of Arkansas yesterday
achieved the greatest victory in the his
tory of the state. Never before was such
an overwhelming majority given any
| subernatorial candidate as that which
was yesterday given Gen. Dan w. Jones
and never was such a large vote polled
in the state. Conservative estimates,
based on partial returns received, now
place the total vote at 165,oO0 and gives
Jones q clear majority over all opposi-
tion combined of from 10000 to $1,000.
The following kilograms were recelv-
ed by Democratic State Chairman Car
roll today:
"Chicago-Accept my congratulations
on the magnificent result under your
splendid management. 1t is gratifying
not only to the citizens of Arkansas, but
to the Democracy of thee country that
the state has by is vote yesterday shown
its devotion to the great principles at
stake in this contest and fairly indicates
what is to be expected in the south and
west in the November election.
(Signed) JAMES K. JONES.
Returns continue to come in, but very
few of the counties have yet made COM
plete returns and fully ten days will
eiapse before complete returns are in.
Last nights estimate of $4,000 to go, ,00O
will undoubtedly be verified. with pos
sible increase of 5000, to 10000. From all
counties the report comes of fair and
square vote and the count of ballots is
now going on. The Democratic ticket
was elected by twice the majority ever
before polled in the state. 1t is note
worthy that at least 5000 Populists de-
serted Files and voted for Jones, as did
a large number of colored voters in
Woodson and Jackson counties. The
fusion ticket, Republicans and Popu-
lists, carried some legislative and sew
eral county offices in the northwest, but
no report has been received up to this
hour of any county having gone for
either of these parties.

Come Out Of Court With q Perfectly clesr
Title
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. S.-Judge
Sanderson rendered his decision this
morning in the famous Noe case, order
ing judgment for the defendants, who
are the present owners Of the San Mi
guel rancho, which consists OF 1000
acres OF land in the Mission and south
westerly portions of this city, and is
the property in controversy The plain
tiffs, Miguel, Vicente and Catalina Noe
and Catalina Spilvalo, heirs at law OF
Guadalupe Gardenia Noe, wife of Jose
de Jesus Noe, claimed title to one-half
of the property, and brought suit TO Sc:
aside the sale of the same to over 1909
persons, among whom it had been dis
tributed.
The property originally came into the
possession of Jose Noe, the head of the
family, in 1S4s, under grant from Pic
Pico. the last Mexican governor of Cali
fornia, but was subsequently patented
to. him when California was admitted to
the Union. In the course of time it was
conveyed in small parcels by Noe by
private sale and passed from purchas ar
" uIllll II WAS ulNlueu JulD
over 1000 small holdings. The points
raised by the plaintiffs were that as the
land was virtually purchased by Noe
from the Mexican government it was
community property, and one-half of It
was passed to his wife's heirs under the
Mexican law in force at the time of her
death in 1915. 1t was also contended
that even IL the property was a gift to
Noe and had not been purchased by him,
the same law vested the title of one half
of it in his wife's heirs.
Judge Sanderson, however, hollis
that lands granted to married men un-
der the colonization laws Of Mexico be-
came their separate property, and as
this tract was given outright to Noe IN
1916 by the Mexican government his
wife's heirs have no rightful claim in
the premises. Noe realized s70O0o from
the sale OF half of the tract in 1854, but
today it is covered by improvements
and made to be worth upwards of $50-
OOO 1000.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-The Times this
morning publishes a lengthy letter from
it's Havana correspondent, dealing with
the state of affairs in Cuba, in the course
Of which he says:
Careful study Of the past four months
convinces me that despite serious losses,
the rebels are holding their own against
the troops. The wealthy agricultural
districts are now completely under rebel
control and the whole sympathy of the
islanders is with the rebels. Even Ha-
vana, which is more Spanish than any
other town or district, is permeated with
animosity toward Spanish rule and is
honeycombed with intriguers on behalf
of the rebellion.
