The case Of J. w. Montgomery VS..
the Travellers Insurance company was
tried before Judge York yesterday, and
resulted in a decision for the defendant.
The case, which was tried almost en-
tirely on depositions. was a peculiar
one, and the reading of the depositions
afforded considerable amusement
Montgomery, before starting from his
home at Streator. Illinois, for California.
took out an accident insurance policy
At Kansas City he left the train and
went to a hotel nearby. where he en-
gagged room ard, presumably, remain
ed all night In coming out the next
morning it is alleged that he slipped and
fell, sustaining painful injuries to MS
head, and being unconscious some time
Physicians were summoned and he was
got in condition TO travel before train
time, resuming his journey toward the
land of the setting sun. At Albuquer-
que, N. NJ, Montgomery, who, it ap-
pears. had taken out another accident
policy in another company, met with
another accident and put in another
claim for damages. This naturally led
to an investigation, with the result that
the companies came to the conclusion
that an attempt was being made to take
advantage of them, and payment of the
policies was refused In his defense
Montgomery set up the claim that the
man who met with the accident d I Al
buquerque was his half brother, who ha
the same initials as himself. but it was
proved to the satisfaction of the court
that the Kansas City and Albuquerque
men We're one and the same. Among
other questions asked III the deposition
was one asking whether Montgomery
knew any one in Los Angeles who could
identify him. The answer was that
there was a Mrs. Smith. AS to the re-
lationship existing between them Mont
gomery answered that they were rela
tives by marriage, but it finally came
out that Mrs. Smith had been his wife.
There were numerous other funny
questions and answers, but the upshoc
of the whole matter was that the judge
thought the plaintiff had failed to max q
out a case, and gave judgment accord

DIDN'T KNOW ENOUGH

A fairly intelligent looking man ap-
peared before Judge York yesterday 10
take out his naturalization papers. In
answer to questions the man said thai
he had been educated at Santa Clara
college, and appeared to be very much
surprised that the judge should have the
temerity to question him as to his quail
fications for citizenship assuming quite
an airy air The judge proceeded in his
cool, easy manner to interrogate the
applicant, and brought out the aston
ishing fact that while the man was fairly
we'll Informed on general topics he was
absolutely ignorant of the principles Of
the government under which he lived,
not even knowing how the president was
elected, AS the law requires that the
judge shall satisfy himself that an APP
plicart for citizenship is attached to the
principles of the government, and his
honor could not make out how a man
could be attached to principles of which
he knew nothing, the man was turned
down"

HEINTZ'S BOUQUET
A Graceful Act by the Los Angeles Ed
itor at the Irrigation Congress

The Arizona Republican says: Secre-
tary Heintz, of the executive committee
of the national irriga ton congress, did
manly thing during the session of the
congress in this city. He had received
from Los Angeles a large bouquet of
lovely carnations which were greatly
admired by all the delegates. and par
ticularly the numerous ladies in the hall,
many of whom requested small bouquets
from him. Mr.. Heintz, though remark
ably chivalrous. refused to part with his
flowers until an old lady entering the
room stopped to admire them and walked
to her seat with the remark that she had
never before seen such lovely flowers.
She did not ask for them. but Mr.. Heintz
saw how greatly she admired them. and
as he knew she was from the frozen
east he followed her to her seat. and,
in his most gallant manner. requested
that she favor him by accepting the bou-
quet which she did While the tears
gathered in her eyes. She asked to
whom she was indebted for the kind
ness. and Mr.. Hcirtz said: ITO the
makers of the flowers"
This act of Mr.. I}eintz was observed
by number of the delegates present,
who when the opportunity presented,
expressed their appreciation of his kind
ness to the old lady and thanked him
heartily. The act showed the inherent
qualities of the California editor.
