TO DEFINE STATUS
Two Organizations Of the Same Name
at Outs

a. Vut3
A fruit growers fight is on in depart
ment four before Judge Van Dyke. H.
w. Strong and q number Of others as
ISOLATED as the Los Nietos and Ranchito
Walnut Growers association. have
brought suit against another organiza-
ton Of the same name to recover $500
as damages, to compel an accounting of
commissions and profits, for a deliver
ance of property and to enjoin the de-
fendant corporation from using the trade
mark that has been appropriated.
Judge Chapman is representing the
plaintiffs, while Senator stephen M.
White and Judge Hutton appear for the
defendant corporation.
In 1887 the association was organized
with A. Dorman, president; H. L. Mont
gomery. vice-president; T. L. Gooch,
treasurer, these three forming the
board of directors. 1t is charged by the
present plaintiffs that in June. 1895.
these officers, in violation of the articles
of association, made an agreement with
Porter Brothers & Co. Of San Francisco
and J. X. Armsby company Of Chi
cago by virtue of which they were ap-
pointed the associations sole agents and
to them was to be delivered the entire
crop of walnuts.
The differences became acute. and the
directors, with a number of the members
of the association who coincided in their
views, gathered together and organized
a new corporation under the old name of
the Los Nietos and Ranchito Walnut
Growers association. Incorporation
papers were filed on March 2, 1896. 1t is
charged that the new Incorporation ap-
propriated the trade mark of the old as
sociation consisting of the name of the
organization in a circle with a star in
side, retained possession of the books,
$1,000 in money and certain property.

THE BIRD TRIAL
Denunciation and Vituperation Dealt
With Liberal Hand

Will A1DSrdl hduQ
E. Meserve, Esq, of defending counsel
made his argument to the jury yesterday
in the case of r. A. Bird. on trial for
forging the signature Of G. ]. Griffith.
The argument lasted from 10 o'clock
until o'clock in the afternoon, and was
a snorter.
Counsel lost no opportunity to excori-
ate the prosecuting witness and in charg-
ing him with deliberate perjury when
upon the witness stand named the least
of the offenses charged against him.
Expert Seaver also received rough
handling, but Notwithstanding these
vituperative outbursts. counsel made a
very close and critical examination of
the testimony bearing upon the differ
ences-real or supposed-in the sigma
lures of the several checks.
At about o'clock Assistant District
Attorney Williams began the closing ar
gument. The attack upon the person.
ality of Mr.. Griffith had reused his ire,
and in his address he was vehement as
he controverted the statements of de-
Tending counsel and put again in the
foreground of argument all the evil
dences of guilt which the defense had
attempted to obscure or altogether OBJ
literate from the minds of the jury.
Upon adjourning a recess was taken
until Z o'clock, when Mr.. Williams re-
sumed his argument.
1t was 9:45 when the lawyers finished
their argument and the case was finally
given to the jury. After that body had
retired it shortly became evident that
some difficulty was to be experienced in
reaching a verdict, and at II o'clock
they were locked up for the night in
charge of Deputy Sheriff Marsh.

from the fact that its leaves are rolled
into the form of pitchers, in which
many a poor fly is caught. The flies
are attracted to the plant by a sweet
liquid which it gives off, and in their
greediness they go little too far and
are killed. Botanists do not know eX-
octly why the plant should wish a
dinner of flies, but there must be some
good reason for it, else its pitchers
would not be so attractive. BY expert
ment they have found that the plant
will live just as well where the flies
cannot get at it at all. So all the evil
dence would indicate that it is just n
rogue, killing flies because it really EN-
joys the sport.-Chicago Record.

A NEvER-FAlLING MAGNET.
Why the Crowd Gathered and Remained
for tho Show.

for tho Show.
For days beforehand the billboards of
Queen City had been aflame with post
ers announcing the nature of an enter
tainment which was to take place on
the outskirts of the city on the after
noon of June ~, and which was her
aided as the greatest effort to which the
professional entertainer could aspire.
Great were the excitement and Joy
when the news became known, for what
man had not cherished the fond hops
that he would some day behold this
wondrous sight?
When the day came round the resi-
dents of Queen City turned out ell
masse and, with beaming faces that told
of cares for the once forgotten, they
repaired to the rendezvous on the out
skirts of the city. Arrived there, they
found a square inclosure of great area
which had been boarded to a height of
some 20 feet, added to which, after one
had been successful in the mad rush for
admission, one beheld a three-story
brick house in tho center of the inclo-
sure. This house was all that the arena
contained, and as every spectator made
point of getting as close to it as posi-
BILE, it was evident that it was to figure
prominently in the days spectacle.
The grounds were quickly packed
with an eager, surging multitude that
impatiently awaited the happening of
what was destined to be the greatest
event in Queen City's history.
FLUSH! 1t has begun" AS the word
is breathlessly passed, everyone is on
tiptoe, with eyes riveted on the brick
house.
Five, ten, fifteen minutes pass. Dur
ing this time the immense throng
stands transfixed with awe and admira-
ton.
Then comes the rude awakening from
that blissful repose; for the block and
tackle have done their work, and as the
fireproof safe disappears through sec
ond-story window the mob breathes
freely again and then sallies forth to
continue the battle Of life.-N. Y.

A Water NIicrobe.

One of the unaccountable phenomena
of the Black sea has lately been eS-
planned by the bacteriologists and the
intercollegiate Since time out of menu
DRY it has been well-known fact that
there were no deep-sea fish in the body
of water mentioned. Away back in 1850
the scientists made an Investigation
and found that fish could not live at Il
greater depth than 100 fathoms in the
water of the Black sea on account OF
the presence of superabundance of
sulphuretted hydrogen. Time and
again the waters were stocked with
deep-sea fish, but all died on account
OF the poisonous gas which was gem
Grated in such quantities in those por-
tons of the water which should have
been their natural habitat. It was
known that the gas was at the bottom
of all the ty6nble, but exactly where
the gas camef from was what so puzzled
the Investigators. The intercollegiate
finally took the matter in hand and
recent observer now announces that the
gas is generated by the countless num-
Der of microbes which make their home
in the ooze at the bottom. This microbe
decomposes mineral sulphates and has
been named Bacillus Hydrosulfuricus
Ponticus.-St. Louis Republic.

Dog Was Very Much surprised.

A large Newfoundland dog in Albany
had surprise the other day. One OF
the span wires of the trolley line fell
across a trolley wire and hung within
foot of the ground. The dog watched
it swinging, and, his curiosity getting
the better of him, came closer and
shifted at it. He was fortunate dog
that there was only weak current on,
but 1t was strong enough to make him
turn several somersaults before he re-
gained his senses. When he did, hc
gave one mournful look at the wire, and
then started for home with the speed
of an express train.

Regular War Dance Indulged In by the
Beilicose Midget.
The sparrow, in whatever part of the
world he is found, seems to earn a rep
utation for degree of persistency ana
pugnacity altogether disproportioned
to his size. Even the climate of India
does not enervate the valorous little
creatures and they make their way,
or take it, with the same resolute inn
rudence that they exhibit in colder re-
gons. In the Journal of the Bombay
National History society Lieut.. Barnes
gives some interesting particulars
about the house sparrows of western
India. At Deesa he found that n pair
had built their nest between a pair of
antlers on the veranda. and another
bathroom, where, although their nest
was destroyed several times, they per-
sisted in building until, out of compass
sion for their repeated labors, they were
left alone. A third pair built in an
empty cage hanging against a wall and
there reared their little ones, although
the cage was frequently taken down
to exhibit the family to visitors. Once
their eggs were stolen and their in
dignant clamor was so disturbing that
the residents of the house, for their
own sakes, were obliged to hunt up
and restore the missing treasures.
Lieut.. Barnes also states that these
sparrows will attack their own image
in looking glass and will fight with
it all day, only leaving off when dark
ness sets in, to begin the battle over
again next morning, so that 1t was
often found necessary to protect the
mirrors with coverings. They are. per-
haps, not more brave than the fiery
little British American residents of
this country, one of which not long
ago disputed with bantam cock the
possession of n particularly delectablc
tid-bit. The bravado of the sparrow
SO astonished the bantam that he re-
treated in dismay, casting glances Of |
alright over his shoulder, so to speak, |

posed of the delicacy, was indulging in |

through the perforation on the other
side Of the card. 1t will be found nee
essary, unless you have exceptionally
fine nerves, to rest the hand holding the

ficulty is to get the pinhead directly be-
tween your eye and the perforation in

wavering. / must confess inability 10

very curious optical illusion may be
made to occur with the help of the ac-
companying Illustration. Let white
card about the size of an ordinary bust
ness card, or smaller, according to the
focus OF the persons eyes who tries the
experiment, be placed along the dotted
line between the bird and the cage, on
its edge likewise. 1t must be turned to-
the light so that the card throws no
shadow. Let the middle of the end Of
the nose be placed on the upper edge OF
the card, and after few moments
steady looking the bird will be seen TO

Place pea between the first and sec
ond fingers of the right hand in their
natural position and you will feel the
pea as one. Cross two fingers, bring
ing the second over the first, and place
the pea In the fork between them so as
to feel the left side of the pea with the
right side of the second finger and the
right with the left of the first. The
impression will then be that you have
two peas touching the fingers, especial
ly if the eyes are shut and the fingers
placed in position by another person.
The illusion will be equally strong
if the two forefngers of both hands are
crossed, and the pea placed between
them. If n chicken in sitting position
on table be gently pressed with one
hand upon the supporting surface, the
head and bill pressed down with the
