more his promise?"
II think l do.''
please state what you know of it.
Attorneys Kahn and Hinkle objected.
Mr.. Hinkle said IL would not be fair to
Judge Hebbard, the prosecuting witness.
Mr.. S@ortridge said there seemed to bs
very tender regard for the prosecuting
witness, and Mr.. Hinkle wanted TO know
who was the injured party, TO which Mr..
Shortridge referred counsel 10 the indict-
ment, which alleged that the State has
been injured.
Then followed o sharp debate as to the
proper procedure. Judge Daingerfield
said 1t was evident that counsel Tor the
State objected to any testimony regarding
the acts or motives of Mr.. Watt unless
they could be connected with the acts or
motives of Judge HebbarI. The court
was inclined to sustain the objection un-
less Mr.. Shortridge could first show that
there was some connection OF understand
ing between Mr.. Watt and Judge Heb
bard.
Mr.. Shortridee wanted to have this testi-
mony recorded and said that he would
connect 1t all with Judge Hebbard. He
argued that this testimony tended to and
would prove that Judge Hebbard know
ingly or unknowinglv was the mere in
strument, the creature or tool of men who
were antagonistic to the depositors. Under
the courts ruling the defense must first
call Mr.. Watt and ask him as to his rela-
tions with Judge Hebbard, and then re.
call Mr.. Mccarthy.

FRESNO, CAL, April 27.-The annual
spring race meeting of the Fresno Jockey

excellent days's sport. The attendance
was fairly good, but not up TO what the
races deserved. The meet will continue
during the remainder OF the week and
every one is waiting for the last days,
when they expect to see the best events.
The track is not IN as good condition as
it ought to be. 1t has always been con-
sidered one of the best in the State. and
with small amount of WORK IL could
have been placed in as good shape as it
ever has been. A large number of horses
have been entered for the meet and some
fine racing Is assured.
To-day's events were interesting and
fairly good time was made. Tue betting
was lively, considerable money changing
hands. The new starting-gate was used
on the track for the first time. 1t is oper-
ated by electricity and proved very ac-
ceptable innovation.
There were three running events on the
programme. Jim Bozeman won the
three-quarters of mile dash in III. The
quarter OF a mile and repeat was won by
Sontag, a third heat being required be-
tween the winner and Lady Kern. In
the final heat Lady Kern's rider pulled

jud ges declared all pools off. The times
were :23, :23 and IA. The third race, a
five-eighth OF mile dash, was a pretty
one. All broke 10 a perfect start. Quick

into the ring he agreed with Dan Stuart
to waive all right to the purse and accept
instead 25 per cent.

this" Smith added, because l didn't
wish to discount Fitzsimmons' victory in
anyway. All other arguments aside he
certainly was better man than Corbett
that day. But it has panied me since the
Carson affair to read the vainglorious
speeches Fitzsimmons has made. If Fitz-
simmons was SO confident of defeating
Corbett why did he waive his right to the

Before the fight Dan Stuart told me
that so far as Fitzsimmons was concerned
there would De no purse. To verify this

The survivors say the car was running
down the grade at a speed of at leas.

Eleventh street, about three blocks from
the scene of the accident the motorman
lost control by reason of the brakes refus-
ing to work When he realized that the
car was beyond his control, and when
speed of twenty-five mics an hour had
been attained, the motorman jumped and
left the car TO dash down the grade with
its passengers. The conductor attempted
10 stop it with the rear brake, but the
speed was too great. About ii ty feet
from he bridge there is Il curve, and when
the runa way car reached this it jumped
the track. After the car had run about
sixty feet il struck the railing of the
bridge which gave way, precipltating the
passengers and car into the slough.
Before the crash came several passengers
jumped and escaped with only slight
shaking up. Fortunately, when the acci-
dent occurred the water in the slough was
not deep, ard one end of the car remained
above water. Had the car run twenty feet
further before going through ii is probable
that every person remaining INSIDE would
have teen drowned, as the water there Is
twenty feet deep.
The Coroner's jury will attempt to place
the blame for the seemingly avoidable
disaster.

LOS ANGELES WIDOWS DEFEAT
Decision Against Mrs. Spencer in the
SUIT Brought BY Her Late Hus-
bands Children

LOS ANGELES, CAL, April 27.-Judge
Van Dyke tod ay decided the bitterly con-
tested case of Isabel Spencer VS.. Anna P.
Spencer ct al. The interests at stake in
the litigation were extensive. consisting
largely of real property which had been
decided to young Mrs. Spencer during the
lifetime OF her husband, Ambrose II.
Spencer. The property is estimated to be
worth from $3.50, ,0c0 to $500, 900.
1t was upon the validity OF these deeds
that the controversy arose. The children
of Mrs. Spencer believed themselves TO
have been badly dealt with and contended
that Widow Spencer had obtained the
deeds to all the property by undue infu-
ence over their father.
The testimony introduced was Of a re-
markable nature. IL showed that Mrs.
Spencer was very vigorous woman men
tally and ply sically. and that her husband
was old and feeble during the later years
of their married life. 1t became incum-
bent on Mrs. Spencer to show that she had
treated her husband as a dutiiul loving
wife, and she was kept on the witness
stand for many hours.
NUN Der of the most prominent peo-
pie in the city wero witnesses at one time
or another in the case, and the decision
has been awaited with great interest.

ments Of Mrs. Spencer and her failure to
make good her claims. The Judge con-
cluded his decision as follows:
my conclusion is, from oil of the testi-
mony and circumstances, that the plain
Tiff has made out case, and, further, that
the action is not barred by the statute of
limitations. This result will still leave

CAUSE OF INSANITY IN ARIZONA.

A Phoenix correspondent to the Williams Ne,oS, writing on the insane asylum; says:
 Strange as 1t may seem .(to 6 man), the large majority of patients are men. The ratio of the Arizona institution is four to one. This is explained, however, by the state ment that the primary causes of the insanity of many of the men is women.
 The commitments attributs many causes for the insanity of those now at the asylum Many of the male patients were sheep herders and prospectors. The lonliness of the sheepherder's call ing, the dreary isolation from the cOmpanionship of man unsettles the mind. So it is in a measure with the prospector, though his dementia comes oftener from disap- pointment at not finding the riches he may have spent the best years of his life searching for. Dissipa- tion in one form or anotker IS the general cause of mems madness. Dissipation in drink often follows disappointment in love or an un- happy marriage. Various reasons are giving for the insanity of women, though in many cases the com mitments say the causes are un- known. The brains of some of them have snapped from grief, religious excitement, strong drink, excessive use of drugs, business reverses, desertion by husbands and homesickness. The frailty of the human passions is sorrowfully shown in an insane asylum, and the great heart of humanity is touched by the exploitation of the miSerableness of such fate.

The Greatest Monarch

Is fit subject for pity if he is troubled with dyspepsia, while his poorest sub feet who digests properly may well be envied by prince thus afflicted. The dyspepsia of every cline and nation owe debt of gratitude to Hostetters Stomach Bitters, which rescues them from one of the most obstinate and troublesome complaints against which medical skill is directed. On this continent, in Europe and the tropics, this sterling remedy is pre-eminently and justly popular, not enly as a stomachic, but also as a means of pre- venting and curing malarial rheu- matic, kidney, bilious and nervous disorders. It improves appetite and sleep, hastens convalescence and the acquisition of vigor after exhausting maIadies, and counteracts the in frmities of age. A wineglassful taken before retiring has a tendency to promote tranquil, health yielding sleep, boon much coveted by nervous invalids.

Men and women tremble at the mere thought of the thief and assassin who steals i'll at midnight to rob and slay. Without qualm these same people face the deadly advances of foe infinitely more dangerous. All the robbers and assassius in the history of crime did not slay as many human beings, as consumption kills in single year. One sixth of the population of the world dies of this deadly peStilenCe. 1t turks in every home and in every public place, waiting for its victims. There is but one protection. against it. The microbes of consumption may be safely defed by those who keep their blood rich in tissue building elements and free from impurities. The lungs, if supplied with pure blood, furnish no foot hold for the germs of consumption.
 Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the greatest of all known blood-purifers. It is the best tonic and invigorator. As flesh builder 1t has no equal. It has cured thou sands of consumptives who~have been pro- nounced incurable by physicians. It fills the arteries with rich, red, tissue building blood, and drives from the system all dis ease germs. Thousands have testified to its merits.
