THE DIMOND DIVORCE CASE
Will Make q Stir 10 Honolulu Social
Circles
LiliuoxaIani Anticipates Annexation and She
Would Like Financial Indemnity
for Her MANY Losses

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5.-The
steamer City of Pekir today brought
the following from Honolulu. dated
January 20: Mrs. Carrie H. Dimond,
who recently returned from San Fran
cisco, where it was said she had eloped
with an amateur actor named wilson,
is now before the courts on charge OF
contempt in connection with the divorce
suit which she has come back to con-
test. She forced her way into her hus-
bands house and declined to leave when
served with an order of court. she is
now at a local hotel. The divorce suit
will be heard in three weeks. Mean
while she is receiving $25 week all
mony. The case promises to be sensa-
tonal If brought to trial. Paul Neu-
mann Will be her chier attorney. Mrs.
Dimond says she is willing her hus-
band should have the divorce, but she
wants the custody of their only child
and a good share OF the fortune Dimond
recently inherited. Dimond is not dis
posed TO accept her terms and bitter
fight will follow.
AS the Dimonds have moved in the
most fashionable society, many prom
trent women will be called as witnesses
on both sides. Within the past week
several people tried to get away on
departing steamers to escape the wit
ness stand, but were prevented by court
summonses.
The opinion prevails in Honolulu that
ex-Queen Liluokalani is in Washington
trying to secure some financial indem-
nifty from the United States govern
ment She has been deprived of her an
nual income of 100000 from the crown
lands, this going to the Dole govern
ment. Anticipating annexation, the ex-
queen thinks she has some claim for
the loss of her income, from the Ameri
can government.

A GOOD INDIAN
The Proprietor Of Lewis HeiI' VIII Offend
No More

LEWISTON, Idaho. Feb 5.-The
body of John Levi a noted Nez Perce
Indian, was found lying in the muddy
road today. He had been in this city
until late hour and was returning TO
Lapwai whe nhe was waylaid and shot
by some unknown assassin. Levi was
proprietor of Lewis He'll" an Indian
gambling resort, and was accused Of
buncoing and robbing the redmen who
visited his house. He was recently prin-
cipal in an attempted hold-up in which
one Jones, an Indian enemy was badly
wounded with a knife in the hands Of
Levi 1t is also rumored that some
threats were made after the cutting af-
fray occurred. These facts lead to the
belief that the murder was committed
by Indians, and Jones is suspected by
the officers. Levi was under a bond of
$1,000 to appear before Commissioner Poe
on charge of highway robbery today.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-A special to the
Herald from Bangkok says: Here are
the details of the attack on the German
minister: While driving, his pony SHE'D
and injured a Chinaman. The minister
stopped to inouire into the extent of the
mans hurt, and was promptly surround
ed by the police, who seized and struck
him. He was hustled to the police sta

declaration of his rank. An American
engineer and an English attache of the
legation explained the situation in the
vernacular, but the police attacked them
also, crying Down with the foreign
ers" The minister was then detained.
A public apology is considered the gross

at Cheng Mai, the affair has caused un-
usual excitement. Consul General Bar

MUST PAY UP
Bright Failed to Die His Sister Seemed to Be
Sorry

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 5.-Mary
Craig must return to her brother, Rob
ert Bright. all the money and real es-
tate he transferred to her when he be
lieved he was on his death bed Judge
Eebbard rendered a decision to that ef-
feet today. On January I, 1895, Bright
assigned to his sister a bank book that
showed that he had $l69S7 on deposit
and also executed deeds conveying to her
several valuable pieces of real estate.
He did this because he was anxious to
prevent attorneys from handling his
property after his death. \ few months
later Bright began to rally and he then
concluded that his time to die had not
come and that he would like to enjoy the
possession of his property for u while
longer. But Mrs. Craig objected to be-
ing deprived of her wealth, and when he
demanded the return of the bank book
and the cancellation of the deeds she
declined to comply with his wishes. He
accordingly brought suit to recover his
property, alleging that il had been con-
veyed to his sister upon the distinct un-
derStanding that it would be returned
should he regain his health. Mrs Craig
resisted the suit on the ground that the
gift was absolute and could not be re-
voked. Judge Hebbard decided other
wise He held that the law provided
that gifts made in view of death could
be revoked al any time. He decreed that
Bright was entitled TO recover his bank
account and that the deeds should be
Cancelled, but that the defendant was
entitled to $1,000 she expended in taxes,
repairs, etc.

The patrol wagon was called to the

where a man lay nearly dead from the
effects Of an overdose of chloroform.
The victim was G. M. Threlkeld, who ad-

join the spooks.
The man was removed to the receiv-

permitted. DR.. Hagan applied restora

had only been half-hearted one, Threl-
keld was soon brough round. He had
been drinking heavily before taking the
chloroform.
Threlkeld halls from Fort Collins, Col.
and had only been in the city three
weeks. Yesterday afternoon he had
some trouble with his wife, and threat
ened to kill himself. She only laughed
at him and dared him to carry out his
threat, at which he picked up the bottle
Of chloroform, which had been used foq
toothache, and began drinking the con-
tents. Before he had finished the bottle
his wife snatched 1t away from him.

ments the Result-Freshmen
Tied and Photographed

Early yesterday morning the campus
Of the university at West Los Angeles
was covered with a mass of struggling
students and presented to the eye OF
those unacquainted with college ways
the appearance Of riot in the midst oi
"a strike.
Monday evening the sophomore class
gave party which was con tinually dis
turbed by some meddlesome freshmen
After the festivities were over, the
"Sophs" sought to visit retribution upon
their disturbers. They first attempted d
to break up a Junior celebration that
was taking place in the college building
but were unsuccessful. About or
o'clock Tuesday morning they began to
capture the freshmen and tie them UP.
After number of the "Freshies" had
been taken prisoners their captors went
after more. In the meantime the juniors
had warned the other freshmen, who
came to their comrades rescue.
The "Sophs' returned to. find them
selves face to face with their loosened
victims, reinforced by allies.
A desperate scrimmage ensued, In
which eyes were blacked, clothes torn
and various other more or less serious
injuries inflicted. Finally the freshmen
proved the better and tied their perse-
cutors up, piled them in a heap behind
the college building, and after executing
war dance over them took several
photographs of the vanquished.
One of the freshmen, Holland by name,
presented a gruesome sight. Blood
streamed from his nose and one eye was
swelled almost shut, though his injur-
les were not dangerous.
At chapel time the result Of the Junior
celebration was disclosed. AS the serv-
ices began the class marched in, the men
wearing white stovepipe hats and the
ladies' mortar boards After they had
taken their places an original class song
was given amid hearty applause from
the other students.
Further rushes are expected between
the other classes, though the faculty Of
the university has determined to
promptly punish all that partake in such
proceedings.
