DEFENDS A SAN DIEGO JUDGE.
Attorney WtbdrGws His Name From a
Brief in Which the Court Vas
Attacked

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Jan. 5-An unusual
scene was witnessed in Judge 1orrence's
department of the Superior Court this
morning. Oscar a. Trippet, prominent
member of the bar, in open court repu-
diased the language in a brief to which
his name was attached, and threw the
responsibility npon his associate counsel,
Works & Works. The language in ques-
ton was said to have been scandalous and
libeious, ana was directed against Judge
Terrence, and addressed to the Supreme
Court. Mr.. TripPets remarks, accord
ingiy, caused a sensation among the at
torneys of the oily.

ST0CKT0KS NOVEL SUIT.
Witnesses Declare They Have Seen Mar
WHO Vas Declared Dead BY the
SUPERIOR Court

STOCKTON, CAL, Jan. 5.-Elliott q
Elliott, as attorneys for the A. O. I. W.,
prepared to-day a document of considera-
Die Importance in connection with the
contemplated suit of Mrs. Albert Polsky
against that order for $1,000 as her hus-
bands insurance. Mrs. Polsky claims
that her husband is dead, because he has
not been heard from for seven years, but
there are those who claim to have seen
him within the last three years.
The document prepared to-day is what
is called a petition to perpetuate testi-
mony. Under it Henry Voss will be ex-
amined within the next FIVE days. He
will testify that he has seen Polsky in the
town of David, district of Cherique, State
of Granada, United States of Colom bia.
There is another witness, Charles Hill
dreth, formerly of Pennington, who is
now IN South America, and before any
further action is taken his evidence is 10
be obtained. The lodge was about TO pay
the insurance on Polsky's lie about a
month ago, when a local barber told its
fficials that if 1t would pay him $500 he
would prove that Pc sky was still alive.
The lodge has since refused to pay the in
surance, and the suit is the outgrowth of
this refusal.
Mrs. Polsky recently applied to the
court to declare her husband dead and
this was done. When Polsky disappeared
from Stockton 1t WIS believed he had been
murdered

Breach Between the ErstWhile
FusionistS Not Likely to
Be Bridged.
Silver Republicans Show Their
Strength Against the Third
Party Candidates.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, Jan. 5.-The unex-
pected breaking up of the Democrat-Pop-
ulist fusion in the Idaho Legislature and
the coalition between the Democrats and
silver Republicans, by which the former
were enabled to organize both houses and
carry off all the appointments, has given
a new turn to the Senatorial contest ana
seems to indicate that the Populists, in
stead of securing the senatorshIp, as they
expected to do by the aid of the Demo
Gratis, will be left out in the cold.
Informal caucusine has been going on
all day, and the prevailing opinion IS that
the breach between the Democrats and
Populists cannot be bridged, and that the
senatorship will go either to Dubois or
Democrat-probahly Johnson.
CIaggett. Angel and Cooper, the Populist
candidates, and their friends say that the
action of the Democrats In joining with
the silver Republicans in organizing the
Legislature has no Senatorial significance

MISSING FROM CORVALLIS.
Friends of a LirerDman BeIfers That
He Hns Murdered.


He Vas Murdered.
CORVALLIS, Or. Jan. 5.-The mys.
terry surrounding the death or disappear
ance OF James Eglin, liveryman, who is
supposed to have been drowned IN the
Willamette River while intoxicated Satur-
day morning, has not yet been cleared.
The river has been dragged without re-
suit. Public opinion in Corvallis is that
Eigin was murdered, but how or why can
not be explained.
Eglin and William Williams OF the
Elgln stables left Albany after midnight
in carriages to drive to Corvallis. Two
Well-known and respectable ladies accom-
panied them, because they had missed q
boat. Eglln had been drinking.
The women's peculiar story is that when
near the suburbs of Corvallis the one who
had been riding in Eglin's carriage left it,
and both rode the remainder OF the dis
lance with Williams in the first buggy.
Egin was left behind and that was the
last seen OF him.
His buggy was found wrecked. There
were tracks to the river, and the horse
came into the barn unhitched at o'clock
IN the morning.
