THAT FOOTRACE
The Stakeholder Had Used Funds Left
in His Hands

The suit instituted two weeks ago by VIII
liam L. Muller against F. C. Hammond, the
stakeholder in a wager on a footrace at
Santa Monica, for the recovery of $3.50 de.
posted with him, came up yesterday before
Judge Van Dyke. Testimony showed that
the money was put up on the result of race
between G. A. Huston and an unknown per
son, which was to have been run October
I'd. e. S. Chatfeld was the better on the
other side Before the time set for the race
it SENS that Muller became suspicious, and
thinking the race was to be thrown to the
other side, made a written demand for the
return of the money and served the same on
Hammond. The latter ignored the demand
and suit was brought to secure an order ask
ing for the examination of defendant and
that, he be enjoined from disposing of the
funds in his possession; Judgment was
asked that defendant hold the $3.50 as
trustee for plaintiff and that he be ordered
to repay the money to him in pursuance of
such trust. The matter came up Yesterday
on citation of defendant. 1t appeared that
Hammond had used $50 of the money in his
hands as stakeholder but had repaid the
other 5000. Judgment went for plaintiff in
the sum of $50, the balance due. and execu
ton was suspended for six months in order
to allow him to pay up.

PORTER WILL FIGHT
His Oral Demurrer Was Overruled by
Justice Morrison

G. Wilson Porter will have to fight Not
literally in the prize ring, but expensively in
the courts of justice as dispensed in the de
partment presided over by Justice Morrison.
The latter yesterday morning overruled the
oral demurrer entered by Porter to the ale
cations of Mrs Mary Banning, and gave Por-
ter two days in which to prepare an answer
1t is understood that the line of defense
to be adopted by Mr.. Porter is that the ap-
petite to consume $2l0 worth of eggs an
coffee in the time in which he is alleged to
have accomplished this feat, is beyond the
limit Of human possibility, and certainly his
own delicate palate. Had the eggs been
those of a shad, yes; but well groomed
and healthy hen, never. Egg shampoos
three times day would not have consumed
as much hen fruit, as the Banning complaint
of the Porter appetite alleges, so, naturally
the defendant proposes to resist the Ban
ming attacks with the activity and vigor of
a bantam rooster.

of the rights of persons on the street. and
while so driving ran into buggy in
which Mrs Treosti was sitting in front of
POI North Main street and threw her to the
ground. Mrs. Treosti received at that time
such injuries as are alleged to have kept
her in bed much of the time since, necessi-
tating medical attendance and leaving her
in bodily condition of pain and discomfort
iustifying her demand for compensation.
