to call from Adjutant General Stew
art.
Colonel Ripple is commissary general

sergeant on the governors staff.
Major w. S. Millar, inspector and
Major j. W. Oakford, Judge advocate
of the Third brigade, have received no
communication whatever from their
chief Brgadier General J. I. $. Goblin.
Colonel II. A. Cuursen, commanding
the Thirteenth regiment. has not as yet
even received notice that his command
will be called out.
Such is the status of affairs i'm the

a local standpoint. The division Off
GERS are preparing for the calling out
of the militia, and the militia expect
to he called out Further than that,
everything connected with the calling
out of the guard is suppOsitious.
STORY WAS FALSE.
When n bulletin came last night an
nouncing that Colonel Dougherty, OF
the Ninth regiment, had received a
| message from Adjutant General Stew
| art, ,intimating that his command would
be called to arms tonight, a Tribune
reporter sought out Colonel Courseu
and. laying the message before him
asked him if he had received anything
of that character from Harrisburg.
"No, no." said the colonel somewhat
testify, "and it isn't true that Colonel
Dougherty received any such message
1t is a false rumor I am positive"
Have you received anything what
ever from headquarters that you car
make public?" was asked

Could Not Alter the Plea

c. w. Wennenberg of San Pedro.
Swede who speaks English very brokenly,
was brought up before Judge Smith on
writ of habeas corpus by Attorney john
stone Jones yesterday. Wennenberg was
drunk on Tuesday night at San Pedro and
grabbed hold of Mrs F. NJ. Matthews as
she was walking home with her husband
Wennenberg was arrested and taken be-
fore Justice Downing, where he pleaded
not guilty, but started to explain matters
Justice Downing said he wanted nothing
but his plea at the time. Then Wennen-
berg said that he was guilty, but started
to qualify it again, when the justice shut
him up and entered a plea of guilty and
sentenced the culprit to pay fine Of $40
or be imprisoned forty days. On the
ground that the defendant had already en-
tered the plea of not guilty and that the
lower court had no right to alter this,
Judge Smith released Wennenberg on this
complaint and admitted him to bail In $40
pending the issuance of new one.

RAISING HOGS
Suit on Partnership in Which Hog
Cholera Had Been Lost Sight OF

Raising hogs is not always profitable.
That is what William Townsend says of it,
after trial in which he was associated
with Willis Newton. These hog raisers
entered into limited copartnership in Oc-
tober, 1896, by which they agreed to feed
UP for the market lot of grunters and
divide equally the net profits. The nucleus
of the hog ranch consisted of sixty animals
belonging to Newton's son. William Town
send next bought 100 more.from the Cuda-
by Packing company for s2s4.S5, and as
others were added to the herd of swine at
an expense of s62.S5.
The partnership was then ready to see
the hogs fatten up so that it could be
observed by the naked eye, but i'll luck
struck the porcine aggregation. First Of
all, 36 of the hogs of Newton, jr., caught
the cholera and quit grunting. OF the Sec
ond lot 50 were carried off by the disease,
and out of the third lot only two survived.
The balance of the hogs throve and were
disposed of for s4O4.75. But the expenses
of the enterprise were $3.50, and the plain
tiff calculates that according to the terms
of the partnership, he has 5000 coming
from the defendant The latter refuses
to pay, and Townsend now sues in the SUI
.perior court.

SUIT AGAINST NEEDLES BANK
Judge Ross Gives an Opinion on Bank
Guarantees


An opinion by Judge Ross has been filed
In the circuit court in the complicated case
brought by Abner T. Bowen of New York
against the Needles National bank and
Daniel Murphy, receiver. The action orig
inally was brought in 1895 for $22,4S9, but
this sum was not allowed by the court. A
cross-complaint prays for $50 600, and the
court awarded the plaintiff s69.45. Isaac
e. Blake, capitalist of Denver, largely
interested in mines near the Needles, had
several checks cashed on Bowen's bank
in New York, for which, he claims, the
Needles bank guaranteed payment. Sew
eral were paid by Blake, but three, in sums
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000. drawn on the
Chase National bank. remain unpaid, no
money being on deposit in said bank. The
court holds that, while the checks formed
valid claims against the bank. they were
not entitled to any preference on account
of the guarantees being without authority
of law.
