the court says the complainant prays
that certain deed from the defendant
Charles S. Maynard to the defendant
William Neale, may be set aside, and
that said Maynard may be decreed to
convey the premises to complainant in
accordance with the provisions of Ger
tain land contract given by Maynard to
one Rufus Nash and by him assigned
to complainant. The court further says
that the complainant and the witness
Cookbook testify positively to a state oil

Neale and Maynard of the fact Of such
assignment, while, on the other hand
both of said defendants are equal,
emphatic ard positive in their denia
that they had any knowledge notice Oh
intimation of such assignment. The
court further states: There is nothing
in the testimony which could lead the
court to suspect that any witness sworn
in the case is otherwise than honest ano
candid in giving his testimony or that
he testifes to anything that he does not
believe to be true. The difficulty is that
as in many cases tried in court, the wit
nesses on the one side or the other dc
not remember the facts as they actually
occurred" The court being wholly un
able to find preponderance of the evi
dence in favor of either party to the suit
can only "leave the parties where the
law leaves them" Bill dismissed with

LEROY AND Starlight.
To be Examined for Burglary ON
Monday Next.

Charles Walker, alias Leroy, alias
Tone" and Brick Starlight. the men
who on Sunday night of last week shot
and seriously wounded f. J. Crolv.
while engaged in burglarizing his resi-
dence at Twelfth and P streets. were
arraigned in Justice Davis court yes
| terday, and formally charged with
burglary
The complaint was sworn to by Chief
of Police Dwyer, and after it had been
read, Leroy, who was Respondent in
fine clothes and a flaming four-in- hand
scarf, said he would waive all prelirn-
mary proceedings and was ready to go
ahead with the examination.
Starlight followed the lead of the big
thug, and said he, too, was ready to
proceed.
City Attorney de Ligne asked that
the examination be set for Monday
next. so that in the meantime Mr..
Croly's deposition might be taken. The
request was granted.
Leroy and Starlight have been held
to answer for robbing a japanese. and
their trial set for April 4th. but the
officials do not propose to take any
chances with them. While a life SEN
tence may be imposed for robbery the
maximum time for burglary is only
fourteen years, and should a sentence
less than life Imprisonment be imposed
on the robbery count it is understood
the burglary charge will be tried.

In the evening there was a large

Club in the United States, and to see
the interest taken by them in the game
Messrs. George E. Bates, P. J. Tor
mey and j. G. Sutton were also called
on, and responded briefly and wittily,
accounting for their defeat in the after

Mr. Mott to the Suffer Club. where
he INDUCED in a friendly game with
some of the members.
After his departure the club members
settled down to play, there being sew

WAS HE IN JEOPARDY?
Sparks Jump From the Frying
Pan Into the Fire

In December last Andrew Sparks
pleaded guilty to charge of petty lar
ceny in the Police Court, and was sem
fenced TO serve six months in the
County Jail He lately attacked the
legality of the Police Court and the
decision of the Supreme Court affirm
ing the judgment of Superior Judge
Hart, that the Police Court was not
a legally constituted body, was pub
lished yesterday in full in these COL
umns.
Sparks stole a coat and hat from
Zemanskys store at Third and J
streets, and was arrested by officer
Fitzgerald, and that his release was
ordered by the Supreme Court will
probably add only to the time he will
spend in the County Jail Fitzgerald
yesterday morning swore to a COM
plant charging him with petty lar
ceny, and when the Supreme Courts
remittitur arrives and he is discharged
he will be Immediately rearrested
The law provides that man shall
not more than once be placed in ieop-
ardy for the same offense, but since
the Supreme Court has decided that
the Police Court was really no court
at all, it is held by the officials that
the previous trial was really no trial
and that accordingly Sparks has never
before been in jeopardy
Yesterday afternoon Attorney S. r.
Hart sued for a writ of habeas corpus
for the purpose of releasing him, and
the Supreme Court will now be called
on to pass upon the question of the
validity of the City Justices Court.

CATTLE QUARANTINE is OFF.
TEMPORARILY ABOLISHED IN
THIS STATE.
Cattle Can Now be Removed From
the Southern Ranges to
the North.

| The interstate quarantine against
cattle infected with splenetic fever has
been temporarily abolished, and moth
| ing now prevents cattlemen from NOV
| ing their furnishing herds.
! The quarantine line, as first estab-
| lished, exempted but two or three OF
the northern counties, and it was only
after months of labor that the Gov
ernor and the State Board Of Health
! prevailed on the Agricultural Depart
ment to have it changed to its late
! location. The State officials have all
along contended that the line ought to
cross the State east and west in the
vicinity Of the Tehachapi Mountains.
| Owing to the scarcity of rain in the
| southern part of the State there is no
| feed for stock and for the past six
weeks the Board of Health has been
overrun with letters from cattle own
ers asking that measures be taken by
which they could ship their herds to
northern pastures.
| The Board of Health acting with the
| Governor, presented the case to Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson, and an
arrangement was made by which cat
tie would be allowed to cross the line,
1 if, after inspection by a Government
expert, they We're found to be free of
disease.
But that arrangement was unsatis-
factory, and hundreds of petitions for
inspection and permits poured in daily.
The inspector could not do one-twenti-
eth of the work required Of him, and
the railroad companies, having no re-
liable information to guide them, could
not furnish necessary transportation
for the herds
A few days ago Dr. w. P Mathews,
Secretary of the State Board of Health,
telegraphed the Department of Agri-
culture, urging that other regulations
be made which would allow of expedi-
tious moving of the herds.
Secretary Wilson replied that the
only other feasible arrangement that
could be made would be to abolish the
interior quarantine line
The Board of Health replied to the
effect that such an arrangement would
be satisfactory, provided after the
present condition of affairs shall cease
to exist the line shall be re-established
farther to the south.
DR.. Mathews yesterday received a
telegram from Secretary Wilson to the
Ieffect that the suggestions of the board
were satisfactory, and that the quar-
antine line had been temporarily abol-
ished

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A SIMPLE, HARMLESS REMEDY.
Yet 1t Cures the Worst Gases of Dyspepsia
and Indigestion.

and Indigestion.
DR.. Jennison. who has made a life
study of stomach troubles, says: All
forms of indigestion really amount to
the same thing, that is, failure to COM
pletely digest the food eaten; no matter
whether the trouble is acid dyspepsia
or sour stomach, belching of wind, ner
Vous dyspepsia or loss of flesh and ap-
petite; person will not have any of
them if the stomach can be induced by
any natural, harmless way to thor
oughly digest what is eaten, and this
can be done by a simple remedy which
] have tested in hundreds Of aggravated
cases with complete success. The rem
edy is a combination of fruit and veget-
able essences, pure aSeptic pepsin and
golden seal put up in the form of pleas
ant tasting tablets and sold by druggists
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. One or two of these tablets
should be taken after meals and allowed
to dissolve in the mouth and mingling
with the food in the stomach digests it
completely before it has time to ferment,
decay and sour.
OF actual experiment one grain of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
three thousand grains of meat, eggs and
similar wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say if this wholesome rem
edy was better known by people gener-
ally, it would be a national blessing, as
we are nation of dyspeptics and nine
tenths of all diseases owe their origin
to imperfect digestion and nutrition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
secret patent medicine, but fifty cent
package will do more real good for a
weak stomach than fifty dollars worth
of patent medicines and person has the
satisfaction of knowing just what he IS
putting into his stomach, which he does
not know, when widely advertised pat
ent medicines are used
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, full sized packages, so cents.
