DRUGGED AND ROBBED.
What Probably Befell E. b. Robin
son, a Newcomers.

On Monday last a man giving the
name of E. B. Robinson and his resi-
dence as Chicago, registered at the
Western Hotel He was apparently
about 40 years of age and fairly well
dressed.
Robinson drank heavily after his ar
rival and seemed depressed and morose.
Shortly before noon yesterday he was
found in his room in stupid condi-
ton, and it was thought he had taken
a large quantity of some narcotic, prob
ably morphine.
After some delay the man was taken
to the Receiving Hospital, where he
was treated by City Physician Nichols
and Assistant Physician Ogden. They
inserted a tube in Robinson's mouth
and into it poured a large quantity of
black coffee, and in a short time he
was pronounced out of danger. The
drug, however, left him dull and stupid
and he was unable to explain matters
intelligently last night.
He stated, drowsily, that he had no
recollection of anything that had taken
place, and knew nothing about having
taken any morphine. He at first said
that he had 500 when he arrived in
this city, but afterward placed the sum
at $50. When taken to the hospital he
had but 30 cents on his person.
The police are inclined to believe that
the man may have been drugged and
robbed, and hope to be able to
straighten out the matter when Robin
son regains proper use of his faculties.

WASHINGTON JUSTICE.
Litigation Over the Gill-Simpson
Tie Vote There.

The Woodland Mali says that H.
D. Gill, attorney for his father, I. N.
Gill of Washington, who was a candi-
date in the recent election for Justice
of the Peace of that township and who
was tied by Charles A. Simpson in the
result, yesterday filed a writ of prohi-
bition in the Superior Court. the pur-
pose of which is to prevent the special
election ordered by the Board of Su-
pervisors.
Judge Gaddis ordered a citation is
sued to the Board of Supervisors to ap-
pear in the Superior Court on Monday
next at which time the matter will be
heard pro and con.
Mr.. Gill's petition was lengthy doc
ument, alleging many grounds in sup
port of his application, many of which
have heretofore appeared in this paper
in connection with the report of the
proceedings of the Board of Super
visors.
His principal contention is that the
board had no authority to issue a proc
lamation for a special election to elect
a Justice of the Peace of Washington
Township, in that the law prescribeS
that a township officer shall hold Of
flee until his successor shall be elected
at a general election. I. N. Gill is the
present incumbent, and inasmuch as
his successor was not elected at the
recent general election, he contends
that he is entitled to hold the office.
