H|TE CASE IS
CLOSED READY
FOR ARGUMENT rs
Indian Woman Again
on the Stand.

There was no war yesterday in the trial
of Hite VS.. Hite. Attorneys, court re-
porter and Judge were on good behavior
and not a cross word or an innuendo
escaped their lips. All interested in the
case seemed anxious to bring it to close
and in this they were successful. The
afternoon and morning sessions ended the
case as far as evidence is concerned. On
Monday morning the attorneys will go to
the arguments.
On order of Judge Jones the language
referring to blackmail, cowardice, guns
that were not called into action and the
passing of lies was stricken from the
record.
Several witnesses were put upon the
stand in the morning, James Ferguson,
Tommy Gibbs and the Indian woman who
goes by the name of the millionaire, for
a part of whose fortune she is now fight
ing. Ferguson testified that Hite and
the Indian woman were spoken of as aunt
and uncle by William Grove, who was a
frequent visitor at Fergusonts place in
the country. Tommy Gibbs was eXamin-
ed and he said his mother was not accus-
toned to a long separation from Hite dur
ing the time they were on intimate rela-
tionS. He admitted she went to fan
dangos where general Indian revelry oc-
CURED, but every time with the consent
of Hite.
Lucy was then called and some time
was consumed in trying to show that
Lucy attended these native celebrations
at the request of the tribe because she
was chieftain's daughter, not because her
inclination or desire prompted it, Under
a short cross-eXamination by Foote she
said she did not know her fathers name,
but she knew he was a big I'm" be-
cause she heard 1t.
In the afternoon a certified COPY of the
marriage license of John R. Hite and
Cecilia Nouges was sworn to by Deputy
County Clerk F. H Mason Of Oakland.
1t was dated October u, 1897. Two days
later they were married and on the 18th
the marriage was recorded.
Attorney Foote wanted to examine F.
w. Berlin, as he had heard
Berlin had denied the evidence
given by Attorney Rodgers in regard
to the compromise. Berlin was not
to be found, so Foote concluded to close
his end of the case. On agreement be-
tween attorneys the case was closed. The
arguments will be delivered in Judge Heb
bard's courtroom next Monday, Van r.

THE men from the mines who came to
San Francisco as delegates to the
eighth annual convention of the Cali
fornia Miners Association completed
the business of the session yesterday
morning and adjourned sine die. Hon.
Jacob Neff who has presided over the as
sociation since its organization, felt that
his advancing years would not permit
him doing justice to the office, and he
declined to again become a candidate.
William c. Ralston was elected his sue
cessor by acclamation, amid the widest
enthusiasm. Fred Zeitler was selected to
fill the Office Of vice president, made va
cant by the promotion of Mr.. Ralston.
Treasurer Hendy and Secretary Benjamin
were reelected.
Many matters of moment to the mining
industry came before the convention just
closed, and much was done that will re-
suit in benefit. A movement was made
toward securing at the hands of Congress
the creation of the Cabinet office of Sec
retary Of Mines and Mining. If the move
ment does not accomplish the desired re-
suit it will certainly make itself felt at
the, national capital. Never were men
more determined in any matter than the
miners are in this one. Senator Perkins,
in addressing the convention on Tuesday.
told the delegates that the fight was hope
less. Yesterdy Judge Davis resented the
Senator'S attempt to discourage the min
ers, and suggested that he had better
