robbed in a saloon and thrown into the
street early yesterday morning, where he
was found by Policeman Joy and taken
to the Receiving Hospital in semi-con-

Restoratives were applied and he re-

told JOY that he went to Alameda Sunday
to visit friends and while returning on
the boat met a soldier of the Twentieth
Kansas. They had some drinks and he
remembered playing the Slot machine and
asking the bartender TO change a So gold
piece. He drank three glasses of port
wine in the saloon. His hip pocket had
been cut and $50 taken out of it and his
gold watch and chain had also been
stolen

BOYD MUsT ACCOUNT.
Heirs of the Davis Estate Defeat Him
in Legal Battle.

Judge Belcher yesterday rendered iudg-
ment in favor of Lizzie Muir and Belle
Curtis, heirs of the estate of the late
Jacob q. Davis, and against Alexander
Boyd for an accounting.
Boyd was a partner of Jacob z. Davis,
who died in October. 1896, leaving an
estate valued at 81, 900 900. He conducted
the affairs of the copartnership until the
estate of the deceased was distributed to
the heirs. The heirs claimed that Mr..
Boyd owed the Davis estate some $50 900,
and as he refused to account, they filed
suit. Mr.. Boyd claimed that his services
on behalf of the copartnership were rea-
sonably worth the amount of the differ
ence in the accounts, some $50, ,000 and
that the matter should be allowed TO
stand. Judge Belcher, however, has de-
cided that his services were not unusually
laborious and that he is entitled to no
compensation therefor. Hence Mr. Boyd
must pay the plaintiff 100000 unless the
judgment is reversed on appeal.
