THE MILL
OF JUSTICE
New Trial Of the Cory Black
Case, the Jury Dis
agreeing.
THE WELLINGTON CASE
Argument Begun BY Counsel And
Likely To Consume Most OF the
Afternoon
THE WELLINGTON CASE

The case of Cory Black, charged
with cattle stealing, went to the jury
yesterday afternoon. The jury up to
noon today had not reached conclu-
sion.
The prosecution of the case was
along the same lines as in the case of
"Dud" Black The defense, however,
pursued different tictics altogether,
depending in this case upon the evil
dence rather than upon statutory
grounds.
The Jury reported to Judge Wslthsll
at noon that they had failed to reach a
verdict and were unable to do go. The
Jurors were discharged and the case
will be retired.
No case was begun in the district
court in which Judge Walthall is sit
McCurry, charged with robbery, was
called, but Judge Wilcox, for the de-
PENDANT, said that he was not ready for
trial and asked for postponent. The
case was set for Monday.
G. w. Wallace, under Indictment
for theft from the person was released
upon his own recogniZance.
The testimony and dispositions in the
Wellington case were all read yester-
cay and argument WAS begun by coun-
sci this morning. Judge Edwards, for
Tue plSln I'LL, reVlc~eu VIC e'lueHCo III
the case and held that the accident
which made a physical wreck of Mr..
Wellingt ton was due entirely to the
carelessness and negligence of the rail-
road company.
Judge Kemp, for the railroad, cited
many authorities to support his claim
that the company should not be held
respons BILE for the accident. He argued
further that the evidence clearly show
ed that yelling ton was not employed
by nor working for the Southern Paci-
81 road at the time of the accident;
that he was working for the &c. b. &

S. A. and that that company, if any,
should be held responsible.
The argument will consume most of
the afternoon.
Judge Walthall today granted a
writ of labeas corpus for the purpose of
iuquiriDg into the sanity of Antonio
Flores, now under sentence of death
for murder. The writ ia resurnable on
December 16.
The application for the writ was
made by Doroteo Flores. q son of the
condemned man, who states that he be-
lieves his father to be insane and asks
that the court appoint four physicians
to examine into his sanity. He asks
further that two of the physicians be
Mexican, aud in case the four cannot
agree that a fifth be appointed to de-
eide,

Buying a Manila Girl.

On one of his trips from San Fran
cisco to Manila, Frank Bucklin, of
the United States steamer Warren,
saw and admired beautiful Manila
child, about ten years of age. Speak
ing of her to friend, he said: "Don't
you think that would be nice pres
ent to take home to my wife--a reg
ular little Filipino? Ny wife can
bring her up for lady's maid"
"Why don't you buy her then"
said the friend.
"Good idea," said Bucklin, and he
forthwith offered the mother dollar
for the child.
The Manila mamma handed over
the girl with one hand and grabbed
the dollar with the other. Mr.. Buck
lin took the wild young thing back
with him, but she hit, fought,
scratched and kicked until his life be-
came burden. Every day boat
loads of Manila mammas came along
side the Warren offering tender girls
for sale to the fat man. He refused
100 girls the first day, ard finally, to
escape the consequences of his rash
act, he gave the little Manila girl back
to her mother, together with bonus
of two dollars. This only increased
the desire on the part of the Filipinos
to, sell their children, and Bucklin
was the happiest man on board ship
when she weighed anchor and left
Manila harbor.

ADVICE TO A GRADUATE.
First Published Years Ago, But Just as
Good as Ever.

Remember, son, that the world is
older than you are by several years;
that for thousands of years it has been
SO full of men smarter and better
younger men than yourself that their
feet stuck out of the dormer windows;
that when they died the old globe
went wagging on, and not one man in
100000 went to the funeral or
even heard Of the death.
Be as smart as you can, of course.
Know as much as you can without
blowing the packing out of your cylin-
der heads; shed the light of your wis
dom abroad in the world, but don't
dazzle people with it. And don't i'm
agine thing is SO simple because you
say it is.
Don't be too sorry for your father
because he knows SO much less than
you do; remember the reply of DIR.
Wayland to the student of Brown uni
versity who said it was an easy enough
thing to make proverbs such as Solo
mon wrote.
Make few" tersely replied the
old man. And we never heard that
the young man made any. Not more
than two or three, anyhow.
The world has great need of young
men, but no greater need than the
young men have of it. Your clothes
fit you better than your fathers fit
him; they cost more money, they are
more stylish, your mustache is neater,
the cut of your hair is better, and you
are prettier, 0, far prettier than ''pa."
But, young man, the old gentleman
gets the biggest salary, and his home

ness end of check will drain more
money out of the bank in five minutes
than you could get out with ream of
paper and copperplate signature in
six months.
Young men are useful, and they are
ornamental, and we all love them, and
we couldn't engineer picnic success
fully without them. But they are no
novelties, son. 0, no, nothing of the
kind. They have been here before

Dog And Peafowl Fight.

An exciting encounter took place
Yesterday afternoon in the court
house yard. Jailer Miller has a
'.yaller" dog and peafowl, and the
two are not the best of friends. The
dog was given plate of bones, and
the peafowl attempted to brighten
him away, but the canine held his
own for about half an hour, but
managed to do little eating. Fin
ally the fowl sailed in and gave the
dog good whipping running him
entirely out of the yard. The fowl
then leisurely picked his choice
from the morsels intended for the
animal.
