Just before his death Ohme wrote a
poem, of which the following is the last

Venturing further. that would be in
sane;

Ohme was only "a years old. By in

looked at life through the glasses of a
cynic and the fact that he was COM
PEELED To work at a distasteful occu-
patton because he could not sell the
product OF his brain had much TO do
with his end.
The young fellow came to this coun-
try two years ago. full of high hopes
for success in the new world. He had

from his fathers estate. He rented
elaborately decorated apartments In
the Tenderloin, and established himself

QUESTION OF COSTS.
Mrs. Gum Claims She Should Not Be
Compelled 10 Pay.
Arguments Heard on Latest Phase Of The
Hunsyman Litigation

The question of whether the defend
ant i'm the cause OF Edward Honey
man VS.. Mary A. Gum shall pay all the
costs of the case amounting TO $l9S07
was argued before Chief Justice Matte
son and by him held for consideration
this morning. This motion brought out
quite long history of the litigation
over the estate of the late Rev Peter
M. Honeyman OF Wisconsin. which has
been pending since 1894
The master i'm the case found that
there was a balance due the defendant
from the estate of the Rev. Mr. Honey
man amounting TO about $40. The costs
would of course reverse the matter OF
Indebtedness.
A. B. Patton and Thomas +. West
represented the complainant and +.
Mccarthy the defsDidant at todayH
hearing. Mr.. Patton read a decree
which provided for the DEFENDANTS
paying all the costs. Mr.. Mccarthy
said that Rev. Mr.. Honeyman owned
some real estate and he had given a
deed TO his father, who In turn decided
the property TO the plaintiff. That the
deceased owed the defendant $1,000 and
she had obtained Judgment against the
administrator on his estate.
During quite time Mrs. Gum, who
was not a bookkeeper, had charge 5f
the local property, having been re-
ouested 10 so do by the other members
OF the family. When the real estate
was about TO be sold TO satisfy the $1,000
Judgment, complainant filed a bill
claiming over $1,000 was due. The mas.
ter to whom the case was sent reduced
the sum owing by Mrs. Gum TO the
estate TO 1855 and interest. Mr.. Nc
Carthy said Edward Honeyman had
promised to pay the $1,000 claim, but de-
MED n0 king the promise when he testi-
| fed before the master. Mr.. Honeyman,
| the complainant, was one OF those who
asked Mrs. Gum TO look out for the
estate and in view or the circumstances
| Mr.. Mccarthy did not think IL equity
| that Mrs. Gunn should pay all the
| costs.
| Mr.. West said one OF the sisters OF
| the complainant did not know of the
/ proposed sale OF the estate under the
