LIPKA DID NOT SHOOT.
His Wife Proposes to Prosecute Her
Suit for Divorce.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
90S Broadway, Jan. 20.
Attorney Mitchell was not shot dead
to-day by Elkan NJ. Lipka, but the Lipka
divorce case was dismissed.
The exclusive publication in The Call
this morning of the tragic threat of Mr..
Lipka that unless Attorney Mitchell ac-
ceded to his wife's wishes and dismissed
the divorce suit he Oipka) would shoot
off the top of Mr.. Mitchelrs head, caused
much interest in the case among attor-
neys at the Court House. The troubles of
the Lipkas have been before the public
for some time and a divorce suit was ex-
pected long before it was filed. There is
large amount of property owned by
them and this had more influence on the
suit than any of the evidence alleged to
be in existence.
Lipka and his wife became prominent
about three months ago by having aQuar-
rel on Broadway, on which occasion Of
ficer Seaman threatened to arrest him If
he said one more indecent word to his
wife on the street. Some time later a d.
vorce suit was filed and an attempt was
made to trap Lipka in Washington
the scheme had been tipped off to him
and ne engaged the services of a police
officer to establish his innocence.
Lipka and his wife few days since
compromised their quarrel to some eX-
tent and Mrs. Lipka expressed desire
to have the divorce suit dismissed, but
her husband understood that her attor-
ney advised her differently. This angered
Lipka and the scene Of yesterday
with the threat followed Lipka
says he is perfectly willing for
his wife to get a divorce on statutory
grounds, but he will not permit a sepa-
ration to be granted in which any Grim
inal allegation is set up.
In the Superior Court this morning the
suit of Lipka VS.. Lipka was dismissed at
T.eOuPSt of the Wife and bpcauSp ia
desires to file a new complaint
Attorney NJ. c. Chapman, who is now
associated with Attorney Mitchell, says
that Lipka's behavior is entirely uncalled
for and that his associate had no idea of
doing anything unprofessional. Mitchell
is still of counsel for Mrs. Lipka and says
Iipka was not nearly so aggressive as he
would have the public believe.

FOUND WHAT He LOOKED FOR.
J. R. Bigler Searches for Trouble and
Runs Into Lots of It.

ALAMEDA, Jan. 2O-J. R. Bigler, an
Alameda business man, was severely
beaten this afternoon by Lee Clinton, a
colored man who was formerly in Bigler's
employ. There had been trouble between
the men for some time. Clinton claimed
that Bigler owed him some money and
about week ago commenced suit against
him and had his place of business at
tached. Since then Bigler has lost no
opportunity to apply language to the col
ored gentleman that was more forcible
than elegant.
Bigler met him to-day. on Lincoln ave-
rue and renewed the dispute. Clinton
told him to go away and not bother him,
at the same time retreating into a store.
Bigler followed and made a pass at the
negro. Clinton squared away and went
for his antagonist. Bigler had his front
teeth knocked out, his lips cut and eyes
blackened. After a few rounds in the
store Clinton threw Bigler through the
door, where the latter came In contact
with a bucketful of paint. Bigler and
the paint rolled about on the Sidewalk
until the vanquished man could not rec
ogniZe himself
Both men will probably be arrested to-
morrow morning.

THE COUNCIL TO BE TESTED
NO LEGAL SCHEDULE OF RATES
NOW EXISTS.
The "solid Six" Will Have an oppor-
tunity to Prove Their realty
to those Whom They
Represent.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
sos Broadway, Jan. y.

sos Broadway, Jan. 20.
The facts connected with the consolida-
ton of the two water companies published
in to-day's Call were eagerly discussed in
this city. The prospect that Oakland
would be called upon to pay water rates
that would give per cent on a capitaliza-
ton Of 100000 is not looked upon with
favor, as 1t would mean more than dou-
bling the rate now in force.
The water question has been revived,
and the bills of the municipality which
are now held up by the Board Of Works
will serve to revive afresh the scandal OF
a year ago.
Next Monday night the bills will be
brought up and the Council will have TO
take some action regarding them. A reSo-
luton will be introduced by Mr.. Girard
recommending that the bills be not PAID,
and then the vote Will show just now eacn
member stands.
At this time, when many of the mem
bers are candidates for reelection ana
many more are contemplating becoming
So the question Of water rates is of para
mount Importance. Whether the solid six
will vote to pay the bills or whether one
of them will switch to the honest f1Ve is
matter for speculation, but those who are
supposed to know declare that there will
be no break in the vote and that there Will
be found six Councilmen ready to give
the water companies the money to which
they are not entitled.
Even should this be done, some citizens
Will QOuDtleSS 0ldQQdHuS the lily <4uullOI
from paying the bills as City Attorney
Dow has given his opinion to the Fire and
Water Committee that there are no legal
rates now in existence and that the ordi-
nance vetoed by the Mayor and the reso-
luton passed without inquiry are alike in
valid. Just how far this opposition to
paying water rates may go is problemat-
ical. but if individual consumers follow
the example Of the city and decline to pay
It cannot be foreseen what the results viii
be. The law provides that the penalty fol
collecting water rates except upon legal
schedule shall be forfeiture of the plant.
While nobody believes that any such eX-
evident that there IS much trouble ahead
for the water companies.

STRUCK A LIVE WIRE.

OAKLAND, jan 20.-A telephone wire
dangling over trolley wire on Twelfth
street, near Webster, caused the death of
valuable horse and endangered the lives
of three people this morning.
George Larrabee. an employee of E. D.
Williams, was driving down the street,
when his horse struck the wire. The
shock was so strong that the animal died
almost instantly. The wire first struck its
head, and when the unfortunate beast fell
it lay on its legs, burning through both
wagon threw Larrabee violently to the
ground, but fortunately he did not come
in contact with the wire Just behind
Larrabee's wagon were two others, and
when they saw the accident. and this
alone saved them from meeting the same
fate.
