Inent Between Lltigants In
Appellate Court.

There was a hearing in the appellate
division OF the supreme court today of
the case OF Agnes Kennedy VS. James
Jordan. ct al. on Mrs. Kennedy's petit
tlon for preliminary injunction.
Mrs. Kennedy's husband Robert Ken
nedy, some time ago was arrested on a
charge of assaulting an officer, and In
order TO secure bail for him Mrs. Ken
nedy made bill of sale OF her store TO
Jordan to induce him TO go bail.
Mr. Jordan says that Mrs. Kennedy
In fact gave him mortgage on the
bakery she conducts I'm the Hoyle bu1ld-
ing Mrs. Kennedy wanted Jordan re-
strained from interfering with her busi-
ness.
Mrs. Kennedy asserts she runs the
bakery and that her husband has no
claim thereon. though in court today
she admitted he paid the bills.
Jordan says the Kennedys owed him
n good sized milk bill and he took
mortgage OF the place not only on the
bail matter, but also to make sure OF
his bill for milk. The bail matter mas
been settled.
Last Wednesday Jordan took posses
sion under tha bill OF sale claiming Ken
nedy had left the state and that Mrs.
Kennedy WAS selling out the store piece
meal I'm order 10 leave the state herself.
Judge Tillinghast said Jordan had ta-

He Was Examined In the Sub
urban Trolley Disaster by
Coroner Carpenter.

Coroner Job S. Carpenter is having
hard lines trying TO get witnesses to
attend the inquest into the Suburban
trolley fatality.
Ghe coroper announced day before
yesterday that the examination would
be continued today at 1890 a. m.
At that time, however. nobody had
put in an appearance. except man
who had a doctors certificate 10 the
effect that he was unable to attend.
The coroner had TO go TO dinner. or
course. and adjourned the hearing un-
til o'clock this afternoon.
The first, last and only person ne
examined was Nelson Allen Wilcox.
who rode on a car that followed the
fated Riverpoint car 15 minutes later.
OF course Mr.. Wilcox could not en-
tighten the court, because he knew
nothing about the shocking catastrophe
Coroner Carpenter does not know
when ne will try again, but he has an
idea that Motorman Hanlon's state
ment will finish the inquest.
Motorman Hanlon. IL will be remem-
bered had charge OF the Suburban car
that collided with the Riverpoint car.
He was severely injured. but was out
today and will probably be heard Mon

Another Large Batch Of Uncon-
tested Cases Before the
Court Today.

Though the first two days assigned TO
the hearing of uncontest,h petitions for
divorce were busy ones. all the work
was not by any means completed. for
this morning taefe was a very large
crowd OF women and attorneys await
ing the opening OF court by Judge
Douglas
Most OF the cases heard today were
OF an interesting nature ana
accoI ding to most OF the stories tod
the men whom the fair petitioners met,
were the very worst sort to be found.
Nils Nilsson asked a divorce from ms
wife on the ground of ,desertlon.
witness who knew Mrs. Nilsson said that
Mrs. Nilsson said: II would rather pe
with the Mormons than live with MI
son." Mr.. Nilsson said his wife liked 10
have big parties at his home and nave
choice feasts. He secured a divorce.
w. B. w. Hallett was Mr. Nllsoh
counsel.
Margaret Bamford asked and was
granted a divorce from her huspahu'
Edwin Bamford on the ground Oh non
support. The petitioner says her nus
band is tanitor of schools in Centrai
Falls and when he left her simply sent
her a letter. saying he would never re,
turn. That was some years ago anu
Mrs Ramford has since brought up her
three children. Theodore r. Greene
was counsel for petitioner.
In one case Judge Douglas refused
divorce. as the couple were very young
and had lived aparS only six months
and the testimony in regard to nom
support was not very strong.
Judge Douglas said few plain, but
appropriate words Of advice to the
young woman. who seemed not TO nave
any idea OF the seriousness OF the step
she was taking.
A woman. whose husband is in jail as
a common drunkard. told the court she
had TO set up nights and mix drinks
for the man she wanted to be legally
separated from.

Insurgents Active In southern Luzon.

MANILA, May 22.-General Bell, com-
manding the hemp provinces of south
ern Luzon, has issued an order to his
off GERS not to attempt to organize the
municipal governments as prescribed
by Major General Otis in his recent
order, on account Of the disturbed con-
ditions. The Americans occupy few
coast towns, which the insurgents sur
round, constantly assaiing the garri-
sons, which are too small to attempt op-
erations in the surrounding country.
Major Wise, with two companies, is in
Donsol, an important town of Sorso-
gon, surrounded by thousand insurg-
ents. The Americans occupy trenches
and are continually exchanging shots
with the enemy. Several regiments
are needed to control each southern
province but they cannot be spared
from their present stations.

mix-Up over Montana senatorship.

BUTTE, Mont, May 19-Governor
Smith yesterday sent dispatches from
here to Senator W. A. Clark, Senator
Chandler, chairman of the committee
on privileges and elections, and Sena-
tor Frye, president Of the senate, saying
he had disregarded and revoked the
action of Lieutenant Governor Spriggs
in naming Mr.. Clark to succeed to the
vacancy caused by his own resignation,
and saying he had named Martin Ma
ginnis of Helena to fill the vacancy.
The governor gives as his reasons his
opinion that the appointment of Mr.
Clark by the lieutenant governor was
tainted by Hollusion and fraud. The
governor also issued an open letter to
the people of the state denying he had
any knowledge of the contemplated
step when he left Montana for Cali
fornia. Martin Maginnis was del
egate in congress for the territory when
Montana became state.
