Two Divorce Gases Heard
Court House News.

There was a contest over the ap-
pointment of a trustee for the cred
itors of the n. Lasknris Co.
The first meeting of the creditors
occurred Saturday morning at the of
fee of Referee D. A, Doyle. They were
divided as to their choice for trustee.
Three names were placed in nomila'
tion. They were Attorneys f. f..
Whttemore, A. j. Wilhelm and G. r.
Grant. Mr.. Wilhelm had IA majority |
of the creditors in amount and num-
bers and was declared elected.
MILLIONS INVOLVED.
Two additional pleadings We're
filed Friday afternoon in the action
! of Charles w. Bingham. administra-
tor Of the estate of Henry b. Payne
| VS.. S. j. Ritchie ct al. This case
grows out of the complicated litigation
which has been pending in the courts
for years. The plaintiff seeks to re-
cover on Judgment which he claims
to hold against Mr.. and Mrs. Ritchie.
In his answer and cross petition Mr..
Ritchie denies that tiny valid judg-
ment was ever returned against him
in favor of Mr.. Payne, He says that
It was procured through fraud. He
elleges that he was indebted to Mr..
Payno I'm the sum of S34l 900 and that
he delivered stocks and bonds valued
at $l,30O,000 as security for the pay
mcnt of the same. He charges that
Mr. Payne, without consulting him,
had the title to the stocks and bonds
transferred to his own name. He
further alleges that he converted all
the dividends to his own use. 1t is
his contention that the administrator
of the estate has continued the same
policy and that up to date he has
, wrongfully used more than 100000
TO which he was not entitled. He re-
i, cites all the alleged wrongs which he
has sun red at the hands of Mr. Payne,
Mr.. BIngam, MIR, T. w, Cornell, and
!, the executors of the will of the last
named Judge Stevenson Burke and
5 others. These points have nll been
given in previous pleadmgs. He says
that he has been damaged in the sum
of SS30O00 for which he asks judg-
a. mcnt He also asks that the admin
= isuator of the Payne estate be ordered
to deliver to him 5000 shares of stock

Jockey Club is a member Of the Western
Jockey Club and must rely on Jockey Club
horses for its support. The reinstatement
will give New Orleans ample assurance Of
ton of the outlaws to good standing here
will have no effect on California racing. as
the tracks there have formed a jockey club
of their own and recognize neither Of the
warning factions Of the Middle West.
"Wfl the stewards of the Jockey Club go
far enough to knock all the props out from

limit. for in point of numbers II not in
quality, the outlaw tracks are nearly as
well equipped in racing material as the .le-
climate associations.
1.-The recent meeting of the Celia TILES
wing OF the Turf Congress was not
fruitful of results. But It is said that the
outlaw leaders are active none the less. that
they are laboring hard to form n Southern
circuit for winter racing. Two tracks sug-
gested as available for this purpose are the
Douglass trotting track at Louisville and
the Billings trotting track at Memphis. The
latter is q well-equipped property. and 1t
might easily be converted into a frst-class
running track.
while the Turf Congress people are slow
of action. they claim that they expect to
accomplish results in the. line of winter
racing. In fact. they will either have to do
something in that respect or else they may
expect large OBJECTIONS from their ranks
on the Part of horse owners who find 1t
necessary to continue the business through
the winter season.

was said would begin on October u, Is still
in allowance. The Chicago Gazette received

days ago in which he said that 4 definite
announcement OF dates would be made this
week. Previous conflict OF dates between
