DAVIS GETS A CALL DOWN.
George Davis has found his match in
Henry Highton of San Francisco. and
the freak attorney is beginning to real
ize the fact.
Yesterday morning in Judge Gears
court the Sumner case was again call
ed UP, on the question of the qualiica-
ton of the court to. e the matter.
Davis objected saying that the court
obtained no jurisdiction until the four
teen days allowed to answer had ex-
pired. f. E. Thompson and Mr.. High
ton both opposed this stand, claiming
that a respondent could defend himself
as soon as he could get into court. Mr..
Highton asked that the court first de-
eide as to his qualification and Gear
replied that if he did hold he had juris-
Iia*iOn Io would MI haor tho q hp-
cause he was disqualified.
Mr.. Highton asked that he be allow
ed until this morning to argue the ques-
ton of jurisdiction which the court
granted. Their Davis jumped up and
said that there was nothing before the
court, the matter of jurisdiction had
already been decided and if anything
was to be done it would only be an
attempt on the part of the respondents
to set the case for trial before the time
for the return of the summons. Davis
glared at Mr.. Highton in his usual
ferocious way while addressing his re
marks to the court and when he had
finished, the latter arose and stated
that he wasn't used to having attor-
neys Jumping down his throat." 90
am not in the habit of indulging in per-
sonalities myself, and l object to the
conduct of counsel" said Mr.. Highton
Davis left the court room telling every
n in the neighborhood that it was
only an attempt to get newspaper no.
toriety, while Highton a il that Davis
was trying to be a bully, but he didn't
intend to be bulldozed by him..
