 SUITS FOR FEES.-Justice Gray spent a good part of yesterday trying the case of E. W. Lewis versus Joe Lambeye. The plaintiff asked for judg- ment for S195. alleging that he had earned the usual fee for foreclCsing a mortgage. The defendant claimed that he only owed the attorney a collectors fee as the mortgage had never been .foreclOsed. It was tried before a jury which rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $21.35. As the plaintiff had already collected s25 there was nothing doing in Q financial way.
 POOR OLD MARCUS.-Poor old Marcus Estrada can't keep out of jail any way he can fix it. If it isn't any thing else the same old charge of drunkenness, or another one just like it, is always in order. And when the police haven't anything else to do they go out and arrest Marcus for drunken ness. They hadn't anything else to do yesterday so Marcus was nailed and the recorder sent him to jail for thirty days just to keep him out of the hands of the police. He probably thought Jailer Hill would be more sympathetic.
 A DEAD PALM TREE.-Though this is a remarkably healthy country the trees cannot live forever no more than the people can. One of the big palm trees on the city hall plaza recently submitted to the inevitable and yester- day it was submitted to the ax. A good sized crowd of citizens gathered round the officials who were attending to the obsequees for there were interesting things to see. Though this country is full of palm trees they are long lived and seldom die and not one in a thOus- and ever took particular notice of the roots and the internal economy ci the trunk of one of these big trees. It is interesting. to say the least and there is at least a six inch layer of rats nest under the bark and outside of the solid
 fibre.
