LEGAL-TENDER CASE.

Act Of 1879 Questioned.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-An important
case which raises the question of the con-
stitutionality of the Iega1-tender provisions
of the Bland-Allison act of 1873 was sub
mitted without argument in the United
States Supreme Court to-day. The case
originated in Michigan in 1897. Stephen
Baldwin was indebted to Fred A. Baker
to the extent of 1884, and in payment ten
dered 364 silver dollars. Baker refused to
accept the silver, alleging that it was not
legal money. Baldwin brought suit in the
State courts of Michigan to compel ac-
ceptance, and those courts sustained his
contention. Baker brought the case to the
Supreme Court on writ of error

GETS HIS FEE
WITH A "ROAST'!

The Supreme Court has rendered it's
third decision in the Nobrega divorce
case, dismissing on technical grounds
an appeal against an allowance of a
fee of $1,000 to George a. Davis, by
Judge Gear but at the same time init
mating that the award was a wrong
one, and severely criticizing the attor-
ney. The court, in an opinion by Chief
Justice Frear, says that there is much
that appears to be questionable" in
the case.
Mrs. Nobrega was first awarded $751;.
900 alimony by Judge Gear, and this
was reversed. Then Gear made it $780,
900, with one-half for Davis, and the
higher court again interfered, making
the amount $4,000. Gear gave a decree
accordingly, but added on to it pro-
vision that one thousand of it must be
paid to Davis as a fee. Mrs. Nobrega
employed Andrews and Andrade to OPP
pose the fee.
During the argument Davis objected
to other counsel representing his eli
ent, and talked of professional ethics,
in answer to which the Supreme court
says:
The court finds that the appeal must
be dismissed because divorce cases are
only renewable on writ of error or ex-
ceptions, and says:
1T is to be regretted that the case is
not properly before us, as there is so
much that would seem at first glance
to-be questionable in the matter. Ex-
ceptions cannot now be taken and it is
too late to sue out a writ of error.
Whether the matter can be brought up
by any other method we need not now
undertake to say"

KEPT PRISONER IN A CELLAR

Harry B. Chiffon was taken into GUS
tody yesterday on a charge of having
abducted Maggie the IA year old daugh-
ter of Mrs. Hattie Place. The apprehen-
sion of Chiffon and the discovery of the
girl reopen quite an interesting case
that has been hanging fire for some
months.
Chiffon was arrested last September
on a charge of seducing Maggie Place.
When the time came for hearing the
preliminary examination the girl had
disappeared. Although the police seach-
ed they were unable to secure any trace
of her. Judge Wilcox refused to dis
miss the case but continued it from
time to time. In fact the court limited
in his enthusiastically vigorous fash
ion that a search of the elder Chiffon s
celler might find some trace of the
missing girl. According to the state
ments of the girl today this hint was
not so very far amiss.
She said that since September she
has been concealed in Chilton's celler on
Fort street. She had been supplied
with food and clothing by Harry. Final
ly young Chiffon is alleged to have tired
of his charge and told her to go out on
the streets today and let the police APP
prehend her. She went out and about
the first person she encountered was her
mother The police were notified. Mrs.
Place swore today to the charge of alb
duction and Chiffon was taken into
custody.

AGAIN AFTER KwANG w WEI.

AGAIN AFTER KWANG YU WEI.
The Sun Chung Kwock 30, the news
paper organ fthe Chinese reformers,
received by the Nippon Maru advices
that a serious uprising was in progress
in Kwang-Si, the province west of the
province of Canton. The uprising was
due to the squeeze" of the Mandarins
under pretense of raising revenue to
pay the share due fro mthat province
to the indemnity imposed by the pow
ers for the Boxer injuries.
1t is stated that the Picking authors
ties had seized on the uprising as a
preteXt for seeking the capture of the
Chinese reformer Kwang Yu Wei, and
had issued orders for his capture at
any cost. This order in turn was seiz-
ed on b ythe provincial authorities as
an excuse for their excuses in the
prosecution of the struggle to put down
the uprising and justification for the
atrocities they committed.
1t is stated as a fact by his friends
that kw9ng Yu Wei had no part in the
Kwang-Si uprising, and that he is in
fact in British India at this time.
Kwang Yu Wei is one of the two re-
formers for whose heads the DoWager
Empress offered $4,000 taels.
The drought in the province of Can
ton continues and this together with
the collection of taxes to pay the for
eign indemnity is causing great suffer-
ing among the poorer classes.

WILL HAVE 4 BIG WOLF HUNT.
Much Game Killed by the Beasts This
Winter In Wisconsin and Michigan.

In the woods OF northern Michigan and
northern Wisconsin wolves are more num-
erous than they have been at any time
within twenty years. They have NOT been
hunted lately because Of a reduction in
the bounty paid for scalps.
The exceptionally cold Weather and
heavy SHOWS have made them bold and
they are seen often close tn the small towns.
All farm stock is kept housed andthe wolves
70 far have not attacked any farm animal
except hogs.
They have invaded several pens al night
The dest rlction OF deer by them has been
great and they have killed many rufed
grouse, which they attack when the covey

made recently a long trip through the pine
regions. reports hat loggers say that they
have not seen wolves 80 thick for years.
He saw places where deer and grouse had
been killed by them and is convinced that
this winter wolves will kill many more deer
than were shot 10y hunters during the open
season.
Two hundred hunters of Ashland and its
vicinity are arrRn ging for a wolf hunt to
