and wanted to know why anyone
who had complaint to make did
not do 80 through the columns OF
our more ponderous contemporaries.
At the same time, he frightened the
boys into signing a document ex-
culpating him and his methods with
expulsion from the service il they
failed to do as he wanted them to,

IN NJ MILAN SUIT
Harney's Ruling in Litiga-
ton Brought Against
J.A. Murray Et AL.

In denying a motion for judgment upon
the pleadings in the case OF ID. Mcmillan
against James A. Murray and others,
Judge Harney held that during the devel-
opment OF a mine under a lease there are
certain classes of work that must be done
that could hardly be chargeable as extra
expenses.
The court made ruling TO this effect
today in denying the motion OF the plain
tiff for the judgment asked
1t appears that the plaintiff had lease
and contract with Mr.. Murray upon the
Tycoon mine, in which it was agreed
that Mr.. Murray would pay for certain
work. such as sinking and timbering The
plaintiff sued for the amount claimed for
extra work. The defendants filed an an
swer denying many OF the allegations Of
the complaint, and after hearing argu-
ments upon motion for judgment upon
the pleadings the court overruled the mo-
ton.
Judge Harney today sustained the mo-
tion to strike out parts OF the amended
answer in the case of p. ]. Brophy against
II. Kalousick and others and allowed the
defense ten days in which to prepare a
bill OF exceptions. The action is one on
account,
The demurrer to the complaint was sus-
tanned by Judge Harvey today in the case
Of Hclming against Kropfgang.

JOHNSON MAY DIE
Then 1t Will Be a Ques-
ton as to Who Killed
Livingston Man.

Livingston, Feb. It.--The report that
Snakes" Johnson, the man who was
stabbed by Kid Jones in this city about a
month ago, was suffering from an abscess
which is the result Of the wound received
by him at the time of the fight, is un-
true. DR.. Cogswell the physician who is
attending Johnson, says that Johnson has
developed what is known as phlebitis---an
obstruction in one of the veins OF his
leg.
II Johnson should die, the point taken
by DR.. Cogswell would Immediately be-
come OF great importance to the young
man now under arrest, charged with the
assault. 1t would become matter of
proof, depending upon medical testimony,
as to whether Johnson's death was the
result OF ceptic poisoning from the knife
wound, or whether he died fro" other
causes.
