JUE GUN IS
IN COURT AGAIN
DISASTERS FOLLOWED HIS BOOM
ALLEGED WIFE.

The sentencing of Jue Gun, for peCn-
age, was postponed to Wednesday
morning this morning by Judge Dole.
Jue Gun pleaded guilty and sentence
has been postponed several times Gil
motions by Cathcart. When another
motion was made this morning District
Attorney Breckons suggested that the
defense appeared to be trying to get as
near as possible to the day on which
everyone ought to be, and everyone
here is, full of generous feeling.
Judge Dole said he didn't think that
the nearness of Christmas would affect
his judgment in passing sentence, and
the case was postponed.
Jue Gun has already been in Jail
some time, under a Territorial sem
tence. His case mas also been before
Judge Estee, in the form of a contest
over the possession of his alleged wife,
which was also transferred to Gears
court. Jue Gun lost on every point in
the civil cases, and is now twice a
criminal defendant, with a prospect
of a long term.
The litigation which brought all this
about was begun by Jue Gun himself
| He brought a petition to secure posses
sion of the woman who had escaped
from him and whom he declared to be
his wife, and the revelations of the trial
brought on all the rest.
