San Francisco. Cal, Nov. 20 Rev.
Isaac Selby. of Australia, the plaintiff
in a damage suit, shot at Superior
Judge Hebbard while the latter was
on the bench. The bullet came within
an inch of the judges head and lodged
in the back of his chair. Selby was at
once removed to the city prison and
charged with attempt to commit MUIR
der.
Selby recently was sued for divorce.
He refused the services of a lawyer
and conducted his own defense. His
pleading was vain, however. and a de-
cree against him was granted by Judge
Hebbard. He left the court room on
that occasion, vowing vengeance.
Was Trying "a Case.
Judge Hebbard was in the midst of
a case when Selby entered the court.
He took a seat in the middle of the
room and apparently was an interested
spectator. Suddenly and without any
warning he drew revolver from the
breast of his coat and leveled it at the
judge His shot went wide, missing
the jurist's head by the fraction of an
inch, the bullet burying itself in the
wall. Before he could fire again the
judge was upon him.

promissory note under the national

suit on S2O,OOO Note.
The suit was brought by the bank
to collect a note of $4,000 with inter
est at s per cent. and was resisted on
the ground that the principal represent
ed in the note represented not only the
principal of the original note. which
was for SIS 900, but compounded inter
est on the first note and also interest
charged on an overdraft, a new note
having been made to include Oil these
charges.
State Court Upheld.
The Missouri court held that the
bank must forfeit interest since the
making of the new note and could col
lect only the original $4,000, and the
supreme court sustained that view.
