THAT $5,OOO SUIT
Doctor and Lawyer Dispute as to Location of
 the Liver.

Judge Thayer and the jury in the superior court to-day resumed the hearing of Antonio Delabella's case vs the Holmes, Booth & Haydens Go for $5,OO0 damages for the death of An drea DelabelIa. It is claimed by the plaintiff that Andrea was killed by the negligence of the company in oversee ing it's machinery, while the company claims the man was killed through his own carelesSness.
 For q while this afternoon Attorney Kellogg, counsel for the defendant, and Dr De Liguori witness for the plain tiff, were at cross purposes. The doc tor said he examined De1abella after the accident which caused his death and among other injuries found him suffering from bruised liver and injury to his intestines.
 Did you see the liverg' asked MT Kellogg.
 The question seemed to amaze the witness for a while and then he said he did not see it.
 Then how do you know it was bruised?' was the next question. If the first question amazed the doctor, this one seemed to have struck him dumb, for he did not answer for a mo- ment. Then he said that of course he Knew the liver was bruised. This mat, ter having been disposed of the ques- tion of injury to the intestines was taken up. The doctor said he did not know which intestine was injured, but that it was injured there could be no question.
 Then he was asked where the liver was and the doctor stood up and rubbed his right hand over the region of what is popularly supposed to be the stomach. and in response to an other question said the liver near the front wall of the abdomen.
 Is 1t in front or back of the front wall of the abdomen?'' he was asked.
 Ut is in the front wall in the back of the abdomen was the answer.
 This did not enlighten Mir Kellogg, and again the question was propound- ed and for some, minutes both lawyer and doctor were hard at it, the former trying to enlighten the latter on the in ternal machinery of the human body.

BELL DEFIEs COURT.
'Adiutant General Says Soldiers Will
 Protect Him.

OURAY, Colo, April 12. Districr Judge Theron Stevens has declared Adjutant General Sherman M. Bell and Captain Bulkley Wells to be in con tempt of court for not complying with the writ of habeas corpus which re quired the officers to bring before the court Charles II. Mover, president of the Western Federation of Miners, whom they are holding in confinement at Telluride.
 General Bell, through Assistant Dis trict Attorney David Howe of Tellu- ride excused his failure to produce Mr. Mover on the ground that he deem- ed it unsafe to bring Mover to Ouray or to reduce the military force in San Miguel county by so doing and that the governor had ordered him to dis regard the writ.
 Judge Stevens said:
 '@The people of Ouray will rightly re sent the imputation that General Bell or Captain Wells could not come alone and i'll safety with President Mover before this court.
 "A very grave question is presented as to whether it is the striking miners or the governor of Colorado and the national guard that are engaged in iil- surrection and rebellion against the laws of the state.
 If there is be reign of military despotism in this state and civil au- thority is to have no Jurisdiction, the latter Il sht as well go out of busi- nes.S.''
 Judge Stevens refused to permit the filing of the return to the writ, ordered that Charles H. Mover be discharged from custody, issued an order of at tachment against General Bell and Captain Wells assessed a fine of $500 each and expressed regret that the gov ernor was not before the court, as he held him equally guilty with General Bell and Captain Wells. A Telluride dispatch says that when ] General Sherman NJ Bell was informed l that Judge Stevens had ordered him. self and Captain Wells confined in the Ouray county jail for contempt he said: "If Sheriff Corbett takes us to Ouray, 1 it will have to be over the dead bodies of all the soldiers under my command in this county. He has not men enough 1 to do that The situation demands that we stay in Telluride.
 MT. Mover will never be produced l ir court until Governor Peabody or ders me to- produce him, unless he es- capes and gets over the range on snow l shoes.

The name seems excellent food for the poet, sounding like doom. moon, groom or even loon The king and his goat skinned covered retinue came from Patagonia via Montevideo and Eng land
