LIVERMAN GETS
new TRIAL

Judge Huneke has decided to give
Amos Boughton a North Side livery
man, another chance to recover dam
ages for the loss of a team hired
at his stable and ruined by over
driving or neglect
c. f. Storey hired team of horses
from Boughton and drove to Liberty
Lake, where he delivered the team to
Kalez & Winch, proprietors of the
Rockaway restaurant on Sprague
avenue, who also conduct a hotel and
stable at Liberty Lake. At the re-
quest of Storey, Kalez e. Winch re-
turned the team to the liveryman.
Mr.. Boughton claims that the
horses were nearly dead when they
were returned to him. One of them
died very soon and the other has
never been of any service. Bough-
ton brought an action to recover for
the horses and on the trial, about
three weeks ago. Judge Huneke
granted a nonsuit as to KaleZ &
Winch. holding that they could not
be held liable.
Boughton moved for a new trial
and Judge Huneke has reversed his
former decision and granted the mo-

death was due to an overdose Of
strychnine and that mistake in his
diagnosis Of the case was impossible.
Following so closely upon the re-
ceipt Of cablegram from the sheriff
at Honolulu denying responsibility
for the message sent over his name,
In which it was stated that strych-
nine had been found in the bicarbon-
ate of soda the local police are more
COMPOUNDED than ever. At least they
pretend to be COMPOUNDED, but there
is an impression that they are simply
"stalling" for the purpose Of clouding
every development until the inquest
Chief of Police Spillane is quoted
this morning as saying the case had
'blown up" presumably on the as
sumption that chemists had failed to
find traces of strychnine in Mrs.
Stanford's stomach. This statement
is not taken seriously and it's evil
dent insincerity is strengthened by
the announcement that ex-Butler
Beverly and Miss Richmond, former
maid, will again be examined by the
police this afternoon.
The chemists report is expected
today, but there is little likelihood
that it will be made public until it is
introduced as evidence at the inquest.
Chief of Police Spillane this after
noon denied that the Honolulu sher-
if had disclaimed responsibility for
the cablegram saying that strychnins
had been found in the bicarbonate of
soda.
Private cablegrams from Honolulu
say the police and newspapers there
are making a sad mess of the case.
A representative of a private de-
tective agency working on the case
held a conference with the chief of
police this morning, but the nature
of it was not divulged.
Neither the police nor representa-
tives at the Stanford estate have any
advices from Honolulu this morning.

Davis NJ. Harvey Of the United
States navy is at his home in this
city on a leave of absence.
Mr.. Harvey recently returned from
the scene of the conflict waging be
tween Japan and Russia. He was
attached to the cruiser New Orleans
which has lately arrived in San Fran
cisco from the orient.
Mr.. Harvey witnessed a fierce
naval engagement of Port Arthur
last July between the Japs and Rus
slams, in which 10 battleships took
part. He gives a vivid and interest,"
ing description of the battle.
Mr.. Harvey says It was clearly APP
parent that the belligerents lacked
good gunners on both sides for, while
they blazed away for hours, not a
ship was sunk on either side. Had
the Yankee gunners directed the fire
the result would have been different.
One of the battleships in that en-
gagement was the MouoNie, purchased
by the Japanese government from the
United states about the time Secre-
tary Whitney began rebuilding our
navy. After the naval fight witness
cd by Mr.. Harvey the Japs sunk the

FOR A FINGER

E. Bolinger is seeking to enforce a
claim Of $500 for personal injuries
against A. L. Newton.

near Spokane last May when he lost

minski was the foreman for Newton
in the operation of the mill.
