DEFENDS TENETS
THOUGH INSANE
MEENACH TELLS OF STRANGE
SOCIETY
Realty Man Who Shot His Partner
Gwartney, Is Adiudged of Un-
sound Mind and Goes
Asylumward

James H. Meenach, who has been il
| custody since January 81 upon q charge
of assaulting George K. Gwartney with
deadly weapon, was yesterday ad-
judged insane in the superior court.
When being taken back to Jail after
his trial Meenach attempted to assault
G. A. Puntney and j. j. Hogan of the
Crescent Realty and Investment com
pany, his former employers. These
men had appeared as witnesses in the
lunacy proceedings and their testimony
angered Meenach.
He has some theory that has un-
balanced his mind. He believes that he
can exert control over the elemental
forces of nature and seems to be the
reincarnation of the immortal J. N.
well known among newspaper men, and
also recently committed to an asylum.
An Entydemonian
The Entydemonian society is what
Meenach calls the body that ne belongs
to and he declares that he is a pro-
fessor of all the secrets that this or
ganiZation controls.
He says that death is not inevita bly,
the result of life; that men should live
thousand or a million years of they
desire.
The Gwartney case attracted much
attention at the time and since he tes-
titled at the preliminary hearing
Gwartney has gone away, some saying
that the fear of Meenach was the AMI
mating cause. The two We're partners
in the real estate business and had
some disagreement which led to dis
solution of the partnership. Their Of
fees had been in Gwartneys residence,
and after something of a controversy
over the liabilities of the different part
ners had taken place the question of
an unpaid gas bill led to Meenach pro-
curing weapon and shooting Gwart-
ney dangerously.
In court there was a dramatic scene
when Mr.. Puntney was testifying rela-
tive to the society of which Meenach
claims to be a member
Meenach arose and passionately de-
clared that they could say anything
about him personally that they wanted
to, but that he would defend the tenets
of the Entydemonians with his life.

The fact that the contract has been
let for the immediate erection of the
greater Hamburger department store,
a $1,500,000 improvement, on the south
west corner of Broadway and Eighth
streets, has caused renewed activity in
securing business frontage in that
quarter of the city.
Simon Stoll of the stationery firm of
Stoll & Thayer, is the owner of the
southeast corner of Broadway and
Eighth street, 50x162h feet, and the
southwest corner of Spring and Eighth
streets, 5Ox1621a feet, the property ex-
tending through from Broadway to
Spring, 325 feet on the south side of
Eighth street. The property was
leased Monday to e. P. johnson, jr.,
for term of fifty years, and will be
improved by a syndicate of capitalists,
who will erect a hotel or business
block on the two corners at an outlay
of sums variously stated at from $780,
900 to $1,000,000. A number of frame
structures and a small brick building
row occupy the Eighth street frontage.
These structures will be removed or
RACED to give place to modern fireproof
buildings. Efforts are being made to
secure other valuable frontage in the
same vicinity. Owners CT property are
not willing to sell, but they will give
long time leases.

Verdict for Miss Goodman.

The following from a recent issue of paper published at North Yakima, Wash, will be read with interest by many peo- pie in this locality, as Mr. Good man ard family formerly resided in Springdale;
 \ verdict of s2400 was return ed yesterday morning by the jury in the case of ]. (. Goodman vs. William Northey, Will Northey and Otto No1they, for S5400 dam ages against the defendants for injuries sustained by Bessie Good man, daughter of J. (. Goodman, while in the employ of the Yaki- ma Steam Laundry Company on February 15, 1905.
 When the verdict was rendered Miss Goodman could scarcely con- tain herself, and when she reach ed the court room door she ex- claimed, "Oh, papa, we have won.
 The case will in all probabili- ties be taken to the supreme court on appeal. It was stubbornly contested on both sides and opinion regarding the verdict is divided. The jury, however, was not long in making up it's mind, and 1t is rumored that some of the iurymen were in favor of yer dict for a greater amount.

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
f. H. Gregg of Magdalena Has II
During n Recent Visit Down in
Mexico.

+. II. Gregg. the genial mana
ger for the Graphic company up
in the Magdalena district, recent
ly visited Mexico. While in So
corro a few days ago. Mr.. Gregg
told of a thrilling episode that
came very near to the line of his
own experience down in the
neighboring rep bile. Mr.
Gregg had Just taken breakfast
at a hotel and stepped outside
the door when Mr.. Lago, a
Spanish gentleman who had en-
tertained him only a night or
two before, entered the same
dining room and took a place at
the same table with young
American named Horton, a
friend of Mr.. Gregg's. Present
ly entered Mr.. Marin, another
Spanish gentleman, who was a
bitter enemy of Mr.. Lagos, and
seated himself at the same table
Now according to the rules of
Spanish etiquette il is rank in
suit for one gentleman to seat
himself at the same table with
another with whom he is at en-
nifty. Mr.. Lago promptly threw
a cupful of hot coffee at Mr..
Marin's face, but missed his
mark and gave Mr.. Horizons face
the benefit of the hot liquid, and
instantly drew his gun and shot
Mr.. Marin dead. Mr.. Horton
was not right sure that the cof-
fee and pistol shot were not
intended for him. He made a
haSty exit from the dining room
and in a magnificent burst os
speed ran distance of a hum
dred yards in about ten seconds,
according to Mr.. Gregg's eSti-
mate, to a place of safety behind
some ore cars standing on the
track. An old miner who hap
pened to be loading ore into one
of the cars greeted the runner
with Hi there! young feller,
you ort MT to endanger yourself
that away. You're likely TO lose
your breath if you run like that. y
And thus ended the tragico-
comedy.
