 Judge Kent made an effort this morning to get attorneys J. F. Wilson and walter Bennett for Parish and Eugene s.

This afternoon a case will come up for trial before Justice Burdick, dur ing the course of which handwriting experts will undoubtedly be calleA in. as the complainant swore to a com plaint charging the defendant with forgery, and the defendant asserts that the plaintiff hmiself wrote the sigma ture, the question seems to be. who wrote the order? The complaining witness in the case is x. Harris. a miner, and the defendant is Joseph krilanovich, proprietor Of the Brew cry Gulch restaurant
 Yesterday afternoon Harris appear ed before Judge Burdick and swore to a complaint charging the defendant with having forged bis name to an or. der for $5, and obtaining value for the same at the Copper Queen store, the amount being deducted from his wages. Krilanovich was arrested and later released on bond to appear this afternoon st o'clock for his hearing
 krilanovich contends that Harris himself wrote the order, and gave it to him in payment for board. He states that the miner was in the dis trict before and after boarding at his place gave an order which was found to be void when presented at the store for payment. He states that Harris then left the district, but came back a few days ago, and started in to board again at the restaurant. paving for his eating with an order. which hriianovich presented for payment. and at the same time presented the oid order, which had not been paid

 Officials of neither the Western Union nor Postal would make a state ment tonight The strike did not deyeIae until after office hours, and neither CIowry nor Nally could be reached.

 Farish's contention is that he is en- titled to 24,00G shares of the com pany's stock because of services he performed for the company in Mexico under contract, but that by juggling and fraud the management of the company has made 1t appear that he is not entitled to this stock, and has refused to issue it to him.
