About two months ago Josie Hulbert was in front of her house when she saw her mother, Mrs. Rhodes, and a hired man named David Long going past in a buggy. She called to them to stop, but as Josie and her mother were not on very good terms, Mrs Rhodes told Long to drive on. Josie there- upon became quite vehement, and, pulling a large revolver with several loads in it to the surface of her toilet, she fired a couple of shots at Long, one of the balls hitting him In the head. Josie was arrested and ever since that memorable day has been lying on & cot In the county jail Yesterday a second chapter was added to the story, Which goes to show that the days of chivalry and romance are not oyer yet It seems that Long had never understood Just how charming Josle was until the day she shot at him. As soon as the ball hit him the thought flashed through his brain that there was the .girl he had been looking for. attorney, Yesterday ho had a talk with the county in which he stated that he did not belleve that the girl meant to kill him; he thought she was merely suffering from an overdose of something intoxlcating. He was willing to overlook all that if they would let him marry the girl and take her out of jail. S0 a marriage license was procured, and the prospects are that the betrothal which was 80 romantically commenced will end in Josle leaving Sheriff Hagzen's hotel, for the time belng at least The ¥oon This soclal organization of the young men will give a lawn socisl at the home of E.

A secretary was appointed by the men and an invitation extended to all who were out of anything to eat and a way to get it to come up and have their names enrolled, in order that they might have the preference over those who were less unfor- tunate. The gathering finally broke up after it had been agreed to attend the council meeting In the evening and make another effort to induce the city council to do some- thing for them.

The council met in Mayor Cleave and Aldermen Nicholson, Grahl, and Rishton occupied seats on the sido of the room, while on the east Aldermen White and Brewlck, with hiz- zoner the mayor and the clerk in the mid- dle. City Attorney Hazelton had a seat by the window There was conslderable other brought up, however, besides that erence to the unemployed. in horrible shape, and some of the thought it ought to be fixed. in order to stop the everlasting reports of the grand jury about it, but a majority said let it alone. A petition that was presented severul woeks ago by James McCabe and 400 other property owners asking for the cutting down of Canning nhill, the paving of east Pierce street and a lot of other improvements for the benefit of the unemployed, was brought up. Rishton moved that it be laid over, and that was the end of it. The petition for paving North Twentieth street, read by George Hunter at the Mon- day night meeting, was also read, amid much laughter. When the request that Oakland avenue be paved came up one of the aldermen asked if DeHaven's name was aflixed to the petition. Attorney Hazelton replied that DeHaven, Sapp and Saguin were prepared to enjoin any attempt they might make to pave the avenue. It was finally decided to report for passage the ordinance for sewering Oakland avenue, and to lay over the paving ordinance for one month. The question was then talked of whether or not the dirt from Fairmout park should be used in filling up the streets around Cochran park. Alderman Keller said the city had no right to do this. As a sop to the laboring clagses, however, it was finally decided to alow Twenty-first street to be filled, provided the property owners on that street between First and Second avenues didn’t kick, but it was noticeable that the council didn't agree to pay for any of the work. “If we ever get this gang after us,™ said Keller, referring to the laboring men, “we never will get any rest.” The Manawa electric rallway ordinance then came (o the front.

In the first place, the law prohibits the commission from contracting a_debt to pay for land. It also prohibits the com- mission, acting on behalf of the state, from receiving any donation, yet it requires the commission to buy 320 acres of land. The commission has found that for the sum of $12,000 they cannot buy a 320-acre site near th vn"of Cherokee, and therefore the new insane asylum has come to a dead standstill. ~ Nothing can be done. At the meeting of ‘the commission the attorney general and the state auditor were pres- ent, and they agreed with the commis- sloners that there Is no road out; therefore the new asylum must wait until'the meet- ing of the next general assembly.

CLAIMS ~ FIFTEEN MILLION Government fets Up'® Lien Against the Property of a California Croesus, STANFORD ESTATE'S, DEBT TO UNCLE SAM Attorney General Olney Filea a Claim for the Late Senator'sShare of What the Central Pacific ' Owes the Government, WASHINGTON, June 6.—Reprosentative Meguire of California’vouthes for the state- ment that Attorney General Olney has filed in behall of the United States a claim against the estate of the late Senator Stan- ford for $15,000,000. The clatm will be pre- sented to Mrs. Stanford, who Is the execu trix of the estate. Mrs. Stanford Is not in the city, but is ebelieved to be either in San Francisco or at Menlo park. It can- not be sald what action she will take in the matter, but it s helleved she will re- ject the claim. The claim {s that the pro- portéonate share of the deht of the Central Pacific railroad which the Department of Justice estimates that the estate owes the United States upcn the theory that the per of individual members of the original Central Pacific syndicate are liable for the debt of that corporation now due or which will become due It Mrs. Stanford rejects the claim the De- partment of Justice will have to decide what further steps will be taken. It 1s un. derstood ‘hat the claim was filed under the California statute 8o that the statute of limitaticn may not prevail against it. The claim is filed now in order to protect every sonal assets the government possible Interest the United States may have in the Stanford estate through the affairs of the Central Pacific road The attorney general explains that the claim was filed under the Califonia statutes in order to prevent the statute of limitation from running against it. That Is, he e plained, while the statute of limitation can- not run against the United States, yet an estate against which the United States has a claim may be probated, settled and di- vided without regard to the United State: claim unless such clalm is filed within the period provided in the state laws for such flling, ~ Otherwise an estate againct which the United States had a possible claim could*never be settled. The general theory upon which the de- partment is proceeding scems to be that the original Central Pacific syndicate, Hunting- ton, Sanford, Hopkins, Crocker and Colton, really constituted a co-partnership, con- trolling at all times and absolutely all the constructjon companies and other corpor tlons connected with or engaged in building the road, and used such companies and side corporations as a mere agency to further their personal ends and to erect the fabric of their fortunes. Under this theory, the failure of the Central FPacific to meet its engagements was caused by the diversion of the road’s assets through these agencles to the members of the syndicate and these per- persons were involuntary trustees of the funds thus diverted,and that therefore their private fortunes, being the ultimate pro- ceeds of such diverted eiirnings of the road, are properly holden for the debts, created and left unpaid. ESTATE IS NOT LARGE ENOUGH. SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.—The claim for $15,000,000 filed against the Stanford es- tate by Attorney Generhl Olney as a pre liminary step to force the government's claim agalnst the ‘original holders of the Central Pacific grant, has caused the great- est excitement. It {8 mow learned that the government’s claims were presented May 26, but that an attempt was made to keen the proceedings secret in order that the financial operations of the estate need not be embar- rassed. The late Senator Stanford'spestate was recently appralsed at $17,600,000. Since the appraisement heavy obligations have been miet, and |t is stated now that the en- forcement of ' the 'government claim would practically * wipe out _ the estate, mnot only leaving the widow penniless, but cutting off the bene- ficiaries under the late senator’s will, includ- ing the endowment of $2,500,000 to the Stan- ford university. - It Is even said that the estate, after the liquidation of its acknowl- edged debts, may not equal the amount of the claim of the government. In this event Senator Stanford’s deed of trust under which Stanford university was founded would not stand, in case the decision of thf courts should be in favor of the government and the university would necessarily be sacrificed to satisfy the judgment. Mrs, Stanford, in an Interview, has stated that the government's claim will be resisted to the fullest extent of her ability. ~She re- gards the proceedings in the nature of a test case and was not surprised at the flling of the claim. Further than these statements she would not talk. MORTGAGE NOT A DEBT. An idea of the probable defense was glven last night by Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Stanford’s attorney. In an interylew he said: “The opinion of the attorney general of the United States is entitled to a great deal of consid- eration, but he Is proceeding on a Wrong assumption. 1 am free to say that I don't think the government will ever be able to collect anything from the estate of the late Leland Stanford. The government Issued the bonds to aid in the construction of the Central Pacific railroad, but neither Mr. Stanford nor any one else ever agreed to pay the government back. The bonds operate on a second mortgage. It Is not a debt, and while the attorney general is perfectly right that in Californla the members of & corpora- tion are personally responsible for the debts of the corporation he is wrong In assuming that the mortgage s a debt.” “You cannot compel a man to pay a mortgage. 1t I borrow $1,000 on a piece ot property valued at $500 e holder of the mortgage cannot compel me to pay it when it becomes due. He can foreclose the mortgage and take the property and that is all. So In this case of the Central Pacific rafiroad, the government holds a second mortgage on the company's property of $60,000,000. The government by paying the fist mortgage of $60,00,000 can foreclose the second mortgage and get control of the road. But it s not to be presumed that the United States would care to expend $120,000,000 to get control of a railroad that could ‘be built for one-third that amgunt.’ William F. Harris, the railroad company's chief counsel, gave a similar expression of opinion. Neither of these lawyers, how- ever, enter into discussion of the allegations oftered by Congressman Maguire and others loudest in the demand for prosecution of the claims against C. P. Huntington and the Stanford and Croker, Searls and other estates, Today s which Mrs, the last day under the law Stanford has to accept or re- | | | sect the government's clatin. 1t is Letieved she will stmply ignore the claim, which in Jaw amounfs to rejection.
