Peckerman'’s son“Benny’ was bad- ly damaged by Eugene Eber, a young man who is employed at the pawnshop. The elder Peckerman has conducted the pawn- shop for many years, but last week he failed. and those who know the inside of the old man's affairs declare that his fortune were ruined by the T of his two sons, Joseph and . both of whom are well known on the coast.

Mr. Boyd denies such an amount is due, but in his pleadings practically acknowledges that the profits amount to the sum stated: but he claims the entire amount | for his services on behalf of Davis' in- terests. Figures produced in court yester. day _show that just prior to Davis” death he had $1.059,187 64 invested in the firm, while Boyd had the sum of 3$969.000 in- vested, showing an overdraft on his part for a large sum.

Accordingly a committee composed of three members of the union—John Pear- son, A. Ekman and M. Crowell—put out in a small boat to inquire into the matter.

Upon being informed, he asked the mate if the three men were wanted on board.

In discussing the affair night Mr. Furuseth said: ““We at first intended to present the affidavit to the Police Com- missioners, but as they did not meet la night we filed it with Chief Lees, be- lieving that would do as well. We were on undecejve , for Chief Lees gave us He very un willingly affidavit and ad. vised us to take the matter to the courts. He said we had no to bring it to him or the Commi.
