SAN RAFAEL, April'13.—M. F. Coch- rane, the assignee of Colonel Peter F. Finnigan, an insolvent debtor, and charg- ed with having committed fraud upon the creditors, cnerated from the allegation by Lennon, as well as res tion of assignee from w! pended two weeks ago. It was shown in open court to-day that o0t only were the assertions made against Cochrane utterly without foundation, but Judge Lennon asserted from the bench that the court had been imposed upon and that never again would any similar peti- tion for suspension be granted unless pre- sented by the petitioner in person or by an authorized attorney, and then it must come with some substantial proof upon which to base the claim. Cochrane was charged by Judge ich he was sus- William ‘L._'l‘l'le' Jr.,, as one of the creditors and | acting for the balance of them, with com- mitting coilusion and fraud upon the cred- itors of Finnigan by effecting a so-called compromise by selling property for $410 that in reality was worth a great deal more. This petition was made two weeks ago in the Superior Cour¢ of Marin County and Judge Lennon was asked to remove Cochrane as assignee. His Honor sus- pended Cochrane temporarily and set to- day as the time to show cause why such suspension should not be made perma- nent. This afternoon the matter came up. William Lange Jr., the petitioner, did not and his attorney- were both in cou Cochrane's zttorneys introduced eviden to show 1hat no fraud had been commit- ted and that a compromise of about 43 cents on the dollar was the very best that could be effected. They further iu- troduced afdavits to show that Adolph B. Spreckels, one of the creditors, knew | nothing of the petition and did not guestion Mr. Cochrane’'s motives in the matter in the least. The affidavit of Charles Bone, another creditor, was still stronger, emphatically asserting that | retition had been presented to him ionel Finnigan to sign and tha: he to do so, as he bhe- lieved the s>itlement to creditors was done I good faith and was the best that could be had | Ccchrane vent uoon the witness stand and swore that before selling the pron- «rty he had consuited with A.

Spreck- els and Charles Bone, obtaining théir ccnsent; that Lange was no creditor at all, and that the whole scheme had heen concocted by Colomel Finnigan to got something himself out of the property when he hail @eclpred Iimself insolvent. Finnigan was pht upon the stand, but was very vague in his assertions and made most evasive answers in cross-ex- amination as well as to the court. Judge | Lennon questioned Finnigan closely as to | where he procured the petition which he | brought over for him to pass upon. Fin- Other interrogations brought forth the same evasive answers, whereupon Judge Lennon said: «T was imposed upon in this matter. This Mr. Lange should be here in court at least to show good faith in this m:n-{‘ ter. He had no right to bring this mat- | ter before me on any such wing as | has been made here. It is v clear to | my mind that the assignee in this case did everything that was correct and did it in good faith. Not only has th | was this afternoon wholly ex-| ored to the posi-| ache?

Woudn’t you, if you were a suf-* ferer, follow his advice, knowing that he bore living, sentient, vital testimony to the wonderful vir- tues of this great natural remedy? WELL, that is just what Hugo Hutt, strongest man in the Philadelphia Fire Department, hero of a hundred battles with the flames, is doing now through the medium of this newspaper. Hugo Hutt has been connected with the Philadelphia Fire De- partment for the past four years. He is stationed at the engine house at Nineteenth and Callow- hill Streets.

ERE is the story as he gave it to a special representative of Philadel- phia's Great Newspaper, “The Norti. American”: “You will hardly belicve it when I tell you there was a time when my body was in such a diseased londition that my relatives and friends would have, at no time, been surprised to learn of my death. It was all due to kidney trouble, for which I could secure ne relief. I was under the care of my fam- ily physician for a number of years, but he was unable to do me any good. I also consulted two noted specialists on kidney diseases, but they were unable to give me more than temporary re- lief. I had already made application to join the army, but was turned down on account of my bad physical condition. “I was advised to try that greatest of all remedies—SWAMP-ROOT. “l wrote to Dr. Kilmer & Co., at Binghaniton, N.

My work, both in the army and fighting fires in Philadel- phia, has been of the most arduous, and work that I could not do did I not have a strong physique. “I do not know what the words ‘Kidney Trouble’ mean now, and do not expect to.

The act was the result of a long pent- up wrath existing among the citizens of Clovis because of .the importation of Greeks there to work in the mills. The citizens assert that the Greeks come there under contract, paying a percentage of their wages to the men who get them their jobs and taking the positions away from other men by agreeing to work for less. —_— HUNTINGTON, W.
