The Judge was leaning back in his chair. Selby came through the door with a quick, stealthy tread. In one hand concealed under his coat the ex- minister clutched a révolver. He hur- ied to the door of Judge Hebbard's chambers, which is directly in front of the bench and about six yards away from it. Sracing himself against the door, Selby raised the weapon and fired at The bullet whizzed past the Judge’'s ear, tore through the heavy cushions of the chair and lodged in the hardwood back. There was much excitement until the man vas disarmed. Selby was hurried from the court- roora by Kase and O'Brien. As they rushed him along the corridor he calied back to Judge Hebbard, “I told | you that I would do this, and I did Last month Selby was again in court.

Scores of attorneys and employes of the ! City Hall went to the courtroom to congratulate the Judge on his escape. “Oh, I wasn’t born to be Kkilled by a' man like that,” he said. *“Once I had almost as narrow an escape up north. A man jammed a pistol against my ! abdomen but he did not fire.” Judge Sloss is congratulating him- self that Selby did not take a shot at him. Ever since Sloss decided against Selby, three weeks ago, he has been annoyed frequently by him. Once Selby was a prosperous clergy- man of Australia. He ran for the Aus- tralian Parliament, but was defeated. He alleged that his wife's refusal to live with him caused his defeat. Selby’s litigation in the , Superior Court has been spectacular and novel; twice he acted as his own attorney and was twice defeated. In both trials he displayed intelligence and shrewdness. On the 6th of January of this year Sel- by created a scene in Judge Heubard's court and varely escaped being sent to jail for contempt of court. After it had been shown conclusively that he had not contributed a penny toward the support of his wife for more than a year Judge Hebbard granted Mrs. Sel-. by a divorce and the custody of the children. This infuriated Selby, who arose and abused his wife, accusing her of mis- conduct with Donald McRae and criti- cizing the court for the decision ren- dered. He had spoken but a few mo- ments when Judge Hebbard interrupt- ed him, saying: “That will do from vou, gir. I consider you less of a man now than I did five minutes ago. If I hear any more from you I will send you to jail for five days. Take your seat.” | Selby showed no inclination to stop heaping slanders on the head of the woman from whom he had been judi- cially separated, and -only when the balliff forced him iInto his seat did he | stop talking. H WIFE FILES SUIT. | His wife, Theresa Beatrice Selby,!. filed her suit for divorce on July 13,/ 1903, six days after Selby had begun his suit alienating her affections. Mrs. Selby alleged that her husband was a scholar and teacher of high attainments and, should have been able to support her | and their three children, but would not; that he forced her to desert him by! traducing and tormenting her. The di- vorce was granted by Judge Hebbard on January 6 On June 4, two days| Lefore the time for appeal had elapsed, Selby filed a motion to set aside the judgment, which Judge Hebbard de- nied. In his afidavit the man said the verdict would forever exclude him from the Christian ministry in the English- speaking world, and if he was wel- comed back to Australia it would be | because “the Australians believed it to | be an tmmoral verdict given in 2 dis- credited American court.” He cited the fuc. that Robert Louls Stevenson was | » man of high attainments when desti. | tute In this city and said that he him- sell was poor ohly through lack of eps vortunity. e had, he said, in addition { to ais fectures, worked daily a8 an i | suranee agent, atchite¢tyral draughtss | man, magazine solicito#, collecto# and | teacher, He could mot be tdle aad | happy. “The defendant,™ he paid, “camé 0 America eneourageq By the Christian thutch, ptormised s kindly aveleore, and 1t has so worked out that % ¢he lawm of justice and hospitality have | beenm ¥iolated and, aftef much tadignity and suffering, he Nas beex diverced ¢n the eourts of & &ounhtry whose tnstitue tions he had spernt ¢ lifetine In defend. ing. & e ] Mutine Eye Remedy.

RS T r T e T A Master Laubenbersi told Police Judge Mogan that as he was so busily en- gaged in holding the horse, a most fiery steed, he could not have thrown to- matoes at Ah Fat even if he had de- sired to do so, which he was sure he did not, because his loygsfor the Chi- nese nation and its children 'in our midst was deepseated. Nor did he see any tomatoes thrown, although it was just poesible that one or both of his eompanions, neither of wwhom he knew ! ot could identify, might have so offend- ed. Besides, as the driver of the vagon he was held pecuniarily responsible for. »ny lose of its eargo and he was not | afflicted with » weakness fo¢ throwing away money, That tomatoes were $hrowh, however, Al Fat presented material evidence to prove, His bespattefed blouse was dis- played in eoust, dbut his unwillingness 20 swear that Samrhie l.aubenbers{ par- tictpated tn the Pespatiering #esculted 3 an order of dismissal, ®ti: .0 & €eorge Miller, the ex-eonvict whom | Patrolman O'Neill so gallantly fought and eaptured one night about & week #g0. was sent o the Superior Tourt to answer charges of ®obbery and at- tempt 16 murder.

Judge Fritz tined them $50 apiece for violat- ing the pharmacy law, and hereafter their business will be performed by a duly certificated clerk. o e ) John Roselli was sauntering down | Pacific street last Saturday evening, i when rain began to fall upon him, and, as his footgear was leaky, he helped ! himself to a pair of rubber boots that i dangled ir front of A. Somner’s store at No. 503. The theft was witnessed by a young woman, who shrilled an alarm, and John ran, plunder in hand, until he was captured after a long and exciting chase. He oftered no defense | before Tudge Conlan, and his sentenca for petty larceny is to be pronounced | this morning. . | Hana Shirata, a dainty Japanese | miss, was accompanied by her paternal relative when she appeared before Judge Mogan and stated that she would like to have Fernando Marzos . compelled to pay for the surgical ser- | vices necessftated by his horse step- ping upen her ribs as she was cross- ing Dupont street, near Pine, to pur- chase beer for her family’s vesper meal. | “Me cross strit,” she explained, “wit’ | | pitcha fo' be', an’ hoss it 'im stip on | reeb. Me en bed one wik.’ Her father gave cbrroborative testi- mony, and Mr. Marzo was given until | to-day to pay the doctor’s bill. P Judge Cabaniss dismissed the larceny charge which Amos Hicks had filed against Miss Bessie Craig, because the | young woman proved conclusively that the articles she was accused of stealinZ | | from the complainant’'s apartments were given by him to her as love tokens and that his prosecution of her was prompted by desire to prevent her threatened transfer of affection from him to a better-looking wooer. ik James Murray, a morphine slave, ar- rested for vagrancy, declared that he did not care how long a term of im- prisonment might be prescribed for him as his life was a failure anyway | and might as well be spent in jail as | anywhere else. Judge C onlan gave the | unfortunate fellow six months and was politely thanked for the sentence. ey Joseph Smith, who shot and killed Joseph McGowan last Saturday, was charged with murder and mst‘uclcd as to his rights before Judge Mogan. On motion of the defendant's attorneys, | ex-Judge D. J. Murphy and John J. Gilfoil, the formal arraignment was continued till next Monday, by which | time the Coroner’s jury will have been | heard from. Smith looked rather worried as he sat with his counsel and | listened to the Judge's instructions. . Miss Irene Curry gave a birthday party last Saturday evening at her apartments in 104 Turk street and those present were Miss Lillie Thomas, Thomas J. Curry and B. Castro. The quartet unanimously informed Judge Fritz that the landlady’s intrusion was unwarranted, as no more noise was | made than is usually produced at social functions of that kind and that she provoked the hurling of the mattress to the merfymakers. The landlady, been deliberately trying to reugh-house” the uproar could not have been greater and that it avas to pre- serve her furniture from menacing demolition that she invaded the cham- ber and commanded that the festivities cease. The mattress came to her so suddenly that she could not state which of the defendants hurled it, but she be- lleved that it was projected by more than one pair of hands. Case continued one week. Dejected of spiritanddeprived of com- panionship,- “Spider” Welsh, profes- sional pugilist, sat in the cage of Judge Fritz’s court and awaited the summons forth to be sentenced. What would that sentence be? Would it em- brace the maximum penalty for crap shooting, the offense for which he was arrested and the top limit for@holding the court in contempt by deliberately lying to 1t? Harrowing possibility!

Thus was Mr. Welsh kept in canker- ing incertitude until the long calendar | was clegred and his Honor arose to | adjourn for the day. Then the anXx- fously awalted summons came. “Jt's not the shooting of craps I blame you most for,” severely spoke the court, “but your insistent trying to | deceive me by asserting your name is | Smith.

CURED BY CUTICURA One Application Soothed Him to Sleep. Cure Speedy and Permanent. “ When my little boy was about three months old his head broke out with & rash, which was very itchy and ran con- siderable watery fluid. We tried every- thing we could, but he got worse all the time till it spread to his arms, legs, and then to his entire body, and he got so bad that he came near dying. The rash would itch so that he would scratch till the blood ran, and a thin yellowish staff would be all over his pillow in the morn- ing. I had to put mittens on his hands to keep him from tearing his skin around his wrists. He got so weak and rum down that he took fainting spells like we would think him dylng. He was al- most a skeleton and his little haudn were thin like claws. «“He was bad about eight months when we tried Cuticura Remedies. I had not laid him down in his cradle in the daytime for a long time. He had got so that he just slept in our arms all the time. I washed him with Cuticura Soap and put on onme application of Caticura Ointment and he was so soothed that I put him in the cradle. You don’t know how glad I felt when he felt better. Ittook one box of Cuticura Olntment, pretty near one cake of Cuti- cura Soap, and about half a bottle of Outicura Resolvent, to cure. I think our little boy would have died only for the Cuticura Remedies, and I shall al- ways remain a firm friend of them.” Mgs. M. C. MAITLAND, JasPER, ONTARIO. No return in 14 years. Mrs. Maitland writes, under date of Feb. 24, 1903, that the cure is permanent. « It affords me much pleasure to in- form you that it is fourteen years since my boy was cured of the terrible skin disease from which he suffered. ¢« He has been permanently cured and is hearty and strong.” ughout the world.
