OYSTERS
Served. Jurors Created a Sensa
tion ir the City Court
JUDGE HARRIS IS JUDGE
And by This Time the Lawyers
Know it and the Witnesses
are Finding it out. At
tachments Issued
This Morning.
There was quite a sensation cre
ated in the City Court room thia
morning, and for a while Judge
Harris,had his hands full straight
ening the kinks out of the tangle
hut he did it in a masterly way,a d
soon all was serene and running
smoothly,
hen court convened this morn
ing, the trial of the case of F. J.
Shannon vs Ike Berry concerning
an imported jack, was resumed,
when Col. C. Thornwell, represen
ted plaintiff, complained to the
court hat Mr. Ike Rerry the de
f‘ tent, had taken some of the
Jury into Stoffragan's and “sit
’em up’’ to an oyster supper.
The complaint fell like a bomb
in the camp, and had the effect of
of bringing a half dozen lawyers
to their feet at once.
Os course some of them had to be
seated by his Honor until others
could be heard, and some of them
were so far off their cazipps that
they had to be seated and refused
a further hearing.
The court finally disposed of the
matter by issuing an attachment
for Mr. Ike Berry for contempt of
court. Then the case proceeded.
This attachment will be argued
before the next motion court and
Mr. Barry will lie given a 'chance
to show cause. In the meantime
he will hardly invite His H ero to
. an Oyster dinner.
Mr. Berry was seen by a Hust
ler or Rovg reporter and said that
in inviting the jurors tea at a few
oysters with him he did not invite
them as jurors but as personal
friends. He laughs at the efforts of
the other side to make a stone
I mountain oat of oyster shells.
Mr. Shannon, the complainant,
is ably represented by Col. C. A.
Thorn well and Judge Joel Bran
ham, while Mr. Berry has retain
ed Messrs. Hal Wright and Wright
& Hamilton who are fighting every
inch of the ground.

THE BLAME ON THE CLUB
Andy Bowen's Death Attributed to
His Head Hitting the Floor.
Naw Orleans, La., Dec. 19.
Coroner Lawrasou this afternoon
! held an inquest into the death of
Andy Bowen, who was killed dur
ing his fight with Lavigne last
Friday night at the Auditorium
Club.
Dr. Finney was the first witness
heard. He witnessed the fight and
saw Bowen when he received the
blow. Bowen did not fall like a
man who had just received a knock
out blow and Lavigne was not in
a condition to deliver such a blow
“In my opinion,” he said, “the
< eath was purely aecitb nt il.’Neith
er of the principals made objec
tion to the condition of the ring.’’
Dr. Lawrason explained to the
jury that the undigested food in
Bowen’s stomach had a bad effect
on the nerves leading to the huart.
The brain and vp’ns were also af
fected.
Mr. Joseph Sporl, of the Audi
torium Club, stated that he saw
Bowen fall, but did not see the
blow struck.
Police Sergeant McCabe and Tom
Anderson, backer of Bowen, also
testified.
Captain Frank Williams, of the
Auditorium Club, made the start
ling announcement that he was
not aware of the fact that there
was no padding on the floor of the
contest. It had been reported to
him previous to the day of the
contest that the covering was loose
and he ordered it fastened, but
through mistake of the carpenters
ths pidding was removed.
The jury returned a verdict that
the death of Bowen was due to
concussion of the brain and that
the fatality was due to the neglect
of the club in not padding the
floor of the ring.
CURED THE DIPHTHERIA
Anti Toxine Proves a Success in
St Lottis.
St. Louie, Dec. 19.—The first
practical test of the benefits of the
recently discovered anti-toxin** as
a cure for diphtheria, was made
here yesterday and proved a suc
cess. The subject uporn which tin
experiment was made is a three
year old child of Floyd Shock.
The child's condit.on wan such
that tracheotomy had been decid
ed upon as a last resort to save its
life. The parents, however, con
sented ’o an experiment with anti -
toxine, and its effect was instantly
apparent. The child breathed easi
er and in twelve hours ab diph
theric sym poms had passed away.
FIGHT IN THE COURTS
New York. Merchants Employ Coun
sei to Test the Income tax.
New York, Dec. 19.—The Sun
this morning prints the following
in its editorial columns:
“We are enabled on the highest
authority to state that Messrs.Jos.
11. Choate, and Clarence A. Se
ward regard the new income tax as
unconstitutional, andtha' these
eminent lawyers will represent a
large body of public-spirited New
York merchants and business men
who propose t* test the constitu
tionality of the law in the courts.”
_ if—rtt
Fitzsimmons is Willing.
Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 19.
Robert Fi'zsinimons, speaking of
the proposed meeting with Cor
bett, said yesterday:
“I fear the fight may not come
»ff. lam sure not at Jacksonville.
I do not see why Corbett does not
accept the Kinetoscope company’s
offer and let the fight occur in
New Mexico. It would be $50,000
sure mopey. The Kinetoscope
company does not care whether
anybody goes to see the fight or
not.”
