CARD SHARPS SUED.
Hovig Brings Civil Action to
Recover His Lost Money.
UNIVERSITY BOYS DISAPPOINTED
Mandamus Can Postponed gay-ward
Fall* to Get Hla Caaa Oat of tha
Superior Court—Brief Notes.
Ludvie Hovig, the Swede who claim* to
have lost SSOO in the Tycoon saloon on the
night of February 9, yesterday started suit
Mlinat Erail Morven, Henry Quiun, Matt
Eeese, Joseph Young and Charles Bogan
for the recovery of the money, which he
•ays was obtained from him by fraud and
force. With the suit Hovig, by his attor
ney. William Caldwell, also files attach
ments against the property of all the de
fendants in the case.
Hovig is a Skagit county laborer, who
came to Seattle aoout a week ago, and one
night visited the Tycoon saloon. He says
that he was forced into a friendly game "of
cards, and becoming involved, he agreed to
give the men he was playing SSO if they
would let him go. As he did not have the
money he put up an SBOO ceatiiicate of de
posit, from which he demanded the
change, $750. This the men refused to
give him, and the next day he had Mor
ven arrested, and upon a hearing was
bound over for trial in the superior court.
Morven, on the preliminary hearing, ad
mitted getting the money on the certifi
cate of deposit, but denies his implication
in the gambling game in which Hovig
was fleeced.
Warrants have also been issued for
Young, Quinn, Reese and Bogan upon
Charges of grand larceny. Reese was ar
rested last night and lodged in the county
Jail; but the other three men cannot bo
found. It is said they have left the state
to escape the charge.
CNIVEIiSITT DRILL CASK.
Many of the Students In Court—Th«
Hearing Poatponed.
Judge Lichtenberg's room in the superior
court was crowded to its fullest capacity
yesterday afternoon with university pupils
who had come to hear the trial in the
mandamus case against the university
faculty to compel the admission
of the ten pupils who refused to
drill. Much to their •disappointment,
however, the case was again put off for
two weeks.
Attorney-General Jones was present, but
was not ready to proceed. It would havo
been postponed one week, but another
case was set for next Saturday, and this
had to go over two weeks.
The ten pupils who were suspended are
very much provoked over the delay in get
ting the case tried. They are all anxious
for a settlement of the affair so that they
may know whether or not they are going
back to school again.
Judge Lichtenberg and the officers of the
court were somewhat disconcerted by the
big array of pretty young lady pupils.
They had brought in some of their friends
also, and had President Gatch called the
roll probably not more than a dozen pu
pils of the university would have been put
down as absent.
Ip««i p «« "Tweedledee or Tweedledum"
Judge Osborn yesterday decided a ques
tion that . has bothered some attorneys
lately. A motion was made before him to
dismiss a case because the title of the
court was not correctly stated. It read
"in the superior court of King county,
state of Washington." The point that
was raised was that the real title of the
court was: "Superior couft, state of Wash
ington, in and for the county of King."
Judge Osborn held that it did not make
snydißerence which title was used; that
they both meant tho same thing, and one
was as good as the other. In fact, it was
a case of "tweedledee or tweedledum."

AN OLD-TIM IS OFFENDER,
James Morely Beturn. and la In Trouble
Again.
Police Judge Rivers yesterday sentenced
James Morely, an ex-convict, to ten days
in jail lor vagrancy. He was arrested last
r rid ay on suspicion of stealing a suit of
clothes from a lodger in the Columbus
hotel, at the corner of South Third and
Mam streets, and it was at tirst thought
that the charge of burglary could be proven
on him. The man who lost the suit was
satisfied, however, upon the clothing be
lng returned to him and he did not appear
to prosecute the case. It was then that
Morely was taken before Judge Rivers for
trial upon a charge of vagrancy.
Morely was arrested here abont a year
ago on suspicion of stealing a horse from
C. D. Gillam, a stable man, but the charge
could not be proven, and he was discharged
from custody. He left the city immedi
ately upon his release and no one knew
where he went. He is very thin and pale,
and it is thought that he has been serving
a term in some county jail. It is claimed
that Morely has served a term for burg
lary in the Illinois state penitentiary.

\J KILLED A 810 WILDCAT. tr'
A Newcastle Man firings Down m Var
mint With His Kevolver.
E. J. Good, of Newcastle, killed a wild
cat yesterday afternoon with a shot from
his revolver while on the way to this city.
Mr. Good was following a trail through
the woods when suddenly a short distance
ahead lie espied the animal. It stood fac
ing him and evidently meant light. He
drew his revolver from his pocket, but
hesitated a moment about advancing.
Just then the wildcat turned its side to
ward the intruder so as to make a good
target, and he fired. The bait, of 38-caliber,
struck the animal in a vital spot near the
heart and kilted it instantly.
Mr. Good brought the body to the city
and will have the skin stuffed as a me
mento of the encounter. It was a full
grown wildcat and capable of making a
hard light.
A Series of Misfortunes.
James C. Gormley, manager of the
Washington Printing < ompany, who has
been confined to his bed by a series of mis
fortunes for nearly four weeks in his
rooms in the Seattle block, is improving
slowly. As he was recovering from the
grip, about three weeks ago, and while in
a weak condition, a misstep on a steep
stairway caused him to fall and strike his
right shoulder, the result being a bad
bruise. Inflammation r.nd blood poison
ing set in, and a painful surgical opera
tion had to be performed, which has
cau3cd him much suffering and his friends
some anxiety as to the outcome. Mr.
Gormley, though very weak, hopes to ba
able to get about in a week or ten days.

MILLIONS GOING TO WASTE.
Excursion of Mississippi Valley Lumber
men in the City Astonished
At What They Be«.
The excursion party of Mississippi val

evening and is at the Rainier hotel. It is
composed of twenty-live persons, includ
ing Charles O. Perkins, who is conducting
the party on b?half of Raymond & Whit
comb. The members of it are; Mr. and
Mrs. R. C. Jefferson, St. Paul; J. J.

ner is vice president of the LaCrosse Lum
ber Company, of Louisiana, Mo. Mr.

liff deals m artists' supplies at Minneapo
lis.
They were met at the depot by R. M.
Hurd, of the Mechanics' mill, and Her
man Smith, of tho Fremont mill, who
accompanied them to the hotel. There
Edwin Louderback, of the Mechanics'
mill, S. W. Scott, of the Oregon Improve
ment Company, and John Davis, of Ana
cortes, met them and the latter extended
them an invitation to visit Anacortes and
the Skagit valley.
The lumbermen can be fairly described
as being in a condition of open-eyed won
derment at the immense supply of big
timber in the Sound country and the
wasteful way in which it is prepared for
the market. They had been spending tho
day at one of the camps of the St. Paul
and Tacoma Lumber Company, near
WUkeson, and had walked a mile or two
into the thick, untouched timber of that
neighborhood. They also visited the
Wilkeson coal mine. It was impossible
for a Post-Intelligencee reporter to inter
view any one of them, for several of them
gathered in a circle and talked of what
they had heard and seen. The only thing
to do was to take notes of their conversa
tion as they talked and it gives as good an
idea as could be obtained of their impres
sions. One gentleman was asked what
sized timber was being cut in tho Eastern
lumber districts, and replied:
"We are cutting trees as small as ten
inches in diameter."
Then the conversation flowed on in
something like this fashion:
"I would like to have the waste of any
of your mills. It amounts to 30,000 feet a
day at the St. Paul and Tacoma mill
alone. I saw slabs in the boiler-room
which they were using for fuel, and which
was as clear as any lumber I ever saw."
"We would make laths of it," remarked
another gentleman.
"1 would rather have the refuse from
that mill than any mill on the Mississippi
river; it would make me a millionaire ia
live years if I had it back there."
"This shows the difference between the
way you cut timber here and the way we
cut it back East," said another gentleman,
showing a little bit of wood about three
quarters of an inch wide and a small frac
tion of an inch thick. "That," showing
the width of it, "is the waste they make
out here, and this." showing the thickness
of it, "will not go into the gauge of the
thickness of a band-saw many of our peo
ple are ti3ing in the East. Every bit of
that waste costs $0 a thousand feet."
"Why, here they make not less than CO
per cent, of uppers—grades better than
common. We do well if we get 20 per
cent."
"We saw a creek up at Wilkeson which
was bridged lor two miles with splendid
logs. The water was flowing Beneath and
tliey were hauling logs above, the logs
being laid across the stream. A man
would be locked up in our country for
using those logs for such a purpose."
"And beautiful trees," remarked another
member of tiie group, with a smile, beam
ing with delight at the thought of the pil
lars he had seen rising toward the sky in
bewildering clusters.
"Yes, 150 to 200 feet before you strike a
knot, 1 ' said another.
"I saw one tree 221 feet long to the point
where it struck a cross log in falling and
broke off."
•'I asked the foreman how high a tree
was, and he said 200 feet. It did not look
so high, because all the trees around it
were as high. It was not like a church
spire; that stands alone, with no tall
buildings around it, and looks high.
Still you have to take three looks at one
of these trees to see to the top. '
"Twenty-five years from now the man
who gets the second cut on this land will
make $2 for every dollar they m3ke on the
first cut."
"They don't cut anything under two
feet in diameter. We would be climbing
over one another to get what they leave."
"I'd just want a thousand acres of such
stumpage back in Minnesota."
"But what horrifies us is the way they
waste one or two trees in felling another.
They never fell one without breaking one
besides, though the trees are so straight
they can fell tnem in any direction."
This conversation shows what the white
pine men think of the cedar and fir of
Puget sound, and the W3y it is logged and
sawed.
These lumbermen say that as yet
they do not feel any appreciable compe
tition from the Pacific coast. the
Northern Pacific has lately been
lowering its joint tariffs on lumber
so as to carry the Puget sound
rroducts • further east, nevertheless
the rates are no: yet low enough to allow
any extensive shipments of general lum
ber. The shingles of Washington are now
reaching every part of the Kast—espe
cially those states lying west of the Missis
sippi. Bridge timbers and other long
pieces are sent to Chicago, but then the
Eastern lumber mills cannot supply such
sticks at all, for a timber a foot square and
fifty feet long is a rare thing.
The party will spend the day in com
parative rest at the Rainier hotel, for some
of the members are exhausted with sight
seeing. In the afternoon they will take a
special electric car to Green lake. Tomor
row morning they go to Snoqualmie Falls
and return to the Rainier for dinner. In
the evening they take the steamer City of
Seattle for Anacortes. There a train
offered by S. W. Scott, of the Oregon Im
provement Company, will be in waiting
to take them to Hamilton. By 2 o'clock
on Tuesday afternoon they will be at the
Fairhaven hotel for luncheon. Tuesday
night will be passed at Anacortes, and on
Wednesday morning they go to Port
Town3end. and from there to Tacoma and
Gray's Harbor. The trip includes Oregon,
California, Arizona, New Mexico and
Texas.

appearance of the great sun spot which had
been visible during the past week. Other
aurora displays may be expected in the near
future.
Other dispatches to the Associated Press
show that the phenomenon was wit
nessed at New York, Hartford, Conn.,
and other New England points, Louis
ville, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus,
Toledo, Detroit, Indianapolis and at Illi
nois and lowa points, but not at St.
Louis, Kansas City or Memphis. At
Cincinnati it was at first supposed that
tl e city of Hamilton, twenty-five miles
north, was on fire. Though not seen at
St. Paul or Minneapolis, the aurora was
plainly witnessed at Milwaukee. The
peculiar disturbance known to telegram
phers as an "electric storm" greatly
hampered the working of wires.

STOCKTON, Cal., Feb. 13.— Constable
Hawes, of San Andreas, today arrested
Felix McClelland, who is supposed to be
the man who twice robbed theMokelumne

The man protests his innocence.
The stage was first stopped
on January 7at a point about three miles
from Mokelumne Hill, where the second
robbery occurred at the same time and
place. McClelland was formerly aa em
ploye of the railroad company at a big
salary, having charge of a long line of
track. He lost his position because of
drink and is now dissipated. He has a
young wife in Calaveras county, who has
left him on account of his habits. He is
35 years old.
