SUE CONTRACTOR SWEENEY iPJnintlff Claims Dynamite Was iTtcoklcssly Used in Quarrying Jlock Near Her Home In -Murqunm Gulch. i damngc suit of somewhat unusual nature In which 'Mrs. Katherine Martz loff seeks to recoer $10,000 from John W. Sweeney, a contractor, was tried in Judge Cloland's court yesterday without a Jury, and "was taken under advisement. Mrs. Martzloff is an old resident of Portland, and is the mother of a family of grown children. Her home is in Mar quam's Gulch at the head of Sixth street, and close by Mr. Sweeney has a quarry. To loosen the rock Jt ha been neccswry to blast from time to time. Mrs. Martz loff com pin Ins that the shots of dynamite caused pieces of rock, large and small, to hn. thrown upon the roof of her house and through the doors and windows and th shocks of the blasts would shake the dishes and other articles in the house. Says Slie Was Terrorized. These blasts terrorized her to such an extent that finally jn April. 1903, she was taken ill and it is alleged that sho Is a nervous physical wreck, -and was pre viously a strong, healthy person. She was not present in tho courtroom yester day because it is said she was unable to leave her home. Her son. Henry Martzloff, testified con cerning tho blasts and said he met Sweeney last year In the office of Bern stein & Cohen by appointment and Tasked him to discontinue the blasts. Mr. Sweeney promised to do so at the expir ation -of six months, and offered to rent the Martloff residence for that length of time for $10 per month so as to permit the family to live elsewhere. Martzloff, who does not reside with his parents, said he could not find thpm an other house less than $18 to $20 per month, so they remained where they were. He said Mr. Sweeney never offered to buy the property nor leape It perma nently to his knowledge. Mrs. Christine "Wagner, a daughter of the plaintiff, declared: "When they would call 'Fire!' everybody would run, and we would run too." She also stated that the foreman said It was dangerous nnd told of her mother's illness resulting from the nervous strain. Other members of the family and neighbors testified. Drs. W. I. Cottel. J. If. Bristol and S. H. Sheldon testified that Mrs. Martzloff suffers from nervousness and a weak heart. For tho defense J. B. Groat, who was foreman of the quarry for a number of months in 1902. admitted that In the be ginning they had an inexperienced pow der man and rocks from several blasts struck the Martzloff house, but did no serious damage. Foreman Tells Ills Story. He said Mr. Martzloff complained and said his wife was sickly and me shocks hurt her. Mr4 Groat said they got a new powder man. Mr. Sweeney admits that there was some damage, but not great, and Is will ing for the court to assess it, but neither her nor his counsel. Joseph Simon, con cede that the blasts are responsible for Mrs. MartzlofTs ailment, but say it j is due to natural causes. An effort was made to show that Mr. Sweeney had been willing to buy the property. Tho house was empty when he first acquired the quarry. Dr. Andrew C. Smith was agreed upon by both sides to examine Mr. Martzloff as to hor phys ical . condition and Its probable cause and report to tho court. Frank Schlcgel and Claude Strahan ap peared as counsel for plaintiff. PAUL MUSA IS ARRAIGNED Alleged Murderer of Kulin Given Two Days to Plead. Yesterday afternoon in Judge Frazcr'a Court.

Ife is n coarse featured -young man with a heavy crop of black hair, which hangs down over his, forehead. His hands are large and bronzed nnd ho woro ordinary working clothes. His attorney, J. M. Long, after the information was read, asked for two days' time in which to enter a plea. Mr. Long stated that ho desired to ex amine the Indictment as to Its correct ness and did not know If he would move against it or not. Judge Frazer granted the time asked and Musa was taken back to his cell by Under Sheriff Morden. Accuses Wife of Drunkenness. Sherman H. "Wobber has commenced suit in the State Circuit Court against Lee Annie A. Webber for a. dlvorca be cause of gross drunkenness. Ho alleges that in 1904 she was arrested for drunk enness and brought before the Municipal Judge. After receiving a warning she did not drink for a time, ho say?, but has resumed the habit, and remains away froru homo weeks at a time fre quenting saloons. Webber further charges that his wifo cut him with a hatchet. Webber owns a house and lot at West Piedmont. The litigants have one child 3 years old. They were married at Ta coma January IP. 190L Three Tears for Knlfc-AVlcldcr. John Smith, a colored man, was sen tenced to three years in the penitentiary by Judge Frazer yesterday for stabbing Fred Kelson. Smith pleaded guilty and admitted that he had served a sentence in the County Jail for a. similar offense. He said he came hero from Montana. "That is twice you have cut a man in a year?" asked Judge Frazer. "I can't help it." answered Smith. "I never bother anybody unless they bother me."

This apparently ended the matter, as Conductor Xoss repaid Yodcr. and not until Yoder started to leave the car did further trouble arise. Accounts at this point are widely at variance. Conductor Xoss swearing that Yoder applied foul epithets to him. nnd Yodcr declaring that Xos. without any provocation, followed him nnd attacked him from behind, strik ing him flvo times before he could get a club with widen to defend himself. Conductor Xoss was quite frank about the case, saying that he struck the first blows, numbering five, and thought that because of tho names he says Yoder ap plied to him ho had a right to attack him. Judge Cameron said he believed vulgar languago was used by Yoder, and con- Onc-Armcd Man Tells a Different Story In Police Court Alleged Bandit Gets Ball Other Cases Disposed' Of. An. exciting finish marked hostilities that broke out at 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning on Seventeenth and Thurman streets, between Conductor It. Nos and Lv. L. Yoder, a passanger. The latter Is crippled, having lost an arm. and was getting tho worst of tho fight with the car man until he managed to grasp a t board, which he brought into play with telling effect. The finish really came with tho appear ance on the scene of Patrolman Mallctt, who arrested both belligerents and took them to police headquarters. The facts leading up to the fight were related by the defendants, when they wero brought before Municipal Judge Cameron. One wltnerej for the prosecution was missing, and tho case was continued until this morning. The conductor wishes to prove by this witness that the passenger used vile language toward him. thus precipi tating trouble. Conductor Xoss "was in charge of a car on the Portland Hallway line and, ac cording to his story, he collected Y Oder's fare and afterwards Yodera friend, seat- 1 ed by his side, paid for two. Noss says he did not notice tho collection of the extra 5 cents, but that Yodcr tapped him on the foot, and told him he had paid his fare. "Why didn'f you say so?" asked Con ductor" Noss. "Don't get 'cockcy about it," said Yo- Conductor and Psu?Bjccr "Mix.' tlnucd the case until this morning, in or der to allow time for Xoss to produce an unbiased witness. m Frank Williams, charged jointly with Jesso James Shewell with the hold-up and robbery of tho Victoria Hotel, yes terday was admitted to ball in the sum of $730. which was given, and he is now at liberty, pending the outcomo of the case. He claims Jie was not In Portland on the day of the hold-up and robbery, he setting up that he was In a Washington logging' camp at the time. Shewell is still in the City Jail. "He just bent in my skull." said J. Olson, when questioned by Judge Cam eron a3 to how badly he was hurt by ENTER VIGOROUS PROTEST DAUGHTERS OF REVOLUTION DEFEND CASTLE HOCK. 'Ho Just bent my lcnll." nald Olaon. Malcolm Sherwood, charged with assault and battery. "Bent In your skull?" exclaimed Judge Cameron. "What was this trouble about, anyway?" Olson explained that he was employed by a local plumber, was engaged In lay ing: pipe In a ditch when Sherwood drovo up with a wagon-load of dirt and began emptying It. Olson said he asked Sherwood to wait until he got the pipe laid. "Shut up. or 111 crack, your nut!" re plied Shcrwiod. Words followed, and Sherwood assault ed Olaon. , Judge Cameron fined Sherwood $15. F. G. Lclding was fined $30 for sustain in"" Illegal relations with Susie Kerr. The young woman stated to Judge Cameron that she had pawned all of her jewelry and other possessions to help, support Lclding. and that in consequence she had been catinsr but one meal a day of .late, and jtometlmes a poor meal at that. Lclding sometimes works as a barber. Pass Resolutions Condemning- Pro posed Act or Vandalism Exhi bition of Xecdleivork.
