Joornal Special Service.)', Oregon City, Feb. .- Ther was all ' kinds of excitement at the council roeet- -' lng last night Remonstrances and res ignations were listened to and various other business gone over. . Toward th and of the meeting Councilman K. Koer- , tter arose and said: "It has occurred to me before, but I have never had the opportunity of men tioning ft before the council, but I think the city attorney should be Instructed to Investigate the status of Councilman Storey and E. D. KeUy, both having changed their residence since election. Mr. Storey has moved from the Third ward to the First, and Mr. Kelly from the First to the Second. I should like to know, as a point in interest, if any thing the council might do, if they were not entitled to their seats, would be con sidered legal. I therefore move, Mr. Mayor,, that tha, city attorney bo so in structed." - Councilman Kelly had. gone home,. but Councilman Storey picked up hla ears and went and had a few whispered words with City Recorder Curry. What the recorder said to him is only conjecture. It might have been "How old Is Annf or something like that In any case, ' Mr- Storey smiled and then looked grave. , "Mr, Mayor, as I see that Mr. Koerner does not want my presence any longer in the council t tender, my resignation right now."- .This action on the 'part of Storey was a thunderbolt and several councilman tried to have him recall his resignation, lie was firm. Mr, Koerner then said that thera was nothing personal between him and Mr. Storey, and thought that Mr. Storey was a little hasty and that he ought to wait until the city attorney made a report Mr. Storey was still firm and stared at the ceiling 1b defiance., Mr. Storey said: ' '"For certain reaaons Mr. Koerner de sires my resignation. He has It" Mr. Sheehan then spread a littl oil on the stormy waters, said oil, no doubt, the kind that the paper company .la go ing to burn. He said: -,-- "Mr.,, Storey ought to .reconsider , hia action, as he has just as much right to a seat here as Mr. Kelly, I know that he would not be here a minute If ha knew he had no right to the seat. It is better to leave the matter with the city attorney." Mr. Storey said ha' knew what the city attorney' decision would be, and In order not to be 1'turned out' ha would resign.-- "- - ' At this point the meeting promptly adjourned and the question Is still pending.

Business before the superior court for the last two or three weeks has been a little slow, which Is a rather unusual thing for this time of the year. The lawyers, In their turn, claim that there is not much work for them to do on new casos, and when the lawyers fail to se cure new clientage, the court, of course, has less work before It Perhaps one thing that haa added to the dullness or affairs In the temple of Justice Is the: absence of Judge A. L. Miller, who has been absent holding a term of court at . jOoldendale, Wash. The judge is ex v pected to return tomorrow, possibly to ' night It is then believed that there may be some little stir in hearing mo . . tlons. at least if not the trial of cases in banc. . Only Two Cases Tiled. ' During" the last week only two new . cases have been filed. One is that of ' Ieo Ling, who has brought suit against . hla co-partners In the garden business. Leo Ling, Charlie Yon, Leo Ke Ouoy . and Leo Low formed a partnership and called the company Sou Sing company. Charlie, and the other two Chinamen borrowed money of Leo Ling amount . " lug to $364, for the purpose of purchas ing horses, wagons, harness, farming Im plements and other materials, and Ling claims a balance due on the account of - $229.20, together with interest The m-n decline to pay and Ling has pro cured the service of Coovert & Stapleton . to bring them to time.

Family trouble's and ' domestic - tranquility were aired at great rate fn the recorder's office yesterday morning when I '-. D. Teagle was arraigned on a charge of assault Mrs.- Lizzie Smith appearing . against him. . -:- ., .',:: , As a case it did hot amount to much except some new ideas were brought out by Lawyer Schuebel, who defended Tea gle, as to the manner that most women will act when engaged In a halr-pullingi contest Mr. Schuebel was very much wrought up over, the case and at one time City 'Attorney Storey auggested that "he take the stand If he knew so much about what happened." Storey and Schuebel had a number of minor dif ferences, which added Interest ' to . the proceedings.. ::..-;' ," . V: .... , .' From the testimony It appeared that there had been many vile names .used and much pulling of hair. Both Mr. and Mrs. Smith testified that Teagle had In sulted Mrs. Smith and had struck her in the face, breaking her glasses, and cut ting her face. It seems that Teagle and his wife had oeen renting from the Smiths and had been notified to leave Monday as Mrs. Smith "could not stand the noise and trouble they made fight ing." Accordingly they were moving out when Mrs. Smith accused the Teagles of stealing spoons--. The Teagles naturally resented this and then began the mix and the hyilngsgate;; Mrs. Smith was a lit tle excited as she thought Teagle laid hands on her. But this was. not the case. Mrs. Teagle testified that It was she. and not her husband, who clumped Mrs. Smith over the head with a stick, of wood and scratched her glasses off. - Judge Curry was much annoyed over the conflicting testimony but discharged the defendant after moralising over "good , conduct"!.

Dun bar, appellant, cam up for argument on th appeal of the secretary of state. Th case Is th result of ths enactment by tue legislatureof 19u4 of a law ap propriating 1 00,000: to- pay tha Indian war veterans for services tendered dur ing ths wars of 1868 ,anu 1857. When the appropriation was mad it was es timated that th sum named would be more than ample to pay all claima, but when payment waa commenced on duly authenticated claims it was found that the sum provided would be insufficient, and after th appropriation was ex hausted th secretary of state refused to issu warrants in payment of any further claims, those unpaid aggregat ing nearly $48,000. Tha respondent, an Indian war veteran whose claim was not paid but waa filed by the secretary of state to ba referred to th legislature at Its next regular session for its ac tion, brought a mandamus proceeding againat th secretary to compel him to issue th state's evidence of Indebted ness in payment of th claim, which that officer asserted he had not th right to do. Judge Cleland, In the circuit court in Portland, issued an alternative writ, commanding the secretary to audit tha claim and draw hla warrant there for, and that officer appealed the case. The attorney-general, who appeared for the state, urged that no warrant of law existed giving th secretary of state authority to draw warrant in satisfac tion of claima after the appropriation had become, exhausted, and whero thera la a special appropriation for 4 particu lar purpose the measure of th appro priation la th limit of authority to ob ligate th atate.

The will of Fred Gal, who was murdered by soma unknown party or parties at Cottage Grov several week ago, was filed for probata today. Th value of th es tate Is estimated at $8,000.

The beating would not hav injured a man in ordinary, health, but Gala had Bright' disease, and a blow above th kidneys caused his death.
