' Information was conveyed to the po lice yesterday afternoon that six kegs : of beer had been stored in, the base ment of a . house at East Thirteenth 'and Spokane streets and every voter with a thirst was being accommodated with a glass of the foaming brew. Detectives Hellyer and Baty were de- tailed , to make : an investigation and sfW ascertaining the condition of at : fairs Hellyer went to a nearby tela. . phone to receive instructions as to what course to pursue. The officer's convene But ion with police V headquarters . waa overheard by the butcher in the shop I Twelve Jurors, five lawyers and a bailiff of the United States circuit court went to. Seaond street between Morrison and Alder streets this morn- ins for the purpose of examining a street cer that had been plsced there by the Portland Railway, Light Power company and tha lay of the street where little Wong You Nom was killed by a street car laat year, to aid them In deciding the i suit of Wong Kim, father of the dead boy, brought against the street car company to re cover 15.000. In the meantime tiny Kum Tuk, Wong Tou Noma mother, and very little larger than a healthy 10-year-old Ameri can girl, sat In the courtroom weeping her eyes out at the memory of the tragedy which separated her forever from her offspring. Later the Jury returned and the mo notonous grind of Justice was resumed, J. R. Halnllne, an engineer,, was placed upon the etand in testified that he had seen the accident and that, while the little boy ran from the east side of the street, the rnotorman was looking to ward the west and was talking to a man seated to his left. The attorneys for the plaintiff will attempt to prove that the car was run nlog at the rata of three or four miles an hour at the time the aocldent hap pened and that the rnotorman, had he been looking ahead, could have stopped the car in time to prevent the accident They will also attempt to prove that proper fenders were not In use on the csr which killed the boy. This Is a point that Is regarded as Important be cause, of the fact that the legislature passed an act providing that tha city council end mayor of any incorporated city oould adopt any approved fender Instead Of the one provided by the state law, which stipulates that the fender must .extend two feet In front of the car and be not more than three Inches above tha rails. , The attorneys for tha plaintiff con tend that the legislature exceeded Its constitutional legislative power by passing an act granting such provision. The streetcar company will endeavor to prove that tha child came to its death through contributory negligence. The case was tried in the state circuit court last December end the Jury die agreed. Tne present trial was com menced yesterday and promises to be long fought. in Butte Boys Advertise ments Are Untrue.
