New York, April 20. With two
well known men, known to the sport
ing world as plaintiff and defendant,
with two other men known as Judge
and witness and a half dozen others
whoso faces can bo seen any racing
day in tho bookmakers' line at the
Metropolitan raco track, there ha3
been tried a $30,000 damage suit
There will be no appeal and the judg
ment was paid two minutes after the
verdict was announced.
Thomas McAullffe, known about
tho raco tracks for years, was the
plaintiff in tho case, and tho defend
ant was Gottfried Wnlbaum, the book
maker. Joseph VenJIg and Max
Bluraenthal, both members of tho
Metropolitan Bookmakers' associa
tion, were the Judges, and the court
was a prlvato room in an uptown
hotel.
McAullffe has but one arm, and sev
eral months ago, while departing
from tho Astoria club he walked
through a half open door, leading to
a stairway. In his fall he was severely
injured. Ho fell faco downward, cut
ting his faco and his neck, besides
breaking several ribs. Ho was un
der medical treatment for some time.
Upon his recovery he made a de
mand on Walbaum for compensation
for his Injuries, alleging that It was
the negligence of the club that caused
them. Walbaum disputed this and
both sides had hired attorneys to en
gage In a lawsuit when they met a
weok ago.
"I do not want the thing hanging
over mo for threo years," said tho
dofendant. "Lot us settle it."
McAullffo wanted $30,000. There
was an argument over tho terms and
finally tho plaintiff said: "Let us
leave It to tho boys and do without
any court. You pick ono man and I'll
pick anothor. Let them hear every
thing and what they say goes."
In another day Vendlg had been
chosen bytlio plaintiff and 'Blumon
thai bj tho defendant as Judges:
witnesses had' been notified to bo at
tho hotel at n certain hour and both
sides began preparation.
Vendlg nnd Blumonthnl wont to a
room nlono and called the plaintiff, j
defondant and witnesses one nt a
time. At the expiration of two and
ono half hours tho Judges came out.
"Wnlbniini, glvo him $l,0i)0, com
manded one and tho other nodded ap
proval. Without a word tho defendant
pulled his pockotbook out. four one-thousand-dollar
bllla were handed
to McAullffo and tho case was de
clared closed.
THIS ROSE HAD
THORN
Young Pendleton Benedick
Deserts Weeping Wife to
Bask With Another
Pendleton, Or., April 21. Ono
sweet dream of romance has been
shattered, and two fond hearts havo
been torn asunder, and all on account
of a vanished face and a lock of brald
ed hair.
Mrs. Roy Rose, a very pretty little
girl of 19 summers, Is mourning for an
absent lord, after Just six weeks' of
wedded bliss, and tho lord Is wander
ing from tho path in fields unknown.
On February 28th Roy Roso, tho 19-year-old
son of William E. Rose, a
Main-street barber, was married to
Miss May Holleby, also 19 years of
age, and the couple went to house
keeping In a little cottage at the edge
of town, on Railroad street. Last
Tuesday the husband left a note with
his wlfo, since which he has not been
seen.
For about three Jays after the wed
ding, so Mrs. Roso says, no two peo
plo on earth could have been hnppler
or moro contented, ana tnen tno
trouble began. It came In tho shapo
of a little hair necklace or chain, tho
material being taken by LUlle Peter
son, a former sweetheart of tho newly
married man, from her own head, and
woven by her own fingers. The chain
was sent to tho young barber with the
message that tho sendor loved him
still, and would wait for him until ho
tired of his brldo and would return
to her.
The chain was a hoodoo, and Rose
struggled against Its Influence for a
time- In vain. Ho then mado up his
mind to go to Portland, and took his
wlfo there Sunday morning, two
weeks ago. Ho secured work, and,
after working ono day, went from his
home In tho morning and never re
turned. His wife found instead, the
note which bade hor goodbye, and
stated that "someone had crossed his
path of whom ho thought more than
anybody else on God's green world,
and that he was gone forever."
