The Blue Jay case, which has been dragging dragg-ing along in Judire Anderson's court, .will be"y"submnted this afternoon, to the great relief of everybody connected with it. Judge Heiiderson made the closing argument for the' defense this morning, and Judge Beattie is speaking for the plaintiffs this afternoon. It may be some time before Judge Anderson renders his decision. WILL St'E THE CONTRACTORS. A Case in Which Unfair Methods Are Said to bo Practised. This afternoon in Justice Kesler's court suits will be brought by several laborers against Haskins fc Showell, street contract-or$. contract-or$. for the collection of money due, and from all i ndications there is likely to be some fun. It is claimed that the methods of the contractors are peculiar to say the least. They have a faculty of corraling nearly all a man ea: n if what the laborers allege is true . The men are biarded by their employers at a stated rate per week, and the claim is set up tiiat when a man has put iu a week's time he is laid off another week, which will nigh consume his wages. Men being very plentiful this plan of action can be successfully success-fully carried on. Should a man desire to quit his board is advanced 20 per cent, while his account is discounted 20 per cent. So say the aggrieved ones, and it is said that a'ter putting in two or three weeks time a man does not have more than $5 or $6 coming com-ing to him. The car-e promises some lively developments when it is brought up for trial. James Hegncy is backing the laborers labor-ers in their action. ANOTIIKR DIVORCE SLIT. F. t Sansome of the Tcmpleton Barber Shop Made the Defendant. Tliis afternoon Mrs. Agnes C. Sansome brnught suit for divorce iu the third district court against Fred Sansome, the well-know n ploprietor of the Templeton barbershop, on tire ground of drunkenness. Deputy Clerk Ljmis positively refused to allow a Times reporter to see the complaint or to give any iiTjirmatiou concerning it until service had be n made, from which it is inferred that an ef .rt will be made to enjoin the defendant fr mi disposing of his property. mm parties were married only aboht three ye irs ago, and the action of Mrs. Sansome iiij instituting divorce proceedings will crjate a great deal of surprise among tbelr f rilnds.
