Legal circles mere were consld7raDl
stirred during the week and the com
motion extended to Boise. At the sam
time the members of secret orders il
town exemplfi.d some of the principle
that bind men in fellowship thougl
they be strangers.
On Wednesday of last week Prof. D
r. Judkins, the well known Pdge
Sound photographer, and proprietor o
the Northwest Panoramic company
gave an exhibition by means of thu
stereopticon to poor house. Another
exhibition was announced for the mex

was continuation of the poor luck thai
attended them across Oregon. In the
employ of Prof. Judkins was an adj
vance man named Custer an a lecturer
named Colson, to both Of whom he was
in arrears for salary; these parties had,
however, agreed to wait until the show
reached the states for their money. 1t
appears they broke this agreement, for
on Friday they employed e. Fl. Reed TO
bring suit against Prof. Judkins, and a
writ OF attachment was sued out of
Justice Callaway's court, returnable on
Wednesday last.
Prof. Jadkins is an Odd Fellow and q
United Workman, and on making
known his distressed condition, the

telegram to the Port Gamble (Washing-
ton) lodge sent by II. D. Blatchley, n
G., elected the reply that he was in
good standing and to take good care of
him. Prof. Judkins acknowledged his
liability to Messrs. Custer and Colson,
but proved his inability to pay them ex-
cept by the sale of his apparatus, which
involved the sacrifice Ct his only means
If sustenance and the result of four
years. labor. 1t was decided, therefore
10 fight the attachment and Hon. T. D.
Catalan, of Boise, was employed.
