IBe. Finally. when an opportune time
arr. we'd they attached the pager, and had
Ins eourt epposnt = RECEIVER 10 take
charge Of and eondret the Co1cern.
Thsy named Ar. NJ. Dishon for the 20
sitioa, and be recsived the appointment.
M s. @. Young vas employed 20 take
eaArze OF the editorial department., and
held the position for several months.
Aboat sfx weeks ago Mr.. Young retired.
aud r. q Montgomery, for q long time
connected with the Iaeoma papers, was
employed 70 al the position made va
cant By Mr.. Ysune's retirement. The
policy Of the paper under bis manage
ment is too veil known to need much
explanation. Il has been one continual
attack upon Judge Greene. Chief jus
tice Of the Territory, and no opportunity
has been lost 20 speak III OF him both on
and OF the bench.
when Court Was called to order yes
tsrday morning the Judge reviewed the
facts which led 10 the appointment Of a
receiver for the paper, and said
have not Fesd many issues Of that pa
per, but have had them called to my
attention from time 20 time by
others. and have read few numbers
and partiau lar articles now and then,
which kava been presented 30 me. The
newspaper appears 20 be animated by a
desire, and occupied mainly Ia berating
the Judge OF this Court, and in endeay-
oring 90 make money by that operation.
OF course the Judge of the Court is
onon TO criticism, and recs Rnizes the
right OF every person 10 orisicise bat
there appears to me TO be something 50
pFemely ridiculous and absurd in the
Court conducting a newspaper which
berasea its Own Judge. Theoretically
am running the paper, though praoti-
eaIly AN not. la ne trly every issue
there ia some article refiectinQ upon the
Judge of this Court, threatening him
with vioiencs or something OF that sort.
have been foFoesring, have been pa
tient, and am patient still. What
desire Of you, gentlemen, who are attor-
neys in the ezse involving the owner
ship Of this property, u to 90 on with
the ltigati0a aud get the paper out of
tne hands Of the Court as soon ~ posi-
hle. am goisg to make an order, how
ever, and thai - that from and after
this date the publication of that paper
will b. discontinued until its present
sdlt0r Is discharged. and the receiver at
once discharge the preseRt editor, and
that he appoint no editor for that paper
