HIS LAWYER Is SICK.

That Is the reason Buchan's Ex-
animation Was Postponed.
George r. Buchan, who shot and
killed Joseph f. Anderson, was before
the municipal court yesterday for
preliminary examination OH the charge
of murder, but the case was continued
until Wednesday next on account of
the illness of his attorney, Ben johnson.
Buchan took things very easy when in
the court room. Powerful friends have
been at work since Anderson died. and
now they claim that he will be admitted
to bail after the examination. Buchan
is still in the custody of Sheriff Ege.and
occupies apartments in the county Jail,
where he spends most of his time in
reading and smoking. Certainly from his
actions no one would pick him out as
man who would deliberately shoot an
other. Mrs. Anderson was not present
in the court room. but it has been stated
that she has entirely recovered from the
shock. and it is expected that her teSti-
mOny will do much toward securing the
release of her ''friend." She has neither
denied nor affirmed the slanderouS sto-
rieS told against her husband by the
woman with whom she at one time lived.
Judge Emery yesterday dismissed the
charge of larceny against Mrs. Zeirath.
who was charged by the husband of
Kitty Mcdonald, who died in the Cobb
block week ago. Mcdonald claimed
that Mrs. Zeirath had stolen lot of
personal property belonging to his dead
wife. In dismissing the case the court
said there was no evidence to warrant
even an arrest.
George Woodside. an all-rOund tough
who puts in large portion of his time
around the Theater Comique, was be-
fore the court on the charge OF vagrancy.
He was arrested on the East side early
yesterday morning by Officer Pat Hur-
ley while he was berating the entire
police force in good round English. A
number of policemen gave George q
very hard name, and the court, after
giving him scatniag lecture. sentenced
him to ninety days in the workhouse.
AS he claimed to have work to do the
court suspended the sentence, but
warned him that if he didn't keep away
from the dives commitment would be
issued for him.
John Cannon, of Bismarck; Albert
Pitts. of Jimtown, and William Dolan,
of Montana, three young fellows who
refused to give any account of them
selves when Officer Collins overtauied
them at Tenth and NIcollet on Friday
night, were charged with yagrancy.
Candles and matches were found in
their possession, and the police were of
the opinion that they were going to ex-
plore some ones house in the neighb0r-
hood of Nicollet avenue. The court
thought so too, and committed them to
the workhouse for twenty days each,
with the advice to make themselves
scarce after the expiration of the stn-
| tence.
There was scene in the court room
Yesterday not down on the bills, aud
Sidewalk Inspector De Haven now
has greater respect for dogs than he
had before. James Eastman COM
| planned that J. Heardon was the owner
| Of vicious dog which had bitten his
little boy. The dog was one of those
| little fellows of uncertain breed which
generally delight in swapping at people,
and the one which was carried into the
court room by Mr.. Heardon's little girl
was no exception to the rule. The lad
| showed the court the wound inflicted
| bv the ours teeth, and Judge Emery
| told De Haven to take the dog out and
shoot it, But the officer couldn't catch
| him. The dog ran under chairs and
| tables and snapped at everybody. A
| base ball reporter grabbed the dog by
| the back of the neck, but he let go just
| as De Haven grabbed for him. He
| didn't get the dog, but the dog got him,
| and he Swore in five languages at once.
| Finally the owner of the dog picked it
I'D and walked out OF the room. Ser
geant Kirkham will attend to its eXecu-
tion
