filed an affidavit asking for change of
venue from the Superior Court In the ap-
plication of the railway company for an
injunction TO restrain the treasurer from
the collection of the taxes levied against
the company. McGday morning Judge
Taylor, in whose room the case was
fled. received a note from A. c.
Harris, attorney for the railway CON-
pany, saying that he was compelled
TO 20 to Vernon on business. but that he
had talked with Mr.. Ketchsm. and it was
probable that they would agree upon q
judge to try the case and asked Judge Tay-
Ior not to do anything until he returned.
Monday Judge Claypool came into the
court and desired to have the matter dis
posed of at once ana the case sent to the
Circuit Court Judge Taylor informed him
OF the contents of the note received from
Mr.. Harris. whereupon Judge ClaypOol fired
up and said that MIR. Ketcham had nothing
TO do with the case, that he was the only
attorney employed by the treasurer, and
that neither Ketcham nor Attorney general
Smith had anything TO say In IT.
JudgeTaylor, however. declined to act MP
on the affidavit until Mr.. Harris returned.
Yesterday morning Messrs. Harris,
Keteham. and CiaypoOl came into the court
TO argue the application for a change of
venue. Judge Taylor incidentally men-
toned the statement made the day before
by Judge Claypool. In an instant the lat
ter was upon his feet, with fire in his eye.
Il said nothing of the KIND" he replied
sharply.

q half dozen men who heard you say IL,
"I am perfectly willing to let the matter
stand as question of veracity between
you and me-" returned Judge Claypool,
land / believe that / will be sustained
when it comes to that. You take advant-
age of your position to say that which you
would not dare say outside OF the court
ROOM"
Judge Taylor trembled with suppressed
Indignation at this retort. and replied II
say nothing upon the bench which fear to
say anywhere"
Judge Claypool started to make some re-
ply, but was INTERRUPTED by Judge Taylor,
who then listened TO Mr. Harris in arsu-
ment against sending the case to the Cir
emit Court. AT the conclusion OF Mr. Har-
ris's argument Judge ClaypoOl started TO
speak again, but was interrupted by Judge
Taylor who said that 1T was of no use to
argue the question further. as he had made
mp his mind TO send the case to the Circuit
Court, and it was sent to that court with
out further parley.
