judicial frown and looked them over one
by one.
George Villa ms, the police said, had
been drunk but George denied it with
tears in his eyes. He was on his way
from Beatrice he said but did not re-
member where he was bound for. The
officers said he staggered but George
said he was asleep and as the Judge had
never seen man stagger in his sleep. he
viii keep him on exhibition for five days.
VIM. Brown was drunk, too He ad-
mitted it, but said he had never been in
police court before and sorry about
it. The judge W as sorry, too, and gave
Bill five days in which to dry his tears
Charley Myers, who had been loafing
about the interior of box car accom-
panied only by d fever, was on his way
to Ell PasO and the judge allowed him to
continue his journey
Charley Williams was pockmarked
and very penitent. Charley had been
drunk. Officer Campbell said he was
drunk on hard cider and rurpentine
Charley pleaded guilty TO the cider and
swore by the ghost of Farmer Smith
that he would get right out Of town
within half an hour if given the chance
He wouldn't wait for a train; but the
Judge sort OF liked Charlie and will keep
him for five days.
Sam Young was in a box car, too.
There was nothing clean about Sam. In
a few places where the dirt had been
knocked off il seemed evident that he
WAS colored man Sam was from Usage
City and had brought up several bushels
of coal dust with him which quite
evenly distributed over his person The
Judge ordered his release.
Jim Stanley and his crutch were in
court this morning. Jim was from Hia
watha and was not very clean either. He
said he was painter by trade but he
was begging. The Judge suspended his
sentence for twenty-four hours and Jim

lightfully unwashed lie was on his
way from Omaha to EmpOria and the
jndge had no desire to detain him.
Judge Morton's house WAS stoned yes
terday afternoon by a gang of tramps

A POINT FOR EASTMAN.
The First Point in the Asylum Case
Decided in His Favor
MANDAMUS IS A PROPER METHOD.

DE- EastmAm'a Attorney Th1nA - This
Practically Decides the CAne-Other
supreme Courr Decisions.
The first point in the case Of DR. D. B.
Eastman in his effort to be reinstated in
his position as superintendent of the
insane asylum, was decided today by the
supreme court in his favor. and lawyers
say that this means a victory for Dr..
Eastman
When the petition for writ Of manda-
mus to compel the state board of chart
ties to appear and show cause why DR..
Eastman was not wron gully Kept out OF
the Office was filed, the board did not
answer but instead filed a motion to
quash the alternative writ They al
legged as grounds for the motion that an
action in quo warranto was the proper
remedy and that the plaintiff by his IN
explained abandonment Of the office
was barred from asserting his right to the
Office.
The court holds without a dissenting
opinion in a decision made by Chief JUS
tice Horton, that mandamus Is a proper
remedy where the officer has been
wron gully removed without cause. and
where superintendent is deprived of
his Office room and ia prevented from dis
charging his official duties, that he IS
wrongfulIy removed from Office.
1nOugn THIS does not O6Ciue tAS III oE1ls
Of the case, the position of the court that
DR.. Eastman was wrongfully removed IS
a blow at DR.. McCasey. There is now
but little doubt that the people will
soon be relieved from hearing Of more
scandal at the asylum.
w. A. 8. Bird, who is one Of the attor-
neya for DR.. Eastman and the former
steward. John Brun, said to q JOURNAL
reporter: This, in my mind, practically
decides the case in our favor, and DR..
Eastman will probably be reinstated
when the case comes up on its merits
