There are some things about this de-
cree that do not meet my approval" said
he.
Mr.. Peckham and the other attorneys
looked up and waited Judge Caldwell
then called attention in an undertone to
several minor points and the attorneys
agreed to make the changes suggested.
There was a clause with reference
to where action should be com
menced against the receivers
which did not meet his approval.
He said that he was of the opinion that
the decree should say that an action
might be commenced in the state court.
Mr. Peckham said that was under

Col Rossington.

! pen.
"Oh, don't ask me question of gram
mar, Mr.. Peckham," replied Judge Cald-
we'll good humoredly. "You are bet
ter grammarian than am anyhow"
Then Dir. Peckham made the entry to
suit his own views of grammatical con-
struction.
Another point to which Judge Cald-
we'll objected was the clause which said
! that all damage suits should b5 COM

Eugene F. Ware corrected him by say
ing two years.

things" said Mr.. Peck.
Two years." said Mr. Hurd, and the
controversy ended by the change being
made in accordance with the suggestiO OF
| of Judge Caldwell.
The decree read that the sale should
be made by special master. Judge
| Caldwell thought that the omission
might have been made because the at
torneys expected to get another
master appointed. "We have &
special master in Judge johnson, y
said he, "and he is going tc
make this sale. No charge of ineom
potency has been made against him and
1 want the order to explicitly state that
the sale is to be made by him"
Dir. Peckham said that there was no
thought of having any one else make
the sale, but Judge Johnson's name wa:
inserted in the decree.
Mr.. Peck then raised the point which
caused the adjournment to Leavenworth
Judge Caldwell said that the date O.
the sale would be left with Judge John
son, the special master
Judge Johnson said that he had no
decided upon the date for the sale. bu
