Rathdrum. Idaho. March 1S.-One of

court today was that of William L.
Spaulding VS.. the Occur d'Alene Rail-
way and Navigation Company. In the
calendar Hon. Willis Sweet and George
M. Forster, now of Spokane. appear
for plaintiff. and Albert Allen and AL

The case has a history. When ii was
called today none of the parties at in
terest appeared. Several of the older
practitioners of the bar leaned over to
exchange "reminiscences and Judge
Mayhem turned over another leaf of the
docket, doubtless with the remembrance
that this was the last case ever tried by
Judge Logan. The case was begun in
1887 as an action on contract amounting
to $4,000, and has been on the docket
ever since. All the papers were once
taken up to the circuit court and then
sent back. Hon. Willis Sweet, who
originally figured as attorney for the
plaintiff became judge. and was thereby
disqualified. Then Judge w. w. ID. Tur-
ner, now of Spokane, entered. At last
It was fought out before Judge Logan,
who was then in extremely poor helth.
Judge Logan was greatly fatigued by
he long trial, but held up until the end.
He turned to Colonel Turner and or
dered him to draw up the necessary pa
pers, evidently intending. as he said,
to give plaintiff Judgment. However,
before the judgment could be prepared
Judge Logan was taken suddenly worse
and after being conveyed to his hotel
refused to sign the judgment. He lived
but short time afterward. Judge
Buck. now superior judge of Spokane
county, was the first judge before whom
the action was brought. 1t is now car
ried over from term to term and may
