OUINTON NAMED.

ia Fe Chanceryshlp.


ia Fe Chanceryship
Eugene Quinton was today named as
special master for the Santa Fe, in place
of ]. B. Johnson, though it is not thought
the appointment will entirely terminate
the relations of Judge johnson in the
case.
An order was drawn up in New York
directing Judge Johnson as special mas
ter to make an effort to find all the prop
erty of the Santa Fe not covered in the
sale of the road. 1t was to be sold and the
proceeds applied toward the judgment of
100000 still held unsatisfied by the
Unin Trust company,
The order was printed and
sent to Rossington. Smith & Dallas
to be presented to Judge Foster.
Judge Foster took the order and
erased the name of Judge johnson and
substituted that of Eugene Quinton. No
reason for Judge Fosters action is known,
unless it is to divide the profits accruing
to the master and that Judge johnson has
had his share.
When the work included in this order
is done it will practically close up the
business of the special master, SO is is in
the nature of the last plum.

Marshal Brown appeared for the
prosecution and G. A. Davis represent.
ed the defendant. The first move of
the latter was to file a demurrer to
the charge drunkenness" on the plea
that there was no such offense known
to the statutes. This was sustained by
the court The prosecution then
amended the charge to take the precise
wording of the law. Mr.. Davis then
on the ground that the prosecution
knew the charge was at fault. knew a
demurrer would be made and had
waited until it had been filed before
offering to amend. Overruled.
The case then proceeded. Three wit
nesses were called In eliciting tes-
timony there were a dozen ''eXcep-
tions" taken and some rare legal
sparring. At the close the court
found the defendant guilty of ''being
intoxicated on public highway, etc"
and imposed the usual fine of So. Mr..
Davis, for the defendant, Immediately
gave notice of appeal to the Circuit
Court. Allowed. Bond was fixed at
