HE GOT A CONTINUANCE.
Now Lawyer McGill VIII Endeavor 10 Hunt
Up His Client.

Attorney J. j. McGill was in peck of
trouble at the close of the civil session of
the District Court today. He had client.
OF course, that was not an unusual incl
dent with the well-known counsel for the
defence in the kecgan case, but he did not
know whether the man he had been asked
TO defend was really the same one as joel
Rodinsky, Mr.. Il. III. Wilde's client had
sued There was some little talk over the
identity of the men, and Mr.. Wilde also
claimed that Mr.. McGill had not treated
him with that high civility that members
of the bar are supposed To extend each
other when not engaged in the warmth OF
court controversies.
ThenNir. McGill laid before Judge Sweet
land "A portion of his troubles. He said he
was visited by man named Duco known
Hebrew constable. This inforamtion Mr..
McCiill said he obtained through an in
terpreter, and argued that If Hebrew
constable served u writ on Pole who
spoke neither Hebrew nor English, he, as
counsel had more than the usual difficult
ties to meet in such case The writ
was issued against man named Nolinsky
but the plaintiff was put on the stand and
swore that the man he sued was Pole
who gave testimony in suit against him
brought by r. Volpe. The present suit
was to recover the value of IA coat.

of his client, but would try to find him.

section doing immense damage TO cattle
and sheep. Business here Is practically
suspended and yesterday even the daily
papers were not issued. On the main

while residences on The outskirts or the
city are completely buried by the drifts.
Many buildings collapsed from the weight
of snow on their roofs. The storm cx-
tends from Medicine Bow TO Pine Bluffs,
Wyoming, distance of 10 miles. Laramie
and sherman Hill appear TO be the
very center of the storm. All freight
trains on the Union Pacific have
been suspended for the last 4S hours and
the officials are making futile efforts To
keep passenger trains moving. lraln
Master Culross of the Union Pacific hopes
to have trains moving some time today.

COPPER LEFT OUT.
Through an Oversight It is not Men
toned In the Tariff Bill.

Washington, April Through some
oversight during the consideration of the
Dingley tariff bill the House neglected
TO adopt an amendment to put copper on
the free list, which had been prepared by
the ways and means committee and con-
sequently there is no provision for copper
in the bill. Not having any special men
ton, copper falls into the basket clause
at 10 per cent ad valorem. In the original
draft of the bill the Mckinley rate of
per cent. per pound on copper was retained.
The subject was brought 10 the attention
OF the committee "A second time and as il
appeared that no copper is imported into
the United States and some is exported.
the committee saw no reason why it
should not bc included in the free list.
The clause providing for it in the metal
schedule was stricken out by the House
but the amendment putting IL into the
free list was not adopted.

CANNOT IMPRIsoN THEM.
An Important Decision Affecting National
GusrdSmsu


National guardsmen will be inter-
ested in the following, relating to ar
rest of members Of companies who re-
fuse to pay fines imposed for non-at-
tendance at drills. Last week in
Oregon City Judge Hayes heard argu-
ment on the petition of Richard N.
Bradley for writ Of habeas corpus to
release him from serving three days In
jail for failing to pay fines to the
militia for non-attendance at drills.
The petition was based on the grounds
OF technical error as to the execution
issued by the justice and unconstitu-
tionality OF the statute under which
the proceedings were taken. It was
argued that the law violated the pro-
visions Of the constitution against i'm
prisonment for civil debt, and against
depriying q person Of liberty except on
trial before jury. The state took
the ground that the legislature had a
right to give to the military court Of
discipline the power to impose fines
for infraction Of discipline, and to
make it the duty Of the civil court to
collect the fines thus imposed or
punish the offenders in case Of failure
to collect. The court rendered q des
cision granting the writ, on the ground
that the law is unconstitutional.
The decision Of Judge Hayes, II sup
ported by the supreme court, will place
company commanders in position
different from that now occupied. At
present. they have the fear of arrest TO
use a. means of compelling their
men to attend drills and pay fines for
non-sttendance. 1t seems probable
that the national guard officers will
take steps to have the constitution
ality of the law tested before the
supreme court.
