wanted l,., D. Indicted.

ST. LOUIS, May 20.--A Republic special from Chattanooga, Tenn, says that Judge Floyd Estill of the circuit court created a sensation when court convened in regular ses- sion, by summoning Foreman Nor gan of the graad jury before him and instrueting him in open court to find an indictment against him, (Estill( for drunkenness.
 Judge Estill said: "Mr. Foreman 1 understand that you have in your possession Information that the judge of this court was intoxicated at the last term of court. If such Is 6 fact. it is your duty to indict the court for drunkenness
 ''I have heard it said, falteringly replied Foreman Morgan, ''that you were drank st that time. did not know that we bad right to indict the court"
 "I charge you,' said the judge, in commanding voice, ''to bring an indictment against this court the same as any individual for 8 hks oifense and order you to retire and investigate the matter."
 Judge Estill is one of the most prominent jurists in Tennessee. This Is an outcome of the war waged 1y Estill on certain members oi th county court, resulting in their in dictment for drunkenness. The jury has not reported yet.
