EPlTHETS AND BLOWS
EXCHANGED BETWEEN JUDGE
AND ATTORNEY
Lassen County's Superior Court Room
Stands in Great Need of
Thorough Cleaning Out

| SUSANVILLE. Cal, Jan. S.-The
court room of the Lassen county SUI
perior court was this afternoon the
scene of an extraordinary alteration
between a judge on the bench and an
attorney at the bar. The affair was
marked by an interchange Of offensive
epithets and concluded with a personal
collision, in which blows were exchanged
by the two unusual combatants.
For some time relations have been
strained between Superior Judge F. A.
Kelly and Attorney E. v. Spencer. In a
recent case Spencer had filed an aff1-
davit charging improper conduct on the
part of Judge Kelley in allowing his
(Spencer's) opposing counsel to discuss
the merits of the case in chambers after
its submission. Spencer this afternoon
took strong exception to ruling by the
court. Several ironical remarks passed.
and then Judge Kelley fined Spencer $50
for contempt. Instead of stopping the
wrangle, this made matters worse.
Spencer denouncing the court to his face,
and the court retorting with the unqual-
flied statement that Spencer was falsi-
Hel. Not CoHteHl VIII pTaIuinS tue at
torney as liar, Judge Kelley followed
it up by leaving the bench and striking
Spencer. Spencer attempted to strike
back, but Deputy Sheriff Martin inter-
fered, and the judge returned to his seat
on the bench. Spencer, not at all soothed
by the blow he received, stood at the bar
of the court, applying to the judge all
the offensive epithets suggested by his
wrathful state. The court then ordered
the deputy sheriff to remove Attorney
Spencer. This order was carried out,
but the court afterward modified the
instructions and allowed Spencer to re-
turn. The hearing of the case before
the court was then resumed.

Growth of ExnIorntion

The uttermost parts of the earth have
never been so sought out as at present

expedition sailed few months ago for

tribute to the success of the importa Mt

known of the antarctic at the present
time is that no approach to the south
pole nearer than 720 miles has ever been
recorded; icy barriers exist which
eclipse those of the north pole. and
mountains have been discovered of
lofty attitudes, some of these being vol
canoes. Further, the surface is covered

MEMORIES.

Ghosts of departed better days.
Vague specters of forgotten scenes,
Peact messengers whose presence brings
Tranquility, when twilight filings
Its purple gloom, and night convenes
Her spirits in the amber haze.
Dark-robed magicians by whose art
Forgotten forms are conjured up,
Shrewd alchemists whose cunning hold
Turns recollection's rusts to gold,
And pours in fancy's silver cup
The dews of peace to still my heart.
I welcome you this lonely night,
Crowd round my chair and revel free,
Nor mind the storm kings fractions shout
Who holds wild carnival without,
Throw charmed nantes over me,
My restless heart with dreams delight
Haste. while the deep'ning shadows steal
A-down the dusky path of night,
Dim harbingers of spirit bands
Who lure the soul to unknown lands,
Haste, while the embers dying light
Its mystic picture-lore reveals.
What glories in your largess seem!
What grotesque forms your magic makes,
And in the lights that come and go
Dream phantom of the long-ago
Its visions of dead days awakes,
And sets thoughts smoldering fires a.

What strange emotions thrill the heart
As each Elysian shade appears!

These phantasmas of meIh'ry art.
