The regular committee, to offset the

secured a large number of proxies also.
When the committees roll was called
it was discovered that between 70 and
100 proxies were held. From Kentucky,

Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
several other states were to be settled

Allen of Nebraska, Eltweet Pomeroy

AT midnight the committee had done
no business, the members waiting for
the report of the committee on Gre

Gases Disposed of and Calendar For
the Week.


Price, June 14.-In the Seventh dis
trict court here today Judge Jacob
Johnson granted non-suit in the case
of James P johnson VS.. Rio Grande
Western Railway company. This is the
second time this case has been tried,
the jury at the last term of court dis
agreeing. From the evidence intro
duced it appeared that the plaintiff,
who was in the employ of the Pleasant
Valley Coal company at Scofield, was
in October, 1896, engaged in shovei1ng
waste from the tracks of the Rio
Grande Western, and while so occupied
a train of-cars ran onto him. resulting IN
injuries for which he claimed the sum
of $4,000. 1t further appeared, how
ever, that the company was in no man
ner negligent in the manner in which
they operated their train, and that the
plaintiff, by reasonable diligence and
care, could have avoided the accident,
consequently, the motion made by
Judge Howat on behalf of the railroad
company for non-suit, was granted.
There were three applicants for nat
uralization on the opening day OF the
term, and these two, Helen B. Bell and
Adam Stewart, received the coveted
second papers, whilst Charles Cranes,
on account of his extreme ignorance OF
the form of government in the United
States, was denied the privileges OF
citizenship.
A jury was empaneled this evening
in the case of George c. Whitmore VS..
Rio Grande Western Railway company,
and the trial of the case will be taken
up tomorrow.
The following cases have been set for
trial:
Price Trading company VS.. st. V. LIE
