makes 1t decidedly Interesting To
go into the history OF the case would
only be repeating what everybody
knows. Suffice to say that, having
secured Judgment against the com
pany for $50, 900, and being unable to
collect it, the plaintiff sought further
redress through the courts. AS re-
suit Judge Mayhem issued the follow
ing order:

In accordance with his instructions
Receiver Donnely went to Occur d.
Alene Wednesday to assume control
In this, however, he was unsuccess-
full, as neither the captain or purser
could be served with the order of the
court.
Upon notifying the court Of the re-
suit of his efforts, Judge Mayhem di-
rected Sheriff Bradbury to seize the
steamer, which was done, Deputy
Dyer being left in charge to protect
the receivers rights.
The Northern Pacific, however, not
TO be thwarted, made application to
Chief Justice Huston, asking that
Judge Mayhem be required to fix the
amount of stay bond, or show cause
why. The order or writ is redeema-
BILE Oct. 2.
Judge Huston also issued an order
directed to Judge Mayhem, Receiver
Donnelly and Sheriff Bradbury, COM
manding that they cease from further
action, and ordering that all property
turned over to Receiver Donnelly be
restored TO the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company.
Here the matter rests for the pres
ent. What future action will be taxi
en- is a matter OF mere conjecture.
