Judge Clancy broke all records in the
dispatch of court business yesterday.
There were score of cases on his mo-
tion calendar and ordinarily the hear
ing of them would. have consumed the
greater part of a day, but the judge had
an engagement to meet at II o'clock,
and when he convened court at o'clock
yesterday morning he informed the
members Of the bar that the calendar
would have to be cleared up within an
hour and a half, but better time than
that was made, for just 40 minutes had
expired when the last matter on the
docket had been disposed of.
Among the matters set for hearing
was a motion to strike from the files
the complaint in the case of w. A.
Clark & Bro. against John Caplice,
John Brannigan and the administra-
tor of the estate of Fred Caplce de-
ceased. The defendants attorney was
not present when the motion was called
up, and F. z. Corbett, representing the
plaintiff, said he would like to have the
matter disposed of. He said there were
about 100000 involved in the action
and he considered the motion filed by
the defendants as nothing more than
dilatory tactics.

I'D like to have the motion over
ruled" said Mr.. Corbett.
Yes, l think perhaps you would"
said the court
Il beg your pardon?' said Mr.. Cor

lawyers in my time who would like to
have something done when the other
fellow was away
II have right to have the motion
overruled,' said Mr.. Corbett
But I'll just continue it until next
Saturday" was the courts final re-
mark.
The defendants demurrer in a suit
of Joseph Boos against William Maus
had been set for hearing. John N.
Kirk, attorney for Mr.. Maus, had just
stepped out of the court room and the
plaintiffs attorney suggested to the
court that Mr.. Kirk would be back in a
moment.
"I'll overrule the demurrer" said the
court; he ought to be here
Mr.. Kirk got in just in time to hear
the court overrulng his demurrer.
We'll. give us 20 days in which to
answer and let it go at that" said Mr..
Kirk. The order was made and the
court called the next case.
Attorney Tillinghast had a long petit
tion asking the court to issue an order
to show cause why the Administrative
of the Largely estate should not carry
out an agreement made by Mr.. Largely
during his lifetime to sell the Summit
valley placer to George A. Cobban. Mr..
Tillinghast started in to read every line
of his petition and the court listened to
it with evident Impotence until about
half of it had been read.

judge, interrupting the attorney; I'll
grant the ORDER
The order to show cause was set for

matter of Victor Paltrovich against M.
Moth had been set for hearing. j. w.

Clancy without attempting to show
that the latter had jurisdiction, while
the case was pending in the other de-
partment of court
Mr.. Parr said that while he had made
no affidavit to that effect he had made
a statement to the court, at the time
he had asked for the appointment of
the receiver. that the other judge was
not holding court.
Il would ask the. court to set for

also continued.
