tempt Proceedings.

Not on Hand to Answer His Con-
tempt Proceedings.
The full bench of the district court,
and Judge Simpson in particular, were
given a shock yesterday when the con-
tempt proceedings against John P. Mel
son, former assignee of A. c.. Peterson,
came up in connection with the hearing
of the final account,
When the matter was heard IN cham
bers Judge Simpson continued 1t from
time to time in order to give Nelson an op-
portunity to straighten out his accounts,
the final hearing being Set for yesterday.
When the case was called Nelson was
not in evidence and both George Fletch-
er and his attorney ard w. R. Brown,
the present and third assignee stated
that they had expected him in court, and
much surprise was manifested at his alb
sence. Mr.. Fletcher started to look for
his client, and in the meantime the case
was passed. Upon his return the latter
stated that he had been unable to find
Nelson, when contempt proceedings were
continued until Wednesday.
Mr. Brown stated that he had in
vestigated the accounts Of Nelson and
found that of the S405 claimed by him
he is entitled to only $3.50, the total
amount not accounted for being $3.50. OF
this amount the American Surety COM
pany, with whom Nelson was bonded,
will stand good for ali but the $150. The
court ordered Brown to settle with the
surety company and wind up the estate.
In the meantime the query arises, where
is Mr.. Nelson?

Gen. Brooke has no objections to Chi
