New York, Dec. 26.-Judge Thomas of
the United States circuit court has post
poned until Jan. 8 all the criminal cases
docketed for the day The case of Cor
nelius l.. Alvord Jr., the defaulting bank
teller, who stole S690,000 from the First
National bank, went over with the rest
Judge Thomas will in the meantime
hear the equity cases now on his docket.
He had notified the district attorneys
office of his intention to hold over tenn
porarily the criminal cases, so that the
big bank defaulter was not brought out
of his cell in Ludlow street jail
The Alvord trial is expected to require
at least six days in the hearing, which
was the chief reason it was not begun,
as necessarily it would have to be con.
tinued in the January term.
Mrs. Alvord, wife of the defaulter,
who has given up diamonds valued at
$150,000 as part restitution to the bank,
was ready to give her husband the moral
support of her presence in the court
room.
She will be present at the trial in
January and will stanchly stand by her
husband.
The jewels Mrs. Alvord is said to
have given up consist of rubies sap
phires, pearls and diamonds. They were
presented to her by her husband during
the last four years. while he was daily
taking large sums from the institution
that employed him.

GOES TO MT. IDAHO.
Judge Steele automatically
Settles the Question.

LEWISTON, Idaho, April 23.-The pres
ent term of the district court will close
Thursday, and Judge Steele will start
Friday morning for Mt, Idaho. An
amusing incident in connection with
! the approaching term of court in Idaho
county is being told among the lawyers.
1t seems that the town Of Grangeyille
was anxious to have the court sit in
that place and sent long petition to
Judge Steele The petition recited at
length that smallpox was prevalent at
Mt. Idaho and everybody was in danger
Of catching the disease. Two physicians
gave testimony to the effect that tsr
sanitary reasons the court should be
held at Grangeville. Judge Steele re-
ceived the petition, and calling the law
yers around him during a recess of the
court said
Gentlemen, have just hafded to
me document in which you are all In
terested. 1t is a petition from the citi-
zens of Grangeyille asking that the
the petition, which is extremely vol
luminous, l gather that smallpox is
raging at Mt. Idaho and that it would
be dangerous for the court to sit there.
Now If this be true, and | have no
reason to doubt the word of these
worthy men who signed the document.
it would also be unsafe to hold court
in GrangeYille. You all know that,
l5rangeyille is only two miles away
from Mt, Idaho, and / would suggest
that we hold court at Cottonwood. Now
Cottonwood is fully 20 miles from both
these towns and is noted for its stlubri-
Gus and life-giving atmosphere. All the
lawyers will enjoy the quiet surround
ings of Cottonwood and it will be like d
trip to q summer resort. How would
you all like to go to Oottonwood?"
There was a painful silence, when a
Grangeville lawyer said
"Your honor, if you will allow me to
speak for the people of Grangeville, l
will say that the danger is not as great
as has been pictured. l am sure that
all the lawyers are willing to go to Mt.
Idaho if your honor will consent to
take the same risk. / will notify the
people Of Grangeville by telephone that
! your honor has decided to hold court at
Mt. Idaho in preference to Cottonwood.
Have | your permission to send such a
message@'
Judge Steele smiled as he bowed his
head in acquiescence, A Lewiston law
yer, in discussing the matter, said:
''There has been scarcely any small
pox at Mt. Idaho and the disease GER
tainly has not permeated the walls OF
the court house. The Grangeville folks
thought they would get up kind of a
scare. Judge Steele was evidently jok-
ing. for he knows very well that the dis
triet court must be held at the different
county seats and nowhere else, accord.
ing to law When the judge mentioned
Cottonwood he knew that would settle
all differences of opinion in both Grange.
